Where in the world do English-speakers pronounce it as Tschina?
Here in the UK, people pronounce it as "kin-wa" or "kin-oh-a", depending on the person.

I was puzzled because of this memes, so I looked it up- and the "how-to" youtube-clips teach it that way I described!

How odd! I looked on youtube after you mentioned this, and I literally can't find anywhere that teaches it to be "Tschina"! All the youtube clips I can find teach it as "kin-wa"

Now this is a very new way to pronounce it (while I always did it- not knowing what I was doing...) The advice for Germans is to NOT stress the first syllable, but the second. Oh my! It IS hilarious!

Thank you for prolonging the fun!

Soothing/ Downstream Thoughts

Everything is good, my inner being is well. Every day, as I align more and more positively with my inner being, my fears diminish, and my natural zest for life is awakened. Everything is safe, and I am enveloped in the warm stream of well-being that my inner being sends to me.

I find the food that is good for me and tastes good, and I can relax in the knowledge that I cannot do anything wrong. Instead, I simply follow my inspiration and feelings, allowing the food that is wonderful for me to come to me.

I can grow more certain every day of who I truly am. I can align more with my positive inner being every day, which is who I truly am, and every day I feel the love that my inner being has for me. Every day I develop further in my joy and my feeling that everything is good.

Everything I still perceive as stress and problems is only a precursor to a solution. While I have negative emotions, I send out so many rockets of desire, and now my only task is to align myself with my wishes.
It's so great how my inner being guides me and how many helpers from the non-physical realm are there for me. I can rely on these forces and especially on my own strengths and my love, which springs from me and encompasses everything that is beautiful, loving, and good.

I focus more and more only on the good and enjoy discovering new positive thoughts every day, having new experiences, attracting new beautiful positive things into my life, and enjoying this abundance more and more every day.

I am absolutely free and can choose the thoughts I want, the thoughts that are good for me. I look out for the beauty I want to have in my life, and thus my life transforms more each day into an ever more beautiful life. I attract more beauty into my life every day, and everything in my life becomes more amazing, wonderful, and beautiful.

Every day there are more beautiful things flowing into my life, and they fill me with enthusiasm and love. They give me a sense of infinite power and appreciation that I can transfer to everything I want. I have the absolute power to choose what is good for me. Even if I find myself in a state where I do not want to be, I am only a short step away from where I actually want to be. This path is not far, and this path is the path of love.

At the core of my being, I am absolutely invulnerable. I don't need to worry at all, for I am on an eternal life journey and am guided by my inner being, through emotions and inspirations, and can wonderfully rely on it. I don't need to start worrying about my life but can wonderfully relax into this loving guidance by my inner being. What feels good is good.

My inner being is always there for me. It loves and cherishes me, and I am increasingly entering this vibration of self-love day by day. I appreciate and love myself more and more and adore myself just as my inner being does. There is nothing more beautiful in this world than being in harmony and alignment with my inner being and feeling its power and love within me.

I can let myself fall into this wonderful guidance of my inner being, relax, and feel absolutely safe, because I know that I can freely choose my thoughts and feelings. This freedom is the foundation of my existence. For I can feel when a feeling is not good, that the thought leading to this feeling does not align with my inner being. Then I can lovingly and gently switch to a positive thought that aligns with my inner being, and thus my vibration increases, and I come into alignment with my inner being.

The steps I take can be chosen as I wish, but it is always about finding relief in thinking and choosing more positive, beautiful thoughts. I can live more and more in my vibrational reality, in my vortex, because everything I desire is already realized there. It is not a long way there, but just a small leap, and everything I want for my life is already realized there. My inner being is already living my desired life on the vibrational level, and I just need to align myself with my inner being. It is so beautiful, so pleasant, and so full of positive emotions when I am in alignment with my inner being, and we dance and play together in the vortex. It is simply wonderful and absolutely fulfilling.

When I am in this agreement and alignment with my inner being, I receive strength and endless inspiration from my inner being. Everything in my life transforms into what I wish for my life. I don't have to force it; I can simply draw it into my life through my dreams and positive vibrations.

• I'm so glad that I freed myself from my little food crisis today. I started writing downstream thoughts to calm myself and read something in the book "The Astonishing Power of Emotions." I also looked at the Abraham quotes in the forum on the topic of food. I was able to calm myself wonderfully on this subject, and that made me very happy. As a result, I've regained trust in my inner sense regarding food and nutrition. I'm now much more relaxed and cheerful and feel connected to a vast field of possibilities, which does me a lot of good.


• The new carpet gives me such a nice feeling of well-being. Whenever I'm in the living room, I enjoy it and feel completely secure and embraced in this beautiful universe.


• Before the skills group, I freshened up, showered, and beautified myself, and it did me so much good. It gave me a feeling of vitality again. I love standing under the warm shower, smelling the many lovely scents, and feeling the sense of security through the warm water. Afterwards, I always have such a nice feeling of refreshment and vitality, and I love this feeling.


• Today, in the skills group, we had the topic of fear. Actually, that's not a nice topic, but the whole skills group was so funny. Jokes were constantly made, and the whole atmosphere was so lively and beautiful. I kept laughing and was constantly delighted that everyone was so involved and shared their experiences. Everything was so harmonious and funny. It was a truly wonderful skills group that absolutely raised my vibration and filled me with a joyful feeling.

What a cool carpet! I find the space & stars theme has a soothing feeling for me. One of my favourite sweatshirts has blue space themed stars on it

"While listening to music, I played my favorite remix by Abraham, "it's easy to feel good," which always touches and uplifts me. When Abraham says "that the sun came up this morning and it wasn't on your to-do list and nobody that you know could ever keep that from happening" ,and that the planet spins in perfect harmony, I suddenly felt that connection with my inner being and everything that is, and the source. I felt that many forces are at work, making everything function so wonderfully and perfectly here on this world. It was such a beautiful, connected feeling that lasted the entire evening and truly fulfilled me."



Hello, spiritualcookie,

I wrote that between the years in this appreciation topic, and exactly this connection with the entire universe, this elevated, secure feeling, this connection with my inner being and everything that exists, I feel when I walk through the living room and see this carpet. So I have the feeling it is a kind of manifestation of me and also a sign of my inner being. You are absolutely right, this theme and this carpet give such a beautiful, calming, and secure feeling. Thank you for your appreciative and loving words

Ps: it was the first carpet we saw and we both fell in love with it.

I love imagining you singing and dancing Hula, while you cook! That sounds so happy and lovely!
So my pleasure, about the recipe.

I was a bit flabbergasted by the way to learn that, while we Germans are to pronounce Quinoa as "Kinooa", the English-speakers are to pronounce it as "Tschina" (as Germans pronounce "China")... WHY?

Yes, it was indeed quite similar to how you describe it.
In fact, I love making simple activities even more beautiful with dancing and singing, and Hawaiian music is just what makes me really happy at the moment.
(But actually, it is more like my inner being dances and sings through me when I am in vibrational harmony with the flow of well-being.)

Yes, the different pronunciations of people can indeed be interesting and sometimes funny.

While some people around me pronounce China as "schina," I also know some who say "kina."
It gets even more difficult when I consider that each part of Germany has a different dialect. If someone from abroad who has learned German comes to the area where my mother is from (Rheinhessen), where "rhoihessisch" is spoken, they won't understand a word, even though they have learned German. That's absolutely crazy.

As it should be Dancing within yourself, with your IB!

Your words made me remember my beloved croaked Omi... she was incredibly talented in understanding language and using it in the best ways (as Germany, "the country of poets and thinkers" demands). She told me that German "ch" gets spoken soft (as "ch" like in "Licht") before or after a soft vocal- which means, i and e. When there is a "hard" vocal as a, o and u, it gets pronounced hard- as "k". (So, "Schina" is never right, but "China". And- in Southern Germany, while "wrong", the pronounciation "Kina" is traditionally the way to go)

And I agree, all dialects in Germany are almost own languages! I got raised in Franconia with "Middelfrängisch" and Bavarian "Oberboarisch"(which both can drive a non-native crazy in no time) and now I'm surrounded by Oberpfälzisch which is not better at all. Nicolas Cage once bought a castle in almost my neighborhood and complained that all the people there would "bark" at him, all the time. There IS something to it!

Short Script

What am I looking forward to?

Our Trip to Segmüller


I'm already looking forward to great new carpets that are wonderful and make our apartment so cozy. A blue-gray dream, and a great trip with Lily and my mother, where we have great conversations and get along wonderfully. On our Segmüller trip, we also find many great new ideas for our shared apartment, a lamp for the bathroom, and my mother buys us a great new coffee table that also has blue elements.

• Today we went to the Segmüller furniture market and bought two new carpets: one with a planet motif for our living room and a blue one for our small guest bathroom. Last night I had already written a small script for our trip to Segmüller, and most of the things from this script came true, which makes me really happy. The carpet is truly a blue-grey dream; it looks so magical and makes our living room so cozy. I just love it. The drive and shopping were really pleasant, with cheerful conversations and a relaxed atmosphere. We were also able to gather a lot of inspiration for our shared apartment there, and a new tour is already planned, during which we will get a new coffee table and a new shelf for the kitchen. I am so grateful to my mother for supporting our shared apartment so wonderfully, and I'm happy that we are making our shared apartment more beautiful.

Such fun! I wish you both such pleasure and joy in creating your nest!

Hello PoE,
Thank you very much for the lovely wishes.
It's really a lot of fun to create an ever more beautiful home with my roommate, exchanging ideas, and watching how our shared apartment becomes more beautiful and amazing.

Yes, I never really thought about the grammatical basics, but it's true. Otherwise, one would say "schaos" instead of "kaos" for a German word like "Chaos." It's so funny and interesting to suddenly think about the grammar of a language in which you do everything automatically.

On one hand, it's very difficult for people learning German and coming here to deal with the dialects. On the other hand, it's also something wonderful. My girlfriend always enjoys it when my mother speaks "rhoihessisch", and it's funny because when the family comes, my mother automatically switches to her dialect. Of course, you can often hear from the accent where someone comes from, even if they don't speak a dialect. Only when I lived in North Rhine-Westphalia for a while did people tell me that I also have an accent.

The most noticeable thing about me is that I always say "gelle?" which can be translated into English as "right?" or "isn't it?"

• Today, on my way to the doctor, I already did a segment intending and had positive expectations that the conversations there would be fun and nice and that everyone would be kind to me. In the waiting room, it started when I sneezed loudly, and a woman wished me good health with a laugh. We both had to laugh at that. It was a really funny situation. When I was with the doctor, she was very cheerful, laughed a lot, and even gave me a tip on where we could eat in Seeheim tomorrow. I've already reserved a table for my father and myself.


• After the visit to the doctor, I went shopping in Seeheim with Johannes and Miri. The woman at the checkout was very nice and kind to everyone, and I really liked that. You could joke well with her, and she really had such a positive aura.


Friday, January 17:

• Today, I walked with my father to Seeheim to the Pizzeria Pulcinella, where I had Spaghetti Carbonara and my father had a pizza. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was very friendly. I am very glad that I received this tip from my family doctor. Afterwards, we walked back from Seeheim to Jugenheim to the Stangenberg Merck Museum. There we viewed an art exhibition and I bought a book about the Heiligenberg and Jugenheim. My father was very impressed by the pictures and the view from up there was also impressive. The people and artists there were very nice. We got a lot of inspiration and want to return with my mother in the spring because it is so beautiful up there. I was also very pleased that my father and I had such interesting and stimulating conversations, for example about Abraham and Christianity, about inspirations and the spiritual significance of the birthplace. It is so much fun to have conversations with my father because he has interesting ideas and is very open and interested in everything. I am glad that we are now doing such nice things together again and have such great plans. After that, we went to the café of the Schwind Bakery. My father enjoyed a piece of cake and a coffee, and I had a coffee. There was also a very nice man who told us a lot about Jugenheim and the surrounding villages. That was very interesting. I keep noticing how nice the people are here.


• Once again, I realized how strongly connected I feel to this place, Jugenheim. It is the place where I was born, even though I grew up in Darmstadt. I have a very strong connection to Jugenheim, I really enjoy taking walks and hikes here. I just love it. And I love living here.
