About feeling safe and your first chakra
This Friday the 13th full moon has been illuminating a deep fear for me. The fear of not being safe. The fear of being violated. The fear of the unconscious Masculine. On Thursday I shared a randomly selected picture from the past and its story on my Facebook page. It’s been a moment in my […]
You can never run from yourself
Sometimes it feels like we just have to move places, to leave it all behind, to start all over again for our lives to completely change. And it’s true, certain plants will just never thrive, if they are not planted in the right soil or if they are not exposed to the right amount of […]
Is coconut really good for you?
No, I am not looking for “nutritional facts” here. From that point of view I could give you a whole list of arguments why it is a superfood. In fact, it’s been one of my “holy cows” ever since I got trained in Real Food Nutrition and Metabolic Typing (2012). While I often put people […]
Between Authenticity and Nonviolent communication
I am currently exploring a whole new way to deal with my inner truth in relating to others. There is nothing I value as much as truth and authenticity. Authenticity for me means that what I believe, think and feel is aligned with what I do and say. This often clashes with the rules of […]
The masks you did not even know you were wearing
Per definition, the unconscious is not conscious to us. Something that is not conscious is something that is not visible. It is our shadow and can only be revealed to us through the mirror of other people or circumstances. It’s usually what triggers us in others, but does not seem to resonate with us at […]
You cannot save someone who needs to drown – but you can save yourself from going down with them
There is a tendency I have observed in myself, in people I love, in clients and in the world in general, and that is the tendency of the Feminine trying to drag the Masculine out of its toxic state of unconsciousness into the light. I am not necessarily talking about women trying to drag men […]
Love, Freedom & Trust
Just like love is only love if it is unconditional, trust is only trust if it is unconditional. It cannot be tied to a specific outcome, or else it is not trust. I cannot say to the Universe: “If you truly love me, I trust you will make me a millionaire, make this or that […]
Cut the circuit – Rewire your brain
For 10 seconds… look around you and watch out for everything that is brown. Done it? Well now, tell me anything RED that you saw. Now for another 10 seconds, look around you and watch out for everything that is red. It is quite likely that you see more red now then during the first […]
The Need for Love and Connection
Tony Robbins outlines the 6 human needs at the basis of everything we do. One of them is the need for Love & Connection. What follows are my reflections on this particular need and how it impacts our relationships with ourselves, others and even food and body. The need for Love and Connection is a […]
Healthy arguing
What the way we discuss controversial topics tells us about ourselves and our immune system Have you noticed how otherwise rational people can get so absorbed in emotional arguments that they even lose it when it comes to the very values they claim to defend, namely tolerance, respect, compassion and love? Whether it’s about eating […]
