I might change the title to searching presence. Lately, I've been a lot in my head spinning around money, success, relationships, my lifestyle, and my choices. Being triggered by an environment mainly based on looks and typical success stories that don't leave much space for actual happiness created by ones true expression but contentment created… Continue reading Finding presence

Women are the source of life
We are the origin of life, closely connected to the source and the source itself. We carry the seeds of creating life, the physical ability, and mental strength to create something new, the origin of pure power and balancing force in the universe. That’s why men seek to control us. That’s why men fear women… Continue reading Women are the source of life
Women on fire
I am alive, and I am healthy. I have a job. I have food every day. I have a roof over my head wherever I go. I was blessed with education. I have clean water coming out of the tab. I can travel wherever I choose to. I have time and space to take care… Continue reading Women on fire
How do you breathe?
When was the last time you actually noticed your breath? Noticed how deep it flows? How fast it goes? If you breathe into the belly or into the chest? What does you breath touch inside of you? As I am starting my 200h breath work instructor teacher training, my practice of conscious breathing expands in… Continue reading How do you breathe?
Breath & Movement
In my classes, we tap into the power of our deepest breath. In nowadays society we barely ever get the chance to take a deep, relieving breath into the belly. Stress, pollution, noise, and an unbalanced lifestyle lead to a shallow breath coming from the chest, not the belly. When we are tensed up by stress,… Continue reading Breath & Movement
Where goes the sadness when it leaves?
And the darkness explodes, pours dark tar over a pure heart, slowing down my rhythm of life with an odor of ugly decay. Gives me that feeling I don’t want to feel, gives me that sensation I don’t want to sense, gives me that touch where I don’t want to be touched. And those claws… Continue reading Where goes the sadness when it leaves?
About inner dialogs
The inner dialog is what determines your level of happiness. A few years ago, the way I was talking to myself was more than destructive. I used to put my entire focus on the things I couldn’t do: not losing weight, not living a fulfilling relationship, not being able to travel, not leaving the life… Continue reading About inner dialogs
You‘re the creator
No one is going to come and set the world around exactly like you want it to be. No one will rescue from your own shadows as your heart ist filled with sadness and despair. No one will pull you out of the hole you managed to get yourself into. No one will get you… Continue reading You‘re the creator
Mini Trek to Australian Camp
We’ve just climbed up to Australian camp (2400 m) to go for a mini trek over the weekend to check out some beautiful retreat spaces up in the mountains. It’s quiet, so quiet, and the Fishtail + Annapurna peaks seem so so so close but I know, that this is a big illusion. What looks… Continue reading Mini Trek to Australian Camp
Steady practice
You’ve probably heard the saying: yoga is not about touching your toes, but about what you learn on the way down. Yep, I agree. What I am learning on the way down is that the breath is the bridge in between body and mind.Connecting the physical with the spiritual, joining muscles and nervous system, uniting… Continue reading Steady practice
Move
México - Nepal Moving from down to up, from the ocean to the mountains, from hot to cold reflects the polarities we are all dealing with everyday. Isn't it that what makes life so beautiful, the constant ups and downs, the tension in between the two, the experience of one holding allowing the other to… Continue reading Move

Childhood I was born in Germany, Fürth, on 08.08.1996, blessed with… Continue reading About me
Thoughts to ponder
Presence is my greatest drug. Not giving away power to too much or too little. Taste it, smell it, see it, sense it, touch it, perceive it, be the food, be the water, be the moment. See, fully, and be what you see, feel what you see, be the eye and the object, the skin… Continue reading Thoughts to ponder
Moving on
Life is all about going on. Going on with your duty, missions, dreams. Going on with what you have to do and with what you want to do. Going on with relationships, friendships, going on with your life. A big part of going on is letting go, in fact, it’s the same for me. Letting go… Continue reading Moving on
Finding myself
This part of my life is called: finding myself. I‘ve been preaching about society's dysfunctional patterns for a long time now. Some of you know my hate speeches about the 9to5 society, about jumping right into work after finishing school or university, about the necessary house, the big car, and the obligatory partner for life. … Continue reading Finding myself
About the breath
When was the last time you were really breathing? When did you take the time to feel, sense, and observe the lungs expanding when oxygen is flowing down your throat? When were you fully conscious with the simple act of breathing? When a child is born, the lungs inflate with the first breath taken. With… Continue reading About the breath
Where’s the love?
We are all just constantly busy hiding. Hiding emotions, hiding extra kilos, hiding little lies and big ones too. So busy covering our tracks of what is not „appropriate“, „trendy“, „normal“ or „ pretty“ due to society’s standards. I hide like… all the time. I find myself too emotional, too vulnerable, too weak. I consider… Continue reading Where’s the love?
Ferocious skin
Am I at home in this skin? Looking into sharp mirror splinters full of desire on lonely walls reflecting some of what I want to be, covering the ugly in my soul, facing the cold and hard light of another reality whilst catching a glimpse on something soft and warm running through my fingers as… Continue reading Ferocious skin
Freedom
Where is it, the freedom that is held so high in nowadays world? Isn’t it an illusion, settling in the gaps between work and sleep, doesn’t it linger in between words and thoughts, hidden behind intentions, agendas, and human needs? Isn’t it the silent conductor of the endless and purposeless play of life? Get rich,… Continue reading Freedom
About fasting
Now that we know what toxins are and how much we surround ourselves with them let's take a closer look into how to support our bodies into detoxing from chemicals, hormones, carcinogens, pesticides, and glyphosate our environment is contaminated with. As mentioned, humans and domestic animals are pretty much the only species on the planet… Continue reading About fasting
About toxins
It is a fact that humans (and domesticated animals) are pretty much the only species suffering from chronic disease. Allergies, diabetes, sleep difficulties, constipation, skin reactions, depression, and even cancer are something that is mainly found in human bodies and the ones living close to us, eating our food, and breathing our air. These diseases… Continue reading About toxins
Pure
Trying to create a life I don’t have to escape from. Trying to create an everlasting holiday. A never ending summer where pieces are held together by nothing more than light and water. Walking down the streets, feeling naked from within, no more hiding, no more hunting, no more wanting. Breaking the silence of your… Continue reading Pure
About sexism
Just recently, I got into a conversation with a woman, 40+, healing industry. We were chatting about God and the world when she asked me about the message I share here. Besides presenting a certain type of lifestyle, I have created a space to share my passions for travel&arts but mainly want to raise awareness… Continue reading About sexism
Die Freiheit atmen, das Leben aufnehmen, die Geräusch hören. Weite, die keine Grenzen kennt. Der Himmel, der irgendwo in der Ferne mit den Konturen des Graslandes verschwindet. Weiße Wolken, die sich harsch von roten Sand der Dünen absetzten. Unendlicher Sternenhimmel mit tausenden von Lichtern, fernen Welten, die die Lücken in der schwarzen Ewigkeit füllen. Flimmernde… Continue reading
Symphonie der Seelen
In der ewigen Stille zwischen zwei unendlichen Atemzügen liegt eine Melodie. In dem süßen Moment zwischen Ein- und Ausatmen liegt ein leiser, kaum hörbarer Ton. In dem Augenblick, in dem dein Körper pausiert liegt die Symphonie deiner Seele. Weiche, pulsierende Akzente umschreiben dich in der stillen Pause ohne das Rauschen der Luft, die deine Lungen… Continue reading Symphonie der Seelen
U.P.D.A.T.E
Hi everybody. Longtime no see. I feel like I owe you a short update about what's going on, especially looking at the fact that I really want this blog to come back to life. The last 1 1/2 years were tough, draining and hard like for everybody else out there I guess. Even if there… Continue reading U.P.D.A.T.E
Schatten der Vergangenheit
Wie auch die Kälte des böigen Windes kriecht uns die Geschichte dieses Ortes in die Knochen, kühlt unsere Herzen und sendet eiskalte Schauer über unsere Haut. Das salzige Blut und der brutale Tod, stille Verzweiflung und rasende Angst, nie ausgesprochene Worte und unerhörte Hilfeschreie: der lodernde Wahnsinn des Faschismus haftet diesem Ort an wie ein… Continue reading Schatten der Vergangenheit
Contradictory
This is me, last year, on top of the Hoba meteorite in the middle of the Namibian desert. It is the largest known intact meteorite with more than 60 tons and came down to earth around 80.000 years ago.Powerful shit, honestly.Experiences like this make we wonder, make me curious for more, make my mind travel… Continue reading Contradictory
Hairy women = less womenly?
A small article about the beauty of body hair and the terrible history of its removal. You get up in the morning. It’s a boringly normal morning. You go to school, university or work today. Because it’s a part of your daily routine you undress and after an hopefully very admiring look in the mirror… Continue reading Hairy women = less womenly?
2020
Englisch version below 🙂 Glück ist nichts, was man mit Worten, Waagen oder dem Meterstab messen kann. Es ist ein Moment, ein Wimpernschlag komplett im Augenblick, ein Geruch von Sonne und Salz, eine Berührung, sanft wie ein Schmetterlingsflügel auf der Haut, kaum spürbar und doch ein sehendes Verlangen nach mehr. Glück ist das Prickeln auf… Continue reading 2020
