Finding presence
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
Meditation sucks
A peaceful and quiet place. Maybe the beach, maybe a rooftop. The only sound comes from birds and the wind softly touching the palm trees. It's early in the morning and the sun is just about to rise, touching and caressing my skin with the first warm sunbeams making their way down to earth. The… Continue reading Meditation sucks
Breathe your fat of
As I wrote in one of my previous posts, I recently started my 200h breath work instructor training. Coming from a Pranayama background, I always knew the breath was kind of important. Kind of regulating the nervous system. Kind of key for a balanced, strong, and steady practice. One year ago, when I went through… Continue reading Breathe your fat of
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?

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
Steady practice

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
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
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
