💕OMMIJ Community Update — September 2025

Dear beloved tribe,

We know many of you are waiting. Waiting for clarity, for news, for the moment our circle can open again. We feel that waiting too — in our bones, in our hearts, in the rhythm of every day here at Be Free.

Life has asked us, for now, to pause. Not as an ending, but as a breath. And we want to speak to you in this pause — not with cold facts or empty words, but from the same place we always meet: heart to heart.

As you know, these last months have brought challenges that none of us ever wished for. They have tested not only our work, but also our patience, our trust, and our faith. Yet through it all, we have held one certainty: that the medicine we once shared together cannot be taken away. It lives within you. It lives within us. It lives in the soil of this land, and in the songs that still echo through its stones.

We understand that for many of you, the waiting is not easy. You have asked when retreats may begin again. You have wondered how long this chapter will last. We hear you. 🙏 And while we cannot yet give fixed answers, we can promise this: every time there is something new, something true, we will share it with you. You will not be left in silence.

In recent days, our legal team has reminded us of something important: the light of truth always moves slowly, but it moves surely. Step by step, clarity is returning. Even within the careful voices of our three lawyers — all independent, all deeply experienced — there is now a shared sense that this case is gently moving toward closure. Nothing can be declared before its time, yet this unanimity gives us quiet confidence that the tide is turning.

Until then, our hands are not idle. Be Free remains alive as a sanctuary for private gatherings, families, and circles who feel called to return in new ways. And we remain in service — not only through the work of retreats, but through every letter we write, every word we share, every prayer we whisper with you in mind.

Beloved ones, may you feel this message as a reminder: you are not forgotten. You are not alone. The same Spirit that once brought you to OMMIJ still walks beside you now.

May you carry OMMIJ/Be Free not only as a place on the map, but as a sanctuary inside your own heart. May this pause be not an absence, but a breathing space — a reminder that life unfolds in spirals, not in straight lines. And may love itself be the compass that guides you, until we meet again in the circle.

With patience, trust, and endless love,

❤️🕉️🎆🙏💖🥰

✨ A Word Before the Third and final Post ✨
by Ramon Om-Mij

Dear one,

Before you step into this last piece, I just want to share something from my heart.
This is the third text I’ve written and shared with you lately — and for me, it feels like much more than “just three posts.”

Three has always held a special meaning. In our retreats we sit together in three ceremonies: one to open, one to walk, one to return. It’s the same with life itself — birth, living, and passing on. Even in every breath — the inhale, the pause, the exhale — three completes the circle.

So for me, this third writing feels like that return. A closing, but also an opening. Not the end of something, but the wholeness of it.

My wish is that, if you read all three, you don’t just see words — but a mirror, a lantern, maybe even a little remembrance of yourself. And perhaps, that this last one leaves you with even more awe than the first two. 🌿✨



✨ The Dreamer Who Forgets ✨

There is an eye behind your eyes
that never blinks.
It was watching when you were born,
and it will be watching when you die.
It is watching now —
as you read these words,
as you shift in your chair,
as your lungs rise and fall
in a rhythm older than time.

We call ourselves “I.”
We say:
I am hungry.
I am tired.
I am broken.
But the one who says “I” is not the one who is.

The Witness never hungers,
never tires,
never breaks.
It only watches,
as the dream unfolds.

And oh, what a dream it is.
The spilled coffee on the counter,
the baby crying at 3 a.m.,
the quarrel that leaves you shaking,
the kiss that makes your chest explode —
all of it,
every fragment,
the Witness absorbs
like an ocean accepts rain.

You think you are the wave.
But you are the sea,
pretending for a while
to have a name.



Look closely.
You laugh — but who is laughing?
You cry — but who is crying?
Even as your tears fall,
something in you is still,
untouched,
a mirror that cannot be stained.

It is there in the hospital room,
when the doctor says “there’s nothing more we can do.”
It is there at the wedding,
when vows are trembling like birds in the throat.
It is there in the supermarket aisle,
as you forget what you came in for.
It is there in the silence
after a slammed door.

Everywhere.
Always.
Behind the mask.
Behind the storm.
Behind the story of you.



The paradox?
You are both the actor and the audience.
The wound and the one who bleeds.
The dream and the dreamer.
You curse life for its cruelty,
yet it is your own hand
holding both the knife and the healing balm.

And still,
you keep searching —
scrolling through your days
like someone flipping pages
in a book they’ve already read,
hoping the ending will change.

But the Witness smiles.
It has seen you chase shadows before.
It has seen you break,
and break again,
and swear this time you are finished —
only to rise,
to stumble,
to dance again.



Yes, you will fall in love.
Yes, you will lose.
Yes, you will hold your child and swear eternity fits in their tiny fist.
Yes, you will bury the ones you cannot imagine living without.

And through it all,
there is that unblinking eye.
Not cold,
not distant,
but so intimate
it has been breathing your breath
longer than you have had lungs.



Here is the secret:
You are not inside life.
Life is inside you.

You are not moving through time.
Time is moving through you.

And when you die —
listen carefully now —
you will not “end.”
You will awaken,
as if from a long, impossible dream,
and laugh at the smallness
of everything you once clung to.

And maybe, just maybe,
you will choose to dream again.



So what do we do with this knowing?
Do we abandon our stories?
Do we stop working,
stop loving,
stop fighting for what matters?

No.
We live.
But we live differently.
We stop confusing the mask for the face.
We stop confusing the riverbank
for the river itself.

We learn to hold joy
without fear of its loss.
We learn to hold grief
without drowning in its tide.
We learn to forgive —
not because it is noble,
but because we see
there is nothing to forgive.
The dream was never meant to punish.
It was meant to open.



And love…
Ah, love.
Not the kind that clings,
not the kind that bargains,
but the love that spills everywhere
because there is no border left.

That love is the Witness itself,
disguised as you,
disguised as me,
disguised as this very moment
in which you are reading these words.

And if you listen closely,
you will hear it whisper,
straight through the marrow of your being:

You were never lost.
You were never broken.
You were never less than everything.

Wake up, dreamer.
The mirror is clear.
The ocean is rising.
The Witness is you.
And you…
are infinite. 🌌✨

25/08/2025

✨ The Song Beneath All Things ✨

Once, before words were born,
there was a silence so vast
it carried every song that would ever be sung.
In that silence, you and I were already here —
seeds of breath,
waiting for the wind.

Life, they tell us, is a straight road.
Birth at one end, death at the other.
But those who have sat in the circle,
who have closed their eyes
and drunk from the cup of the Mother,
know the secret:
it is not a road.
It is a spiral.
It is a river.
It is a heartbeat that never began
and will never end.

We come to Earth forgetting,
wrapped in skin,
clothed in names.
We chase shadows,
we build castles of sand,
we fall in love,
we break,
we heal,
we break again.
We call this “living.”
But beneath it all,
the truth is simple:
we are not learning life,
we are remembering it.

Pain?
Yes.
It will find you.
Loss?
Always.
But even grief is a teacher.
Even despair carries a lantern.
Even in the deepest night,
a whisper remains —
the whisper of the soul that says:
“I was never lost.”

Joy?
Ah, joy is not something you find.
It is what bursts through the cracks
when you stop holding so tightly.
It is the laughter of your child,
the hand of a stranger,
the scent of rain on dry soil.
It is the echo of eternity
pretending, just for a moment,
to be small enough to fit in your chest.

And love…
love is the great trick of the universe.
For we think it comes and goes,
that it belongs to one face, one name,
but in truth it has no owner.
It is the ocean we are all swimming in.
We do not fall into it —
we rise into it.

Mother Ayahuasca knows this.
She shows us the masks we wear,
and then she laughs,
reminding us that the masks were paper all along.
She cracks the shell,
so the bird of truth can fly out.
Sometimes we call it a “trip,”
sometimes a “vision,”
but really it is only the soul,
taking off her shoes,
stretching her wings,
and saying:
“Welcome home.”

This, dear one, is why OMMIJ exists.
Not to give you something you don’t have,
but to hand you the mirror
you were always afraid to look into.
Not to teach you a new song,
but to remind you of the one
you have been humming since the stars were born.

So when you ask, “What is life?”
we smile.
Life is the wound and the healer,
the question and the answer,
the storm and the rainbow.
It is the Mother’s gaze
in every sunrise,
the Father’s strength
in every mountain,
the child’s laughter
in every tear.

Life is you.
Life is me.
Life is OMMIJ.

And always,
always,
Life is Love. 🌿✨

💖🙌🕉️🙏

🌿 OMMIJ Community Update — From the Heart 🌿

Dear friends,

For more than a decade, OMMIJ has been a home for transformation. In Holland and in Spain, thousands of you have walked through our doors, and in ceremony found not only healing — but yourselves.

For many, the time here has been life-changing. For some, it has been life-saving. Together, at Be Free, we have shared moments where the veil lifted and people remembered who they truly are. This sanctuary has held the tears, the songs, the prayers, and the breakthroughs of so many souls from around the world. It is not just a location — it is a vessel of memory, a temple of remembrance, a sacred ground where countless stories of awakening are forever woven into its walls.

And now, as many of you have already heard, OMMIJ must pause its retreats in both Holland and Spain for the time being. This is not an ending — only a pause — but we know it may take time before our retreats can continue in their full form.

We also know that many of you have booked and paid for ceremonies or retreats, or purchased vouchers. Please know:
✨ In the coming weeks, every one of you will receive your official voucher, valid until the end of 2030.
✨ Your place in this circle will always remain.

💫 Meanwhile, Be Free remains open 💫

While OMMIJ retreats are paused, Be Free — the sacred home so many of you know in Spain — is still here. Its gates remain open, ready to welcome those who feel called to return in another way.

We now offer Be Free as a venue for private group rentals:

Former participants who wish to reconnect and return to this land together.

Families and friends seeking a reunion in a place that breathes peace and presence.

Facilitators and organizers who feel called to bring their own retreats, workshops, yoga, breathwork, or gatherings here.

This space is available only as a full private rental — not per person, not per room — but always for one group or one organizer on invoice. In this way, the energy of the place remains whole and intact, and the gatherings that happen here keep their intimacy and strength.

🌍 A Call to Co-Create 🌍

We believe this pause is also an invitation — a chance to imagine together how this place can continue to serve. Many of you carry dreams, projects, or circles of your own. Perhaps Be Free can hold them. Perhaps this land, which has already witnessed so much healing, can now become a backdrop for new ways of coming together.

If you feel an idea stirring, or if your heart tells you this is the time to return — with friends, with family, or with your own community — we invite you to reach out.

📩 For any questions, thoughts, or proposals, please write to: backoffice@om-mij.nl

✨ A Blessing for All Who Read This ✨

Wherever you are, may you remember that the medicine you once touched here is not gone — it is alive within you.
May you carry Be Free not only as a place on the map, but as a sanctuary inside your own heart.
And may this pause be not a loss, but a breathing space — a reminder that our journeys are always unfolding, even in stillness.

With deep gratitude, trust, and love,
The OMMIJ & Be Free Team

🌿 To All Who Walk This Path With Us — A Clarification From the Heart

Once upon a time, in a land where whispers ran faster than truth, the guardians of shadow descended upon a place of peace.
They did not come to listen, nor to learn — but to stage a play. They laid out boxes as props, arranged bottles like actors upon a stage, stacked herbs into little pyramids as though preparing a feast not for spirit, but for spectacle. A picture was taken. A phrase was spoken. And with that, a tale was born — not from truth, but from theatre.

Soon the chorus began: “a lot of Ritalin,” “11 liters,” “7 kilos.”
Numbers rose like phantoms, multiplied by scribes who never questioned their origin, who carved them into headlines as if into stone.

But hear now the other side of the tale:
🍃 The so-called “lot” of Ritalin was no more than ten strips of fifteen pills — a legal prescription for one who worked here.
🍃 The “11 liters” of Ayahuasca was, in truth, scarcely half that amount — 4.5 liters.
🍃 The “7 kilos” of Mimosa was, in reality, no more than 2.5.
🍃 The Harmala, purchased in bulk, was placed beside Mimosa as if to blur the lines between them.

Empty boxes were lined up like soldiers in formation.
Packets of 100 grams were mocked for containing only what they could hold.
And a black-haired “specialist” was nodded toward, her authority conjured not by wisdom, but by agreement of those who sought the image, not the truth.

Thus the scene was staged. And the world’s press — instead of pausing, instead of asking — simply copied the script, passing illusion as fact.

And even had there been bottles of Kambo???, or other sacred plants not named on any list of prohibitions, still it would not have been crime. Not to hold, not to use, not to guide with them. Yet in the hands of dramatists, even the lawful becomes cloaked in suspicion.

This is how illusions take root.
This is how shadows grow.

But we, as a circle, do not answer shadow with shadow.
We answer with light. With truth.

🌿 None of these substances, in the forms or the quantities named, are illegal. Not their presence, not their use, not their facilitation within ceremony. This is no belief — it is law, affirmed by courts in lands where truth still carries weight.

🌍 And to those who placed trust in us through their bookings — whether it was a small €275 retreat in Holland, a group retreat in Spain, or another ceremony elsewhere — when you walked with us, you also agreed, as our Terms & Conditions state, that in circumstances beyond control, ceremonies may be canceled and fulfilled instead by vouchers.

We honor that fully. And more:
Every booking already made will be safeguarded. Every voucher will be issued, and each one will hold double its original value, valid until the end of 2030.

If the road ahead allows, we will seek to fulfill these bonds in the same country where you first booked — even doubling the number of days you were originally granted.
And if this is not possible, we will fulfill it in another way: whether in Costa Rica, Peru, Brazil, or another place where the medicine is openly embraced, or by finding fair arrangements that reflect the value already given.

In whatever way, across whatever land, our bond with you will be kept alive.

Because OMMIJ has never been bound to a single place, nor to a single hour.
It has always been about a circle of souls, choosing again and again to walk together — through shadow and through light.

And as for the noise… you may have heard it.
A bitter echo, a restless cry, a figure shouting into the void — answering itself, weaving its own applause, longing for a stage. This is not dialogue. It is theatre still.

But remember this: noise never lasts.
What endures, always, is truth — even when it speaks in whispers. 🌿

Translation for anyone that wants it. Here’s a clear English translation and summary of the article titled:

“Spanish Justice Clarifies That Ayahuasca Is Not Controlled or Banned in Spain and Orders Its Return: A Historic Ruling That Sets Legal Precedent”

By Sergio Sanz Navarro



✅ Summary:

On July 10, 2025, the High Court of Justice of Madrid (TSJM) issued a historic ruling affirming that ayahuasca is not illegal in Spain. This decision is the clearest and highest-level judicial statement to date confirming that ayahuasca is neither banned nor classified as a controlled substance in Spain.

⚖️ Key Highlights:
• Ayahuasca has been present in Spain since 1987, often used in spiritual or therapeutic retreats. Over the years, around 50 legal cases related to its importation or use have arisen. All have ended in either dismissal or acquittal.
• Previous rulings came from lower courts or provincial courts (like Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga). One notable ruling in Málaga stated:
“Ayahuasca, as a plant preparation, is not subject to national or international control as a psychotropic, narcotic, or prohibited drug.”
• Therefore, ayahuasca cannot be considered a criminal drug under Article 368 of the Spanish Penal Code.



🏛️ Details of the Madrid High Court Ruling:
• The case reached the TSJM after the Madrid Provincial Court acquitted a person for importing ayahuasca. The Public Prosecutor appealed, but the TSJM firmly rejected the appeal, upholding the acquittal.
• The court consisted of five judges, making it second only to the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court in authority.
• Defense lawyer Francisco Azorín Ortega shared the ruling and confirmed the court’s clarity in declaring that:
Ayahuasca is not on the list of controlled substances, neither nationally nor internationally.
• The court also criticized the prosecution’s basis, which relied on an expert from the National Institute of Toxicology who mistakenly claimed ayahuasca was a controlled substance.
• The judges emphasized:
“The National Institute of Toxicology does not have the authority to determine which substances are legally controlled — that is a legal, not technical, question.”



🧠 Legal Importance:

This is now a landmark ruling setting jurisprudence in Spain, offering legal clarity and protection to those using or importing ayahuasca for spiritual or therapeutic purposes.



We keep you posted!

A Heartfelt Message to Our Beloved OMMIJ Community

Dear friends, family, and cherished members of our OMMIJ tribe,

We stand before you today with humility, openness, and a profound sense of responsibility. We know recent events may have brought uncertainty, concern, or even distress to many of you who have trusted and supported us over these last 14 years. From the depth of our hearts, we sincerely apologize for any confusion, inconvenience, or disappointment this situation has caused.

As many are aware, we have become the target of a single individual whose deliberate false accusations have created disruption and chaos—not only for us as a community but also for the sacred and healing spaces we’ve tirelessly built together. This individual, whose motives lie far from truth, love, and healing, is currently involved in multiple active criminal court cases, facing allegations of more than eight serious criminal offenses—offenses which, under the law, carry potential imprisonment sentences totaling between 6 and 8 years or more. Additionally, four official reports have been filed with the Guardia Civil detailing his actions. He is also facing another criminal court case involving two separate offenses filed by another party, dating from February 2025. We will ensure that these sobering facts are clearly and undeniably brought to light in due time.

We deeply wish we could speak openly about all details today, but out of respect for the ongoing investigation and following clear guidance from our esteemed legal team—including leading experts from the Ayahuasca Defence Team at ICEERS—we must remain patient and allow justice its due process.

Yet we say with full conviction: OMMIJ has never engaged in activities involving illegal substances or practices. Throughout the past 14 years, our work has always been, and continues to be, deeply rooted in integrity, transparency, compassion, and the highest ethical standards.

We are confident that, soon enough, truth and justice will prevail, revealing the full scope of deception and manipulation that has affected our beloved community. Until that moment arrives, we kindly ask for your continued trust, patience, and understanding.

To those who find themselves inadvertently impacted by this situation—be it through scheduling, confusion, or emotional distress—please accept our heartfelt apologies. Rest assured, we are fully committed to making it right and will personally ensure that each of you feels supported, heard, and cared for once normality is restored.

Thank you, beloved OMMIJ family, for your unwavering love, understanding, and resilience in these challenging times. Your faith strengthens our resolve. Together, we will rise from this experience stronger, clearer, and more deeply connected than ever before.

In love, unity, and deep gratitude,

The OMMIJ Team 🌿💛

25/07/2025

Beloved OMMIJ Family,

Today we come to you with open hearts, transparency, and deep gratitude for your trust and patience. As many of you may already know, OMMIJ is currently navigating through an unprecedented situation—one that has drawn attention from multiple directions, some with intentions rooted far from love and understanding.

Last Friday, we received a visit from the Guardia Civil at our retreat center in Spain. This was the result of ongoing false accusations made against us by a Dutch individual determined to disrupt the harmony and healing we so deeply cherish and cultivate within our community. After the visit from the Guardia Civil, and despite the complexity of the legal landscape around plant-based medicines, we remain confident that our work does not involve any illegal substances, a view we share with our legal team and which we hope will be confirmed in due course through the appropriate judicial channels.

However, until the judicial process fully clarifies the situation — and with a resolution expected soon — we have decided, out of responsibility and in close coordination with our legal team, to temporarily pause our retreats in both Spain and Holland. This pause, adopted as a precautionary measure, aims to ensure the continuity of our sacred work within a secure and legally sound framework.

We are supported by the best lawyers of the Ayahuasca Defense Team of ICEERS and multiple lawyers beyond them, who are diligently working to secure a positive outcome. The future looks bright, but we must acknowledge that we are still under investigation. At this stage, our operational and financial capacity is temporarily conditioned by the ongoing proceedings, and although we face certain temporary operational restrictions, we remain confident that full normality will be restored once the case is formally resolved.

We deeply understand and share the disappointment that many of you might feel in reading these words, and we embrace this moment together as an opportunity for collective trust, resilience, and hope. As challenging as this period might seem, we genuinely believe this is part of a profound shift unfolding within the greater Ayahuasca community—one that promises to lead us toward clearer, safer, and fully recognized legal pathways.

We want to reassure you, our beloved tribe, that OMMIJ is fully committed and actively engaged in ensuring our retreats will resume as soon as clarity and peace are restored through the court’s final ruling. Until then, we hold space for patience, growth, and unity.

Thank you, from the depths of our hearts, for your understanding, your unwavering support, and your presence with us on this transformative journey. Together, we await the dawn of a beautiful new chapter—one filled with renewed strength, clarity, and purpose.

With endless love and gratitude,
The OMMIJ Team 🌿💛

NB: Today, as soon as we received clarity and approval from our legal team, we immediately acted to communicate openly and transparently with you all. Due to the rapid unfolding of events and necessary legal restrictions on our communications, we deeply regret that we were unable to inform our internal teams, including our back office, in advance. Consequently, some bookings recently made might overlap unintentionally with the timing of this announcement, possibly causing inconvenience or confusion. We sincerely apologize for any challenges or inappropriate situations you may find yourselves in due to these circumstances. Please rest assured, our intentions remain pure, guided by love, respect, and care for each member of our community.

In due time, and as permitted by the ongoing legal proceedings, we will share further details and personal insights regarding the individual behind these disruptive actions. We wish to emphasize that we fully intend to hold this person accountable—not only legally and financially, but also ethically and reputationally—for the harm, defamation, manipulation, and distress caused to our team, our participants, and the sacred work we carry forward. We stand firm in our values and our responsibility to protect the integrity of our community.

November Rain. ~Valencia Spain~

November, 2024. The air is heavy with the echoes of nature’s ferocity, and the land bears witness to a torrent of water that swept through the province of Valencia, Spain, leaving in its wake loss, mourning, and the raw reminder of life’s impermanence. To those souls who have been carried by the flood’s embrace, we bow in reverence. To those who remain, we find ourselves in the stillness, reflecting on the fragile, fleeting nature of our existence.

This November, we are called to remember: nothing lasts forever. The rains will cease, the waters will recede, and yet the marks they leave upon the earth—and within us—will endure. In their force, they remind us of the universal law that life is not ours to control, but rather to surrender to. The paths we walk, the loves we hold, and even the losses we endure are written in the stars long before we take our first breath.

Like the lyrics of “November Rain” by Guns N' Roses, life is a dance between the light and the shadows, between holding on and letting go.

"When I look into your eyes, I can see a love restrained," Axl Rose sings. How often do we restrain our own love, fearing the inevitable change of hearts or the forces beyond our control? And yet, even as "nothing lasts forever," there is profound beauty in the fleeting. For it is in these moments—raw and transient—that we feel the pulse of existence most deeply.

The rains in Spain remind us of this same lesson. They remind us of the power we do not possess, and the humility we must cultivate. Nature does not ask our permission; it moves with a force that strips away illusions of permanence, leaving us bare and vulnerable. And in that vulnerability, there is an invitation: surrender. Surrender to the flow of life, to the wisdom of the universe, to the idea that what has passed, though painful, is not without purpose.

To surrender does not mean to give up—it means to trust. To trust that the waters that rise will also fall. To trust that the pain that aches within us will also fade. To trust that even in the coldest November rain, there is the promise of light breaking through the clouds.

"I know it's hard to keep an open heart," but perhaps it is in these moments of darkness that our hearts can break open wider, to hold not only our own pain but the shared grief of others. The rains have taken, yes, but they have also connected us to one another in our humanity.

And as the lyrics say, "Everybody needs somebody." In the face of loss, we find that we are not alone. Our fears may subside, but the shadows remain, whispering of the love that was and the love that still is.

Let this November be a moment of reckoning, not with fear, but with the truth of our shared existence: we are all walking our paths, and though we may stumble, though the rains may come, we will find a way. "Never mind the darkness, we still can find a way."

For those grieving, let the water cleanse you. For those lost, let the flood carry you home. And for those of us who remain, let us remember to hold our candles high, even in the cold November rain.

For nothing lasts forever—not the rain, not the pain, not even the shadows. But love—restrained or free—remains the thread that binds us, weaving us into the fabric of the eternal.

And so, we bow to life, to love, to loss, and to surrender, for these are the universal truths. These are the gifts of November, and they are yours to carry, not just now, but always.

❤️
-X Ramon

Since 2011 it is the home for thousands of like- and openminded people and the go-to-place for everyone who wants to experience safe, therapeutic Plant Medicine ceremonies that are proven to unfold the participants' personal and spiritual potential and bring true healing.

You might have the feeling of not being at ease with yourself. You’re struggling with yourself as well as with your relationship, you’ve got problems at your work or you might suffer from one of the many other discomforts of life, with which a lot of people are being confronted on a daily base.

Occasionally everybody is being confronted with difficulties and problems but fortunately these are normally fading away after a short while. But sometimes it seems that all those problems are interwoven with each other and become a part of your personality. It seems that the practical everyday difficulties are having a common origin somewhere in the depths of your subconsciousness.

In that case the origin could be caused by unprocessed experiences from your past, such as a traumatic experience during your youth, negative thoughts or problematic relationships. Perhaps you have always been feeling frightened or insecure without an apparent reason. In the course of the years you consequently might be going to suffer from physical or psychological complaints, which could cause a multiplier effect on each other.
