Reflections about 2023 🎉
Another year slowly comes to it’s end. A year full of learning. Becoming a yoga and meditation teacher, studying about systemic therapy, working at psychiatric hospitals. A year full of family, friendship and love. Finding a new home in Aachen and continuing on my path with dancing, mantra singing, acro yoga… I‘m super grateful for the experiences and lessons. Looking forward to guiding more silent meditation retreats at next year and about everything else that will come on my path.
Have a lovely, calm Christmas everyone! 🎄

Balancing between being humbled and inspired by life ✨
I won’t deny it. The recent changes in my life have been and still are challenging. Adapting to Germany and it’s bureaucracy, all the rules, settling in a new city, finding new friends. Working in a psychiatric hospital with strict hierarchies, rigid procedures and earning not even minimum salary. taught me that inspiration couldn’t exist without humbleness, the one needs the other. So, now seems to be a phase of being humbled by life. Experience how it’s like to be human with all the challenges that go along with it. Blessing me with even more compassion for my clients, who struggle with limited energy and financial means just like me. To observe the transitory nature of everything and my reaction and resistance to this. 💛
Do you recognize challenging phases like this? How have you dealt with them? 🤗

200hr Hatha yoga teacher training 🧘‍♀️
Wow how grateful I am for the past month I spent in Belgium training to be a yoga teacher! This group of beautiful souls, this community, yoga family. The amazing food prepared with love every day. The music, the chanting, and dancing. Sitting around the fireplace. Watching winter turn into spring. Holding each others hands in difficult moments. I feel nourished, loved and connected. Thank you once again, universe! 🙏

Volunteering in Greece 💛
In November I volunteered for .thessaloniki for 4 weeks. An exhausting challenging experience, yet opening my heart and letting me experience community and teamwork. We provided around 50-60 people in need (focussed on homeless people on the move) with a hot meal and essential items like clothes, sleeping bags, and hygiene items.
Wave is the only NGO in Thessaloniki providing support for undocumented men. Without this community centre these people would have nowhere to go during the cold winter days. Everyone deserves a hot meal a day, Wave makes it possible. If you’re still looking for a charity to support for Christmas you can find the donatation link on their Instagram. Every cent is used to support people in need 🙏

Update: 1 week after my 🧘‍♀️
One week ago, I came back from my at Dhammacari Meditation Centre in Rottenburg, Germany. After a few days of struggling with all the stimuli of the outside world I wasn't used to anymore, I slowly get ground under my feet again and adapt to 'normal life'.
Living with my parents at the moment adds an additional challenge. I still get triggered by them, like I used to, but somehow I can see the situation with more accepting, compassionate eyes. There is more awareness of what is at the moment inside and outside myself and I can see everything more as it is, even my mind‘s projections about how it should be.
The intensive mindfulness training gave me the tools to come back to the present moment even and especially when I'm struggling with emotions or get triggered by someone or something. I'm very grateful for this addition to my path and this tool I can use to ‚come back home‘ (to my body/the present moment) in every situation.

About my Vipassana Retreat 🙏
Vipassana Meditation came back and back on my path, people I met told me about it and it's power. So, it was time to experience it myself. I found this small, personal meditation centre in Bavaria, Germany and participated in the basic meditation retreat the past few days.
13 days of meditating all day every day with short breaks according to the Buddhist Mahasi Sayadaw tradition (walking and sitting meditation). I went through a lot of pain, both emotional and physical. Came across many parts of myself, healed past trauma, many times thought 'why am I doing this to myself?'. But at the end, I knew why.
It was more intense, life-changing, and tough than I had imagined. Now I feel liberated, light, free, as if I can counter any suffering in the real world and be with everything that is. I feel like I just had 10 years of therapy in 13 days. On the photo I'm sitting at the train station, just missed my train and waited 1,5 hours for the next train in the cold and rain. And still, I couldn't be more content, just sitting there, being connected with myself and observing everything.
Let's see how long this state will last, but I'm enjoying it in the meantime, while having even more space to share love and goodness with the outside world. Have you ever done (or thought of doing) an intensive meditation retreat like this? Let me know about your experience! 🤗

'You are crazy - totally out of your mind!' 🤯
This reaction I directly or indirectly got from many people when telling them that I quit my job, my room and sold most of my stuff to go and travel for a while, to experience life and to let my intuition guide me.
After getting triggered by that at first I came to think: Maybe they're right. Maybe I am out of my mind and more listening to my soul than ever. Maybe that's not a bad thing. It can be challenging sometimes, of course, but mostly it feels like I'm finally living what I've dreamt of for a long time - like I'm finally back on track. ‚It takes courage to walk your own path‘, someone said to me on the .
Do you recognise moments when you were 'out of your mind' and listened to your soul/intuition? 🤗

Spirituality is more than stones and energy 💫
Lately I've had a conversation with a friend about the public vision about spirituality. For some, it's some abstract weird thing with stones, crystals, only crazy people believe in and very far away from anything they experience in their daily life. While I believe that can be one aspect of spirituality, from my perspective spirituality is much more.
It is every aspect of our human experience. It is experiencing life at it's full spectrum with all the beautiful and challenging experiences and seeing them as a chance to develop ourselves. It is becoming more conscious and using experience, silence, movement, our senses, mirrors in other people (and other aspects of the human experience) to remember what we've always known - who we truly are.
I believe that even much of our political and societal issues are so intertwined with spirituality. That if we would only remember that we all used to be one (which even Einstein said btw and is in line with our science about the Big Bang) we would live in a more peaceful, caring, and sustainable world. I mean, who would throw plastic in our oceans while they're fully aware of what they're doing?
Let me know what you think. What is spirituality for you? 🤗

How to use your mind as a messenger? 🤯
In the process of getting distance from our thoughts and learning to observe them rather than getting our life dictated by them and merging with them is called . With several exercises and metaphors I help my clients to practice with this skill.
Often I realise after some time when practicing with delusion (and I also struggled with that myself) that clients tend to judge their mind for the sticky thoughts it produces. This is totally understandable, your mind makes you suffer if you're still merged with its' stories.
However, a more healthy approach to deal with your mind might be to slowly shift to seeing it as a messenger. I mean, it wants you to survive after all, it may often go too far in that, but maybe sometimes it has a point in warning you. Maybe defusion is more about getting the appropriate distance from your mind's stories to be able to see it as a messenger. You can listen to its' advice, but you remain the one behind the steering wheel, taking the decision what you wanna do with its' advice.
What do you think? How do you relate to your mind? 🤗

Grounding part 4 - nature 🌱
Walking in nature is one of my favourite ways of grounding. As I grew up in Germany, my favourite nature place is the European forest. It feels like home. While walking I activate all my senses. I breathe the fresh air, I feel how my feet touch the ground, I feel the wind on my skin.
Sometimes I look at trees and feel how present they are, how their roots are deeply grounded in the earth. Sometimes I even hug a tree. When talking with religious people on the Camino, I often said that nature is my church. It is one of the places where I can easily feel how I am connected to everything that is.
Even if you're not that spiritual nature can have a relaxing impact on the nervous system and movement plus breathing fresh air is super healthy! What is your favourite way of being in nature?

How to deal with your 'climate depression'? 🌎
While there are many challenges in our society right now like the ongoing pandemic and the war in Ukraine or the worries about energy supplies, there is one societal challenge which many people of especially my generation think still does not get the attention it deserves: climate change. As millennials, we are very concerned about the development of the climate crisis in the past few years and the lack of action our government took so far to prevent it from getting worse and worse. You might guess already, that for some of us this is quite a sensitive topic and can easily lead to feelings of overwhelm and depression. We are so concerned and feel that we don’t have enough power to change anything. Maybe we have already tried a few things (like going to demonstrations, trying to raise awareness within our social circles, or adapt our personal behaviour), but it did not seem to have much of an impact. So how to deal with these feelings of ‘climate depression’?

Grounding part 3 - Meditation 🧘‍♂️
For 3 years daily silent meditation has been part of my routines now. Like yoga, it's a tool to ground and reconnect with myself I can take everywhere I go and I don't need anything else for except for myself. While meditation can be in so many things like walking, music, movement, daily activities,... I've found that for me it's helpful to have a formal meditation routine, as a basis.
I mostly set my alarm for 20 minutes in the morning, sometimes in the evening, as well. Sometimes it may be 10 or even 5 is better than nothing. And then my goal is to just sit there in silence for the amount of time I've set and notice anything that comes up. If it's unease and a busy mind, that's what it is. I get distracted by thoughts, notice it and come back to noticing my breath, my body, or the connection I feel around my heart center. This way, my meditation can't 'fail' (what I often hear from my clients).
Sometimes I feel the layers of peace, joy, love and the holy within myself. Sometimes I feel the pain of loneliness, sadness or whatever emotions were triggered during the day and make space for it, give the hurt parts what they need. I imagine that I give my lonely child a hug. Whatever processes are going on, meditation is also a time for me to make space for them and the emotions that want to be felt.
What about you? What's your favourite way of meditation? 🤗

What are your ‚Big 5 for life‘? ✨
This is a concept of by . When you are on a safari in Africa they consider the safari to have been very successful when you have seen the big 5 most important animals. If you have seen 4 it has been pretty good and 3 is average. Your own big 5 for life are the 5 things you want to have done at the end of your life in order to be able to consider your life as successful. They are connected to your self-defined meaning of life.
For me, the meaning of life right now is very broadly to contribute to a better world. This can be picking up trash when I'm hiking or a warm conversation with a stranger, it can be donating money, or volunteering. There are so many ways how I can do this.
My big 5 for life:
Welt bereisen (travelling the world): getting inspired, broadening my perspective; a few months per year
Entwicklung (personal development): learning and growing; apprenticeships, books, experiences, jobs
Inspiration sein (being inspiration to others): helping others to raise their consciousness and to walk their path of life; thereby contributing to a new earth
Selbstfürsorge (self-care): Meditation, yoga, hiking, dancing, friends and family, making music, journalling
Eigene Familie (own family): safe base, experiencing the world anew through children's eyes, doing life in teamwork with my partner, growing together
In German the acronym would be WEISE, which means wise. I love it!
Have you ever thought about your big 5 for life? How does it look like for you? And if you can help me with mine, of course you're welcome to reach out to me! 🤗

Grounding part 2 - Yoga 🧘‍♂️
Movement meditation. For three years it's part of my daily morning routine. Even if it's just 10 minutes of stretching sometimes, having this routine for me makes a big difference. I start the days doing something just for myself and my body before I help others.
It's a habit of connecting to myself to be able to truly connect to others. I feel into my body and what it needs. Sometimes I do a tutorial by on YouTube. Sometimes I prefer to follow my own flow and listen to which movement my body craves.
The best part is I can do yoga everywhere, I don't need anything for it - not even a yoga matt. Just myself and a floor. Yoga is so many things. For me it's especially caring for my body, and connecting to myself and my body through movement, breathing, and meditating.
Is yoga part of your routines yet? What do you love about it? 🤗

“Is it a good museum day?” 🕌
This question of by I found quite inspirational. What if every day of our life would be cataloged? Our feelings, the people we interact with, the things we spend time with? And what if at the end of our life a museum would be built, in which everyone could see the things we did in life. Everything which had been cataloged would be on exhibition.
If we spend 80% of our time with a job, we don’t like – 80% of the museum would be filled with those bad memories. In the museum we would be able to see pictures, notes, quotes and video-clips, which would show different scenes of unhappy moments. If we spend 80 % of our time with a job that fulfills us, makes us happy, helps other people and has a positive impact on the world, we would see all this in the museum.
Think about your life as a museum. How would you feel walking through it after you die? Would you be satisfied with what you see? Would you be proud or ashamed? Would you want other people to see everything? Or would you want to hide a lot of exhibits? You can ask yourself every night whether it as been a good museum day. 🤗

Dancing through life 💃🏻
Dancing gives me a feeling of freedom and connection. I can get so much into the flow with the music and my dancing partner that I forget everything around me and I'm just in the moment. For me dancing has many metaphors for 'real life', too.
Like in real life, also when I'm dancing I can be struggling with staying connected to myself while connecting with others. It's still a challenge to fully trust my dancing partners and surrender to their leading and the music. To let go of any control. I love how dancing trains me in that, while improving my perception of my body.
Dancing is playing. My inner child gets so happy dancing that I can feel my energy charging. No matter how tired I'm always happy I went. The lightness of dancing affects the rest of my life. I take life a bit less seriously (and as a German control freak that's quite a challenge). Dancing is a language without words. It's a whole different way of connecting to new people I have never spoken to.
What do you love about dancing? 🤗

Challenges of not having a home. 🏡
After walking the Camino de Santiago, I came back to not having a home. This summer I'm living at my parents and friends places, moving around a lot. While it's good to see everyone and spend time together, it can get quite exhausting and I realise that this is not a state for forever.
Sometimes I can miss having a home, a place I feel settled, I can leave my stuff and not move it all the time. A place I can invite my friends to for dinner. Somehow I trust that one day I will find such a place again, when the time is right. When I have travelled enough and feel ready to settle (physically). Inshallah (Arabic for 'If God wills', my new motto).
Meanwhile every time I feel unsettled I see it as an invitation to settle even more within myself. To go inward and reconnect to myself. To find this feeling of home within.
What about you? What does home mean for you? 🤗

Walking the walk of the world 💐
Last week I walked the 4 Days Marches in Nijmegen, the Dutch city I used to live for the past 7 years to top off my time here. I walked 40km per day for 3 days (1 day was cancelled due to the heat).
As I had never walked 40km in a day before, it was challenging both physically and mentally. With more than 45000 participants and even more supporters at the side of the street it was also challenging for the introvert in me. Quite a contrast to the . A big hiking party with lots of music and a great atmosphere.
After being overwhelmed at first, I found my way of dealing with the challenges using my 4 jokers: ear plugs to be in silence, headphones to listen to my own music, pain killers, and talking to strangers to distract myself. Overall I‘m really grateful for this experience of connecting to people completely outside of my bubble (military, older Dutchies, farmers) and thereby broadening my own perspective. I appreciate my body for mastering another challenge and overwinning my own limitations again! 💪
