Hey there Reader. A few weeks ago, I was guiding a group of people through an inner journey. I usually stand as I speak. I also move my hands quite a bit, especially if there’s energy work involved, which makes me feel a bit ashamed. I’m afraid people will think I’m weird, in a bad way. One person in that group had their eyes open. It happens. But this time, I became self-conscious. They saw me move my hands. I concluded the meditation, and moved on to questions. I was explaining something to...

Photo by Daniele Levis Pelusi on Unsplash Time is never enough. The clock is ticking. The doing intensifies. You wish for more time. To do all the things you want/have/need to. Who would you be in more time? How would it feel to always have enough of it? What’s your relationship with time now? What would you like it to be?

"The judges award him no medal - not even a bronze. They say it's because he has no bibliography. A bibliography is a required part of the formal report. Adam knows the real reason. They think he stole. They can't believe a kid worked for months on an original idea, for no reason at all except the pleasure of looking until you see something". From The Overstory by Richard Powers The pleasure of looking. Looking at things with curiosity and wonder. Again. And again. And again. That's how...

Photo by Nik on Unsplash Hi there Reader, I’ve been thinking about our relationship with time. We create this impossible Jenga schedule of our days and move around pieces, trying to make the right choices so that the whole thing won’t collapse. The fear is immense. We stay up at night trying to figure our moves out, play out all possible scenarios in our head and make the most informed decisions. We’ve never learned to stop and ask ourselves: What do I need to put in place underneath this...

Hey there. I haven’t had Internet, nor cell reception, in my new house. It’s been 40+ days. Here are some thoughts. I’m nowhere near casual or zen when it comes to being disconnected from the world. But I’m curious about it. I equally love and detest the isolation involved. Of course, it’s impossible to do certain things anymore if you’re not online. Work, for instance. Well, work mainly. The rest somehow fall into place. There’s quiet. I read more. I watch old(er) films stored in hard...

"You will rarely outperform your self-image" - James Clear If you were to take a moment and look at yourself as if you're a fly on the wall, leaving all your usual judgments on the side, what would you see? What can you set aside for a minute that's been part of your self-image, something that's been causing insecurity and self-doubt? What can you notice instead? How does that change your self-image? Not to outperform yourself, but to feel more complete, kind and loving to yourself?...

Hi there Reader. What makes us, us? Is it the things we have, the people, or the environment we're surrounded by? Is it our body? Or our soul? If consciousness is subjective experience, what is it made of? And if we tap into a collective consciousness, what's the relationship? Perhaps it's not so much a question of what we are but of how we be. How do we occupy the space that we inadvertently are? Inside, around us and in between. Having said all that, thank you for being part of my space....

Hi there Reader. Today I’d like to address that part of you that has been judged for being: Too much Too loud Too talkative Too opinionated Too angry Too beautiful Too ugly Too afraid Too accomplished Too strong Too poor Too rich Too sensitive Too happy Too fat Too boring Too weird Too different You know which one is true for you. Can you see that part, or is it isolated somewhere far away? What are you telling yourself about it? To what lengths do you go to to prevent it from being noticed?...
