I already wrote a bit about Mindfulness on some previous blogs, and over the next few weeks I will go a bit deeper. Firstly, I do believe that we all can and should be more aware in our day to day life to get out of the ‘stress treadmill’ we often find ourselves in. Secondly,

During an evening event us, the audience, were asked to write something that makes us “be bold”. Now that one had me thinking.

Can you relate to the “flow of life” when thinking of the Sun Salutation?! I recently went through some rounds of Sun Salutation, just going with the flow and experiencing the sensations. And while the Sun Salutation is always a nice flow, a great way to move the whole body it is as well a good

I recently came across the “flow mindfulness workbook” and one article got my immediate attention, it was about “a busy head” (written by Otje van der Lelij).

Before you already cringe by just reading ‘mindfulness’ – replace it with ‘awareness’ and keep on reading! After all do we not all want to be more aware, in the moment, less stressed but calmer?

I recently attended a workshop on “How to improvise your life”. Originally this type of workshop was catered towards actors, yet the trainer took it further, made participants look into improvising in the normal day-to-day life.

Have you ever paid attention to how quickly we are categorizing people based on what they do as a profession, or on their lifestyle? Without any further or deeper thoughts we put a “stamp” on a person. Like “Oh he / she is XYZ that`s why…” And yes, surprisingly often that person even seems to fit

We are coming towards the end of summer and often changes come along, too. Children may start new schools, leave their home for studies, start working; this all may be close to home, further away or even overseas. Some brush such changes off easily, are joyful and excited, others may be a little bit more fearful
I admit right from the start that I have not tried the game but the sheer thought of what is behind the new hype of “Pokemon Go” almost infuriates me. And I may be alone here, but that is ok! Aren’t most of us complaining about too much attention and time spend on electronic devices?
Often mudras are put into connection with Yoga, sitting in meditation. But it is more to them as they can as well help to bring more “meaning to our awareness and into our expressions” (Mudras of India, book) and help our body and mind to heal. I tend to use them at times when I

A friend recently mentioned this saying to me. I found that this phrase has been used by many but the origin goes long time back to Rabbi Hillel. It is so simple and so true – and so universal. If we are really honest, don’t we often put things of and/or ‘blame’ others or the circumstances for

Granola bars – often overly sweet when bought and filled with ingredients that don’t please everybody.

I tried several granola bars and
