The traffic light is green
What are we waiting for? Patience is known to be the highest spiritual discipline. Yes that is her. We can be patient to see with open eyes what life "puts in front of us". We can be patient with ourselves and our fellow human beings. We are allowed to have patience with our life. But what when the moment has come? Let's wait then...
Everything is new in May
Half a month has passed again. A very special one, May! The merry month, the month that makes everything new!? This is what Hermann Adam von Kamp wrote. May makes everything new, makes the soul fresh and free. Leave the house, come out! Wind a bouquet! Sunshine shines all around, fragrant fields and groves flaunt: birdsong, horns sound along the forest blossom, forest splendor, new...
Welcome to May
May brings us a new wind of "awakening". We want a change, something is allowed to change and we feel the urge to do so. It's the feeling that we want to shake off something that weighs too heavily. So much in us and in the world. "Wherever you look...
peace in the heart
Easter is traditionally a celebration of peace. Easter marches, appeals, sermons and people who have dedicated themselves to peace always draw our attention to what our greatest good is. So we were allowed to remember it very consciously the last few days. Also the Jap Ji contains a wonderful verse (28): Patience is our path, modesty our dress, meditation our daily action, awareness...
The art of listening
Yogi Bhajan taught the art of listening and communication as the basis of our existence. We often view communication as just what we say and what is said in an external communication. That's an aspect, a very important one yes...
Courageous humility
When we start observing from our pure and deep being (which we can be in whenever we want), we learn to see life as it actually is. Pure, loving, reflective, even challenging and sometimes supposedly difficult. Everything around purity is colored by our identity, our thoughts, beliefs and our personality. If...
Time to unfold
January has flown by, the days are getting lighter, winter keeps coming and we face the first chances of the year. This month we will be challenged to stand up for ourselves, our commitments, our values and who we really are. The challenge will be staying with us when we face the push, the pull, or...
A masterful 2018
2018 represents a year of championship - 2+0+1+8=11. 11 is a master number, a number that connects us to infinity and opens up all the possibilities we could wish for. The year gives us an energy boost that we can use for our own development. We are allowed to embark on a transition and the last three years, all the...
The upgrade in December
December of each year is a month to reflect on the year and look inward. What have I learned? What was I allowed to experience? What has changed and what hasn't? Where has it gone for me? The year 2017 was a year with many ups and downs. A year full of moments that were eventful, instructive, exciting and joyful at the same time...
Life is a journey
Life is a journey. Step by step we follow a path that fills us with surprises again and again. Yes, we are conditioned to want to control, plan, and set goals. But as the saying goes - God laughs at plans. We find it difficult to relinquish control and have experiences that are beyond our control...
