Brown, talking about how mental our Western society is and the play on word, consciously meant in both ways, stayed with me; to the point that I now see being too mental as a case for concern. (I did always have something with being nuts, so it’s … More Has the time come to blow away the need to understand?
Life plays with us in many interesting ways and often times, we don’t listen. Maybe we don’t want to, maybe we don’t know that we can. Maybe we don’t see what it is telling us. And so we fall again and again in the recurring patterns that get bigger and bigger. Our stories get entangled, … More Turning the gaze inwards
Every journey of self discovery starts and grows in introspection. Knowing who we are is not an idea or an answer we can find, it’s a felt experience, a realisation that we meet in the bursting silence of our heart. As we go towards that encounter, stripping ourselves of all the beliefs and automatism that … More News: Drop inside yourself. New Year Meditation Classes
Before we can touch the true myth that we have come to express, before we can encompass that deep dream that is living inside of, we need to do our cleaning work.

Have you seen how toddlers start to take their first steps? Once they are starting to hold their little bodies on their two legs, wiggling here and tho, they hold their hands tight to a fix point. And slowly, as they gain assurance, they become so enthralled by their own learning that soon enough, they … More The dreams that live inside of us: shifting from willpower to surrender-power
Will you anchor your truth in your head or in your heart? Will you anchor your life in spirit or in the world? Of course, the answer is both. How can a spiritual life be human or a human life spiritual without encompassing both the physical and the spiritual? Many years ago, when I was … More The paradox of the human spiritual life
You are intelligent, fast, smart and witty. Your eyes spark as you analyse and find gaps, see incoherences and connect dots to create solutions. Aren’t you? This is not who you are, this is what you have been forged to be and you so greatly excelled in. This is the imprint that society has … More Where does your great intelligence serve you?
Every pain and illness we carry in our body has a message for us and when the time is good, that message will make its way to us by itself or through the help of a healer and it will hit us with its truth sharply. We carry so much in our bodies and … More The story of the fallen angel: the pains we carry in our bodies
Once upon a time, there was a herd of sheep.

I talk a lot about the importance for … More Conversing with the shadow: The pain of our shadow work
The most difficult part in the process of shadow work is to actually see your own shadow. Once you have identified the shadow piece, the work is to then bring it to the light of awareness and forgiveness inside yourself. This is the second part of the post about the angry old woman who lives … More Conversing with your shadow: releasing the angry old woman
Do you know this angry old woman? She is sitting alone at the table, a pack of Marlboro reds next to her espresso cup. She is curved inside her newspaper and doesn’t smile. She doesn’t smile at anybody – not to me, not to you, not to the waitress who served her coffee, not to … More A story for shadow work: the angry old woman
My dear Friend, To wake up from a dream, you first need to know that you are asleep. We take our problems so seriously; our fears nested in our body obscur our conscious mind and we are trapped. The fear of suffering beyond the imaginable, keep us stuck in the pain and we settle for … More You are the great one: a letter to the transformers
