After experiencing 6 days of continuous daylight in the Northern part of Norway, I felt in a more organic manner the moments of the day. As we were a group, we really took advantage of the free time after the conference which, in our case, was quite extensive. 🙂 We were going to sleep at […]

My hair started to become grey when I was 24. A white hair here and there, not such a tragedy. It was easy to just pull them out. I didn’t give it too much importance, even if, somewhere in the back of my head, a thought started to take shape: “Oh f***k! I’m gonna get […]
More, faster, next. Do more, arrive faster, move to the next task / experience. But what about the breathing spaces in between? The empty space that actually allows us to take in the experience we are going through? Think of yesterday’s lunch, for example. When you bring it up in your memory, what exactly do […]

We are surrounded by a cloud of perfume. We feel it. Others feel it too. Today I chose the perfume of anger. It smells of rotten eggs. A friend approaches me and gently asks why I am wearing it. He says it is difficult for him to stay close because the smell is strong. I […]
Nobody’s life is perfect, but we are perfect beings right from the very beginning. We tend to confuse the two, or to make them the same: A failed relationship becomes proof that we are unworthy. A disappointment becomes evidence that we are inadequate. A wound becomes our identity. This confusion is one of the deepest […]

Have you ever wondered why (or how) you give something to someone? It could be something you bought, something you give away, a helping hand, a listening ear, a service you make to someone, etc. What is the intention behind that gesture? I have noticed a few: It makes me feel good about myself. I […]

We tend to forget what being a child means. We take it in a pejorative way but, if we really look, we are missing the point. Being a child is about being present. In your own body, mind, emotions, environment. As a child, everything happens “here and now”. There is no “yesterday” or “tomorrow”. Being […]
About a week ago, a sound started out of the blue: “pew… pew… pew..”. Continuously. I didn’t mind it, as I remembered it from recent years. I was sure it was a night bird, like an owl. A few nights after it started, my husband asked me about it, but he concluded that it is […]
We hear this quite often nowadays. But what does it really mean?… Imagine you are a kid, you fell and you have bruised your arm. As soon as you get up, you hear your mom in your head: “Don’t go there! You’re going to hurt yourself!” And, of course, you did exactly that. And you.ve […]
I have just realized what makes me incredibly pissed about breaking things or miss-using them (the Sun at my birth was in Aries, so I manage to get really … inflamed from inside out :)). Initially, I thought it was my attachment to things, but it’s not that. It’s the feeling that creation is not […]

Of course, there are some components to play with, but the outcome is fully our responsibility. And this responsibility is a heavy burden to carry… until we manage to transform it into a crown. Patience, compassion, unconditional love (towards ourselves) are the base ingredients for this alchemical painting, that is our life. Is not pretty […]

Light is all around us. We barely notice it as is part of our lives. Is “something” that allows us to see, to distinguish shapes, colors, textures, darkness. We see it as part of the scenery, the natural flow of life. If we look closely though, we notice that is made up of a lot […]
What is the first thought that comes to your mind when you wake up? I have noticed that the more aware you become of that first thought that comes to your mind the moment you wake up, the more chances you have of living your whole day in awareness. About 20 years ago, somebody asked […]

I have a goal: to go on Mars and show that it can be done. Scenario 1: All my life I prepare for it, I attend all the conferences there are about the topic, I become an astronaut, I know space shuttles inside-out, I am part of a team that goes to Mars, and I […]

“It’s just business” – a famous (incomplete) phrase which led to many misconceptions related to business. Sometimes, we also like to use it, because it makes us feel detached from our own creation. But business… is you. You are the creator of what you do and this also changes the surrounding environment. You cannot do […]

The body is a complex and beautiful decoding machine. When your eyes gaze at something, a feeling emerges inside your body. And what I have noticed is that feeling has nothing to do with what you gaze at, but has everything to do with who you are at that exact moment: you see what you […]

One of the astrologers I have consulted was telling me that she loves providing astrological services for the whole family because that is where she sees all the connections fitting perfectly: if she sees in the mom’s chart that she is authoritarian with her child, she sees in the child’s chart that he needs a […]

I was reading for the 5th time (I think) one of the books dear to my heart – “The secret book of Jeshua, as revealed by the memory of time”, written by Daniel Meurois. As with any living book, each time it’s being read, new meanings emerge and a wider view develops. This time, what […]

I was looking at a flowering plum tree today and the multitude of bees humming next to it, when a thought presented itself to me. I realized that we’ve spent soooooo much time practicing seeing the ugly, the lies, the mischief and all the things that don’t “flow” around us and in others. We’ve practiced […]

Creators of realities
