Rhus toxicodendron to the rescue
Before I came to the United States, born and raised in Germany, my body never had been in contact with either poison oak, poison ivy, or sumac. When I had my first encounter with poison oak in this country, my body and immune system did not know what to do with it at all! The […]
EMERGENCE OF THE FEMININE
It is a time of incredible opposites, and the emergence of the feminine is growing to counteract the dominance of the masculine aspects on the planet. If we want a happy and healthy life for ourselves and everyone in the realm, humans, fauna, and flora, we need to follow the call to embrace the feminine […]
SELF-CARE
Adopting the concept of self-care means also to step up our nutritional body care, for ourselves and those we care for. Keeping it simple. By the grace of nature, food in its natural form is less stress-inducing on the body than highly processed foods, as tempting as they might be. Processed foods are a challenge […]
EMOTIONS
Yes, I talk plenty about emotions…and there are so many ways to understanding emotions: If at times we might decide that we put too much emphasis on one particular emotion, then we can create an equation: if we can reduce this emotion to “enough, present, but not too much”, then we can ask which other […]
THE 6 ZONES APPROACH
“Energy Balancing” is a modality I developed several years ago, and it has been an intrinsic part of my treatments, in person and long distance. It is now easier to explain with the addition of the model of a 6 zones approach, a body care treatment that assists the human body to come back into […]
MY AUNT’S FIRE CIDER
After the last post, I have been asked repeatedly for the recipe for my aunt’s “Fire Cider”. Well, here it is, it reflects clearly what was available in Germany in the earlier part of the 20th century. When you look up Fire Cider nowadays, you find recipes with ginger, turmeric, various fresh herbs, et al. […]
MY ANCESTORS
Today is the anniversary of my father’s birthday. He left this planet many, many years ago. I spent time reflecting on our relationship, and some thoughts came up that I like to share. I am a very private person, because of my own unusual life’s story, so this is quite an exception: while spending some time reminiscing what my family and ancestors […]
ANCESTRAL LINEAGES
ANCESTRAL LINEAGES We all have them, and I feel they can be teaching us so much! Even if we don’t know our biological parents, we may sense an affinity, or a subtle resonance with certain elements, places, people, and times. I recently talked with someone about this, who in her 40th decade finally got the, […]
MEDITATION
MEDITATION – is not necessarily a selective tool or goal-oriented exercise, although people label many concepts as meditation. And without a doubt, they have their place and provide much-needed value. However, meditation is not a means to an outcome, it is ultimately an all-encompassing lifestyle. It is a state of balance, full circle, vital balance, […]
THE QUANTUM LEVEL
Quantum…. it has become such a popular word. Well, 15 years ago it was not as much as it is today, I’d say ubiquitously so. 15 years ago I started to integrate my approach of “taking it to the Quantum Level”, and it was not that easy to explain. I basically reconfigured my practice of […]
