Life Transition

Transition always brings some unease and unrest, because during this times we can really feel the energy of change.

It’s the times in between the seasons, the time when we want to move into new beginnings or when life forces us into another direction.

When we haven’t learn to hold ourselves, to listen to ourselves and really feel what our body needs in order to stay in balance this times can really be challenging. We feel we loose something within, we feel something tears, we feel anxiety because we are aware that we cannot control what happens and what will come.

I know what I am speaking about because I am in this time. In a time of transition in my life, in the midst of the transition of the season and I feel unrest, I feel tired and my mind is racing. When I am in this state I am constantly questioning, wanting to fight against and hoping that it’s over soon. But then I realise what I have learned. That I learned to listen. Listen to the signs of my body, listen that there is a message that I have to get. We have to understand that our body is not our enemy, but our friend. When our body is in need it will ask us for help, just like a dear friend will. So I listen, I stop forcing and start caring. I stop pushing and start being gentle. When I normally feel I have to move, I maybe hear that this movement is not a tough workout but only a gentle walk barefoot in the grass where I stretch my spine, looking into the sun where the light touches my eyes gently bringing warmth into the body and mind. Maybe I think I need to eat a certain way that I always do but maybe my body is asking for something very simple and warm. Maybe I feel I have a lot of energy that I want to share with friends but what I truly need is some solitude and a book or a calming piece of music that is soothing my aura.

I dearly tell you befriend yourself with your own body. Listen to it, it always tells the truth. This is the first thing I teach my clients and the only thing I have to remind myself over and over again when I forget.

The other day when I realised again that I felt the rush of pushing I sat down to write. It helps me to get out my learnings and integrate them over and over again. Unlearning is a process. It does not happen over night. I does happen over the course of our whole life and needs great patience.

Be patient, be gentle with your dear friend. This is how a friend is with you.

I want to share my writings & integrations with you — it might inspire, touch you and support you too.

“When I have to…”

The pressure of I have to is there constantly.

When it’s there I disconnect from my heart,

I disconnect from the joy of doing.

When I have, I don’t want to.

Then it feels like a child being pressured by a parent to eat something it truly hates.

When I have to I close.

I loose connection.

I loose myself.

Now when I feel I have to, I try to let go.

I try to feel what I need and let go of the mind that tells me that I have to.
