Day x+11: Yin&Yang

I would love to share with you my favorite Alan Watts’ speech (you can skip the chillstep music if you like). As someone from the West, his take on ancient Eastern philosophies is extraordinarily deep and mind opening. He helps me to see more and more how dualities exist within each other, that everything is…

Day x+10: Waves

I was watching the waves yesterday and was thinking, wow we are just like the waves! Each one of us have our ups and downs, dancing with our own curves, chasing after something, and eventually collapse on the shore. But when you zoom out, you start to see the patterns, the desires and sufferings that…

Day x+9: Dogs

I love dogs, so very very much! I love them, and I love to see that they love me too. I love when I pet them, feed them, take them for a walk, let them smell anything they like to smell, bring them a nice bone, sit close to them, give them Chinese massage, brush…

Day x+8: My spiritual teacher

I look at his top, his waving branches, shaking uncontrollably in the wind. He seems a bit fragile and can be easily broken by those playful birds. Then I look at his trunk, sturdy and robust, firmly rooted in Mother Earth. He looks like the calmest and coolest being I’ve ever known. I start to…

Day x+7: Paulo

Paulo is my angel. He is loving, caring, patient, tolerant and cuddly. Paulo surfed the waves of life with me. He laughed with me and held my hands when I cried. He says he knows my seasons. He remembers my sunny days when I could only see rains. Paulo waited for me, stayed with me,…

Day x+6: A love letter to depression

I am a professional in depression for about 10 years. I used to hate depression and blame her for all the sufferings I had. And then I met Muriel. She taught me a technique called Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping. She spent 3 days to write the text below for me. I love it…

Day x+5: Tree ceremony

Go out into natural space and find your favorite tree, your spiritual teacher of this ceremony. Keep in mind that within a radius of 10m, the terrain should be easily accessible (unlike picture above) Touching or holding the tree, turn around three times clockwise. Breathe in its scent, observe its bark and the leaves, listen…

Day x+4: Asia

Asia is beautiful, intelligent, kind, honest and humble. Her calm energy stabilizes the situation and brings wisdom to the group. She is patient with herself and with others. I feel I can always find her gentle smile when I feel unsure or nervous. She listens and asks further questions. She makes you want to tell…

Day x+3: Breathe

I start to take notice of my breath. I pay attention to how it feels inside my chest, where the lungs are. I associate this soothing feeling in my trachea and the expansion of my chest with becoming bigger, calmer and refreshed. I like to sense the subtle tinglings spreading down through my legs, in…

Day x+2: Trees

Why are trees so beautiful? Why do I feel so inspired when I am close to them, breathing in what they breathe out, sensing the subtle exchange of the magic particles in the air. Why do I feel so much love and generosity, when I am hugging them, as if I can hear their heartbeats…
