Is coconut really good for you?
No, I am not looking for “nutritional facts” here. From that point of view I could give you a whole list of arguments why it is a superfood. In fact, it’s been one of my “holy cows” ever since I got trained in Real Food Nutrition and Metabolic Typing (2012). While I often put people […]
The masks you did not even know you were wearing
Per definition, the unconscious is not conscious to us. Something that is not conscious is something that is not visible. It is our shadow and can only be revealed to us through the mirror of other people or circumstances. It’s usually what triggers us in others, but does not seem to resonate with us at […]
You cannot save someone who needs to drown – but you can save yourself from going down with them
There is a tendency I have observed in myself, in people I love, in clients and in the world in general, and that is the tendency of the Feminine trying to drag the Masculine out of its toxic state of unconsciousness into the light. I am not necessarily talking about women trying to drag men […]
Love, Freedom & Trust
Just like love is only love if it is unconditional, trust is only trust if it is unconditional. It cannot be tied to a specific outcome, or else it is not trust. I cannot say to the Universe: “If you truly love me, I trust you will make me a millionaire, make this or that […]
The Need for Love and Connection
Tony Robbins outlines the 6 human needs at the basis of everything we do. One of them is the need for Love & Connection. What follows are my reflections on this particular need and how it impacts our relationships with ourselves, others and even food and body.The need for Love and Connection is a need […]
Who is your support team?
Making a change in your diet or lifestyle is a personal decision, but it definitely gets easier if you feel supported by your surroundings, especially by the people close to you. On the other hand, being surrounded by people who constantly put obstacles in your way might make it very hard or even impossible for you to reach […]
The healing power of a pet
Pets can play a very big role in our healing process, because they help us to slow down and allow us to both give love and to receive it. Having a cat on your knees for example, forces you to sit still and to do nothing else but be with her and caress her. Hearing […]
How to deal with triggers: avoidance or confrontation?
You probably have people or situations in your life that trigger uncomfortable feelings in you. Feelings such as not being good, strong, beautiful, valuable… enough, being “too much”, too intense, too needy, too complicated…, the fear of being abandoned, powerless… Feelings that reactivate one or several of the classical childhood wounds: the wound of abandonment, […]
Feel it – Deal it – Heal it
The Fertile Path is paved with feelings. A hugely important skill to learn if you want to take that path is thus to feel your feelings. That sounds so obvious, yet most of us are highly effective at doing everything we can to AVOID feeling our feelings. We eat, we don’t eat, we obsess about […]
Women, it’s time to evolve beyond Feminism!
There was a time, not too long ago, in our developed world, when a woman wasn’t allowed to do many things that were normal for a man. She wasn’t allowed to study, to work (apart from in the house), to have an opinion, to vote, to run a marathon or to wear trousers for example. […]
