I had my initial exposure to Psychotherapy when I was in my early twenties and had recovered from a substance abuse addiction.

I knew then that I was going to be a Psychotherapist. I didn’t come back to it & start my studies till I was 35.

I had dropped out of high school with a substance addiction. I recall one of my last days, I was trying to open my locker with my car keys and someone next to me had to point it out. I was so vague I didn’t realise.

I was decked out in purple leather flares, a blond wig and a top hat. High as a 🪁

I left that afternoon and never looked back.

Flash forward getting clean, and discovering my spiritual self, I searched for how I could continue to grow.

I couldn’t believe how my exterior life improved when I began exploring my inner landscape with my therapist and attending self development and meditation classes.

FYI there is an entire universe of

I N N E R S E L F

that actually runs the show, not our minds.

The more I understood about myself, the better I did-

by either honouring what I needed & doing it on purpose or by deciding to do the opposite of the habits that didn’t support me.

I started the

M A K E C H O I C E S

in every moment I was in.

Conscious choices about what I said, did and thought.

This was quite a shock to the ppl around me. Because I wasn’t running off what was familiar just because it had always been that way.

I started to break out of the

P A T T E R N

O F

E X I S T E N C E

that I had adopted this far.

I began to break the matrix.

I woke up.

I became alive.

I copped a lot of push back & I still do today.

I speak my mind and I follow up experiences with explanations the majority of the time so folks know who I am, what I’m thinking & feeling, and what I’m doing.

I address the elephant in the room most days. I’m not concerned about pretending - I just need to call out what’s in the Field as best I can because that’s when I’m at peace.

Life has gotten a lot easier since then as I continue to develop my skill set.

If you’ve never explored who you are beyond your mind, I’ll tell you,

It changed

E V E R Y T H I N G

for me.

Have you experienced anything similar?

And if you’re here, you’ve broken out of the money matrix, so is the

next on your list?

Perfect, lovely post ... thank you for sharing your journey & wisdom here 🙏

A stunning period of the year has begun. The pressing heat made way for mildly cool air in the mornings and evenings, the light turns more golden by the day, the cicadas stopped their concerts, birds reclaim their place again little by little, winds aren't dominant, farmers haven't picked up their work yet ... silence & peace in the olives. Enjoy the moment 🙏🌿 https://video.nostr.build/5141c408ebeffc04429a9e0fd5899243f94371ff8285a9624f246362487f29ca.mp4

What a cool format that is ... very nice 🙏

The problem with this and such quotes is that people don't know what 'goodness' and 'the right thing' to do is. That's why the quote speaks to everyone and noone at the same time.

Everybody wants to be 'good' and thinks they are. Our mind is amazing at making stuff up and deceiving ouselves if we haven't found out and mastered how it really works. Through breathwork, meditation, yoga ... you name it.

So, these quotes are powerful only once we have done the inner work to find out where the 'light', 'truth', 'love', 'goodness' really is.

Marcus Aurelius very likely did that inner work with the means available during his time, with famous stoic teachers. This then is real freedom. Freedom from the inside that will keep you on track. You will feel it and know it deep inside. No morality necessary anymore.

Before that 'good' is just a word that everybody understands differently.

Good mornin' ☀️ Open office today with a mild summer breeze. Wanted to do this for a while ✌️

Fair enough 😉

Performing an activity where your sense organs are highly active and your mind 'distracted' with your natural surroundings is different though.

The reality of how you and your mind works reveals itself much more strongly when you are in silence with yourself, having reduced the activity of the sense organs to a minimum.

Once you master that kinda silence, the awareness it brings can be applied to any activity in life.

Great! I will test your app one of these days 🙏 ... I'm curious how it adds to the native Wim Hof method app where you can also do lots of things with the free Version.

🏔️ Connecting with Nature through the Wim Hof Method 🌊

One remarkable thing the Wim Hof Method stirs in me is that I increasingly feel the desire to connect with pure nature. Now, what does that mean?

You may know that slight feeling of eeriness when looking at deep moving waters or that tiny insecurity when darkness creeps up around you alone among the trees? You are sure there's nothing to worry about. But still, these little old conditioned anxieties, these unreasonable mind scenarios, they keep coming up and make you seek safety.

They are different for everyone, but these anxieties in the foreground are a sign for inner blockages that deprive us from expressing our power and creativity. What's more, they separate us from nature. They suggest, everything around us is potentially dangerous. Is it though?

When practicing the Wim Hof Method, and especially right after the breathing exercises, I can immediately feel a clarity emerging, a stronger awareness of presence in the moment. Anxieties are caringly pushed back to their rightful place, but do not control my actions and no longer dominate my state of being.

And so suddenly, the world view shifts. Eerie deep moving waters become fascinating, the darkness around reveals the beauty of trees casting soft moonlight shadows. I deeply appreciate what is, I want to touch the waters, I want to merge with the shadows, I feel that power. Instead of running away I want to connect with nature. I'm more aware of the present and should danger reveal itself, I have the confidence that I can properly react when it arises. But until then, I can enjoy beauty and connectedness. The powerful shift is from scenarios about potential threats around me to curiosity and beautiful opportunity everywhere.

There are countless great techniques and traditions that guide us to such shifts. But with regular practice, I find the Wim Hof Method to be particularly simple, accessible and effective.

"Being in harmony with nature is being in harmony with life itself." 🏔️

- Wim Hof

😉 In my experience, it's a powerful tool for inner freedom. To stay healthy on your own as best as possible, to unleash your inner powers, and to heighten mind and body awareness.
