An apparent gap

A long time has passed between the last blog post and today's entry. Many people perceive this gap as a void, something that interrupts—something missing.

And in my experience, it's exactly the opposite, which is why I want to talk about it:

At the beginning of last year, I wanted to make my work in Vienna and my website available to the public. However, I became visibly "ill" on February 4, 2019, and have now been "on hiatus" until the end of October 2019.

Why do I write "fell ill" and "took a break"?

Society describes a process such as the one I went through as "illness." I describe this time as an intensive process of teaching, learning, and recovery. Recovery for body, soul, and spirit, when I had to, and was allowed to, take space and time to rethink my life and treat my body, soul, and spirit particularly well, to heal and recover.

And why didn't I "take a break," why was there no gap in my work as a mentor, coach, supervisor, and therapist? Because I researched more than ever, on myself, the people around me, how we can support our health in body, soul, and spirit. It involved a lot of work and enthusiasm! And I continued to transform myself.

What did I realize?

Nature is not an environment—we are nature. We are nourished, watered, warmed, carried, and shaped by it—a carrot, a piece of fruit... become "I."

What really counts are encounters, touches, commonalities that carry us through "beautiful" and "painful" experiences.

There are two processes involved in so-called illnesses—healing from the illness and recovering to complete health—to a now consciously aware state of being in harmony.

In the context of development, light and dark experiences are equally valuable and important. The so-called "dark" aspects, pain and suffering, are midwives of change—just as the "light" aspects nourish our longing for the essential, the real.

The shift from "I" to "we" is the solution to all the suffering that we humans create in and around us.

Genuine gratitude is part of the journey—a bright joy!

Thank you for your interest, your listening—your attentiveness.
