Yesterday I wrote about how I lost trust and faith. I know perfectly why. It doesn’t happen often to me, but I know why when it happens – I haven’t been healthy! I have travelled for 3 weeks over Christmas, stayed with 6 different families, and I have let some of my daily routines go, like meditation. It was also the day I had to say goodbye to my youngest daughter to go back to school. Separations are always difficult and stressful for me.
Was the travelling worth it? Absolutely! All the beautiful people I met, all I learnt and saw, it’s been a great learning experience. But now it’s time to reflect, to get back to my routines and a more focused detox over 3 months. It is Kapha time, winter, perfect for all homey and inward energies.
Today I’m back to my food (more on that later) and to the most basic of all detoxes, for body and mind; breathing exercises: Pranayamas and meditation. It’s quick and easy. It prevents stress and simultaneously releases the already accumulated stress. Regular meditation leads to peace, happiness and fulfillment. There is no way I can be healthy, be productive and get the other coming detoxes done if I don’t get started with meditation and Pranayamas.

Naturopaths who deeply believe Natural Immunity is still the best, and therefore we work in defense of it.
Since 20+ years we have successfully been consultants in the natural health sector to support individuals and we are in particular working with entrepreneurs and professionals. Our mission is to defend natural health, the only one that really works so far. We mainly but not entirely use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, and only honest modern science.
Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies and (free) minds want. Our O• Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one as the rest often follow naturally. We divide our work in three parts: Body-Mind-Soul. To allow them all to detox and let go we work with energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or whatever you call the life force, it's the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease, toxicity, depression and traumas using our own method, reaching 96% success rate which is unheard of by others in our sector. Would you know of anyone with that result, let us know.
Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 (petro)chemically derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a good old body detox sooner or later.
My love for Ayurveda started in 1993 with Deepak Chopra and after a few turns in life I quit my job as a Nordic Brand Manager and BI strategist at the largest Nordic telecom operator and re-schooled in natural medicine. Besides Dr. Chopra I have studied Dr. Lad, Dr. Siva (Pune, India) and other prominent teachers in their field, but the real difference comes with a practiced. I added nutrition, Orthomolecular Medicine with Dr. Nielsen (USA/Spain) and herbalism.
Today we teach those whom want to continue our work and we love to dig down in etymology and the original (mainly Avestan, Pali and Sanskrit) scripts to understand the words fully and I fall in love with the concepts over and over again for every sutra. This love affair that created a few books (Amazon), presentations, essayes and many events and consultations, is still giving us Yang-Yin balance and inspiration. I guess with that we are recognizing the value of Dao De Ching 💚🌿💜
