There is really only two ways to deal with something we don’t like: Either we change it or we change ourselves. If a job situation, a relationship or a bad habit of ours has reached a point where we dislike it so much that it steals energy from us, we have to do something to stop that draining of energy, the draining of life force, Prana. If we don’t, we might get manifestations in the physical body as pain, stiffness and illness.
A very common area of frustration we hear about at Olive Retreat, is their work. They feel trapped doing a job they don’t like but it pays the bills and gives safety. When we only see obstacles and that it’s impossible to get a new job, or maybe we’ve even tried it already, we really only have one option – to love it! At one point we might have liked our work; remember why. At one point we saw possibilities; remember what they were. At one point we liked the colleagues; remember what we liked about them.
It’s when we can observe – release (see previous blogs) that we can feel grateful, thankful and compassion. That’s when the situation shifts to generate energy instead of draining us of energy. When the frustration is gone, changes occur! And often much better ones than we could have imagined.

I'm a Naturopath since 20+ years and today we are consultants in the natural health sector to support entrepreneurs. Our mission is to defend Natural Immunity and Health, the only one that really works. We mainly but not only use Eastern philosophy such as Ayurveda, TCM, Yoga, Thai chi, Falun Gong, etc. Everyone can heal naturally, it's what bodies want. Our Method is based on physics, chemistry and biology with emphasis on the first one, working with the energy (Prana, Xi, Vitality, Spirit, Pneuma or other names for the same force mentioned in ancient texts) to heal on all levels, i.e. from chronic disease depression and traumas. Considering that we invented and dumped >120.000 petrochemical derived substances since 1945, of which many are very toxic, getting healthy will most likely include a 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 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 (USA/Spain) and herbalism. After teaching since 2005, I dig down in etymology and the original (mainly 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) many events and consultations, is still giving me Yang and inspiring 💚🌿💜
