Think about it! If you have ever given, have you felt poor after? If you have, you have probably given money…”only” money. Money is what comes to our mind when asked to give, but there is so much more to give; clothes, shoes, toys, food, things and more things, all which we don’t use or need. Check your storage spaces, there is a lot, isn’t there? 🙂
But there is more that we can give. Not only things. We can give encouragement, support, help, time, care, love. Why is it that we are so greedy with nice words? Why is it so hard to express the nice things about someone (and ourselves)? Why do we feel that if we say that a person is good, we need to say that it is sometimes also bad, as if we need to even the good out with the bad, pin-point the bad, so he or she wont get too excited and encouraged.
I recommend you to forget the bad. If you see, and mention the good in someone you create that in that person. That goes for yourself as well. If you see and say the bad about him or her you will get the bad back. We have both in us. Of course we all have both, but the point is to bring out the good. That’s what we do when we encourage, we see the good. Sometimes we really have to look hard and try to understand, but it is there. Try it! You’ll see that you can find something good in every person.
At our Olive Retreats we ask if our guests have life goals. One guest answered in a sarcastic way that the three lines provided was to little to write all his goals up. I only have one goal for myself nowadays; to be kind. If I’m kinder today than yesterday, and if I can be kinder tomorrow than today, I’m cool. That’s all I want. I also had long lists of life goals before. They all became less important with time, when life slapped me in my face and I saw te truth. I don’t even remember all I wanted and why. Now I’m sure that if I can be kind, to everyone and everything (including myself, and that doesn’t mean I say yes to everything, it can be kinder to say no sometimes!) I’m at peace, I get Prana, and all I want is what I will get, and need.

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 💚🌿💜
