A seed is a good metaphor for ourselves. It needs water to wake up, come alive and start growing, then only soil and sunlight. That’s all. What an intelligence! Think about it…a tree can live and thrive in the same place, for hundreds and hundreds of years, grow huge, create an infinite amount of seeds for baby trees, close to the mother tree or far away spread by animals and birds, or the wind, depending on its biological strategy. An abundance that feeds others beyond its own species.
I’m totally impressed! I love baby sprouts and we see how they help us detox at our Olive retreats. We believe we have a lot to learn from this intelligence, an intelligence in the sense of self-sufficiency, self-knowledge and self-respect. An inbuilt acceptance and love towards oneness since the beginning. It’s like a biological self-confidence, an evident and silent cooperation with its environment. That’s what we can learn from them. If the amount of genes describe this intelligence, the rice grain has about 10 000 more genes than us, and trees can have more than 100 000 times more! Who is the intelligent species?
What can we learn from the seeds in the quest for our own health? A lot! Just like the seeds we can grow and expand or we can stay dormant. The life force in everything, Prana, gets something external to enhance the Prana within, and kick our energy and life force up to another level. We have to find what gives us that “kick”, that enhanced Prana. For the seeds we can see how easy it is when we soak them. That’s all they need – water – and you can literally watch them come alive and start growing. Find out how you need to be “soaked”!

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 💚🌿💜
