Thank you all in Telecommunications over the years! Thank you all the internet lovers, for making the market, and all the kids for showing us how to use it. It connects us, gives us a fantastic tool for networking and communication. It allows me to blog for you, and you for me. It allows us to read and learn, to teach and earn.
We can find like-minded, form movements, start petitions, change what needs to be changed, and know we are not alone, even if I sit in a village in the mountains, where everything looks like it has always done, where I can breath the air that is so clean that even the extinct Imperial Eagle can thrive here. Here, in the bar Troyano, with Juan’s cortado coffee which is to die for, I can be in the world, I can be with you. Soros knew the importance of Internet for democracy movements and set up networks behind the Berlin wall, connecting and informing people, which started the wave that made the it fall.
The Cisco slogan “Internet is going to change the way we work, live, play and learn”, echoes in my mind from the time when I worked in the Telecom industry. I was the Brand Manager for the largest mobile operator in the Nordic countries, and the representative in a forum led by Mona Sahlin, the Minister for Democracy and Integration of Sweden, then the most advanced telecom country in the world, with a market that wanted and adopted, with free-thinking entrepreneurs that developed and offered, and risk-takers that payed and invested.
The forum was trying to make women entrepreneurs open their eyes for the possibilities that Internet could offer. We did campaigns with funny pictures of Japanese eating Swedish knäckebröd and Swedes buying cool Sao Paulo hats. Today Cisco is one of the biggest companies in the world, with the analog technology long forgotten. Today it’s mostly women that start petitions, that sign them and use social media. Maybe Internet was the forum women needed to be better heard? No, it’s actually nothing new. Women have always been activists, but less risk-taking when violence is involved in the movements. So, is the typical activist a 50 year old woman? Yes, it looks like it.

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 💚🌿💜
