For me it’s the opposite, how can you NOT stay friends, specially if there was love, friendship, kids and happy memories. That was my choice. If you loved someone you want him or her to be happy, and stay friends, wouldn’t you? Everything else is selfish and wrong for me. What’s the difference when it’s the ultimate separation; death? Why is it conventionally easier to accept the left one’s happiness after a separation if the separation is by death? If ‘the choice’ is the reason of all fights after divorces, when where the rules of the right and wrong choice made, and what is a real choice?
Our gliding apart wasn’t a choice either. He wasn’t happy, was that his choice not to be? I tried but it wasn’t up to me either, nor the kids, it was up to each one to find Prana (life). He couldn’t find happiness with me. Did he have a choice? I don’t think so. I even think he would have had more of a choice to die from smoking, drinking or living an unhealthy life. He had to find his happiness and peace, not me. He needed a change, and I was not the right person for him anymore. We had grown apart. Unlucky? Yes, maybe. It would have been beautiful to evolve and grow together, but it wasn’t for us. It was beyond us, subconscious us, or just not us.
It took three years, communication through mail, papers signed, houses sold, new ones bought. Slowly he was getting back to what we had been once we met, but so different. He had walked his way, a total different way than mine. It was as if when we decided to get divorced our two lives got separated in both time and space, like if we had been pulled by rubber bands apart, to where we were supposed to be. Swish! So quickly! We had tried to keep the relationship that took more energy than it gave. When we gave up, we all flew and we grew.
The only difference between us was that he saw the separation as a failure, something wrong. It made him sad and angry. I never saw it as wrong, I saw it as life. Sad? Yes, of course! Because dreams where gone, separation is always hard, at least for me, and it wasn’t only him, partly I had to separate from our kids, his family and friends. It was so tough, but also a fantastic learning and growth – by choice! And for that I’m hugely grateful, and I’m sorry for all the pain that had to be there.

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 💚🌿💜

Bu if you don’ know. like I don’ know if i want to say with or break off with my bf we’ve broken up with each other. and if i say with him i have security, i have friendship i have some one who is in love with me. But I lose my freedom, I have to make sacrifices. I can’t be myself fully. Yet I’m still stuck I know hes not the man i ant to be with or near the type of man. But for some reason i can’t let go (probably has to do with my mom passing this past march. )
