A quick way to get rid of your stiffness and get your body awareness back, as when you where a child, is to get to know your muscles, bones, and organs allover again, and become aware of their existence. Feel them, by dedicating a few minutes a day to your body. It’s a way to meditate. In all my years of exploration I have not found anything that works better for most people than Yoga (done in silence and no disturbing scents). But any slow, silent and stretching movement could do the same. The point is to feel, every movement, every muscle – feel which ones are active and which ones are relaxing, and avoid any disturbance to that feeling. Most of our stiffness comes from traumas experienced in childhood before we had the capability of expressing them or understanding them. The trauma was easily ‘stuck’ in our bodies, with a lowered flow of humours and energy. Any insignificant happening could have blocked the body and most of those we aren’t even aware of. More on this here.
For a quick de-blocking of stiffness in the body, you can take away as much as possible of what is ‘censuring’ you from getting to know You, both your body and mind, i.e., to detox. That’s what teach at our retreats. Eat clean and healthy vegan food, get rid of toxic chemicals, etc, and for your mind, seek environments where you feel loved, not just tolerated. Change friends, partners, job, even family if you need to, but don’t stay in environments where it is required of you to like things you don’t like, or dislike things you don’t dislike, or to be someone you are not. You can always come back to those environments when you got most of You back and resist outer pressure or even understand and embrace the pressure. But remember where there is longterm pain there is no longterm gain. Equally there is not always longterm gain in short term pleasure.

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 💚🌿💜
