We often practice soul work combined with body work, a great combo. For example walking in nature, while facing one’s illusions.
One person came to terms with the fact that she felt entitled to a much better life than she had – she wanted more. More money, more time, better friends, nicer husband…
🤔Dismantling the myth of entitlement became her practice. She took it into her life back home, and began observing when this “myth” was animated in her psyche – that is, when she became envious of what others had, bored, or angry, with in particular her husband whom she found didn’t express emotions. Se felt entitled to “change him”.
She unraveled one myth and realization about herself after another. This is an unpleasant and very tough work and a soul detox from the toxicity of our culture, but she bravely stuck to her commitment because she did not want to suffer from this inner demon any longer.
📝She had a pocket notebook and wrote down the myths of entitlement as soon as she felt the feelings of irritation, sadness, jealousy…
She learnt to catch herself faster and faster, people around her noticing her feelings of jealousy less and less.
☺️When she had a moment she meditated on them, observed their origin and questioned her entitlement. She asked questions like:
– when and who told me I should have more…
– when and who told me he should be different.
Often we see that it’s just an illusion, a myth told by our culture, something we want from seeing movies and publicity. Our “wants” unconsciously become “I deserve”, and we lose capability to see what we really want and if we are prepared to go for it, if the effort to get it is really worth it.
To find the root of the entitlement and to dissolve it is humbling and when we feel humble we often feel grateful and that, I believe, is an important ingredient in happiness.

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 💚🌿💜
