"Whatever you think you can or cannot do, you will be proved right."
Our thoughts have an incredible power over our lives. A thought preceded all of our decisions, actions, words, and feelings.
Thus our mind influences our daily behavior and as a consequence our habits are formed.
Healing our mind means understanding it and being able to guide it consciously. Through meditation and mindfulness you'll practice this in everyday life.
Get to know your mind
It starts the moment you open your eyes in the morning...
... are you aware of the thoughts you're starting your day with? How would you describe the relationship with your mind?
Friend or foe?
How do you talk to yourself? What do you think about yourself and others?
Our mind is often very wild and rushes from now to the past, and then suddenly worries about things that haven't even happened yet. With such a "monkey mind" we constantly loose a lot of focus, energy and inner peace.
Our thoughts are very powerful - they affect our behavior, our feelings and our lives to an enormous extent. It is therefore a priceless gift, when you begin to befriend your mind and bring more harmony to your psyche.
Learn to deal with troubling, negative, and recurring thought patterns.
Transform your thoughts and thus also transform YOU.
Ayurveda Psychology
Through the lense of Ayurveda, YOU are seen as the unique individual you actually are. An Ayurveda Psychology Session, will always be adapted, according to your personal mind constitution.
Like Ayurveda Medicine, it is a body-mind health system, that is thousands of years old and takes a holistic approach to your ailments. In doing so, we not only fight symptoms, but we go deeper, by truly getting to the causes and thus the roots of the experienced phenomenom.
Meditation
Meditation is probably the best known method to learn understanding and training our mind. Like the muscles of our body, our thoughts and feelings are trained through regular practice. Our body relaxes and our mind turns inward and therefore becomes clear and present.
Meditation is a state of being, which means - we perceive the now and thus practice pure acceptance, mindfulness, awareness, observation, concentration, deep introspection and contemplation.
With better organized thoughts & feelings, our life can be experienced with more awareness and attention and this brings us more peace and balance. Thus, through pure mental training, we can cultivate mental and physical health, general wellbeing, productivity and feelings of happiness.
There are many different types of formal practice that can be tailored to the practitioner and the desired goal.
I am happy to find the right form of meditation for YOU.
Mindfulness
We can wonderfully incorporate our mindfulness practice into our everyday life. Body, breath, thoughts, feelings, words and actions are carefully observed. We are present and completely neutral towards ourselves and the people we meet every day.
Through mindfulness practice we develop more awareness, presence, openness, patience, trust, compassion, love, discipline and perseverance.
We will also check how often you act in autopilot mode and what programmed thought patterns shape you.
Pranayama | Breathwork
Our breath is incredibly powerful and directly connected to our emotions, body and mind. When we are relaxed, we breathe deeply and calmly. With excitement, nervousness or fear, the breath immediately becomes faster and shallow. Accordingly, we can consciously use our breath to change our state.
Here we work with Pranayama (Sanskrit: Prana = life energy, Ayama = expansion, control, guidance), this describes breathing exercises that serve to guide our breath consciously and mindfully. We can use it, among other things, to connect body & mind, to let go of things, to purify ourselves, to energize, to calm ourselves, to come into the present moment and to feel a connection to ourselves.
Let us take a deep breath together.
Yoga
Yoga is primarily there to optimally prepare the body for sitting meditation. It facilitates access to our body. Our thoughts are often everywhere but here - lost in the past or the future.
However, the now is all that matters, and also all that we can influence in this very moment. The harmonious movements of the body, aligned with the breath, make it easier to simply be with you.
Yoga also helps to work with the body, of course. Pain can be prevented or alleviated, mobility improves and our immune system also benefits from the practice.
Yoga is firmly anchored in the concept of Ayurveda and, like meditation, it is part of the Ayurvedic daily routine (Dinacharya).
