      It sounds a bit rude. And it is. Shoulding gets in the way and obscures what we want in life. It distracts and prevents us from accessing what is true for ourselves. How so? I have been observing, within myself and other people, how difficult it can be to figure out what […]

Tell me. What DO you know? Knowing is an interesting place to be in. There is a wide swing of the pendulum here. Sometimes we are so certain in our knowing that it becomes righteous, not allowing any opposition in our own mind, and we can easily get triggered and pushy when others do not

      Tight, tight, tight. Sometimes life just feels like that. You had everything nicely planned and then the proverbial wrench shows up and puts a spanner in the works. Stopping you. Making you unhappy. You were fixed on a certain outcome, expecting it, planning for it to be true and now it’s not

Oh, no. Not again. I am so tired of this process! We all know what it feels like to get triggered by a person or an event in our life: there is an emotional response that can range from irritation to frustration to full blown anger. And, in that moment, there is just that: the

What does your space look and feel like? And, no, I don’t mean your physical space – although that would be a good question as well, do you agree? Talking to some of my clients recently, I noticed that there is a bit of a pattern showing up in their lives. There are, of course,

Be still. Sense the quiet, The containment, The possibility. Imagine a seed lying in the soil during winter. It’s whole and complete and full of potential, waiting for the right conditions to appear, so it can begin its journey. We’re much the same. We’re whole and filled with amazing potential. All of it is available

As this year comes to an end, it seems natural for us to look to the New Year with renewed hope, fresh ideas and intentions. However, before you go there, I invite you to check back and see what is still incomplete about this past year. So often, we have unfinished business and keep dragging

Are you stuck with your gift giving? Hmm. We all know by now that receiving is just as important as giving. There is an energetic exchange that needs to take place. Always giving to another empties out the reservoir and in the end creates resentment. Learning to receive gifts, appreciations and attention from another person

Unfocused. Stretched. Overloaded. Does that describe you? Do you ever feel you have a thousand threads coming out of your body, and they are being tugged on  all at the same time? You are being stretched in all directions, flattening you out like a pancake? When this happens to me, I lose my connection to

Have you ever been in a situation where you urgently wanted to share something and nobody paid attention? How did you feel? Frustrated, powerless, anxious, angry, depressed? Here you have an important question to ask or a great idea to contribute, a joke to share, and it all falls flat, because nobody is paying attention

      Ok. I am standing here all by myself. Where is my horse? I have been walking around the arena with Max, my horse. I signed up for a day of exploration, teaching, healing with horses, and we are just getting going. It all feels a little weird, because I have no idea
