Meditation
Die Wurzeln der Meditation reichen bis in die Antike zurück. Die frühesten Aufzeichnungen über meditative Praktiken stammen aus Indien, wo sie Teil des Hinduismus und später des Buddhismus wurden.
Ayurveda
As you’ve probably already read, I started an Ayurveda Coach training program—simply out of pure interest. I find it fascinating how this philosophy views health and the individual as a whole. For those who have never encountered this topic, here’s a little introduction to what it’s all about.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is a calm and meditative form of yoga that focuses on holding poses for extended periods—typically between three to five minutes. Unlike dynamic yoga styles that emphasize muscle strength and movement, Yin Yoga aims to stretch and stimulate the connective tissues, joints, and fascia. This practice not only promotes physical flexibility but also encourages mental relaxation.
Seasonal Calender February
In February, the cold winter months are not yet over. It is often a transitional month between the frosty days of winter and the first signs of spring. During this time, fresh produce from open fields remains limited. Many vegetables still need time to transition into the spring season, but some hardy outdoor crops are already available. The selection of fruits and vegetables is supplemented by stored produce from the previous year’s harvest, ensuring that regional ingredients remain accessible.
Seasonal Calendar January
In January, winter is at its peak in many regions, which affects the availability of fresh fruits and vegetables. The selection of outdoor-grown produce is often limited during this time of year, but proper storage of harvested crops ensures a diverse range of seasonal ingredients remains available. This season is ideal for hardy vegetables that thrive in colder temperatures and for produce that stores well in cool, dark environments.
My Story
But I need to start from the beginning to explain how I ended up in that helicopter on that April day: For some time, I had been feeling a profound exhaustion and fatigue. Everything felt heavy, every step too much, and I was increasingly out of breath. “It’s just the stress,” I tried to calm myself. After all, a lot was happening: I had just gone through a breakup, needed to find a new apartment, and work was demanding a lot from me.
Seasonal Calendar March
The month of March marks the transition from winter to spring and brings fresh colors and flavors into the kitchen. As nature slowly awakens from its winter sleep, we can look forward to a variety of seasonal foods. Here you will find an overview of fruits, vegetables, and herbs available in March, divided into outdoor produce and stored produce.
What is Mindfulness?
Mindfulness is the conscious awareness of the present moment without judgment. It comes from the Buddhist tradition, but it has also gained significance in Western psychology and therapy. Mindfulness means being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations and accepting them without distractions or judgments. It’s about fully experiencing the present moment, rather than dwelling on thoughts about the past or the future. The practice of mindfulness has numerous benefits for both body and mind. Studies show that mindfulness can reduce stress, strengthen emotional resilience, and improve overall quality of life.
Welcome! I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m truly happy to welcome you to my blog! Through my personal story of forced slow-down, my attitude towards topics like mindfulness, inner peace, stress management, and everything related to physical and emotional healing has changed significantly. In the past, I was always running around, thinking it was normal to be constantly on the go, to have stress, to not care about my emotions, and I thought mindfulness was ridiculous, etc. Unfortunately, this led to such a major health crash that I could no longer continue like that. For details, you can read my personal story here on this blog.
Affirmations
Affirmations are far more than just a few nice sentences you say to yourself in the morning in front of the mirror. They are powerful tools to transform our thinking, mindset, and ultimately our lives. But what exactly are affirmations, how do they work, and why is it worth integrating them into your daily routine?
