The Fall Equinox is a powerful time in the year. There’s an opportunity here for greatly accelerating your timeline, and take leaps forward in life. If you use the energy correctly, on these kind of days you can skip parts of your journey that would otherwise take you a really long time to travel. …

I’ll just go ahead and say it: women have been sold a lie! We have been told that our fertility naturally decline with age, and if you’re pregnant past 35 your pregnancy is even labeled as geriatric(!?) In the yogic world we know that fertility is not determined by age but rather by a state. …

Your life is lived through your human vessel. If you want to travel unhindered you have to understand the mechanics, and you’re best off to become your own mechanic too. You will have to know how to adjust something, when to break, and when to go full speed ahead—just like when driving a car. This require essential skills of self regulation. …

I had the pleasure of speaking with Lauren from Household Practice in Belgium. This summer I will be going there to co-teach a training with her. Our conversation touched upon the importance of, and the opportunity that lies in practicing together, creating community, what about Kundalini Yoga has moved each of us most deeply …

How do you turn your jealousy into a tool for becoming more conscious? Here’s three strategies to overcome feeling jealous that’s worked really well for me. Jealousy is a normal human emotion. It’s easy to get into. But it’s really not necessary to stay in that space, and there are easy ways out if it. …

You’ve probably heard this one before: We’re moving out of an era  where the ultimate power you could have was knowledge. But what does that mean?

Knowledge, and access to knowledge—and the hierarchy of who had access—was used to control people. Knowledge was a currency and the more knowledgeable you were, the more status you had. 

Funny and catching title—good, now I have your attention. My biggest interest has always been, well, myself. I am deeply interested in how I work, how I function, and what my relationship to the world is. The modalities are my way to go deeper into this understanding. Because within me (and in you) is the whole universe. …

I am all about taking our powers back by taking radical responsibility. I’ve said it before, and here I am saying it again. Because it is one of the greatest epiphanies I’ve had over the years: knowing that how I feel is 100% my responsibility. I am done with blaming outside circumstances, institutions, government, partner, family etc. for how I feel. I will no longer let my emotional state be dictated by other people. I will no longer let others be a source that can take away my energy and power. …

A lot of change is happening right now. On the astrological scene we are facing a paradigm shift when Pluto moves into Aquarius tomorrow. We are also only just transitioning out of the Spring Equinox and yesterday was the astrological New Year, with the New Moon in Aries. This could be an exciting time, but if you feel a sense of resistance, know that this is very valid and normal too. …

Spring is here, and with it comes the Spring Equinox… The Spring Equinox is a powerful day in the year (perhaps the most important), where the energy is extra favorable for accelerating your growth and launch yourself into the reality that you want to live in (yes—it’s your choice). …

Today is International Women’s Day. There is so much to say and there is so much I want to, and could say on the subject of women—where to even begin? We’ve come a long way in the last century and decades, in our fight for women’s rights. Still, our world does not operate in a way that is serving women well. That’s why many have made it their mission to claim their space by building their own freedom so that they can structure their lives in a way that serve their needs as women. …

Why do we do the things we do, the way we do them?—this question is one I remember pondering, since a very young age. I think many have had similar questions go through their head: Why am I the way I am? What makes me be this way? Why do I react like this? Where does this pattern come from? Etc. Life is infinitely interesting, if you ask me. And one of the most interesting and fascinating things for me to study is, well… me…

Leaving life up to chance, can be a very unfulfilling experience. In every single moment you have an opportunity to ask yourself: what do I want to have a bigger experience of right now? Let’s break that down: Following this idea of having a bigger experience, takes some maturity and claiming responsibility over your existence—I know, not something we are so used to doing. What usually happens is that when things aren’t going the way we want them to, we blame and externalize. …

Why do we practice yoga? Because it works wonderful to exercise both our minds and bodies as well as connect our spirit to the universal “God force” in the universe. There are many different reasons why someone would want to practice this.

This ancient/future system has never been more relevant—or more popular—than it is today. …

—AND HOW TO BEAT IT

Have you spotted the current trend in the “wellness world”? I’ve called it the “overachiever exhaustion complex”.

Many people who have been seeking healing, or engaged in self improvement practices are genuinely burned out. They get tired of feeling like there’s something wrong with them, or that they have to “fix” themselves constantly. …

I was not really born an optimist (or maybe I was, but my immediate environment quickly changed it). Optimism is something I have had to train, just like any other “muscle” that I’ve worked hard for (because strong physic is also not something I was inherently born with).

I still remember the day when I finally realized that I had all the choices in life. And that I also had enough energy and mental power to take responsibility for making those choices. That was a day of true liberation for me. …

… about spirituality (and the people who teach it)

#1: You can’t actually teach spirituality

You can use spiritual practices to get into a position where you can catch it.

(Time can also be a teacher. But it is a slow game)

“Spirituality is not taught, it is caught”—ever heard that sentence? Spirituality is not something you can actually teach someone else. …

… is that it is a product of time. Fear only exist as a future projection. What’s the thing about projections? They can be wrong. Fear is always a fantasy. What is a fear? …

I’m also going to chime in, and say that January 1st might not be the ideal time to fill your head with a big to-do list. The new year of our Gregorian calendar, is well, kind of a construct. And not necessarily the ideal time to make resolutions.

We are still in the darkest time of the year, and this time is really one of resetting, and of tending to the soil—aka how you feel in all aspects of your life…
