💛 Cutting the whoo whoo bla bla: We're afraid to feel. [3 Min read]
There is magic that unfolds when we stop trying to fix, change, or escape what we're feeling. A quiet, profound magic: just being there.
In my work lately ( and my clients know that sentence very well in sessions), I notice how much energy we spend trying to move away from discomfort. How instinctively we reach for the exit when tension rises in the body. How we strategize our way out of pain before we even allowed ourselves to feel it. We want the release, the relief, the breakthrough - and we start thinking... start fantasizing and allow thought to take over. We get highjacked and forget the essential step that comes before: simply being present with what is.
The Paradox of Softening
Here is what I'm witnessing again and again: The moment we truly allow ourselves to feel – not analyze, not to understand, not to solve, but to truly feel- something shifts. When we stop resisting the sensation and instead relax into it (and yes, I know how uncomfortable that sounds), we invite a different quality entirely. Softness. As something that arises when we stop holding so tight.
Blockages don't always need to be pushed through. Sometimes they dissolve simply because we finally stopped fighting them.
Armour softens when it's met with presence instead of force.
And now what?
What stands in your way is exactly what's there for you.
Uuuh... How often you have heard that sentence?
What you've been avoiding, what you've been trying to outrun or outsmart - that's precisely where your energy is bound. Not because you're doing something wrong, because you haven't yet allowed it to land in your awareness. To be felt. To be held.
The body knows that. It brings up what needs to be met, places it directly in your path. And instead of asking "how do I get past this?" – what if the question became: "can I simply be here with this?"
"Ohne etwas zu ändern"
...Just be there. Without changing anything.
Without needing it to transform immediately.
Without the story of why it shouldn't be here.
Without giving meaning to it
Feeling what is there to be felt.
And... I am fully aware that "just" - can be the most difficult part of "being there"
The Intelligence of Staying
What we resist remains unconscious, pulling at our energy like a shadow we refuse to turn toward. What we meet with awareness can finally land in your hearts consciousness – and only there can it integrate, release its grip, become fuel rather than weight.
This is the intelligence that moves through everything.
Cutting all the whoo whoo - bla bla...
So, all above are big words, wonderfully framed, partly enlightened Language, colored in frequencies and textures of release... And I love creating these letters in tasteful words - transmitting a sensation what is so dear to me. And... What if we cut all of this and what if I distill it to the most basic tool we need in such process? We are afraid to feel
You are afraid to really feel whats inside.
And that is ok.
This Fear protected you for very long time.
If you feel ready to have a look and get to know this part... feel free to jump on the mattress to breathe and feel. Maybe you fuck it up at the first time - maybe you stumble at the third time... and maybe on some point you can feel the space to open the lid and you are capable to feel what is underneath.
Your tool is: patience, compassion and courage to start seeing yourself and all the parts are alive in you.
I am more than happy to guide you and hold your hand. You dont have to do it yourself.
If you feel you need someone to walk this with you - I’m here.

#ISSUE 23 Als Ilona mich gefragt hat, ob ich mir ihr ein Retreat für Paare organisieren möchte, war die Antwort klar: JA. Denn genau darauf zielt meine Arbeit ab. Intimität zerbricht nicht an der Technik. Sie zerbricht im Moment vor der Berührung – im Atem, den du anhältst, in der Präsenz, die dir plötzlich entgleitet, in dem unbewussten Zusammenziehen deines Körpers, ohne dass du es bemerkst. Vielleicht liegt eine alte Erfahrung dahinter, die dir gezeigt hat, dass Nähe nicht sicher ist....
#ISSUE 22 Reader, Lese den Newsletter hier in deutsch There's a particular kind of tiredness that doesn't respond to sleep. Your chest feels tight. Your breath shallow. You've learned to function like this - to push through, to manage. But somewhere underneath, your body is asking: What am I still carrying? The body keeps holding I've been thinking about grief lately. The kind that accumulates quietly over years. The relationships that ended without closure. The dreams you let go. The version...
#ISSUE 22 Es gibt eine Art von Müdigkeit, die nicht verschwindet, egal wie viel man schläft. Deine Brust ist eng. Dein Atem flach.Du hast gelernt, so weiterzumachen - durchzuhalten, zu funktionieren.Und doch fragt dein Körper irgendwo darunter, ganz leise: Was trage ich noch in mir? Der Körper trägt weiter Ich habe in letzter Zeit viel über Trauer nachgedacht. Über die Art von Trauer, die sich über Jahre hinweg ansammelt. Trauer um Beziehungen, die ohne Abschluss geendet haben.
