We are experiencing intense times. Full of turbulence. It’s stormy, outside and inside. Sometimes, it feels so overwhelming, there seems to be nothing else. Everything is moving faster and faster. For many, more and more seems to be falling apart in those recent years.
In short: life is ALIVE – and if you have not been used to it before, it may be very frightening, very overwhelming.
Finally back again. After three and a half years away, I am finally back in Tenerife.
About my experience here, and how things are going with my bus in the meantime
Our path emerges as we walk. It unfolds step by step. At every crossroads, with every decision you make.
Life cannot be lived in your head. Life is not the plan in your head.
It was supposed to be only a few minor, undramatic repairs.
Meanwhile it looks more like a reconstruction of the bus …
So, here are the latest news from me and my bus. The bus for my travelling raw food café.
Simple living. Simple eating. Simply being. And experiencing the fullness, the abundance, of life in it.
Flowing with the river of life and choosing my direction, my path in it.
In connection, in alignment, with nature, recognizing its fullness. The fullness in me. The fullness of life. Providing for all our needs and nourishing all beings.
You have read it here lots of times: my suggestion to follow your body. Only your body. Your inner truth. Nothing else. In each moment. No dogma, no rules, no expectations – neither those of others nor your own. And this applies to your food choices as well as to all other choices you need to make in your life.
Because this is the one way to happiness, to health. In the end, this is what freedom means. You, only you, deciding, what you allow in your body, what you will do, and what you won’t. And it is the only way to a truly nourishing and satisfying way of eating and living. Only what is in harmony with your real needs and you inner truth, will make you happy and content.
Today, i want to have a closer look at this. How does this work, following your own body? How can i do this, in everyday life? Doesn’t it take some discipline, strict rules, knowledge about nutrients etc, to thrive and be happy on a raw vegan diet? What do i do if my body is craving unhealthy food, fast food, – this is not healthy desire, is it?
All your life they have been telling you that you are small.
Insufficient.
Not enough.
Or too much.
Weak and powerless.
Not worth it.
That you are limited, and that what you want is not possible.
That you will fail.
Life is hard.
Exhausting.
Painful.
You have to work hard to earn love
and worth.
Chasing luck.
That’s how life is, they said.
No way to change it.
But … NONE of all this is true!!!
Ten years ago, a lovely friend sent these to me: the collage and the small stone saying “MUT” = “COURAGE” you see on the photo above. Helping me to find the courage i needed to embark on this journey of leaving germany behind and travelling the world with my children. Not the first step in following my heart, out of this strange, externally directed life in mainstream society, but definitely one i was struggling with those days.
Is there anybody who is not triggered by the thought of having to wear a mask from today on? I was. Several days i fought … with my resistance, my fears, my anger. There’s a lot these masks are bringing up. (Besides the fact, that it’s physically more than uncomfortable to wear them – when i had to wear a mask in Thailand, i felt like i would suffocate after only half a minute, i simply could not breathe.)
Yet, beyond the question how to deal with this practically (wear a mask or not, rebel, find ways, compromise, express your resentments etc), i invite you to first have a closer look at your reactions and feelings about this.
Feeling fear every now and then is totally normal and okay. It’s about not getting stuck in this fear. Fear stops everything from flowing. Thereby, it will also weaken your health, your resilience, your immune system. Fear will paralyse your mind and leave you with limited (or no) choices on how to act. Right now, it even makes big parts of humans world wide willing to give up all their rights …
