In meinem Blog durchdenke und durchfühle ich Schlagworte, die für mich in unserer (Zwischen-) Menschlichkeit von Bedeutung sind. Oft philosophisch, manchmal konkret fließt in diesen Blog seit vielen Jahren das, was mich in meiner eigenen (Weiter-) Entwicklung und in der Beobachtung der Welt bewegt.
Weil ich bis 2021 in den USA gelebt habe, sind viele meiner Posts auf Englisch.
In my blog, I reflect on and explore key words that I consider meaningful to our humanity & relationships. Often philosophical, sometimes tangible, this blog portrays what has moved me in my personal development and in my observations for many years.
As I had lived in the US until 2021, many of my posts are in English.
It feels like a Breakup
We’ve been in lockdown for the past 2 weeks. NYC seems in shock over the “Corona wave” that has hit it. It’s nothing that I can really see, as I live on Roosevelt Island. It’s nothing that I’m faced with in terms of numbers and quick facts, as I’ve stopped watching news a few years ago.

First Thoughts on Motherhood

Tonight I’d like to focus on intuition and its connection to practicing mindfulness and meditation. I do so on account of the New Moon, which always asks for leaping into the unknown, getting back in touch with our intuition and taking life step by step through presence. (…)
Starting on a Strong Note
This year has started incredibly solid and rejuvenating for me. Maybe it’s because life’s events teach me to differentiate between the significant and the not-so-significant, maybe it’s because I did some healing work while I was back home in Germany, maybe it’s because I’m really thrilled by cooking and plant based eating. (…)
The Necessity of a Solid "I"
I mentioned it in earlier blog posts already and now that I’ve read a respective book, I can only re-emphasize: the theory of psycho traumatology is an incredibly insightful, logical, and highly topical explanation of how we function as individuals and therewith shaping our societies. (…)
Identity vs. Identification
For me the question of identity is a big one, because I think it holds both a lot of freedom and a lot of pain and internal/external oppression. It is also one of those concepts that I dig deeper the longer I practice (something that comes up with practice) and that holds the danger of spiritual bypassing. Which is why I feel connected to it on a therapeutic level as well, where I think the healthy identity can be achieved. There, Buddhist practice may come to its limits. (…)
