- "Uns fehlt es hier an nichts," said C. the other day. We're not lacking anything where we live. And he is so right. We have a beautiful apartment, peace and quiet, loving neighbours and cats, each other. Even a sauna. The sun is slowly coming back now, too. I'm so glad I left the big city to come here.
- Cosmic Breathwork and Movement Medicine with Jeanne and Tanja. I drew the card "Ermutigung/Encouragement" before the breathing and "Lebenslust/Joy of life" afterwards. "Fülle/Abundance" also found its way to me. I loved the warm tingles and body sensations the breathing gave me. I felt so energized the next day.
- Sunday evening sauna sessions with C. Lying down in the snow afterwards.
- A little Imbolc ritual: stopping on the way home to collect some dry grass so I could make a Brigid cross. Sprinkling some salt under our door mats. That night, the moon was still almost full. Big and bright, hanging low on the clear sky.
- Reading "Neun Tage Unendlichkeit" by Anke Evertz. It was as if something inside of me remembered. I feel so uplifted now, almost as if I'm on a higher frequency now. I even found a reason to mention the book in group therapy (and it was lovely, we kept talking about spiritiuality and death afterwards). Which inspired me to finally pick up the book my mother wrote for the first time. I guess I was ready. Because obviously what she describes is pretty much the same I found in the first book. We're magical, powerful beings made of love. Wow. So much of what I learned over the last few months is being confirmed.
- I ALSO started reading my mum's spiritual novel. I was ready. And in essence, she says the same thing as Anke Evertz. I suspected as much. So it must all be true then?
- Sitting outside in the warm sun, wearing my bathrobe after a shower, with my BFF Charlie on my lap. Exchanging love and cuddles.
- The deer are back.
- A free yoga class with Theresa. Summoning an extra soft cat afterwards. She even hopped into my car waiting for me to kidnap her.
- Waking up Lian with a fox hand puppet and a back massage. He loved it so much he requested it for the next morning, too. I came back with soft, quiet music and a mischievous Mr. Fox. C. said that he loves my calming nature (I mean, ONE of my many modalities). And he knows that he and Lian's mother don't really radiate that wholesome, reassuring tranquility and he loves that his son gets to experience this through me now.
- I signed up for a palliative care class. And holotropic breathwork.
- High energy. Movement. Getting a good idea about what my body is lacking.
- Cutting "crisp" paper with my favourite scissors.
- The Miniaturist has such an interesting setting and beautiful aesthetics (The colours! The fabrics! The light!). I wish they would have turned it into a longer series.
- Writing, copying inspirational texts. Learning. Collaging, designing pages.
- Meeting some lovely women at the AKT art therapy seminar (Christiane, Nicole, Yvonne). Making a collage I am super pleased with, trusting in a very flowy, intuitive process. Understanding that my composition tells me something about being held, safety, ressources, and overstepping boundaries. Finding a dead little tree on Munich's streets. Taking it home to strip it and turn it into art.
- Sandra Vásquez de la Horra's Soy Energía exhibition at Haus der Kunst. I loved the wax she used to coat some of her drawings and paintings and want to find out more about it. The dynamic rhythm of her pencil strokes and used of colour also pleased me.
- Learning about Schüßler salts through a podcast on quantum health and being reminded again of my mother’s practice. I bought the twelve most important ones and want to learn more about them. I seem to be open to it now. In addition, I have been reading about Traditional Chinese Medicine and am fascinated by how well my symptoms are explained. Yin stagnation — obviously.
- Reading Hekate by Nikita Gill gives me a very similar joy to when I read Piranesi (Susanna Clarke) or Circe (Madeline Miller).
- Morning cuddles with gentle Findus. Humming in the dark. He must have enjoyed it as he cleaned my arm as if to thank me.
- Stumbling upon an interesting artist: Heimrad Prem.
- The first bees are already buzzing through the air! Spring is close! There were so many outside a plant store I visited after Pilates class.
- One of the storks that lives in the nearby field returned from the south first, and for a moment I was worried it might be alone. But yesterday the second one arrived as well. They frequently return to the same nest each year and often reunite with the same mate, as long as both survive and arrive around the same time.
- The few minutes of warm golden light before sunset recently, even on stormy days.
- Feeling creative and euphoric with one of my Doctor ABC orders.
- The cashier who ran after me to bring me the items I'd forgotten at the checkout.
- Baking cinnamon buns with apple jam. Going to the climbing gym with Sophia, Lian and Marcus. Meeting Frank there. Only climbing up the easy routes to take care of my shoulder.
- An evening alone with C. on Valentine's Day.
- Wearing a fresh shirt smelling of fabric softener after a stinky kitchen shift.
- Writing with purple multichrome glitter ink in bright light.
- Cooking in a well-stocked kitchen really fires my creativity! I love this feeling of abundance and unlimited potential.
- The seminar group Ben and I were cooking for spontaneously applauded us one evening because our food was so tasty! Made me happy and proud.
- And yeah, this cooking week has been such a good experience! The work was fun, bonding with Ben was awesome... I might have to offer my services as a seminar cook soon.
- Breakfast conversation with Ben: bringing up the idea to offer a class on something I want to get better at myself so I'm forced to work on it. Soft pressure and accountability. I also loved what he said about his time as a personal trainer for obese people: I don't want you to shrink, I want you to grow internally. And that makes so much sense to me. Also, he looked at me one afternoon and said he'd love me to be the cool friend who takes him to a Flinta party. I felt a little flattered.
- Turning leftover oatmeal into soft bake oat cookies with chocolate chunks and almonds.
