Love

-
Today, I want to share some romantic thoughts about love with you. They are touching me and they might touch you too. It's because I am surrounded by loving people who inspire me to write about love by making me feel loving and loved.

Love is in everything. It hurts and it heals. 
It`s the pain we feel to let someone go and the joy we feel in harmony with other people. 
Love doesn`t have a goal or a condition and it doesn`t ask. It`s just there. A connection between two hearts, two souls, which we can't see but feel. Two hearts that beat in the same rhythm. Two energies with matching frequencies. A harmony in a moment, in nature or with other beings.

If you truly love someone, you don`t want to change anything about them. If someone loves you, they will appreciate the way you are. And if you want to change yourself, the person will help you to do so and support you to become what you want to be. They'll believe in you, maybe even more than yourself. They'll see your beauty, maybe even more than you. They won't hold you back but encourage you to realize your dreams and to follow your heart.

If you truly love someone, you don't count the effort you put in. You don't give with the aim to get something back. You just give because you love to give, with no expectations. No calculation. And you can be sure, everything you give will come back to you somehow, in unexpected ways. Maybe from someone or something else. Because love is in everything. However, it's not your aim to profit. You give love because it feels right, because your heart tells you to.

Love is the magic of life represented in relationships and feelings, in friendship and family. Even if it hurts, it is beautiful. It makes life worthy. To every up there is a down, to every coming a going, to every joy a pain. That is the natural flow of life like the waves of the sea come and go. Like the sun rises and sets.

If you have to let someone go, you will realize how much you love that person. If you leave a place, you suddenly value all it's positive and negative aspects. All its spots and corners. You wake up and realize how blessed you are! Therefore you have to let go.
What a beautiful pain it is to let go. 

I love you guys and I love to let you go. Because I don't take you for granted. And I love every day, everything I have. Travelling makes me realize that. Letting go is my teacher and my lesson to value what I have right now. Nothing is forever.

Niyamas - the five ethical guidelines or "DO"s in Yoga

-
Image
The Niyamas are the second of the eight limbs of Yoga . In the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali , they are described right after the Yamas . Whereas Yamas are rules what a Yoga practitioner should not do towards others and oneself, the Niyamas describe what one should do. They also have to be practised on a mental level to improve ones clarity and inner peace of mind. The Niyamas are 1. Saucha 2. Santosa 3. Tapah 4. Svadhyaya 5. Isvara Pranidana SAUCHA Saucha is the first Niyama and it means cleanliness or purity.  A clean body and mind keep you physically and mentally healthy. When you are free from physical disturbances and mental worries, you can successfully focus on your goals and needs. But what does purity of body and mind mean practically? How can we achieve it? Let's start with the outer appearance . First of all, purity means we should regularly have showers, wash hands, brush teeth, change clothes and maintain our daily hygiene. You can also start using a tongue...

Fredericks story

Every morning, my alarm clock goes off at 5:45 am. Each time, I feel very tired and wonder why I am doing this to myself. My morning routine consists of a quick shower and brushing my teeth before I leave the apartment. On my way to the Yoga Shala I am absolutely amazed by the wonderful starry sky. The lesson begins at 6.30am. Nobody is allowed to speak, so we all sit silently in a circle, crossed-legged on blankets. Candles in the center of our circle shed the only light in the room and it smells nice like incense sticks. Every day one of the students begins the lesson with a daily ritual. With the sound of a singing bowl, they start to read a short story, poem or other inspiring words for the day. After, Steve the teacher takes over to lead the Prana Yama practise and meditation.   One time, Kristina, a German student read a story which I found so cute and inspiring, that I would like to share it on my blog. It’s the story of Frederick, the little mouse which ...

The eight limbs of Yoga - a quick overview

-
Image
Maharichi Patanjali wrote the Yoga Sutras and summarized all practical knowledge for a yogic life.  He divided Yoga into eight steps with Samadhi, enlightenment and liberation as the highest goals.  Samadhi is a state of mind where you are in total inner peace, completely detached from all worldly and where nothing can harm you anymore. Liberation means being released of the endless cycle of rebirth and painful lives. The eight steps or limbs of Yoga are 1. Yamas 2. Niyamas 3. Asanas 4. Prana Yamas 5. Pratyahara 6. Dharana 7. Dhyana 8. Samadhi You can work on those steps simultaneously and they are linked to each other, that is why they are also called limbs of Yoga, like the limbs of a body. Step 1-4 are the basics. Yamas and Niyamas are principles for your social behaviour and your mindset. They make us a lot more aware of our thoughts, words and actions so that we can work on our selves and become better versions of ourselves. Additionally, the...
