Don’t waste anymore time and energy!
Stop the gossip and noise in your head, always interpreting, debating and commenting infinite thoughts made of hot air from yesterday or about tomorrow. Instead focus on the present moment channeling your energy into a constructive and positive direction. Freeing your mind from a lot of rubbish and allowing your intuition and the voice of your heart to come through.
„…Providing food for the mind by having rituals or practices or meditating or praying. Typing in good thoughts and getting a whole roll out of good thoughts, it’s important what you think and say… „(Tina Turner)
Every thought you think, every word you say and every emotion you feel continuously is a seed in your life that develops and manifests itself in your reality. Feed yourself with potent ideas full of anticipation and devotion of your future, your true nature and purpose. Be aware of your inner images and dialogues.
When you sense why you want something and there is a seed in your imagination. When you already have a taste of how your inspiration feels like. When your vision is located somewhere in your body then something crucial happens: your doing doesn’t just become a task – it becomes an inner movement and dance.
„…When you don’t stop yourself, nobody can stop you on your path. Believe in yourself!“ (Christian Bischoff)

Keep the Yin and Yang flowing . . . between heaven and earth . . . day and night . . .
Ancient Taoist philosophy describes life’s energy as Yin and Yang. The Yin being the female, internal, passive, emotional side and Yang being the male, external, active, rational side. Yin being earth and soil, Yang being heaven and sun.
Presence vs. Head!
85% of our thoughts during the day circle around our favourite subjects such as “Yesterday” and “Tomorrow”. Meanwhile we completely forget about the present moment. We are consumed with overthinking, worrying, feeling overwhelmed by past experiences and future expectations. Often our lifes are driven by our heads rather than by the present moment. We regret our yesterdays, plan our tomorrows and forget the NOW. Goal is to become aware and replace the identification with these thoughts and emotions towards a consciousness for the present moment…….space, new possibilities and visions. Freeing your mind from a lot of rubbish and allowing your intuition and creativity to come through. Slowing down the racing film track, instead observing the details. Shifting your mindset from being the victim of your circumstances to becoming the creator of your inner and outer peace, freedom and abundance, accessing and listening to your wisdom within. Daily consistency with constructive affirmations, whenever ego centered ideas are taking you out of the present moment, is a very helpful tool in this process.
For example:
„I trust in my journey and belive in my creativity.“
„I inhale presence, exhale stress, doubts and fears.“
„I move through today with intention and awareness.“
Eckhart Tolle: From Thinking to Stillness
(summary)
The text explores how to engage in thinking—particularly creative thinking—without becoming completely absorbed by the mind, thus maintaining awareness or “presence.” It emphasizes the importance of integrating stillness and presenceinto daily life and especially into creative practices like writing, art, or problem-solving.
The core message is that true creativity and clarity arise when the mind is not constantly active or lost in its own momentum. To achieve this, the practice of conscious pauses throughout the day is recommended. These pauses might involve simply taking a breath, becoming aware of the inner body, or looking at the sky. These brief moments of spaciousness and stillness act as a reset, keeping one grounded and aware.
When approaching creative tasks—like writing—a similar approach is beneficial. Instead of rushing to produce results, the key is to begin with alert stillness. This doesn’t mean forcing the mind to be quiet, but rather becoming aware and attentive. From this still, alert state, one can then move into thinking. The process is dynamic: move into thinking to explore ideas, and when the thinking becomes unproductive or scattered, step back into stillness.
This alternation between thought and stillness is described as a powerful method for any kind of creative or intellectual work. The text uses the example of writing: when faced with a blank page, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed by endless possibilities. One might try writing, erase, try again—this is part of the process. But instead of pushing relentlessly, one should periodically return to a state of non-thinking. These moments of stepping back allow one to reconnect with a deeper source of creativity, beyond the accumulated knowledge of the personal mind.
A historical example given is Albert Einstein, who would often stop thinking and play the violin when his intellectual efforts reached a standstill. Playing music allowed his conceptual mind to rest, creating space for insights to arise effortlessly. Similar tools—like movement, music, or dance—can also help in stepping out of compulsive thought and back into presence.
When one practices this rhythmic interplay between thinking and stillness, a moment may arise where creative expression enters a state of flow. This flow is described as inspiration—a moment where the work seems to come through the person, rather than being created by them. Writers may find the words begin to write themselves; artists or musicians may feel they are simply channeling something greater than themselves. This creative force, referred to in the text as “Being”, is the true source of intelligence and inspiration. It is only accessible when the mind is quiet and receptive.
Many great composers and artists have echoed this experience, claiming their works felt like they were received whole, rather than consciously constructed. In these moments, the individual becomes a conduit for something beyond the personal self—a union between human consciousness and a universal intelligence.
Ultimately, the document suggests that the most profound creative work doesn’t come from the striving mind, but from the stillness behind the mind, where presence, intelligence, and inspiration originate. By learning to balance attention and spacious awareness, one can unlock this deeper creative power and remain rooted in presence while engaging in thought.
CHOICES / CHANCES / CHANGES

„There are no myths or pre-determined fates in life, we create the stories with our dedication and love“. (Quote: Vittorio Iavazzo, sculptor and painter)
Coming from the mystery of our heart, conveyed by the never ending voices of our mind into the endless movements of our body we are continuously building our lives and experiences. Everything is in motion: physically, mentally, spiritually. Imagination, passion and creativity are our innate abilities to cause and accomplish whatever our vision for life is. They must be located in our heart and are the fuel for our existence. The origin of our life force, the hunger to move forward and grow, stepping into action. Realizing where love and yearning are guiding us to. Materializing the blueprint of our true nature and purpose. Some get lucky and are nurtured and supported on their path from early on. Others can get lost on deviations influenced by unfortunate and neglecting influences from their environment. You can’t control your surroundings but you can navigate how to react to it. Whatever you are putting your emphasis and attention on will be nurtured and grow. You always have the choice between „High“ energies like „Joy“, „Motivation“ or „Motion“ or „Low“ energies like „Negativity“, „Heavy“ or „Dramas“. Determination and resiliance are welcomed partners on this ride. Choices are made, chances utilized, never too late. Peace of mind is also a helpful ingredient for steady and successful action and a fulfilling perspective and outcome on your journey called life.
„FLOW is everything“ or „HOPE is the thing with feathers“
Consistently feeding your mind with constructive ideas, images and emotions. Breathing and experiencing FLOW and PRESENCE in your heart, body and mind. Practicing consciousness and movement as a permanent state in your life. Thoughts are creating emotions are creating your daily experiences are creating your reality. Concepts of LOVE/PEACE/JOY…BEAUTY/CONFIDENCE/SUCCESS…RICHES/FULFILLMENT/BLISS do build foundations for a life lived in full alignment with your true nature and purpose.
On the path utilizing the polarities of life as fuel for growth. On the one hand the weight of gravity, that grounds us physically, but also limits us with all the negative thoughts and emotions that are pulling us down, like destructive energies on the outside or an internal opposition. On the other hand our unlimited wealth and capabilities of our mind and imagination, that can be light, uplifting and create unfathomable, unique and never seen before realities. Consciously looking the enemy in the eye and acknowledging the conflict, but predicting the opposite, meaning a positive outcome of the situation. Slowing down and taking action, being easy, filled with light and shine. Never giving up on your vision and a better world.
The togetherness of and tension between both conditions creates energetic momentum with a positive outcome. (Robert Fritz calls this polar dynamic „structural tension“ in his book „The path of least resistance“)
Meanwhile being grateful for the gift of life and who we are: the incredible opportunity to discover our intrinsic destination of our existence. Becoming the creator not the manager of our circumstances. Modern times, anything goes.

(Nordic Walking in North Park)
The perfect day for a walk in the park.
Starting out, step by step, aligning myself with increasing pace and consciousness. Dominant the swing and rythm of the whole body: legs, arms, upper body, inner organs and my head. I get a little bit into a trance, moving forward. Warmth and energy streaming in my entire body. Gravity connecting my feet with the ground, my wandering and wondering mind rising up into the sky. Two sticks in my hands guiding me on my path.
The vibrant and dynamic play of the sun and shaddows on the ground are continuously following me without hesitation. My body and breath are filled with P R E S E N C E in every moment. Trees and bushes lining up in front of me, inviting me to follow on this path. Perfect formation of vegetation, colors in muted browns, greens and greys, the blue sky is the only strong contrast behind the branches of the trees. Nature passing by like doorways into refreshing new territory. Becoming part of the environment, feeling like a blooming tree. The sound of a flew from somewhere in the distance.
Every step a silent invitation to surrender to the next one. Continuously pursuing the arrow forward, round after round, completing the cycle of three. Always the same, steadily different at the same time. Gaining new and liberating modes of peace, freedom and flow. Moving forward, growing consciousness, P R E S E N C E expanding in space and time. After a newly gained adventure returning to where it all started out, though never the same, enriched and different than before.

Triangle / Energy / Works
Over many decades I have been experimenting and experiencing my breath, different ways of thinking and moving my body, followed by my visual work. Here is what I realized for myself: the triangle is indeed a powerful model and symbol for L I F E, as it stands for some of its essential qualities. „Movement“ and „Strength“ as the 2 points at the baseline and „Growth“ being the upper 3rd point. There is actually an exponential growth/ heightening happening between the two baseline points into the upper, third point moving upward.
In my bodywork in connection with mental application I realized there is strong „energy flow“ between the „weightlessness“ of our ways of thinking and moving, going upward and the „gravity“ of our body/ mind, moving downward. This UP/DOWN direction seems contradictory but is full of energy when experienced simultaneously. The WEIGHTLESNESS of our mind is endless in our imagination and creativity, feeling light, weightless and without limitations. The GRAVITY of our mind/ body, on the other hand, has a heavy/ grounding effect, a more dark and rigid quality. (Can also have a negative effect when experienced as limitation and boundary). I think it is essential to acknowledge next to the positive also the negative aspects in life and utilize them as simultaneous components together and as energy flow.
Robert Fritz talks in his book “ The path of least resistance“ about „strutural tension“ and explains, how the energy in the polarity between two oposite poles leads to a resolution and release with a positive and nurturing outcome.
I feel so alive like I am in full bloom, on a mission, experiencing life in many new, positive ways. Defying gravity in a certain way by allowing my mind and way of thinking to create my life and not just manage my circumstances. Life is a gift and has to be appreciated and thanked for. Joy for and in life is the result of conscious decisions, conscious thoughts and small rituals, strengthening us day after day and optimizing our energy, following the essence of who you are.

Driven by the heart
Im am continuously being guided and informed by the words whispered by my heart, right next to the data from the intellect. There is a quick moment when those two organs seem to communicate with each other, evaluating relevant information. A lot of the times the love for imagination and joy for life shows me my path and direction. The flow of energy, inspired by faith and confidence, describes and marks my footsteps and movements in this lifetime. Insecurities and doubts, shaking the system, trying to dominate the moment. Sometimes there are tears of pain and thrill, releasing the traumas and remembering the joys from yesterday. The spark of the present moment likes to rule, forgetting about the regrets and fears of the past and future. Not always liberation from and peace with the struggles and discussions of the mind, moving back and forth, turning in circles. Dancing to the drums of the presence, following the path of the heart. Feeling and healing. Understanding and finding release from the demands of the dualities and polarities on every day’s canvas.
Why Presence? Why listening to the heart?
A few of my teachers over the past two years (Christian Bischoff, Eckhart Tolle, Tony Robbins, Nicholas Wilton) all talk about the importance of „Being in the present moment“ Not wasting time and energy by regretting the past or being anxious about the future but fully perceiving what’s in front of you at this very moment. Noticing objects, sounds, colors, textures, smells, motions. Everything informs your BEING. It’s the presence that makes everything possible. „All I need is within me now“, „We pay more attention to what lights us up when we are present.“ „A practise of presence relates to art making too. Art-making involves uncertainty when creating something new. When you are occupied with a result with an end you want to see that hinders the creative process. Presence is the way we can learn to be at peace with uncertainty. I hope this has encouraged you to stay present and be inspired by what you notice!“
Gregg Braden (author, scientist, educator, pioneer) on „Heart-brain coherence“ (Summary of Youtube video)
There is a strong connection between us and the world around us. Waves of energy roll through the universe. Heartmath science is catching up and pioneering over the last few years researching the power of the heart beyond just being a pump. It is besides sending blood through the body sending the signals to the brain what chemistry to release into the body. The heart is creating hormones that are flooding the body in very specific ways and times. The heart generates these signals based on our perception on the way we feel. Do we feel safe? Do we feel a sense of well being? The relationship to ourselves and the world around us. The heart is the strongest biomagnetic generator in the body and we are closely linked to the magneic field around us.
The goal is to harmonize with the planet around us, harmonize the heart with the brain, harmonize the neuro network in the heart with the neuro network of the brain, self regulating the systems within us like the immune system. Two organs become one very potent system. Do the shift of the awareness from the thinking mind to the feeling heart.
Heart based traditions begin by shifting the focus from the mind to the heart by touching the heart center, rubbing the sternum with your finger tips, creating a sensation near your heart center. Slowing the breathing, by exhaling a period of time longer than you have inhaled. (Breathing: 4 counts on the inhale, 6 on the exhale) Establish a rythm in your body. The ability of selfregulation. Creating this sense of well being. A positive emotion like feelings of appreciation, gratitude, care, compassion.
1. Heart focus
2. Regulation of the breathing
3. Feel the feeling of gratitude
…sending signals from the neurol network of the heart to the neurol network of the brain. By harmonizing these two potent systems into one, we are harmonizing ourselves, minimizing the stress we might experience, creating resiliance for change.
Being in the state of this coherence to release stress from your body, becoming more objective and taking things less personal. The way you feel about the words of someone else becomes less personal, formulating a clear and objective response when in a situation of confrontation with someone else. The inner conversation talking to yourself, self dialog, when the left and right brain talk goes on (good – bad, right – wrong…) shift the awareness to your heart.
The power of intuition
Divinity is part of us, intuitiononly possible because of our divinity. The ability to transcend perceived human limitations. These limitations we put on ourselves because of our conditioning. Divinity is more than our conscious thoughts, its more than our subconscious mind.Then there is the super conscious mind. Divinity and super conscious mind are linked. It is the Part of us that is eternal, a part of us that is all knowing. Artists often say their art came through them, they did not make it. This is their divinity that came through them. Your divinity is always with you. Intuition is part of that divinity. This intuition speaks through our hearts. The principle of entanglement where all physical matter, wether its connected or distant physically is still entangled energetically. The intuition, that stems from our divinity, speaks to us through our hearts. In that state coherence we open that door to Intuition. This the place you can ask questions. Where does your heart sing?
Opening up to „heart – brain coherence“ the ability to create deep states of intuition on demand to become the best version of ourselves we can.
