Monthly Newsletter May 2025

Welcome to the first edition of my newsletter on the topics of “living and feeling more consciously”. In each edition, we will take a closer look at topics such as mindfulness, emotional intelligence, a sustainable way of thinking and living and personal development. In doing so, we consciously counterbalance the often stressful but also superficial everyday life and regularly open up new perspectives as an alternative to the often unreflected social truth.

Here I allow myself to think freely and to express these thoughts freely. Instead of simply conforming and fulfilling social expectations. Because authenticity suits everyone and feels absolutely liberating. If you've been trying to live a more conscious life for a while now or if you're trying to get rid of old toxic behaviors, don't worry. I've been working on this for 25 years now and I'm still a long way from where I'd like to be inside. But I have arrived at a pointwhere it feels good in pretty much every life situation. And that is worth a lot, especially in this day and age. For a long time, I was so preoccupied with myself that I didn't even notice the speed at which the mental health of Western affluent society was deteriorating.

Realizing this fact was frightening, as hardly a day goes by without being confronted with absolutely terrible news and even more terrible reactions to it. Viewed from a different perspective, this is a development that is unfortunately quite understandable. If we consciously consider how we have learned to deal with ourselves, the world and others.This disturbing development has been foreseeable for a long time.The simultaneous decline in values and education coupled with rapidly advancing technologization has turned us into a comfortable, throwaway society, which, due to the constant flood of information and sound from the omnipresent media of our time, seems to be neither willing nor capable of developing independent thoughts and constructively questioning itself and its own behaviour. As the results of our lifestyle over the last 50 years clearly show, it leads nowhere. Neither to happiness and fulfillment of the individual nor to the further development of the collective.Not to mention the disastrous effects on our economy, politics and environment.We have long tried to find personal happiness on the outside and have attached our inner lives to what we achieve and succeed at on the outside.Inner as well as, interestingly, outer decay are the direct consequences of this misguided search.This realization could drive one to despair, or it could awaken the spark of hope needed to make a lasting change.We will not be able to change the world, I have always been told. But we can change ourselves. And the more individuals recognize and implement this for themselves, the more we change the collective, together.

Everyone for themselves, where they can. To do this, we need spaces where there is room for authenticity and honesty, where we can question ourselves without being judged and learn how to actually learn to love and develop ourselves. I was very lucky to have been given such a space in my childhood, and since then I have been able to learn how to deal with myself and life differently, overcome traumas, face my fears and dare to go my own way. With everything that goes with being who you really are.That is why I now see it as my task to provide people with such a space within the scope of my possibilities.Openly, honestly and without judgment.Not as a new guru, but as a guide who has only been on the cliffs and in the deep valleys of this life a few times.And therefore perhaps has a few helpful tips on presentation, orientation and equipment.

It is only in recent years that I have realized how important this work is and how many people are looking for development and a better life.For themselves or their children, for the planet or the collective.People are changing, many of them for the better.And each of us can be a part of it, a part of the solution.Choosing the right thing and making the right impact for ourselves and our environment.

And that in itself is already great. Love, peace and namaste!

If you are interested in the topic of this article, I recommend the book “To have or to be” by Erich Fromm. A humanist and social psychologist who already addressed and answered many of today's questions regarding the development of our society back in 1976. A recommended read for which I will be very grateful for the rest of my life.
