Caught in time

I'm currently at our finca in Andalusia and I'm surprised at myself. I'm sitting in the middle of paradise: Palm trees sway gently in the wind, the lemon tree in our garden is in full bloom and the sun is pleasantly warm and not too hot today. I want to go to the sea soon, which is quite pleasant for swimming at this time of year (May/June). And above all: I have TIME.

I am surprised because my head simply does not want to find its way into this moment of presence in the now. I know, and I have experienced it 100 times, that when I succeed, I can feel the energy of my experience flowing through me. Everything feels alive and I can experience it with all my senses. I smile and just feel happy and content without a cause - without an external trigger. No striving, no need... Ah... I BREATHE and I AM. It is delicious...

But what does my head do... it plans, it thinks about past events... it repeats sentences that have been said. My forehead wrinkles and I notice a slight pressure in my stomach and my jaw becomes increasingly tight. But after years of mindfulness, I am practiced: I can watch it! That is already a gain. So AHA (stop - look - accept) And then I realize: I'm not THERE... I'm in my thoughts, as if they were speech bubbles outside my head! They always refer to what was or possibly will be... => Nothing but ideas and stories!

None of it is real! It is either long gone and just my memories under the filter of my evaluation, or it is simply ideas and hypotheses that do not yet exist. Neither in memory nor in vision - I know this and have understood it - is there happiness. The moment of now, that is all that is REAL and it is already over again.

The somatic reaction to this carousel of thoughts is often exertion or resistance. It takes strength, it makes you tired and it is never enough. Which is the worst thing: I am not THERE - I am not in connection - in contact with myself and everything that is. => I am trapped in TIME. It's bewitching, almost like a labyrinth from which I can't escape. The more I try, the more I get entangled in it. Or like quicksand, the more I struggle, the deeper I get into it and threaten to run out of air.

If I were now in a monastery or on a mountain in nature it would certainly be easier, I hear my thoughts say... and there it is again the inner commentator and throws me out of my paradise... seduces me... kidnaps me.

I have not yet found a patent solution and am practicing grace with myself... I am very happy to have ATEM by my side as my companion. It helps to build a bridge between the human being that I am and all my „I have to's“ and the soul, the spiritual being that looks with loving eyes in amazement at how one can struggle in the maze of time that doesn't really exist.

With these words I would like to say goodbye for today, the sea invites me to a new experience in the now

Kind regards

ATEMRAUM

EVERY 1ST TUESDAY | 19:30 - 20:45

VIRTUAL EVENT

A room to breathe.
A space for being.

The ATEMRAUM is an ongoing online breathing group for people who want to connect with themselves regularly. The focus is on conscious breathing – a form of breathwork that invites you to become more aware of your body and what is happening around you.

Make yourself comfortable in a quiet place and give yourself this time just for you. I will guide you through a conscious breathing journey with words, music, and moments of silence.

Every evening is different.

Sometimes relaxation takes center stage, sometimes self-awareness, presence, or inner clarity. Conscious breathing accompanies you as a silent companion – back into the body, back to the here and now.

Afterwards, there is the opportunity to share experiences or simply linger for a little while longer.

I open this space and am here.

If you feel that this is exactly what’s right for you, you are very welcome.

SPACE TO BREATHE is an ongoing online breathwork group for people who would like to reconnect with themselves through the breath on a regular basis.

SOUND ROOM EXPERIENCE

EVERY 3RD MONDAY | 6:30 - 8:00 PM

LIFE EVENT

Enjoy the soothing feeling of being touched and moved by the sound of the singing bowls. Feel what it means to arrive and strengthen what is healthy in you ...

Do something good for yourself once a month. Make yourself comfortable in the rooms of the DEINRAUM practice and let me accompany you with the singing bowls. You can simply relax and let go. The vibrations of the singing bowls have a harmonizing effect on our body and nervous system and at the same time create access to resources and creativity. Your inner battery can recharge and you can give your wishes a new direction with clear intensity. 

Sometimes all it takes is the sensual experience of the sound, your permission to feel or surrendering to your basic trust. Other times we might go on a journey into your inner garden or beyond the rainbow... let yourself be surprised.

Are you in? 

Then register now and tell me the date on which KLANGRAUM evening you would like to attend. Please wait for my confirmation to let you know if the group is taking place and what you can bring.

This event takes place on a donation basis (EUR 25 recommended)

BODYRAUM

EVERY 1ST THURSDAY AT 19:30 – 20:45

VIRTUAL EVENT

Listen to the body.

Our body is much more than what we see from the outside. It is the place where we experience ourselves and life directly.

In BODYRAUM invites you to explore and perceive your body with curiosity, without having to analyze, evaluate, or change what is happening right now. We slow down, direct our attention inward, and listen.

Sometimes we encounter a tension or restlessness, perhaps a longing or a gentle knowledge that has not yet found words. The body speaks through sensations, images, and subtle perceptions. In Focusing, we call this holistic sense of what is alive within us the Felt Sense.

But we don’t just listen to what is difficult or unpleasant. We also perceive what feels far away, lively, or simply good. This creates space for constantly rediscovering our own body and listening to what is being shown to us at the moment.

As inspiration, there is a theme each evening that you can explore – for example, stability, safety, liveliness, joy, or connection…. or you follow your own unique path. In this way, we sometimes work with movement or touch, sometimes with a felt-sense exercise, conscious breathing, or a silent body awareness.

In the end, we round things off with a word or a short sentence about what was important to you that evening.

Nothing needs to happen. Everything can have its space and simply be there.

I look forward to listening together with you.
