“It is not only the words: It is the depth of presence and learning that accompanies the words.“
(Soren / Wisdom 2.0)

These words are from Soren’s newsletter in which he wrote about words and travel partners.

“We could say that all words have a “travel partner.” And the travel partner is the depth of our own experience.”

The simplicity and depth of these words not only caught my attention but also resonated deeply with me. Having been a mindfulness teacher for many years, I know from my own experience that words have so much more to say when spoken by someone with a strong presence.

Thank you for your wonderful newsletters and wise words.

Jede(r) liebt sie! Sie beflügelt uns, reißt uns mit und ist hochgradig ansteckend.

Unsere Begeisterung ist nicht nur ein äußerst beliebter Zustand, sondern eine wahre Superpower, die unglaubliche Energien in uns aktivieren kann. Sie unterstützt uns beim Lernen, fördert unsere Problemlösungskompetenz und wirkt sich positiv auf unser Immunsystem aus.

Vielversprechend? Unbedingt!

Gleichzeitig dürfen wir darauf achten, dass auch sie hin und wieder eine Regulation braucht, denn auch das schönste Gefühl kann uns, wenn es außer Kontrolle gerät, kräftig gegen die Wand fahren.

In diesem Artikel habe ich darüber geschrieben, welch großes Potential sie hat, welche ausgleichenden Faktoren es gibt – ja, die brauchen wir hin und wieder –und wie wir sie hinter dem Ofen hervorlocken können.

Wie haltet ihr es mit der "Begeisterung" und kennt ihr Situationen, in denen eine leichte Regulation für euch und/oder für Beteiligte hilfreich gewesen wäre?

Begeisterung ist mehr als ein flüchtiges Gefühl. Sie ist eine belebende und energiegeladene Superpower, mit der wir Großes erreichen können.

Journaling is a way of writing your way to your own centre, and of experiencing yourself fully from there.

"Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual's conscious life, the blacker and denser it is."
(Carl Jung)

Journaling helps us to bring the unconscious parts to the surface.

There are those that are easy to understand and others where coaching can help to better understand and integrate them into life.

“Work in the invisible world just as hard as you work in the visible world.”

In her diary, Anne Frank expressed how writing allowed her to deal with her emotions in the midst of a very challenging time and a way to rediscover her inner strength.

Anne Frank's diary has become a testament to the power of writing as a tool for self-expression, resilience, and personal growth.

Writing works at a very deep level.

Journaling with a sentence prompt:

(1)
If our writing is to come right from the core, we first need to find our way there. That's the purpose of the mindfulness exercise that I invite you to do before the actual journaling. The goal of this practice is to quieten everything that’s occupied us up to this moment.

(2)
When, after a few breaths, we're completely present in the moment, we read the sentence prompt.

When writing it’s not crucial to stay close to the selected sentence prompt. We use it as a starting point, letting ourselves be guided by emerging thoughts, feelings and impulses. If your thoughts or feelings pull you in a completely different direction, let it happen.

(3)
To sum up the most important things when writing:
• Thoughts flow unfiltered
• Free from perfection
• Everything that moves you is allowed
• Discover yourself
• Open, friendly and curious
• Encounter yourself with honesty

Questions, doubts, resentment, first thoughts, second thoughts, third thoughts, distractions, evaluations, evaluations of the evaluations — everything gets written down.

Enjoy the process ✍️

Within every thought
dwells a related effect.
(Rumi)

Journaling is a writing method that helps us avoid losing ourselves in the mess of thoughts and feelings that are rushing through our heads and hearts at any given moment. This method makes it easy to listen inwardly, to observe yourself, to get to know yourself and to broaden your horizons.
