Learning to die is learning to live !
2024 July 6th
I am Ingrid. I am born because I was needed. I did great for about 3 years, and then emotions and box mechanisms took over. When I was 30 years old, I lost for the first time my singing voice. Not a good thing for a professional singer. The loss of my voice set me back on track, to the path of consciousness. First through the encounter of a seer, later through non-violent communication, the Work of Byron Katie and then Possibility Management. Almost 2 years ago, I had the first slight symptoms of a disease called , bulbar form of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ALS. I lost my voice again, this time my speaking voice. I was ready for this disease , in the sense that I didn’t put any story on it. This disease exists in the world. Why it should not happen to me? I am back on track. I am what is needed. I live full out. I love my life, every single second of it. |

TouchWe are a society of touchlessness, both literally and figuratively. And how much we are longing for loving touch. With this illness, all barriers are falling. I have never experienced as much touch as I do now. I get creamed, face and body, I am moved to prevent ankylosis, my visitors stroke my cheeks and hold my hand incessantly, friends offer me massages which I happily accept. Touch is infinitely good for the body, the mind, the feeling heart, the energy and the shared connection. Without touch we die. Touch brings peace. Experiment: once a day, ask someone for a conscious touch. It could be a request to rub on sunscreen, holding the hand for a moment, a hug, kneading the feet, and so on and so forth... Happy experimenting !

Celebration
I can't speak, only with my speaking app on the tablet. There are many situations where I don't have the tablet to hand or can't reach it, e.g. in the bathroom or while eating. In these situations I use my now very weakened left hand to make myself understood. It sometimes takes a while before the person I'm talking to, my sister Dagmar in the photo, guesses what I want to say. Dagmar and I celebrate every little understanding with a high five or a thumbs up. It brings a lot of fun and real Joy into Life. Try it out! It adjusts everyday life to the speed of Love. The experience of Love has a speed limit. If you are faster than the speed limit of the experience of Love - and we usually are - then Love is there, but you can't feel it. Only YOU can change this. Celebrate together every single understanding.

Self-Doubt, a Trick of Your Gremlin
I live with a man who is unconsciously rooted in patriarchy. I have chosen to live with this man over and over again, most recently after moving out for 4 months. I am aware that I can’t change him. For years I mistakenly believed I could change him. After that I hoped that he would want to change himself. In the meantime, I do not want to change him. You can read more here ! |

Sounds like a great guideline, doesn’t it? ... You can read more here ! |

Fear about my Growing Gremlin

In the fifth Training week, we did Hook-Unhookable-exercise, non-linearity-creation through identity-shifts and Going-Mad-Training. My Gremlin had really fun. I feel still Kraah’s smile in my face. ...

Pourquoi je me suis inscrite à un cours pour devenir gardienne d'espace d'un club de la colère ?
Est-ce que j’étais complètement dingue ? Maintenant, je suis là et j’ai peur. Je me sens inadéquate, zéro préparée à cette aventure et absolument nulle pour dealer avec la colère. J’évite la colère. J’ai peur de la colère chez les autres et, encore plus, chez moi-même. Je crains la violence, ma violence. Je crains de perdre le contrôle sur moi …
