My love for food is well known among those who know me, and I just realised that I haven’t shared a blog post about my favourite recipes in a while. So tonight, feeling inspired, I’m excited to bring you more of my favourite dishes.

In my last food-related post, I confessed my addiction to weekly markets and my love for buying seasonal greens. At home, we never eat pre-cooked meals or anything that comes in a package—I always choose fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Last month I read the book Healing Collective trauma, and in this blog I want to explore collective trauma through this book. The concept of collective trauma, as explored by Thomas Hübl in his book, invites us to recognise and heal the wounds we have inherited as a society, especially those that relate to oppression, violence, and dehumanisation.

Fear is a theme that has come up repeatedly in my life, and for a long time, I’ve wanted to explore its many facets. As a universal and profound experience, fear has been studied and contemplated across philosophical and spiritual traditions. In this post, I’d like to delve deeper into the nature of fear and how we can engage with it both on and off the yoga mat.

The journey of yoga is about connecting with our body and mind, often through breath, postures, and meditation. But have you ever considered how taste can enhance your yoga experience? Today, we’ll explore how mindful eating can be a powerful addition, deepening your connection to the present moment.

Over the past three years, I’ve rekindled my love for reading. I’d forgotten how much I missed it until I started again—there’s something so calming about settling into my favourite corner with a book in hand, sipping tea or coffee as I turn each page.

Recently, though, I discovered audiobooks. I had always avoided them because I loved the ritual of holding a physical book. But with a 50-minute commute each day, my husband suggested I try Audible, an app where you can download and listen to books.

I love autumn, is probably my favourite season. After the activity and long summer days, we have the opportunity to enjoy early evenings, fireplace and time to gather together with our loved ones. Even my body talks to me and asks me to slow down, to cook more nourishing food and to take more time for myself. I like to see this season as a chance for transformation, introspection, and letting go, offering me the perfect opportunity to nourish my soul.

‘Living in the now’ - These words can seem very easy to say, even to write and it seems that this topic is currently a talked about subject at this current time. What does it mean? Is it that difficult? Is our society ready for a NOW living moment? Or do we prefer to live in TOMORROW to avoid the pain, but we get stuck in the YESTERDAY not being able to forget?

It is true that many teachings advocate for the release of the ego, urging individuals to find a balance between acknowledging the ego's presence and connecting with their authentic self. By recognising the ego without becoming entangled in its illusions, one can navigate the intricate duality of human existence. The ego, often shaped by societal constructs, coexists alongside our essence - the pure reflection of the soul.
