INDIA

India, the great nation of Bharat, is the root of my spiritual journey.

Ever since I was a little girl, it was my wish to travel and be inspired by other cultures, nations, people.

The beauty of Greece, Italy, France defined my "Renaissance Personality"; what I saw and experienced there has defined my quest for developing the inner beauty of every single human being.

Like a breath of fresh air, the great masters spoke to me, and there was a light in my heart, intending to grow, expand, blossom.

This is still so, and will continue to eternity...and beyond.

Without art and beauty it is impossible for a human being to be truly human.

Like the touch of a butterfly's wings...

Still, there was some part of me wondering what is the foundation for a human life:
Where do we come from?
What is the purpose of life?
Where are we going after this life?

The intricate philosophy of the West most certainly made order in the way we live, and interpret, our society and social culture and norms.
But how about people, who have a different view on these matters?
Where would I find them?
What was their perspective on life?

It was never my intention to just float around with no purpose. I wanted to know; I wanted to "Know My Self"; is there a self, and if so, what is that?

After decades of preparation, my first visit to India took me to a global community, where I met people from all religions, all walks of life, all kinds of (plant based) foods, innumerable languages and dress codes.

It was a melting pot for all things spiritual, and with great pleasure, I started this journey by connecting to so many sweet, gentle, positive and open minded people.

Gradually I narrowed my search down to focus on Hatha Yoga, Breathing Exercises, Meditation and Mind Training, leading to removing layers of misconceptions about life to finally arriving at a foundation of ethical conduct, based on secular ethics.

This is what you can see from my website: the wish to find common ground for all humans; something we can all share and upon which we can build a better tomorrow. Together.

The journey is still on-going; it will never end, because the potential for inner growth is without limits; it took me decades to get to see some sparks of light shining from within; now it is my privilege to share it with you, hoping you will be inspired to work with your self to get to the innate beauty, you have in you.

Beneath all the layers of what we project onto the world; beneath all the noise; there it is; an inner state of peace, calm joy and silent happiness.

That, my dear friends, is our personal, sacred place.
It is always with us.
What we have to do, is find it, and keep connecting to that part of our inner being.
It is our duty to our self to continue this process of growth forever...

From there all goodness, art, beauty, music, poetry and genuine happiness and compassion comes.

Inner beauty through inner growth.

Nirvana is not a place; Nirvana is a state of mind...
