Jed McKenna’s books
I’m going to come back to Jed McKenna here many times. He blew my mind completely, but it was a journey through hell. I really wasn’t sure if I’d come out of this alive. What saved me was this blog, and my husband explaining what these books mean to me in one sentence. My husband…

Rewrite your story daily
Think of the most honest thing you can possibly come up with. Write it down. Repeat. That’s it. That’s the whole thing. Jed McKenna calls it Spiritual Autolysis. Many Catholic and Sufi mystics have been working with this kind of process. I told my husband about it today for the first time. “So, kinda like…

Mind mapping
Staring at a blank page terrifies me. I’m only comfortable writing about things I can place in a larger context, and understand how they relate to everything else.

After playing around with it for an hour, I love it a lot already. Looks like the perfect place…

Hey everyone, I am in Kosmos!
Not in outer space this time, but it’s pretty damn close. The Kosmos magazine I cooperate with just published a guided tour of my interactive smart home. If you look closely, you can see a small photo of me on the top. Kosmos is the voice of wisdom and empowerment I wish I had in…

Journaling is a superpower
If there’s one thing that helped me more than daily blogging, it’s daily journaling. Yes, you read that right. Apart from the daily blog post, on most days I also write privately on paper for 10-30 minutes. On the surface there doesn’t seem to be much difference between the two, but to me it’s an…

Pictures of the soul
Can you imagine? I have an entire art gallery that fits in my purse. Every single picture in it is incredibly emotional and touching. I love surrounding myself with beautiful objects, and these are not just beautiful, but also allow me learn a lot about myself. These are the best images of Deborah Koff-Chapin, which…

Humbled
I am But a seed What grows out of me Wasn’t mine To choose Entire Universes Flow through me From the Source No more belonging to me Than a cup Contains the river Each time I get to die a little bit And surrender Each time I am humbled By my own creation
