This is an incredibly moving and inspiring interview. Anthony Robbins interviews 108 year old Alice Herz Summer, a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp.
Usually this is something that women tend not to speak about: Birthdays. They hint at age, and ageing is often seen as a weakness in our society. I feel and always have felt different. To me the ageing process is something wonderful – and obviously inevitable.
In one way I have always felt ageless or not the age I was. When I was a little girl I used to have dreams of being an old women, with white hair, sitting on the porch of a house somewhere in the Austrian countryside. I felt in harmony with nature and life, quietly rejoicing watching people and life happening in front of my eyes. I felt fulfilled with a sense of peace, expansiveness, aliveness and silence. I couldn’t quite understand the people around me, all the rules and regulations. It seemed strange to stop life from flowing because of do’s and dont’s but I was offered many good reasons and explanations and I learned to comply. Read more »

I’m learning that loving myself means not doing anything to evolve, but just doing things because they look like fun – and there may be evolution involved along the way, yes! But choosing to take actions (or workshops) or ‘work’ on a certain personal issue feels unloving to myself where I am right NOW. As if doing so is making a statement that ‘Jamie is not OK like this, we need to make changes’. How violent that feels to me now. Read more »
Over the past days I’ve been on quite a journey. I’m endlessly grateful for and deeply humbled by my experiences. I touched upon something very deep in my core, and got to see and feel the addiction and identification with it, the attachment to this story, the power of thoughts and beliefs, the roots of war. It’s humbling and amazing to learn once again how deep and far some triggers can go. It feels like I can suddenly see my life story! What a blessing and relief to see.
Deep down I totally believed that “I was lied to”. A powerful source that fuelled behaviour as a victim, and reacting righteously angry in hurt and defence. Although this is certainly not all I am, I came to see this deep underlying survival pattern that has been driving most of my actions and thinking in subtle and sometimes quite obvious ways.

Excerpt from an email from Paul Lowe to his list today.
A Sufi saying: “Life is a bridge – don’t try and build a house on it.”
So look at this possibility: Life is to be lived. Lived!!!
Not to be observed, studied, understood, but Lived. If you have done anything before, it is old. This dimension is so vast there is no need to keep doing the same thing, in the same place, in the same way, with the same people. Really: “Take no thought of the morrow” – live.
Looking at what’s been happening in the world the past weeks I came to see once again the insignificance and yet the preciousness of a single life, including mine.
It’s such an easy thing to feel touched by what I read in the newspapers, then make a donation, write a few emails to friends encouraging them to do so too, and yet turn away without really taking it in – all the way.
I have spent hours watching, reading and researching about the Haiti earthquake. Then, I came across this article from Katie Couric “The Human Face of Haitian Tragedy” on the Huffington Post. Read more »
“The only conductor to ever lead the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra, Zander is a prophet of human potential and an unrivaled champion of joie de vivre. Watch as he helps unlock the boundless potential of a 15 year old cellist and teaches the entire audience what it means to live in a world of possibility.”
I love this inspiring talk. Zander is radiating and alive, simply wonderful! Just finished watching it with my 13 year old son who is learning to play the bass guitar. He was touched, and I watched him swinging with the music.
Over the last weeks I’ve received lots of really lovely feedback about our web site either via email or in personal conversations.

And some notice something being stirred. Thank you guys! I’m grateful. It feels really good to hear from you. This is encouraging to keep going. Read more »
We held our first official meditation class last night from our home. I wanted to share a little bit about what it means for me personally. For a while now I have been wanting to express a creative urge that needed a certain kind of outlet and I think it’s beginning to find its platform. Read more »
