36 Gestalte deinen Dezember achtsamer

In dieser Solo-Folge spreche ich darüber, wie Meditation wieder Teil meines Alltags geworden ist. Nach 34 Tagen am Stück Meditation merke ich: Es geht nicht darum, perfekt auf dem Kissen zu sitzen. Manchmal meditiere ich im Bett, manchmal nur mit halbem Kopf dabei. Und trotzdem wirkt es. Ich erzähle von meiner Erfahrung mit Insight Timer, einer App, die ich schon lange kenne, aber erst jetzt wirklich für mich entdeckt habe. Dort teile ich eigene Meditationen: Kurse fürs bessere Schlafen, für Bürostress, zur Selbstreflexion – und ganz neu: einen Achtsamkeits-Dezember mit 31 Türchen für jeden Tag im Dezember. Ich spreche auch über die Community dort: echte Wertschätzung und das Gefühl, dass mein Tun Menschen wirklich erreicht. Diese Folge ist eine Einladung: falls du gerade nach mehr Ruhe, Lebendigkeit und mehr Stille suchst, dann komm dazu.

35 [Female Voices] Diagnose Brustkrebs: ein Gespräch mit Farnas Gahanbas

Sie ist 31 als sie die Diagnose bekommt: Brustkrebs. Ein Schlag ins Gesicht. Farnas wusste sofort, sie hat jetzt zwei Möglichkeiten, sich zurückziehen, die Diagnose betrauern, sich selbst bemitleiden oder die Diagnose und die Krankheit annehmen und ihr Leben einmal umzukrempeln. In dieser Episode sprechen Farnas und ich darüber, wie der Moment der Diagnose für Farnas war. Wie es überhaupt dazu kam, dass die Diagnose gestellt wurde oder auch gestellte werden konnte. Und wir sprechen darüber, welchen Wandel Farnas seit der Diagnose vollzogen hat. Wie leicht es ihr fiel, ihr Leben zu ändern und wie sie seitdem gesund lebt und was Motivation und Disziplin damit zu tun haben. Falls du selbst mit Farnas auch mal sprechen magst, wenn du Fragen hast, wie sie bestimmte Momente erlebt und durchlebt hat, dann kontaktiere sie gerne über ihre Social Media Profile.
