In reality, there is no real separation between body and mind, but for logic’s sake, I’m going to treat them as separate in this text. Our minds have this incredible ability to come up with stories about everything. It is their job, to make sense of all the stimuli we pick up through our senses …
As I wrote in my previous post, the purpose of routines is so that you can trust that you will be there for yourself on your path in life. I get that many routines are more to make “life work”, but I wonder, what is this life that is supposed to work? And more importantly, …
With fall approaching you might be one of those people craving a “new life” with new routines. But what are routines really? To start from the very beginning, there is much talk about setting healthy routines for babies so the baby can rest assured in and of predictability in this unpredictable world. Some parents follow …
To write in English or not.. I’ve made a few posts in Swedish now even though I mentioned some posts ago that I would write in English. It all of a sudden felt natural to write in Swedish, just as it now feels natural to write in English. What do you prefer? Does it matter …

Being a mother I get the best practice of my life – if I dare to show up to it. Let me explain what I mean. My child is a perfect mirror of what I’m up to. I can see how she picks up my tendencies, my words, and my behaviors. Sometimes it’s cute and …
During this morning’s meditation, my thoughts led me, as pretty usual, to planning. I felt doubt (which is also pretty usual being me) about how to proceed on certain matters. What is the best course of action? How can I make this as smooth as possible? With as little unpleasantness as possible? I am a …
