Making Peace With The Past

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

I have been I week back in my “home town” and will have one more. Over all these years since I left I have come back and even lived here for a few years and never felt at ease.
Actually the contrary, a lot of resentment, sadness and other negativ feelings that I just couldn’t shake off.
I know it sounds weird and you probably can’t hear it anymore, but I do feel I have to give the credit to the Human Garage.
The shift that the fascial work created in me are subtle and at the same time profound.

I can see the beauty of Bad Harzburg like others do and feel a healthy detachment now.
In the past I was not able to enjoy my walk with my new dog around the area, because of the memories of my beloved dog I had to let go of here. The sadness is not anymore pulling at my heart so heavily and overpowering the deep gratitude I feel for the time I was allowed to spend with my beautiful soul mate.

My situation with my parents over my life time has been anything else than ideal and peaceful. For the first time I could meet them open hearted without judgment or fear to get emotionally slapped. I choose where I comment on and where to be quiet without the negativ feeling rising up. I don’t feel the need to protect myself from them anymore, because of the peace I feel inside.

I have been teaching a fascial maneuver and restorative yoga workshop this weekend. The people that joint, I used to teach rehabilitation classes and yoga to. They asked me if I don’t want to come back. As flattering as it is to be asked and appreciated, after all I still wouldn’t want to live here again. But I leaned by now – never say never!

I learn to really listen more to myself and act accordingly. There is still the constant pull to satisfy other people and their needs before mine, but each time I choose myself instead it feels like a win. Giving myself the love and attention first will have a ripple effect on all the people around me.

The Experience Of Reuniting With Old Friendships

My dear Yogis and Yoginis,

I am not sure if I traveled as far as I could, but I definitely didn’t live longer in one place than 4 years 😉
This trip has been very different for me though, because of not taking any airplanes.
It is just my dog and I having this extensive road trip over this summer to (re-) connect with old friends.

I never drove so relaxed my car over such a long period of time. I could stay calm even in aggravating situations. All of this that thanks to the Human Garage and there fabulous Fascial Maneuvers!
As I was taking a long walk with a friend up near Hamburg we talked about this 2 months trip as my personal “Way of St. James”.  I won’t return as the same person back to Spain. I think even my dog will have changed to certain extend.

I drove by now over 2000 km to see friends from different times of life and last week it went even as far back as 36 years. I reunited with around 25 Up With People family members and some came with their families.
At times I was very overwhelmed by being with so many people together from the morning till late at night. So much input, output and inspiration all at once. Sharing our stories, emotions and simply enjoying each others company. Being able to be our authentic self without judgment is priceless.
They asked me to teach a yoga class and I also shared twice the full body stress reset (Fascial Maneuver) with them. What a heart warming experience to be appreciated by this amazing bunch of people. Some of them received a yogassage from me which was a wonderful way for me to connect with them on an other level.

Saying good-bye is not my strength, but now after I left, I feel overjoyed by the richness and love I feel inside for my UWP Family and this wonderful opportunity to spend quality time together!
