Scared of your own emotions?

Have you ever been afraid of your own emotions? Feeling that you don´t have the control over them that you would like?

I believe it is very common.

Your body is so smart. And the body and mind rather push things away then to deal with it.

I also believe that a lot of habits and stuff can be stuck in our bodies without us being aware of it. The body is probably reacting to it but not in the way that is obvious.

It´s not that the mind will figure out exactly why you are feeling stressed, anxious or having pains in your physical body.

I believe that listen to the actual physical body is the answer. Listen and feeling our body and by follow our intuition of what to do, we can release the negative emotions, patterns and stuff.

By really listen to your body and knowing how to work the body.

How does this sound to you?

I am all up in this right now. Cause this is what my upcoming online course is about.

When your mind ignores your worries, your body does the talking. What’s your body telling you?

Stop feeling tired and have the energy to do everything you want for your life.

What if you could release emotional issues and stop the aches and pains,  what if you could release it by knowing how to, and find the true reason for your suffering.

What if by massaging and taking care of yourself will get your stress level down and make the anxiety go away.

This is a 4 week course where you will go through your body and mind bit by bit and though that, get to know yourself on a whole other level. And from that hopefully find the true source of issues.

I will be there along the way during the 4 weeks, but you can complete the course whenever best suits you as well. Once you have signed up, it is yours for life.

I will offer the first 10 spots for free so if you are interested in this course, email me at: info@nuadthaiyoga.com and claim your spot!

Your turn to take action; comment below and share of what you do to take care of your emotional and physical well being, maybe what you do can help someone else.

Want your mind to just shut up? Try this

Have you ever felt that you just can´t shut your mind off? Maybe it´s nothing special that is bothering you. Things are just fine, but somehow your mind is just flattering in front of you like a drunk butterfly?

I have had that many times in my life. And deep inside I know that the reason is that I am doing it to myself. But I could not really put my finger on how or why it happens.

Sure, I have turned my phone and TV of from time to time and just being in silence, but still it did not get me as calm as I had hoped.

the noble silence in the 10-days mediation course I went to this summer answered this question.

Truthfully I could not really understand the whole "noble silence" thing in the beginning. it sounded good in theory but I did not understand the real reason for it.

After 9 days of silence I had noticed that mediation was not as hard as I had thought. It´s hard in many ways but I noticed that I got my mind to quiet down a little faster each day.

Day 10 arrived which ment that the noble silence was over, and we all could talk to each other. The teacher also said that it would not be any serious mediation going on at this day.

I did not truly got what the teacher ment until we all started talking.

It was a chock, all the voices, the noise level, peoples energies, everything just rushed trough the whole center. My whole being felt very stressed and nervous.

After talking it was time for our first hour of mediation of the day, and that is when I realized what the teacher had talked about. The mediation got 100 times harder. Everything I heard in the last few hours just took over my mind, and that was pretty much it for a while until I got my mind a little calmer.

So, here came one of the revitalization.

If a couple of hours of talking and outer influences makes it hard for myself to calm the mind down. No wonder that many times in my regular life that I find it so hard to calm my mind down. Cause it´s not all talking and listening. It´s being out in the society, other peoples energies, social media, iPhone, emails, phone calls, test messages,

here is a list with what you need to get to get your mind so calm down:

- Someone reminding you everyday to focus on the moment, each and every moment.

- Whenever you start to think to much, you need someone to remind you to stop thinking and be in the moment.

- Someone who decides when you can check emails, Facebook and other things.

- Someone that will keeps track on your reactions to outer things, and then keep you from not reacting.

sounds great, right?

And no the list is not at all serious,

What you can do is to start become aware of all the outer influences that you account er, and watch yourself and see how you react.

A small change can also help you not to react.

Try this:

- close your eyes and tune into your breath. Don´t try or think to much about it. Just close your eyes and feel your breath going in and out of your nostrils.

- every time you breath out, relax your whole body completely. Do this a couple of times, and see if you can come back into your body.

See if this helps to calm your mind.

My new thing is to stop watching or reading stuff on TV or the computer that makes me feel overwhelmed with any kind of feelings. Cause it effects me in a very bad way. It makes me stressed and unfocused on the things that matters.

Is there anything you watch or do that make you feel anxious, nervous or scared? Maybe try being without it one or a couple of hours or days and see if you feel a difference in your life and mind?

This is a a part of what my online program ResetToHappy will be about. Check out for more info very soon.

Why I kept eating when I was not hungry

Why? Cause it has taken me my whole life so far to realize that I was not listening to my body. 
I thought I was listening to my body. When I thought I was hungry I eat, when I thought needed sleep, I rested.

The problem was I never really felt satisfied, Not food wise, and I just kept getting more tired.

Then, a couple of years ago something started stirring inside me.

I started reading about mindfulness (which was pretty much a new concept for me) and articles about what the feeling of hunger and different reasons to feeling tired is.

I have had a deeper source or understanding far down in my mind, but it was not before a couple of years ago that I started to understand what it really was.

That was when I realized that what I thought was hunger was not really hunger, what I thought was me needing rest, that was not true either.

What was wrong?

To cut it short – I had been listening to my emotions my entire life, instead of my physical body.
That was when things got much clearer.

I started noticing that when I felt any emotions. happy, sad, stressed, my mind went straight to what I should put inside my body, to eat. Because my mind did not want to stay in that state, or if it was a good emotion, like happiness, it was looking for a bigger kick.

I noticed that when I started to exercise more, and eat better I got less tired, and my sleep patterns got much healthier. I still love (and need) to sleep, but I can now see a difference in when I need to rest, and when I need to get my booty moving.

This was the beginning of a long journey of self work and realization.

I have been working hard on getting to know my own body, physically and mentally, it will be a life time learning, and it´s a very interesting one.
I have come so far from just a couple of years ago when I was not sure about what my body was telling me.

Now after much studying of my Nuad Thai Yoga practice, anatomy, mindfulness, spiritual and other amazing mentors and teachers, I want to share what I have learn t to you.

If you are struggling with your own body and the connection between thoughts, emotions (self care) and what your body is really telling you, I am creating a program “ResetToHappy” where you will go through your entire body from feet to head, where you step by step will experience your body and the connection with your mind on the way. It all will coll-orate with meditation and breathing.

I believe that the connection and understanding where we keep tension and emotional blockages in our body, can help us understand so much about ourselves– and from that release old habits and patterns – from that – get back to happy into our body and mind.

Take action for some self realization, I would love to hear your thoughts.

What do you listen more to? Your mind or body, and why?
