Katana means Sword. A slicing weapon. But also a lifetime philosophy.  Learning the Katana requires great patience, respect and endurance like  any other sword. It is how you use it that makes  it a great challenge;  You learn how to use your physical, mental and spirtual strengths like  no other type of sport. You learn to move like the flow of  water along  with your breathing technique. Both harmonise in every single movement  that you make.  The slower you move, the more challenging it becomes a  you pick up stamina and speed.

Introduction to this awesome sport with audio in the first part and demonstation video in the 2nd part. Enjoy :-)

Using mind over body through meditation towards exercising on a regular basis. First part of this podcast is discussing changing ones mindset and the rest is some jazzy music to get you going...

Like any new healthcare product, many wild myths and misconceptions surround CBD. This isn’t surprising considering that research into CBD is still very much ongoing, especially when it comes to its medical value.

Additionally, its popularity has grown at an unprecedented rate. Many brands and manufacturers are often competing with each other to produce new and unique CBD formulations.

This can create a lot of confusion about the compound. For instance, what’s the difference between broad and full-spectrum CBD oils?

As the market grows, this confusion can turn into misinformation. So, during this podcast, we’ll break down the 10 biggest myths and truths about CBD oil.

Podcast also available as a book. A beautiful bedtime story for young and old. It was a beautiful, sunny day and not a cloud in the sky. I decided to take a long stroll through the forest to the other side of the river. I packed my backpack with enough water and sandwiches for the days trip.

Somehow, I had the feeling that this was going to be no ordinary day. Sometimes we have this sixth sense in us that there is a magical karma happening around us, yet we can’t quite explain it. I just knew in my heart I was facing a moment of excitement.

Whilst I was walking on my favourite foot path, I came across 2 young monks wearing worn down sandals and a cotton sling bag over their shoulders. We greeted each other politely and continued walking together on the same pathway until we all stopped simultaneously in front of a bushy fig tree. One of them asked if I would like to join them under the shade of the tree to a small snack.

I didn’t hesitate too long and realized it would be rude to refuse their kind offer. I also offered my sandwiches in return. All three of us sat together under this fig tree in silence. Just enjoying the magnificent view in front of us. We were mindful of each other’s presence, yet far away in thought.

We were lost in time and space…just savouring my sandwiches and their homemade fruity biscuits.

This is a true story which took place in Chiang Mai, Northern Thailand. This is a dialogue which took place between myself and several Buddhist Monks in a Tuk-Tuk. We discussed the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path, and why this is so important in following the Buddhist Path of enlightenment.

"Journey of Discovery" through Buddha's teachings. Podcast of enlightenment. Many peoples lives are influenced through dogmas and fears. In this podcast I have taken the opportunity to use Buddha's way of teaching through stories and parables about the meaning of fear; The unskilled and skilled way of coping with fear. It is not easy to most people how to understand or interpret Buddha's way of thinking but it is only because we try to fight on two fronts: The materialistic and the spiritual. Please take time to listen to this podcast in its lengthy form to understand the simplicity of the message behind the discourse about Fear. It will give you new insights and growth in your personal development.

It truly is not complicated to understand Buddha’s teachings. We must just free our minds of all its clutter to stay focused on the importance of the deeper aspects of our beautiful existence and the symbiosis with nature and our spiritual beings.

This podcast looks at the true facts of Arthritis, the myths and what kind of treatment programs are available for sufferers. The question is Can Rheumatoid Arthritis Be Caused by Stress? Rheumotoid Arthritus (RA) is a chronic inflammatory joint condition and an autoimmune disease that can be caused by stress, according to research.

There is no definite cure; however, treatment can make its symptoms (pain and swelling) disappear for a while. This symptom-free period is referred to as “remission.” A remission is followed by the reappearance of symptoms, which is a period known as a flare-up.

Most forms of arthritis are thought to be caused by a fault in the immune system that causes the body to attack its own tissues in the joints. This may be inherited genetically. Other forms of arthritis can be caused by problems with the immune system or by a metabolic condition, such as gout.

Many people are looking for a relaxation method with which they can counteract the sensory overload and the disease-causing stress in their work and everyday life.

The isochronic tones, together with the binaural beats, can also be listened to without headphones, through normal loudspeakers, and have a relaxing or stimulating effect. These tones are used, for example, in music for meditation, learning or for Lucid dreaming.

I use the combination of these tones to musically accompany and support the shifting between all 3 states of consciousness, subconscious and the unconscious. In combination with nature sounds and melodies I want to create a calm and relaxed athmosphere in which you can relax, dream or fall into a deep sleep.
