In „ A Different Reality“ by Fredric Mau i found such a beautiful metaphor. Just want to share it. 😍 (He says that to a traumtised , bitter and resignated 60 year old female with a long therapy- history ) I'm a wilderness guide. I've been through a lot of dark forests. I have the skills for it—I can start a fire in the rain, and pitch a tent. I've been through a lot of wildernesses, my own and other people's. But I have never been through your forest before, and I don't know what we'll encounter. I don't know the path through. But I know I can be with you and help you, and together we will find a path through the wilderness. It will have to be your path, because it is your forest." Does this resonate with you? 🏕️🥾🪾

First off Happy new year to you all. Hope you all have some nice memories of the festive break and are working towards your goals for the year ahead. I am going to have to cancel and reschedule this today as something has come up last minute. Apologies for the late notice. Will reschedule in the next few days. With love and gratitude, Rowan x

Wishing you a calm, warm Christmas, whatever today looks like for you, busy house, quiet room, or somewhere in between. For 2026, I’m wishing you three things: - More ease in your body and life - More things to hold gratitude for - More wins you can actually feel If you’re up for it, drop one intention for 2026 in the comments, one thing you want to practise, or one way you want to show up, as a seeker or as a facilitator. Merry Christmas, and a strong start to 2026.

I am curious about hypnosis, how it works and what it can be useful for. Therfore i would like to start a thread for scientific input. Like papers and links to resources. Please feel free to add here, when you find interesting information! Thanks!

At the ukhc James Coates did a demonstration of his „heart hug- a somatic induction“ that i enjoyed very much. Here you can see a youtube video of him with a client: https://youtu.be/4NF6veQHA3Y?si=LEMKKU99zpVb4Bhb Also, science seems to dig deeper into this mind body - body mind connection. And maybe starts to explain the healing capacity of massage and strokes and hugs like in havening mesmerism and tapping etc. (I add a paper to the science thread…)
