What guides me

Since 2013, I have been engaged in the practice of Zen, currently under Zen Master Nakagawa Roshi at the Eisenbuch Zen Monastery. Since 2014, I have practiced Qigong, and since 2021 Tai Chi Chuan (Wu–Ma style) under Headmaster Shifu Zuan (Shaolin Temple Europe, Kaiserslautern) and Shifu Jürgen Meyer (Dao Center Völklingen – a direct student of Tai Chi Master Ma Jiangbao).

What´s the essence

“Flowing waters are not stagnant” – as a daoist saying goes.

When our energy (Chi) flows naturally, physical, emotional, or mental tensions can pass through us unhindered. Blocked energy is being released resulting in inner strength (NeiGung). The key is awareness (Ting) and relaxation (Sung). Harmony naturally emerges in all aspects of life.

The results of regular practice are

  • Serenity – we respond appropriately even in challenging situations.
  • Empathy and compassion – we develop a sense for our environment. 
  • Stability & resilience – we remain centered even in the face of resistance.
  • Agility – we are vital and adaptable.
  • Intuition – we are open to change, recognize, and utilize potentials.
  • Creativity – we find creative solutions.
  • Clarity & orientation – we follow our path with dedication and confidence.
  • Authenticity – we stand up for ourselves and follow our heart.

Tai Chi Chuan

„The lotus carves through stone, glides through water, and opens toward the sky.“

Through the practice of Tai Chi Chuan and Shaolin QiGong, we can cultivate our natural energy reserves.

  • Shaolin QiGong grants us strength, vitality, and relaxation.
  • Stability, coordination, and endurance are enhanced.
  • Resilience is strengthened – health and well-being are achieved.
  • Stress levels decrease – we become more composed – the quality of our interpersonal relationships rises.
  • The natural energy flow in the body is harmonized and strengthened – old energy can go – physical, mental, and emotional blockages dissolve – new energy flows to where it’s needed.

  • Meditation enhances our creativity, improves memory, and boosts concentration.
  • Simultaneously, meditation reduces stress and anxiety.
  • Ongoing development processes are encouraged.
  • The immune system and cell regeneration are strengthened.
  • Fosters empathy and compassion

EMDR – Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing

Resolving highly distressing events (traumas) effectively.

EMDR promotes the targeted and gentle processing of highly distressing events/blockages. Through bifocal stimulation (internal & external), a reorganization occurs. Disconnected resources (energy) are transformed and reintegrated, making them usable for us.

EMDR was developed in 1989 by American psychologist Francine Shapiro. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes EMDR as one of the most effective methods for treating post-traumatic stress disorder.

EMDR is also used to address:

  • Stress-related (chronic) pain (e.g., back problems)
  • Nervousness/anxieties (stage fright, fear of public speaking, exam anxiety, etc.)
  • Severe physical tension
  • Difficult decisions and intense (internal/external) conflicts
  • Intense emotional burdens/traumas (anger, grief, etc.)
