Tools
I wanted to make a list of some of the tools I have found helpful and/or invaluable in my own life. They are all about relationships: To myself, others, Earth, the Universe...
Relationship to myself
Body/mind emphasis
- NAET
A treatment/elimination of any form of allergic reaction that I have found remarkably effective. We can have allergic type reactions to any element in our life, it can cause any symptom, and NAET seems to be effective in eliminating the allergic reactions.
- Natural Vision Improvement
Simple and (yes) natural excercies for the eye muscles. These corrected my nearsightedness to normal vision (as confirmed by my eye doctor). I do no longer need glasses and have no vision related headackes.
- Five Elements acupuncture
A form of acupuncture that always seem to have an immediate and profound effect.
- Neuromuscular Therapy
A very precise form of massage/bodywork that has significantly reduced my scoleosis.
- Applied Kineseology
Accessing bodyrelated information
- Feldenkrais
Western approach to body awareness through exploring deliberate and slow movements (allowing the mind the enter the body).
- Herbs - teas, infusions
- Acupressure/reflexology
Relationship to myself
Beyond and embracing body/mind
- Breema
A practice where simple and perennial principles are explored through bodywork, and applied in all areas of life. I experience it as Zen in motion.

- Tai Chi/Chi Gong
Mind/body connection, healing
