…I am listening to a Human Trust opus lecture from many weeks ago (I am always behind on it – not only because I had an accident) and I hear Veit say: „sometimes life gives us a run. A wave were everything just falls into place.“

He said: „enjoy it, breath deep and WATCH YOUR FEET, WATCH YOUR STEP. Keep your feet on the earth. Keep grounded.“

Sometimes life gives you a run.

Yes. This is how I felt during the last weeks before the accident. For over a year I have been working really hard on the projects around DANCE and therapy. It felt like I finally found IT, what I was supposed to do all my life. I could literally feel, how every step of the way prepared me for it to get to here.

And I got this run. For months we were hoping that our intense preparation for a seminar will pay-off and the Human Trust will allow us to teach in their summer camp. And then….they did.

We were hoping for new spaces that we approached, new collaborations, like with the herofestival (Heldenfestival) from the great Mittermairs, Sabine’s Tanzwerkstatt in Ingolstadt, the Agape Zoe in Berlin…..they all were open to us.

Seminar ideas that include my beloved mountains started to arise with my mentor Rachana, a plan of a KAIZEN-retreat build up in my head and ideas kept spinning and the solutions for every question simply showed up out of nowhere. I felt supported by the universe. Felt supported by the strong feeling of doing the right thing. Of having found THIS, what I came here to do. This, what will make a difference in life for others, through my very own particular skills and my very own being ME.

Every minute for the next weeks was booked out in preparation for all the above.

I felt fit, alive and in the right spot.

Life has given me this run, that Veit spoke about.

And then…life took it away.

Just like that.

So, I WAS stopped. This was clear to me.

And I asked myself: What is KAIZEN for me today?

Through all the pain and all the disappointment; through all the fear and not-understanding – I felt deep down – with no doubt – there is a lecture to learn here.

Today, KAIZEN means to me, to listen and not overhear the voice inside that says: everything happens for a reason. And it is always a good reason. (Even if I hated this voice inside at this moment).

In a radical change of plans in your life. Unexpected. Brutal at times. What is KAIZEN FOR YOU then?

Truly & from the ♥
