Today, 13 May, marks the start of Death Awareness / Dying Matters week. I’m passionate about this subject as I feel that many people see death, dying and grief as taboo subjects, making it difficult to talk about these painful, but important areas. This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, guilt, depression and more….

I looked at a previous painting. I started to read it again. Yesterday I read it psychologically (which you didn’t see), and the reading shifted to a bigger view of all psychology, as I’ve been doing lately. Obviously I am in a stage, in which I notice more and more the superficiality of the psychological…

I was born in Israel and my parents were idealistic pioneers. They built Israel from nothing, with all the others there of course. They wanted social justice, a place to live and grow their food, a place where they could have a country and a piece of land and they wanted their children to be…

As this last post of Stress Awareness Month, I thought I’d look at the wisdom that we hold within ourselves. Our bodies know how to be well, it’s just that often we have disconnected from that wisdom. If we can find a way to reconnect and re-member that wisdom (as Neale Donald Walsch might say)…

Like Italo Calvino, who wrote about cities that never were, I too write. It is about our reality. Sometimes a living thing appears and it is a miracle that it stands at all. It stands for a very short time indeed, when there is no wind of course, without too many sets of eyes to…

When we’re feeling stressed, the first thing to remember is just to Breathe! Breathing is so important! Obviously it keeps us alive… but more than that, it gives feedback to the body on how stressed or calm we are. When we pay attention to our breath, just observing it and noticing how deep/shallow & slow/rapid it is, this will give us information…

All the colors stand around me, in bottles, tubes and pencils. They are looking quietly at what I do. What will I say? They are my audience now. I love them. They can do infinite things. They do not really look. I know. It is the whole who looks. The infinite listening-with-the-heart. The heart-of-listening. His…

Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? Stress plays a huge part in our sense of inner balance and wellbeing. Often we become accustomed to a certain level of stress and no longer notice that it’s there. It has become our ‘norm’. But it’s still having an impact on our health and…

There are the lines and there are the color shapes. They seem to describe the same thing but they have very different perspectives. Sometimes, in other paintings, the lines and the shapes do not necessarily describe the shame thing. If we compare this to music, then those paintings are like counterpoint. The lines have a…

Mooji showed up in front of me, when I was going through videos to enjoy but I moved on every time. Now I stopped and let him speak. He is like an old friend that I love deeply. So my heart opens. What will he say now? In everything that he says and in the…

I’ve started to write this blog in my head so many times but not yet had the opportunity to ‘put pen to paper’ – or as I do more often these days, put fingertips to keys! Each inner draft has seen the content shift and change, reflecting my sense that everything around me is shifting…

Being tired and in pain I became sad. Pain is a simple thing but living with it creates additional problems. Now all of them weighed on me. I thought: I can’t go on like this any more. I did not even paint yesterday and today. My friend from Germany called. We started to talk and…
