Yes! Yoga and ayurveda is about the same. Connecting to your soul, where health and balance exist. If you know you are having unbalances on any level, ayurveda is a physical tool you can use, besides also working with the psychology and spirituality. It's not just about food, but about working with your personal nature to regain balance and happiness so yes, try find your vikruti, maybe with an internet test.. or a doctor/guide.

Challenge yourself, jump out in/say yes to the opportunities to do what you are afraid of. And then use/study acceptance to tell yourself that your awkwardness is ok.

Go take some yoga or meditation class to find likeminded people? Also find a local burn community; they often care much about radical authenticity. I share my process with few good friends, even though they're not in it as I am. And then my parents are also interested in my thoughts and development if I really need to talk about it.

Positive update I have just got taken blood tests today. I got a "proof" from my doctor so I can take to a professional gynecologist for free. I got an appointment with a therapist sunday. And I might get my first job (which is not about my previously atempt to become a gardenere) this thursday! So things are going pretty smooth today :'D I'm being ambitious about my future and I love to make plans. Right now I'm thinking about buying some land in Sweden and get another dog to be with me in the forests <3 I will use the time in a house(hopefully homemade) where I can study some of the stuff I want. Something about contructing schoolsubjects and more. Aaaand I have signed up for studying dance for half a year at my school in Copenhagen. Dance provide exercise, but it's really a way of expressing my nature and excitement of majesty. Uuuh and the costumes I can make! Oh and I want to do more mental peacework to be even more grounded. And of course I am reading my books and watching Leo's videos, I really love the content!

There is going to be a festival in Copenhagen 27. may - 29. may about authentic relating. A copy of the description: We are very excited to announce the first Danish Authentic Relating Festival! ¯¨'*·~-.¸¸,.-~*' 'THE VISION ¨'*·~-.¸¸,.-~* We dream of a world where people relate to each other in a more authentic way... and we seem to dream not alone: in the recent years an abundance of practices have emerged, which work from a level of vulnerability and honesty, sharing in the present moment what we most deeply are. The vision of Authentic Relating Festival 2016 is to gather and showcase the richness of these fascinating practices that are being taught and practiced in Denmark and to create a space to connect and build a larger community around them. ¯¨'*·~-.¸¸,.-~*' 'THE PROGRAMME ¨'*·~-.¸¸,.-~* You will be able to participate in: ** CIRCLING ** IMPROVISED PARTNER DANCING ** AUTHENTIC RELATING GAMES ** SOCIAL MEDITATION ** NON-VIOLENT COMMUNICATION ** BLINDFOLD DANCE ** NORDIC LARP ** SOCIAL PRESENCING THEATER ** SPEAKING CIRCLES And more!

@BHL_20 D:

@Endew I think it's about getting your knowledge for the different complications we meet in life. But I would love to know which words he use so I can search them up

At 36:06 - 37:00, with the second pillar, can someone help me on what he is saying? Maybe write it in nice english :-P and maybe just write the words he is saying, I can't hear them (also because I probably don't know them).

Nice with the inspiration from you all. So today, ten of my values are: Wisdom Innocence, being and embracing Honesty, intimacy and trust Caring, may be protecting Solitude, especially in nature: feeling one with earth and space Mastery, creating Comfort, feeling good Openmindedness Sensuality Leadership

Hmm. So today Im skipping school. I got on the bus and when I was supposed to get off, I didn't move. I had some weird pain in my body and I haven't had enough breakfast, I would be dizzy and not focused. But another reason is also my mood, maybe being the cause of the two other reasons. I will tell about my yesterday and some other thoughts. So my friend (the guy from the other story) had invited some of his family home, much because his mother wanted to see me again. So I had told him the day before that I would help with the cleaning of the kitchen in his appartment where there had become very messy (due to both of us). So I start at 13:00, it takes me two hours, and I continue with other cleaning in the appartment. He is stressed when he come home. He chose some complicated food to make and is busy, the guest will arrive at 18:00. Soo he is all over the place complaining, annoyed that he have to use all the things that had just been cleaned, because he will hate to do it again. I help him with the food, he complains as usual, and we get done maybe at 19:00. Sooo yeaah, the guests are talking about my friend's sister's boyfriend, how outgoing he is and how that is nice. Me and my friend heard it from the kitchen, and he comment that I should just talk... I say I don't like to feel pressed and I don't want to live up to others expectations. So it didn't start out good. I never said much, and his mother also commented that I should just interrupt. Well when the guest leaved, my friend was annoyed that I wasn't impressed of the food. I made the half of it, and he chose it. I have some eating problems, and in general do my own family make a little different food which I prefare, so I was honest and said I didn't really care much about it, it tasted fine though. Ahh! Problem. I don't remember how, but in ten minutes it ended out with that I should move my teapot and my menstrual bands(or what it's called). I got in bed early and felt like shit. Normally I can take his bad attitude, but it was too much right here. I felt people don't like me for who I am. I felt not accepted. I felt lonely. I thought about angry adults in my childhood. I thought about my innocence and willpower. I thought about how fake I feel we all are. I thought about how I don't want to be anywhere and maybe just not existing, at least as this person I am now. But also I have been visualizing and fearing too much on how people will kill me. I thought about how I could feel I was victimizing myself, and how I didn't like it. I thought about my whole situation and how everything would be if I stopped seeing him, because I really like some of his friends, and Im afraid that I will have no one. Even though I think I will manage, and I think some of them will see me anyway. I hate how he is annoyed inside and when his family come he seems turning the "trying to" niceguy outwards. It is a problem for me that he has that temper. For some time I have accepted it and roll eyes and ignored his comments. But last night I really saw that I can't deal with it. It takes on me, and I don't think it's worth much anymore. So my plan is to talk(write) with him this afternoon, and just tell him what I think. There is a lot to say. It was funny his family talked about how inmates in prison in U.S get calls from danish girls who want to be their lovers/girlfriends. And they couldn't reason it. "Danish men didn't call the women in prison to hook up with them... hø hø" Until one said that girls have that mother instict where they want to save a guy. And I felt like a fool. My plan today is nothing but development. Im going to continue reading my book Radical Honesty, and I will do some more writing on my feelings and thoughts. I should add eating to that plan. I feel sad and tired, but I feel less attached right now. It's like it have gone too far. It was nice to hear my mothers smiling laugher when I got home this morning :b

Read books on every topic and go to school :-P take it slow and focus on your wellbeing.

My friend(intimate) is also once in a while, when he is hurt, talking about that since I got into personal development everything between us has become worse, then he ask: don't you think so? And I'm like: no, I haven't felt this happy and in control since maybe when I was a child. I'm not so good at coming up with advice. Maybe it's also just to reflect upon and you will find out if your husband, friend and family just has to adjust. But else I would think it's now about getting even deeper in touch with yourself, dealing(feeling) with your emotions and then carry on.

If it's a bad thing, then you can find vegan bread and cheese too. You can find fake meat and make "copies" of all the famous recipes of your country. In that way your meal should be ok heavy. There is also a lot of plant milks so you could make milkshakes/smoothies. Also with a blender you can make various spreads for bread, if you want to eat bread at all.

No I became vegan when I heard it existed when I was 16. Before I was vegetarian and before that I ate meat. My mothers family is always cool when it comes to making something for us vegans/vegetarians (my sister is trying to be vegan and my brother and mother prefer vegetarian food), with my fathers family, it's not that they don't want to do something for us, they are just very unfamiliar with that kind of eating and they are getting older and struggle much even with their own food. So with them we always make something at home and eat it at their house. At the beginning they thought it was stupid but they have come to accept it. So I would say, if the family you are visiting isn't making something for you or don't know how, then just say that you will take care of it, and maybe they would even wanna try what you make for yourself. But I hope it will turn well for you and that you'll enjoy it

As the video I linked also explains: There is some deeper layer of guilt which blocks a person from doing what he know he should be doing.
