As we all know and have experienced, life isn’t always smooth. There is ebb and flow. Sometimes there are small waves that are easy to ride, and sometimes enormous waves that are difficult to surf even for the most skillful. But we make the best of what life throws at us and keep moving forward and evolving.

There sometimes are certain incidents that irrevocably alter the course of your life. They may be rather dramatic and, by definition, disruptive, like a big "Tsunami" completely knocking you off your feet. If the event is powerful enough, it will change the focus of your heart and mind, and the rest of your life will follow suit. You are literally not the same person. Your interests change, your ambitions shift, and the fundamental purpose of your existence alters. Yes, it generally necessitates a major event to tilt your head so far that you never look back.

I experienced that in 2012. It was very disruptive and left me broken for quite some time. I no longer knew who I was, why I was here, where to go,  for what purpose I was here, my Goals and Dreams - all gone. It’s been a combination of mental and emotional exhaustion, depression, sadness and burnout all at once. The only things I had left from that experience were my old Mercedes, my two dogs, and my passport. Within a few days, I had lost all I had, including my partner, my house, my business, my money, friends, and the dream project we had been working on.  

Looking back 10 years, I'm amused to see how I defined my existence mostly by exterior items and belongings and by dreams others had, and I blindfolded followed. But nothing was amusing at the time. I was devastated and in a state where individuals are generally sent to a clinic for expert assistance. However, I did not want to return to Switzerland, and Morocco did not offer the kind of health care I was looking for. Especially because I was seeking for a natural way out of my predicament. Therefore, I had to take care of myself if I wanted to continue living where I was. That's when I began exploring for all-natural, efficient, and holistic ways to heal and get back into the flow of life. Through these turbulent times, Energy Medicine, self-help literature, time spent in nature, and my pets served as my lifeline and anchor.

It was a challenging and fascinating voyage, but also a long one … I wish I had known then, all I know now and I’d had access to the support and coaching, I have today! However, this was not the case. So, one step at a time, I pushed my way through the gloom, the anxiety, the very low moods, the negativity, victimization, the withdrawal from social life, the feelings of impending doom and the being very angry with the world. I gradually made my way back to the light. Return to the Flow,  to the Happy Flow as I say (and also my company name :-) Being in that zone allows miracles to occur.
