The Mother Wound and Its Impact on Romantic Relationships

Why do you keep attracting the same kind of partner?

It often has nothing to do with your partner.
And everything to do with your past.
We don’t just choose a partner.
We unconsciously choose someone who feels familiar.
Someone who mirrors what we know.
Someone who activates what is unresolved.
Often, that leads back to one relationship:

Your relationship with your mother.

Not because she did something wrong —
but because no parent can meet every need.
And what remains unmet…
doesn’t disappear.
It shows up in your relationships.

👉 In expectations
👉 In triggers
👉 In emotional reactions

Awareness is where things begin to shift.

The Role of Mothers

The Role of Mothers
For every person, the family of origin plays a fundamental role in their development. At a very basic level, we all have a deep, instinctive need to belong. Our survival depends on being part of a group — a system that protects us, supports us, and allows us to exist.
The first and often most important group we belong to is our family of origin.
Within this family, the mother holds a unique and essential position.
Mother is our first connection to life

Life After Soul Retrieval

The First Experiences After Soul Retrieval

Many people report feeling more present after such a ritual: lighter, more alert, less dreamy, and stronger within themselves. It is also common for people to notice changes in their senses. Colors may appear brighter, sounds clearer, and smells more vivid.
In other words, there is often a renewed connection with the physical body. One feels more fully embodied again.
During the first few days, this can sometimes lead to a mild sense of disorientation. The healing still needs time to settle and find its place within the body and consciousness.
Similar experiences are sometimes reported after a family constellation.

What Is Soul Loss? Understanding Soul Loss and Soul Retrieval

Many people know the feeling that something is missing inside them, without being able to explain exactly what it is. As if a part of their energy, aliveness, or presence was left somewhere along the way.
In many shamanic traditions, this phenomenon is called soul loss: the idea that parts of our soul can separate from us when experiences become too overwhelming or painful. According to these traditions, the loss of soul parts may contribute to feelings of emptiness, reduced vitality, and sometimes even physical or psychological complaints.
The process of bringing these parts back — soul retrieval — is seen as a way to reconnect with our life force and restore a sense of inner wholeness.

Human Beings Are More Than a Physical Body

Are human beings only physical bodies?

Many spiritual traditions suggest otherwise.
In shamanism, anthroposophy, and Hinduism, the human being is seen as composed of several layers or bodies.

In my new article, I explore these different layers — the physical, etheric, astral and mental body — and how we can experience and strengthen them.

Epstein, You and Me: On the Masculine and the Feminine

When we hear the name Jeffrey Epstein, we think of abuse, power, corruption and moral decay. Of a man who was able to exploit young girls for years while a network of influential people looked away. Of elites protecting one another. Of a system that failed.

Jeffrey Epstein is dead.
But the dynamics that enabled him are still alive.

The direction of the East

The Wheel of the four directions forms one of the basic ground plans in which a systemic ritual takes place. The Wheel of the four directions works with the qualities of the four cardinal directions, which means no more than the conscious application of the universal cycle of ‘coming’ / ‘being’ / ‘going’ / ‘rest’ and all associated qualities. The Wheel brings order, depth, insight, and balance to the mental, emotional, and soul levels. In this blog you can read more about the Direction of the East.

Time for New Beginnings

On February 4, 2026, the sun stands exactly halfway on its journey from the Tropic of Capricorn to the equator. Astronomically, this marks the precise midpoint between winter and spring. This day is known as a cross-quarter day and is recognised in various traditions as Imbolc or Candlemas. The Earth slowly begins to warm. TheContinue reading “Time for New Beginnings”
