When I was very young, I was convinced that everything I saw in movies and I read in books are beautiful love stories, but they were stories that the reality would crush the day after the wedding. I felt that the emotions, the magic, the otherworldly adoration and glamorous love that seem to transcend time and space in literature and movies, all that have nothing to do with what I saw around me.

Ever since I moved to the UK, I have been constantly asking myself what experiences / lessons I have come here to learn. Well, when you ask questions, you get answers …
When I learned that I got the job and that I was going to be transferred from Romania to the UK, I admit I was not that excited. In my soul, after 25 years of work, I hoped to get away from the fixed-term employee life, from the crazy rhythm of logistics and especially from the commuting. I hoped that the meaning of my coming to the UK was, among other things, to be able to express myself differently, meaning helping people to make better choices for their lives through sport, nutrition, mindfulness …
How worried do we get when we think about excluding something from our daily diet (for example, the animal protein)! Suddenly, we start to be preoccupied with the macro nutrients and the fear of all sorts of deficiencies begins to haunt us. But things are so simple! When the body becomes clean, we no longer need to worry about nutrition, because when it comes to solving problems with digestion, absorption, utilization and disposal, by cleaning the lymphatic system, we understand that not nutrition heals, but the process of body cleansing, when we allow it to happen. We then have energy and feel hydrated and no worry will shade the way we feel (after a shorter or longer period). I’ve experienced eating “clean” and experienced eating “normal”. I could see and feel the difference. Right away. But I better let the experts talk about how simple things are:

When we are not in harmony, we are in disease (dis-ease). Not our body, but us. The disease (and the pain associated with it) is probably the only way we put our life on hold. At least until we feel better. We hate to be put on hold and so we are anxious to do everything and anything, so that we will get back quick to the way things were. We start fighting and struggling with the symptom, not understanding that the disturbance we feel is the red flag that helps us to be aware that something is not “right” inside us.
Someone wrote me, not too long ago, that “we easily lose and hardly win back our inner harmony”. Same person was asking me: “How do you keep your inner harmony?”
So, I asked myself: “How do I keep my inner harmony?” I try always to pay attention to the first answer that arises in my mind, without too muck thinking, as that first answer comes, most likely, from the heart, from the intuition and not from mind patterns or from judgmental thinking. The answer I got was: “You can not lose or win something that is always, but always within you“. I then said to myself: “Wait! But I do lose my balance sometimes!” The answer came right back to me: “That is what your mind wants you to believe.” I said: Right! So, that is why, each time I don’t feel o.k. with myself or with what is around me, I train my mind (because she stands in the way), not my inner harmony! That makes sense!
