Don’t break it

You have my heart, ‘don’t break it’, i keep saying to myself.

The way you don’t

I like the way you wear your clothes,
I like the way you don’t.

I like it when you say to me that,
If i will you won’t.

If you hadn’t found the best in me,
Would you be here today?

I’m just wondering,
Why you’re wandering away…

On the other side of gratitude

The Gratitude Guide

The Gratitude Guide, a handbook to more happiness in life, by Mr Jacob J Zylka-Zebracki

No râpé today, but still, some insights.

Finding gratitude in the ‘face of adversity’ may be the hardest thing right after self-acceptance, so-called “self-love”.
I have come to believe that it is our mission, in our best interest, in the best interest of life, of the universe’s thriving forces, in the best interest of joy & happiness, that we find gratitude, somehow, in the hard times. It implies ‘trusting the process’, trusting the Universe, trusting ‘God’. By the way, if the word ‘God’ bothers you, as i know it does some people, especially Atheists, then simply give it a meaning you can live with, something that doesn’t frustrate you or annoy you. It really is up to you what meaning you put in there. Have you pondered that maybe it bothers you because you don’t know what meaning to put into it? That you are disconnected from this Power, this Source of Everything, All of Consciousness combined? I don’t know, quite frankly, that’s your problem & for you to figure out. For your own sake, try to, though. Because we DO all come from the same Source, whether you want it or not, whether you believe it or not, and all Consciousness therefore comes from the same source too. And everything is connected to everything. There is nothing ‘separate’ in the Universe.

Back to our theme, though: gratitude when it’s not easy.

When we fail to find this gratitude, and i say this without judging those of us (including me) who do, we render ourselves victims of the circumstances. It means that a) we feel sorry for ourselves, b) we probably deny or don’t realize the part we played in attracting those said circumstances, and c) we are failing to trust the process, to trust God. Now i’m not a religious person, i’m neither Catholic nor Buddhist nor Jewish nor any of those things. I think that they are quite incompatible with spirituality. They are an easy trap to fall into, yes, but a trap nevertheless. Just my opinion, however, so don’t get too upset with me should you view things differently. Remember? Gratitude for our hardships! Oh, it is sooo hard to accept that people disagree with me on the obvious! SOOO hard! 😉

I have found, especially in the last few days, that by seeking gratitude, even for things that are, IMO, creating frustration for me, pretty f***ing strong frustration too (and i use those words deliberately…), that i create a learning and growth. I am only better off for it. What lies on the other side of gratitude is growth, and something a whole lot better than what i thought i was missing or lacking, or wanting. Ok, i still want to do those things, that hasn’t disappeared, but had i not gone through this frustration/problem and sought out the gratitude, i would have missed out on something a whole lot deeper & more beneficial to my Being & existence!

I’m not certain i can explain this further right now, so maybe try it. You can find meditations & advice on how to feel grateful quite easily should you want it. Search & you shall find. Try it & let me know how it went, why not? You can comment below, or email me from the contact section. 🙂

Be well, shine on, and let the world see & feel how friggin brilliant & lovely you are! 🙂

P.S. The book in the picture is a good place to start, and you can order it here (US) or here (UK/Europe). These are not affiliate links, the author is however a good friend and i hope to have him interviewed for this blog or for a podcast sometime this year.
I put this book in the ‘MUST READ in a lifetime’ category. Something that would be compulsory at school, were school about teaching & growing. Something every child & every adult should refer to on rough days or nights. Something we should all practice, for our own good, and that of all.

Poetry Day

Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, a masterpiece by AC/DC

Today is official poetry day, here, on this blog. And because some of you tend to think that i’m perfect, or not technically human (hehe, yes, i am joking, but, yes, it happens), i thought i’d share with you some of my favorite lines. To shock you back into reality. 😉

You got problems in your life of love
You got a broken heart
He’s double dealin’ with your best friend
That’s when the teardrops start, fella
Pick up the phone
I’m here alone
Or make a social call
Come right in
Forget about him
We’ll have ourselves a ball

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap

If you got a lady and you want her gone
But you ain’t got the guts
She keeps naggin’ at you night and day
Enough to drive ya nuts
Pick up the phone
Leave her alone
It’s time you made a stand
For a fee
I’m happy to be
Your back door man

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap

Concrete shoes, cyanide, TNT
Done dirt cheap
Neckties, contracts, high voltage
Done dirt cheap

Dirty deeds, done dirt cheap.
——————————
We owe this sheer poetry, of course, to the Dead Poet, Bon Scott, and his crew, Angus & Malcolm Young. How anyone can not love AC/DC is beyond me. True genius at work.

Effort

Calm is on the other side of effort.


A few weeks ago, i started working with râpé (more on that in a separate post at some point – stay tuned). Every day has brought new insights. I will be posting one liners, such as today’s. Just remember that, like everything i write, it’s about my experience and isn’t a rule, because there are none with these things. It is up to you, and only you, to feel them resonate with you…or not, and to put them to good use…or not. 😉

My wish is that the things i share on this diary of mine may serve you, and serve you well. We all have a light to shine on the world, shamelessly. Intention is key.

May you be well, stay amazing. Shine.

Oh, and if you’d like to receive a few more of these insights, to see what they may bring you, then click the follow button, it’s there somewhere, and subscribe to the YouTube channel, where i post other things that may also be of interest to you.

Thanks for your support! 😁

How to get rid of intense or gory dreams

I’d like to share this simple tip with you because it’s just too good to keep to myself.

Recently, i started going to see a Tibetan doctor, who does acupuncture and various other things. Once in a while she also prescribes some chinese herbs.

She often asks me about my dreams. And, as we were moving things in the various organs, i started getting very vivid and, sometimes, gory dreams. Horrible, and exhausting. She says the liver needs detoxing, and the blood is making its way from the liver through the heart and this is what’s causing the dreams. Well, i have little opinion on that, all that matters to me is the result. And her tip works just like magic! Every time.

So, if you are having dreams that leave you exhausted, vivid or just plain horrible, do this every night just before bed : drink a small cup of hot water with a big spoon of apple cider vinegar, and a small spoon of honey.

The water doesn’t need to be super hot. But do make sure you are using proper apple cider vinegar : read the label. The same goes for the honey, although most honeys will say they are when in fact they are a mix of real honey and high fructose glucose syrup (not good!). Most vinegars are just coloured alcohol with some flavouring, beware & choose wisely.

So far, i have tried it four times, with success every time. In between i have sometimes forgotten or decided to try sleeping without it, and the wild insane dreams came back. Tried the vinegar trick again, and the dreams disappeared. Awesome!

I hope this will be useful to you. It’s much better than taking pills, i’m sure you’ll agree. 🙂

Oh, and Happy New year ! 🙂

May 2020 bring you health, joy and love, happiness and prosperity. Enjoy, and don’t forget…courage ! That’s where success is : in courage. If you have no clue what i’m talking about, look up ‘Dr Hawkins chart’, you’ll find it very interesting.

Kelly Howell’s Brainsync collection is currently 50% off

I don’t often promote much here, that’s not the purpose of this blog, which i think is not even monetized at all (at least i have never received a cent from it!).

For those of you following this blog or my YouTube channel, you might recall that i use special mp3s for meditation & before falling asleep. Well, i still use the same ones, and i feel a positive effect from them on my mood & on my dreams. I highly recommend them.

It just so happens that there is currently 50% off on the Brainsync website (CDs & MP3s) with promo code PEACE2019. I thought that was worth mentioning.

Which tracks do i use?

Morning : Awakening Kundalini (includes breathing exercises). Wakes me up & gets me in a good mood, motivated.

Night before sleep and whilst sleeping : Attract wealth #3 is designed to put you to sleep and works real well. I also use The Secret Universal Mind Meditations, they are very empowering and also great for sleeping.

Some of her tracks are great to listen to all day, on speakers, such as the relaxing Attract Love While Working, or Release & Let Go.

When you register on her website, you get a free track, and you’ll receive future promo codes automatically.

Remember to use them daily for best results.

Enjoy!

Some of my favorites

Retreats in Europe

*** Update 2019/12/10 ***
Our 2020 retreats will be:
– April 22-26 (five days)
– July 2-5 (four days)

We speak English, Czech, Français, Espanol.

If you’re looking for a short retreat that’s easy to get to from anywhere in Europe, this may interest you.

It is the best preparation for the Bufo Alvarius that we have managed to put together so far.

It consists in a Kambo detox, a bit of yoga and some meditations, a De-armouring workshop (this is an initiation to the powerful yet simple to apply bodywork that helps release blocked energies), and Bufo (usually outside).

The location is a truly lovely & peaceful recently renovated retreat center in South Bohemia, Czech Republic. You will find cheap & quick flights to Prague (PRG) from anywhere in Europe, and from there car pooling can usually be arranged. It’s about 2 or 3 hours by car from Prague, depending on the traffic.

We bring our own gourmet vegan chef, who cooks exclusively for us for the whole time we are there. The retreat center is privatised : we have it to ourselves. 🙂

Outside, there is a multitude of spots to choose from for the Bufo experience, and we are free to move based upon the time of day, the sun/shade, and the feeling of each spot.
Inside, there is a large wooden meditation room we use for Kambo, and also for Bufo when the time of day or the weather do not allow for an outdoor session.

The center has bedrooms available, and also mattresses in the large meditation room. Camping outside is also possible (you will need to bring your own tent / sleeping equipment). We recommend you bring mosquito repellent too.

There is a private lake nearby. The fields also belong to the property. The peace & calm are palpable. 🙂


Our indoor space for Bufo when outdoors isn’t a possibility.

This is our 4th retreat, the last one (in June/July 2019) was fully booked). My 75 year old mother attended as a client last time, and got so much from it that she asked to return this time, in September.

The next date is in a few days : September 6 to 9, 2019. So if you’re reading this you can still make it, should you wish to. All you need to do is book online using the following link :
https://bufoalvariuscz.as.me/kambufo-retreat

And you can contact bufoalvarius[at]seznam.cz for more information. Replace the [at] by @, of course. I do that to avoid bots reading the email address and spamming us. 😉

We get pretty good feedback from these retreats, and next year we hope to schedule 3 :
– 2 similar four day retreats
– 1 longer seven day retreat.

So if you can’t make this event, don’t worry, email us anyway and we’ll update you on future events. You can also reach me via Facebook should you prefer. But email via the contact page on this blog is my preferred method of contact.


Just one of the many available spots we use outside, depending on what feels best at that time of day.

Also, if you are interested in just Kambo or just Bufo, that’s possible too. At this retreat or at other times during the year. Just contact me.
We have people flying over from everywhere to do sessions here. Sometimes accomodation is also possible, although we recommend you find an Air B’n’B : you can find great deals in Prague, AND enjoy a weekend in this beautiful city at the same time.

We have an emailing list as well as Facebook groups, so you can easily get all the information you need. We are available before and after events, at no extra cost, for an unlimited amount of time, unless some other facilitators, who just ignore emails or charge a lot of money for assistance. We are available on 4 types of instant messaging plus other means. Talk with us any time you like or need.

The cost of our retreats is rock bottom : we charge very little for the actual ceremonies/sessions, a large chunk of the cost goes into accomodation and meals. We do this to make these “ancient medicines” available to as many as possible. Having said that, these things are not for everyone. If in any doubt, get in touch with us and we will advise you as honestly as possible as to the best options for you.

All the best,
Yann

 

‘What can i do when people are wrong and i’m right?’ 😉

Question:

‘So what do you do, what do you do, when a whole bunch of people are wrong, objectively wrong about concrete, demonstrable facts, and they want to stay that way?’

——————————

Well, the first step here would be to look into victim mentality and understand how that may relate to you. Do you have a victim mindset?What do you think?

The answer to your question is…acceptance.

You find acceptance.

Understand that your frustration is called that for a reason. It is YOURS.
YOU create it. Not them. Not the world. Not people being ‘wrong’. YOU. YOU create it.

The frustration you feel is you resisting acceptance.

So find it.

And move on to your problems. Deal with those instead. Accept that people fuck themselves because accepting this is what will allow you to NOT fuck yourself.

Wish them well. Project love if you can. Send it to them.

They are afraid of truth. Afraid. Not ready. But that, as said above, is NOT the problem.
THEIR problem…doesn’t exist. Only YOURS does. And now you have a pretty good clue as to what it is.

All the best to you. And them. 😉

————————-

Note : the above question was taken from a public post on Facebook. The guy obviously has a very strong victim mindset. His friends too, it seems.

He did not appreciate my reply, and proceeded to insult me and try to shame me for all sorts of things unrelated to the post or my reply. He claims i am judgemental.

We all are, sometimes. However, i fail to see how this was. Name-calling and insults, on the other hand… 😉

Luckily some people get this.

What i take from this? Two things :

– i understand my own frustration better.

– don’t try to help people asking questions publicly. Help people who ask YOU. 🤷🏼‍♂️

New scientific study says 5-MeO-DMT enhances well-being

A big thank you to all of you who kindly accepted to participate in this scientific study! 🙏🏻💚🐸

And 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 to M. for this massive piece of work. 🙏🏻😌💚

This study was done partly with data collected at our sessions, with our clients, both prior to their experience and after it. 😎👍🏻

Awesome!

And here is an update, in the form of a statement by the author of the study, due to articles such as this one being a bit too simplistic and misleading, it seems :
