Nepal — In the Footsteps of Buddha

Kathmandu and surroundings, Bhaktapur, teachings and group gatherings, the daily life of Nepalis, Matthieu Ricard’s monastery, Pokhara lake, 4-days light trekking. Possibility of personalised reset program.

With Ulrich Freitag

After 44 years, returning to Nepal was a true revelation for me. A developing country with all these challenges. In all of this, I found a true Buddhafield around the Buddha Stupa in Kathmandu. I experienced a real transformation thanks to the people around me and their generosity of heart, -and I wish for the participants of this journey  as for all others people to expierence the same.

Teachings, chanting, group sharings are integrated into daily life, -including visits to interesting places, nature hikes in the mountains around Kathmandu, and our light trekking in the Himalayas.

The Buddha was born in Nepal. We travel with this group on his path, taking his first sutra ‘Love yourself and watch’ as our mantra. This can be very touching, revealing and a lot of fun since we become less serious, while conneting with the heart.

Price: €2250 plus €50 for entrance fees

Early bird: €350 discount for the first 4 people or until august 25th, €175 off for my former students, those who have traveled with me before, and  payment of 60% upon registration. €150 discount for referrals.

During this journey, we offer the possibility of a

Reset program – for (too) busy individuals, entrpreneurs and those in recovery.

For 3 participants, in addition to the program of this journey, there will be an opportunity to join a tailored reset program consisting of 6 coaching sessions, psychic heart reading, individual therapy and/or psychosomatic therapy, as well as 2 masterclasses tailored to their needs.

Ayurveda Retreat in the Himalaya plus the 5 in 1 program

With Ulrich Freitag and the team of the Ayurveda Hospital

I would like to invite you to a retreat journey that I undertook myself last year, -and also as someone who has learned and taught bodymind therapy for over 40 years. I truly enjoyed this retreat.

This experience – whether as time for a personal ‘reset’ with deep relaxation and cleansing or for health reasons, – I would like to make this journey accessible to others as well.

To make this inner and outer journey even more effective, we have incorporated four additional therapeutic approaches along with Ayurveda. Therefore, the retreat offers the most comprehensive program in complementary medicine and therapy that we currently know of to become ‘healthy and whole’ again.

The retreat itself takes place in the Himalayas, at the Haidakhan Babaji Hospital and Retreat Center, which has been awarded multiple excellence prizes by the Indian governement. It is a truly spiritual environment with breathtaking views of the Himalayas.

You can utilize this privileged time according to your needs: to relax deeply, to have a true ‘reset’ experience, to care for your health and well-being at your own pace, to indulge yourself with massages and treatments, or to embark on a deep healing journey that can include emotional release, daily yoga, and meditation – all paired with beautiful walks and the small and large surprises of life around you.

In addition to the 21-day Panchkarma Ayurveda retreat with an extraordinary team, you have access

  • to the diagnosis and medicine from Tibetan doctors in Delhi
  • psychosomatic therapy (emotional work + deep tissue massage + deep acupressure + Chinese medicine)
  • health check and treatment based on the computerized diagnosis for Russian astronauts

April 16-20, 2025 (part of the Year of Abundance training, but can also be booked separately)

21 Days Online Heart Meditation

Dates for 2025 soon to come

Develop your heart. Too much energy in this world was used to develop the mind. And I say it again: develop the heart.
— The Dalai Lama

With Ulrich Freitag

Pay what you can — about 15 – 20 minutes per day — 4 life online meetings — starts Sun 18.8. 16.30h

Our heart is the most important factor for our inner balance, health, mental clarity, and even productivity at work. It can harmonise all other systems in the body-mind. It is therefore the key, “the royal road”.

Nevertheless, we are all almost illiterate when it comes to the heart. Almost 40% of the population dies from heart disease!

The energy field of the heart is 100 times greater than that of the mind and it has a magnetic field that is up to 5000 times stronger. We need to get in touch with this power to use it!

In this 7 or 21 day heart coherence and heart meditation course you will learn clear techniques to connect with your heart intelligence: shorter heart coherence exercises, a longer heart meditation and bodymind intelligence techniques to reduce stress and tension. You can easily integrate all these techniques into your daily life.

This will give you the opportunity to reconnect with inner peace, spaciousness and refreshing relaxation. It can help you to clear your mind in a simple and natural way to find solutions to problematic situations on a higher level.

You will also learn basics to connect with your incredible innate psychic abilities when you connect with your heart. See also comments under Testimonials.

Welcome to Club Med!!!

If you would like to connect more deeply with your heart intelligence, you are also welcome to register for the ‘Heartsmart Minifestival’ 16 -18 or until 21.8 (online and live). This is also the start of our program ‘The Year of Abundance’ (see under training), which promises a continuity over a whole year.

Live and Online

Home is where the heart is. The heart gives meaning to our lives and ensures that we feel connected, balanced and self-confident.

It has been scientifically proven that the heart can harmonise all other body-mind systems. The heart is therefore the key, ‘the royal road’.

Unfortunately, almost 40% of the population still die from heart disease. This shows that we are still almost anaphabets when it comes to our heart intelligence. The energy field of the heart is 100 times stronger than that of the mind, and has a magnetic field which up to 5000 times stronger.

We just need to get in touch with this power! Then the heart ensures, for example, that those who are in the heart have up to 400% better immune systems – just think of the many respiratory diseases today – or that maths students who regularly practise heart coherence have on average 70% better grades! That’s the difference between an average student and a genius!

Let’s open our hearts together and celebrate the intelligence of the heart and its amazing possibilities!

Excerpt from Chapter 1

The Eternal Wisdom of India

When people in the West seek for the deeper meaning to Life, they make the mistake of assuming all religions are some variation of Christianity. 
But the spiritual Traditions that come from India are drastically different to Judaism, 
Christianity and Islam in how they practice, yet there is a common substratum that
underpins them all. 
 
The most common assumption is that religious people believe in God. 
Belief means to put your faith in something you don’t know is true.
If I ask you “do you believe the Sun exists?”
You will reply, “no! It is more than that!  
I see it everyday and feel its warmth!”
 
The Indian traditions speak of something INTRINSIC to you and help you discover and experience this. 
Yogis are not believers!  
They are seeking an experience of the Divine.
They aspire to become KNOWERS of the deepest Truth of Life.  
They know there is no God in the sky.
 
That is why I call it a wisdom tradition …. there are layers and layers to this, which may reveal themselves to you when you are sincerely seeking.  
It is an organic, flowing, living river of wisdom, of seekers and finders, and of great Souls who have reached God realisation and left a message for us. 
 
This is an experience of Life that is available to every human being, whether you are an atheist, a religious person, or simply on your own personal spiritual path. 
 
You don’t have to believe anything.
You just have to see a different way of looking at life.
 
“God is the beauty and force of Life itself.
God is Mother Nature.
I am born from Mother Nature.
Mother Nature is my Mother.
God is my Mother.
Life literally physically gives birth to us.
We are made of the five elements.  Fire, Earth, Air, Water, and Space.
When we breathe, we breathe life in …. and out …. 
The Whole Universe is connected to itself.
The more we realise our connection, the less problems we experience in Life.
Differences between races and religions fall away as we realise we are all just different versions of Life – in different shapes and form and sizes.
With this way of life, we and GOD are connected.
God is no longer a man with a white beard in the sky!”
– Satpal Singh on explaining the wisdom traditions of India.
 
A deep reverence for life takes hold, when we realise that all living things have this same God force making them alive.  
With this way of looking at life, we become protectors of Life and Mother Nature. 
That is why we stop praying and start praising.  
 
It’s about spending your whole life in appreciation for what life is.
