Wim Hof Method Weekend - Netherlands

This weekend was all about feelings. Feeling time consciously. Feeling light. Feeling that a day, or two lived in full capacity can be very transformative and inspirational. Bernhard & Mike had a very warm personality opening the group with a big hug. The agenda was spontaneous ( love this part) and at the same time, all activities were structured. It feels good to be surprised. Just as life is.

Honestly, I would never think I could be immersed in ice. Growing up in Brazil that was definitely not a possibility 

( or maybe something I ever thought about). But the ice was one piece of the experience (amazing definitely!) , it is 48 hours of travelling inside.

The explanations, the circle, the sharing, building a community, a group synergy - it was beautiful. My heart took me to the experience and I must say it came back fulfilled with love and power. Watching the sunrise together and patiently breathing waiting for a new day was also one of the highlights of this experience. Bernhard has an approach that emanates joy too!

Back home among all the feelings, insights and observations, I stayed with one thing in mind. Smiling is not a particularly complicated act: you feel happy emotions, the corns of your mouth turn up, your cheeks lift a little and your eyes crinkle. The face is dancing. The overall effect to the outside tells people you are happy. And it can become contagious positively. 

That was what I brought with me at home – a genuine smile. Healing can also be a joyful journey.

I left this experience totally connected to my gut feelings & inner strength.

Thank you Berny, my heart is still smiling:)
