Meditation and Yoga in your daily routine
I’ve been going to a very rough period lately and it just happens to be in the middle of the break of my Kundalini Yoga class. Usually I get a lot of relaxation and stress relief from the lessons, but now I have to figure out a way to do this on my own. So I want to incorporate meditation and yoga into my daily routine.
Generational Reflections
Lately I’ve been noticing I’m getting older. Just yesterday Daan asked me: how long ago do you think 1997 was? It felt like it has been three years, while in fact it’s been twelve! My generation is growing up and it’s time for some generational reflections. We’ve been labelled generation Y, a generation that has been analysed and defined. Yet the latest research by the UN about child well-being might throw these definitions out of balance.
Fluffy Animals vs. Juicy Meat
Today I watched an Oprah show about meat. Being an animal lover, a vegetarian and someone who speaks her mind about things, I love to give my view on this subject. For me personally it’s crystal clear: don’t eat meat. I hate the idea of treating animals like products, I think people don’t need to eat meat anymore, I’m disgusted by the taste of meat and during the last election I voted for the Animal Party. Like Kent Brockman, I’ll give my two cents on the subject in this entry.
Human beings come first: een mentaliteitsverandering rondom speciesisme
Mensen komen eerst, dat is hoe wij denken. Dat wij dit denken, heeft ernstige gevolgen voor onze behandeling van dieren. Het kan zo niet langer en we zijn nodig toe aan een mentaliteitsverandering. Voordat ik echter mijn mening kan geven over speciesisme en je ervan kan proberen te overtuigen dat het zo niet langer kan, moet ik eerst uitleggen wat het inhoudt.
Love and Media
My friend Owen send me this article which totally confirmed what I’ve been feeling and thinking for years: media consumptions messes up your love life. The article basically states that viewing romantic movies makes you have unrealistic expectations about your own romantic relationships. The sad thing is that it’s true. I’ve had this happen to me multiple times, but always remained fairly ‘grounded’ because of my extremely grounded better half.

Hatha Yoga vs. Kundalini Yoga
Recently, I’ve started Hatha yoga and it’s been great! I’m still doing Kundalini too, but I’ve found that if I want peace of mind, I have to go to a lesson by my wonderful teacher Edith Schrijver to get my head cleared. I’ll explain what’s the difference between the two kinds of yoga in this post.
A quick update!
I’ve not been able to post much lately, since I’m too busy and have been without internet for a while, but that’s going to change! I’m first going to take a lovely break from everything and I’m making a trip through Southern India, which I’m very excited about and I’ll write about the Indian culture and all my experiences when I get back in December.
The Perfect Vagina
I was absolutely horrified, shocked and utterly confused while watching the documentary The Perfect Vagina presented by Lisa Rogers. The film follows Lisa around while she investigates the phenomena of women who have plastic surgery on their vaginas. I was left feeling sad and wondering what is wrong with the world today.
Chauvinistic Pigs and Heartless Bitches
Recently I’ve stumbled upon two equally disturbing groups that are both incredibly ignorant and intolerant. I should just ignore them and not bother with them, but their pure stupidity makes so incredibly angry and upset that I can’t resist put to write something about them and to explain exactly why their total idiots.
Meet the chauvinistic pigs – the seduction community – and the Heartless Bitches. Both of them seem to originate from a reaction. For the seduction community it’s the rejection of the dating world and the heartless bitches it’s the wrongful treatment of women. Both of them, however, have become exactly what they are against in the first place and they appear to thrive in it. This is what I call stupidity. They don’t have any sense of what’s integrity, morally acceptable or simply intelligent. I’d first like to deal with the men and then the women. The women annoy me a lot more, to be honest, simply because it involves my own gender and it’s such a ridiculous reactionary attitude.
