On Mindfulness
I like to take a break from thinking, so I can come back to it with a different perspective and a refreshed mind. This break is called meditation and being more precise is not about not thinking, it is...
Change in Health - Detox in a holistic way
Now is the best time to start a fabulous program like this: Change in Health … a concept, which I have developed recently. It will help you to detox in a holistic way addressing body, mind and spirit. I have developed this 3-step concept, which may be a way to optimal vitality and well-being in just 30 days for YOU. Our colon is the body’s power house which supplies energy to all of our organs and exerts great influence on the body, thoughts and feelings. The health and vitality stemming from the intestines is gaining broad interest, as evidenced from books such as “Gut Feeling” currently storming the bestseller lists, (Giulia Enders, Microbiologist ISBN-12 978-1771641494) It is a little known fact that an adult intestine is six to eight feet long and, in a healthy state, has an inner surface of about 5000 ft2. That’s approximately the size of two tennis courts; yet the habits of today’s civilization reduce the effective surface of our colon to the surface of a ping-pong table!  The main tasks of the intestine are regulation of: !  elimination / detoxification, !  food intake / supply of cells, !  maintenance of the immune system (80% controlled by the intestinal nervous system!), !  autonomic emotions.  It is scientifically proven that 80% of the happiness hormone serotonin is produced in the gut. Further, gut feeling really does exist, with 80% of the body’s communication to the brain stemming from the intestine. Given that the colon is the most influential organ in the human body, it is obvious that it deserves daily care.  (Source SwissShape) I use the unique COLON-FIT program, which has been developed by SwissShape. I love the program as it fits into the a true colon care program which fits into a busy lifestyle AND offers a kick-start for intestinal health – in just 30 days! The body is detoxified through the intestines, it is well supplied with high quality biological nutrient, you are trained to eat consciously. The 3-step-method includes individual consultation and relaxing sound therapy to support relaxation as well as the detox effect. A fabulous program worth to learn more about.

On Mindfulness
How to solve a problem? Usually we engage our intelligence to do that. We use our knowledge and sometimes other people knowledge to approach the problem. This accumulated knowledge comes always from the past. But sometimes it is not enough. We are left with our mind spinning with thoughts without getting any help from it. We all know this state of mental vortex, a spiral of thoughts that leads to nowhere. (“My mind is driving me crazy.”) So I would like to suggest a different way of approaching a problem. It is a very unorthodox way, very incredulous to majority of people; still those who use this way can vouch for it. How about asking for help your own body and not the mind? The body is an energy system, receiving constantly information from the environment. The amount of this information is enormous, and it is being selected, assessed and filtered so that only a small part is being noticed and considered by the thoughts. So how about dropping the thinking and turning directly to the experience of the body, the sensing and feeling what is in the present moment, in the here and now. This state of being with the body, listening to the motion of energy in your body without involving the intelligent mind, without assessing and judging is called meditation. It creates a space, peace and clarity that may help finding an answer to the problem. LEARN MEDITATION.
Mankind solve the European Refugee Crisis with LOVE...
Good Sunday morning to everyone I know in this NOW moment. I just awoke from my magnificent dream. Mankind, thats me and you found the true meaning of our Humanity… to love without comparison, with no borders and no separation. Please take a moment NOW to close your eyes, breathe and walk with me through my dream once again. We are MANKIND and we solve the European Refugee Crisis with LOVE. It is early morning and the countryside grass and wild herbs is freshly trodden, leaving a wonderful aroma lingering in the air, as thousands of people rise from a good sleep and feeling revitalised begin their new day walking as best they can to their new homeland. The skies slowly become lighter as the sun rises and shines its light on the path for many refugees to find a new, peaceful and loving life. They have chosen to leave behind the crazy madness of the ones who couldn’t find it in their hearts to remember (yet) they are part of MANKIND too and their very special task as part of humanity to honour and love each other so that each can create their own heart and soul’s desire on the physical plane. So walking on a new path the refugees feel a renewed sense of hope, they can’t really explain how they feel but it is as if they are being welcomed home by long lost family. Tears of happiness flow from their eyes as they begin to feel the millions of transparent and bright coloured bubbles exploding onto their skin and clothes… that release the purest sense of LOVE that flows through their body, mind and spirit. It is a love they recognise from when they were innocent children playing and laughing in the open fields being totally free. Everyone among them felt this feeling of unconditional LOVE intensifying, their heart opening wide and all previous hurts and pains seemed to dissolve. A few of the young men who weren’t sure why they too had chosen to walk to a new land began to feel for the first time an innate knowing of how they were going to allow their unique and creative expression to unfold in the heart of life. The people in authority they met on the different European borders and organising the transportation were kind and welcoming, there was an abundance of fresh foods and water along the way and as if by magic everyone seemed to know how this new integration would naturally unfold and be the beginning of a new way of living and loving together. Breathing In and Out… in full Awareness… Deep and Calm… Breathing In and Out People from all around the world were focusing on the extra-ordinary exodus of people walking to Europe and together they joined one focus. Consciously breathing in the original LOVE of MANKIND… to love without comparison, with no borders and no separation… and expanding the love that they are to the area of Europe where it manifested as transparent and colourful bubbles that held the solution and the beginning of a new way of living on Earth…in peace, harmony and natural order. Breathing In and Out… in full Awareness… Deep and Calm… Breathing In and Out And so it is…  Barbara Franken… Creative visionary and Master CreatorInspiring New Energy Consciousness…
How well AM I loving myself this summer... Part III
Hotel Orange, Noordwijk wan Zee… Barbara Franken Photography We were back in the country I spent many happy years living in… Holland… a land of friendly, open and ‘to the point’ people. Visiting always brings a smile to my face as IAM grateful for the Dutch people who taught me to be my own person and have the courage to stand up and express Who IAM.  Holland in my eyes is a leading role model, instilling people to be confident in their expression, to care for self first and to be self-full. Most young adults are encouraged to continue their study until their mid 20’s, remaining in their family home enjoying family life and saving their pennies from working part time work. Voluntary work is encouraged as good work experience. The percentage of teenage pregnancy and drug/drink abuse is small, as society is tolerant and open about the subjects. Wellbeing for the mind, body and spirit is high, as people are conscious of what they eat, how much they exercise, the affect they have on the Environment and last but not at all least, they know and make known how they feel, what they don’t like and won’t put up with. They put themselves first, not in a selfish way, but in a self-full way that allows them to choose to inspire and help others along the way. We had planned our week catching up with our family and friends, buying supplies to take back, checking out my favourite dutch stores and visiting new trendy restaurants. Our friends Lynne and Keith came with us to celebrate our wedding anniversary at the TOP of the city, Den Haag… The Penthouse was situatied on the 42nd floor with beautiful panoramic views of the city centre. The food was delicious and company divine as always. The Penthouse, Den Haag… Barbara Franken Photography Ellen, Fred, Richard and Paul are our friends in Almere, who we visited for their famous bbq with chicken sate sauce… Paul was going through his John Lennon or is it his Robin Gibbs phase? so I had to have a selfie of us together. Barbara and Paul… Barbara Franken Photography The day before we were leaving for England, most of our family came down to have lunch in Noordwijk wan Zee with us. It was nice to catch up with everyone… Weather unfortunately was windy and stormy to say the least… so Tom and I had to buy some new warm clothes… oh deary me. Family Lunch at The Gallery, Noordwijk aan Zee… Barbara Franken Photography What a wonderful time we had, so good to be with family and friends again and catch up with how everyone was enjoying their life and getting on making it a happy one. This is what I love about the Dutch, even the foreigners living here, its like their consciousness is contagious and allows everyone to just get on in life, no matter what… as if they all know that they are responsible for their own destiny. How cool is that. It was time to take our overnight boat to England, arriving just before my little sisters fairytale wedding. Time to help organise last minute things and my sister… after all it was her big day coming up and it was to be enjoyed. We arrived at Sutton Bonington Hall the evening before for a get together with Angie’s friends and family who were staying either at the Hall or her home at Holden House. The following morning a lovely pre wedding breakfast was served… for the women and then the men before we began getting ready for the big moment. We knew it would go by so quickly so we all made the most of it… Many chuckles, tears and lots of photo shots. Angie was in her element, she looked a million dollars, she had so wished for a real dressed up fairytale affair at this lovely country family home at Bonington Hall with her gorgeous catch… Jon Barkway. http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull, Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photograph http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography http://www.everybodysmile.biz…; Humpston & Bull Official Wedding Photography We all celebrated well into the small hours of the next morning, delicious food, drinks and company. It was a small cosy event, after all it wasn’t the first time for either of them, but certainly with conscious thought… the last. Congratulations Angie… here’s to you, finding your man to share a good and happy life with.  It was our pleasure to share these happy moments with you.Love always, Big Sis xxx Our holiday was nearing its end… it was time to travel back home, via the English and French Channel Tunnel, travelling the coast of western France to northern Spain and down through Madrid to Malaga. We actually managed it in two days, staying one night in Southern France… our daughter Juliette was staying with us for a while and we wanted to get back to see her. What an enjoyable time we had though… a happy experience with lots of awareness travelling through different countries and feeling into many unique energies. I so much enjoy returning to England to visit my family and friends… Mum, Dad, Angie and myself are always there for each other and we continue to inspire each other to be our best selves. The energy of England and her people remain thick with confusion though… as the majority still can’t break free from being stuck in the past, fighting demons and blaming each other for their own lack of courage. Of course my own family and friends carry a sparkle of self-love and joy that penetrates through the dense atmosphere, but I know it is hard. Walking around my original home town Derby… I was quite shocked as I observed people looking lost, afraid and as if they had given up caring for themselves. I’ve always said you don’t need a lot of money to care for yourself and be conscious of what you eat, what suits your body and how you present yourself in life. But who is reminding these people? I have one bit of advice… Be curious about yourself and your Environment and allow this to take you on a journey of exploration. IAM quite fortunate that my curious self first appeared as a teenager and took me on an extra-ordinary journey of self discovery and understanding just how life works.  In my book Your Magnificent Self… A Journey to Freedom I share my unique and magical journey. Coming Soon… So how well AM I loving myself this summer… both the wonderful and sad impressions I have absorbed along my travels have allowed me to open wider and deeper within myself (knowing that IAM the reflection of my Environment) and accept all life’s experiences because I know they have made me who IAM today and the society I share with millions of others… but I also know it is not who IAM now and can choose to release everything that no longer serves me and allow myself to focus on experiencing my heart and soul’s desire… to live freely as my Magnificent Self in a peaceful and harmonious world IAM creating with friends who know of our true potential as DivineHumanBeings. My new Facebook page… https://www.facebook.com/MeMyMagnificentSelf would love you to like it, if you already haven’t… and keep up to date with the launch of my first book… I’m getting so excited… Thanks so much.
