Between light and shadow – a candle exercise that opens the heart and energy. Celebrate Diwali & Halloween with us – two festivals that keep the inner light alive. 🕯️🎃
Karin and I philosophized—about Diwali, my dad's Indian New Year celebration, and about Halloween—the festival of shadows. Two celebrations that at first glance couldn't be more different—and yet share the same core: the interplay of light and darkness, of letting go and new beginnings.
While in India lights are lit to dispel the darkness, in many parts of the world we celebrate the mysterious—that which becomes visible in the shadows when the outside world falls silent. And right in between lies a special invitation: to nurture, hold, and powerfully feel your own light.
In my new video, I show you a seemingly simple but deeply effective candle exercise that will help you open your heart space and activate your energy flow—both physically and energetically.
The candle is more than just a symbol here. It becomes a training device that teaches you to consciously combine tension and expansion: you actively push and pull the glass with the candle together and apart again – with noticeable strength and presence. This lifts your chest, opens your ribs, and intensively engages your intercostal muscles. Coupled with deep, rhythmic breathing, this creates a noticeable expansion throughout the entire torso—a real heart and strength workout.
This activation not only creates more space in the upper body, but also improves the stability and posture of the spine. When the stomach area is compressed, nothing can flow freely—neither energy nor breath. But as soon as the chest opens and the body's shell comes into balance, the chakras—the energy centers along the spine—begin to glow and connect again. ✨ 💫
This is what happens when you join in:
An active candle exercise to open your heart space
Powerful breathing exercises and targeted straightening of the chest
Conscious posture as the basis for energy flow and balance
A ritual of letting go, grounding, and inner light
Do the exercise at home or outdoors in nature—and repeat it daily until New Year's Eve. Observe how your body changes, how your breathing becomes deeper and your heart wider. Because when your outer posture is right, everything inside can flow too. 🌕 🎃
🕯️ Open your heart space – feel connected, uplifted, and alive.
