beyond the material

Studies reveal that a belief in something immaterial is very healthy, and based on our experience we agree. The Placebo Effect is one example of a powerful belief, but so is Nocebo. There is no doubt that we live longer and healthier if we have a “strong belief”, but it has to be authentic and what this is, is for each of us to define, and change, if needed, over time, and it’s not always what people call a “positive” belief.

The O·method sets a pattern to find a belief that brings life force to each and one with all it’s diversity of thought to reflect the diversity of all humans. There are no set rules of right or wrong, we share our method and will review the traditions most associated with the concept of spirituality, and allow you to explore the possibility that there is more to life than what meets the eye, nose, hands and ears. Beyond that is an interpretation of the universe and it’s the method we are interested in, not the facts we find.

Between us we have many years of formal and informal study, have lived in the countries of the major religions, explored most schools of thought, and enjoyed natural sciences and philosophy. We have done art, music, sports, high-velocity stuff, technology, physical and intellectual work, and to this day pick what works best for us to stay healthy. In other words, we do not define spirituality for anyone but ourselves. Our aim is to clarify what has been a source of joy, pain, hope, confusion, freedom or rigidity for so many, to offering liberation for so many more.

Main discussions will center around you but we are happy to provide thoughts on the following as the subject comes up throughout your stay with us.

• Conventions around spirituality in the religious sense, including a taste of the formal religious traditions that we are all familiar with (such as Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, Christianity…),

• Associated esoteric forms of the formal religions (such as Sufism, Zen, Tantra, mysticism in general…),

• Practices and concepts connected to religious/spiritual beliefs (such as Yoga, Tantra, meditation, prayer, the Creator, service, shamanism, chanting, signs, sun dance, astrology, numerology, altered states…),

• Associated buzzwords (such as Nirvana, Karma, redemption, reincarnation, heaven, bliss, intuition, heart, salvation, faith, Samadhi, Dharma, Moksha…),

• Spirituality not associated with religion (such as found in the concept of “flow”, “nature”, and those associated with creativity, art, music, high performing activities, craftsmanship…),

• Sociological and Anthropological perspectives on all the above,

• Historical perspectives on all the above,

• The question of spirituality in the physical sciences (such as astrophysics, quantum theory, microbiome…),

• What it all means to you.

the choice is yours, maybe

Most important for us is to inspire you to find out what, if anything, spirituality means to you, and how you can have more of it, if more is what you are seeking. We understand there are many mysteries in life, and do not, therefore, presuppose to have any final solutions, other than your personal empowerment.

and these three are one

We believe that physical, mental and spiritual health are all related and must be cared for and nurtured, and that’s why we work on all three. At least we acknowledge that in the world people talk about mind, body and soul, and create specific methods for taking care of each. We will not only focus on your spiritual quest, but ensure that your spiritual journey includes physical and mental ones, too.
