Ego La La la

Years ago, near Santa Cruz, California, a member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang started a fight with a tourist that turned into a melee. Asked what had happened to trigger his wrath, the biker declared, "He touched my bike. Man, you touch my bike, you touch me." This may seem like an extreme example of what the yogic texts call identifying the self with its limiting adjuncts, but it's not so different from what we so-called rational people do.

What do you identify yourself with?

Buddhist and Vedantic teachers are fond of saying that the ego is like the blue of the sky, or the apparent puddle in the middle of a desert-dry highway. It's an optical illusion, a simple mistake in the way we identify ourselves. That's why fighting your ego is like boxing with your reflection in the mirror, or trying to rid yourself of something you don't have. Now that neurobiologists seem to have reduced the sense of I-ness to a couple of brain chemicals, the ego looks more than ever to be a kind of involuntary mechanism, something beyond our personal control, just like the reflex that makes us go on breathing when we sleep.

So what are we fighting for?

Or is the problem that our egos isn´t big enough to stand above it all?
Ahamkara-love. 4 real!

A ticket to Metal!!

Had a wonderful gig last night! I can use one word to describe the evening;

AWESOME

´Nuff said!

Now off to Oslo for a brief 26 hour vacation. I can use one word to describe that too;

WONDERFUL

And if you don´t know how to spend your sunday afternoon... come and do some donationbased yoga with me!! All details to the right, Qs becomes As if you ask them.

Time to set new goals!

At this moment I´ve reached every mountaintop I´ve aimed for.
That´s kind of a wierd feeling...
At the beginning of 2010 I got a textmessage from my mom saying that she´s opened a special account for me with 365 happy days for me to spend during this year. Only having 31 of those left I want to mention a handfull of extraordinary people that peptalked me, pushed me and sometimes carried me so that I could get where I am 2day.
There are my 2 sisters of choice. I`ll see you weirdheads this weekend, it´s going to be legen... wait for it... dary!!
My brasilian breath of fresh air. You´re awesome!
And that cherublooking fellow... thanks for all your patience.
Never forgotten, there for me at all times; my family.

Keep it real!

One of those for everybody!

"The glory of friendship is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else belive in him and is willing to trust him."

I wish for everyone to have an Elaine in their lives.

You lift me up girl!

Back on the f---ing program!

I feel a little bit like an old car who doesn´t really want to start when it´s cold. I´m not even sure I can start and keep on going in this cold. Brrrrr. (Thats mine engine sound.)

After working non-stop teaching and performing for 40 days without a brake - thats no brakes at all, not a single day off - my body and mind was a little bit like an old piece of clothing. Colors worn out, fabric worn out, not really in it´s original shape and form. Having the luxury to be taken care of by someone else than myself I´m up again flying. Aiming higher than ever!

So many things are about to happen!
I have this yogathing you can read about to the right. Come, show your support to the kids and their families, give away a small amount of money and get som yoga!
Friday 19/11 is a AcroME night. Come to WinWin at 3:e Långgatan in Gothenburg to see and meet me and Elaine and tons of other beautiful artists.
...and whats with december the 2ond?! Two different chrismasparties and one restaurantshow want me to perform... heard anything new about cloning? Tell me all about it!

Keep it real.
L.O.V.E.

Crazy saturday!

Halloweeeeeen!!
Dressing up and trickORtreat-ing =)

Started early on the road with Trevlad and Jimbo, on our way to perform at the grand opening of a recyclingstation together with slapstick/acrobats Nisse and Fingal.
Yeah, you got it right;
performing at the grand opening of a recyclingstation.

Hats of for Alingsås kommun that puts the environment on stage

and in the

spotlight!
Lots of love to you.

Then there was time for my last evening at Cabaret Lorensberg.
It rocked!!
Love to all you beutiful artists that helped me grow as a person and a performer.
See on a stage real soon!

After that,

being Halloween-night it had to be crazy,

I had a sparkling fireshow with,

to celebrate the evening, a very blue, not in mood - in skincolor,

Jasmine.
Thanx to Sanna and all her guests!


Over and out =)

Last week

I only have four nights left at Cabaret Lorensberg.

True to my habit I´ve been giving the fact that I´m going to leave all these wonderful artists soon and continue working on my own a lot of thought... Even in the begining my thoughts were already at the end.

What is really importent in life?

It´s certinally not the fact that everything has to end!

It´s about meeting, exploring and embrasing each moment as it is. And it´s about beeing so true and honest to yourself that you can meet yourself in each moment.

But...

Can I walk the talk?

Be water

Working 2gether...

The thing I love the most about working at Lorensbergs Cabarén is having co-workers!

Thats a rare thing for a self employed acrobat and yogateacher, and it´s precious!!

Performing with talented Elaine Rydberg, skillful dancer and acrobat.

Above my left foot you can see singer Joel Börjesson and behind my right foot and the piano you find Dan Lindén.

Aerial chains with singer Lollo Gardtman.

First night no 2

A week went by with a loud WHOOOOSH!! Moving in lightspeed it´s hard to keep track on fingernails that needs trimming and wash that needs washing. But I can handle it, I hope.....



A week ago I worked and performed my first night at Cabaret Lorensberg. Lucky me I managed to dislocate my thumb between the last minute rehersal and my first stageapperance, so I figured nothing more could go wrong - and it didn´t!!



Saturday is from now on for ever and ever a special night, it was the first night AcroME entered a stage together! Due to my sored thumb we had a last minute change with some stunts in the act, witch we remembered =) and it went totally awesome!




I just love the stage, the emotions bare for everyone to see and feel and al the different ways to express and translate them.


It´s magic!

First night no 1

2night is premiere night.
It´s the first of several evenings that I will be performing at Cabaret Lorensberg in Gothenburg.
I´m so excited!

I´m going to stiltwalk,

drive the taxi,

duo aerial net with singer Joel Börjesson,

solo aerial chains with Lollo Gardtman on vocals and Dan Lindén playning piano,

after that I will assist in a amazing balansing act

- and I´m a bit nervous about that... -

and then I will do some clowning and ballooooonsculptures!

Oh la la. Busy, busy night. Just the way I like it!

Saturday will be a premiere night to. An AcroMe premiere. Whoopa!!

New... or not?

When was the last time you experienced something completly new?

SneakPeek

Here is a preview of som of the pics that were

taken on Elaine and me on a, don´t let the pictures fool you, cold and really fun thursday. I had a cold and probably a fever but Elaine is Da Supa woman and can balance me through anything!!

Countdown!

It is just two weeks left before you can come and watch me perform at http://www.lorensberg.com/!

2morrow it´s trying on costumes for the show and a visit at the hairdresser.

Happy luxurious day =)

If you haven´t booked your ticket jet - do it!

Me and my chains will be there until the end of october.

C YA!

Jung

"We don´t become enlightened by chasing after figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious."

Scary, wonderful,thing.

To dare to fall

To admit to yourself that you have fallen

To express your feelings

It´s a scary, wonderful thing

....

Influenza

I´m soooo sick.
I can´t even remember when I last felt this ill. It even hurts to walk. My joints are eaching and my hamstrings are shorter than ever.
Naturally I have a important photoshoot in a few hours. Acrobalancing together with beautiful, talanted and superstrong Elaine Rydberg http://elainerydberg.com/. Since my influenza is giving me some balancing troubles and I feel like falling over laying down we´ll see how that goes...
Friday I have a important meeting and not one but two aerial performances.
It´s never convenient to get sick, but could it have waited to next week??

Boosting up on vitamin C and ginger.

High 5

What is the Matrix

If the world we live in is an illusion, there are

(the way I see it)

two ways you can choose.
You can choose the blue pill, shrug your shoulders and go on in lifes rollercoaster of suffering and joy without exploring the "there is no spoon-concept".
Or you can chose the red pill, ignore the laws of physics and gravity and dare yourself to see what might happen if you take the leap.

Lets tumble down the rabbithole!!

Pictures on my skin

"I got hiccups"

Were the words Emma at http://www.littlebirdtattoo.com/ said to me when Iarrived at her studio yesterday. Those are not the words you want to hear from your tattooartist =)

But as soon we got started the hiccup was long gone!

Don´t fear resistance.
Only contrary winds make a dragon rise.

Bodystorage

I belive that things that you don´t deal with that really needs dealing with get stored in your body.
If you don´t get the closure that you need and deserve you can cary the fear and pain forever in your body in the form of a tight muscle or a sore shoulder.
Maybe you have learned to shut up your mind and quiet your thoughts and push away what ever it might be from your memory...
But as they say in the movies :
You can run,
but you can´t hide.

I had this painful experience in january that just kept on expanding and getting built on for what seemed like forever -
and more or less from the exact same moment I´ve been having trouble with my calfmuscles.
Yesterday I got this really painful "massage" from a colleague of mine, and suddenly as she was "abusing" my calfmuscles I got the feeling of surrender. It was time to let go.
All evening after the treatment I felt emotionally drained and when I woke up this morning I felt sad.
But it is a sadness filled with freedom!

Hairy ass

A busy week has past by in warpspeed!

It´s been daily yogaclasses. Giving or taking.

It´s been acting. http://www.indigofilm.se/Indigofilm/Home.html

It´s been horsebackriding

... and when you don´t use a saddle you get a hairy ass!!

It´s also been Port du Soleil, I just love that club! Check it out http://finest.se/imageGallery/gallery_popup.php?igid=7153&iid=394247&pageNum=17#

C YA!

Punk goes clowning!

Again it´s been an awesome weekend!

I´ve been visiting my family and watching my brothers thatrical debut.

Of course he was outstandingly good!!

Rasmus, you owned it I´m tellin ya!

Not only did you play the part of the king

you were the

KING

of the whole tjobang!

Saturday night I was clowning at Park Lane, making baloon figures and people happy =)

One thing that you might not know about me is that I make most of my costumes.

This is part of the clown that you maybe saw on the Avenue nightclub, missing a blue wig and some other details (like oldschool-tatoo panties)

Hope to see you all on a dancefloor soon!!
Love

This weekend in pictures

Vilma loves water!
My only true prince!

(Hope they forgive me for outing them.) An other successful evening in the celing at http://www.peacockdinnerclub.com/soleil/

And the sunday was all yoga and PLOPP

Here, there and a bit of everywhere

Swooosched down to Haga Badet on my bike 2day!
I finaly got my ironhorse out from the stable =)
Later this afternoon I will swooosch away on my bike to Nia Movementcenter and then off to practice some acroyoga with beutiful Elaine Rydberg http://elainerydberg.com/
I will take a wild guess here but probably all the swooosching are going to get noticed in my thighs 2morrow!


Saturday I´ll get an other good look at the dancing crowd at Port du Soleil, Kajsjul 8 here in Gothenburg. But this time I wont be entertaining alone. I´ll be working with tall stiltwalker Kix, a Jakkin Wiss creation http://jakkinwiss.com/

It´s been an awesome weekend! (Again!)

Just look at the party going on below me;

I feel like I´m in that kind of pulsation most of the time.

SPANDA

Join the party

Give yourself SPACE

and TIME

to PLAY

Go LILA!!

Slumber party

Summer finaly arrived along with a whole lot of new and old friends.

Attending a theraputic acroyoga immersion and have my dear friend Maria (aka Mary Mayhem) staying with me for almost a week were like a 5 day around the clock slumber party!

Some, but not the whole, of the crazy acroyogi-bunch!

A fun wormup exercise, known all over the world as dancing... (?)

Our beutiful teachers. Jhonny, Jason and Jennifer.
All J:s =)

And this is my teacher in how to be present in the NOW.

I got to spend the whole monday with her because her baby brother decided it was time to arrive into this world!

What a week!

Over and blissed out!

Love, light and flight!

2morrow it´s take off!!

Hair hair!

I am having a tremendous hairday! That´s always something, because besides that I look and feel more or less like a zombie.

In the last three days I´ve only had time to sleep for like 10 hours - TOTAL!!

Hence the sunglasses =)

Since yesterday I´ve been driving 1000km from Gothenburg to Sundsbyholm and back to Gothenburg to work with 3 amazingly skilled and humble artists.

Zack Segelström http://anticlown.se/

Mr Yokke Pink http://www.mrpink.se/

John-Henry Larsson http://www.john-henry.se/

Thanx again guys!!

I will, from now on, frequently update my yogaschedule because it will change from week to week all june.

Hope I´ll see you on the mat!

Circus and music

This tuesday Zeniou Event made a show to remember for 3200 kids in Alingsås kommun!

Lucky me I had the opportunity to work behind the scene with these inspiring artists.

Micke Maskin, whom you might have seen in the swedish talant show latley, did his robotact, Zeniou performed with aerial ring and silks, Mattias Lindström stunned the audience with his roue cyr and together with his brother Mikael Lindström (Micke Maskin) they made everybody gasp for air with daring jumps and flips on stilts!



The kids were screaming of joy and excitment and they couldn´t belive their ears, or their eyes, when brilliant confrencier for the day Jesper Sjöberg told them that there was more to enjoy and brought Erik Saade up on stage. 3200 kids clapping hands, screaming, jumping and singing along when Erik entertained with the song he competed with in the swedish eurovision song contest.

It was a blast!

Up, down and around

This was the view we had working at Luftkastellet in Malmö.

And this is the crazy bunch: emiL dahL, Mr Jacoby, Maria Zeniou and me!

As you can see, I changed my hair!

Besides getting a haircut, working, doing a stunt in a swedish tv series and moving my pony to a new stable I have also been attending a beutiful workshop with master yogi Jonathan Monks. I truly adore him and the way he moves!

This past weekend has been filled with yogaclasses and teachertraining and this upcoming week is a potpurri of practice, yogaclasses and a secret event with secret artists that I will tell you more about in a few days.

L.o.v.e. & Play!!

Due to the law of balance? Hardly.

It´s going so well I have to pinch myself several times a day just to check that I´m not dreaming.

Workwise that is.

My private life is at best chaotic and most of the time dramatic.

But the challenges that my daily life teats me with forces me to grow in a awesome way, and I really think that thats why everything else is turning out so tremendlously!

There is a law about balance. When something is going not so great something else is going better to even things out.

But I don´t think that me doing well with both yogaclasses and performing is all to even out the turbulence in my life off the mat and on the ground...

(yoga and aerial joke)

I think that it´s because I´m ready and humble enough to handle it.

I´ve grown in a way that make me welcome my successes and celebrate them.

Because,

as they say in the commercial,

I´m worth it!

MAKING PEACE

There is always going to be someone who is stronger than me, more flexible than me and more skillful than me.
But does that mean that I´m not enough?

When I feel that I have to do more and be more I try to look into why I think like that and often I find that I´m quite ok with me, but I think that "others" would be more ok with me if I changed a little bit.

But would these "others" like me more if I got a little bit stronger, a little bit more flexible and a little bit more skillful?
Either they like me already or they probably would´nt even notice the change I´m trying to make.

And when I push myself, in this unloving way, to become something else in hope of that someone else will think more of me than they do - all kinds of fears blossoms inside along with judgemental thoughts about myself.
But when I let go of all the things that I think someone else want me to be - everything comes easier.


I like to push myself -for me.
I like to explore my bodys options - for the fun of it!

A day at work

If you visited Gymnasium in Gothenburg last saturday you maybe bumped into a clown?

That was me and my friends an ordinary day at work =)

Happy clown trying out the minibike!

Tall clown visiting Gymini!

Keep your eyes open and your heads up.

You´ll never know where we´ll turn up next time!

Life is there even when you´re not in it.

Walking my dog this morning I realized that I was not at all in the experience.

We had come more than half way when I almost tripped over a tree that had fallen over the path.
A tree!! Time to open my eyes and wake UP!

I`ve been in my head missing out on the surroundings - thinking about plans that I´ve made in the past that never will be carried out.

Plans that I made that never will happen because I was so in to making this plans that I missed what was happening around me, in my life.
How is that for irony?



It´s never to late to be in the now.

Live.
Love.
Play!

It´s your LIFE

You are what you throw away!

Whats in your trash?

...AND I FEEL FINE!!

Spring, summersun, music and I have a balcony!

Life is sweeeet.

Busy bee

This week has been awesome!

Two audiotions that went outstanding.

Sunny days.

A smile on my face that wont go away.

Energizing yogaclasses.

And the cold is slowly letting me go.

On monday next week I´ll have my first aerial chains audition, that has put a whole farm of butterfleis in my tummy already. Nervous or not, it is going to be so much fun and I´m really looking forward to it!

I´ve also been invited to two different breakfast-businessmeetings. One together with brilliant, multitalented aerialacrobat Maria Zeniou and one...

alone

Scary!

Candy overload

For the last, give or take, five days my daily diet has been based on candy. It´s not the best kind of diet, I know that, but due to the Easter holiday the candy has just been everywhere. And in my defence I´ve been far to sick to prepare any proper food.
This terrible cold as been bugging me all week and stoping me from practice.

But today all that is going to change:
I´m going to ignore my cold, hoping that it will get bored of me when I don´t give it any attention. Watching old Csi-episodes didn´t make it go away so this is my new stategy.
I´m going to eat food instead of candy. (That has to be a winner!)
And I´m going to practice, practice, practice and then practice some more.


Tonight it´s AcroYoga night!
Hope I´ll see you there.
Love, Light and Flight =)

Learning to fly!

It´s been an awsome weekend. I can´t stop smiling, and I hope I won´t.

Workshop with my beautiful acroyogateachers Ale and Pau from Barcelona.

Love, light and flight!

First time one hand-handstand assisted by fellow yogi Simon from Denmark.

Thank you Simon, You made it easy =)

To top things of, as if it could be any better... belive it can and it will.

My homegirl Sara is visiting from Oslo and I have plans to grab a lunch with a tremendous bass player from GB.

Is this international week or what?!

And there was light

Me and Maria Zeniou at the opening of And there was light, what you can´t tell from the picture is that I´m on stilts and Maria is in the air, climbing her silks.

My dress for the evening has a story of it´s own. It was a journey to find it but it turned out perfect and I was looking exactly like a famous painting of Leornardo da Vinci!

It´s been a good week.



Last friday I were stiltwalking at the opening of And there was light.



Since then I´ve been teaching a lot of yogaclasses, been sportsclimbing with joyful A.N., meeting up with a long, long time ago lost love, been to danceclass and practicing.

It´s been some really lifeturning events in my life recently and I decided to start ceeping a journal of my thoughts and findings about myself and my feelings. I have been recommended to do that from my teachers and I think it can be a good way for me not to loose what I find out and ceeping me from falling back into destructive patterns.

Life is a exciting rollercoaster!
