Autorentext
For Jeannette Stockinger, the mountains are a place of freedom. She loves the stillness and peace of nature. When she decided to radically change her life, a few years ago, the mountains became her personal place to reflect, recharge her batteries and let go. After studying at the Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration with stays abroad in England, Canada and Switzerland, and earning a master's degree in Communication, Jeannette Stockinger gained professional experience in marketing and product development. At the age of twenty, while travelling through America, she discovered her true passion: the practice of yoga. That one yoga class completely changed my life, she says enthusiastically. Since then, she has deepened her knowledge and daily practice in various styles of yoga and meditation with local and international teachers. She is also learning the technique of systemic constellation work in a dialogue context, with Eelco de Geus and Karin Schöber. The combination of yoga and systemic constellations eventually led her to systemic bodywork, which she intensified with her teacher Siawasch Peyman. She soon realised that her ability to feel and perceive was a great gift in her life. Jeannette shares her experience in the fields of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, holistic health and consciousness development with individuals and companies in the form of consultations, courses and seminars. She expresses her creativity in words, paintings, illustrations and various art projects. The Mountain Dreamer A Travel Companion to Yourself is her first book as an author. www.jeannettestockinger.com

Leseprobe
At the beginning of the journey She was a woman who lived her life full of inner contentment. At least she thought so, until the day an encounter on the mountain completely changed her life. From then on, change was the only constant in her life. And she learned to embrace it. For several years now, the Mountain Dreamer has been sitting at the foot of the mountain listening to the constant changes of the seasons. The mountain is both her life and her dream. What does nature show us that we humans have not yet understood? What does nature want to teach us? a voice speaks to her. She lives for the adventures on the steep slopes and in the dangerous gorges. She loves the tranquillity of the summit and the calming view of the distance, of our universe. The universe fascinates her. She lifts her head and looks up at a sky full of stars. The Milky Way, like our spine, moves freely through space and time. Like our cells, the stars shine in the sky and the planets circle endlessly, like a breath that flows through our lungs. The infinite process of being. The passing of the seasons. Let us look at life as a recurring process on earth, like the seasons, a coming and going. Look at your navel and connect with Mother Nature. Feel yourself! What do you feel through your navel? her inner voice asks. Everyone is connected to Mother Nature and therefore, we are all one. From the earth to the stars, love flows through our universe. In that moment the woman realises that she is. As she needs nothing more than to be. Everything after being is already nothing, because life only needs you to be. And you already are. Find the one who exists before death and before birth and has always been there. The one who never becomes anything, but gives space to everything. This is what I wish for you, dear reader. Namaste! Your Mountain Dreamer
