Faith

February 26, 20231 min read

The exploration of faith for me has been a journey of triggers and individuation.

Growing up in a Christian home in Germany shaped my early experiences with faith. It had fun elements to it and a sense of community which I enjoyed. The overwhelming feeling I have from it however is a sense of oppression which created resistance. Looking back now I see it was not the faith, but the religiosity aspect of it that repulsed me.

Later on travelling the world I felt very drawn to Eastern religions, tribal faith systems and modern teachings of spirituality. What fascinated me was the quest for understanding - the self, the meaning of life, the workings of the universe, etc.

What I realised is that where understanding came to its limits is where faith started. Faith is a powerful way to enable nervous system regulation in a world that is inherently a mystery. It’s a shortcut to trust.

I now see that the development of one’s own faith is an important part of maturation. In fact different faith system, similar to different nation states, provide what I see as operating systems for life. Depending on the experience I want I can go live in different countries and equally borrow elements from different faith systems.

At this moment in my life my spiritual practice and faith is an amalgamation of Nichiren Buddhism, mantra meditation, Gene Keys, Human Design, breathwork, sacred sexuality, plant medicine and cosmological observations.

What is your exploration in the realm of faith and spirituality?

NICE TO MEET YOU!

MY NAME IS TOBIAS.

I am a certified HRV and peak experience coach. I use bio-feedback technology, in particular heart rate variability (HRV), to enable people to find their flow states, regain health and live peak experience lives. A background in sustainable energy engineering coupled with a passion for spiritual modalities and energy in a broader context has led me to an approach that merges cognitive understanding with embodied experiences. I practices Buddhism and have presented my research globally, among others at MIT in Boston and the DRS conference on Future-focussed thinking.

When I look at the world I see unique connections between people, places and ideas. To me the world is an interconnected, holistic system - the oneness of self and environment.

Over the years and have met thousands of people in heart to heart dialogues when travelling over 50 countries, earning degrees from four universities, publishing a dozen academic papers, presenting my research at international conferences and working for world leading sustainability and digital research organisations.

I have been a contributor to House of Beautiful Business, Mindvalley, Evercoach and other initiatives cultivating new ways of working, fostering entrepreneurial mindsets and creating work cultures and environments that celebrate the whole human being. I view business as a vehicle for self-actualisation and believe that when done from a place of love and compassion that it holds the potential for healing our world.
