30 days with Hildegard von Bingen

daily meditation and contemplation with an 11th century mystic

Read about it on the blog CLICK HERE

The program runs for 30 days, from the 16th of January to the 14 February, 2026

Though she was a medieval Christian mystic and nun she believed in practical spirituality and daily contemplative practice that is relevant to one’s life. As you will see the daily sharing she offers for us to contemplate is rather ‘relevant’. For example, some days we are asked to contemplate on our choices in life, on other days, we will contemplate on how we view our own sexuality.

She created a daily practice schedule with short daily meditative prayers of her visionary messages that we will do at the start of the day. And then there will be exercises suggested for the end of the day, too.

SUGGESTIONS

The purpose of this program is to open a gate for you to gain spiritual insight and wisdom. We are all connected to the Source/Divine Presence/God (use your own word). It is a kind of video book for a special kind of spiritual journey that offers insight and guidance. Please remember that this program intends to ‘free’ your spirit not to confine it so please go with what feels right. I offer a structure for you but you do not need to follow it if it does not work for you.

Don’t be surprised if you understand nothing. Understanding is not the point! Go with what feels right, simply allow Spirit to guide you through the next 30 days.

30 days with Hildegard von Bingen

The story of Hildegard von Bingen

the daily meditation and contemplation program starts on 16 january 2026

Watch a short video introduction

Hildegard of Bingen lived between 1098-1179. She was a benedictine nun with extraordinary talent and accomplishment that have made her a source of inspiration and admiration. She was a mystic an a visionary, but she was also a prophet, a reformer, a scientist, an encyclopedist, a composer, and a dramatist – a Renaissance personality well before the Renaissance.

She wrote numerous books on various subject such as natural science, animals, natural medicine, holistic health, music, theology and her powerful spiritual visions.

She stands out from mystics as well who mostly wrote out of an intense personal experience of God. Instead Hildegard was a visionary and a prophet. She does not use the ‘divine-spouse’ approach to spirituality. She invites us through her insights to seek to penetrate the mystery of God and to live consciously in Its presence day by day.

Though she was a medieval Christian mystic and nun she believed in practical spirituality and daily contemplative practice that is relevant to one’s life. As you will see the daily sharing she offers for us to contemplate is rather ‘relevant’. Some days we are asked to contemplate on our choices in life, on other days, we will contemplate on how we view our own sexuality.

She created a daily practice schedule with short daily meditative prayers of her visionary messages that we will do at the start of the day. And then there will be exercises suggested for the end of the day, too.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Reading, reflecting and Praying is the three-fold activity that we will be doing daily. I will read out a two-part message for you so you can listen to it in a meditative posture. You are asked to contemplate on the message and use the mantra throughout the day and make notes for yourself on your discoveries. In the evening there will be a closing prayer.

Every morning and evening set aside a few quiet moments (about 5-6min) where you can listen to the video without disruption.

If you can write down the mantra of the day and read it out for yourself regularly and just observe what happens.

SUGGESTIONS

The purpose of this program is to open a gate for you to gain spiritual insight and wisdom. We are all connected to the Source/Divine Presence/God (use your own word).

HU, the sound

Rosh Hashanah

The Jewish New Year

“Use everything for your upliftment and growth’

I approach every event of my life and everything in it with a great sense of practicum. Though I like contemplating on the affairs of the world, events, people’s character or my behaviour, at the end of the day, my question stays the same: So, how am I going to use this for my upliftment and growth? I am not willing to brood over or judge the ‘unfairness’ of life: I KNOW that there are no coincidences and each life event offers an opportunity to gain greater awareness of my existence.

This is why I like observing different spiritually infused or religious celebrations. Today we are celebrating Rosh Hashanah, the New Year, in the Jewish tradition.

Some information on Rosh Hashanah:

The two days of Rosh Hashanah usher in the Ten Days of Repentance (Aseret Yemei Teshuvah), also known as the Days of Awe (Yamim Noraim), which culminate in the major fast day of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement. The Days of Awe represent the climax of a longer process. Starting at the beginning of the previous month, called Elul, the shofar is traditionally sounded at the conclusion of the morning service. A ram’s horn that makes a trumpet-like sound, the shofar is intended as a wake-up call to prepare for the Tishrei holidays. One week before Rosh Hashanah, special petitionary prayers called Selichot are added to the ritual. Rosh Hashanah itself is also known as Yom Hadin or the Day of Judgment, on which God opens the Books of Life and Death, which are then sealed on Yom Kippur.

The prayer book for the High Holidays is called the Mahzor. Three unique sets of prayers are added to the morning service during Rosh Hashanah. These are known as Malkhuyot, which address the sovereignty of God, Zikhronot, which present God as the one who remembers past deeds, and Shofarot, in which we stand in nervous anticipation of the future.

Each of these sections culminates in the blasts of the shofar, the most potent symbol of the holiday. The shofar is alluded to in the most memorable Torah reading for the holiday, the Akedah or Binding of Isaac (Genesis 22). The story and the shofar serve as reminders of the covenant between God and the people of Israel, carrying with them the message of sacrifice, hope, and continuity.

This is the time of year during which we are to atone for both our individual — and on Yom Kippur, our communal — sins committed over the course of the previous year, before God literally closes the books on us and inscribes our fates for the coming year. God’s rule over humanity and our need to serve God are stressed time and again over the course of the holiday.
