When do we become really happy?
As soon as we start playing roles that suit us as unique individuals.
That is when we become truly energetic!
In my roles as Erik Stout, blogger, educational actor, and holistic bodyworker, I wish to help you on your way to finding your balance…and joy!
Blog
After the realization that Erik N. Stout was just one of my many roles, I cultivated a passion for broadening my horizon by any means possible. With the articles and stories in this blog, I aim to stimulate the ability to change our perspectives, increase our collective awareness, and to approach life with more humor and relaxation.
Educational Acting
A five of spades can never become a queen of hearts, but the jolly joker can play any card in the deck. Why? Because the Joker has been liberated from identification with any card in particular.
Moreover, the benign nature of Jesters empower them with the ability to care sincerely for those of us who are trapped in certain roles and patterns. That is why a true jester makes an ideal educational actor. For besides the ability to play any role and maintaining a helicopter view, jesters wish to create a safe learning environment where people can surpass themselves.
I wish for nothing less.
Bodywork
To spread joy, one needs to be joy. And to be joy, one needs to be engaged with activities that make one happy and energetic.
Since bodywork (physiotherapy, massage, etc.) and the process of becoming intimately familiar with one’s own body create relaxation, energy, and joy, I happily deploy these skills to help you find your balance.
For whereas physical touch disappears more and more from my previous field of physiotherapy, regaining its healing and energizing properties through bodywork not only makes me happy and healthy, but, even more important: you as well.
Our Adventure
More and more I regard any role I’m allowed to play as an adventure in itself. Whether it be drummer, traveller, charity activist, actor, student, teacher, son, brother, little red riding hood, consumer, citizen, jester, or what have you; each contributes to the incredible story that slowly unfolds as my current incarnation.
By means of sharing these adventures, I encourage you to start regarding all the different roles you play in a similar manner. For each role contributes to the marvellous story that is you, and my wish for you is to become fully aware of their contribution to your story.
