Reflections on coaching, quantum field work, and the science of transformation.
Series · 01/07Some people have everything under control and feel nothing any more. Others feel a great deal and never decide. Others again have both — and still nothing moves. Marcus Schmieke derives exactly three basic motions from a single act, and with them three ways a life gets stuck. Part 1 of seven.
Series · 02/07From outside the two look identical. One holds its shape because nothing flows; the other because nothing ever stands still. A relationship, a team, a daily routine can be perfectly orderly and completely lifeless — and there is an unexpected question that tells them apart.
Series · 03/07„But I know all this already.“ And it is usually true — the pattern is named, its origin explained, and still nothing changes. Marcus Schmieke's definition of mind says very precisely why: a chart in a drawer steers nothing. Plus: why curiosity is the metabolism of the mind.
Series · 04/07„I don't know who I am any more“ — after a separation, a job loss, a farewell. We hear it as the loss of something one had. If the self is a performance rather than a possession, it reads differently: not a lost object, but a stage cleared away. And: why the mirrors stop at exactly three.
Series · 05/07Concentration or open awareness? On this model both are two terms of one motion — and the old dispute between the schools reads as two failures of the same balance. Plus a structural prediction: the step into stillness is far cheaper than the step into self-knowledge.
Series · 06/07Does a person need others to be whole? The question splits in two, and both halves have an answer: the capacity to be a self closes alone — fullness arises only in relation. Plus five grades of encounter, and two questions that dissolve many conflicts.
Series · 07/07You weigh it up for months, and one morning it is settled — and you never find the instant it tipped. There is no push to find: the months of weighing were the deciding. Plus what remains of a person, and why the most honest thing about this book is its ending.
A large meta-analysis of more than 130 studies shows: touch reliably improves wellbeing — and how often matters more than how long. The honest truth about the 20-second rule, the study everyone quotes only half of, and why it is rarely a coincidence when a home runs short of hugs.
Someone does you a favour and something starts calculating. Gratitude and the sense of owing are two different feelings — and an experiment with 759 people shows what decides between them. Not the size of the gesture, but whether the intention behind it can be read.
Gratitude works — but not the part you practise. In the best study on the question, gratitude lists were indistinguishable from the control group, while a sentence said to another person was not. And the larger share of the effect lands on them, not on you.
A sentence you repeat changes less than the moment you attach it to. Research has barely looked at affirmations themselves — but it does show what helps: a concrete cue, a sentence small enough to believe, and permission for it not to be entirely true.
We can explain decisions convincingly even when their real trigger escapes us. That is not self-deception — and in coaching it matters: the first ‘why’ is a hypothesis. Clarity grows by examining patterns, triggers and exceptions together.
It is not the perfect streak that changes you, but beginning again. The study found a range of 18 to 254 days — and showed that missing one day barely affects progress. In coaching, that means: start small, use a clear cue and continue after interruptions.
We do not see everything in front of us — we mainly see what our attention is prepared to find. In coaching, that means: do not merely look harder; change the question guiding your gaze. Only then can what was missing from the familiar focus become visible.
Emotion and feeling are not quite the same — and that difference creates room for choice. Six practical steps from automatic reflex to conscious response.
Inner calm does not depend on your circumstances — it is a trainable state. Discover why old patterns behave like riverbeds and how you can begin to carve a new one.
A coach doesn’t need to have all the answers. Wolfgang Blüml explains why authenticity and strategy matter more than a perfect life — and what the two levels of real coaching are.
What if the universe knows more about you than you do yourself? Wolfgang Blüml explains the information field, the light quantum effect, and why the TimeWaver is a mirror — not an oracle.
What if nature is not a mechanical system of fixed laws, but an evolving organism with its own memory? Wolfgang Blüml explores Sheldrake's morphic fields and their connection to quantum field work.
What happens when you combine an intensive coaching session with three weeks of TimeWaver harmonization? A randomized pilot study with 127 participants gives a clear answer.
