I see myself as someone seeking balance. Not a circus tightrope walker, but someone walking a delicate line between different worlds: entrepreneurship and spirituality, science and consciousness. Each step calls for attention and humility. Every moment is an exploration.
I do not claim to have ready-made answers. I simply observe, feel, experiment… and admit that I do not know. Perhaps that is where true openness begins.
Quantum physics is often invoked in therapeutic and spiritual discussions. Entanglement, energy, vibration… These are powerful, appealing words, often used to explain what we do not yet understand.
For me, it is important to distinguish established quantum phenomena from the meanings we give them in everyday language. Observing and controlling quantum effects requires particular experimental conditions; their existence does not, in itself, establish a mechanism for the intentional transmission of thoughts or therapeutic effects at a distance.
So why continue to use the language of quantum physics? Because it can serve as a metaphor, a language that opens the imagination. But I now choose to distinguish that metaphor from an actual physical mechanism.
Life speaks to me through rhythms and oscillations: the heartbeat, breathing, brain activity and hormonal cycles. Some of these rhythms can be felt directly; others are observed through measurement.
In my practice, I sometimes experience what I call “resonance”. By that, I do not mean a measurable physical transfer. I mean a sense of alignment, a subtle dialogue, a shared state.
That experience is real to me as an experience. It does not, on its own, establish a particular scientific mechanism.
Neuroscience offers valuable insights into the relationships between brain activity and subjective experience. It investigates the neural processes associated with particular conscious experiences and the conditions that support them.
For me, describing those relationships does not settle every question about the nature of consciousness.
I do not take correlation alone to mean identity. I recognise the close relationship between brain activity and lived experience, while choosing not to view consciousness solely through that lens. Science informs my understanding, but I do not regard it as the only language through which to explore experience.
Life is constantly changing. It involves relationships, adaptation, memory and interaction. When I try to understand it, I am reminded that any measurement offers a particular view of this ongoing movement.
Science can capture and study aspects of that process, and that is valuable. Yet the life I experience continues to unfold.
Francisco Varela’s work on neurophenomenology offers a way of bringing the disciplined study of lived experience into dialogue with cognitive science.
That possibility resonates deeply with me. It reminds me that humility is the starting point of any exploration.
I have learnt that questioning dogma matters. A spirituality that claims to explain everything, a science treated as though it could reduce everything to a single account — I do not want to adopt either position.
My choice is to move forward through dialogue: welcoming scientific rigour, attending to experience and remaining alert to what I do not understand.
I walk this line with my limited certainties, my observations and my intuitions.
This phrase, which means so much to me, is not an admission of weakness. It is an opening.
Admitting that I do not know gives me permission to listen, explore and welcome whatever might emerge.
Paradoxically, it is often within that space of uncertainty that I find unexpected answers and possibilities I had not considered.
Science continues to explore.
Consciousness continues to be experienced.
Entrepreneurship creates.
Spirituality asks questions.
And I continue along my line, step by step, in a delicate balance. I find myself returning again and again to these words:
I know that I do not know.
And so I wonder… if you allowed yourself to welcome uncertainty, what might you discover?
This reflection on the balance between science, consciousness and lived experience connects with the spirit of the Être à sa place method.
It is not about knowing everything or seeking absolute certainty. It is about learning to return to your centre, observe what is happening within you and develop the discernment to act with greater awareness.
To explore this approach further, I invite you to discover my book Être à sa place, in which I share my experience and the journey that led me to develop the method.
The book is available in French only.
