“For me, that’s what the Aspekte Panorama is all about: gaining clarity in your life, clarifying your goals, and manifesting good energy.”

  • Why did I want to try the Aspekte Panorama?

    Curiosity. Pure curiosity.

    Like playing the Lotto and hoping for the win.

    In my Current Life Situation, I felt a little bit like I was losing my path with my work – other opinions and influences were having a negative influence on my art.

    I was becoming a father and had worries I’d no longer have time to be an artist, that I’d just be a dad strolling with a pram through Berlin. This felt unpleasant. I saw I needed to improve my habits. I needed to improve how I see and deal with myself to get better results in my life, especially in my career.

  • In my Optimal Life space, I realised I need to sell a lot of work to be successful.

    Moving the blocks around, I discovered a lot of power, a lot of energy. I felt so much more confident in my art. I was no longer giving a fuck what others think, especially with regards to my work. I didn’t feel I was being pushed around by other opinions or influences.

    But the realisation of power: that was the most impactful thing.

  • After the session, I was so pumped and full of energy.

    You know those times you have with friends that leave you in a hyped mood? The effect of the Aspekte Panorama was like that but way more intense. I was in such a positive mood, like I’d never experienced before.

    I was positively driven. I had clarity and a vision for my future.

    After the birth of my son, it was a completely different situation. I was worried I’d lose what I gained from the session. But whenever I feel tired or exhausted, or if things get too much, I just think back to how I felt in my Optimal Life situation and somehow, the power comes with this thought.

    If I restart now with daily routines, I feel like I can recall the resources I defined in the session. It was a relief to know that it’s all still there. I no longer have the worry that now I’m a dad, I can’t be an artist – I no longer have that feeling.

    And I think much more positively about my work and what I do, with more confidence. Months later, I had a breakthrough with my style.

    For me, that’s what the Aspekte Panorama is all about: gaining clarity in your life, clarifying your goals, and manifesting good energy.

    I’m already looking forward to the next session.

“It’s pushed me to be more honest with myself, to believe in myself a little bit more, and to ask for more.”

  • It had been a pretty hard year.

    I was worried about repressed emotions building up after everything that had happened over the past 12 months, both in my family and my relationships. I was starting to recognise problems from my childhood and problems in how I was acting in my relationships.

    In the Aspekte Panorama, I loved that I didn’t need to talk about things. It felt good putting it all out there on the floor with the wooden blocks, to have an overview of my life. But I also felt sad seeing my life as it was. I felt guilty about where I actually perceived certain people – it was really surprising. I realised who the negative people in my life were.

    I also realised how important my career is and the positive aspects this brings. Friends were also an influential aspect.

  • In my optimal life space, it was really difficult to ask for things, to want things for myself; I just didn’t have enough self-belief. But we kept on working and I had moments where it felt really good. For split seconds, I believed in myself. I really wanted to go and work in the US. I just still felt uncomfortable wanting it. I realised I needed more support to get there.

  • What was good about my Aspekte Panorama?

    Even though I wasn’t completely honest with myself in the session, it’s pushed me to be more honest with myself since, to believe in myself a little bit more and ask for more things.

    And what was bad?

    Realising I have to expose myself to all this fucking shit I don’t want to do before I can do what I do want to do!

    I knew I wanted to start working in the US.

    So, I started putting myself willingly in situations where I’d always felt uncomfortable. I was being more reflective in terms of what I want in life, setting more goals.

    Whenever I was asking people for help, my confidence dropped. I always got this knot in stomach and then my thoughts spiralled into self-doubt. But I learned that most people agreed to help!

    When I met the lawyer to sort out my Visa for the States, I felt super insecure. But afterwards I was so excited.

    I made it happen for myself: in December, I’m going to start working in New York.

“When I crossed from my Current Situation into my Optimal Situation, it felt liberating. I’d realised a way forward in my life.”

  • How did I get to where I am today? What do I truly want? Where do I want to go?

    I was feeling completely lost and started to consider that my life hadn’t turned out the way I’d wanted. And maybe I was responsible for that.

    I’d just gone through a break-up and everything felt like a mess. Blaming others and blaming circumstance didn’t change the fact I wasn’t where I wanted to be. I had no dots to join.

    I saw the Aspekte Panorama as an opportunity to reflect, to be honest with myself, and maybe even put myself back in the driver’s seat.

    Stepping into my current life space didn’t feel nice. Suddenly, I was confronted with everything that had happened in my life. I had no choice but to be honest with myself. If I’d been forced to talk about it all, I’d never have been able to face the traumas in my life. But putting down the wooden blocks and accepting aspects of my past without judgement allowed me to face them and move on. I was able to forgive.

  • Building my optimal life was incredibly difficult. Why? Seeing what I didn’t want was easy, but what I did want? That still alluded me.

    I started putting down blocks representing things I didn’t truly want.

    Reiss observed my body language the whole time - he saw I wasn’t being honest. When he confronted me I felt anger, but he was absolutely right! On one hand, I finally realised everything I’d believed I’d wanted so far in my life was false. But on the other hand, I saw a chance to just let go of it all, to see my life as a blank canvas where I could create a new path to follow – a path with the kind of people I want, the energy I want, the actions I need to take. A path I could believe might lead to something positive. The key to moving forward was honesty and acceptance.

    On the fourth attempt, I did it.

    I adjusted my family situation –  I knew I wanted a partner to live my life with, a well-suited partner, but that also meant me being honest with myself about what I actually want from a partner.

    I realised the importance of financial success in order to be able to live my life with freedom.

    Having the typical house and children set-up was no longer the focus of my vision. Instead, I allowed myself flexibility and openness to what happens when I find the right partner

    How did it feel? “Liberating” is such an overly-used word nowadays, but when I crossed from my current life into my optimal life, it honestly felt liberating. I’d realised a way forward in my life.

    And most importantly, I felt proud. Proud for being honest with myself, for being prepared to take responsibility for my own future.

  • I’ve felt way more relaxed and at ease with life since my Aspekte Panorama. I know for a fact my energy changed after my session. Nothing in my life changed immediately, but suddenly I felt fucking great. This change in energy helped me make the decisions I’d needed to make. I had faith in my future, the courage to quit my job, and I finally dared to say “fuck it, I’m gonna give it a try” in a career path I’d always wanted to pursue.

    Sure, it wasn’t easy all the time, but I could stomach the dark hours, the doubts, the fears about the uncertainty, and throughout it all I felt great.

    There were traumas that had bothered me for over 20 years that I could finally distance myself from. I no longer felt the need to talk about them.

    I was suddenly very happy and at ease with my recent break up –  I felt very free. I was no longer looking for a relationship, no longer concerned about being alone. And by chance, just a few months later, I met my future wife.

    Of course, there are still things I want to work on, but now I know I can pin them down and improve them in a healthy, balanced way. And I’ve already identified what I want to tackle in my next session.

Wolfgang Wimmer

“I dared to do some new things in my life. And realised that nobody will push me across the line – I have to push myself.”

  • After working over 20 years as an acting coach, I was suddenly facing a completely new situation: retirement. I needed a change. But I’m afraid of change. Even using a new pillow is a process for me. Still, I had this urge to do something, you know?

    Maybe the Aspekte Panorama could help me… 

  • At first, I found the Aspekte Panorama hard. Why? Because it meant being completely honest with myself without knowing the outcome. But Reiss made it real easy to trust in myself. It was a slow, gentle process.

    My Current Life Situation was a negative space. I realised I’ve always been pulled into the miserable side of my life through habits and thoughts. I was amazed I didn’t have to delve into my past - working with the wooden blocks made everything so much easier. I just let go.

  • Then came the hardest part:

    My Optimal Life Situation.

    Stepping into a space to create something for myself was super challenging. I felt resistance, but also a need to accept change. I knew I didn’t want to continue living the same life. So, I pushed through the resistance and, for the first time, accepted help.

    The physical act? Stepping over that thin line separating my Current Life from the new life I’d just created? Of course, that’s easy. But I remember very, very clearly the entire mental process: moving from my life as it was, to embracing a new life and accepting change - that was hard. 

    What was the outcome for me?

    I dared to do some new things in my life. And realised that nobody will push me across the line – I have to push myself.

“The whole process gave me a sense of organisation and order.”

  • I was lost in Berlin.

    I felt stuck.

    I needed a change, but didn’t know exactly why, what, or where.

    Emotionally, I felt completely blocked, like I had so much inside of me that I couldn’t get out.

    The only stability was my photography – I was successful, I had a name, but something was missing.

    On the day of the Aspekte Panorama, I didn’t know what to expect. Mainly, I was just interested to see what’s going to happen...

    In my Current Life Situation, I remember it felt nice to place down everything that I was dealing with. It was just a relief to see it all there in front of me, you know?

    I felt intrigued by the situation, standing there, next to all my problems…

    Somehow, it was comforting to at least have an overview of what was playing a role in my life.

  • I really longed for the sun. In my optimal life, this was the basis for everything.

    We integrated a beach and good weather.

    I knew I wanted to move away from commercial work and focus on a new project of my own.

    I wanted to feel part of a community, to feel like I belong, to feel loved.

    The whole process gave me a sense of organisation and order.

  • After the session, I took seeds from my Optimal Life Situation and started planting them and developing them, watching them grow.

    I found a better balance between my passions and commercial work and made the decision to focus on a project for myself.

    In the weeks afterwards, I was able to fix my attention and my energy on writing. The Aspekte Panorama accelerated the process of creating a book about my life and my photography. This also allowed me to reach some understandings about life in general.

    The whole experience was a confirmation for myself of where I want to be in life.

    It gave me clarity and order and accelerated my progress towards my goals.

Dwayne Byfield

“In the days and weeks after the Aspekte Panorama, I felt lighter, more focused, and a feeling of intensity about my mission.”

  • I’d been going through a lot of changes in life, both in my family and professionally. These changes were putting pressure on me physically and mentally.

    What attracted me to try the Aspekte Panorama? The fact it could help me without divulging private aspects of my life to another person.

    I’d always tried to reflect on life with frequency and honesty, so I didn’t go in with any big expectations.

    But in the Aspekte Panorama, I was able to look at my life with even more honesty. At first it felt heavy, very direct. And then, finally, I understood:

    I was the main problem in my life!

  • I’d also come to a realization. It was something that was already there, but always hidden in shadow. Now it was right in front of me.

    My direction was clear.

    My mission was clear.

  • In the days and weeks after the Aspekte Panorama, I felt lighter and more focused, with a feeling of intensity about my mission.

“What are my main takeaways? The realisation that my wishes can come true if I’m prepared to take detours.”

  • The Aspekte Panorama was recommended to me by my friend Dwayne. So, without any expectations, I booked a session completely open to whatever might come.

  • I found the "journey" that Reiss sent me on and guided me through exciting and enlightening.

    After the session I felt a little tired, but somehow also very confident - a wonderful feeling.

  • What are my main takeaways? The realisation that my wishes can come true if I’m prepared to take detours.

    And that the path to "happiness" - a big word - is within me. I always remind myself of this realisation; this new knowledge!

“The end result felt good - I was motivated and focused on a more streamlined version of my life.”

  • I was looking for an alternative way to communicate my feelings than conventional sort of therapy.

    The physical side of Aspekte Panorama intrigued me, the whole concept of using space and wooden blocks to look at your life. But mostly I was curious and went in with a completely open mind.

    The space of my current life felt vague, like a shadow over me. One or two aspects brought up some emotions and in general there was just a lot going on - it was overwhelming.

    I remember using a lot of blocks and everything was a bit of a blur.

  • Moving into my optimal space, I felt excited about moving forward in my life.

    I wanted to be successful in whatever it is I want to do, something that keeps me focused every day. I realised I wanted to have children in the next 5 years.

    The end result felt good - I was motivated and focused on a more streamlined version of my life.

    I definitely felt more clarity recognising a smaller array of things I wanted to work on.

  • Generally, in the months immediately after my session, I felt very positive and driven. My health became my number one priority and I’ve been super focused on exercise – I’d always participated, but I’m much more focused now.

    Ever since I moved to Germany I’ve avoided learning German, but suddenly I had this urge to take lessons. But I’ve also learnt that I can’t do everything at once. I’ve had to slow down a bit and prioritise, reminding myself that life’s a long journey.

    Realising I wanted to have children in my session meant I was able to have an honest conversation with my partner.

    Life is still life, but it always feels good to reflect on my Optimal Life Situation and remember what it is that I want from mine.
