I was in São Jorge Island in the beginning of this month of November by myself. I stayed there for two weeks in a bungalow with a beautiful view right in front of me, which was Pico. I had that view before, in the past. And even from another island, but this time I was there, looking, and every time I put my eyes on pico I remembered you Rahel. I’m glad you stayed! When I landed in Lisbon my wish was immediately to go back again to the islands.. Maybe one day I can build my own bungalow in one of the Island and Stay too.
Thank you for keeping me in your thoughts. I'm happy for you that you had such a memorable time here. São Jorge is a very very special Island. Thank you for sharing your experience, Sérgio. Best wishes to you!
Thank you for being honest. I always appreciate sincerity... Especially in social media, where it is so easy to hide the lows and only reveal the beautiful highs. Take care!!
Thank you, Nenne. Thank you for acknowledging and appreciating my honesty. Being vulnerable and sincere especially in public comes with a lot of discomfort, embarrassment and also fear but being authentically myself and speaking my truth is very important to me because it enables me to accept myself better and because I really don't want to contribute to the perfect images which often get portrayed on Social Media. After all nobody is better than someone else. We are all figuring life out as we go and therefore we are all sitting in the same boat. I hope you are doing well. Sending you my love!
I am living on Flores now for 6.5 years... Here I could "hear" my thoughts again without permanent interruptions. The change of mind is a long process in ourselves... but surrounded by peaceful beautiful nature it's much easier. I feel at home now...
Another great and powerful video! I could not agree more! Even living in a paradise, our internal ghosts find us. We have to face them and get on with our life! Keep up the good work. 🙂
Reminds me of the saying "Always remember: No matter where you go. . .there you are” . Your video is a beautiful visual essay on finding peace for troubled souls. Enquiring spirits that just don't want to settle. That's a Gift. In the journey there is joy and growth. Not the destination. Even if that destination is a beautiful Island in the Azores. But part of success is being able to self reflect in the way you do here, and not walk the world with our eyes closed, ultimately unfulfilled. Wishing you growth and success.
Thank you for your genuinely kind and wise words, Allan, they were in particularly heartwarming to read. It makes me so very happy that you not only relate but understand deeply what I was sharing in this video. I wish you nothing but the best!
Hi Rahel, Remember that even Sadness creates beauty.. Soldiers say, we left the war, But the war doesn't leaves us.... Yes, wherever we go, we take our difilculties with us.. But in Time the sharpest edges will fade in time. Believe me, they do, But first we have to go profoundly.. They have to, so other wise what's the point... Sometimes alone, but even if possible someone to guide us.. To hold our hand,, or just to be there.. Emotional images from Pico. Thank you.......Alberto
Thank you, Alberto for sharing your thoughts, I appreciate it especially knowing you are speaking from experience. Sadness matters and I know that when I experience phases of it that it's there for a reason.
Great video....the secret to life is first and foremost love yourself (not in a narcissistic way)...and then work out what is really, really important to you In terms of The Azores, my biggest fear is that it will become over commercialised as we've seen in Madeira
Thank you so much, Martel! I'm glad you enjoyed my video. I totally agree, this is a fear of mine as well and we are definitely heading quickly into that direction.
@@RahelStadler I toured San Miguel on a motorcycle in 2018...the best holiday I've ever had...the people are amazing....the island is amazing....hope to get back in 2023
This moved me a lot. I was born in the Azores. Still living here. And will never understand why i feel so Alone. Many Times i think of just leaving. I ser everyone happy or pretending. I just got 40 and can't really Relate to nothing. Anyway, amazing video.
Dear Durval. Thank you for watching this video and sharing so honestly how you feel. I highly appreciate that. Just know that you are not alone with feeling alone. I think a lot of people nowadays feel very alone and oftentimes lost but not many are showing it or sharing it as openly as you do. I also feel alone frequently, most of the time when I'm not connected to myself, so I deeply understand the feeling of not being able to relate to anything but you have a light inside of you, try to find it, try to find what makes you feel good. I wish you all the best from the bottom of my heart!
@@RahelStadler Your comment was very honest and kind. Thank you for your words. I still struggle a lot with feeling "Lost" in the middle of what it seems an happy crowd. The sea helps. The nature as well. So does writing. But at the end of the day i would say connecting with random souls that think or feel like me would help eventually. Thank you and all the best for you dear Rahel
You are most welcome. I know it's hard but try not to compare yourself to others around you and remember that basically everyone is struggling with something behind closed doors. It's wonderful that nature, writing and connecting with likeminded people is helping you, so try to surround yourself with more of that and less with people and things which make you feel even more lost. Best wishes to you!
"move to another place in my mind and therefore free myself internally" "move to a better place which isn't contaminated by my negative experiences and feelings, but there is no such place because it is within me wherever I go." " moving in terms of changing my mind is what enables me to live a peaceful life." There was a time when I absolutely hated what was going on and wished to move away from myself.... but just like you, I realized that I can never get away from myself, from my thoughts and from my mind. And, I too learned, eventually, that the key was to change my mind. Actually, "I change my mind" is a powerful phrase and I use it any time unwanted thought sneaks by me. Thank you.
You're most welcome. You can be very proud of yourself, Eve. It is not easy to admit and follow the need of changing your mind towards yourself or others. Kudos to you for actively using this phrase!
This reminds me of Nina Simone’s Sinnerman for some reason. It’s been my experience that standing in one’s own vulnerability is one of the most powerful choices we can make. An interesting paradox of weakness and courage. The holy of holys by which we pivot from one reality to another…then into another…
Dear Roger. Thank you so much for taking the time and sharing your thoughts. I just intentionally listened to Nina Simone's masterpiece and combined with your comment it impacted me in a different way. I greatly value your perspective and I feel very enriched and inspired by your wise words. Sending my best wishes to you!
Helga is going to be okay. She is undergoing surgery to remove her hip and it can help prolong her life. She is a brave dog. The hatchery is a major hit. We can rebound from dark times. There is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Our rooster Napoleon got into a battle with a weasel. He won the battle almost losing his life. I have completed the hatchery is complete and it will add a considerable amount to Lake Winnipesaukee and it's wildlife.
Just come back from my 2nd visit in a month to the Açores. This time it was Faial São Jorge Pico and Terceira. I will return next month for 12 days and use São Miguel as a 'base' to reach out to Flores and Corvo...... I lived in NZ for many years and some parts of the islands remind me of the North of the North Island of NZ. However it's the summer and it's warm/sunny and relatively dry ... speaking to the locals in Portuguese and also expats in English, my impression is that one needs to be of 'strong character' to embrace/cope with the winters .... anyway - whilst your film was quite dark at times, I was pleased to hear that you faced your issues as opposed to changing location. Well done and congrats for conveying it so well with your filmography 🤙🏼
Thank you so much for appreciating my filmography and for sharing your own experiences and impressions. I find it very interesting to hear your perspective. I agree that the winters here are not for everyone. Also I'm so happy for you that you are able to explore so many islands of the archipelago in such a short amount of time. Enjoy!
So sorry to here the last few years have not been as idyllic as I had thought, but so glad to here you have faced these issues and have moved forward. We all have these internal battles and sometimes the more time we have to think about them the harder they become . Take care my friend and thank you once again for taking time to show us your home and share your thoughts
Thank you, Eddie for your sincere compassion and your understanding. I really appreciate it. I suspected that my Island life came across a bit more idyllic on social media than it was in reality and so it was very important to me to be honest and to not feed the illusion that my life in paradise is perfect. Take care as well. Sending you my best wishes from Pico!
Your photoscenic skills just keep on improving Rahel - this one ever more powerful and perhaps a tad more subtle with the blending of the scenes in the video with the words and music outstanding. However, I was disappointed that you didn't walk around barefoot like in your other videos! 😉 Yes, totally agree with you - once again - that changing locations is not the answer - well, at least changing geographical locations - better to change (possible with hard work, diligence and discipline) the landscape within one's mind. I was on a personal development course once and a participant declared he was going to live in France "to get away from it all and start afresh" but by the time the teacher had finished explaining what was really happening, the gentleman accepted it was better to deal with the issues where he was. That was a salutary lesson for everyone present. I see parallels with this example in what you described. Better to stay put (if possible) and deal with the issues where they occur. It is very pleasing to hear that you have turned the corner: building a structure that withstands the challenges of Life is a monumental, but eminently rewarding, task - indeed, a Life time's work. I wish I understood more..... Congratulations on you getting this far.
I'm sorry, Charles for disappointing you because I wasn't barefoot this time, but to make this 9 minute video I did spend 6 hours in the pouring rain and it was cold but I'll make up for it in my next video if it stops raining until then 😉 Thank you for sharing this very memorable example, for your sincere understanding and encouragement and for diving into each of my videos so deeply. It's always a pleasure and I very much appreciate it.
@@RahelStadler on reconsidering the "Barefoot in the Azores" part, I would hate to be the cause of some dreadful cold so perhaps waiting for next summer might be a better bet. 😃 On many occasions it has crossed my mind we are on a similar course - along with many others: some knowingly, some not. Your videos highlight aspects of what each one of us has to face (some knowingly, some not) - which is why I can relate so easily. Putting issues 'front and centre' is a great help so, although you are telling us of your experiences, you are also highlighting our issues - whether we know it or not. A BIG thank you for doing so.
Good one this Rahel 👍. Hope you find your soul mate soon. When watching your videos and listening to your comments I get the feeling that one is missing in your life 😉. Take care and stay covid free out there in Pico. Numbers are on the rise over here in Norway now. Christmas in lock-down maybe ...😒
Thank you, Endre. I'm glad you like it. I am in a loving, committed relationship and in general I don't feel like that anything is missing in my life. Take care as well and I hope you are staying safe and healthy. Sending my best wishes to Norway!
"Estou bem onde não estou porque eu só quero ir onde não vou..." cantava o Variações. A beleza dos Açores e o mar profundo podem certamente nos levar aos mais íntimos e profundos pensamentos, emoções e sentimentos. Julgo que os Açores podem ajudar no autoconhecimento de cada um. Adorei o vídeo, imagens e som! Obrigado.
Thank you for sharing this lyric and your beautiful and thoughtful words, Orlando. I very much agree and the Azores certainly helped me to get to know myself better. I'm glad that you enjoyed all aspects of this video. Best wishes to you!
Very nicely said. I was thinking , Rahel that your love of the Azores made you stay and helped confronting what plagued you and to find a way to neutralize the pain . Good on you, it takes courage to stop running and facing one’s demons. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 and another gorgeous video !!
People tell me I'm a miserable person, for I seldom smile or laugh, but inside I am quite content, even somewhat happy with my life. I find that trouble/unhappiness can always be found but true contentment is a state for which one must strive and work towards even if in doing so one may leave behind much of your old 'you'. Another very good film musing on the how as much as the why in attaining contentment [does that make any sense?] [don't forget you can always contact your friends directly if you think you need to.]
I can very much relate to that. I have heard countless times that I should smile more and look less serious which oftentimes left me very confused. Smiling and Laughing is so beautiful and so nourishing but only when it happens wholeheartedly and naturally. I very much agree, inviting something new into your life will always cost something old to leave your life. It does make sense to me. Thank you so much, Tony! Also thanks for the reminder, I fortunately have learned to reach out and ask for help or support whenever I need it, so no need to worry.
Hello Rachel good to see you continuing to make content. Of all the content creators YT yours is one of my favorites. I have plans to vacation there soon and potentially move to the Azorez which island do you recommend?
It makes me happy to hear that you are enjoying my content so much. Thank you for letting me know. I only have been to 4 out of the 9 Islands myself and each of the islands is very different and beautiful in its own way. It really depends on what your looking for.
Thank you for sharing your point of view, James. You are probably right. However the majority of messages, which reached me personally during the months before I made this video, gave me the impression that people were primarily looking and longing for a place where they could leave their current problems behind. Best wishes to you!
This is such a good question and it really got me to pause and think, so thank you for asking. I think it was a combination of a few things: I needed to learn how accept my own vulnerability and my own truth, I needed to let go of my ego and the version of myself I so desperately wanted to be and then I needed to find ways to reconnect with my(new)self where I was at that time and just face that life isn't always going my way, that life is a mystery to be lived and not a problem to be solved. To be honest I am still moving through some of those same pains, it is a journey but I realized that I can't wait until I'm healed to actually start to live even if living looks a lot different in reality than in my expectations. I hope that answers your question😊 if you wish to talk more in depth about those things don't hesitate to reach out via Instagram(Rahel Stadler) or email(rahel-stadler@outlook.com). Best wishes to you, Kim!
Thank you, Matt for your music tips, though I can't use just any music which I like in my videos, most music is protected and I think that's a good thing. I'm subscribed to two music pages where I'm paying to get access and the license to the music I'm using. Best wishes!
Ok but some of us are killed by monotony, it’s not problems that are the cause in themselves but the powerlessness. Also some people are just wired different in these ways
That's very true, some people are wired differently and some people are without a doubt suffering from there external circumstances, I completely agree, it's not always internally but it can be the underlying issue.
Hello. I've been in Japan to Buddhist Temples and nothing has resolved anything. But I read the Bible starting with the New Testament and listened to Pastor John Macarthur and now I live in spiritual peace with my wife and daughters. Try and accept Jesus as your Savior. You will need to now you are you first. The book of Matthew is very clear to understand yourself. Do not feel bad, everybody is equal. Try it please.
@@pedromiguelmagalhaes5189 Hello. Thank you for you advice but I'm very content and at peace with my life and as of right now I'm not interested in any kind of spiritual practice. I'm very glad though that you, your wife and daughters found your way and your spiritual peace.

Not everyone runs away from trouble.. Most seek a better climate and cheaper cheaper cost of living. Azores weather is veery British without frost.
Thank you for sharing your point of view, James. You are probably right.
However the majority of messages, which reached me personally during the months before I made this video, gave me the impression that people were primarily looking and longing for a place where they could leave their current problems behind.
Best wishes to you!
beautiful and so true. what did you use or do to move through your pains?
This is such a good question and it really got me to pause and think, so thank you for asking. I think it was a combination of a few things: I needed to learn how accept my own vulnerability and my own truth, I needed to let go of my ego and the version of myself I so desperately wanted to be and then I needed to find ways to reconnect with my(new)self where I was at that time and just face that life isn't always going my way, that life is a mystery to be lived and not a problem to be solved. To be honest I am still moving through some of those same pains, it is a journey but I realized that I can't wait until I'm healed to actually start to live even if living looks a lot different in reality than in my expectations. I hope that answers your question😊 if you wish to talk more in depth about those things don't hesitate to reach out via Instagram(Rahel Stadler) or email(rahel-stadler@outlook.com). Best wishes to you, Kim!
Sending a big hug ❤️
Aww that's so sweet of you. Thank you, Adam I really appreciate it.
lili boulander.. might be good for future sound tracks ... who knows....... matt bard
Thank you, Matt for your music tips, though I can't use just any music which I like in my videos, most music is protected and I think that's a good thing. I'm subscribed to two music pages where I'm paying to get access and the license to the music I'm using. Best wishes!
Wowwwwww
Thank you.
Ok but some of us are killed by monotony, it’s not problems that are the cause in themselves but the powerlessness. Also some people are just wired different in these ways
That's very true, some people are wired differently and some people are without a doubt suffering from there external circumstances, I completely agree, it's not always internally but it can be the underlying issue.
Hello. I've been in Japan to Buddhist Temples and nothing has resolved anything. But I read the Bible starting with the New Testament and listened to Pastor John Macarthur and now I live in spiritual peace with my wife and daughters. Try and accept Jesus as your Savior. You will need to now you are you first. The book of Matthew is very clear to understand yourself. Do not feel bad, everybody is equal. Try it please.

@@pedromiguelmagalhaes5189 Hello. Thank you for you advice but I'm very content and at peace with my life and as of right now I'm not interested in any kind of spiritual practice. I'm very glad though that you, your wife and daughters found your way and your spiritual peace.
Where are you from?
