A session touches it, outside is when the real work starts!
A session touches it, outside is when the real work starts! admin

You do a beautiful ritual, follow a special meditation and everything ‘switches on’. Yes, you feel who you are, what you are doing and how it should all feel. But then…. then you go home. All kinds of stimuli and distractions that make you ‘lose that contact’ again. How do you hold on to ‘being connected’? How do you ensure that this authentic feeling stays with you forever.

In the period that I myself did my initiation with my Shaman, I also asked him this question. I got a very nice assignment from him, which I often share with my clients and now also with you:

‘Find an object from nature, every day, for seven days. Take it with you and keep it in a box. Observe what it does to you when you see the object, how it feels when you pick the object up and write down what you feel.’

I remember it like the day of yesterday, the first day after this assignment. I look at the chestnut tree hanging heavy with its long branches over the rippling water in front of me, in the company of other trees. A single leaf is still visible on its branches even though the autumn has only just begun. As a child, I always climbed into this tree, only in recent years I just walk by it.

The first object that catches my eye is a piece of bark from my tree. The fear of being condemned by a passer-by who would catch me damaging this old tree, made me quickly put the piece of bark in my coat pocket and continue on with my walk without looking at it. I did not meet anyone. This was the beginning of my self awareness, my lack of self-love and compassion.

Only that night just before I went to bed, I saw my coat laying on the white bench in the hallway. I picked it up and an item fell out of my pocket. There it was, the piece of bark on the stone floor. I knelt down and put it on the palm of my hand. It had a beautiful structure. I observed the lines and rubbed the rough surface with my fingertips. And there she appeared in the full light. Her trunk as a beating heart, peaceful and loving. She touched my face with her branches. I put my hand on my heart and wiped the tears from my face.

It was one of the many transformative assignments that I received during the weekly meetings with my Shaman.

‘A session touches it, outside is when the real work starts!’ he told me.

And that was more than true, after the sessions I noticed how hard it was to stick to that one assignment. But the more I was working on it, the more aware I became, of myself and of my environment. As a result, I also learned more and more about myself when I searched for the distraction or how nice it was to really be present. It brought me ever closer to my heart’s desire.

The power of your dreams
The power of your dreams admin

 

Dreamer

“Never let it be said that the dream is a waste of one’s time,
for dreams are our realities in waiting in dreams, 
we plant the seeds of our furture.”

As a child I was a real dreamer. In my dreams I connected with my desires that were hidden in my heart as a treasure. By listening deeply, I developed a powerful imagination that took me to unlimited worlds where the impossible became possible.

Nature was my dream and the dream was my nature, for me there was no difference between these two worlds, it simply merged into one another. As a child I wandered through the forest for hours in the company of my horse and my tame crow. I disappeared into everything I saw around me and was touched by the pure inspiration of everything that had not been touched by people. My gift was in conveying these images and dreams to the people around me. ‘You carry a deep wisdom with you and you will make your dreams come true’, my father told me when I was young. When he spoke these words I saw admiration in his gaze as well as wistfulness and melancholy, as if he were homesick for something, I could not put my finger on it. I also recognised this with more people in my area. Without knowing it I confronted them with a world they had forgotten. As I grew older, I was saddened. I began to unconsciously shut myself off from this animated part within me because it did not seem to have any place in my world. The I no longer saw the wistfulness and melancholy when I met with people, only that of  my father remained visible.

My imagination and my dreams slowly disappeared to the background and so did my direction. Only during my sleep did I continue to dream, but I could no longer remember them. A part of me became a void around which a wall of gloom was built, it felt to me as a meaningless existence.

Only years later, and now mother of three children, a clear dream appeared in my sleep that I remembered for the first time.

“A girl walking on her bare feet on a path in the middle of the forest. Her face is not visible, only by the movement of her bare feet you see that she moves. Sometimes she stands still and, with her left foot, rotates circles in the leaves on the path. The path is covered by the leaves that seem to have settled there for her. She does not seem afraid of the night. The moon is full and the light is blocked by the branches above her. But with each step that moves, the intertwined branches begin to move and make room for the light of the moon. The silence of the night is broken by the scream of a bird, which is as black as the night. With flapping wings the bird lands down on her shoulder, they follow the darkness unperturbed. She comes to a halt at the clearing in the forest. She raises her head and looks at the moon and says, “We are you …”

I wake up from the dream, but I am not completely back in reality, as if I am in two worlds. I feel the power of the moonlight shining through my heart and in the light, the girl with the black bird appears. Aroused by something that moves inside me, I go into a deep trance. I meet a world where nothing distinguishes, a world without form, without color, without time, an infinite void where even silence does not exist. The source of where everything starts and ends.

“Shamans are there to bring dreams back to the world”
