Once in a while
I get stroked
from the, at times “discrete”,
at times “screaming”
“Perfection”
of Everything.
maybe…
the unpredictability of the Weather,
caused or not from Climate change,
the violent exploding of Crises of many kinds
worldwide,
can Teach and Train us into Being,
into fully Living
whatever presents itself…
Intent and Change are called upon,
Gratitude and Flexibility are called upon,
let us allow Ourselves and Awareness to Grow…
Pacha mama is Smiling, no matter what.
Let us Connect, and Smile with her,
and keep our Spirit high…
Splendor, Light, Apex, Sun power.
Cleansing, Blessing, Joy, Abundance, Celebration, Flowers and Herbs, Beauty and Strenght.
Fire, Midsummer is here!
Every year we celebrate the Sun movements and cycles, both as a moment of Prayer and Gratitude for our Life, and as reflection of our own (Birth, Growth, Maturity, and Decline), and Nature’s cycle.
We mark and create Rituals to keep in touch both with the Inner and the Outer Reality, to keep in Balance, to clear once more our Path, re-set our Intentions, and thank Earth, the Sun, and all the Elements and Beings for their Gifts.
Here a few “inspiration key words”:
Refresh yourself, your Alter, your Home,
invite Light into your Being, into your Life, and into Earth,
stay Outdoor and intake the Sunlight if it is there, the Energy if it is not,
have an Air bath or a Ocean bath, (or them all),
have a barefoot walk ,
visit a place from where you can see the Sunrise and the Sunset,
and bless them both.
Give Offerings to the Animals, and the Nature Beings.
Do or create something new.
Meditate for Peace and Harmony.
Make a circle of Beauty(ful things) in front of you to contemplate,
and a Fire, or Living Lights, to
share with yourself and others…
Drum , sing your favourite songs and dance,
eat delicious food, drink favourite drinks,
share your achievements,
reflections and Intentions for the next Sun cycle,
celebrate and
enjoy!
Each one of us has one, or more:
our Passion, our Abilities, our Skills, our own “Magic” spot
where we are “strongest”.
Some of us hide it, unaware that there may be a “need to share”…
and a “need to receive” from the others,
and that the “need” and the “sharing” moment may be “right now”
at this time on Earth.
At the Summer Solstice,
we can look, among other things, at where our Magic is,
because, through Life, we may have forgotten or denied it,
or when we encountered difficulties, we had to let it go.
And we can look upon when, how, and with whom, we will start our “sharing”.
We all need all the “support” we can get,
and we all need to give the “support” we can give…
then the big Wheel will turn.
…when I am allowed,
and I allow myself,
to “guide”…
“I ” disappear…
there is Power,
there is Flow,
… Oneness…
Our Hearts wide open,
we are Touched,
we are Together
we are Human,
we are Us…
For an Infinite short time,
our Stories melt,
our Energy melt,
“we” melt away,
in ecstatic Bliss.
Then,
back to our Reality,
the Ceremony is over…
It is not…
… It lives Inside.
In our frantic search…
for this and for that…
We may
forget the Moment…
The “best” may be a trick and an Illusion,
the “looking outward” to get “food”
a blurred Veil,
that may confuse us,
and remove us from
the Source.
While we are busy
searching everywhere else,
than into our Essence,
our inner Mandala
may stop…
And…
Life is Movement.
My Earth day celebration turned out completely different than expected.
So, from plan A, I moved to plan B, and was ready for plan C, or no plan .
I got involved with a group of young artists, enviromental activists and lovely women, in a form of art and decorative/symbolic happening, a nest building in a dome.
This was part of preparation for the next day, where performance and play with kids and kidslike souls would happen.
Energy, talk, and work were good, and interesting, suddenly my friend and I had become part of the group, swinging in the same wave.
The seaside was filled with people enjoying the Sun.
And as a sweet “miracle”, unexpected, small children started popping up with their parents…
the dome became alive…
they came, and went, and came, and went… and came again…
Their curiosity, their behaviour, their movements and eyes, told us that we were working on “the right thing”.
A little funny strange “temple of wander”, where they could BE, and EXPLORE…
I realized what a “gift” we had been creating, and how much we had honored Earth by giving a “space of wander ” for one of the most important spices, the INNOCENT ONES.
Pacha mama was happy, and so were we.
And it felt good.
Thanks to you all involved for a great afternoon.
If you are not with doing “something special” for Earth day,
a few suggestions which take little time and little effort.
Expand, change, remix, as you wish, depending on who and how you are.
***************************
START YOUR DAY IN GRATITUDE
FIND SOME TIME AND ENERGY TO CONNECT TO EARTH (or NATURE BEING), and/or THANK EARTH FOR ITS GIFTS
BE GENTLE TO SOMEONE, OR SOMETHING, and/or GIVE A (SMALL?) GIFT TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING
DO SOMETHING (SMALL?) THAT GIVES MEANING TO EARTH and TO YOU, and THAT MAY BE NOT ALWAYS EASY TO DO
MAKE A SHORT (LONG?) TIME AGREEMENT TO RESPECT EARTH (and YOURSELF) SOMEHOW A LITTLE MORE
THANK to EARTH, to YOU, and to US ALL.
****************************
It is coming up , on April 22, worldwide, a day of symbolic Union.
Why a day dedicated to Earth?
To remember and refresh our Connection, and our Respect.
To celebrate and honor our Lives while we are here.
There are so many things we are given, and we can thank Earth for!
It is our Home, our Planet.
It provides us with Room to be, Food, and Drink.
It is there before us, and will be after us.
It heals us always, if we ask it.
It gives us Beauty, and Inspiration.
It is Home for All our Relations, the Green, the Animals, the Rocks, the Elements, us Humans.
We will walk to the Center for this day,
in Silence,
carrying Gratitude and Blessings for all the Beings we cross,
to one of “my” Sacred Places,
then we will move to a large Rock, big Mama, an old Friend.
We will gather in a Circle to refine our Energies, and create Connection.
Some time will be spent on our own,
The rest will be given as a present to her through meditation, songs and dance, and Offerings.
We will end by the Sacred Fire, sharing Food and company.
BRING with: small offerings ( for example: rice, vegetable, feather, rocks, water, things that do not pollute)
drums and rattles, something to sit on, a piece or two of DRY WOOD, food, drink, what you know you need. A plastic bag
and plastic glove for collecting rubbish while we go.
Meeting TIME and PLACE: Hareskov station, forest side, 15.00 o’clock (be precise, please), end after 2 and half/3 hours (but one never knows), without Fire sharing time. You are free to go when ceremony is over.
CONTACT: SMS/INFO to 42424681, latest 20 April at 20.00
WALK: around 3 km forth and 3 back from meeting point. WEATHER: in case of much rain, not happening.
DONATIONS: The ceremony is for free, donations from 50 kr. are appreciated by mobile pay, thanks.
ANYONE IS WELCOME, as long as you can respect the others, and what is going on. Are you “new” in this? Fine!
Light and Dark… Equality.
Our inner Masculine and Feminin meet,
Balance is achieved for a moment,
and new Movement takes over.
Transformation time is here,
the Sprouts are showing,
positive Growth!
Let go, let go , let go,
puryfy puryfy, puryfy,
allow, allow, allow,
trust , trust, trust.
Past is behind,
we are moving …
Speachless, thoughtless,
fresh, innocent …
Allow the Movement,
allow and trust the Change…
New Moon in Aries, inner Fire, passion.
Let it be… new time,
great time,
creative time,
fantastic time,
let it be that all our Prayers are
already manifesting,
and more Truth,
and more Peace ARE here,
and Earth is Healing.
2023 keeps on pushing us, in many ways,
chocking, chaotic, painful and destructive,
wonderful, open, constructive and developing.
So many extremes…
And we got to keep balancing.
Three ceremonial days in a row are manifesting now:
Equinox, new Moon, and Water’s day.
Suggestions for Water’s day,
just in case…
Prepare a large Bowl of Water
to be outdoor both on Equinox and New Moon, day and night.
If you are on your own on Water’s day,
now you have Water.
Have a ritual wash,
feel the inner Waters in your Body,
and the outer Waters on and in Earth,
and connect to them.
Thank for Life that Water gives us all.
Bless it with your Love and Gratitude.
Sprinkle it on and around yourself.
Move then to a lager Body or Water,
and give it away,
after a little drink to yourself.
Have a lovely ceremony!
Feeling like this?
Ufolike?
Strange?
Sometimes, often? These days?
Holding … on anything,
just about managing to balance?
Spring Equinox is coming,
with the new Moon in Aries,
no joke!
And maybe…Rain will come,
and Storm will come,
and Sun will come,
and we may be shaken,
and we will keep on holding,
or …
We will just let go,
and fall into
another Dimension.
Who knows?
It happens!
Transformation comes!
Do not worry too much…
Enjoy,
Whatever happens.
It’s an Adventure!
My Support and Love to us.
There are times in our Lives, when things feel or get strange…
It is hard to admit for some…
And it is easy for others: they can complain, because they feel it legitimate.
But…Do complains make us grow? Our pain-bodies expand… to whose gain?…
What is happening?
Vulnerability and Uncertainty are the Colors of these times, shaky friends, still interesting ones.
Looking at Nature…
In the period of changing Skin, the Snake is sensitive.
And when its Head, and Eyes, are covered, and it cannot see, it gets nervous and scared.
Because of its Vulnerability, it may be more dangerous, but mostly to itself?
The Snake finishes its process,
and we “should” allow ourselves as well to go through ours.
Our new Skin to the World…
Time, Care and Patience…
What will I be, what will I become?
Trying to BE THERE…
Cleaning up is a precious thing,
This state, one of the many facets of Death we go through.
We cannot be “stars” right now, cheat, or perform.
Keep close to yourself,
to Silence and Nature,
and to People you Trust.
This is one of the many Colors we Are.
Allow it to Shine, as delicate or weird as it may look.
Happy Rebirth, when it comes.
I remember my “first time”.
My Father’s heart had stopped, and Mother and I sat in the hospital room, waiting for news.
At that time I was atheist, nothing or no one to convert my “prayers” to, no beliefs, no religion, no spirituality, so I got surprised and chocked once I realized what had been going on.
Me? Praying?
Father was brought back to Life, and again Gratitude filled me, and was sent/given? to something, someone… somewhere…
The word “prayer” may feel “right” to some, “false” to some, “unknown” to some…
Reflecting…
If prayer is… “intense, honest and focused attention towards a “positive” effect on someone or something”?
(One kind…then other sorts of prayers exist …)
Then…Can we?…
And may we?…
… “judge” what is “right and wrong”, and freely send “positive thoughts”?
…whether…we believe we got “God” inside, we believe in “God” outside, we got “no God”,
…or we believe Quantum results…
“Wishing good” (little prayer) can only be positive and fruitful!
And so for longer prayer!
And let us not only do it when “in need”!
Ohhh….
The Brain talks much!
Prayer is a matter of Heart!
Then…
Explore,
find your Truth
find your way.
Tip:
… my ending of any Prayer…
“According to free will,
and for the best of all concerned!”
(thanks to L. Hay for the teaching)
Each and every Move,
and every Choice we take,
brings us on in our Life’s Web.
Closer and closer to Who We Are,
hopefully?
At times we do not see the crossings,
or we believe them to be something else,
or we ignore them.
We produce Lines and Arrows,
we produce Curves,
we believe the Food we catch to be Dirt,
or the Dirt to be Food,
or Disturbance.
And it is all right,
even Weird Nets are still Nets.
And we are the crazy Spiders.
We are Creation.
Touch us, lightly or deep,
touch our Eyes,
our Brain,
touch our Childish part,
our Fantasy…
Make us stop,
and make us wander.
Play with us,
inspire us,
trance us.
Borrow us a moment of Rest,
a moment of Whatever,
Different.
Lights,
Lights
in the Dark Skies,
on a Winter Night.
My admiration and gratitude for the Light objects I crossed this year, on Refshaleøen, Cph.
I am sure we all can agree about the big and deep importance of sharing, no doubt there,
and its great value, rising more and more.
Still, sharing has thousands meanings, degrees, expressions and faces.
Years ago, in a period one could call “enquire time”,
I was reflecting upon “my work, its value, and its impact”.
Being guest at a friend’s marriage, and having accepted both the responsibility,
and the guidance of the ritual part of it, I was a little tense…
After the ceremony was done,
I came to “share opinions” with a previously unknown lady.
I was in doubt whether “my work” had generally to be “reduced”, and how much.
She attentively listened, and erupted in a
“You cannot retire, the world needs you,
it is your duty to share what you know!”
Her words were like an arrow, they hit me right in the heart.
She was right!
Every time I doubt, I remember her, again and again.
This story here to inspire us to ask ourselves
“What can I share, and how?”
There are so many many ways…
And to remind us also to “share with ourselves”.
How, we better ask ourselves…
An old man, of my Love’s family member, passed away a short time ago.
He has been visiting us a couple of times now, with his playful energy. Nice.
And today, another contact, from years ago, came to my mind.
The client, a fascinating young woman, had lost her Brother,
and was deeply sorry and sad, crushed.
She loved him much. He had taken his Life not long before, unexpected for her, and their mother.
Through me, they reconnected, and shared thoughts and Love,
they both had been longing for…
Among other things…
He explained “why”, and washed her free from guilt.
It was beautiful, and very touching.
Both us ladies cried.
For weeks, after the session, we had connection.
He kept on “visiting” me,
“showing” his thoughts and insights.
Unexpected, wonderful,
enriching,
and a little “strange”.
We had become “Friends”…
even we belonged to different worlds.
Thank You!
In memoriam of Jannick, special Friend
Those working with shamanism know we got more than two Eyes,
…and we got more than this one Body too.
But…If our Eyes work, if our Bodies work, in “Ordinary Reality”, it is a great everyday’s Gift, not to be forgotten, and not to be denied.
Something more to be Grateful for!
And that is “common good”, unless your Body and our Senses are not working so well…
But then we will develop “other kinds of Senses”, and other “strategies”.
We are so amazing!
Hmmm…The “ordinary” View, our “ordinary” Senses…
We can learn so much here, already, when we polish our Sight, when we cancel or manage to “pause” our “patterns” of observation…
There is so much new and inspiring to be discovered, to be processed fresh!
And so with all our Senses.
Play play, play! Learn, learn, learn!
Wish you a good Adventure!
About the shamanic Eyes, extra Body, and extra Senses,
it is an ongoing learning process.
And another fantastic Story!
How lucky can we be !?!
We are very very lucky.
Years and years are gone… we were in 98, 99.
Tribal Life, our/my “school”, was thriving.
It feels like ages ago, and it is…
I still see many of you, dear ones, and occasionally cross others.
The response so far has been the same:
those were “good days” we will never forget.
But, it is in the Past.
How are we, the ones I never cross, the ones I cross too shortly?
For some time, I have been thinking of calling for an informal (of course) tribal meeting…
Does it have any sense?
Would and can I allow myself to interfere with your Lives? May I?
The one reason… You were my students (and my teachers), you live in my Heart.
The Energy will always stay , is that “enough”?
Would be so nice to meet you Eyes, to embrace you, each one.
To see you LIVE, to feel you LIVE.
And… say what?
Whatever we wish for, whatever we like to share, or nothing.
I am fine, thank you. Hope you are good too…
I may call you to meet under the old Oak, in a sunny afternoon.
Be well, wish you all the Best.
Big, deep Hug!
