… how come I only talk “Nature” and “Human things” here, not about Visions or Spirit talk.
I may have said it already,but some ask. So I will explain again.
Visions and Spirit talks are private matter in my opinion, and I share them occasionally with who it is needed to be shared with, or in my teachings training, or at times at workshops and ceremonies, when I feel “allowed to”.
I feel they are very intimate stories, secret stories, that have to be respected as such. They could be used to “make my ego grow”, to impress, to gain power on you, to “buy” you, to show how “amazing I am”…
No, no! There are teachings which stay “inside”, and teaching which “can be shared”, and so it is with me.
Though, when I had to write my book, many stories were “released”, but it was hard to do…
And, most stories are so specific and special, that another person may judge them either to be very “important” or very “humble”… and some of them are, but to the one who receives them, they are just blessings, and when we receive them, our Souls are enriched. They are not “to be sold” in any ways.
Learning techniques, in the digital era, plenty, everywhere, so that I do not write about either…
Illumination, Extatic moments, Nothingness, Fullness, Rapture, Visions are private and Sacred, and to be kept and respected as such.
This is the explanation, and my way. Others may have other ways, and believe different. Everyone is right, if they are honest with what they say and do.
Hope you understand.
Pieces of my Soul as gifts? All the photographs here on the homesite are mine, to share …
Long time passed, since the last larger ceremonies.
I was invited to do a combination of rite of passage, (birthday, marriage, and ending of education), connected with a Womanhood ceremony. And in corona times, distance, no holding hands, etc.
Sounds “serious”? It certainly was!
Many unknown Women with all kinds of background and belief system, to connect for a purpose…
Many different Flowers, in the Field of her Life!
We started by “uniting”, then “worked on her”, and our support was great, until she moved through the “invisible/visible” door to her Future.
Then she came “back” to us, and we went on together, all, celebrating Sisterhood, Womanhood, Life in all its facets.
It was fantastic for us all , I could feel it, and see it, the few times I remembered to open my eyes.
So much dedication, so much depth!
And, I fell in Love with them all, and in doing ceremonies again.
Light has grown until this moment, the moment of “Balance”. From now It will shine even brighter, and Illuminate everything, for a while. Light, Life Energy.
Reflect fo a while…Our world is still there, and we are Growing, if we allow ourselves to, like everything around us. Like the fresh new Plants, we are opening, transforming…
We shine, even when we think we do not…
Expand where we need to, and retreat, where we need to. Let us be honest, and grateful. Let us…
Turn on our Fire, and our Inner Fire. Cleanse, bless, and be blessed. Allow the Sun to touch us, charge us, show us, and teach us. Let us…Breathe through the process. Let us…
Give respect and greetings to All we are receiving and giving, and for all the Beings who are touching our Hearts. And to ourselves, we are Magic! And they are!
Light and Shadow, it all needs to Be. See the Lights, and see the Shadows. Let us…
Plant a strong and sweet Prayer into the Garden of Concious, into the Garden of Dreams, for who and what we Care for.
Let us… Share with our Friends, whoever or whatever they are, in any way we feel we can.
Lately, inspired by a friend, I started to “recollect” and write down my “older” (in time) shamanic experiences.
Most of them will remain “private”, and some I feel I can share.
This one belongs to 2000, when I travelled to Peru.
I was of course visiting the sacred site of Machu Picchu, the day after reaching it from the Inca trail (three days walk, up first, and down after, the picture on my front page here on the homepage, belongs to the path going down through the jungle).
So, I was so extremely lucky that the weather was uncertain, and not so many visitors…
Among other places, I reached the “World’s center” up up, a very particular sacred stone you may have seen in photos from there. It was raining lightly, and I was alone. Spectacular view.
Respectfully, and very carefully, I sat by the Stone, and contacted it. I closed my eyes, prayed for the World, and asked for a “private message” about my work (if, if…)
At the moment I opened my eyes again, the Rainbow appeared, and everything stood still.
“All Colors, All Colors” the Rainbow’s message was.
I stayed in the silent Bliss of the moment, then thanked, and moved on. That was it.
I felt very honored, and deeply thankful. I understood the message.
All Colors were us, the People, all kinds, all colors, all races, all characters and all beliefs. All One, all Sacred.
That was what I had to deal with.
I was on the “right” path!
Before, and, even more, after, I try to honor and practice this teaching both in my Life and in my work, even it is not always easy.
And when my Patience is “shaken”, I always remember the Rainbow.
At times, when I am lucky, I find good messages all over. This one I have had for a long long time on my table, and I am reading it every day. Who or where it came from, I do not remember, maybe Miguel Ruiz, maybe Byron Katie, maybe someone else…
Anyway, I like to share it with you, for inspiration and reflection. My little paper says:
My Friend and I had been on a long city walk. It was Saturday, and People and Dogs were out, strolling with distance.
It had been good to see and feel both the city landscapes, the Waterfront, and the People. We were a little tired, but satisfied, and time to go home now soon.
We found a free bench, and sat down, each one on one’s side, for the last sharing, before leaving each other.
We noticed a very small and short Person, wearing a mask, walking further away. “Who can that person be?” We looked at each other, and at the Person.
The corona mask filled much too much in the little body…It looked weird, and, with all respect, a little funny.
The small Person approached as we kept on talking, and … surprise surprise, came to sit down right between us.
We greeted her(?) both with our eyes, finished our conversation, greeted again, and left.
What was that all about? Even in the middle of “corona times”? (the brain, the brain…)
We both agreed that it may be about the “need” of Nearness, or was it maybe the need of “breaking rules”, or “not understanding” them, or “not caring”, or ?
In those few moments, the Energy had been sweet and gentle between us,
Whatever and whoever she (?) was,
we had “touched” and “recognized” each other’s Presence,
…the “little being” was lying there, violet monkey with a hand on its heart! And the other arm opened to welcome… And not only…Shall we take it as an omen from the Spirit world? I do! 🙂 It was on a shaman walk…
Let’s call our Friends and hear how they are! And maybe have some fun if possible! Smiling and laughing, best Medicine!
(and it gives a strange feeling to the Heart with so little Life),
I choose to not allow me to get sad,
but to enjoy this condition…
The city reveals itself in another way.
Buildings, room, locations towards each other, lines, angles, prospective…
And it has a sense of Emptyness,
and it is all in my judging Mind, ….
…be it good, be it bad, be unbearable, be fine,
or just be.
Moving through this,
and lots of Christmas lights,
I met People, it was fine,
and they were Alive,
and the Contact was good,
a few Smiles.
I choose to embrace this like an Adventure,
like another Dimension,
like another Sight.
A possibility to experience
a different way.
Take care, Blessings and (try to) enjoy. We will soon or later go back to our “normality”, what is the rush? We know that, now we better deal with this as good as we can.
And think….how lucky we are…. we can walk our streets in Peace!
Our moment now is strange and tough, when we follow the news in our World. Many things are “on the balance”, and it can tip in different ways.
A few “things” are challenging Us from every side, and sure You know what I am talking about.
The “Limbo” state is changing into a more “fearful” one, for many of Us, regarding corona, one of the “few things”.
If We choose to keep Earth connection (connection to Our Bodies, Our Love, Our Reality, and what we need and love to do), and take care of each other (awake, aware and respectful), at least we will not get “too” lost, fearful, angry or depressed, (which even may “invite” sickness also, some of Us believe). We know, now We “have to” do.
We are Living in a weird movie, We got to deal with it, of course, and We will. Humans are good to adapt, so We do, We adapt, and survive.
“Living” may be different than “surviving”. How do We live with all this? We learn how.
Still…”the movie” is a movie, and making room between Us and “the movie” may be healthy, and lighter.
“The movie” was there before this movie, it just maybe did not feel so dramatic and scary, We were not “completely involved”. Now We are.
Nature was there before, and it is now. More and more of Us are starting to “use” Nature now, let it be a Friendship, and not “just use”, let it be that, what the Shamans, and many others always have told…
Let it be that We heal by coming closer to Earth. Let it be that We learn. Let it be that We open.
Let it be that We listen, that We look, that We feel.
Scary, a little. Possibility, new? Maybe.
We keep standing, and do Our Best.
We are Grateful for all that is, and all We have, and create positive Energy around Ourselves.
We all know how to move, and how to stop. We all know, if We look, what is “right”.
If We believe We can help by Healing, or Prayer, let Us do.
And why I am telling this? To remind You, and Me to Trust.
So, when one is busy, “silly things” can happen…Here an example.
A “sweet reminder” came out of it: really, it is such small a thing, maybe not even worth writting about it, but, one never knows, and then it did make a “difference” to me.
We all know “Shit happens sometimes”, or “Mess happens”…
So…
I had a smoke, and I went doing other things… (one of those days).
As I came back, the ashtray had fallen.
Booooh! Boooooh!
Ash on the sofa… on my fine fine purple velvet cloth! Baaaad! 🙂
I said to myself “OOOOh! I made a mess!”
Right after “myself” said to “myself”
“No, you did not,
It JUST HAPPENED”!
I do not know if you can see the difference. I certainly could FEEL it.
And it felt lighter.
Sweet evening to you all, and a smile from me.

We were working in a group the other evening, by a shelter.
Little trees, and Fields around us. Evening coming.
The theme “Peace (and Balance)”. It was raining quietly, Light slowly disappearing, Colors still strong.
I like to share with you what an Oak and a Birch told me. I have received, through the years, a few deep and important messages from Trees. They are benevolent Beings, caring for us People.
This Oak was a young one, dancing in two trunks, interwining. It called me, so I had to come very close.
And it said that Peace is like a Forest. There is Room for Anyone who cares and wishes Living there, Room for All, small and big, magnificent and humble.
As long as there is Room for All, and each Being have its own Space to Live and express its Life and itself, there is Peace and Balance.
Then, it showed me Spaces and Lines, like in Sacred Geometry, to notice.
And there was an area with Trees planted “in order” by Us, Human Beings, too.
It further said that “another kind of order” was necessary too, in some cases.
When I moved away, after thanking the Oak, I was guided to walk to a Birch.
The Birch was a young one also.
Its Trunk had been cut by someone’s knife?, and it looked like a “bad cut”, on one side, but if I removed my own “emotional judgement”, I could see the weird “Beauty” of the cut by its Color, and “accept it” somehow.
The Birch did not seem to “suffer”, and that I was happy for.
It said that “At times there may be some Pain involved in obtaining Peace and Balance”.
But Pain can be considered different than we usually do, maybe?
Thank you, dear Birch.
These messages were given to Me, and now to You, to reflect upon.
Thanx to You Trees for inspiration.

The previous day I had been contemplating this amazing little Being, a very very young Mouse. Its head was bigger than its body, and legs looked funny…a wonderful sight.
Run out now, save the Mouse!
Tha Cat was playing God, or following its Nature, and right enough the little Mouse was there…
I ran out, and chased the Cat away, so I played God by changing a situation which did not “belong” to me at all, or I just followed my Nature.
The Mouse played God, and took a chance to run, or just followed his Nature.
It ran into the Sweatlodge Fire pit, and hide.
Cat came back, same story again.
The Mouse talked to me twice, but I did not get it.
We are Together in this strange Moment in Time, caught in the corona Limbo.
For some of Us it is ok, for others not so easy, but We are here.
On Tuesday, Equinox, representing Balance, Equality between Light and Dark,
Change coming, again.
The Fruits of this period, both in our private Lives and in the World, are many and different, some of them scary and horrible, some of them giving and positive.
Let Us collect the Gifts and Teachings, and discard the NonSense.
We are Growing through this!
We Inhale the Beauty and Peace,
We Inhale Abundance and Transformation Power,
We Inhale Love and Life,
and Exhale Worries,
We Exhale Failure,
and Allow Discharge.
Be Welcome, Sun,
Be Welcome, Dark.
Let Us Move as Free,
Light,
and Strong
as We can.
Give thanks,
Honor,
Pray,
have a good Time.
Give,
and You will be Given to.
Happy Equinox!
Doing it alone? Inspiration from previous years here on the blog.
If You wish to partecipate to my ceremony on Tuesday 22/9 at 18.00 (see under Sun ceremony). Welcome!
I had an sms (text) exchange with a man who I know a little, but we communicate regularly.
He is “a strong man”, a hard physically working man, feelings and emotions are held under control. Or at least that is what he thinks about himself and how he lives.
Even when a very close person in his family died, he could not cry.
It finally happened in connection to a visit from another close member of his family, and he immediately “packed” himself back into his “strenght” right after, denying his “fragile moment”.
He said it was a Waterfall of Tears, and as he thought it was finally finished, it bursted out again.
I complimented him for sharing with me, and for allowing himself to be “touched” by “vulnerability” .
Much is needed to some of us to open and let go…
And… even more to show ourselves to somebody else when we are “small”.
And…when we are “cracked” once, the Water of Tears may find its way again.:)
Vulnerability can be a Powerful sign of Inner Strenght.
Probably, or maybe, if you knew how it felt, it would be different? Noise!
It feels like Violence, it feels like Pain, it feels like one’s Solar plexus, or Heart or Head, or Stomach, or them all, are being penetrated and tortured.
It feels like one is being badly hurt, even like knives, to the “Sensitive “.It becomes Hell!
We are talking much of habitat, green, sustainable….Who is talking about Noise? Shouldn’t the Green Change should contain this part too?
If we thought and considered for a while HOW MUCH PAIN we inflict others, it may help a little?
(Some of the “Sensitive ” are considered “nuts”…. It is “our own fault”…. then if you are rich you can buy very good earplugs, price from 1200 DKK. ,problem solved, and gently you are cut out).
Are we aware of the Power of Noise, and what it does on EVERYONE’S SYSTEM, NERVES, STRESS and its contribution to sickness? We better get aware soon.
Did you not HEAR THE DIFFERENCE in the city? HEAR THE DIFFERENCE UN RECREATIONAL AREAS TOO!
Are we aware of the Power of Silence, of how Healing it can be, and the difference it can make?
I Dream…. And it should be a HUMAN RIGHT….
ONE DAY ONCE IN A WHILE WITHOUT CARS OR MACHINES…
GLOBAL, WORLDWIDE, SOON!
??? on Grateful Ness for the moments of Silence that still exist.☺
… Maybe we have been watching ourselves extra closely, noticing we may not have “grown” as much as we thought, discovering that some of the “bricks” we thought were stable on our path are gone, our “security” is trembling?
Maybe we were searching for new inspiration, new ideas, and got stuck in the older “self”, and patterns? Then “corona” appeared.
When less “social connection/entanglement” is present, looking “in” may be scary, our honesty and clarity can become “a weapon” against ourselves, our self-observation a violent hindrance.
“Where is my Power, where is my Power?” we may ask, and see no answer.
The process of Healing takes forgiveness, patience, energy, and time.
We may need to examine all our “little achievements and victories” instead!
And have a little Break?
Get some Quality Time, for ourselves.
We are forced to Retreat more then usual. It is a great opportunity, let us enjoy it and use it.
Mother Nature is there, Spring is glowing and growing right now.
Get out there, get refreshed! Contact Spiritual Friends and Helpers! Trees and “All Our Relations”!
Then we will be able to bloom again.
All Our Relations are all the Living Beings we share our Earth with (Rocks too), including the Elements (Air, Fire, etc), the Sky and the Celestial Beings like Sun, Moon, Stars, etc., and Space .
