On my earlier note about control issues I would like to share a personal story, just some aspects of my work with control issues. The subjects of ‘remaining flexible’ being independent and ‘open for change’ are important to me from very early on and still are. So if you would have asked me about needing to be in control, say 40 or 30 years ago, I would have just laughed. I was sure that with me being open to life,...
My thoughts today: After exploring certain aspects of our lives with a lovely and small group of people during our monthly Astro Zoom the subject of power came up a lot. This is what I want to explore a bit more. How do I hold my power? Do I stand in my power? What is it that makes me powerful? Maybe the most basic of an approach to power is ‘power over’. When we need to have power over others, we are counteracting lifetimes of...
Why did you come into this life? Why now? Why here, where you are? What drives you and what makes you shine? What is it that really deeply satisfies you? Do you know the answer to this questions? Are you searching? We are all looking for love, acceptance and respect in some form.

During that week I started to separate that which I wanted from that which is good for me at the moment. I met the most wonderful shamans in ceremony as well as outside ceremony. People who do not hesitate to do their work, who listen to their guides and who seem never to hesitate to do what there is to be done. This is my guideline as well. I learned that i have to be patient and take one step...
The closer we came to our destination and the more people we met that were part of our group, the more real the whole adventure became. I was told that we are not on a trip, instead we were on an 'expedition'. The definition of an expedition for me is when you start walking through new land and have no idea where the path will lead you or when you would return. Well, it was not very far from that. The land...
Whenever I travel to a new country, I tend to form my expectations around what I hear and read from various sources. The kind of information one collects in a lifetime. It comes in bits and pieces from what other people have experienced or what other people thought would be there. The photographs I see may give me a very specific opinion on the place they are taken in. Sometimes they are taken in such a way that they make the...
