I was invited by Mystic Mag to an interview about my activity and how it might help somebody to discover themselves and to heal old ingrained wounds. Because I am often asked what I am actually doing and how this could possibly work for my clients, I would like to share the interview here. We are so much more than just our mind. Still, most of us are using mainly the mind to go through life. A friend of mine said that...
It was shortly after my retirement when I came back from my first ‘all-alone-trip’ to Peru and I was so full of excitement, full of love and gratefulness for all that I have experienced there, that I had no intention of going anywhere but spending my time with my loved ones and integrate all that I have learned, witnessed and lived there in the Amazon and in the Andes. One or two weeks into my settling at home, came the proposal...
First time in my life that I heard about Ausangate was in 2013 during my shamanic training. As part of the same training I traveled to Peru and we visited Sacsayhuaman, a ceremonial city of the Incan rulers. During this first time there, I explored the site on my own and at some point I wanted to know where Apu Ausangate was. The weather was not very good and I could not see very far, so I started to detect...
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...
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...
