I have always had vivid dreams and a rich dreamlife. In periods I have been able to awake myself in my dream state and tell myself that I was dreaming, that’s funny, but not in the meaning of awakening up from my sleep, I just told myself in my dream state that I was dreaming…
Deep contemplation lately The artistic, the creative, the unfolding is also a spiritual process; they go hand in hand. It requires inwardness and calm. There are things that are very difficult to attain if the mind is highly outward-focused. If it has to be outward, organizing, and in contact with a lot of people, that…
Living a life where you don’t feel the people you are surrounded by either understand you, see you or they are asking you to be as them can be quite lonely. Not being able to be yourself is affecting us in different ways, we can deal with it with very different strategies. Trying to fit in and pleasing others and their needs is a very common way to deal with it. In our need of being accepted, trying to belong to a group and being loved. My experience is we will do a lot to fit in and ignore the one we truly are.
You already know when you are not you, because you sense it, you become a shadow of yourself, you become invisible, you are perhaps more quiet and calm on the outside but screaming on the inside, or more outgoing to and outspoken to avoid your own inner company and the one you truly are. You perhaps feel that people don’t listen to you or are not interested in what you have to say, don’t find your humor interesting or consider you silent, because you have so different interest’ , perspectives of life that you never really talk about the things that interest you. You just get so used to be a shadow of who you are, and make it work in the setting you’re in at work, at home, with your relationships/acquaintances.
You may have been following in the footsteps of the wellknown from childhood home, you may have chosen the types of people similar to those you grew up with because it feels safe, but at the same time not are your kind of people, because they dont see you for the one you actually are in your depths, or are curious understanding who you are. When you choose safety over yourself, and similar lifepatterns you saw when you grew up, you have found your own strategy and make it work in a way, you deal with it in the way that you live your life, get married, have some children, go to work, take care of dailylife things, encourage your people and on the outside in a way show you are content, but on the inside disappear more and more. You may also limit yourself and your own expression, because your people dont show interest’ in the real you. Have you tried it? Do you recognize it?
Although you accept lesser than nothing and are an effort to keep it working, you may think other people and their messy lifes are pathetic, but in fact inside are deadly afraid of messing it all up as well, you may try to keep everything the same, because you can’t deal with the danger of your own questions about your life choices, relationships and consequences.
For a period of time you keep peace in your life, but you know that truth will show it self over time, you know that change is inevitable it’s only a matter of time. You’re having deeper conversations with yourself, a deeper relationship with yourself, asking yourself some new questions, choosing new dailylife patterns, getting out there where you can’t control things – thats how life helps you to be your authentic true self and change the “curse” of your life.
Look at your life, who are truly curious about you? Are you happy or in deep sorrow about your life? Sometimes we make immense sacrifices to live the life we want. I remember when I decided to get a divorce and split up my family with two smaller children, I felt a deep sorrow next to so much joy in life. Looking back and having brought a huge sacrifice I still think it’s so important to live our life as we want it, feel the warmth inside of being truthful, giving ourself the version life we need, are longing for, and feel aligned inside out.
When you start choosing yourself, shower your sorrow of your old life with the joy of life you get through it. Find the places in your life where you feel safe in a new way, by yourself, without your phone, no newspaper, books , tv or a lot of other people and help yourself to walk around in your life not feeling you are silly. When you let yourself be you without restrictions you can breathe the fresh air again, you get curious, you become more loose about yourself and your image, you become free, you give yourself permission to not being mediocre, you meet your own gaze in the mirror without closing your eyes, you keep the gaze, are looking, looking at yourself, your life and see your own magnificence. There is only one You, love what you see.
When I was 12 years old I was between life and death, I tried to commit suicide because I couldn’t see any light anywhere, my life in my family was so difficult, my mother was mentally ill and an alcoholic and my father had left the home at the absolute worst time. It had been…
Most of the time we forget that we are just passing through this time and place, we get so caught up in dailylife, ego aspects, ups and downs that we don’t understand we are here to grow, to look at what is, we are here to open our hearts in every situation. From time to…
Connecting with my inuit spiritual heritage have been on-off on my mind for many years. In Greenland we have had a very long tradition with shamans – called Angakok, the wise people of the settlement being able to travel and stay in both worlds, the earthly world and the spirit world. In Greenland we believe…
From zero practice to daily two hours with presence in daily life. Is it possible? Is it realistic? To practice meditation on a daily basis require some planning, but mostly to built up gently and realistically so your practice will be: sustainable, deep, physically integrated, spiritually grounded, a naturally part of your life The goal…

Ps. I started meditating when I was 17 years old (probably even before in a different way), I have started and stopped many times, and had long periods where I was meditating every day for hours and hours, and long periods where I didnt meditate at all. I am meditating for the moment, my soul have…
When you are not you, for a period of time you keep peace in your life, but you know that truth will show it self over time, you know that change is inevitable it’s only a matter of time… Read or re-read my former post on my blog, how you allow yourself being more you :…
Are you curious about how I answered them read below the questions….
*Living in Greenland at the time, quitting my job “out of the blue” and entering a period of having responsibilities and no safety net plus having responsibilities and a lot of expenses. Then asking spirit to help me with a specific amount of money so I could go away for 3 months for 1 month healing education in California, 1 month vacation and 1 month starting up again. Spirit answered my request by giving me two huge interior projects covering all the expenses for the three months. Everything went so fast and fell in to place. Sometimes it is a matter of deciding – this is what I want. (this is one of the many times where I have been helped in a big way)
*I think I would host many more live events 🙂
*My periods of insecurity about daily life aspects, am I doing the right thing, have I taken the right choices, will I need to look after a “normal” job, will there be enough money and so on, and its definitely me being confronted in my own old way of living and in my mind not always giving myself what I long for.
*always always trust your gut feeling, your intuition is your best friend and will lead you to the good places in life. Ps. and do the things you love to do in small and big.
*at the beach, knitting, laughing with my girls, long walks, sleeping at the coach, sometimes cooking, and everyday looking after my rose plants.
*Yesterday, I started a running course in a group in a professional runners club, that felt good. But I would also say last month where I went to Sweden for an Ayahuasca retreat, that was so lovely…I really felt I loved myself by offering myself that time and experience.
*living in the story Im telling myself for the moment, including a long term home (although Im a nomad by heart), travel a lot more frequently with my work for inspiration and pleasure, write as part of my work, offering my INUA program more widely, keep myself happy happy happy, feel powerful, invincible, clear minded, vitality, eagerness – another level of deeper connection with myself and to remember always seeking my Souls wisdom when I get confused, freedom on all areas of my life.
Being in a process of transformation is part of life, some take more of them than others. During the process we face compromises, dilemmas and will be asked to juggle many tasks. During ones life journey with all the choices, basis of life and etc., you can loose clarity. Help yourself going inwards, connect deeper…
getting lost in life is part of the process of awakening, when you are lost you feel all kinds of feelings and can ask a lot of yourself, to get on track again, that you are wasting your time, have to be more intelligent, asking yourself to find your new path right away, When we…
Being authentic There is no image to maintain, no masks, no rules or trying to fit in to a group or role. People will like you and dislike you, but you will not worry about their opinion and how they look at you. You have learned not to look for approval from others, fitting in,…
…niverse Every thought you feel, every emotion you feel sends ripples out through the shared field. Yet another reason for going within and looking at your patterns, becoming more aware of what is running in your mind, becoming more conscious, releasing what is not needed anymore… When you sit alone in a quiet room you…
Cards offer messages, you can use from time to time to guide yourself. These are my card decks, which I use now and then, some more than others. I love how a card offer pointers and create new perspectives on a topic. Last time I met with my meditation group we picked cards, when my…
What is happening with your energy at the moment? Tuning into your own energy can deeply support the choices you make in everyday life. Becoming curious about your inner state can guide you when you feel tired, overstimulated, disconnected, or unable to think clearly. Instead of doing the opposite of what you truly need, begin…
Mine is when Im traveling, writing on my blog, being creative with my hands or doing art, quiet mornings, sensing myself and spirit, being in nature and in Greenland, wild nature sceneries, running, cooking, having friends and family over for dinner, visiting open air museums like Fredriksdal in Sweden, flower arrangements, swimming, helping people getting…
We can be very focused about how we are doing by looking at other people and what is going on, in our outside life. I do it myself and have to remind myself that comparing doesn’t help me, it rather take something from me, my me-ness, my authenticity, my truth…sometimes we think that those on…
Being independent is one of the most empowering paths we can take, but also a tough one, me being an independent woman, is a path with ups and downs, lots of emotions, thoughts, dealing with all kinds of circumstances, like your own belief system, courage, self motivation and willpower, and more areas to deal with.…
Align yourself by embracing enjoying, resting, reflecting, being inspired, perhaps being social, seeking silence, going within, spending time outside, dreaming, recovering from very busy periods, offering tenderness and caress for yourself and your family, in general listening to your intuition. I believe its a healthy path to connect with your soul and offer yourself a…
Savoring the present moment and enjoying warm weather with my youngest daughter and her lovely work as a daschdogs walker, I love my new soft life and aligning with my soul. Sometimes being busy and creative is part of the proces, but for the moment its about embracing rest, recovering and reflecting is part of…
Abundance and tapping in to manifesting abundance has nothing to do with effort, money, material things or feeling safe with specific outcomes. Abundance is energy and flow and works when you forget about it…
I have always had difficulties with all the manifesting steps, affirmations, writing your wish 100 times a day, vision boards and so on, my brain and mind goes blank, I have the feeling I have missed something in the understanding of the manifestation techniques, it gets too much, too complicated, to much in my mind…at the same time, I love there is so much material out there to help people, because we are different and perceive different, so what works for you may not work for me.
Over the years have I tried to understand what I do when I manifest desired things, and have never really had a formula for it. What I do know is that manifestation happens every day, desired and less desired things and experiences happens in our life. Manifestation has to do with receiving, allowing yourself to receive and to understand that you already are enough, you have enough, your life is enough as it is and that it all happens inside of you, not outside of you, you are the manifestation.
Abundance and manifestation isn’t about effort and doing, its not about going from A to B, there is no path or achievement, tasks, steps, or you have to change on the inside or outside, no doing, working on, waiting for, its just there when you need it, Over the years have I played with it in so many ways. Like when I felt it was time to have a piano in our home, at that time we were living in Greenland where its rare to find a piano, and even more rare to find it for a good price and in good condition. I emptied the space in our living room where I thought it would be good, one of my girls were drawing all the keys in 1:1 size and we placed them on the floor. I made room for it to be transported through our house and then we started to see YouTube videos with piano lessons and sat in front of our paper keys and enjoyed our piano. less than a week after someone were selling a perfect condition piano and there was a lot of interest in it. I was not the first one, BUT we got the piano, because I had planned it and felt it already was in our house, so the seller offered it to us, and then we had the piano the day after…So effortless, easy, natural…there was doing in this manifestation, but more as we own a piano, this is where its placed, this is how we use it way…and it has always worked for me.
I have realized that when there is something I want, then I try not to make it into something big (it doesn’t work with everything, I still have difficulties with certain things, and know I dont manifest because I use too much time, thinking, feeling, missing around the subjects, Im too deep in to the feeling/thinking about it that it has become a habit of missing it, and the feeling of not being able to achieve it, so I do that to myself, I can’t allow it in to my life, Im total aware of it, and try to ease it up with more neutral thoughts and approaches, leave the desires, which actually are a difficult part in manifestation, because you see it is missing in your life…
Surrender, trust, let the Universe (your higher self) take care of it…dont make it a big deal and know that it is already there, you dont have to do a lot of things….or not even worry about it. (which is the case for some things in my life), I know that the only thing I can do about it, is to leave it, forget about it, let go of it, or let go of all the feelings around not having it…
Lately have I changed my approach to myself and life, the trust in myself and my ability to flow with life and receive what I need has really changed for the better. It has a lot to do with letting go of fear, worries, accepting that life is what it is, being aware of I dont miss anything, letting go of struggle and lack mentality. It has a lot to do with acceptance of life like it is…but most of all its an understanding and knowingness.
The proces of transformation can sometimes be a very unpleasant, going from awakening to enlightenment is a process of releasing what you are not, redescovering your true Self and all that you are…a spiritual being, a soul in a human body with human experiences.
By coming home to the one you truly are, you help and inspire people around you in their realization. The more you are You, allowing yourself to feel everything, also all the unpleasant and painful things, you give yourself an understanding of who you are and those around you. In that proces we can start to create and manifest the lives we want and by allowing ourself to be who we are, we communicate deeply with our Soul. I believe we manifest from freedom in ourselves, freedom from restrictions, freedom from rigid rules, dogmas and conformities, you dive deep in to your own heart and Soul and allow yourself to be who you are…
Lifeforce flow so much easier through you when you surrender to the one you are, when you release, and let the energies work through you.
letting go of being half in yourself – trust your insights We don’t have to understand it – it is okay just to be in what is opening up now How do we know we are on our right path? money, likes and other peoples response will not be our sign, but instead our inner…
For the last 34 years I have had a little ritual I have offered myself every day in the evening. When I go to bed I place my hands on my heart and become present, then I say a little prayer I created when I was very young : I am one with universal love,…
In life we perhaps hear or have a feeling of being too much, or not where we are supposed to be, perhaps we feel invisible. Remember you are you, that makes you so special, so expand that light in all situations and relationships Comparing yourself with other people is a way of dimming your own…
What does it mean to love yourself….all those moments in your life, petting your cat, hugging your girls, meditating, listening to wonderful music, your food, view and nature, your shadow in the sunlight, memories, rain, silence, connecting with spirit, relaxing, sounds, offering healing, beauty, feeling your heart expand….and so much more…
