Opulence, luxury, richness, abundance, splendor, lavishness…

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 the outside have some kind of opinion about us, our life and what is the right way to be.

Succes, abundance and happiness for me has changed more and more over the years.

Peace. I love I having peace in my life, no drama, besides what my old cat did during the night when he was alive.

Time. I love having time in the mornings, just in general having time, time for myself, time for those I love and care for and time in my life in a slower pace. Getting up later than I usually do, I really enjoy having a lot of time before I sit in front of my computer. Time for coffee, slow mornings, talking with my daughter.

Freedom. Freedom is a big thing for me and covers a lot of areas. Over time I have realized that freedom comes with courage, courage to be who you are and honor your needs, honor your soul, the truth of who you really are. Remember whenever we loose something, it also sets us free, and we are only as free as we allow ourself to be.

Love. Let it in…love not only your flowers but also your thorns, it makes a whole, make it your priority and the backdrop of your life, love is flow, its space, love keeps your heart open and helps you to open it,

Simplicity. I love the big things in life, but I´m living for the small things, alone time, walks, my flowers and plants, meeting animals (especially after we lost our sweet loved cat), nice diet, retreats and growth, quality time, few items at home. And wear that cloth you keep for special occasions now.

Intuition. Honor the way you feel, if it feels off in some way walk away from people, places and things. It´s valid and legitimate.

Empowering Independence: How Spirituality Supports Self-Reliance and Confidence

Bagsværd Sø – copyright : trapdanmark lex

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.

I have realized that besides the love area, independence is one of my biggest life themes, showing up in different forms, as challenges and opportunities. Being a full time single mother for almost 15 years, has definitely been my growth area for independence.

For me independence is a matter of freedom and being able to make your own decisions based on personal values, living a life that reflects where you are and with what you love. I also think is a matter of taking full responsibility for yourself, managing your life and looking at things which you are trying to avoid. Embracing self-reliance, confidence, and the freedom to create a life aligned with your values. Independence provides us with the strength to pursue our dreams, free from dependence on others and circumstances we dont like. And I believe that true independence starts within—by connecting with your spirit and intuition.

In my spiritual practice, I help clients strengthen their inner voice, releasing limiting beliefs, and aligning with their higher purpose. Through healing, mediumship, and intuitive guidance, I support those who wants to empower themselves, making choices that honor their soul and goals. Financially and emotionally independence can be nurtured through inner work, spiritual guidance, and energy healing, leading to a life where we feel self-assured, purposeful, and free. And I can honestly say I walk my own talk on my own path.

I encourage you to set up one small independent goal with a clear action plan. For me it has been different things, like running, giving myself the clear goal to be able to run 5kilometers/3,10miles in 15 weeks. The reasons I started to run again was that I obviously needed to change some habits in my life, so my health could be better, but I knew from earlier in my life, if I started running again, asking professionals for help to overcome and manage old injuries, I would be able to succeed in the end. But the most important thing for me about running is my mindset. I love who I am when I run, I look at myself in a much brighter, loving, caring, respectful way, giving myself room because I have an understanding that training takes time, we actually need to take time out to do it, and just do it, and over time it pays out a result. I know myself enough that I keep my own word to complete what I have started.

For several years have I had a goal to improve my connection with spirit and mediumship, which means I have spend 3-6 times a week (mostly in the evenings, where I doesn’t function well, because I am a morning person) for several years practicing, being a student, honing my skills, reading, putting myself out there with my skills and feeling vulnerable, until I now feel very comfortable and really good about it.

For the moment my goal is to create more resting time, more space for spontaneous things to happen….slowing down, yesterday I took a day off and packed a picnic bag for one of my friends and myself, and we had a beautiful long walk in a nearby forrest and had some hours next to a wonderful lake where we sat barefeeted next to a tree, some docks came and laid next to us, we saw two newly married couples having their photos taken, sun was shining, warm weather, just calm, restful and good for our friendship…

“If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further in to the water than you feel you´re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth, and when you don´t feel your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting” David Bowie

If you feel ready to embrace your independence and align with your spirit, I invite you to join me. Book a session here to start your journey toward empowerment, authenticity and a going deeper in to the water.

owning who you are

Be open and curious

I have always loved to read, all kinds of literature – but for the last ten years it has mostly been non-fictional books, and I have felt I kind of had to relearn reading fictional books. I went to the library some days ago with my eldest daughter to pick up a non fictional book,…

Aligning and Embracing

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 happy and succesful life. A more soft life, more balanced, living slowly, going gently, being very selective in actions and words, taking leaps outside your comfort zone, learning new things and paving your path for more alignment.

gratitude

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 the progress of slowing down, rejuvenating and re-finding who I am, feeling at home in myself.
Life is about giving and being in a gentle way. When did you do something just for yourself?!

Being half in yourself

letting go of being half in yourself – trust your insights

resting, enjoying, satisfied, sacred, my eldest daughter collecting berries 10 years ago in Greenland, so much peace and flow in this moment

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 insight – a feeling of yes – this feels right which is important, no euphoria or safety – but more this feels right although we still can feel insecure

When you have doubts ask yourself :

Does it feel real? Does it feel like me? Does it feel like at little step forward?

You dont have to know where it all ends, as long as your moving feels right

Mirror

Spiritual awakening doesn’t have to be grande and loud, extrovert and full of energy and bling bling, it doesn’t have to be together with a spiritual group or teacher, you dont even have to understand everything and see the big picture or find answers, sometimes it is so quiet and in your own company, feeling…

As some of you may know Im a professional interior designer and work with space in my dailylife.

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, wisdom, will and wealth

Do you have a prayer or do something to connect with your inner light?

Taking back your light

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 light, so turn up your own light when you are with others

When we stay small we dont allow our light to shine

When you realize what is sparking a light within you, you can illuminate it to the world.

Protecting your light without hiding it is also a way of honoring your own light

During the day pause and offer yourself some silence a few minutes, feel your body and sense how you actually are doing. Slow down and see the small things in life, the light through the window, somebody being kind, or what can I learn from this in a difficult situation, or create some beauty around you, speak with kindness also when it is demanding, keeping your boundaries are also light and doing things with intention. To be our light is not always positive, happy and joyful days, but more a matter of being honest and sincere with ourself and our life, being conscious and responsible with our energy/light.

Sometimes we inspire other people to shine their light by allowing our own light to shine, without even knowing

Unseen to seen

Being seen

Making your inside visible

As a psychic, medium and healer I use my strong intuition to help you feel seen, heard, valued, supported and give you new perspectives on your situation. You have your free will and are responsible for your life and choices, but I am able to put spotlight on situation, and show you different options and pathways in your current situation.

What I really love is to help you working deeper with transformation, healing and living from your light and soul so you experience real and lasting change.

Im not here to teach you a lot of things, but here to meet you so you can meet yourself. Im in a process myself, where I am letting go of my own identity, becoming more truthful towards myself and opening up even more, I walk myself. My belief and biggest gift is to help you feel safe about who you are right now.

In a session with me, It’s very simple, I listen, I sense, I mirror and ask some honest questions. Im not here to fix or save you, or take responsibility for your process, that would only drain me and that is not my role.

I can help you with understanding, feeling and letting go of feelings, help you create clarity and direction when you feel lost, help you to transform old strategies and patterns and start something new by helping you to connect with yourself, feeling your intuition and finding home to yourself.

I know the feeling of being sensitive, being in transition, feeling lost and longing for something much more genuine, the need of being seen, by yourself and others.
