Becoming a shamana

I have become a shamana. All of a sudden in January, my good friend and spiritual teacher A. told me that he now sees me that way. It felt like a great honor and touched me deeply.

My sense of myself has changed. My consciousness is constantly changing with it. And my inner child is extremely happy to finally have a title for what I’ve really, in a sense, been able to do all my life. At the same time, I am proud of 25 years of disciplined study and practice in shamanism and spirituality in general.

Lifelong practice

Actually, I have practiced much longer than that, ever since I came to this world at least… For example, as a child, I used to stare into a bright point or a candle until I disappeared into complete stillness and lost track of the world around me. Later in life, I learned that this is a well known meditation technique from Asia.

I was born in Stockholm, Sweden on the 11th of January in 1977. I have been what is called spiritual since then. A part of this has meant seeing and experiencing much love, compassion and beauty, but also an awareness of the pain and struggles of the world, in away which differs from that of most people.

Being a shaman or shamana

I can for example see and/or communicate with beings from other dimensions. Very early in life I also observed how even loving, amazing people around me abused and sometimes attacked one another energetically. I remember strongly how I as a young child promised never to act like that.

And now I am officially a shamana (a feminine shaman), authenticated by a respected teacher. I do not work with medicinal plants – I have other ways of sharing changes of coinscousness. I also have two diplomas in Reiki, knowledge of various forms of healing, Feng Shui, tantra, tarot, magic, witchcraft (good) and I love sharing wisdom and inspiration through transformative storytelling. Furthermore I developed a coaching method aimed at empowerment and specialized in organizational development using spiritual tools, amongst other things.

I’m actually really proud of myself and I look forward to sharing even more of my gifts with the world. Holding cermonies, giving sessions full of compassion, care and magic, organizing workshops. I have done this for years already, but I will focus even more on it now.

My inner child is so happy and content about this development. My entire being is. It’s a time for celebration!
