Journey to Avalon

I am very excited because I am packing my bag for a big Priestess meeting in lovely Glastonbury/Avalon! It is a meeting for all the Priestesses who have done the same training as I have. 

Well, not everyone can be there, but this year a lot of us from overseas have made the effort to come since Kathy Jones said last year that she would like this year´s meeting to be BIG! 

And it feels wonderful that so many of us will meet up for several days of workshops, talks and sharing!

I can´t wait to walk the sacred land, to walk up on the Tor and breathe in the energy of The Lady! I will be able to spend time with dear friends who I don´t see very often since most of us live in different countries. 

On the Saturday I am giving a talk about my journey as a Priestess and how I have gotten to where I am today. It will be great fun! I can´t wait to hear the other talks too!

And I can´t wait to have a look around the shops! I know them so well, but I never know what treasures I will find! 

When I come back I will tell you ALL about it!

Until then, be well dear friends!

Nature is wonderful!

Last night I saw a photographer on TV talk about a photo he had taken of ice crystal patterns on a window. It was beautiful and looked like something someone had drawn.
This morning as I went out on my balcony to hang out a blanket I was met by the beautiful sight of ice crystal patterns right there, outside my own door!
How wonderful and amazing nature is! I am in awe of the beauty of these natural patterns!
Enjoy, my friends!

Pleasure!

I take great pleasure in looking at this picture!!

In the mindfulness course I am writing I just created a day just for noticing pleasure! I thought it was a wonderful idea! For one day a week during the 4 week course the awareness will be on pleasure. As much as we can on that day we will try and see what is pleasurable in every moment! Especially when we think we are not enjoying ourselves, like when we are stressed out, rushed or in pain.

In those moments, take a breath and stop your thinking. 
Feeeeeel.... 
Do you have nice comfortable shoes on? Is the sky just stunningly beautiful? Are you eating something delicious? How about the flow of air into your lungs?

What are you enjoying, even LOVING, in this moment?

For me, right now....
A cup of delicious blackcurrant tea that feels warm in my belly... My feet are comfortably resting on the table.... My back is supported by a soft pillow and my home is quiet, warm and cosy. I am loving writing my blog and sharing my thoughts with you all.
I take pleasure in all of this and more.

Thank you for being here!

Shine!

"Your job is not to worry about whether or not you are worthy or whether you should. Your job is simple - step up. Shine. Be the biggest light you can."

Leonie Dawson

As I was working through Leonie Dawson´s business workbook today I read this quote. And it just hit me right in the heart! It rings so true to me! She is right! Why should we spend time worrying whether or not we should do something if we want to do it, if it feels right!

Let us just do it! Let us all shine!

Are you inspired by that quote too? Maybe you want to have a look at Leonie´s business workbook too!

Womb Wisdom circle

Yesterday I went to a Womb Wisdom Circle that a Priestess sister of mine, Camilla Åkerström, held. I looove women´s circles! There is such strength, healing and transformation to be found in them. 
This was the first of five womb circles, and unfortunately I will miss the next two but I can tell you I will be back in that room ready for more for the last two!

We were four women who gathered in the beautiful space created by Camilla. In the corner was a table, covered with a dark, red tablecloth. It was the altar, and it was decorated with beautiful Goddess statues and other items. In the centre of the circle of pillows and sheep skin rugs was a tall candle and some flowers. Gentle healing music was playing and at first I just stood there, unable to sit down, just wanting to absorb, breathe in and be one with the beauty and the peace. Finally I chose my seat and sat down with a warm cup of chai tea.

It was a wonderful evening. We did breathing exercises and meditations, we danced to awaken the powerful, raw and beautiful female energy that we all have inside us. One exercise was a meditation where we held our arms out to the side for a VERY long time, while breathing and opening our hearts. It was hard, but towards the end I was filled with such an overwhelming joy I did not know what to do! I still do not understand what happened, and I don´t need to know. But I know that the pain in my arms was worth it. 

By the end of the evening I felt that so much had happened, but not so much on a conscious level. I am thinking that the transformation is within and will continue to spread its wisdom and blessings in my life. I am ready to go deeper!

For those of you who want to know more about womb wisdom I can recommend the book Womb Wisdom by Padma and Anaiya Aon Prakasha. When I read it I was just amazed! I said to my husband that "This book is transforming my life!!" It is filled with soooo much wisdom and so much that just feels right. I really recommend it!

And if there is a womb circle near you I would check it out! We all need to connect to the primal power and knowledge of that sacred space!

Love and blessings.

What a beautiful day!

Today was sunny, icy cold and just amazingly beautiful! This morning we went for a short walk down to the lake, and in the afternoon we took another stroll on the way to the shops. 
I took tie to just look, absorb and breeeeeathe in the beauty of this winter´s day. The sun´s light on the frozen lake, the light on the bare branches and the mossy rocks behind them, the tiny ice crystals on a wooden fence. 

I would like to share some photos I took today. I hope you enjoy them!

New energy of Imbolc!

Today is the pagan celebration of Imbolc where we honor the Maiden aspect of ourselves. She who comes with new beginnings and lights the spark of inspiration in our hearts. 

Oh how I welcome her! 

I am feeling her inspiration and trying to open myself up even more so that I do not hold back anything. I want to embrace her to the full! I want to allow myself to follow her on her path, dancing past the budding flowers, laughing and singing. I want to go with the flow and learn to say YES and be OPEN!

I want to breathe her in and be transformed by her touch.

Today I felt such inspiration. I have decided to start creating e-courses, and the one I have started on is about mindfulness. I was wondering if I would be blocked and not know what to write. But I could not stop!! I only had two hours while my little daughter was sleeping, but it was wonderful to feel such flow! I have already started planning an advanced course! Wow!

How are you feeling? Are you open to the new energies of spring? Have you breathed in the beauty of the day and of the night?
Are you expecting miracles? Do!

May the blessings of Bridie be with you!
