Some Beaver Medicine waited for us in the Forest


Beaver medicine asks us to take a good look at the quality of our environment and suggests destroy that which no longer serves . Destruction has an important role in creativity and can not be avoided.
Beaver medicine points that we have a hard time to be joyful because there is a compulsive need to feel important and be THE best ever at a given task or situation.
Western perspective seeks grandeur and leads to burn-out and exhaustion.

Lemming Totem - Outside the Box


These sweet Little Ones crossed our path several times on our journey in Norway ...
Good Medicine -
funny to watch , so I caught one in a video :)
http://youtu.be/SwrxUSHsoJg


_______

Lemming teaches us to examine our  lessons .
Lemming shows us how to think outside of the box and demonstrates courage.
Lemming is solitary in nature especially when population booms. Lemming teaches how to balance and manage our personal time with others.
Are you following others? Maybe it's time to think for yourself and voice your opinion?

Sheep Medicine - Renewal and Compassion



Sheep Medicine :
On the high Norwegian Mountain Plateau a Nature Reservation , there are free grassing sheep to keep the grass and other things down and work for the balance of the natural environment .
We took a time out on our journey and just sat us amongst them - in stillness and with an open heart. It was a wonderful experience how they observed us , checked us in from a distance and then after about half an hour a mother with her young one cautiously approached us , sniffing on us , decided that we are okay and then let her young ones come close to us .
In these times where glorification of busy is sooooo overrated , we miss the moments that stopping, stillness and patience can bring to nurture our souls .
******************************************************
Sheep spirit animals represent an innocent aspect of yourself; your childhood, child-like qualities characterized by innocence, gentleness.
Sheep is the symbol for renewal and compassion.

How to Survive Your Dark Night of The Soul Winter Valley


Winter is a challenging time for many. A lack of light , a lack of outside activities , a
withdrawal of energy , feelings of grief ,loss and depression.
It is not only much darker outside, it often feels much darker inside as well, and we might experience a sense of a dark cloud over and around us.
As the Earth so we, too, move through cycles :
from light to darkness , from up to down, stillness to movement .

Winter IS the dark time, and it is good to remember that we need a time to reflect, turn inwards, and give space for grief, un-cried tears , un-resolved issues, hurts, memories, stories.
Holding tears, grief, hurts, memories and stories without expressing them can result in even deeper wounding and stagnation that can have long lasting emotional and spiritual effects. 
An effect that is showing throughout all of society .
Winter is the time for the rites of passage where we can drop into our deeper and more hidden places and with gentle care and tender touch and a lot of compassion take care of what needs to be  taken care of.

As a counselor I can see that magic can happen during this time, and much quicker than during other seasons, if we commit ourself to the healing process.
For some, an extra support is needed by  counselors , healers, therapists or just  good friends who is to are able really listen and talk from the heart .
Asking for help is nothing to be ashamed about. Without shame we look for a doctor when we have  a broken leg, as we would have a hard time fixing it ourselves; the same is true for the hurting parts in our soul and psyche.
You might find own rituals as well e.g. Building grief altars , journaling, …
and there are many shamanic rituals who can help you through e.g. working with Death Mesas or a releasing hole in the earth etc.

You might like to help yourself with plants and foods that help you to move through this challenges. Changes in food and plant allies can actually make shifts that are like night into day shifts.

A period of several months of taking a B complex vitamin is often very helpful and
Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamine, is important for many health conditions , physically and psychologically, and boosts the immune system.

Focus on deeply nourishing and warm foods during the winter . Root veggies, beans, whole organic complete cereals, seaweed and mushrooms and roots . 
Long cooked stews will reduce the energy need of your intestines for breaking down the food and makes digestion smoother.
Protein and healthy fats are especially vital in supporting mental and emotional health. Whatever diet you fancy , make sure this is happening :)
Fermented foods are just great . So add some Sauerkraut, Miso, Yogurt, kombucha, pickles (not from supermarket ! ) to your food .. always... but especially in winter .
Healthy digestion makes for good nutrient absorption and healthy nervous system tissues.

The plant ally that comes to mind first for most is St. John´s Wort , but though this plant might help many people it might not work out for you. 
So consider asking a herbalist for alternatives.
Flower Remedies , TCM Acupuncture, homeopathy, … 
there are many ways to support you physically and emotionally while healing .

If you find you need support for  shifting perspectives, energy release, support in creating sacred shamanic ritual/ceremony for your healing work, help choosing essences, crystals or working on long term supportive lifestyle
This plan can involve  heart-to-heart sessions (face-to-face or skype) shamanic ceremony and ritual, animal totem helpers, flower essences and ceremony. If needed I will be happy to connect you to additional healers in other areas when needed ( TCM . Traditional Chinese Medicine, Herbalists... )

I went through a lot of darkness and grief in my life myself and I know from my own experience that the greatest gift in my process wasmy ability to ask for help when the darkness became overwhelming.

Releasing the Pain in the Emotional Body ~ Combined Sessions Intuitive Healing & TCM Acupuncture


~InSight of Today~

Yesterday we had a deep healing session with a friend who had have a gynekological emergency and surgery , was in pain for many days now and came out of the hospital. 
2 hours of intuitive healing combined with the great acupuncture knowledge of Ming Men Praktiken Karlstad made her feel sooo much better in the end.
Expanded energies and body, deep breath, shining eyes and lighter and more home in herself.

Today we got message from her. She is painfree since then and has not taken another pain killer yet .

Our main focus when we worked together is first to find and localize the origin of the pain in the emotional body ... what is it that needs attention and be attended . What is the physiological symptom talking about . In our deep inner research we can release a big part of what is hurting and manifesting in the physical body.
There are lots of shamans out there. I am sort of a Word Shaman. Listening to what is beyond , saying the words that can weave magic out of the suffering and change perspective profoundly.
After that I am doing an Intuitive Healing session ( Nerthus Reiki) with the person. Including sound, crystals, feathers,smudge and touch. We look at what comes up in regards of emotions, visions, colors, thoughts, sensations while the session is going on. Then we tune in and Agneta sets acupuncture needles or moxa to serve the momentary needs showing up. This might be for filling with Qi / Life Energy or releasing or relaxing ....
After the healing session there is an assessment / reflection / integration time ....


When we can touch down to the original pain in the emotional body , there often is a big release of pain in the physical body as we do not longer need it as messenger about what seems to be going wrong in our lifes ... we can stop holding on to the seizures, we can loose our grip and our cells eventually step up and expand in vibration, find back into their original healthy state .

HOW TO Approach Healers, Medicine Women, Shamans .. and an Hommage to my Healers and Teachers

My sister Magdala made me think about manners lately... as walking the way of the Divine Feminine does mean to NOT impose harmony or use politeness as a way of being . So what does that mean practically when it comes to manners ? Does that mean we can just behave like naugthy little hungry ghosts ...

We need Healing, we approach a Healer, Elder , Medicine Woman, Shaman ... and just bluntly ask for it and await them to give it freely, take their care, time and sharing wisdom for granted ? NO .

I did some research and found several notes about how to approach those ppl (in traditional ways) . Here is just a short excerpt:

*********************

Visits With Healers, Elders and Medicine People

When you go to a Healer, Elder or Medicine Person, be yourself, be respectful to them and to yourself.

Take tobacco to give as an offering. Tobacco is meant for that communication between you, the Healer and the Creator. The tobacco can be in any form. For example, it can be one cigarette from a pack, it can be a pack of cigarettes, it can be a pouch of tobacco or it can be loose tobacco wrapped in a small square of cloth (called a tobacco tie).

Talk to the Healer or Elder explaining why you have come to them. Refrain from taking alcohol or drugs for four days before going to a Healer. Other gifts can be given to express your gratitude for the help you have received. This may be in the form of an item such as a basket or blanket or it could be money.

There are certain protocols specific to each Healer, Elder or Medicine Person. Many Healers will have helpers who will convey these protocols to you.

*******************************************

But this again is a protocol you would just have to follow and question is, is that our ways ... giving rules, protocol and let ppl follow and hope they understand why ?

NO. This is male ways.We can do better now :)

So to me manners in The feminine ways have to work differently.

We have to find back into our Heart. Open the space and feel and realize what a great gift will be given to us through this meeting.... How deeply it will effect our Healing ...How precious life and lifetime is - not only our own but especially of those who have walked the path of pain, growth and went through it all for the Highest Best of all and now supporting us.

I have approached some real great teachers and healers in my life - some of them Natives but also western bodhisattvas. ... Protocol could not have awakened me to what I "owe" them ... but my heart could ...

even if things went bizarre for whatever reason, if something didn't work out as expected ... I owe them my life .

They brought me out of deepest depression , helped me out of phobic thinking that didn't allow for me to call my life life any more.Went through fear and grief with me. They re-connected me to All That Is , opened my heart (and often my eyes , too ;-) .

Our possessions are few, but I would always give as much as my life allows at that moment . What would all that be , if I would still be depressed, in fear and lack of love in my heart or couldn't move any more.

So when we truly live from the Heart we will never ever go to a Healer/ Teacher without a gift , something meaningfull , not just a "left-over" ...we feel such a deep love for them , that we naturally find "manners" how to approach someone we love , respect and care for.

As writing this note has made my Heart vibrate with Love and Gratitude ,

I take the opportunity to pay Hommage to at least some of them

( I am fully aware that everything that has life in it is my teacher and healer but that would expand my list in ways I cannot -yet- hold))

Avalon Whitefeather Channeling Mary Magdalena and Mother Mary



Message from Mary Magdalene & Mother Mary - Concerning The Return of the Feminine. Channeled through Whitefeather 30/7/2010

Mother Mary and I come to speak as we have messages pertaining to the Return of the Feminine that we wish to share. There is much being done at this time around your world to bring ceremony and attention to the world, of the Return of the Feminine . This is wonderful and most beautiful, we urge that you continue with these practises for they help to awaken others around you, giving them cause to pause and reflect, think a while and make changes in their own lives. This is the key, this is the essence of Femininity. Change. Women are like water, like any liquid, we are fluid, malleable, able to permeate in and around obstacles, to bend and change to match our environments, women adapt and flow.

Over the eons of time, despite the brutality and oppression of women at the hands of unenlightened men, women had remained strong, vigilant, aware, woman have not lost their inner wisdom, although in some it is buried deep at this point in time as they strive to become like a man in a mans world. That inner wisdom IS the female essence.

Whilst you continue with your ceremonies, we would ask that all women take the time to go within themselves on a daily basis and to reconnect with your own inner essence, your truths. For it is here you will find the strengths you need to gently yet firmly realign yourselves with your true essence and your roles as ambassadors of the feminine essence and its return to the world. Some women will have high profile lives, travelling the world to spread this message, some will work diligently with small groups of women, and still others will work alone simply by changing themselves and allowing others around them to see the beauty they emanate.

Many women will find themselves in male dominated work places, your role is not to conform to their forceful energies, neither is it to rule them with the iron rod that they themselves would use, your role is to return gentleness and love, beauty and compassion to the workplace, no matter what or how that work place presents itself, this may be difficult and easier to return the same fiery energy to them, but this will not change the situation, only gentleness and love will, given time and patience and a quiet determination.

Other women may find themselves in oppressive home life situations, perhaps where you feel circumstances prevent you from leaving at this time. Remember wherever you all are at this given time, is where you are meant to be for a reason, and in this situation you must find the reason and work with it from the beautiful essence of your feminine self. You have to reach into the cold hearts of stone of these men and show them the love and beauty that resides there if they allow themselves to feel their own feminine essence within themselves. Your sacred mission, as with all women, is to bring the beauty of love back into the hearts of all men. With your own gentle, loving and receptive ways you will begin to soften the hearts of these men who have forgotten how to love unconditionally, how to love and honour women, how to love and honour all life.

Some women will find themselves in physically abusive situations repressed by social or religious order, know that this is neither the God’s or the Goddess’s wish for women, it is not the lores of the universe, but the laws of corrupted mankind.

The universe operate under sacred lores, unwritten knowing held deep in the heart of every being, mankind operates of laws they have written for the benefit of themselves.

When a women finds herself in this position, know that your role is not to become the victim, you are not here to suffer such abuses but do not try to return their dominance with anger or by fighting back with yet more violence, fighting denigrates the spirit and your holy, sacred mission. Instead you must find the strong feminine courage within you and leave, find solace with other women of like mind, only when you all come together can these oppressive situation be changed.

There will be women amongst you all whose role it is to guide, teach and lead others, there will be men attaining places of power who are not afraid of the feminine within them or of the feminine that walks beside them in their daily lives. We do not foresee women being rulers of vast countries or empires, that would be undermining masculine energy, there must be a balance of the two. It is not a woman’s role to become a man, but to lead from the full beauty of being a woman who stands in her own gentle yet strong power. A woman’s power is not dominance, it is not thrusting and forceful, as women’s power is in her instincts, her inner knowing and the quiet resolve and determination she carries. A woman’s power is the beauty from within her heart and not in the physical form she inhabits. A woman’s power is what is needed to return the world to balance.

Each woman and man, has within them, the balance of both female and male energies, often referred to as yin and yang. Whatever you choose to call it, it is the delicate state of balance that throughout the whole universe, in both your outer world and your own personal inner world, regardless of your gender. This is the balance that must be return to the self, to the Earth, to the Universe. Women are as guilty as men of allowing this masculine, dominant, self orientate energy to rise and take precedence over the feminine, especially in the western world where women have sought to become like men in both their attire and their ways. In the east women have allowed themselves to become subservient, lower class victims of man’s dominance.

The Master Merlin has spoken of this through Whitefeather’s vessel on many occasions, Choices - (they smile) it is a word he uses often, but with necessity. So often, women believe they cannot change their circumstances, cannot change the men in their lives. But women, we come to tell you that this is not the case. You each carry great power within you for creating change, women you ARE creators. But it is not about forcefully trying to change another. To quote another great and very balanced male soul, You Must Be The Change You Wish To Be , Bless you our dear brother Mahatma Ghandi for your work during your incarnation.

So women, reach inside yourselves, stop the external fights, a woman’s courage comes from a quiet resolve and steadfast dedication and determination to make changes in herself that she knows to be true to her soul and for the greater good of the whole. A woman is likened to the deer that stands its ground when the lion comes for her fawn, she will protect her young, be like the deer and quietly but firmly stand you ground and love all things, even in the face of danger.

You do not need to be a Mother to feel the passions of Mother Love, you do not need to have children at your feet to know they are the future of the Earth and so must be taught well. Find the Mother Love within yourselves and care for all the worlds children. When we speak of all the worlds children, we do not refer only to infants, but to adults and elders alike, humans and all animals and creatures, the trees and plants, rocks, stones and soil, the rivers and oceans, all things on and of the Earth that surround you, all thing whether near or far.

The Return of the Feminine must begin with returning the essence of femininity into the hearts of every living soul, and to do that, you must each become the embodiment of the feminine essence and her qualities. Love, Beauty, Compassion, Nurturance, Understanding, Receptivity and the Quiet Inner Strength.

And now we would address the men and say to them, do not fear the Return of the Feminine, for it is already within you anyway, but long forgotten and buried under your need for materialism, wealth, progress and control. But it IS there. Women are not going to take over the world, they are merely regaining the energy that has been lacking over the last millennia that is now ready to return to the hearts of ALL humanity. Embrace it dear men, use it to become the new gentle yet forceful energy of change in your world. Your strength and driving force is praised and honoured when used wisely in balance with the feminine instincts of Love and Compassion. Balance the two within yourselves, let Love and Compassion soften the hardened exteriors you have built around your hearts. There is nothing, nothing to fear, you are not going to loose anything. When you work with the feminine to restore balance, you are working to help yourselves and all other beings to a better world.

The era of the Return of the Feminine WILL happen, we urge you all, women and men alike, to embrace these feminine qualities now, within yourselves and together the return of balance can come sooner and with far less labour pains for the Earth and yourselves. The Earth is working to throw off the energies of the excesses of the male energy, she will continue to do so making life difficult and painful for many. But why prolong this ? Why fight it ? (they smile and giggle) Hmmm, we are sounding like the Master Merlin and the questions he always like to pose for you. But on this occasion it is right to do so, for you all have the strength and power within you all right now, you always have done, to halt the flow of the out of control, destructive masculine energies, simply by flooding yourselves with the feminine.

Men we ask you to become gentle, compassionate leaders. Women we ask you to continue to spread Love, Beauty and Joy through all your endeavours . All humanity, we ask you to bring the feminine into every aspect of your lives, to respect women for the creators they are, man may plant the seed but without the nurturance and love of the woman, that seed cannot grow, therefore woman are the creators and as such should be honoured and respected as sacred beings. When you do this, then a growing wave of gentle energy will return the Earth to balance, then each of you can take pride and comfort in knowing you are a part of the process of the Return of the Feminine - A Return to Balance.

Much love and blessings are with you all at this time, we are but a whisper away, call us, all of us, and we are with you in an instant, for you carry us already in your hearts, you just need to find us again. Awaken to the feminine within.

Mary Magdalene and Mother Mary.
