The Bardo State of Mind and Heart

Reflection after client session : 
when starting to awake we see all with new eyes . Our life , people and their "shortcomings" , the daily life struggle we have created out of our woundedness. This is a tough period of Bardo . 

The old is not totally gone, the new not totally clear and manifest. In this Bardo time we deal with tendencies to grasp and get back to the old patterns and feelings in order to feel safe and home.
The Bardo's bottomlessness scares us deep down to the bones..
It is a good thing to make that state conscious. Being conscious about it allows us to make more conscious choices... We can identify where we grasp , we can choose where we still want / need to hold onto something and where we are ready to loosen the grip and see where we end up when we leave ourselves to the flow ...
We choose where we can die into and are ready for total surrender and where we are not ready yet. Making the Bardo process conscious is making the dark hole conscious we have been so afraid of most of our lifes and meet it with open eyes .

Bardo : The Tibetan word bardo (བར་དོ་ Wylie: bar do) means literally "intermediate state"—also translated as "transitional state" or "in-between state" or "liminal state". 

Allow For Help - Allow Receiving

I am back from a short holiday in Norway ....
some times we need to set ourselves loose , even physically , to jump in another kind of flow than we are usually in in our daily lives....
We do have a lot of really good ideas, we quote wise words but often we do not really be-live that life is about surrender , flow and love. We might THINK it but we miss the FEELING part .
Thus, travelling and experiencing things out of our comfort zone is a good thing .
Here comes a little sharing from our journey:

We had no fixed plan and just followed our heart.
This brought us up into the Norwegian mountain .
We drove quiet a while until we realized that to go on we would need to pay a fee to enter the Conservation Park and go on . Actually we had no Norwegian hard money to put into the machine .
So we entered the little supermarket ( the only place open in the whole area ) , but it turned out that neither could we change money nor could they take the sort of card we had. ....
In that minute a young woman stepped up out of nowhere and just offered us the money we needed , without anything in return !
No money , no thing. Just that.
We had a very nice conversation and we shared the happiness about our human meeting. ...
My learning : it is equally necessary to learn to receive as it is to give.
We need to un-controll and un-plan our lifes in order to open the doors for the hearts to open again...
if we always avoid to come into the place of being helpless we deprive ourselves of the wonderful opportunity to meet the goodness in others and restore our belief in humanity . 

The Medicine of Green

 

 

Re-Creating ourselves in nature is priceless. Rooting, breathing, embracing , exposing , empowering, and so much more.... the natural Spa and Transformation WorkShop ~ for free
And miracles wherever we go and open our hearts and eyes .
On yesterdays medicine walk , I met these two beings ~ they were perfectly adapted to natures spring colors . At first I didn´t even realize that there was a green butterfly as she actually looked like a young blueberry leaf - camouflage to survival I guess.

Green is the color of Nature and the earth. It is balance and harmony in essence and possesses a soothing influence upon both mind and body.

Butterflies symbolize different things to different cultures, but universally, they represent change and transformation. Butterfly starts as a crawling creature that ‘sleeps´ in a cocoon, only to rejoin the world as a flying insect.

Beetles represent metamorphosis, resurrection, rebirth of the soul, innocence of purpose. Beetle signals a confirmation that we are on the right track and we should pursue our goals.

Loosing What We Never Wanted

InSight from a client session : 
How much suffering do we create, when we cling to an idea of what we DO NOT HAVE / ACHIEVE / GET / LIVE . When confronted with limitations, we often get caught in the resistance and grief about the "loss", 
even when this loss is about something we never wanted in first place. 
But now the "loss" is overshadowing all we have , we live in a mind of poverty , instead in the abundance of what actually IS - even if that what IS once have been our biggest dream.
This fight against perceived loss of something we never wanted , gets out of hand , makes daily life a torture even when we live our dream.

Shifting perspective is the key we need to find and use.
To step back into abundance and expand our mind, heart and body again , who have restrained themselves in the poverty state and caused mutliple symptoms on all levels and cut short on our life.

Fractured Parts

Reflection from today´s work with a student/client  of mine :

we get so easily caught into the illusion of identifying with personality parts that we unconsciously have built up due to karma/ circumstances at young age , that we shut down the Flow of Life, because it is a threat to that part .
During life we grow into more and more illusion of separation , not only to the outer world, but most of all to to our true self. We develop more and more fractured personalities and come to a point where we cannot longer handle all the seemingly contradictory parts in ourselves . Our mind , by trying to find solutions gets totally confused and into high actvity... it works without giving us a break, often   insomnia beng one of the results.

In order to find a way out we need to work with tools that allow us to distance ourselves from all these personalities and expose them as what they are .... constructs of our own mind.
Our mind ,  that after having created all of it then steps forward to say, "wait , just let´s think/analyze/worry .... and we will find the solution " ...actually it is like giving the herding job to the wolves ;-)

Instead we need to take a step outside and see from a transpersonal point of view . When we can do that , transformation and healing take pleace ... finally .
