Aliveness
This month's shamanic Power Symbol gives you a deeper sense of your own aliveness and the abundance contained in every single moment on earth. Recently I had the honor to create a shamanic Power Symbol on the topic of aliveness for a client. As is often the case, this assignment fit my own process perfectly.
As Above So Below
As Above, So Below
As Within, So Without
As The Universe, So The Soul
As the universe, so the soul...
Calm and eternal and full of undiscovered worlds within.
Shamanism From My Point Of View
I used spring, which was blessed with a lot of rain here in Switzerland, to completely revamp my website. It is now much clearer and more accessible. You will often come across the word "shamanic" when discovering it. Hence I would like to share my personal views on the use of this term in the western world with you:
Being A Tree
Spring is my absolute favorite season. Everything blooms and awakens to new life - so do my ideas and projects every year. A lot happens around this time in my anyways busy life. Also I see the dance of the tides strongest in spring; how winter doesn't just voluntarily give up its place, and summer has to drive it away with storms and thunderstorms, making room for itself.
Oiehatlotl
This Symbol tells the story of the web and its weavers. In all ancient cultures there is a story about one or more mythical beings who determine the destiny of humans and the universe by weaving or untying the threads of faith. In Norse mythology we see the three Norns, which I like to call past, present and future, sitting at the foot of the world tree Yggdrasil to weave the destinies of humanity and all inhabitants of the worlds of Yggdrasil.
Rune Means Whisper
When I was traveling through Ireland in 2011, I received a small polymer clay bead from one of my new acquaintances. It was maybe the size of a penny and had a blue symbol painted on the yellow background. Astonished, I studied this new code, which I hadn't seen before, and then had my friend explain to me that the symbol was a letter from the Celtic Ogham Script.
Unalome
The Unalome is a symbol from Buddhism and is often described as a sign of the path to enlightenment. Since the concept of enlightenment is a very abstract concept in the West, I usually say that it is the symbol of the path from separation to totality. The symbol begins at the center of the spiral; This point symbolizes our birth into the earthly sphere. Here we find separation; Separation from the maternal body; The experience that our body is our own and we are ‘alone’ in it.
