Martine Moulart/Natuurlijk Ritme

We weten dat we een energieveld hebben. Ben je je bewust welke energie je daarin toe laat? En wat dat met je doet?
Ik vind het heel fijn om daar steeds bewuster in te worden. Ik merk dat het wat doet met mijn hoeveelheid energie en mijn welbevinden. Ik blijf me daarover verwonderen.

Soms denken we na een diepe transformatie, waar we hard aan gewerkt hebben, dat het vanaf nu wel goed zal zijn. De ergste moeilijkheden zijn voorbij en dan ... PATS ... wordt je wereld weer ondersteboven gezet. De schrijfster hieronder kan dat heel mooi verwoorden. Het begrijpen maakt alles al lichter. 🌟

There is what is termed 'The Little Death' within shamanic lore.

It comes from an understanding that we die again and again to what we no longer need in life and yes it feels exactly like a death, a great sadness, a great loss is happening from within.

It is the natural death of some outmoded concept or way of viewing things that no longer serves.

One can feel as if they are going through a type of psychic death so that the old story can be dislodged from the psyche.

It feels deeply uncomfortable and can literally bring you to your knees.

However, these 'Little Deaths' are important transitions in the life of someone who walks the conscious path.

One can learn so much during these rites of passage.
Do not try to fight, avoid or hurry these deepening times, however painful they feel.

Merge with the feeling of release, open your heart to letting go of what no longer serves and allow the process.

Keep close to nature, merge with inner nourishment (Sanctuary and kin), and let yourself release in whatever way feels safe.

There is natural magic in this transition.

Adapting to change can be challenging

The uncomfortableness of it can pull at us and tug at what we have clung to.

This is why being gentle towards oneself is paramount.

Being gentle is accepting that all feelings are valid even if others think they are not, allowing time to adjust and integrate those changes within yourself in your own time, taking small but firm steps so you don't get overwhelmed and react badly and make things worse, and very importantly acknowledging your progress in some way however small.

Change is natural.
Adjust to the changes with gentleness as your companion.

When we 'try' to do something, we attempt to do it.

However, after that initial attempt, if we keep 'trying' we make things more difficult and tend to get in our own way.

You might like to softly chant 'Allow' gently and repeatedly within yourself and let your body drop into the space via each out-breath of willing receptivity.

When we allow and let ourselves receive, we can then easily and naturally connect to the multidimensional landscape.

Ik hoorde laatst iemand zeggen over haar job bij een telefoondienst. Ik ben moeten stoppen want dit werk maakt dat ik mijn eigen gedachten stroom niet meer kan volgen en dat slurpt energie en is na lange tijd destructief. Hoe vaak zitten we niet in een vergelijkbare situatie met werk of privé ? Hoe normaal vinden we dat? Voor mij was het erg herkenbaar.

For us now Nature is like an appendix to us and our life. Well, the Sun and the Moon shine for us, and we do not think much about everything else that happens to the Earth. But our ancestors spiritualized Nature and treated it very respectfully. They celebrated significant solar and lunar days, saw off and welcomed the seasons. They worshipped the luminaries and the forces of Nature, brought gifts and gratitude. From here went different traditions, the origins and meaning of which we sometimes no longer understand. Bake pancakes as a symbol of the Sun. Hang ribbons on trees, decorate houses with grass, tree branches, flowers. Leave fruits, berries, bread, milk, honey at the doorstep. It was important to the ancestors what was happening in Nature, with the Sun and the Moon. They participated in all its processes and people's life was woven into them with their whole way of life. They communicated with the surrounding world, talked to it with words and deeds, customs and rituals. So that life was prosperous, because they understood man's dependence on Nature.

We have a different organization of life. But we have not ceased to be a part of Nature and we are also influenced by it. We need to communicate with it and receive life forces. If we realize that everything that is around us has a Spirit and there is a mutual influence between us and the surrounding, it is very easy to establish contact, even without knowing any special techniques and methods. You can simply talk, mentally or aloud, with the Sun, Moon, Nature. Tell about your problems, and the world will hear.

Spirit family is deeply important in growing a stronger core self. Your inner spirit family is a tribe you can count on to be there for you, to ask for guidance, help restore balance, and to merge with.

They are weaved within your soul's growth by subconscious invitation and are here to be of service now and beyond this mortal coil. When those in ordinary reality are unable to soothe, comfort us, listen or understand us due to conflict or otherwise, never underestimate the reliability and heart-soothing connection to your inner kin.

Healed elders are waiting to hold and nurture your inner child.
Spirit Animals are waiting to be of help, align you with safety and encourage your inner child to play.

Caretake your inner world by including and asking your inner kin for support.

Utroba Cave, Bulgaria. Cave in the Rhodope mountains, Bulgaria, carved by hand more than 3000 years ago (?), it was rediscovered in 2001. Archeologists hypothesize that an altar built at the end of the cave, which is about 22 m deep, represents either the cervix or the uterus.

Virtual Tour (360 photo) The Temple of Hathor or "Small Temple" was constructed during the reign of Ramesses II (c. 1279 - c. 1213 BCE). It was dedicated to the goddess Hathor and Queen Nefertari, Ramesses' favourite wife. The temple's hypostyle hall is supported by six pillars with the head of the goddess Hathor and decorated scenes with Ramesses II and Nefertari presenting offerings to different gods and the goddesses. Among the several scenes on the walls, we see Ramesses II, accompagnied by Nefertari, as he is about to kill a Nubian prisoner.

And hello to another cycle of a new year!

Let's be real, it's not going to get easier out there, but we know that, so it's important that we make it a little easier in here, inside our psyche.

Let's mindfully look for joy in moments of connecting with things or people that make us smile, do things just for ourselves that bring joy and when needed, take little inner flights from the sanctuary so one can move beyond the feelings of the heaviness of the collective overwhelm.

Think of how you might help to lighten your inner load and play around with them.

Make personal choices connected to joy, even if it's small.

Fill your inner cup with regular doses of lightness.
You deserve it.
We all do.

Blessings ✨

ALS JE EEN GENEZER ONTMOET...

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
houd er dan rekening mee
dat zij van stilte houdt,
net zoals zij van de nacht
en zijn eindeloze sterren houdt.

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
wees dan niet bang;
haar emoties zijn intens,
onvoorspelbaar en veranderlijk,
net als de maan waarvoor zij buigt.

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
begrijp haar dan niet,
hou gewoon van haar.
Zij kan de mysteries
van het universum begrijpen,
maar er zijn momenten
waarop zij zichzelf niet kan begrijpen.

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
bereid je dan voor,
je dagen worden magisch
en het alledaagse een avontuur.

Maak je geen zorgen
als je een genezer tegenkomt,
zij lacht om de drama's
en huilt met de bloemen.

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
houd er dan rekening mee
dat zij in je ogen
de schoonheid zal zien
waar je bang voor was.
Zij zal je kracht, je lijden
en al je dromen zien.

Als je een genezer tegenkomt,
blijf aan haar zijde
en geniet van de reis,
als je wakker wordt,
ben je niet meer dezelfde.

Coming to a Shaman, many people are waiting for some kind of "WOW", "surprise me" requires their ego.
But the Shaman teaches them Simplicity.
They crave spectacles, spiritual enjoyment, mystical illusions.
And the Shaman directs their gaze towards their inner imperfections, pride, selfishness, greed. They ask to have their desires fulfilled, their dreams come true. And the Shaman teaches them not to desire much, to be content with little, and to be grateful for it. They ask for help with this and that, to solve one problem and another, and a third... And the Shaman asks them, "What do you give to the world? What is the benefit of you? Does anyone owe you anything?!"

The discrepancy between a person's illusions and the real picture of the world order generates resentment, misunderstanding and irritation. These are exactly the emotions that arise in a person after a shaman works with him. Not the imaginary spiritual pleasure that the current system is massively immersing people in. This is how the subconscious works - as a result of spiritual work, all the “dirt” is pushed out.

And after purification, spiritual fulfillment, ecstasy, happiness can come. But now it is not illusory, but real.
