I have been a vegetarian since being a teenager and also vegan for some years. I had decided to stop eating meat when I saw my grandparents killing their farm animals for food and I knew, that I didn’t want to have my animal friends on a plate.
Miracles happen!
After a long time I am sitting at my desk again with the desire to share some of my incredible life changing experiences that I had over the last few months. So much has happened, it is difficult to decide where to start, I guess with the fact that a miracle happened in my life. Another one, but with an incredible impact.
Following a new journey in life
It needed five (!) to get the job done.
I would have never imagined to fully enjoy living in a beautiful, very quiet rural area one day, being surrounded only by singing birds, the rustling of trees and butterflies surrounding me all day. But it was not all serene and quiet.
Read more to find out about the learning lesson that followed these experiences.
Why did you have to leave me?
There are always two sides of a coin
Feeling gratitude
I have moved to Peru after having spent nearly 8 years in Bolivia, a place which leaves you breathless with its spectacular mountains of the Andes, thick jungle, desert, the biggest saltflats in Uyuni and lots of farmland. It is a very indigenous country and is still struggling to overcome its challenging history since the colonization by the Spaniards, followed by corrupt dictatorships, including racism and repression.
And one can strongly feel these marks in the energy of the towns, cities and in its people, who are more introverted, shy and at times even submissive (especially in the Andes). Nevertheless, something gripped my gut so strongly when I arrived with a heavy tonsillitis by bus the first time
Time to say good bye – Puppy Soul contracts II
In my last blog entry had written about one of the soul contracts that my puppies have been practicing with me over the last few weeks. But there is more I would love to share. Since the beginning, the idea of being a second mum to puppies has been challenging to me. Not that I didn´t love the idea, but I live in Peru, where animals are very often not seen and treated the way most (let me plainly say) Westerners do.
What about boundaries?
9 weeks have passed since our puppies had been born and it has been one of the most exciting and magical times in my life. It has been a completely new experience for me to have a pregnant dog at home, watching her belly grow, playing less, then changing her general attitudes and giving birth unexpectedly one evening on our sofa.
Find out how things evolved and what the puppies taught me.
Happy Equinox - Blessed in, with and through life.
A couple of days ago was, 22 September – date for the Equinox, the start of spring time here in South America. I can notice already the cold disappearing, which I am so grateful for. J When connecting to the Equinox´s energy I felt the desire to reflect on what happened the last three months and where it has taken me until today. The journey was quite unexpected, but I guess it is always that way, once we let go of a mind-chosen path. Believe it or not, but my journey has taken me back to life.
Will the hero return home?
I had been wanting to write for the last couple of weeks, but somehow words didn´t flow to express what is currently going on inside me and in my life. But before leaving for the long awaited trip to Colombia this morning, I want to write down, maybe even more for myself, of what has changed during the last couple of months inside me.
What are you DOING today?
Good morning on the second day of Elipse season. It is a shaky time for most of us, probably even all of us. Eclipses are times for change, shifting, healing and growing. And we never know in which direction of our inner and outer self it is heading.
So, I woke up and felt some energy for the first time in weeks, which allowed me to DO something.
What comes after freedom?
I have been diagnosed with three different kinds of parasites and a virus. As if one type of parasite wouldn´t be enough?! I have been living in South America for 8 years, I thought I had become pretty resistant to any dirty food or water. But at least I know now, why I feel so knocked out and in physical pain for weeks by now. And no medicine, neither alternative nor traditional helps so far.
Pachamama´s abundance
August is a very special month in the Andean world, it is time to give gratitude to our existence and all existence. It is time to honor and to connect to our inner selves and to all that is. Pachamama represents not only Mother Earth as many think, but Mama = mother and Pacha = time and space. So it is the totality of all, the cosmos, the here and now.
How did it affect me?
Can we love too much?
I am lying in bed with a strong flu and looking over to my growing family surrounding me, resting on the floor. For some people it might be strange to have their dogs living with them in their house, for me it has never been a question.
Anyways, I´d like to share with you that a few days ago I went out with friends for the day and left my dogs running happily and freely on our big property. When returning home I only found my two young dogs Lola and Chaska welcoming us, but not Killa and Inti
Ripe as an apple?
The wind is blowing strongly the last couple of days and I am observing the leaves flying in the wind, the air rushing vividly through the branches of our trees in the back garden. I am feeling very connected to them these days and wonder whether they are representing my inner landscape. It is Monday afternoon. Nobody arrived for my afternoon session on animal communication that I have advertised in different places.
Does spirituality have an age?
Just yesterday I had still been so connected and rooted in being, but it is crazy how quickly a storm can appear, that doesn´t let me fall asleep tonight. What caused it? A beautiful camp fire in the back garden surrounded by beautiful friends. They are wonderful and strong to me, and I meet more and more free spirits on my current life path: Young people, who are tired of a society system of control, narrow views of life, restricted freedom and who are looking for a deeper meaning in life: Why was I born? What is my purpose in life? How can I do my part so that the world will be a more peaceful, happier and cleaner place? It is amazing, so why doesn´t it let me sleep? Because I am impressed with the age of them, they are in their 20s and wake up already to change their way of living.
And I suddenly did something, that one shouldn´t do.
Searching, but what for? – Part II
Searching - but what for?
Searching - but what for?
It is the first time in about 7 weeks that I am sitting in front of my computer with the intention of sharing some thoughts publically again. It feels scary and strange as I have been going through a very profound physical, mental and emotional process since my move to Peru last December, which had been much more intensified during and after my soul level animal communication retreat with horses in May in Costa Rica.
