“In many shamanic societies, if you came to a medicine person complaining of being disheartened, dispirited, or depressed, they would ask one of the four questions: When did you stop dancing? When did you stop singing? When did you stop enchanted stories? When did you stop finding comfort in the sweet territory of silence?” Gabriela Roth
This quote reminds me how important these creative ways of receiving and expressing life are for human kind and how far away modern society is from these values. It’s such an important part of my life to feel this creative energy. It`s often been my access to sense that we are so much more than what we think we are.
The magic of imagination
Rediscovering the magic and power of imagination, I started to paint again. The visualizations that I materialized by painting them support me and others. If we train ourselves to image life as we would like to receive it, it’s a great empowerment to take steps to realize what we are dreaming of. Even if in the end the form of appearance is different from what we imagined it to be.

The magic of sound
Sound can reach my heart directly and let feelings flow that got stuck on their way through. Making sound feels like permitting all of my being to exist in this world.
I enjoy writing songs. It’s a way for me to get conscious of my inner movements and insights. Musical poetry in a way makes it easier to face my challenges and integrate moments of joy in my life. Giving expression to my inner world makes life feel lighter.
