Shamanic art

Eagle

In 2019, I landed in the hospital due to life-threatening complications of minor surgery. It took me almost 4 months to recover. The good news is: My stay in the hospital was a spiritual journey. I began having shamanic. encounters where I would enter a deep meditativehrough time, and shift dimensions. I remember being able to do that as a child. A reawakening of a lost connection. I was always interested in shamanism, and this felt like a calling. I decided to get an education, and 2 years later, I became a certified shamanic practitioner. Whenever I need a higher perspective, I call upon the eagle. 

Seagull

Having experienced many struggles in life, I am a frequent guest in the hotel called Dark Night of the Soul. These experiences brought me to the depths of the ocean over and over again, where I connect with my soul. For children and adolescents, the darkness and silence of the inner ocean are frightening and hard to navigate by themselves. But there is wisdom in this vast, dark, still space. Today I can humbly and gratefully say: I am an expert, and I am not afraid anymore—even more so, it is the place I go to reflect and resign from all the chatter. Instead of riding the superficial waves as a continuous bumpy road, I retire to connect with my inner wisdom and enjoy the stillness away from a burning world. I am at my best in the eye of the storm. Seagull invites us to be carefree. 

Owl

Within us, we possess the genes of our ancestors. Aside from the physical information these genes may carry, they also contain the scripts and patterns of our past, many of them unresolved, and many invoke themes of family karma. By raising our awareness of those themes, we can set ourselves and our family’s free from intergenerational trauma and burdens. 

In every family, someone carries the epitome of the burdens of all 4 ancestral lines intertwined. It is my body that lives, feels and processes the unhealed pains of my ancestors, like pushing gallstones through the urinal tract one by one. Owls navigate through the darkness and lead us to transformation. 

Raven

This raven has the eye of a chameleon. Ravens are seen as intermediaries between the material and spirit worlds. Chameleon teaches us to see things from a variety of perspectives. What I've learned over time from my journeys guided by spirit animals is that there is no right path that we're being called to. It is about the experience of being fully present with what is in every moment. That’s our destiny: to do what our soul is calling for. Whether having a marvellous adventure or going into the most profound shadow states, we're experiencing something significant. With that experience, we can inspire others.
