The challenge here is to consciously choose the path of divine flow. 

I am not talking about 

following the divine flow of signs and symbols,

of making conscious decisions,

of will and determination.

No. To consciously choose the path of the divine flow involves all of the above. It is an awareness of your own journey, path, teachings and all the while being in complete surrender to life’s mysterious unfolding. 

I am currently finding myself tangled in this awareness. For my entire life, I’ve done one or the other, or at the most two at the same time. And what a joy it is to live and follow nothing but the flow. But then, it stops. Reality hits and there is work to do on this path too. 

Many people try to escape by then, turn around, look for another path that leads them to the flow and then. Stop. 

There is always work to do, lessons to be learned and depth to be explored. 

For the past years, I have worked with establishing joy and flow in all kinds of work. Find every moment to be a journey, something to learn from, everyday life to be ceremony. I have also been teaching this. To find joy and flow in everyday life and mundane tasks like doing the dishes- simply with gratitude- which is now part of the core in Yoga Mamas’ teachings. 

Nevertheless, there is another layer which I am exploring now. 

Adapting the measure of each part in the blend, like I’d do in any herbal tea blend for instance. Trying out what works now, is there a perfect combination or is the perfect combination that it needs to be adaptable?

Every path is a journey

My blog has always been about the journey. When I first started writing, about a decade ago, it was solely about my travels in the world. Later it evolved to include travels within and without- travels of all worlds. And as of lately, I have delivered energy forecasts to you twice a month. It has been fun! 

And it is still all about the journey. My own practice. My teachings. The energy forecasts have much been about my own practice too. And then it stopped. 

I reached a climax with energy forecasts on video and knew as soon as I started that road that it wouldn't be long. I knew I was coming to the end of the path on this journey. 

During summer, I have had a long rest from writing blog posts. I’ve been meditating on whether this could continue or not. And, if so, how. As we are now entering the New Moon in Virgo, structure and order want to take shape. Organizing work tasks. And so, I’ve decided to continue the journey but let the path pivot a bit. 

Funny, I’ve studied and worked with internet writing, seo, communications and organizing these for a long time now. But the guidelines I’ve put up, and others’ I’ve followed along the way won’t work here. Ha! When working with a brand, yes. But this blog is sharing my own stories and I let you see what is being created, I let you follow my journey. 

Because By Magie is a creative hub of communications. 

Yet, I too need structure. To create form out of the divine flow, there needs to be structure. A combination of conscious decisions, willpower and complete trust in the divine. 

And, I just have to find and create my own framework. 

What do you choose?

2020 has brought a pile of situations, relations and paths to a stop. (And no, it is not a pause.) I feel deep gratitude for the reflection time this year has come with, and also the halt. Finishing things off, now is a good time. 

For some years now, my practice on the mat hasn’t continued. I live an Ayurvedic lifestyle, following the shamanic path and I see how my shamanic tradition takes up more and more space in my everyday life. There is not much room for yoga asana anymore because I need my body to work physically in my other practices. 

This blog will not contain yoga anymore. I will continue to write about yoga and ayurveda for Yoga Mamas, for those who are interested head over there to subscribe. 

As for the forecasts, what can I tell you- being with me is about reading the signs. 

This blog is about my practice and journey and I will continue to share insights, reflections and perspectives from my shamanic tradition. 

Interestingly, for the past 3 years I’ve had a deeply intense practice. And, I haven’t shared much of it with you. Honestly, I’ve been exhausted. 

My boy Orion arrived 4 years ago now, in October 2016. 

About 7 months later, we started Yoga Mamas together. And so I was on a path of creating a whole new business, from nothing, completely alone (yeah, my friends left). 

In July 2017, we found and bought our land. It contained...buildings…. After a year of cleaning, clearing and cleansing, we started the construction work. 

In summer 2019, we figured we need to live on-site to speed things up a little. Thus, we moved to the land and lived in a tent for nearly 5 months with no shower but only an outdoor toilet and an outdoor kitchen. 

We are still building our home. (But we live indoors now).

That’s just a quick recap for you! 

So what I choose to continue with on this path is to share more of my practice with you. Of how I apply my shamanic practices, tools and wisdom in life’s learning. Of how me and my family are trying to create the life we imagined. 

Don’t ask me how we ended up in Sweden, it surely has something to do with following the divine flow without conscious decisions nor a plan!

Every moment is a story

What do you choose?

I’m getting closer. 

How about you?

In gratitude,
