I'll talk in English from here, because my Norwegian isn't very well I'm afraid
My name is Pauline, I'm 34 years old and I live in The Netherlands. In the past 9 years I have begun exploring the "other world" and I started by reading about wicca. After a lot of exploring, mostly by reading and sometimes by visiting a workshop or spiritual fair I found my way to Reiki. Last year I did Reiki I and II and my life has been turned completely upside down ever since. A few years ago I started with a short course in trance journeys and the woman leading the course also leads sweatlodges. In that year I did about 5 sweatlodges and they helped me in opening up and letting go of old negative patterns, feelings and behaviour. Shamanism started to interest my and still is my main focus together with Reiki and boy, they do combine very well!
Last year in january I met the man who is now my fiance. We met through the internet and are now planning to move to a bigger house and get married
He's also interested in all kinds of spiritual things, already has Reiki I and wants to learn more about shamanism.In the past year a lot has happened and I wasn't very active (or so it seemed on the outside) with Reiki and shamanism. I had a burn out and I'm only now starting to regain some energy. Lots of lessons to learn
The past few weeks shamanism started to knock on the door again, wanting some attention. I found some courses I want to do next year and find power animals wanting my attention and make their presence known. Of course they haven't really been away, but I wasn't able to make contact myself while I was burn out. I feel it's time to work with them more actively now and I'm ready to explore more.I only know a few Norwegian words, but luckily quite a few words are similar to their translation in Dutch. I'll try to read and hope to share experience with all of the people here.
