In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling that her body is her enemy, and how this is stopping her from living a life. It’s also stopping her from stepping into service to the world, as she is unable to tap into her full power.
Through our linguistic part of the session, we start to see how this is a pattern of a deeper conflict between the mind and the body, the masculine and the feminine.
In my tracking, I can see how this energy is linked with how the feminine has been trapped in layers of abuse, suppression and violation from the masculine, from patriarchy.
Through our shamanic healing journey, she begins to release this, to shed this, so she instead can embrace the power and light of the feminine – which in this session appears as a similar energy as the Valkyries from the Norse tradition.
This episode was recorded as a demo on the Shamanic Energy Medicine training, so you are going to hear how we are very embodied as we move through the shamanic healing (the students then later practice this type of shamanic healing with each other).
I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us, as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too.
In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling attacked, where she gets the blame although she hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s as if she’s being persecuted.
Now, an energy within her is beginning to rise, telling her that this is no longer acceptable. This is the energy of the feminine, and it’s longing to RISE within her.
In my tracking, I begin to witness how this problem energy is affecting her in the mythical landscape of her soul. It’s an energy that’s revealing the deep wounds in both her inner masculine and feminine, and we are being taken on a very magical journey, where she moves through a deep transformation and healing.
In the end, her inner feminine transforms into a giantess, and her inner masculine becomes a giant. So, as she continues on her path through life, following her heart, she now walks with two giants beside her (plus her whole Spirit Team).

In this episode in our shamanic healing series, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling really tired, and with a heavy sadness in her heart, causing her heart to contract.
She’s terrified of walking her path - the path where she’s helping others in a deep way - but in order for her to walk this path, she has to wake up to the truth of who she truly is.
In my tracking (which this time is of the Tree of Life), I can witness how she’s buried aspects of her soul’s light in her roots on the left (feminine), and how she needs to WAKE HER UP!
As she moves through the shamanic healing journey, she awakens her feminine power and ancient wisdom, and she also begins to realise the Mighty Beings that are walking beside her.

In this episode you’ll meet a lovely lady, who's longing to follow the path of feminine magic, but she feels her mind is stopping her. It’s as if something is holding her back.
Through the linguistic part of our session, she discovers that she has a deep fear of stepping into her feminine magic, because she fears how it can be misused, and to protect the purity of this magic, she’s buried it deep within.
As I track what's going on in the mythical landscape of her soul, I can witness how there’s an energy holding her in a tight grip, preventing her from moving on to the path of her Highest Destiny - which is the path of feminine magic! It’s so clear that this is what her soul really longs for her to step into.
I can see the steps we're meant to journey through so she can meet the Ancient Loving Witch from her own ancestral lineage - a Loving Witch of Magic who holds the medicine, light and love that she’s now meant to embody again.
We then set off on our shamanic journey together, where she begins to realise that it’s now safe for her to awaken this powerful, ancient feminine magic within her, so she can create more light and goodness in the world.
I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us, as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too.
In this episode you'll meet a lovely lady, who’s feeling trapped and really stuck - as if she can’t move forward in life. She’s frustrated, and at times she feels helpless and totally drained of energy.
Through the linguistic part of the session, she discovers how this is like an old story that’s been passed down to her. She begins to see the threads of this old story that are now poisoning her, and also the positive threads she wants to weave into the new story of her life - threads she's now choosing.
As I track her, I can see how she’s being held in a bind - a really strong one - and as we go on this shamanic journey together, she begins to release this, so she instead can embrace the medicine that's waiting for her. She also moves through a soul retrieval, where she gets her soul’s light, magic and voice back.
I recommend that you listen to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us, as this healing session may also bring up things that you may want to witness and transform and heal within you - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal too.
In this episode, you'll meet a lovely lady who's feeling pretty stuck in a dark place, and disconnected from her loved ones.
Through the initial linguistic part of our session, she starts to discover what it is that she needs to connect with in order for her to shift, transform, and heal this.
I then track the problem energy, where I discover how this energy is holding her in a bind, and I also track the steps we need to journey through in order for her to heal this.
I recommend listening to this episode with your eyes closed, being totally present, so you allow yourself to go on a journey with us, as this healing session may also bring up things that you might want to witness and transform and heal - and as you journey with us, you begin to heal this within you too.
In this episode I'm sharing why we structure a Shamanic Healing Session into four parts - questioning, tracking, shamanic healing and mythic mapping.
The questioning part of the session is to help the client find more clarity in their mind.
The tracking part of the session is for the shamanic practitioner to find more clarity in what is going in the mythical landscape of the soul of her client
The shamanic healing part of the session is when the practitioner guides the client into her body, into the domain of her soul and the feminine.
The mythic mapping part of the session is when the client now can weave a new map for her future, a map that marries the mind & soul, masculine & feminine.
In this episode in our Shamanic Healing Series you’ll meet a lovely lady who’s feeling dizzy, and disconnected from life. As we dive deeper, we discover that she has a fear of stepping into her light, and how this fear is linked with an old wound held in her ancestral lineage, going all the way back to the witch trials.
In this particular session, we're just using healing linguistics, so there’s no shamanic healing.
I'm sharing it here on the podcast as it shows how, by getting us to question what is actually happening within us, by getting us to witness what it is that our body is trying to communicate with us, we can start to tap into the medicine that will help us heal.
I recommend you listen to the episode with your eyes closed, so you can come with us on this journey as we discover the medicine she needs so she can stop hiding in the shadows and instead step into the light.
Welcome to this new Shamanic Healing Series, where I’ll be guiding you into the amazing and magical world of shamanic healing.
Some sessions will just be using shamanic healing linguistics in order to guide someone from a stuck place to finding her own inner resources and medicine, so she has more choices available to her.
And in other sessions I’ll first be using linguistics, and then I'll track the energetic component of the problem energy and how it's holding the client.
After that I’ll guide her into the shamanic healing part of the session where we together journey into the mythical landscape of her soul.
I hope that this Shamanic Healing series will inspire you to really feel the power, magic and wisdom that’s available for each and every one of us when we start to make this journey into the domain of our body and soul, where all the medicine and resources we need are available to us.
Meet the Norse Goddess Saga - the goddess who can see into the future by tracking the strands of what is coming.
In Swedish her name means 'story, so Saga can also help us become free of our old stories, so we instead can weave new stories into being, by becoming more conscious of the energy we infuse into our thoughts, words and actions.
The shamanic journey is pretty hard-hitting and will absolutely help you shift your focus - from fear to love, and from doubt to trust - so you can weave a new story into being.

Release the old you, so the new you can be reborn 💛
We're in a very powerful rebirth portal right now, and this healing and restorative shamanic journey with the Norse Goddess Freya is then perfect to do, as it fills you up with so much light, that it's easier to have the energy needed to move through this rebirth.
Freya embodies the golden light of the feminine found in your ancestral lineage. For you, she may of course manifest as Freya, but she might also show up as Brigid, or Mary Magdalene, or in whichever way this radiant, magical, golden feminine energy appears to you.
This deeply healing journey allows you to shed the old you, so the new you can be reborn. At the end, you’ll spend a few minutes writing a letter to yourself, from this golden light of the feminine, which is found within your heart (and in your core).
Trust this golden light of the feminine to be the midwife, guiding you through this rebirth 💛
Dear Divine Mothers
Thank you for guiding me, holding me, supporting me, and awakening me, to the truth of who I am.
The truth that I’m a daughter of the universe, a shining star in an earthly body, a miracle of love in human form, with an ancient wisdom living inside my bones, coursing through my veins – the ancient wisdom and magic of the Wise Woman, who’s meant to rise once more.
And as she rises within me, I can feel her guiding me, showing me how I can weave more light and love and wisdom and feminine magic into our world, so I can help to birth a new consciousness into being.
And so it is. And so it is. And so it is.
Blessed be. Blessed be. Blessed be.
This is a very powerful prayer to the Divine Mothers of Darkness and Light, which moves you through your own rebirth, awakening an ancient wisdom that lives inside of you.
You'll surrender to the Divine Mothers all that which you are meant to let go of, so you can let the Wise Woman within you RISE once more, helping to birth a new consciousness into being.
This prayer emerged through me when I was sitting in Chalice Well Gardens in Glastonbury, the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and I could feel Her presence within me.
Meet the amazing Seren Bertrand, who’s an award-winning author on feminine magic and wisdom. She’s written ‘Spirit Weaver: Wisdom Teachings from the Feminine Path of Magic’, ‘Womb Awakening’ and ‘Magdalene Mysteries’.
In this interview she shares teachings from the path of Feminine Magic, such as the difference between Grief and Trauma, what it means that Feminine Magic is gated, and why wisdom always comes with a price.
She also takes you on a magical journey where you start to connect more deeply with the feminine wisdom found in your roots.
In this gentle, healing and cleansing shamanic journey you’ll meet the Dark Mother and her daughters, the Dark Goddesses.
You’ll also connect with the Tree of Life, and with the sacred wells of Glastonbury; the White Spring, which is the sacred well of the Divine Masculine; the Red Spring which is the sacred well of the Divine Feminine, and the Dark Well, which is the sacred well of the Dark Mother, so you can come home to her love for you.
At the end of the journey you’ll receive messages from the Divine Mother on how you may serve the Divine Feminine, so you can share Her healing wisdom with others.
This is a deeply healing journey that was born on one of the Glastonbury shamanic trainings, when we were in the underground chapel of the Black Madonna.
The energy there is AMAZING - and I could feel her come through so strongly also when I recorded this journey for you.
Please use your breath, your hands and your body to help you release heavy energies - and feel how you move the energy into the 'fire' - the divine fire of the Black Madonna.
Enjoy going on a deeply healing journey with the loving and compassionate Black Madonna.
Meet Freya, the Norse goddess of healing, magic, wisdom, love, fertility, war, death and rebirth. She will take you on a very healing journey where you start to awaken your inner magic.
Freya has sometimes been called the Queen of Witches and the Queen of the Valkyries – and she represents the wild feminine presence within our core, the golden light of our feminine magic and wisdom.
Freya is a teacher of Seidr - a very powerful form of Norse magic and shamanic healing, which was practised by völvas (female shamanic priestesses in the Norse tradition), and Freya was their teacher. They are called völvas because they had a staff – völva means staff carrier – and this staff is a representation of the Tree of Life, which helps us journey into the different domains of reality.
In this episode I first go through a talk about Freya, which will give you the map for our shamanic journey (so make sure you listen to this talk first).
And then, in our shamanic journey, you’ll step onboard Freya’s ship, Sessrumnir, and she’ll journey with you into the World of Spirit, helping you to connect with your inner feminine light, magic and wisdom.
On this very healing shamanic journey you'll first cleanse and heal your roots, so you can strengthen your connection with your Ancient Mother.
You'll then journey to the sacred womb of the Dark Mother, where you'll go through a deep healing process, extracting and releasing from you that which is no longer serving you.
You'll receive the medicine from the Dark Mothers (Norse goddess Hel, the Celtic goddess Cerridwen and others who are working with you) drinking from their magical cauldron. They also initiate you into their teachings for you.
You'll also meet the Light Mothers, solar goddesses, such as Freya, Idun, Brigid and Isis, who will give you their medicine for you, and initiate you into the path you’ll be walking as you follow their guidance, their love, their wisdom.
This episode is from a recent journey I did with my shamanic energy medicine students, where you meet the Norse Dark Goddess Ran.
Ran will guide you on a very healing journey, and she also takes you through a soul retrieval process, where you connect with the light-filled essence of who you truly are.
You will also meet the Norse Dark Goddess Hel, who helps you to become more whole, as she is a portal of life, death and rebirth.
You’ll also meet the Norse goddess Freya, who is a powerful healer, witch, high priestess and the First Völva, which is a female shaman in the Norse tradition. Freya represents the light in our soul – so she is the essence of our light-filled magic, feminine wisdom and power.
This shamanic journey guides you deep into the mythical landscape of your soul - and it is perfect to do now as we journey into the cauldron of the sacred darkness of Samhain.
In this journey you'll meet the Norse Dark Goddess Hel, and Her Sisters, the other Dark Goddesses, such as Cerridwen, Hecate, Persephone, Kali, Isis and the Black Madonna.
They will help you step into your power, your truth, and your light, so you can awaken the ancient wisdom that is in your bones - the wisdom of the wise woman - so you can let her healing medicine be expressed through you, and out into the world.
Hel is an awesome goddess - and her name, in Swedish, means 'heal', 'whole' and 'holy' (helig). She is a portal of death and rebirth, and an amazing healer. TRUST HER!
This shamanic journey with Hel is perfect to do now during Samhain, where we enter the cauldron of the sacred darkness.
This is a very powerful shamanic journey where you awaken the kundalini goddess energy within you.
The very first time I met this powerful kundalini energy in a shamanic journey it took me by surprise. Before that I thought it was just a concept, but from this experience I realised that she truly exists, as a metaphor in the mythical and energetic domain of my soul and spirit.
She helped me restore my life energy, freeing me from the old ways where I had allowed myself to constantly give my energy away.
In this journey you'll first shed the past, and then you'll meet this powerful divine feminine energy so she can rise within you, connecting you with this ancient healing wisdom that is longing to be awakened within you.
