A GOLDEN JOURNEY OF DREAMS AND YOGA

I am so happy you have found your way here. It is always a soul honor to connect with yogis, readers, and dreamers.

I’ve always been fascinated by my dreams. How about you?

Already as a young child, I paid close attention to my dreams. I even built myself a little “dream library” in my room (which wasn’t an easy task, growing up in a small town in Sweden!). My love for dreams has only blossomed over the years.

Dreams help us detox impressions

Our dreams help us process emotions – and wonderfully detoxify our mind from impressions that would otherwise cause emotional blockages and weigh us down.

Dreams help us on our path of soul growth

Dreams help us reconnect with our soul’s home, and gift us with insights, messages, and illuminating guidance. Some dreams may even invite us to visit another realm all together. Honoring our inner soul connection is the greatest gift we can give ourselves.

Dreams and Yoga - the Golden Path of the Soul

What is Yoga?

Yoga is so much more than the physical practice we may be accustomed to in the West. Yoga means union on a higher level – union of mind, body, and soul, and traditional yoga teachings comprise eight limbs of yoga. The part of physical asanas is only on of the eight limbs.

Svadhyaya clears the way!

I began my yogic journey with practicing Svadhyaya (sacred studies and self-inquiry) along with a daily meditation practice. Self-study through reflection, dream work, and meditative practice helps us developer deeper insights about who we really are – which is a wonderful step on the path of authentic soul growth.

Mauna is golden

In 2007 I gave my soul a gift. I took a month off from my corporate job, packed my bags, and headed to a small ashram in Southern India. I spent my time meditating from morning to night, and also practiced mauna – a Sanskrit term for living in silence. By removing external interference, Mauna helps us heal from stress and emotional reactions, by creating the room needed to experience deep inner peace. You can read more about this journey in my memoir, The Dream Alchemist.

Ever since my spiritual trip, my love for soul connection and higher awareness has just kept on growing. After later becoming a teacher of yoga, I began to develop a whole new appreciation for the physical component of yoga.

How do the asanas in yoga help us?

The asanas of yoga open up the energy flow, and have physical, mental, and spiritual benefits. Yoga asanas help prepare us for even deeper meditation experiences, and ultimately help prepare us on our path towards Samadhi, the ultimate blissful state of spiritual, connected consciousness.

How does dream work relate to Yoga?

Dream work helps us observe and practice the first two limbs of yoga, the Yamas and Niyamas. These steps become easier to master when we awaken each morning with a compassionate soul connection. Ultimately dreams help us reach even more advanced levels on the eight limbs of yoga, by lovingly preparing us for higher spiritual states.

Are you ready to flow and grow?

I love connecting with dreamers, yoginis, and soul explorers through my books, private sessions, classes, workshops, and courses.

I offer private dream and life coaching sesisons, and also teach Meditation, Restorative Yoga Classes, Yoga Nidra, as well as Vinyasa and Hatha Yoga classes, and a range of soul-enriching workshops and courses.

"That's of course why I had the dream prior to this trip. I'm faced with a test to see if I can fully experience where I am, and fully trust I'm safe even in extreme uncertainty, no matter what happens."

Words have the power to inspire us on a deep soul level. I’m a devoted writer at heart, and think of writing as a beloved form of art. To me, writing is a process of entering a loving state of creative clarity.
