9

I sat on the throne that all of our graduates had sat on when they were sharing what they were graduating from - because this course - Journey through the chakras has been a journey through all the energy centres and all the “intelligence” these centres have. Including their demons such as fear, guilt, shame and more.. Demons made in the past, made by the past, made by life, childhood, teenage hood, cultural, social or religious conditionings. And each and every one of them graduated from a different lesson their own body gave them during this course.

I sat there and my students asked me the question too : what are YOU graduating from?

And I just suddenly felt it.

It was a physical feeling, so clear inside of me.

I am graduating from a chapter that lasted 9 years.

Ever since I came to Iceland, 9 years ago, I have done exactly what I came here to do: to live my dreams, my vision, my passion. To teach Yoga the way I had known it inside of my system.

To test and prove to myself that is possible to do what you have passion for, regardless of what others say. You just need a passion, a clear vision and dedication. Course after course, class after class, workshop after workshop in Yoga… and my own studies and development has led me on a path I still can’t even fully comprehend…. (soooo grateful for it!!)

So I sat there, all these images running in front of my eyes from the beginning to now. And I felt so fulfilled. It felt like the end and the beginning.

I have lived all of my dreams and I can start dreaming anew.

And of course the course after 9 year of teaching in Iceland was about Chakras.

Chakras were the first thing I learned about in Yoga. Except… back then I didn’t know they were part of the Yogic and Tantric system. I didn't know what Yoga was or that it existed. I was only 9 years old and learned about Chakras by accident… I got a book for Christmas and my parents thought it was about stones because I was collecting them… well, stones were in the book too but only in context to Chakras :).

I started doing the meditations and visualisations mentioned in the book and some of them I still remember because I have been using them ever since - they helped me with anxiety through really tough times in childhood and teenage hood. Again, I didn’t know they were meditations. I didn’t know what meditation was. I also didn’t know what was anxiety. All of these were non-existing terms in my past.

And now… here I am, on a throne, just finishing a 50hr long course about Chakras.

Feeling so fulfilled. - I was gonna write feeling full but the opposite was true. Feeling fulfilled and empty. Empty and clean. Perfect internal environment for starting to create new dreams. The ones I had lined up over the years have finished yesterday.

This is a feeling I want to remember, that’s why I’m writing it down. This is also something I want to share because why not.

There was a time I used to things just because I could.

“Because I can” was a line I got to thanks to another story.

But that’s a story for another time.
