About this blog


This blog is about practices and perspectives that may expand awareness and increase ability to connect with, and be guided by, aliveness. My theoretical focus is ethics, philosophy, spirituality and depth psychology. I have a ph.d. in ethics (Den gode profesjonelle : profesjonsetikk for advokater og barnevernsarbeidere (uio.no) and my professional work is within higher education and research. I am interested in embodied practices which cultivate presence and mindfulness, like meditation and yoga, I am a certified facilitator of group-meditation (Transformational Connection) and certified Relateful Coach, working at Connect. Grow. Thrive. (relateful.com), and a student of energywork and Rosen Method Bodywork Rosen Method School | Rosen Method: The Berkeley Center. In these practices we are guided by what brings more aliveness - by what gives more space for the authentic expression in the present moment. Aliveness in this context is understood as a break with habitual and limiting patterns of thinking, feeling and action – so being guided by aliveness is to get access to more agency, flow and freedom in life.    

To contribute to processes towards more aliveness, awareness and connection to truth in the lives of others, I offer online sessions of intuitive coaching tailored to the client`s unique context and wishes for exploration. The coaching departures from a combination of modalities from Rosen method bodywork, Relateful meditation facilitation, Relateful coaching, energy work and perspectives from this blog, with my professional competence with ethics and strategical work within higher education and research.

Living bones and the voices of the dead – exploring the unlived life of the ancestors

Image
  Black books, the diaries of Carl Jung, were published in 2021. In a significant scene in the Black books 4, Carl Jung encounters the dead, who have a message for him. One of the dead, Ezekiel, tells Jung that the dead are going on pilgrimage to all the holy places because they have no peace, although they died in true belief. Why is that, Jung asks, and Ezekiel says: “It always seems to me as if we had not come to a proper end with life. (…) It seems that we forgot something important that should also have been lived.” In the further dialogue it becomes clear that the dead don’t know what their unlived life is, but Jung points to suppression of the animal side as one possibility. (Black books 4 p. 208).   What is the animal side? I n the article “Encounters with the animal soul. A voice of hope for our precarious world” N. Furlotti points to different jungian aspects of the animal side: The ‘pleasure of the forest’, the pagan which resides outside the split of good and ev...

The creativity of the unknown

Image
  In the mystical traditions of the great religions there is an emphasis on the dimensions in reality which are not known to us. Often these are described as nothingness or emptiness, layers in consciousness which are outside of time and space, limitless and eternal. To a mystic there is a possibility in life to  access an immediate awareness of this nothingness.  What does that mean, how may this experience be described? Conceptually it is hard to convey because nothingness points to the layers in consciousness which are unfolding and ungraspable, that which is not yet here, that which is becoming. It is like a space of potential from where the forms of reality are being created in an eternal dance.  Nothingness is the unknown, so the conventional categories of good or bad, normal or not normal, are not operating. Even the stable identity you have, the person you thought all your life you were, falls away. Only nothingness or the infinite remains. Its like an oblivi...

The longing for our potential

Image
  Is there an unclear longing in you, a drive towards something unknown, a whispering in your inner world which is hard to comprehend but feels deeply significant? Is there a feeling of something hidden inside of you which wants to become visible? Do you feel you have something you need to express and manifest in the world, but you are not quite sure how yet? In his famous book The Souls code: In search of character and calling the jungian thinker James Hillman describes this as our unique image or pattern, which we are born with and are here to express and give shape. He calls it the acorn-theory: like an oak starts as a potential - an acorn, every person has a uniqueness that asks to be lived, a calling which is already present before it can be lived. And every person has a soul-companion, a daimon, which is reminding you of your calling and helping you to align your life with the calling. The calling and daimon is something transcendent, beyond time and space. So the work o...
