Because .... Why not?

On a Monday, August 27 in 2007, I wrote my first blogpost. Själaglad Blogg was born. "Why should one blog?" was the title. 

"Why not?" I asked myself. I like to try new things and to express myself with words, and I think it is nice to have others reading and commenting what I write. So I started a new journey of sharing my thoughts and my daily life with friends and people I didn't know.

I wrote because I needed a place to write from my heart. I was moving towards a divorce. 

I wrote because I needed clarity. I wrote because it was a way to share what was going on in my family's life, to answer all the questions from friends and relatives.

I wrote because I am a writer and I write to heal, to understand, to communicate, to share wisdom, to express my thoughts and feelings, to inspire, to leave things behind, to let go, to move forward, to break through, and sometimes just because I can and I want to, and it can be fun. 

I write mostly because ... Why not?

Ten years ago I left my marriage. 

Ten years ago I took a leap of faith into an unknown future with God.

Ten years ago my words on this blog was all about me and my family. 

Eleven years ago I hit my own daughter after an awful argument in our house.

Eleven years ago God came to my rescue.

Eleven years ago I started to draw pictures with God when I was lost and didn't know what to do.

It is time to move out from Själaglad (Happy in Spirit). She has been like a home. A safe (trygg) place for me to be vulnerable and authentic. To be me. 

I have a new home now with less words and more pictures. To ways to communicate. To tender ways to say "this is me". To languages. My mother tongue and my Father's language. I need that to be free to be me. 

Welcome to my new home: www.enbok.se 

Please feel free to love what you see. Just click on the little heart. That is how you can comment and appreciate my work without words. And share it with the world if you want to.

I believe in the power of the spoken and written word. I believe in sharing our personal stories with each other. I believe in having a safe place to be vulnerable and authentic. I believe in "We are one body". So I invite others to do what I have done for ten years. To write a blogpost and share with the world. Welcome over to a global blog where you can find a new post every Saturday, sometimes in English and sometimes in Swedish. Maybe sometimes in pictures, videos and audios. Who knows, but God?

Welcome to the new beginning of a Global blog:  www.healmyvoicesweden.com

I am moving. Leaving the old life behind. Embracing the new life with Christ. Now there is only one thing left to do: Praying for ease and grace.

Love,
Marie

A Woman’s Voice: Listen

“If she got really quiet and listened, new parts of her wanted to speak.” ~ SARK, Succulent Wild Woman

For four weeks, I have been alone while house sitting in Seattle. I am in a beautiful location with two adorable kitties and I am resting and contemplating the next steps in my personal and professional life. Some days my mind is grasping for answers to do or be something, to push the river so I can set goals to make something happen now. Design a new program. Write a book. Promote my coaching business. On those, “push the river days”, I want to see the whole plan for 2018. I judge myself for not knowing the next steps. I want my schedule all laid out in a series of calendars on the wall. I want to set goals and decide with my mind. I feel agitated and impatient.

On other days, I surrender and stay focused in the present moment. In meditation, I ask God to show me my mission for today. I ask for insight and guidance and I take baby steps all day. A coaching call on Zoom. Attend a yoga class. Sip a hot cup of coffee and daydream while watching birds flying in nature. Cook delicious food for my body. Slow down to eat it. Facetime with one of my three adult daughters and my young granddaughter. I sit in silence with patience and I wait.
This is not the first time I have been guided to “wait”. In 2010, I spent a year writing and listening and daydreaming and studying. After a year of writing 70 articles, hosting a series of 44 radio shows on Transforming Grief, the answers came when I heard the words Heal My Voice. I started a non-profit, designed a program, enrolled twenty women in the first nine-month program and the rest is history.

It’s been seven years since I heard the words Heal My Voice on a daydreaming with God walk in nature. Seven years. 10 community circles with 10 books filled with 200 rich, powerful stories of trauma, loss, grief, awakening and triumph written by women around the world. Women who had the courage to immerse themselves in vulnerability, personal power, and hope.
After seven years, the doors to the 9-month program are closed. The ending was all beautifully orchestrated by Divine Intelligence, by God and now I wait for my next assignment, my next heart calling.
If you find yourself in a place of ending with no clear beginning, here are a few key practices:

1. Daydream: Give yourself time to wander. Look out the window at nature. Contemplate a tree. A bird. The sky. Be quiet and listen.
2. Notice: Carry a small notebook with you and write a few words when something crosses your path or gets your attention. A song, a conversation, a billboard, or seeing an old friend. Become a detective and write things in your notebook without needing to figure out the clues for now.
3. Be empty: Keep open space on your calendar
4. Ground yourself: Put a few things on the calendar. Yoga class. Grocery store. Write in a coffee shop. Dinner with a friend.
5. Do something creative. Write, draw, make music, cook. Awaken your creative self.
6. Take inspired action. A nap. A walk. A call to a colleague.
7. Be gentle with yourself. Practice self-care and self-love
8. Enjoy the process

Listen to your heart and wait…

Why do I dance, by Jeannie Dougherty

Why do I dance?
6 years ago I learned conscious or embodied dancing after I had trained in ballet and modern dance. When I moved to a new community I didn’t really know anyone and attending coed barefoot dance classes seemed like a fun idea. There was a community in place to meet new and fun characters that could keep me laughing.

Not long after I had moved I learned that my mother was given the fatal diagnosis of Alzheimer's. I realized while practicing two separate dance arts Biodanza and 5Rhythms I was starting to wake-up in my body. I could feel rhythm everywhere!

Biodanza, in my opinion, is a methodology of slowing down, connecting with others, and then transcending into the divine. 5 Rhythms, in my opinion, is a methodology of connecting to your body and the elements of nature in a wave like fashion, in order to transcend into the cosmos. They are both amazing and transformative practices and I have made life long friends in both communities.

What a lot of people don't know about me as I have buried both of my parents because of Alzheimer's. Upon seeing and knowing my mother’s disease began to take her away from me I knew needed to be supported. I knew from seeing and not knowing what this disease could do when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s I had to prepare myself and grieve. I went to my remaining family and they were either in denial or were helpless. I went to my friends and co-workers and I received the same treatment. I thought perhaps if I could pray more, meditate more, and listen more to spiritual masters, like Priests, Buddhist Monks, Gurus, Rabbis, and Imams there would be comfort. All I was told that this suffering had to happen. I could accept that but what else?

I started with a simple question when I danced. When words fail, people fail, and plans fail the result was life was very very hard- what's left?

At first, I came for myself and I felt so much better! Like Shazam better! I realized being supported without words and through embodied movement I was finally safe to express my grief. That is what I needed I thought: how can I be at peace, forgive those who have harmed me, while I begin again? I learned to be at peace with death and choices everyone makes. I am often seen, as the person of strength and being vulnerable wasn’t something I ever wanted to feel or experience.

I wish I could say I cried once and a fellow dancer held me and I was over it.

No.

My grief, like everyone else’s can be mysterious, frightening, and horrifying to be that raw, numb, and exposed. Instead I felt at that time I was defeated, crushed, and convinced that my life would never make sense again.

This is when my real healing began.

I learned to let go, cast off, or dance my rage and my sadness at burying both of my parents from a fatal disease. I continued to dance to find spaces to breathe relief into my body, to be supportive to others in their lives, and to allow myself to not judge my vulnerability.

After my mother died I noticed a difference of when I danced and when I didn't. I desired to feel full again and dancing my grief, the waves of my fears, my sadness, my anger, and my numbness began to lift.

I felt even more motivated to continue to dance because I could feel my body calling me to dance floor. It’s like my wise feet would call me to the cold wood floor. My feet would be gently caressed on all 4 corners while being energized to keep moving.

Once my feet are engaged on the floor my heart begins to open up. I can now see how my vulnerability opened up my heart. Once my heart is open nothing is impossible in my life or in my mind. I experience the wisdom that I am not alone the divine or cosmos is here supporting me and showing me what’s next, even when I have no logical idea. That is why I dance now.

I can often sense folks on the dance floor that are new to an embodied art. They may describe themselves as dancers, meaning they have taken classes or trained in a dance art. Or they just like to dance and they may not want to be conscious of their movements and just let go. What I suggest is that with this practice you will dance your steps in your body. This means you will begin to listen to it and don’t be afraid, as we are all here.

It is with the strength of my communities that I feel I have learned to become an integrated leader of mind, body, and spirit, start fresh with open eyes and an open heart, and I have energy and motivation to live my life fully!!!

In my opinion, rhythm is everywhere and dance isn’t always rainbows and butterflies. Yet, if you desire to feel empowered, integrated, and energized about you and your life, why not dance?

The Serenity Prayer Song (Sinnesrobönen)

The Serenity Prayer
(Reinhold Neibuhr, 1892-1971)

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
As it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
If I surrender to His Will;
So that I may be reasonably happy in this life
And supremely happy with Him
Forever and ever in the next.

Amen.

Sinnesrobönen
av Reinhold Niebuhr, teolog

Gud ge mig sinnesro att acceptera det jag inte kan förändra, mod att förändra det jag kan, och förstånd att inse skillnaden.

Låt dock aldrig min sinnesro bli så total att den släcker min indignation över det som är fel, vrångt och orätt. Att tårarna slutar rinna nerför mina kinder och vreden slocknar i mitt bröst.

Låt mig aldrig misströsta om möjligheten att nå en förändring bara för att det som är fel är lag och normalt, att det som är vrångt och orätt har historia. Och låt mig aldrig tvivla på förståndet bara för att jag är i minoritet. Varje ny tanke startar alltid hos en ensam.
Amen

My Adorable Divine Feminine Triad

Let me introduce you to my adorable divine feminine triad. The inner child in all her glory and in my three different facets. I love to portray them in my drawings.

The little baby girl is the daughter of God. The piece of me that never left God, the light within that can't be separated from God. She is my treasure. Her total dependency of God is the beholder of my faith. She only knows joy and play. When she is the main character in my drawings they are so funny. She makes me laugh. Her way of explaining what the Holy Spirit is always amazes me. Life is about pleasure and play for this little darling of mine.

The teenager is the girl before innocence in both body and mind was taken away from me. She is my little virgin Mary, the vessel of grace and mercy. The absolute co-creator of anything that can bring more love to the world. For her life is about purpose and peace.

The young woman is the sensual feminine in me who believes in any form of love: agape, eros and philos. She is all about connection, sharing, loving, intimacy and desire. Love is romantic and transformational. It is the juice of life. She needs passion to be the person she is.

Do I need to say that I love them wholeheartedly?

Min pappa dömde mig till ett liv i skuld och skam.

I dagens avsnitt av "Ett år med Gud" delar jag med mig av det ögonblick jag tar emot min pappas förbannelse och hur det leder till ett helt liv i fysisk och känslomässig smärta. Och jag berättar om hur jag blev fri från arvet från mina förfäder och vad Guds välsignelse har lett mig till.

I ett alkoholisthem är ingenting normalt.
Skuld och skam, vad gjorde det med mig?
Ont i magen i 35 år.
Slav under min pappas förbannande ord.
Fri genom morfars böner.
Med Gud som Fader.

Välkommen att lyssna till ett mycket personligt vittnesbörd om Guds kärlek.

Drawing, a Gift from God

It is meditative to draw. Sometimes the pictures rises from my heart and sometimes I draw from the depth of an emotion. I use it as a therapeutic tool when I feel sad, alone and scattered. I get calm, focused and I start to align with God again. It is soothing and a way of weaving a stronger relationship to God and Jesus. The lines are the holy spirit, threads filled with love for each other.

I got the gift to draw from God in September 2006. I share that story, how God's wrath awakened me to communicating through images, in the new book INNOVATIVE VOICES: True Stories by Women Awakening a New World.

From the Foreword by Kathleen Nelson Troyer:

There is a huge amount of love, courage, and transformation within the stories you are about to read. I suggest you take your time as you read this book. As you read each story, open your heart. Allow more space for your breath to receive the words, energy, and history on the pages in front of you. When you read something that strikes you deeply, spend a few moments in silence. Allow your thoughts to percolate. Jot down some notes and share with a friend.
It is an awakening process. As each of us does our own work, we awaken. We begin to light up our planetary field of consciousness. Our individual lights are beamed out in the form of our stories. And the ripples have already begun.

I have a dream about an Open Heart

I have a dream.
To write a song that touches people so deeply that it opens up their hearts.
I have a dream.
To find the lyrics within my own heart, that opens me up to receive even greater love.
I have a dream.
To hear that song performed on a stage and watch people cry and become speechless.

Because one thing I know. Love changes everything and love is the way.

Woman of The Day Oct 24: Jacke Schroeder

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Jacke Schroeder,

a LCSW-C (Licensed Clinical Social Worker-Certified) and a Director of SAFE: Stop Abuse of Elders. She is an ordained Maggidah. Jacke has written the Blessing for Innovative Voices, and she has been holding space for the women to write their stories. She is also a co-author of a Feminine Voices and Harmonic Voices.

Jacke is “healing her voice” via public speaking engagements about SAFE to build a local, statewide and national elder abuse prevention movement. As an ordained Maggidah - an inspirational teacher and teller of stories about the journey of the soul -Jacke’s voice is a channel to ignite awareness and education about the needs of hundreds of thousands of older adults who are being abused and exploited in the U.S. Jacke’s healed voice serves to advocate for legislation that is changing the criminal justice and social services system in ways that provide the protection needed and respect deserved for our older adults. With safety nets and shelter for our wisdom keepers, they will be able to do their development work of synthesizing their life experience and leaving legacies for our society to be healthy and whole. 

SAFE is her main focus right now. But Jacke's Sacred Pearl Tours will be live again, there she offers you to "Discover Your Holy Land One Pearl at a Time".  

FROM SACRED PEARL TOURS ON FACEBOOK:

"The alchemists had an excellent image for the transformation of suffering and symptom into a value of the soul. A goal of the alchemical process was the pearl of great price. The pearl starts off a bit of grit, a neurotic symptom or complaint, a bothersome irritant to one’s secret inside flesh, which no defensive shell can protect oneself from. This is coated over, worked at day in day out, until the grit one day is a pearl; yet it still must be fished up from the depths and pried loose. Then when the grit is redeemed, it is -worn. It must be worn on the warm skin to keep its luster: the redeemed complex which once caused suffering is exposed to public view as a virtue. The esoteric treasure gained through occult work becomes an exoteric splendor. To get rid of the symptom means to get rid of the chance to gain what may one day be of greatest value, even if at first an unbearable irritant, lowly, and disguised."

Woman of the Day, Oct 23: Elizabeth St. Germain

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Elizabeth St. Germain,

a generous, warm woman and mother in transition. She is committed to the awakening of her fullest potential of divine love. Elizabeth is also a co-author of several Heal My Voice anthologies. In Innovative Voice she has shared her powerful presence and her wisdom, and allowed herself to drink from the HMV well of feminine truth, love and innovation.

Are You Standing at a Gateway of Transformation?

Transition between old and new is always meet with an Initiation, some ground shaking, others mild yet always life altering. “As we prepare to enter a new realm we must pass through the gateway of transformation; and are usually greeted with tests. There is no initiation without tests, and this testing must take us to our limits in order to be “valid”. 

Initiation is not just about enchanting rituals with candles or other mystical paraphernalia. Magic happens when you decree with Faith your Heart’s pure desire. True initiation is grounded in material reality. Its effect expands throughout mind, body and emotions. Sometimes we scream with frustration “why am I going through this again?” This is because the test occurs on ALL levels of mind, body and emotions. The more profound the change being processed the more rigorous the test. 

Asking, “where in life am I standing at the gateway of transformation?” is the first small step toward your next quantum leap. Step boldly across the gateway with faith, trusting you are not alone! “Lo, I AM with you always, even until the end of time!” Yeshua

Woman of the Day; Oct 22: Marie Ek Lipanovska

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Marie Ek Lipanovska,

that's me, the blogger. 

I am a mother of three children, an evangelist, and a mentor for women in transition. I am also the founder of Heal My Voice Sweden, and a publisher of three HMVS anthologies. In Innovative Voices my contribution is a story called "Pain has a purpose, and a story to tell."

My deepest passion is my relationship to Jesus. A life without God's love is unthinkable. When I lost everything in my life, He was there by my side. When I was to tired to write or do anything, He asked me to draw, so that I could let go of all the pain that I felt in body, soul and heart. He found me useful when society gave up on me. When I didn't know how to pay my rent or put food on my table, God came to my rescue. When I needed clothes for me and my son, he sent me that.  

Today is my birthday. I am moving into my 50th year in this body that I love so much. Two years ago I was so depleted that I didn't have enough life energy left in me to live. God was keeping me alive with every breath. I had a choice, to ask for help or to die. My history told me that I was not valuable. I was the strong person that never asked for support, and the few times when I had done it, I got the answer: "I am sorry but I can't".

I reached out to four Heal My Voice Sweden sisters: Carina, Lisbeth, Rinella, and Titti. Women that I trusted. "Please come, I don't want to live anymore." And they came. They carried me through the worst part, and made sure I had good food, company, and the love that only friendship can bring. They never stopped seeing me for who I am: a passionate woman with a purpose, and an open heart, willing to lead by example. Determined to never give up my faith in God, and real love. 

Here I am, Eva Marie, a graceful sensual woman in transition. I am here to tell my story, because it matters. I am here to show that God never gives up on me, and how important it is to have real friends that loves you for who you are. No matter what!

Woman of the Day, Oct 21: Alecia Caine

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Alecia Caine,

a CPA and an Entrepreneur with passion for chocolate and life. Alecia travels between her two homes in California and Italy. She works with Taxes for Expats, and as a money coach/mentor for individuals, families and small businesses. She is also a co-author of Sensual Voices and in Innovative Voices she has been holding space for the women to write their stories.

"Maybe you already did a lot of work on your life, your relationships, your health and your business and you have made many improvements in those areas but with money, the same patterns emerge, the same problems persist. As a society, we don't talk about money, so how are we supposed to heal our money wounds? Money often leaves a path of frustration, fear, overwhelm and confusion. I'd like to gently lead you toward greater empowerment, confidence, clarity and financial freedom. 

Imagine feeling empowered to make money decisions, having a clear picture of your financial situation, knowing what you want it to be and feeling confident about taking the right steps to get there. 

What about you? What money stories are holding you back from living the life you desire?

Are you ready to Grow Your M-Ou-La-La?" - Alecia Caine

RADIO:

Woman of the Day, Oct 19: Marijane Thompson

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Marijane Thompson,

Engaged in Home Schooling through E-learning at Connections Academy. She is also a Certified Zentangle® Teacher, a storyteller and co-author of Inspired Voices. In Innovative Voices she has been a space holder for the women authors. Book release on October 27 on Amazon.

"Each night I am there, as I lay on the old narrow sleeper sofa, my brain attempts to relax and to temporarily release thoughts of all the tasks that need attention. I wonder what her life has been about…. what legacy does she feel she is leaving behind? I know that her family – mother, sisters, husband, children and grandchildren have been the joys of her life – people in general have been what is important. She has been kind, supportive and compassionate, and loves to show people that she cares. Last week when she was in the ER for a blood pressure issue, she asked the name of everyone who showed up to help her – and remembered them. “Oh, your name is Agnes? I went to school with Agnes Doyle; you don’t hear that name much today!” And when I wheeled her out, she was elated to see Agnes to say goodbye, and it was obvious that small gesture made Agnes’ day. Everyone enjoys her and remarks how she does not seem to portray her age. 

She tells me that she tries not to think about dying. Some days she wishes she would pass in her sleep…. she is so weary, and still misses my dad. Yet in the next moment, she will tell me how wonderful it felt to have her aide wash her hair, and that she is so glad her new blood pressure meds have taken away the full feeling in her head. It is all Wonder… feeling good with the simple things. 

And that is how I want to live the rest of my life… seeing the obvious Wonder that is always there if I just look past what I think is real. To simply embody the Wonder… to hold the feeling throughout my being and when the trials of my life want to pull me down… to take a breath – smile – and allow the Wonder to pop through into my field. It becomes easier and easier." Marijane Thompson

Woman of the Day, Oct 18: Lisbeth Jönsson

Please Join me in Celebrating The Women Of the 10th Heal My Voice Book: Innovative Voices: True Stories By Women Awakening A New World.

Meet Lisbeth Jönsson,

a singing pilgrim and a naturally wise woman. She leads pilgrimage, is a Qigong teacher, and a passionate Hildegard educator, following in the footsteps of Saint Hildegard of Bingen. Lisbeth is also a co-author of several Heal My Voice books, and a contributing author in Innovative Voices. Release October 27 on Amazon. 

Lisbeth Jönsson has spent almost two decades on stage, and backstage, as a theater producer. Now she has replaced producing shows to making natural products from her garden to use in her every day life. Lisbeth has a deep passion for nature, and a natural talent for how to use the gifts she grows in her garden, and finds in nature. On her Facebook page NaturligtVis and on Instagram she shares recipes, and tips.
Lisbeth is a pilgrim. Twice a month she works as an volunteer for the church in her hometown in Sweden, and leads pilgrimage in a beautiful park in downtown Malmoe. Her love for God and Nature come together in the study of Saint Hildegard. Lisbeth's passion for nature, plants and herbs inspired her to become a Hildegard educator/pedagouge. Hildegard of Bingen was a preacher, abbess, mystic, and author (1098 - 1179). Just like Lisbeth, she had a deep connection to God, nature and music.

NATURALLY WISE:

How to make schampoo and conditioner from natural ingredients. How to make soup out what most people see as unwelcomed weed in the garden. Chestnuts in the washing machine to clean your clothes...
Learn more from Lisbeth, and let us hope she can post some of her wisdom in English, and reach an even larger audience.

SINGER:

When Lisbeth studied to become a Hildegard educator, she went to Germany. In what is called Hildegard's chapel she recorded this version of Amazing Grace. Be touched!

On the big book release in 2014, of Heal My Voice Sweden's second anthology: Frigörande Röster, Lisbeth and the pianist/co-author Tina Hillerström sang together with all of the authors. 

Click her to see and listen to the wonderful rehearsal, on Youtube!
