When you seem to have lost purpose in life, give yourself permission to spend four moments every season to reflect on your inner wisdom. Tapping into the well of your inner wisdom by reading a mythological story. Being challenged to interpret it. Getting guidance on how to work with mythology and archetypes. And last but certainly not least, to use the technique of dream incubation  you’d be tuning into the wisdom that is locked in mythology.

Arthur

Leave a Comment / Mindfunda courses, Mythofunda, MYTHOLOGY /

n this blog, I explore how mythology can illuminate our lives and help us understand the struggles we face, using the Arthurian myth as a central theme. I reflect on how mythology isn’t just a collection of ancient stories but a tool for personal growth, transformation, and healing. One of the most profound moments came when I had a dream where I was told, “You belong to the court of King Arthur,” which changed my perception of myth forever. Through exploring the lessons of King Arthur and the Grail, we learn that mythology is not only about understanding stories, but about solving life’s problems and re-interpreting our own narratives.

In the Mindfunda Mythology course, the lesson “Mythology of the Grail: Pulling Out the Sword” dives into this deeper spiritual meaning. The Grail symbolizes a soul-deep love that helps you navigate life’s trials, such as depression and despair, guiding you back to your true self. By asking the right questions at the right time, as the Arthurian myth suggests, you can find the healing and transformation you need. The course is designed to help you reconnect with mythological themes, such as the Trickster, and integrate them into your personal growth journey. Discover the power of archetypes and mythology, and how these ancient symbols can help you better understand your dreams and life’s challenges.

Shaman – Magic: The Goddess and the Shaman book review

Leave a Comment / Mindfunda courses, Online courses /

In The Goddess and The Shaman, J.A. Kent offers a deeply personal account of her journey into the spiritual realm of the Elphame, exploring her transformation through Out of Body Experiences and shamanic rituals. This book blends ancient shamanic practices with modern ecopsychology, shedding light on the goddess revival and the sacred feminine energy in a predominantly male-oriented society. While it doesn’t serve as a practical workbook on connecting with your inner goddess, it offers invaluable insights into shamanism, rituals, and how dreams act as a doorway to spiritual realms. A compelling read for those interested in shamanism, paganism, and feminine spirituality.

Nightmare and Dreams: a presentation for Rivas

Leave a Comment / Mindfunda courses, Mythofunda, MYTHOLOGY, presentations /

Nightmares, though often seen as unsettling, can be blessings in disguise. Research suggests that 6% of the population regularly experiences nightmares, but these dreams carry profound messages. They urge us to make changes, both symbolically and literally. During my presentation for the Dutch Rivas Organisation, I shared insights on the power of dreams and nightmares, and how they connect with waking life.

Nightmares, as unsettling as they can be, often carry a transformative power. They prompt us to confront inner fears or unresolved emotions. My own experiences, as well as those of others, show how dreams—especially nightmares—can serve as catalysts for self-reflection and change. From Kenneth Parks’ tragic case of sleepwalking to the symbolic imagery found in films like Nightmare on Elm Street, nightmares explore the boundary between the waking and dreaming worlds.

Through mindfulness and creative visualization, we can gain control over our nightmares, giving them a better ending and harnessing their power for personal growth. If you’re curious about the deeper connections between dreams, psychology, and the brain, I invite you to explore my online courses on Mindfunda. Together, we can delve into the mysteries of the dream world and transform our nightmares into powerful allies.

Tonight the moon is in the sign of Cancer. Dreams during the moon in Cancer have a tendency to be about light-dark issues. “Is there light to be found in the dark, or does the light come from heaven above” might be a question to meditate on tonight. Or you could ask a dream about how to embrace and accept your own shadow in the next year. The incubations I share below (MoreMindfunda members only), is focussed on the month of January 2016.
