I Have Found a New Way to Be Myself – and It Changed Everything

I don’t think I fully understood how little I actually saw – until I began to see. Not just myself, but life, the people around me, nature, and all the invisible things that exist. When I started my education at the Yggdrasil Shamanic School, a new world opened up to me. A world that had always been there – but one that I hadn’t had the language or consciousness to understand until now.

A New Consciousness – About Myself and the World

One of the most significant changes in my life has been developing a deeper consciousness. I see myself more clearly, understand why I’ve been the way I’ve been, and recognize who I truly want to be. And the most touching part of all this – is that I’ve learned that it’s completely okay. Everything I’ve gone through in life, everything I’ve felt ashamed of or regretted, is part of the journey. It has shaped me into who I am today.

That insight hit me profoundly: That what has been, can be as it is. But I can choose anew – now. The choices I make today, and where they lead me, are what truly matter.

A Community That Sees You

One of the things that has touched me the most is the community. I feel like I’ve found my soul family – people who walk the same path, with the same intention. We understand each other, support each other, and we don’t need to explain everything. We just know.

And then there’s Pål-Esben. I get emotional just talking about how much it has meant to me that he sees me. That he believes in me – even during periods when I couldn’t see it myself. He sees the potential in us. Not with pressure, but with warmth, honesty, and a genuine belief in our growth. I have never felt judged. Only supported.

A Teaching Method That Provides Deep Experiences

The blend of online instruction and practical exercises suits me perfectly. While I learn extensively through the teaching sessions, it’s during the hands-on exercises that everything truly crystallizes. When I engage in the practical work myself – that’s when I feel it in my body, in my experience, in my life. And that’s when I truly understand.

I remember thinking initially: “Can we really learn shamanism through a computer? Shouldn’t we be out in the forest?” But for me, it has worked beautifully. The instruction is flexible, I can revisit and review content, and – even through the screen – I can feel the energetic field. We are genuinely connected, authentically present.

Knowledge That Awakens Something Ancient Within Me

With each new seminar, I experience a profound sense of recognition. It’s as if something that has been dormant within me finally finds its voice and direction. I’ve always been drawn to runes and spirituality, but I never fully grasped it. Now the pieces are falling into place. It’s as though everything I’ve been curious about for years is finally emerging – with meaning and depth.

And it fascinates me. I used to think spirituality was about ghosts and “things out there.” But what I’ve experienced is something entirely different. Something much deeper. Communication with nature. With trees. With rhythms and energy that live within the body. It’s like awakening from hibernation into a life that feels completely authentic.

Getting to Know Myself – Anew

This journey has taught me that I don’t need to be perfect. That I’m not wrong because I’ve failed. And that I can choose again – every single day. I’m more honest with myself now. I dare to face both the light and shadows within me. And it has given me an entirely new strength.

This isn’t just an education I’ve undergone. It’s a complete transformation. A new relationship with life. With myself. With nature. And I feel grateful, moved – and truly alive.
