Certified VortexHealingÂź practitioner.
Raised in a family where reason and ICT dominated, Reiki managed to surprise me enormously at the age of 15 (in 2000). For how did that fit into my worldview of science, technology and physics?
The question stayed with me for a long time, since I felt Reiki right away. In this search for answers, I kept my âfeet on the groundâ but my head in the clouds. An admiration for the scientific method and its achievements, combined with the fascination for what else there is to discover.
Â
After many years of searching, I came to VortexHealingÂź Divine Energy Healing. Using their approach, I managed to process my deep childhood pain. After 5 years of intensive training, I now give treatments from one of the highest levels within VortexHealingÂź (Accessing Manifesting Intention).
For a treatment to really work, it helps if I understand whatâs going on. But why would you open up to someone you barely know? I believe itâs only fair that I first share a bit about my own healing path. (Although I rarely talk about it during sessions, that time is yours!)
I was intrigued by Reiki and soon managed to ignite a âpilot lightâ in my hands, and used it for self-treatment. This deepened significantly after taing a Reiki 1 class a year later. After twelve years of regular practice, Reiki II followed.
Reiki made me calmer and helped me touch surpressed emotions. It taught me (to a certain extent) what was really going on, and how to resolve it â provided I put my ego aside. Knowing the extent of my unresolved pain these days, Reiki saved me. Intuition became my guide through difficult times.
Reiki is so beautifully grounded, yet I didnât see a path for going deeper. In Eckhart Tolleâs videoâs I felt such magical peace between the words - that was spirituality! But spiritual awakening seems like an impossible long road.
Coaching tought me to see human interaction, other healing modalities offered more deeper energetics. However, they lacked the connection to Eastern spirituality of awakening the ego, finding enlightenment and non-duality.
This all came into view with VortexHealingŸ Divine Energy Healing. The first day of class felt like satsang, clear and on spot on. The foundational training and manuals dismantled many spiritual illusions, forcing me to re-evaluate most of my spiritual beliefs.
My difficult childhood seemed far behind me - life was going well! That illusion shattered when, after a tough fertility treatment, we were expecting our daughter.
Painful responses that followed exposed internal family dynamics. It resulted in a outpouring of negative emotions. The prospect that this wouldnât stop solidified a tunnel vision. Sleepless nights, trouble concentrating, and spiralling towards depression.
To address this, all approaches I knew didnât help or made things worse. Eventually, I admitted needing psychotherapy.
Through Emotionally Focused Therapy and additional VortexHealingÂź sessions, I worked through the underlying drivers of my depression. Within six months this cleared all symptoms. I never saw myself as the âwounded healerâ before, but despite this painful experience I am very grateful for the insights and clarity it has given me.
From VortexHealingÂź Omega level I managed to break through new difficult situations, sometimes supplemented with a single therapy session. Further training made that healing even more effective, which I used to tackle all aspects of my childhood and insecure attachment.
At Merlinâs Graceâ level this moves through all dimensions and identification. It also revealed the final part: my inner wall around violence. A knot tied to recent past lives, together with everything I endured as a child. Thankfully the healing was so profound that my psychologist deemed EMDR unnecessary. The deeper cause of the depression was gone, and I became more grounded in my body and root.
We never really had plans to go to an ashram. But when Shelley (my wife) kept coming across meditations on the âDivine Motherâ, the message came through strongly that we should go to Amma (MÄtÄ AmritÄnandamayÄ«) in India!
Suddenly it flowed, all objections, obstacles and blockages fell away. And off we went!
When you really look at Amma, you see no ego; just light and love. A sphere for light, sheâs unlike anyone else Iâve ever met. No wonder so many Vortex teachers talk about her. Ammaâs presence changed something deep inside us. Invisible patterns just fell away, so we went back the next year - this time with our daughter.
In her presence, many insights from the Bhagavad GÄ«tÄ made sense, and how you can get there with practical everyday life. She shows the end goal of the spiritual path. Seeing through the ego is only the beginning; deepening this further, fully embodying and applying it throughout your life is the real art!
In doing so, we meet everything that holds us from Love. And this journey never really endsâŠ
