Soul Maps come to Aschau, Germany

Aschau im Chiemgaun is the perfect place to inspire you to do some self discovery. The scenery, food and people are wonderful. In Aschau there is so much opportunity to walk in nature and to relax, reflect and meditate.

Petra Knickenberg and Alison Wem held a three day event with Soul Map private sittings, a demonstration and a workshop in the beautiful Winter Garden at the Zum Baumbach hotel in Aschau.

On Friday evening, there was a stir of excitement in the air in the Winter Garden where nearly 50 people gathered for a demonstration of Soul Maps by Alison Wem of Your Soul Family. It was the alternative event for the local beer festival. No pressure to make it a fun event! (Petra and Alison did get a chance to sample the delights of the beer tent on Saturday evening….) read more

Your Soul Family goes international!

This weekend I will be packing up my Your Soul Family workshop material to travel to Germany. I am so excited! I will be giving a demonstration on Soul Maps, private sittings and an introductory workshop in ‘Creating your own Soul Map’. It is an action packed agenda and will be great fun. Petra Knickenberg is hosting the event in Aschau, a beautiful village in Bavaria. Thank you @Petramariaknickenberg.

Everything we do brings fresh opportunities to learn. Of course I am typically English and do not speak another language well. Perhaps that is something I should change. However next week I will be learning to work through an interpreter. In this global era, I believe it is a good skill to have. The more individuals from different countries talk, the better we understand each other. This can only be good as we start to think of a country by the people we have spoken with, rather than by the country’s reputation or political leader’s comments. It is much harder to dislike a person than a country. It is wonderful to see and experience another country’s culture including their people, food, houses and everything else that comes with it. read more

Do your friends and family think you are crazy?

What is this mindfulness stuff? a mental state achieved by focusing awareness on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one’s feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations. Calmness and an inner peace arrives with this state.

How do you focus on the present moment? There are many techniques. Meditation is popular but a walk in the park, painting or colouring are good too.  I recommend painting a soul map as your brain responds to the symmetrical pattern.

You were once so different; perhaps your life values were different for example; career driven at all costs, you valued big houses and expensive cars, or perhaps you were too shy to do what you wanted to do with your life.  You felt happiness in some way eluded you.  You did not have a sense of satisfaction with your life. read more
