KAAMOSVALO
Kaamosvalo is Finnish and means ’the light of the polar night’. It may sound contradictory but having lived in Northern Finland near 70N latitude, I have experienced the magic of an alternative "source" of light – the snow. Even during the deepest winter, during the daytime, the indirect light of the sun from beyond the horizon reflects from the snow and brings up different hues of the sky and nature. Along with the new environmental condition, we get a new, softer experience of everyday matters.
This same gentle reflection of matters of soul growth is in the core of my coaching. We look at your themes from new angles with focus on strengthening your ability to see deeper into and hold space for the wholeness of your experience. The skills of awareness include understanding the movements of your mind combined with the information from your body – so the whole bodymind.
Practicing these awareness skills lays foundation for transformation and creating sustainable change. With deeper understanding of your experience and the elements involved comes the ability to see new possibilities and make new choices that could not have stemmed from conscious mind alone. This new ability can be adopted in any one area and applied in all of life.
In the coaching sessions I guide, we practice the capacity to witness our experience rather than becoming identified with it. We use the mind to decode the elements as well as turn towards the bodily sensations to tune into the information that is not always easily articulated by words but is more symbolic in its transmission.
In witness consciousness we have the opportunity to discover more of our true identity by learning to accept the totality of the contents of our psyche and with the loving, non-judgemental, honest attention of the Witness integrate parts that we earlier might have shunned away from. The stronger we are in our Witness the more choice we will be able to perceive and the deeper our experience of life.
My own more intentional journey on soul evolution began in Oct 2010 when I got a book by Jiddu Krishnamurti. (His statement "Truth is a pathless land" is to me a key reminder of the mystery we get to experience during our life but - most likely - never figure out;)
In the end of 2012 I quit my work as an IT consultant and started studying methodologies of self-growth deeper. Since 2014, I have guided clients in life coaching, mindfulness meditation practices and somatic awareness through reiki as well as hosted nature holidays in the far Northern Finland.
On 2020 I opened the door into the realm of symbols and somatic awareness and noticed my world expand while understanding there is nothing in me in need of healing, only integrating. I got graduated as an Archetypal Somatics™ coach in August 2021.
Today and onwards, my dear wish is to share my learnings with other people and help us grow and evolve greater in our consciousness and towards creating more magic in the world.
