The Medicine Wheel - The Circle of Light - "Finding the Nectar of Your Soul"
"Finding the Nectar of Your Soul" is part three of our Energy Medicine Wheel, The Circle of Light, but it also works as a separate workshop, so you are warmly welcome if you feel the calling! This workshop is about finding out who you are in your essence. Finding your nectar, your sweetness in life. Just like the colibri. And to have the courage to really commit to yourself.
During these days you will receive the energy frequencies of the Nustas, the original energies of love that give birth to life softly and beautifully. These frequencies will help you find your nectar, to see the beauty in every part of yourself and love every part of yourself so that you can love everybody and everything around you.
We will also focus on releasing all the roles that we play, the role of mother/father, child, partner, workroles, roles that have been put upon you by your family/friends/yourself such as the shy one, the cheerful one, the undecisive one, the angry one, the talkative one, the clumsy one etc. You will go beyond all these roles to find out who you are in your essence and where you are headed.
You will also become more familiar with all the seven archetypes within you (the four animals and the three guardians of the three worlds) during our days together.
And finally, you will begin to be a Wisdomkeeper by receiving the Wisdomkeeper’s Rite. This rite helps you reestablish your relationship with Father/Mother Heaven. It also helps you connect to a lineage of luminous beings from the past and the future. Beings who have stepped out of time and who will help you taste infinity. They will also help you remember the ancient teachings so that you can share them with others when you find it appropriate.
Our days together contain many guided Gong and Crystal Sound Meditations, Qi Gong exercises, talking, sharings, energy work exercises, initiations (energy transmissions), energy work outdoors in the beautiful nature around Løken Gård, fire ceremonies etc. We follow the energy processes in the group and what comes to us from the world and the universe so we can never say beforehand exactly what will come up in each workshop but we have a basic structure for each one.
We will give you tools to bring home for you to work with to continue your own magical journey to get to know every part of yourself, nature and the universe.

What is qigong? "Qi" means "life energy" and "gong" means "method". Qigong originates from China and can be described as a meditation in movement. For thousands of years it has been practiced by the Chinese to create balance between body, mind and soul and thereby stay in good health. There are numerous different kinds of qigong. Soul Journey Qi Gong is a unique form created by Maria Løken - a blend of old eastern philosophy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and ancient shamanic wisdom. It consists of series of soft, slow, beautiful, simple and powerful movements made with a specific concentration for each movement.
By practicing Soul Journey Qi Gong you stimulate the circulation of "qi", blood and lymph in your body. You fill every cell in your body with fresh oxygen and you stimulate all your inner organs.
On a soul level, practicing Soul Journey Qigong can help you open up your heart and feel the oneness with nature and the universe. Feel the oneness with every part of creation. You can find your own light, your unique vibration of the original source of love.
The effect of the qigong practice is deepened and strengthened by the healing tones from gongs and crystal instruments played by Bjørn.
The qigong session will be followed by a deeply healing Gong Meditation during which you can let go of heavy energies that do not serve you anymore and bring in the original light of love from heaven and earth. The tones and frequences enter on cellular level in your body, help you open up and release blockings and tensions.
LEADERS: Maria and Bjørn Løken. Maria is the creator of Soul Journey Qi Gong, a Certified Instructor of Medical Qigong according to the Biyun method, a sound healer and a shaman.

24-25 OCTOBER
Weekend Course in Soul Journey Qi Gong 3 - The Initiation of the Navel
at Løken Gård, Fetsund AND ONLINE, LIVE!
In Soul Journey Qigong 3- The Initiation of the Navel, you reawaken the memory of your origin in the stars and begin sourcing from the future. You take a big, fearless leap into your new future and find out HOW to share your unique vibration.
The Initiation of the Navel is about becoming the CREATOR of your own life. To start living fully as YOU here in our Garden of Eden, walking here softly in unconditional love and beauty, sharing your unique light in co-creation and play.
By practicing this qigong method you can access full connection with and balance between the different parts of you: the creative, intuitive, soft and caring part and the part of you that is structured, decisive, firm, and that takes out the direction.
Like Soul Journey Qigong 1 and 2, Soul Journey Qigong 3 is a blend of ancient shamanic wisdom (mainly from the Q'ero Shamans in the Andes, descendants of the Incas), many thousand years old eastern philosophy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. The method has sprung out of Maria´s intuition to be shared with you through the deeply healing tones from Bjørn's playing on gongs and crystal instruments.
Through series of soft, slow and powerful movements combined with a specific concentration and sometimes with pressure on certain acupuncture/acupressure points, you open up light portals in your body and take in energy frequencies from the stars that can help you heal your body and soul, take in information and move forward with a clear direction. The tones from Bjørn’s playing on gongs and crystal instruments strengthen and deepen the effect of the qigong. Together with the movements and the concentration the tones transmit the energy frequencies from the stars. The music helps you open up, clear away energetic blockings that hold you back from living fully as you and start realizing your dreams.
When you attend a course in Soul Journey Qigong 3 – The Initation of the Navel, you get a video recording of the method with you home, made at one of the power places here in Fetsund, a 70 meters deep lake called Varsjøen. The qigong movements in the video are accompanied by Bjørn's healing tones from gongs and crystal instruments and Maria’s spoken instructions. The idea is for you to be able to continue practicing the method on your own at home.
