 Sacred art facilitation, sound resonance healing and tai chi chuan.

 
  Glow and wisdom of the potential starseed

 As a child I was fascinated by colors in the rainbow, flowers, trees, animals, shapes of the skies, stars.....all the diversity found in nature. All of this was reflected in my mind either as patterns that challenged me to express myself in some symbolic form or the urge to copy exactly what I observed. This curiosity was a true gift from nature and in challenging times I found myself running to pick up my color-box of crayons to return to this wonderland where the Starseed, that I am in essence, was  untouched and complete in its glow and wisdom. Many of the patterns that I created spontaneously were circles with geometrical forms, not knowing what it was. It was just flowing from my heart through the hand.                                                                        

ॐ  S t a r s e e d
Later in life during my spiritual awakening process, which was propelled in 1987, I created visionary images that arouse directly out of the colors. It is fascinating how colors reflects images and patterns that emanates from deeper levels of consciousness. During this period I had many inner visions arising in short flashes.

I discovered how it emanated out of the silent space in the gabs between the thoughts. It took me on a inner journey to explore the mind nature and parallel to it study the deeper essence found in colors, sound resonance and luminous patterns. I was guided to explore the sacred circles, known as “mandalas,” and the joy of recognition was great. In the most profound way these images reflected many of my inner visions. It was like coming home.

 Parallel to my awakening I went through an intensive healing process and supervision and I was encouraged to take different workshops and educations within the spiritual field. As a very important part of my awakening process I have been on a spiritual journey to study sacred art, shamanism, methods of meditation and healing art in countries like France, Italy, Israel, Egypt, India, Australia, New Zealand, California and South America. 

 
Essence and healing conveyed through sacred art

 I started working as a healer, visionary artist, teacher and facilitator in 2002 for children and adults. More and more work are now focused on performing sessions with groups as well as sessions one to one.

 I am guided from within to work as a healer and facilitator for the kinship between essence, sound-resonance and sacred art. Guidance are offered for individuals at all ages and groups both in Denmark and abroad to respond to the authenticity and potentiality of the supportive Self radiant Nature.

 The field of creative consciousness, which operates in silence and resonates with the full potentiality of your being, is where divine symbols of light emanates. I guide you to recognize and express your intuitive soul-like potential. The process is transforming and reveals the aliveness of the present moment, where new insights are gained.

 ॐ C.V.

 I studied as a mandala facilitator with Dr. Judith Rajita Cornell ( www.mandala-universe.com ) and I am currently part of a worldwide network of mandala facilitators all educated by Judith Rajita Cornell. I have been educated in the field of sound healing and art-therapy as well.

 "Dancing Rainbow" is the spiritual name I have received.

 

Healing art is a basic and universal part of our essential nature. It goes beyond any belief system, concepts and spiritual traditions. That is why I take full advantage of combining it all:
