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….)
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.
Meditation is a precise technique for resting the mind and attaining a state of consciousness that is totally different from the normal waking state. It is the means for fathoming all the levels of ourselves and finally experiencing the centre of consciousness within. Swami Rama

Have you ever wondered why pottering in the garden is so popular? It does not look exciting, not much happens, so why do people love it so much?
When you go out in the garden, to the park or allotment you are receiving soothing energy from the grass, trees and plants. They take your stress and give it to Mother Earth to deal with. As you tend your plants, watering and feeding them, your mind starts to slow and you enter that calm space within that brings so much clarity. As you breath out, the stress from the difficulties in your life leaves you. As you breath in, new energy and vitality enters you. What a great stress buster!
A kitchen is often the centre of a home. For women, typically it is a place of work where they prepare meals, do the ironing, help children with their homework or do other domestic chores. For me I also write my blog sitting at the kitchen table. It is not a room I would think to relax in.
