Akashic reading.
A month ago I went for an Akashic reading with Kriss Tiger. I knew roughly what an Akashi reading was but not the finer details.
I entered into the seance with curiosity but with a slight nervousness as well.
Straight away Kriss put me at ease and we just chatted for awhile and then she asked me what questions I had for my guides?
In the Akashic readings the practitioner communicates with your spiritual guides.
There was ceremony and ritual to the reading, prayers spoken and cleaning ceremonies performed.
She worked on my chakras a bit re-aligning those that needed it and then had me ask my questions and then she started.

I won’t go into full detail here of all the processes or parts of the seance but here are some moments that I felt or experienced.

“There was a moment with my eyes closed where I felt suspended in a totally black void, just floating in an endless space”

“After doing some breath work and repeating some mantras (my eyes closed) I vividly saw an eye it looked and seemed so real. It was an eye of a giraffe, soft, wet, kind, gentle. It then morphed into an eye of a donkey with the same feeling and sense. Next thing I remember is looking up (eyes still closed) as though I was laying on my back looking up the outside of a long elephant trunk. It just kept going up towards the sky, I could see all the wrinkles on it. It was as though the elephant was standing over me, but there was no fear, I felt totally safe.

Apparently having these visions showed my spirit animals.

I encountered a lot of visions during the seance and had advice from my guides. Narrated to me through Kriss and she was constantly writing stuff down that was being said to her.

By the time I finished my reading I somehow felt that I was walking taller. A lot seemed to have happened but at the same time not. I did feel lighter and went away with a lot of answers but also a lot of questions, I could not really put my finger on what just happened and was not able to verbalise it fully.

Kriss told me that the reading would open up things inside of me and in my life and to be aware of that during the next few days.

The reading was on a Tuesday. Come the Friday I had fallen into a deep heavy sullenness and felt do discontent. I was so tired that all I did for the whole weekend was lay on the sofa and feel so deeply sad and lost. Breath work and movement did not help and by 19.30 each evening I had to physically drag myself from the sofa to my bed ad I had such a lack of energy.
From the Friday to the Monday morning my sleep was deep and long.
Then by Tuesday I started to lift from this haze and things started to click together, I started to see and feel the connections and truths to many things in my life. Where there were once questions now sat knowledge and knowing of what I needed and direction where there was none before.

I still can’t really explain, what happened in that reading or afterwards, but what I experienced was real and very poignant. It’s still processing through me and it has somehow opened up that curiosity of my life journey even more.

It’s the start of my Alps summer trek guiding season and there is no compromise in my footwear.
My Vivo textile tracker boots are waterproof, comfortable, supple underfoot with a wide toe box. It’s about as barefoot as one can be in big mountain hiking environments like the European Alps.
My feet have the full sensory experience of feeling and knowing the ground they travel over while staying protected, dry and warm.
If you fancy the Vivo tracker boots or any other Vivo shoe or boot you can use my discount code at checkout on their website.

What a beautiful route this morning, sunny but not to hot.
Making our way up sling side the river, crossing over then climbing up to Trou a L’Ours and climbing through the gap before descended back down into the valley.

First run back in Switzerland.
This tiny little loop of 4km always intimidates me when I first run it start of each season. I don’t why it does but it does.
This mornings run was wonderful, Garmin told me I did s**t and Strava told me I was amazing.
I felt in between 😂😂😂😂.
The beautiful part came as I was running back down and I had my Icaros playlist playing through the shokz headphones, the sound of the river roaring below me, the birds singing and then I saw two deer running past me and I remembered what Jason had said last night “how privileged are we to be able to run such a beautiful little route” and it hit home, no matter how intimated I feel on this run, how privileged I am to be able to run it, and that flip of the narrative flipped how I saw and felt about it.

This is directly opposite my home. To have the opportunity to go there in the mornings to plunge, play my flute in nature and do some breath work is such a privilege. So much gratitude flowing from my soul.

Early morning on the terrace.
It’s that time of year, where first coffees are drunk on the terrace with the first light of the day. Swifts, sparrows and pigeons flying above, below and all around. The river pounding out its volume, and that’s it.
Yesterday evening was here as well as the sun was going to bed playing flute and drum, again with the evening sounds of the birds and the river.
It’s a fortunate life to be able to have these moments of stillness, to reflect on life, where I am at in it and where I wish to head towards. To be able to find time to step away and think about all this is not a given, it’s something that the crazy world does not allow for most, I know how privileged I am.
For that I am truly grateful.
