Prologue

Welcome dear soul. This book has found you for a reason, or perhaps you have found it for a reason.

Since autumn 2021 I have been traveling. What started off as a “once-in-a-lifetime” trip to Mexico didn’t end in Morocco three years later. The world keeps calling me and I keep answering. In this book I share the most valuable lessons I have learned during this time up until now.

Often I will write intuitively about whatever comes to mind. Once inspiration has struck, I let myself float on the river until I’m satisfied with the outcome.

Before diving into the depths of my writing, I want to give you a heads-up. Sometimes you might feel overwhelmed, outraged or triggered by what I state. That’s okay. Choose to observe your reaction rather than indulge in it and ask yourself why you might behave or feel this way.

Meditation and teachers have taught me that once we start asking questions, our emotions and intuition will answer. As I share in the book, I have learned that we carry immense wisdom inside ourselves, that is just waiting to be unlocked.

Once I realized I am never really alone and have someone to direct all my questions to, I started making use of that. Healing is a power we all carry inside of us and these dialogues with ourselves are the first step.

Some things you might not agree with, or they might seem hard to believe. I deeply believe that you’re holding this book in your hands for a reason, so listen to Paulo Coehlo’s advice:

If you really want something, the whole universe conspires to help you.

Let yourself be guided through this book. Practice listening to your intuition and open whatever page seems right. Souvenirs from the Soul of the World was designed for you to be able to read from cover to cover or browse through it and find whatever attracts you most at the moment. You know yourself, and what you need, best.

Give it a chance. Give life a chance. And most importantly, give yourself a chance.
