Episode 22: From Confusion To Direction - Modalities For Self-Navigation with Brynja Magnusson
In this episode:
Brynja Magnusson - author, illustrator and practitioner of energetics and mysticism, takes us on a journey to discover various modalities that can help us find purpose and direction. She shares her personal story of how animal totems, Human Design, I-Ching and Gene Keys helped her heal from trauma and chronic disease.
Orienting ourselves during times of change and darkness is particularly relevant right now. Navigating life well means understanding how to recalibrate how we relate to our surroundings as well as to our inner-selves. Brynja shows how practical these ancient and modern modalities can be, many of which are inspired by nature, and how they apply to both our physical health and emotional and mental wellbeing.
She delves into yin mysticism and the unintegrated and obscured part of all genders that holds the hidden keys to the one of the greatest misunderstood and untapped resource of our collective human existence. Learning how to have a different relationship with the unknown can bring more peace and wisdom into our lives.
About Brynja:
Brynja Magnusson is author and illustrator on topics of energetics, mysticism, and spirituality. During her apprenticeships in these modalities, she began creating illustrated guides to include others interested in pursuing the same niche areas of study. Creator of Animal Totems and the I Ching, the Human Design Deck, and Incarnation Cross: A Guidebook of Purpose Archetypes, Brynja publishes her own notes as a way of both learning and sharing. For 10 years she has been studying tools such as the I Ching, animal totem archetype, and healing modalities that address untreatable or undiagnosable chronic pain and illness. After several life-altering spiritual encounters in nature resulting in the recovery from chronic illness, the study of spirituality has been her sole focus and career through modalities such as Shamanic initiations, Eastern spirituality, manual therapies, Nahuatl ritual, and nature immersion.
A central goal in the disparate areas of Brynja’s work is using art to expose the lost or obscured tools of self-guidance and orientation. Being swept into confusion, disorientation, or chaos is an unavoidable aspect in the rhythm of life. However, these phases do not have to be viewed as bad or negative events. We can collect proven tools that provide us with ballast in the dark. With increasing awareness of the self and how nature consistently sends warnings and advice, we can experience these periods differently. The skills to find signs, messages, advice, guidance or direction can be cultivated through myriad systems. Humans of an early and wild earth labored over guidance systems that can be recalled and reused even in modern times. With practices of orientation in our tool belt, we can enter even the most nightmarish moments of darkness to not only find our way but also be enormously productive.
