I studied Kundalini Yoga at Ra Ma Mallorca and it was very transformational for me and woke me up to remembering gifts from many previous lifetimes as a spiritual practitioner, priestess and a yogi. 

I’ve been doing this for many lifetimes.

I am a professional astrologer and I have been studying astrology and numerology, mysticism and philosophy, both western and eastern, for the last 20 some years. 

My secret goal in life has always been enlightenment, the great awakening. To experience God. To understand life, the universe and everything.

Let’s just say that’s a work in progress…

I love Kundalini Yoga and teaching it brings me immense joy. I feel like I have finally hit gold after decades of searching. Kundalini yoga  is the yoga of awareness, a Raja yoga (royal yoga). It is a masterful technique to bring you closer to your essence, your soul. It is also  a householder yoga, perfect for people with a busy schedule that still want to develop a powerful spiritual practice.

Again, Kundalini yoga is something I remember having practiced many times before.

I have another website The Sacred Way where I sometimes post about the things I find that fascinate me. 

I am also a professional musician and have released a couple of albums, collaborated with many artists and written scores for theatre productions and films. I have another website Jara Karlsdottir where you can find my music.

I started a company in 2020 with a friend  from Brazil that I met as an astrology client. We created Tungl dagbók, a moon and astrological planner in Icelandic. With all kinds of helpful information about the lunar cycles, astrology, menstruation and herbal lore. You can check it out here Tungl.co.

I have also worked all kinds of jobs along the way, a journalist at Iceland’s biggest newspaper, a sound engineer at the National theatre of Iceland, a specialist at the ministry of education and culture, a whale watching guide. I’ve worked in nursing homes and in childcare, cleaned hotel rooms and worked in record stores, cafes and bars. Worked as a copy writer at a record company and many other unusual jobs. 

Part of my journey has been to overcome childhood abuse and the trauma it inflicted upon me. It lead me to  enter into two physically abusive relationships as an adult. 

I became a mother at 21 and again at 31 fortunately their fathers are lovely.

After the birth of my first child I had a near death experience while coming very close to death from childbirth.

I lost my brother, my closest family to suicide the same year I had my firstborn. He was 2 years younger than me. The same year I lost 5 other friends and family members to all the ways humans die, except none of them was killed. 

This year was like an initiation into death. 

I suffered from depression, anxiety and PTSD and C-PTSD for a long time.

I tried all kinds of psychotherapy and psychotropics on my healing journey.

I sometimes feel like before I came here I decided to try out as much as I could of the more devastating parts of the human experience.

It was hard.

But it was also a great lesson. I have endless compassion for my fellow humans. I know that we are all fighting our own battles and it’s impossible to know what another is going through except maybe if they tell you.

I know that having gone through all that I went through and to have come out on the other end, happy, content, full of life and love for this planet and everyone on it is a great gift.

And for the rest of my life I intend to use this gift to serve the world the best I can.

I also know, from experiences and visions that this life is not this purely material thing extreme materialism has led way to many of us to believe.

Life is magical. 

Life goes on after we die. Death is just a transformation. 

Only love is truly real. 

If you are reading this, know you are loved by the Divine that moves through everything.

Don’t let anyone or anything let you believe that you are small and insignificant. You are infinitely big and equally as important as every single human being in the universe.

I have made it my business to take every single human being into my heart and am in a process of growing my heart to better fit all of you in there. I am working on an infinitely big heart.

With so much love,
