About
I am Marie Lindström, based in Sweden. The more Marie I become, and less distortion and shadow, the more just divine design that is there.
I started out as many of us do, seeking fulfillment through doing, achieving and living up to external expectations.
I was a high-achieving engineer and product designer (think Electrolux and IKEA) but it didn’t provide the happiness I longed for. Something important was missing.
The deeper longing for true fulfillment, inner peace and grace motivated me and guided my way long before I realized what I was seeking.
The turns of life, especially a burn out, meeting death and having children, changed me and who I thought I had to be.
I turned within through yoga and self-reflection.
The longing became clearer and more spiritual.
I wanted the highest truth, and ultimate inner peace.
Through the challenges of relationships, intuitive initiations and mysterious empowerments, the awakening of Kundalini and maturation of consciousness, following periods of dissolution, realisation and transcendence became profound paradigm shifting experiences that changed this me forever.
Knowing yourself as existence has many names; enlightenment, Self-realization, God realization, illumination, but from my experience, I’d like to claim that it is not the realization itself that is the most important thing, although the most profound, nor is it the end of the path, but to integrate this new knowing, energy and grace, wisely and responsibly is more important than anything.
Looking back I can see that my spiritual journey led me through many yogic landscapes:
the devotion of Bhakti yoga, the discipline of Ashtanga yoga, mindfulness, meditation and Self-inquiry of Gyan yoga, and eventually I found myself given a role as a Shaktipat Acharya within a nondual lineage and spiritual community, and in inner and outer marriage with the Guru.
That experience, while sincere in its offering, became a mirror, showing me the edges of hierarchy and limiting structure, the subtleties and dangers of spiritual bypassing and distorted teachings, and the truth of my own inner authority.
This 7 year long chapter clarified inner truth and awakened integrity and sovereignty - deep within my heart and cells. It also deepened my discernment and affirmed that spiritual pursuit needs to go hand in hand with personal growth and human values such as kindness, compassion, empathy and honor.
For a couple of years free from lineage, on my own, intimately attuned to inner devotion and Grace, I served in the most authentic way I could. Through Shaktipat/transmissions of grace, offering activation, attunement and mentorship.
Meanwhile, Clarity had not finished unfolding through me, and I found myself deepening in the explicit visceral knowing of union of form and formless, body and my surrounding, embodiment of god consciousness, and the transmission transformed into a Silent Darsán. All words of guidance silenced and now what is offered is of the clearest and purest there has been through this one me. I lay down my knowing at the feet of the divine and move in clarity and truth one with the field of god.
I no longer activate energy and hold space for its unfoldment.
Neither am I guiding consciousness into regions of healing or seeing.
Sitting with me reveals the underlying space, the unborn peace.
Dissolution.
And Unity.
Without cushioning.
In truth.
