Day 16
During the night, I had long and intense dreams, experiencing otherworldly live stories that seemed to be on different planets. Some of the people I met were in some form of symbiosis with other beings who were sharing their life together, fulfilling each other's needs. It felt all super...
Day 15
After a night of integrating, I went for a slow walk through the fields and felt like a little child, exploring nature for the first time. It felt so special to me because now, Jago was with me. And also, this was the first day of real sunshine and blue sky after about two weeks of rainy...
Day 14
What a wonderful, quiet night with so many dreams! As there was no one around me rushing out of their beds, I took my time in the morning, heading out after the rain around 9:00.
There was an internal discussion happening if I should carry the heavy backpack up to Pico Sacro, as a...
Day 13
Thanks to the great space with good privacy and earplugs, I had a good night with many deep and long dreams. As I was in no rush, I stayed a bit longer in the morning, just reflecting and resting. When I opened my bed curtains and got up, most other pilgrims were already gone.
While...
Day 12
As my boat from Vilanova de Arousa was only going at 10:30 in the morning and it was raining, I slept and rested for the first time until 8:00, followed by waiting and resting some more!
When I left the really nice private albergue with only six beds per room and free usage of the...
End of Day 11:
In the cafeteria, I met my dear friend and learned once again, that there is really nothing one can do when we observe that a fixed and settled mind does not match the signals and emotional frequencies that we perceive. It's like two different languages are spoken at the same...
Day 11
I started my walk a bit before 7:00, happy to get out of the nice, but for me much too crowded and tight public albergue. I felt like a sardine in a tin, not pleasant. It was great to feel my own energies again while walking!
This was the very best nature walk on the whole trail...
Day 10 - Part Two
As I felt like walking a bit more, I had a visit at the nearby monastery and then went back up the hill into the woods, taking the small trails. Beautiful! 😍🌻💜
Day 10
It's nice to sometimes have a dormitory with eight beds just for yourself. This night, I shared one with a female pilgrim from central america. As I was the only man in the hostel, all the other women were placed in another room.
Dreams are for me just as important as what people call...
Day 9
Yesterday, I talked with a fellow pilgrim about lucid dreams (becoming fully aware of the dreaming state while dreaming), and that I find it so difficult to train for having them more often. It must have stirred something, the next night I had two of them, but only for a short time.
In...
Day 8
So far, my shortest walk, about 16 km to Arcade de Riba. But as it had some steeper pathways up and down again, it turned out to be the perfect length, as I felt quite tired afterwards.
Although deeper processes can be felt and worked with by walking alone, I asked a woman at the hostel...
Day 7
There were several options for this next part after Tui. I decided to walk for a bit more than 20 kilometres to reach my first public albergue in Mós. With the time difference between Portugal and Spain, it was the first time I started while it was still dark. And guess what? It was...
Day 6
The rain was on and off today, which meant changing the jacket often, as it quickly got too warm when a bit of sun came out.
I walked alone again, with only brief encounters of other pilgrims. The night before, I had some awake times and used it to inwardly ask for more information about...
Here some photos from my day. As the rain kept coming back, I couldn't always take the mobile out, otherwise I would have taken even more. Apart from my struggles, the nature sights were wonderful.
Day 5
My worst day so far, emotionally and physically. My friend from Tenerife wanted to walk alone, which also felt right for me to process some things better.
And then there was my Camino friend, we met at the first private albergue and had been booking the same accomodations for the next...
