15 Signs You Are A Dakini

I would like to tell you something about the second part of my artist name, Lauri Dakini. A Dakini is a female messenger of wisdom.The name translates as 'she who traverses the sky' or 'she who moves in space' or, more poetically, as 'sky walker' or 'sky dancer'. The term comes from Tibetan Buddhism. 

In my vision a Dakini is like some kind of a guru in the form of an energy that can manifestate in all of us. She is a sharp mirror for her surroundings, playfull and changable. As many Hindu-deities she can be both cruel and loving. The Dakini is like a vessel for non-intellectual truth.

1 You are easily creative, using the materials and possibilities you have. You know how to use play just for fun, but also as a surviving-strategy
2 You know intuitively how to invoke the Dakini-energy when you have to accomplish something challenging. You do this with music, dancing, smoking inscence, you just know how to raise your vibe untill you are at the Dakini-level!
3. You often feel like something bigger than yourself flows through you.
4. You are playfull and sponteneous. Personally I feel now as a grown-up somehow more in touch with my inner-child, It´s Dakini wisdom unfolding.
5 You inspire others and you love this! And you love it just as much when others are a Dakini for you..
6. Sometimes you say things without thinking that change the whole vibe around you. It can be both bring shock or healing. No this is not just because of hormones. You are mirroring like a Dakini.
7. You don´t always take yourself too seriously. You can laugh about yourself.  You know the little you that can be described with a story is not really you. Nothing would describe you the best. Or the gentle smile on your face now..
8. You are familiar with the experience of losing the ground under your feet. (And this is one of the main reasons you do not take yourself too seriously!) You were in situations where you thought to know what it was all about but than suddenly it came completely different.
9. You know your emotions are like waves that come and go that´s why you can have inner peace while at the same time you are crying your eyes out.
10. When you reach ´empty space´ you feel at home.
11. You are not afraid of death because the process of rebirth is familiar to you.
12. Boxes are not made for you. You can not define ´who you are´ or ´what you do´ in one single job or profession. You can be like a child each day dressing up as a different creature.
13. Because you want it all! And you know you can! (be a mother, be both an angel and a geisha, a painter and a dancer, you can clean and repair your car, write a book or make money by selling vegan ice-cream, become super-elastic, drive on your bike for thousands of kilometers and always feel guided and so on and so on.
14, Yes, you know your possibillities are neverending..15. You know you are one with nature.You are not ashamed of your naked body and it does not disturb you to see others naked. 
I hope my words about the Dakini were a nice mirror for you. Please leave a comment with your thoughts coming up, add something or question something. I love you!
