WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL
|
In WONDERFULLY BEAUTIFUL there is a call to women to respond to their depths! The mysteries in this book invite you to become full, to open to another being, to love and respect, to understand and feel yourself and heal your scars, to shake off the hurts and learn to set boundaries, and to step out of the cage of fear and embrace your feminine power.
Nine stories, interwoven with mysticism and healing, speak about the women's initiation path - a path that leads to the deep self. This is a deeply felt and powerful journey of knowing your body, soul, heart, mind, and feminine power within.
Lessons with the nine Miracle Herbs – Wormwood, Rose, Frankincense, Chamomile, Hazelnut, Fire Flower, Juniper, Oak Moss and Amber. Ancient tales, myths of Gods and Goddesses, meditations, soul practices and a true experience of the mysteries.
It is WONDERFUL.

THIRTEEN DREAMERS
|
The intention of the book THIRTEEN DREAMERS | Tales of the Plant Gods is to look at the world of plants with different eyes. It encourages you to discover the world's Plant traditions for yourself, to look at your powerful heritage from a different point of view. These are personal stories of encounters with Plant Souls, whose call is to change the Western worldview in which Nature is deprived of Soul and Consciousness.
The book was written during the pilgrimage of the Soul in different parts of Heaven - the jungles of South America, the forests of the North, the temples of the East, the steppes of the West. It was stimulated and helped to form by direct experience and work in shamanic ceremonies, as well as conversations and studies with
shamans and wise men in different parts of the world. Banned in many places, cherished in others as the most powerful medicine, the Herbs of the Gods form the basis of this book's travels.
Ayahuasca of Mother Earth, Sacred Mushrooms of Heaven, Northern Mugwort, Eastern Lotus - these are just some of the Plant Masters met by the Plant mystic ININ NINI, whose stories invite us to meet again and connect with the power of the Earth. This book is designed to heal the Heart and bring it back to the Beginning.

“This universe is growing, and so is its complexity, nuance, and ingenuity. Plants are much closer to the beginning than we humans are. In a much greater connection with Mother Earth. Plants have access to pure, clear, uncorrupted and untranslated consciousness. This is exactly what they teach us - purity, connection, being", is how ININ NINI herself tells about her experience in the book.
The co-author of the book THIRTEEN DREAMERS is the photographer Inga Plūme, who has embodied the faces of people in powerful photographs, in which the power of plants stirs. The people seen in the photograph are those who have dared to follow a different path of self-discovery, working and learning from the Plants in a ceremonial way.
The signs in the book are ININ NINI's own sacred vision of the Soul of each Plant. The author of the design is the artist Everita Upeniece.

ANGEL'S TRUMPET. DEVIL'S BREATH
|
THE ANGEL’S TRUMPHET, THE DEVIL’S BREATH Stories by ININ NINI | Images by JANA BRIĶE There is no boundary between the internal and the external. No dividing line between a night’s dream and the light of day. All worlds are connected. They interact, bringing you ever closer to yourself. Time spins in a spiral, bringing you closer to the centre, the origin and conclusion of everything, occasionally drawing away, and then compacting again. This journey is infinite. It repeats itself time and time again, every time in a different way.
This is the story of my initiation over the course of many lifetimes in countries near and far, in the jungles of South America and Northern marshes, in the temples of India and Indonesia, as well as in other worlds.
The story of praying for my true path to be revealed to me, my encounter with the souls of the Gods’ Plants, my initiation in darkness and resurrection with a renewed voice. The discovery and recognition of true darkness and light. Meeting him, who cannot be called by name, face to face. Him, whose face I prayed for, as if I’d never seen it, at the same time knowing that this is the only way I could illuminate the path for myself and others.
A golden thread wends and weaves its way through the patterns of existence – the deepest desire and yearning of my soul to repeatedly encounter that which I know so inexplicably deeply, and for whose sake I could walk ten thousand miles with tortured feet, stop and, despite the excruciating pain, once again walk on, and on, and on. Each of us owns more lives than we can possibly remember in which we have been both despots and victims.
At the same time, each life is an opportunity to unfurl a space between both of these aspects. This is known as free will, which resonates and quietly rustles like a path like the trail left in the black earth by the figure of a snake. The path is set, but we set it ourselves, writhing this way and that way, from evil into goodness, and from light into darkness. Linear time does not exist within me and events follow their own inimitable pattern. Supernatural and vulgar. Counted on the fingers of one hand, and yet endless. From the depths and roots of the earth, through its trunk, right up to the Crown, with fingertips reaching up to sky, which touches the Sun, Moon and Stars. And onwards through lives and dreams beckons the story of my courage, insecurity, wandering, death and resurrection. This is the story of my love. Through me, it is the story of the Gods.
Not everything in this story can be grasped with one’s mind, not everything has a discernible beginning and end. This is the story of ecstasy and ordinary everyday crumbs, melted into one. I have recorded these dreams to unlock your strength and memory of what you really are. This is my diary, my notes, my obtuseness, and, perhaps, my beauty.
Let my path of remembering show you the way to yours!
