A Catalyst for Change

Therapy and personal growth

Eva Dillner's philosophy and training

Although my main focus is on writing, painting and traveling I do have space to see a few Shen Therapy clients, facilitate the odd Shen and beyond… retreat and teach the occasional course like Art with Eva.

Contact me to schedule a therapy session or book a workshop. A therapy session lasts 1.25 - 2 hours and costs 500 Swedish Crowns. If you organize a course you attend for free.

I'm a catalyst, a starter of your processes, I give you tools for life. Several years after a talk I can be told "the exercises you taught us were the most valuable from all the speakers who visited our organization. We still get together and do your meditations."

By the end of 1990 I was “burned out”. When I lost my job at the beginning of 1991, I started studying therapy and personal growth for my own development. I discovered the path back to life and have mostly trained with pioneers in the field from the US and Europe. Earlier I had worked in the US and France with project management and organizational re-engineering. I hold BS and MS degrees in Mechanical Engineering. All together, my studies in alternative therapies are equivalent to another Master's Degree.

Divine Design is of course the natural plan or solution, for the highest good. It is the name of my company, which I started in Paradis, Sweden in 1998. The writings of Florence Scovel Shinn and Emmet Fox were the inspiration behind the name.

My Educational Background

Shen Therapy is a healing method based on physics to release emotional and physical tensions in the biofield. It is one of the best therapies I've found to heal trauma and abuse. Like with so many other organizations, Shen has expanded into other names such as Kairos, EQ Bodywork, Biofield and Healing Therapies. To become a therapist takes 2-3 years of inner work, workshops and client sessions under the guidance of a mentor.

1991-1993, 1997-2002 Certified Shen Therapist and Teacher Training, from Seattle to Edinburgh and beyond…
Shen and beyond…

Hypnotherapy and Regressions are other methods to reach deeper levels of consciousness to release emotions, experience past lives or connect with soul between lives. Hypnosis is a natural state, simply a deeper level of relaxation than meditation. You are very relaxed, yet are able to hear and speak.

1992 Certifierad Hypnotherapist American Institute for Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP© A radical synthesis of Eastern and Western perspectives and techniques applied to the art and skill of hypnotherapy. Studied with Jack Elias, author of the internationally acclaimed book, "Finding True Magic: Transpersonal Hypnotherapy/NLP."
"The Journey" by Brandon Bays has the same purpose as Shen, but uses a different technique more like NLP and hypnosis. A key element of the Journey is the connection with Source.
1992 The Secret of Creating Your Future with Tad James (NLP). His book "Time Life Therapy" is one of the best books on hypnosis and NLP I've come across.
1992 Hawaiian Huna philosophy is closely related to NLP and hypnosis. It is one of the oldest traditions kept alive into modern time.
1999 Hawaiian Lomi-Lomi Massage, Annika Undeborn. The massage experience is much like going to Hawaii, gentle and relaxing, it opens up the life energy to release emotional and physical tension.
"Past Lives, Future Healing" by Sylvia Browne explores regressions to past lives. Her method gives excellent results for exploring current relationship issues and burning karmic ribbons.

Life Mission is a broad and deep subject that can include of course life mission but also intuition, NLP, astrology, Myers-Briggs, leadership etc

1994 - 1996 Gemstone Therapy was in reality an intensive course in learning to listen to and trust my intuition, to learn to let go and understand that I didn't need to know in my head what I was doing. One of my fellow students was Daenin Tejeda
1995 - 1997 Life Mission with Janene Jurgensen & Merrill-Jan McGee. I started as an apprentice and ended up co-facilitating this group.
1997 Personal Presence with Jane Hundley was a deep dive into my most limiting thought and the opposite, my most positive personal truth.
Astrology is an important tool in understanding why we are here. My favorite links with monthly updates are Henry Seltzer Time Passages Astrology - Planetary Cycles
The Michael Teachings, introduced with the Chelsea Quinn Yarbro book Messages from Michael is one of my favorite philosophies.
I spent several years learning about and using the Bach Flower Remedies. Energetically, they work much like the gemstone therapy. My favorite book is Bach Flower Therapy by Mechtild Sheffer.

Meditation is a natural state of consciousness we pass through between sleep and being awake. It helps us relax and be more in touch with our inner selves. There are many different ways to meditate and you need to test a few ways to find what works best for you. Come expererience meditation with and without music, breath and movement exercises, guided imagery, baasic vippassana, relaxation, concept and senses meditation.

1991-1993 Life Energy Fundamentals with Joan insui Giehl. Meditation, personal growth, life energy fundamentals, listen to the inner you with focus on mental, emotional, physical and spiritual presence. Since 1991 I meditate daily for 20 minutes. The lasting, deeper level of change comes after 1000 days, or three years.

Toning or Sound Healing can be anything from a playful exploration of name singing to sacral overtones. Explore chakra tones, turbo hugs, breath and movement exercises and HU song. HU is an ancient Tibetan chant that functions like the tuning fork of the soul. Toning helps you find your voice, open up your throat, connect better with your self and the two halves of the brain, deepens your breathing and helps you be here now.

1994 - 1998 Studied with several sound healing groups in Seattle. Sound Healers of Washington & Mute Stones Shall Sing with Marline Lesh & Awakening Voice with Diana Nielsen. Studied breath and movement exercises for personal presence developed by Jane Hundley and Chi Yi/Art of Breathing developed by Nancy Zi

Creative Dance (aka release dancing, therapeutic dance) is the most natural way for our bodies to connect deep inside and dance its own dance to rhythms from all over the world. Gabrielle Roth's ground breaking work is a part of this naturally therapeutic movement but there is much more.

1999 - 2002 Creative Dance with Karin Swanström and peer learning group with Anne Swahn
Further studies with Ingela Moser & Karin Swanström

Art of Now helps you let go and be the creative process and enter into whatever wants to happen. When I paint, all my training comes into play - I let my emotions flow, I use creative dance to enhance the process, I meditate and breathe, so that the energies can flow onto the canvas. My process becomes more than the principles of Vedic Art…

2000 Vedic Art Anita Lindström.
2001 - 2007 Peer learning group with Kristina Thurén.
Further studies with Curt Källman & Rinnie Crossler
