About me
My name is Wilma Vermij. I am a light bearer, human being and caregiver, in that order. In my work and life, the heart connection plays a role, intuitive knowing and the desire for more purity in myself and others play an increasing role.
My process
From an early age I was searching for "something" that I didn't know what it was. I didn't feel at home in the world but adapted. Much of my sensitivity and intuition I put away. As a result, I often felt disconnected from myself as well as from others.
Also early on I was interested in various spiritual movements and these have led me step by step into the process of remembering. Among others, I have been inspired by Pathwork, Eckhart Tolle, A Course in Miracles, Sufism and various non-duality movements.
Within me has slowly but surely grown a deep knowing about the Being that we are. That Being exists on many levels simultaneously, both physically and energetically and also purely spiritually, as consciousness. Inner clarity has guided me on this path. I discovered that we don't have to become anything, we all already are, HERE and NOW. To dare to trust this more and more and allow it into the body, that for me is what healing is all about at its core. I also discovered that by sharing this knowing, it keeps deepening. Sharing makes it a reality after all.
In this process I have gone through all kinds of feelings such as fear, sadness, anger, depression, hopelessness, resistance, guilt, shame and pain. And still I can encounter these feelings when another piece of healing takes place. All feelings are present in us both individually and collectively. We cannot avoid them if we want to fully discover who and what we are. It took me a long time to see that these feelings were not a badge of inadequacy or yet another proof that I was once again not good enough. Annoying feelings are simply the energetic and physical reactions to incorrect beliefs about ourselves and life or the side effects of patterns that no longer serve us. When they come up, it is an indication that something is asking to be seen, with attention, compassion and trust.
Each person I give healing to is a mirror for me. What is touched in you is often touched in me in some way as well. We all long to remember deeper and deeper who and what we really are. This remembering we do together. We need each other in this.
My background
Occupational Therapy
In 1983, I completed a course in occupational therapy. Occupational therapy is a paramedical profession and in this profession you learn to look at people holistically. Every so-called problem has various aspects, both in the person himself and in the system around him. We learned to include all those aspects in dealing with a problem. I worked as an occupational therapist from 1984 to 2021, with intervals in between exploring other careers. Eventually I shifted my attention and interest more and more from problem-solving to being present with love and attention to another person, from doing to being. In the end, occupational therapy no longer fit with that.
Currently, in addition to the practice Aegle Healing, I have a self-employed company for individual counseling at home, Thuisbegeleiding Westfriesland. In that work I try to integrate being present with myself and the other as much as possible so that eventually work is no longer something I do but becomes part of what I am.
Alternative medicine
For decades I have been interested in, what is called, alternative medicine. In 1994 I completed a course in holistic massage and between 1999 and 2007 I had a home massage practice. I am interested in healthy eating and non-regular solutions to illness. In my own family I used a lot of homeopathy for all kinds of ailments of the various family members and then I became interested in herbal medicine.
Energetic work
Between my massage training and now, my interest went more and more to the energetic approach. Between 2001 and 2021, I attended various energetic trainings such as Reiki I and II, Avatar of Synthesis, Rigpa Energetic Healing I and II and Dharma Shamanic Healing I.
This opened up my heart and intuitive channels more and more. In support of this, I took intuitive development training in 2021 and a training in aura and chakra healing in 2022.
Currently I am doing a reading course and have been giving healings for another two years, most of them remotely.
Daarnaast werk ik met de energie van kristallen. De aarde heeft ons prachtige helende frequenties gegeven die opgeslagen liggen in de diverse edelstenen.
Sound also has my interest. Sound is frequency and thus touches the basis of our being. I have been singing with great pleasure for many years and feel more and more that my voice wants to participate in the healing process through the making of sound. This process is still evolving.
Why the name Aegle Healing?
The name Aegle is derived from the Ancient Greek Αἴγλη (Aíglē) and means "brightness, splendor, radiance, dazzling light, radiant." It is the light that heals us.
In mythology, Aegle is one of the Hesperides. They were nymphs who cared for the golden apples of immortality. Aegle is the radiant one who polishes the golden apples until they shine with heavenly light.
Aegle is also known as the daughter of Helios, the sun, and in other stories as the daughter of Asclepius, the Greek God of medicine. In this role, she is seen as the goddess of good health.
I chose the name Aegle because I believe it is the Light itself that heals us, I am just the channel. And it is my heart's desire to help you make space for your Light so you can become the radiant one you are.
On a more earthy note, Aegle Marmelos (Bael) is the name of a rare species of tree found on the Indian subcontinent and in Southeast Asia. The tree bears golden fruits and is considered sacred by Hindus.
