I am the Black Puma, forming a team together with Rozemarijn.
In physical earthly form I’m known as a mountain lion. A puma isn’t normally black — they’re light brown — but in the energetic world anything is possible, and my presence is most clearly felt as a black puma.
The first time I appeared to Rozemarijn was during her very first shamanic healing. Many fears surfaced in that session, inviting me to let out a feline roar. When a human is ready to face something, it can be necessary to call on their inner strength
As energy, I live just above the navel — the center of inner power. I often appear as a lazy cat resting in a tree or on a rock, peacefully napping in the sun, tail gently swaying. At the same time, I’m fully aware of my territory. Sometimes Rozemarijn sits beside me and together we look out over the valley.
I only hunt when I feel it’s time to act — when a prey enters my territory and I sense the impulse to move. My inner nature knows exactly when the right moment arrives. Then I am fast, agile, and I use my strength with precision.
This is the energy I bring forward together with Rozemarijn: the inner power and calm to know exactly when to act — and to act with clarity and efficiency.
I shared an important message with Rozemarijn through this video (click the link if you want to watch it). It tells the story of a black cat named Diablo. Diablo refused to leave his night shelter and trusted no one. The animal communicator approached him with calm, open energy and the ability to truly listen. When she explained that nothing was expected of him, Diablo relaxed. He asked for a new name: Spirit. Shortly after their conversation, he stepped out of the shelter and felt at ease in his surroundings.
I showed this video to Rozemarijn to make our purpose clear. Anyone living in fear is welcome to step out of their night shelter — simply by being with what is, and by softening expectations. From Diablo to Spirit. From darkness to light. From unnatural to natural.
I can also be strict. With my yellow eyes I pierce straight through all stories and excuses. We go directly to the core, with power. You may not realize it yet, but that’s why you came. It is an honor to work with you.
