Bij jezelf komen en ontdekken dat je krachtig bent
Wat veel mensen misschien niet weten is dat een belangrijk doel van yoga is: je te herinneren, weten, voelen, ervaren dat je meer bent dan je lichaam, je geest en emoties. Jouw verbondenheid met die grotere bron, je kan er geen woorden aan geven, je thuis voelen, heel en compleet. Een yogales is als een reis naar dit punt, de bron van kracht die in ons is. Gedurende een yogales ervaar je een scala aan emoties en sensaties, allerlei gewaarwordingen. Zo voel ik me bijvoorbeeld voor de les vaak gehaast, soms zelfs vol stress, ben in gedachten in verleden of…

Doen waar je van houdt
Recentelijk luisterde ik naar een interview met de succesvolle schrijver en spreker T. Harv Eker. In dit interview sprak hij over het belang van je passies leven en de rol van helderheid hierin. Ik deel hier met jou de belangrijkste punten uit dat interview in de hoop je te inspireren: Je kunt wel degelijk jouw passies (de dingen waar jij van houdt) combineren met geld verdienen, in elk geval binnen de arena waarvan jij gepassioneerd bent. Je zal nooit gaan slapen op een matras met spijkers erin, toch? Waarom niet? Omdat het heel oncomfortabel en zelf pijnlijk is. Het is krankzinnig…

Wanneer je helder bent
Janet Attwood zegt in het boek De Passietest: Wanneer je helder bent, dan zal wat je wil in je leven verschijnen, en alleen in díe mate waarin je helder bent! Vage ideeën geven vage resultaten. Niet voor niks zeggen ze “Clarity is Power”. Het verkrijgen van helderheid is niet iets wat je één keer doet; het is een doorlopend proces. Met de passietest en alle bijbehorende oefeningen heb je de instrumenten om die helderheid te creëren. Doe de passietest regelmatig en bekijk je Markers en Passiepagina’s af en toe om zonodig bij te stellen. De formule voor het leven van…

Coached by a horse
About half a year ago, one of my dearest friends wrote me an email about her life in Boulder, Colorado where she and her husband bought a ranch. She explained that they will start an ‘equine assisted psychotherapy’ center there. This means that a person connects with a horse and the horse mirrors the person, giving deep insights in the emotions and behavior of the person. I knew that a horse whisperer had trained my friend and I was intrigued by this coaching technique with horses. In addition my friend expressed that she lost many pounds because of her hard…

How To Be Happy
In order to be happy, you need to live in line with your heart. This is my conclusion after having spent 20 years and a ton of money on personal and spiritual development. Which was worth gold by the way! The best advice I ever received is “Follow you Joy!”, which means follow your passions, follow your heart. The things you love and that give you joy are to be found in your heart, not in your head. You heart holds the key. When you follow your heart, you will live an authentic life. When you live from your head…

Living Life Without A Compass
We all need a sense of purpose or direction in order to give meaning to our lives. Otherwise we live aimless, drifting like a boat on the sea with the wind blowing us in all different directions and we eventually may even hit the cliffs and end up shipwrecked. When we have no clear direction, we get easily distracted and influenced by other people. The risk of that is that you may live a life that is not reflecting who you are. Also, not having a purpose can make you feel depressed and dull inside. And the lack of direction…

Passion is incredibly important. The deep longing, the desire that springs from the heart of each person gives drive, motivation.

There is room for everyone to live the life they want. The most important reason why people don’t get what they want is because they don’t know what they want. If you are…

Things That Hold You Back
There are several things that can hold you back from living your passions. You might think that you don’t have any passions because you don’t have big dreams. Please realize this: Your dreams don’t need to be big. Whatever it is that makes you feel happy is perfect. Janet Attwood says in her book The Passion Test: What you want and God’s will for you are one and the same. You are deserving and meant to live a life of joy and fulfillment. I say: What I want for you is what you want for you. No matter how small…
