Your possibilities:
Transformational coaching
My role is to help you on your path to personal growth.
This inquiry probes deeper into the question of “who am I?”
The sessions
During our sessions, of 50minutes we will use different methods to find out what’s holding you back or what are the roadblocks on your path forward. We will also focus on rehoning your efforts to reach the goals you’re targeting.
You will emerge from this process able to develop a greater sense of yourself and do understand the difference between YOU and your thoughtsdiscover solutions to challenges you’re up against. You will develop an action plan, and I will help you develop the motivation to take action.
Transformational coaching works with (negative) beliefs of the ego
Our ego labels experiences as negative, bad or dangerous and these beliefs are often rooted in our foundation and believed to be true. Our mind, our body and our spirit respond to this perceived ‘truth’ as being reality.
We then develop unconscious behaviors and thoughts that move us away from your inner knowing and we find ourselves acting in fear instead of from (self-)love.
During the sessions we are looking for the way back to your authentic state of being. Living in full presence, energetically attuned to yourself, to intuition and connection to the universe. Together we uncover your ego’s reactions and develop habits coming from your true self instead.
Mindfulness
Unwindfulness
'Mindfulness is a way of befriending ourselves and our experience ' - Jon Kabat-Zinn
And that is exactly what we are focusing on in the course. You will learn the difference between yourself and your thoughts and that you have a great influence on your physical and psychological health.
The course
During the lessons we will do a lot of focus exercises and learning to be in the here and the now. The exercises include a walking meditation, a chocolate meditation, a coffee or tea meditation and more. We will ‘zoom in’ on the littlest things and experience the most ordinary tasks or thing in a mindful manner.
Result of the course
Studies have shown that meditation and mindfulness have many positive effects. Examples are being less agitated or anxious, stress reduction, lowering blood pressure, being able to cope with emotions, accepting things we cannot change and being more compassionate with ourselves and others. And you will be able to profit from those benefits.
Meditation
Growing inside
To me, meditation means to go inward, focus on what is going on inside of me. And in contrast to deep thought, we are not listening to our brain but letting go of that. We are constructed of the body, the mind and the soul, and in our time the mind has all the power. Let’s find ways to listen to the soul and body a lot more.
The Course
Some people have an image of a cross-legged monk who sits and chants for hours. I want you to let that go. Especially if you find the thought of sitting for a long time and thinking of nothing to be a challenging thoughts.
Everyday people with jobs or family or responsibilities are not even capable of not-having thoughts.
You can find so many ways to meditate. Think about postures, places to meditate and forms of meditation. During our course, we will explore a couple of possibilities such as focus sessions, walking meditations and breathing exercises. We will look at the topics of judgement, manifestations and the law of attraction.
You will keep a diary and you will have some homework from me to test out practices and track your progress.
