Sparring Partner

Increase your sense of well-being in every day life by improving the quality of your connections with yourself, with the people around you and with ‘nature’. Through a combination of increasing awareness and step by step acceptance.

By experience I know how long it can take to do this on your own. Not only to discover what is needed but also to integrate your insights into your every day life.

By acting as your sparring partner and sharing my own experiences and insights, your awareness around whatever separates you from this natural state of being might come sooner. And gradually removing the roadblocks that hinder your progress might be easier.

Step 1. Re-discover openness and acceptance

The good news is there is no need to create a natural purpose in life. Your life will gradually unfold itself to whatever it is meant to be. Each next step is waiting close by to be discovered. Main effort lies in creating the space needed for them to show themselves to you. 

Step 2. Identify your personal roadblocks

Next challenge is to identify whatever hinders you to actually take this next step. Especially if there is no direct crisis that creates a helpful sense of urgency. But if you stay curious and trust the process it will gradually become clear to you.

Step 3. Clear your roadblocks one by one

For each roadblock there are many tools that can help you. I can support you in finding the peace and stillness required for this quest and in determining which tool could be useful for you at any one point in time. Up to the point of letting go.
