Als je veelvuldig meditatie beoefend, vindt je wachten misschien nu veel makkelijker dan voorheen. Maar toch… het is vaak niet onze favoriete bezigheid. Al helemaal niet in de setting van een wachtkamer bij een dokter of tandarts. Het is geschreven om het wachten wat aangenamer te maken.

Dit boekje beschrijft de wonderlijke wereld van de wachtkamer en haar bijzondere tijdelijke bewoners en passanten. Lees de korte verhalen en beken en ontken welk type jij zelf bent. Met welke types omring jij je weleens in de wachtkamer?

Uiteraard zijn de stereotypes met een grote knipoog beschreven, de verhalen en bijbehorende gedichten van De Perkamentdichter spreken tot de verbeelding.

Bovendien staat er een leuke wacht/meditatie oefening in het boekje!

Balance Your Soul offers private meditation & mindfulness classes.

Training the mind should be as ‘normal’ as training the body. 

A lot of people would like to start with meditation sessions to clear or calm the mind. But how do you start? How do you get the most results? What are the exact benefits from meditation?

To get started with meditation we offer some guided meditations.  We can include different techniques in our sessions;  such as vipassana meditation, body scan, dynamic meditation, walk meditation, osho dynamic meditation, kids meditation, mindful movements, Qi Gong, etc.

Meditation sessions can be completed with a mindfulness part: What is here and now? How can we live in the present moment and less in the past or future? How do we deal with anxiety and stress in our lives? 

Did you know that with help of meditation and mindfulness you can loose weight and stop smoking more easy? 

Next to the 1-on-1 meditations, we offer group meditation sessions in Almere, once a month and there are group meditation sessions in Spain as well. In case you would like to receive the program overview please send a request to sanne@balanceyoursoul.nl

Wow…. you’re in your 40’s dip?

This can feel as a rollercoaster of emotions..

Almost everyone has a breaking point in his or her life.

Usually this breaking point in life poses an important question:
Is this it?
What do I really want?
Why do I feel out of balance?
Do I want to continue in my relationship or work?
Should something change in my relationship and / or work?

Maybe you go through a very deep valley to be able to grow to the very best version of YOU.

Do not think too negative about these feelings. Celebrate this breaking point in your life because this means you will learn and grow!

Are you going to embrace this breakpoint or are you going to ignore it?

Lots of love, Sanne

Did you know that many physical complaints are symptoms of stress?

Most often heard in my practice: headaches, low energy, insomnia, back and shoulder pains.

Stress is everywhere and can have a negative effect on the body and mind.

Every person is unique and has different stress symptoms, most important is to recognize these symptoms and the willingness to change it for the better!

An effective method is to use deep-breathing exercises to reduce stress. Try this simple exercise and practice often:

• Sit in a straight-back chair with both feet on the floor.
• Rest hands on the abdomen.
• Slowly count to four while inhaling through the nose and feel the abdomen rise.
• Hold that breath for two seconds.
• Then, slowly count to six while exhaling through the mouth—let the abdomen slowly fall.
• Repeat this exercise 5 to 10 times.
