12,5 year anniversary

12.5 years anniversary

12,5 years

Today I celebrate the copper anniversary of my practice.
 
Gosh, I can still remember how enthusiastic and buzzing with energy I felt when I walked out of the Chamber of Commerce on March 16, 2010 with a pile of papers that officially made me an independent entrepreneur.
 
How quickly those 12.5 years have gone by and at the same time, what growth and changes the practice and I have experienced in recent years.
 
Feels like a good time to look back at all the special moments and to be aware of this enormous growth.
 
* From a start as a naturopathic practice to the transition to a coaching practice as of January 1, 2019.
 
* From working in and on my practice 2 days a week in addition to a job, to working full-time as an independent entrepreneur since January 2018.
 
* Receiving my first clients feeling a bit unsure, to knowing what I have to offer my clients with full confidence and experience.
 
* From ‘meeting all the rules of the health insurers’ to be taken seriously as a therapist and to be (partially) reimbursed, to the freedom of working with people who are willing to invest in themselves and discover that this investment in money for most people also equates to an investment of time and energy which makes the results so much greater.
 
* As the first in Limburg (and third in the Netherlands) I worked with a Quantum response body scan, without being able to really explain how it worked, but I just knew that it was a unique tool to give people insight into the patterns and energetic imbalances that create and maintain their complaints, while now science has caught up and can finally ‘prove’ how it works and there are now many comparable systems on the market and used by colleagues.
 
* From having no idea how creating a website and marketing works, to building and maintaining my own website (and enjoying it too), because I always thought ‘everything is figuroutable’ and one learns by doing.
 
* From being super proud of my first diploma to now having a whole drawer full of diplomas and certificates and I don’t even think these papers are that important anymore.
After all, knowledge is only valuable when you apply it and the endless supply of books I’m reading every year keeps adding to this infinite cycle of collecting knowledge and then applying it in my life.
 
* How for more than a year, I combined a job of 24 hours a week with 2 days of working in my practice and a bachelor’s degree in basic medical knowledge and renovating an entire house with my own hands. 
A period that taught me that anything is possible when you have the right mindset and live in alignment.
 
What a special time to look back on (and secretly be a little proud of 🥰)
 
I would therefore like to thank all my (former) clients for their trust and willingness to invest in themselves in recent years and I will continue to keep growing and leading the way in the coming years to be of service to you 💕
 
Check out what special offers I have available until the end of September to celebrate this milestone by visiting my webshop
Dragonfly

Transformation

, , , , , , , ,

What an amazing experience to see how the larva of this dragonfly climbs out of the water and then bursts from its skin and transforms into a beautiful dragonfly.
 
Makes sense that the spiritual meaning of the dragonfly is transformation and the gift to adapt to circumstances.
 
We are always evolving. We grow and change and experience many periods of minor and major transformation throughout our lives.
 
When we notice that the life we’ve created no longer fits the development we have gone through…
 
When we become conscious that our beliefs won’t get us where we really want to be…
 
When we feel trapped in a life that no longer feels like our own…
 
When our body ‘tells’ us that we no longer live in alignment with the path that our soul desires…
 
The most important thing you need in such a growth phase (and the entire planet is in a major growth phase right now!) is a deep understanding of the skills needed to navigate change in a powerful and deliberate way.
 
When I look back at my life, I can recognize many phases of growth.
In those phases I turned inward, reconnected with myself and my desires and ‘did the work’ to let go of the beliefs that no longer served me, to heal the traumas of the past and to focus on the life I wanted.
 
Sometimes alone, sometimes with the guidance of a coach / mentor. Someone who helped me to become aware more quickly of what was ready to be healed and guided me through the difficult moments.
Just like I do for my clients ❤
 
And just like looking at this dragonfly, with every coaching program that I guide my clients through, I feel an enormous gratitude to witness such a special transformation process.
 
PS: are you experiencing a growth process and need a little extra support or would you like to develop more resilience, please contact me to discover the possibilities.
Orchid

Patience rewards itself

, , , , , , ,

I bought this orchid 2 years ago and enjoyed its beautiful flowers for weeks…  and then there were only 3 leaves left that I regularly provided with fresh water.
 
I had patience, because I trusted on ‘what you water grows’.
 
And see now, after almost 2 years of patience, I am rewarded with a new beautiful flower.
 
As a Generator type in Human Design, I know that being patient can sometimes be very difficult and Ron as a Manifesting Generator finds it even more difficult than I do. 
 
The Human design strategy for (manifesting) Generator types is to respond.
To wait … to not initiate anything but wait for the right time and some sort of sign to respond to.
 
That requires trust. Trust that what is aligned for you will show up and that you will know when the time is right to respond.
 
Even though this goes against everything I’ve always been taught, and it doesn’t always feel right when you’re impatient like me, I can now say from experience that living your strategy does make your life a whole lot easier.
 
And…. strategy is only a small part of your Human design profile.
 
The more I live from and trust in my Human Design, the easier things go.
 
The more possibilities I see
The easier I make decisions
The better I get to know myself
The easier I communicate
 
Do you want to know what your Human Design looks like and get to know yourself better?
 
I am now a certified Quantum Human Design Practitioner TM and can explain your unique design in a personal session and give you lots of insight and coaching on how you can start to live from your design and make your life easier.

Addicted to stress

, , ,

I used to be an addict. 
Not the kind of addict that people judge or at least frown upon. 
But the kind of addict that people kind of support in our modern 24-hour work society, because being addicted to stress also means you can get a lot of work done in a very short time.

Adrenaline does that for you. You feel great, butterflies in your stomach, you can think really clear, have loads of energy and you\’re at the top of your game.

I have always loved the pressure of waiting until the very last moment before I would do what needed to be done.

I was the kid that stared out of the window for the first 20 minutes of doing a test and then I answered all off the questions in a surge of adrenaline in the final minutes before the bell rang. I loved that feeling in my belly.

I got addicted to it. 
Addicted to adrenaline.
Addicted to stress.

If you know anything about human design and genekeys, you won\’t be surpised that stress is in my hologenetic profile, twice!

And no surprise, I manifested all kinds of situations in my life that caused me stress. My adrenal glands were working overtime.

But living on adrenaline also has a downside. Our bodies are not made to deal with a constant surge of adrenaline and cortisol. Adrenaline is great for situations that require a fight-flight response but let\’s be honest, these days we don\’t really need to survive on a daily basis. We don\’t need adrenaline pumping through our veins 24/7. It causes all kinds of physical and mental problems, like burnout (adrenal fatigue), sleeping disorders, high bloodpressure and weight gain and hairloss.

It\’s not easy to quit producing adrenaline. It\’s not the same as to quit smoking, which I did about 15 years ago. I just decided to quit and stopped buying cigarettes (and yes, it can be that easy, a real decision is that powerful!)

Adrenaline is an inside factor and it takes some time to condition your body into changing the chemical cocktail it produces for you on a daily basis.
It\’s kind of a self-supporting system. Your body produces adrenaline, that causes your mind to think certain thoughts and these thoughts cause your body to produce more adrenaline.

The only way to break this cycle is to change your thoughts.
Or to stop thinking all together 😉

It\’s all about reprogramming your body and mind on a quantum level.

I love to help my clients with that and I am about to have two open spaces in my private one-on-one mentoring program. Contact me if you\’re interested and want to learn more about what it means to work with me on that level.

get in life what you ask for

Ask for what you really want

Always ask for what you really want Sometimes it\’s scary to admit to yourself what you really want, because you\’re afraid that you can\’t get it. So it\’s easier to focus on something else that you do expect is possible. Only to find out that you will never get it, no matter how hard your try. I just finished a one-on-one mentoring program with a lady that asked me to help her deal with losing contact with her daughter and grandchildren. She would continuously get into fights with her daughter and son in law, until the point that her daughter told her she was no longer welcome to come over and see her grandchildren. She was determined to let go of the pain and go on with her life. To focus on her business and forget about her grandchildren, because it was to painful to think about them growing up without her. So she didn\’t expect my first question: if that was what she really wanted. If she could change this situation into a perfect situation. Would that be it? Her answer was: \’Well no, not actually, but it\’s not possible to get a good relationship with my daughter for so many reasons, so I just have to let them go\’. With that being her answer, I asked her if she was willing to do the work, even if there was no guarantee that she would ever rekindle their relationship. In making the decision that she would do whatever it would take to be able to see her grandchildren grow up, she started shifting so much energy already. Over the course of three months we worked on her personal development, we looked at old patterns, healed her inner child and grew her awareness of her ego system and learned tools to help her stay aware of her old thought patterns and focus on the desired outcome. In the end she was able to have an amazing conversation with her daughter, free of her ego, free of her old coping mechanisms and was able to build a new relationship with her daughter out of mutual respect and love. In our last conversation we talked about her initial goal and how different it all worked out in the end. How grateful she was for making the decision to first work on herself before expecting anything from her daughter. How amazed she was that it all worked out better than she could ever have imagined. And how as a side effect of it all, her relationship with her husband improved, she made some great investments in her business that gave her more free time and more money and she felt like she had more energy than she had in years. So she left me with a huge feeling of gratitude for being part of her process and an open space in my one-on-one mentoring program. Does this feel like something you are ready for? This is a three month commitment that will change your life. DM me for more information or to schedule a chemistry call.

Expand your comfort zone

Almost a year ago I decided that I wanted te learn how to play the piano. Of course, my ego system had a different opinion about that: \’You\’re way to old to start playing the piano, you should have learnt that at 8 years old when you first wanted to learn\’ \’What\’s the point of learning how to play the piano, you\’re not aspiring to be a concert pianist\’ \’What do you think it costs to get a piano and lessons\’ \’You probably don\’t have any talent to play the piano\’ \’Have you even got time to learn how to play, you should practice at least an hour every day\’ That abouts sums it up 😉 And of course I could have let my limiting beliefs take over and stop me from persuing my dream. That was kind of the point of my ego system. Please don\’t try anything new. Imagine you might like it 😜 Imagine you\’ve got a hidden talent that you haven\’t been using for almost 40 years Thankfully I\’ve learned how to \’ignore\’ my ego, how to choose beliefs that allow me to follow my heart and soul, to keep challenging myself because I know it helps me to become the next best version of myself and above all brings me lots of fun. And just like with your comfortzone, the more you expand, the more you learn, the easier it gets and the more fun you have. Playing the piano becomes more fun every day as the songs I learn get more complicated 🎶 It all starts with getting aware of your limiting beliefs and deciding you won\’t let them stop you from persuing your dreams. If you\’d like some help with that, I have opened up applications for two available spaces in my private mentoring program. This is a three month commitment and you will step outside of your comfort zone, but you know what… it\’s worth it! DM me for more information or to schedule a chemistry call.

Healing the past

, , , , ,

I ran into my mother the other day while I was out shopping for groceries in a shopping mall, not far from my home. That doesn’t sound like a big deal for most people, but I hadn’t seen my mother in 22 years (with a small exception when I went to see her 15 years ago to tell her and my little sister that my dad had died).
22 years of living in close proximity and yet we never ran into each other.

So, for me, standing in the cashier line and looking behind me just to see her standing there, was quite a surprise (or not, I’ll get to that later).
What surprised me most was that I felt really calm. I asked myself how I wanted to handle this situation. At that moment I felt I was not interested in recovering our relationship. I was OK with talking to her, but in a way she felt like a stranger.

She saw me too and decided to come over and talk to me, which I didn’t expect her to do, based on what I remember about her. She expressed her surprise running into me after all these years, especially since we only live 10 kilometers apart. So I asked her if she knew where I lived then and she told me that she did because she follows me on Facebook. Which was another surpise since I didn’t know she cared about my life.
She told me she was happy I was doing so great and that it was probably best to leave it with this for now. Which I agreed on and I went on to pay for my groceries.

So why did I ran into her after all this time?
Because for the past few months my focus has been on healing my inner child.
On healing the feeling of being rejected, of feeling unloved.
And as you probably know, what you focus on becomes your reality. What you water grows. And my focus had been on the past. I used NLP’s timeline technique to heal my own timeline and I used my gift of empathy to feel into my mothers life experiences and decisions and was able to forgive her.
But I kept wondering about how she feels now, after all of these years. If she ever thought about me. If she knew how well I was doing whether it was because of my life experiences or in spite of them.
And I got my answer right there in that grocery store.
She had been thinking about me and she was interested in how I was doing.

This is just one example of the law of attraction.
But what’s important to realise is that my focus has been on the past from a sense of curiosity, love and forgiveness. therefore attracting an experience that gave me answers and I look back at with positive emotions.

What emotions do you sent out when you think of the past?

road goals decide commitment

Decide

,

Every change you make in your life starts with a decision.
And making that decision can be the scariest part, because when you truly make the decision

it’s done
it’s final
it’s going to happen

You make a commitment to yourself.

You can do whatever you put your mind to, so it’s interesting to find out why making a decision is so hard in the first place.
Most of the time it’s because there’s something in it for your ego. Staying where you are, in your comfort zone, is safe and that’s where your ego prefers to keep you. But it goes much deeper than that. There are conscious and unconscious beliefs that you are holding on to and that your ego uses to sabotage you.

Every decision you make whether it’s quitting your job, starting a business, ending a relationship or getting into a relationship with someone, is a big step into the unknown and your ego can make up a thousand reasons of how it could go wrong, and it will NOT think of just as many reasons of how it could work out perfectly for you.

So how to make that first step, how to make the decision and then keep moving?
The first step is always the hardest, after that you build up momentum and you just keep on walking.

When you have a goal, and you look at it from a distance, it looks like a long road to get there, you see all the bumps in the road, the hills to cross, the ravine you might fall into, maybe there’s even a point where you don’t see any road and you think you might have to turn around and forget all about it and everything you’ve done was all for nothing.

But when you start walking and you get closer to the obstacles you saw from a distance, you’ll find that you can easily walk around the bumps in the road, that there is a railing along the ravine, that there are steps carved into the mountain and that there are people along the way to help you along the difficult parts. From up close you see the possibilities there are. Possibilities that aren’t visible until you are walking the road and getting closer to your goal.

So becoming aware of your limiting beliefs can be very helpful and getting clear on what it is you actually want is even more helpful. Having someone outside of your situation who can help you get clear on these things could really make a difference.

If you like a little guidance along the way towards your goal(s), message me for a discovery call to find out if my private mentoring program is the next step for you.

Ask clarity light rianne duinen

ASK

In manifestation we talk a lot about the principle of asking. If you don’t ask for something, how would you be able to get it, right?

So ASK, BELIEVE, RECEIVE.

What people tend to forget is that we can ask for anything. So also for clarity or truth.

If we hear something, see something, feel something our EGO is very capable of filling in the blanks. We assume all kinds of things based on previous experiences, based on our upbringing and environment, based on the view of the society we live in. But is it true?

I was talking to a client the other day and she was telling me about her son who still lived at home at age 27. He was the youngest in the family and because he had always been such an easy kid growing up, she had always felt that she didn’t give him enough attention. He never asked for it or complain about it, so that was easy. When his older siblings eventually left the house, all of her attention was on him. For the first time in his life his mom was there for him all the time. And that was an easy adjustment in the family dynamics. No problem there you’d think.

But, what happened recently is that the oldest daughter moved back home and that created a whole different situation. For the first time my client found herself fighting with her always so easy son. And she was blaming herself. All of the little feelings she had while he was growing up came back and kept her mind very busy. She felt like a bad mom, she felt guilty, she was thinking of all kinds of ways to make his life easier now that his sister was back home.

Hello EGO

So I asked her: ‘Did you ask him how he feels? What he needs?’
And she told me she didn’t even think of doing that. She had just let her EGO take over and was driving herself crazy going round and round in her head about how she could stop the fighting.

Sometimes the answer is to just ask the question that’s been keeping your mind busy.

It really can be that easy.

So what’s been keeping your mind busy?
What questions can you ask to get clarity on the truth?

The universe always delivers

The universe always delivers

I woke up to fog this morning. And after my initial disappointment because I love to watch the sun come out in the morning, I realized it was a great way of the universe saying ‘there is more out there than you can see right now. You know it’s there and you need to trust you will see it when it’s time.’

And of course the sun cleared up the fog in the next 30 minutes and I was able to see the view I was expecting.

Sometimes you are too focused on something to see the amazing things that are there.
Yesterday evening I went for a walk with my husband and we were admiring two swans that were relaxing in a field. We were enjoying the sight and felt grateful.

However, we almost missed the two deers I had manifested seeing, earlier today.
In the afternoon I visualized seeing them on a walk with a client and I hadn’t thought of that until we turned around from the swans to see two deers watching us on the other side of the path. Our focus on the swans almost let us to miss out on the deers, while I should have expected them to be there.

And I felt grateful that I got to see them, even just for 10 seconds because they ran back into the forest as they noticed we saw them to.

The universe always delivers.

All you need to do is trust that everything always works out perfectly for you.
