Art therapy
This is a way to express your feelings and your unconsciousness.
When you talk, you are able to go around your blind spots. When you are creating without thinking, you give a voice to the unspoken or unknown.
This therapy can be beneficial in different ways:
-
Expressing emotions
-
Giving insights and clarity
-
Healing trauma
-
Getting heart and head on the same line
Coaching
The coaching that is provided is based on positive psychology and has a holistic structure. This includes your physical, emotional and mental state of being. On top of this, there is the "state of I". Your inner state of peace. This contains your passions, truth, worths and values. You could say, your soul speaks from here. On a deeper level you find here compassion, forgiveness, gratitude, joy and love. You will learn how these worths relate to your personal life.
The coaching is a guidance that helps you to come to your full empowerment. A plan will be made to reach a state of acceptance and/or transformation.
In the first sessions we get a clear vision of where you are, where you want to be, and how to get there. We make a plan and go with little, but firm steps forward. We talk and you get exercises to practise in your daily life.
These practises can include:
-
Meditation
-
Physical exercises
-
Mindful exercises
-
Writing
Meditation & Mindfulness
What is mindful meditation?
Mindful meditation is being in the moment, aware of what arises.
The attention can go inwards: to your breath, physical sensations, thoughts, emotions, or outwards: sensory experiences like hearing sounds around you.
What you do is trying to be aware with consciousness of what arises. Sometimes you lose yourself in a thought, sometimes you are aware of your thought. this process of being aware and falling back in automatics, is the process of mindful meditation.
What are the benefits of meditation?
The best is to experience this yourself, though generally you can say that mindful meditation makes you more aware of automatic patterns, thoughts and behaviours and stress-signals. You are able to 'step out of it' and make different choices that are more beneficial and healthy for your body, mind and emotional body.
It is possible to do one-on-one sessions. You can also follow a 8week-training called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, you find more information in the menu.
Relaxational healing
Relaxational healing occurs on the physical, emotional and mental surface.
How does it work?
You lie down in a comfortable way in a chair or table. You start with some relaxation exercices, which soften your muscles and calms your mind. Meanwhile you get a gentle laying on of hands and a light massage.
By getting more relaxed, your getting more to the surface between being awake and sleeping. Your conscious and uncounscious mind connect. The physical body gets more connected with feelings and thoughts. This can give new insights or a release of emotions.
