Sometimes people that are interested in doing work with me reach out and ask: “Do you also do healing?”. After making it clear what they mean by that I often end up responding “Yes. But I’d much rather teach you how to do it for yourself”. You are the medicine. You’re born into this world as a bundle of pure aliveness. When you’ve had your energy t…

Our sexual energy is an often deeply misunderstood force. Our relationship to it often gets embodied in one of two ways. Either as an addiction to act on certain habits and release the energy, leaving us depleted of the life force we accumulated. Or suppressed or lost touch with, leaving us dried up and with little access to life force. Sexual ener…

So often we’re trying to reach for the stars by stretching our hands towards the sky when we really need to get them dirty, digging into the earth to visit the underworld, our unconscious. In the dark, the stars come down to meet us, there’s no reaching to be done. Daring to go into the darkest shadows and shine the light of awareness, is what has …

Embodiment is such a fundamental piece to both healing and creating a new life. Fact is, you’re embodying your beliefs right now, most of them unconsciously. If you want to experience real inner change AND see the effects of your inner work reflected back to you in the world around you… then you need to understand and practice conscious embodiment.…

This is a bonus episode that was recorded during a live session in the community. You can do the meditation or, if now is not the time, you can skip forward to the discussion at the 34 minute mark and do the mediation when you have space for it. Things we covered in the discussion: - Does consciousness solve everything? - What if my mind is very sc…

When we’re trying to change the current program of our mind, we’re faced with somewhat of a pickle: The tool we have to change it with is also what we’re trying to change. Often, the current program of our mind can’t even dream up what could be possible. What life could look like or what we’re capable of. It can’t see outside of itself. And IF it c…

If you have a skeptical mind and have been spending most of your life relying on your thinking, it might seem like an insurmountable task to have the direct experience of consciousness. Even if you have been meditating for a long time, chances are that you’ve been doing it from inside the mind. Here’s the good news. I was extremely heady, analytica…

The direct experience of your core self is something that will change you. The funny thing is that you’ve actually come home to yourself and not changed at all, you’ve simply dropped some layers of illusion you used to cling to. We’ve all read the books and heard the stories about awakenings and enlightenment, but truly experiencing it for yourself…

Understanding brainwave states and how they are related to different states of consciousness made a big lightbulb go on for me. The survival state with its looping thoughts and feeling stuck can be clearly measured as a brainwave state. As can the state of feeling at peace and present with yourself and the world around you. With each of your intern…

A lot of people have formed the idea that meditation is a way to discipline the mind. To quiet it, focus it, calm it down, cultivate more of the thoughts you want to have and with that become more of the person you want to be. This idea might be helpful to get you started but can keep you trapped in identification with the mind. In this episode of …

You have likely heard me emphasize how important it is to take apart your old beliefs, rather than trying to put new ones on top of them. That’s why I’m skeptical about practices that ONLY rely on affirmations or thinking your way to new patterns, since they often bypass your initial wounds and the exiled parts that need to be met and integrated. H…

Inner-growth work at its core is simple, and yet so tricky. Mainly because we’re trying to understand a pattern and shift it, with the same program it was created with. As you can imagine, this is not a very effective way. The insights that we need seem to stay hidden just out of sight, while we run our hamster wheel. So if you’ve been wondering wh…

When we hear the term “survival state” it’s easy to associate it with life-threatening situations and trauma. But we’re in this state a lot more than we’re aware of. We’re unconsciously responding with fight-or-flight responses to many of our everyday situations, even if on a lower grade on the scale. The thing is: since this state is so normalized…

We’ve all heard our mind say things like “I feel like shit” or “I’m completely overwhelmed”. What often happens next is that we react to this statement like it’s true and a terrible thing that either needs to be fixed asap or something to feel hopeless and defeated about. But what if instead of getting carried away in reactions to the statement, we…

If we would call the deeply connecting relationship we long for a festive Holiday meal, then there’s a fundamental ingredient that is needed to cook that meal. An ingredient that most of us haven’t learned how to access, or even that it exists. It’s so rare to see it well practiced that we could call it a forgotten ingredient. Chances are that you …

When a relationship has a good quality of connection - whether it’s in the relationship to your own mind, emotions and body, or in relationship with others - a door opens. A door from the room of old patterns that leads into a new experience. What will create and open that door is the quality of the attention you’re directing onto something. Just l…

I had to remove a lot of protection layers to even discover that I longed for deep, heartfelt connections. My spiritual ego that felt all it needed was deep meditation and the skill to shift from anger to gratitude had to crumble. The lone wolf who said it was better off alone had to meet with its deep-buried fear. The project manager that believed…

Let’s play with the idea that everything in life is a matter of relating. You relate to the people around you and your job. You relate to the weather or the traffic. You relate to your emotions, your inner judge and your mind. All of them are showing up in a certain way - but what’s your half of the relationship? In this episode of the Uncover YOU …

A common thought while doing self-awareness work, or in other places in life, is “I’m stuck”. It’s a pretty vague metaphor that can mean many different things. Still, our mind tends to take it as a truth and gets busy with figuring out why we are stuck and what we need to do to get out of there. What would happen if we instead found out WHO it is f…

Feel unable to change an old pattern that you discovered a while back? Or that you can’t get to a core belief? Or are you noticing yourself avoiding meeting some uncomfortable emotions that you know needs to come out? And like the responsibility to figure it all out is on you? In a sense, it’s true that no one else can do your inner work for you. B…

A lot of people use physical exercise, yoga, or meditation to regulate their emotions. They feel better and learn to not get stuck in an unhelpful thought pattern. That is great! But at times we are using these activities to avoid emotions we don’t want around, which just keeps them stuck there longer. Let’s explore how to tell the difference betwe…

Ever wondered what a spiritual power journey is? And what the heck you do on one? The first time I nervously signed up to go on one I was considering if I’d gone crazy and was about to join a cult. Maybe I did because I kept coming back. But it wasn’t because some cult leader was giving me new rules to live by, quite the opposite. It was because of…

Do you know what one of the most fascinating things about taking the journey of deep inner change is? That you’re not the same as you were five years or even five months ago. The beliefs that were driving your thoughts and behaviors back then aren’t there anymore. So you think different thoughts. You react differently. And most of all you feel diff…

When our inner alchemical or spiritual work has become another thing on the to-do list and we feel the heaviness of another box to check, we’ve lost touch with our WHY. We’ve forgotten what we set out to do and we’re lost in the forest of musts and shoulds. Your inner work is not another chore. It’s the rebellious act of breaking free from a progra…

“You shouldn’t feel angry, you should be able to accept this!” Does this inner thought, or something similar, sound familiar? As we’ve talked about in previous episodes, our mind has a tendency to use things in our self-awareness and spiritual work against us. To hijack them, make a minor tweak and voilá: all the sudden we’re beaten down with the c…

What are you currently believing about who you should be or what you should be feeling? The mind is constantly trying to fit us into different boxes. The boxes might be changing through your life, but the underlying dynamic of needing to fit one, and beating down on you if you don’t, is the same. When going through the self mastery process, or othe…

Overwhelm happens when we don’t have the capacity to fully process a situation, our inner emotions or other impressions. We could say that the instream of data is greater than our bandwidth to process. Our capacity to process can be temporarily lowered because we’ve got a lot going on. Or we’re constantly taking too much in without a filter so our …

Here’s the link to BEING ME for men and women which we mention in the episode. The next round is open for registration until August 17th. -- The feminine and the masculine are some of the oldest archetypes and their dynamic is alive in all of us, beyond gender identification. If left unattended it’s easy to take on many of society’s unhealthy relat…

More about the 2-day workshop on Self-love that I mention in this episode. -- The further you travel into the core of your being, what you'll find is love. The more love you can give to yourself, the more freedom and expansion you get to experience, and the more personal power you have at your disposal. The way to get there is by examining the rela…

More about the 2-day workshop on Self-love that I mention in the intro to this episode. --- The phrase living in integrity conjures up two wonderful images in my mind: on the one hand, I picture a compact central point, a steadfast core; and on the other, it is an all-encompassing embrace of the whole. That’s kind of what living in integrity feels …

Self Mastery can sound like a way to gain control over your mind. To have mastery OVER the self, to override and make sure we don't have any of those pesky uncomfortable reactions again. In a way, a consequence of Self Mastery will be that you take back power from the mind and that you get control over the automated programs that have been running …

One of the more persistent assumptions of the mind is that to be truly happy and joyful, all other patterns have to go. This assumption is...false. Once you uncover the spring of happiness and joy underneath the layers of beliefs, you can be happy AND meet old patterns and newly discovered pockets of them from this state. What has shifted? That you…

Nowadays, many more people are aware of limiting beliefs as an obstacle to create the life they want. Once you’ve realized that unconscious beliefs are what is causing many of the emotions, thoughts and patterns you want to change, you probably get in a hurry to try and change them. The problem is that you often don’t go deep enough and are trying …

If you feel confused about the “right way to handle your emotions”, you’re not alone. We’ve often been taught a reactive way of being with them that includes either avoiding them or being swept away by them. So when we hear the instructions to feel our emotions it might seem very counterintuitive and bring up fear and resistance. On the other hand,…

One of the biggest things in the way of Dreaming is the identification we have formed with our mind. We believe that what it’s saying is a reflection of who we are and even if we manage to shift out of one or two of the stories it’s telling we still have the unconscious belief that the mind IS WHO WE ARE. But there is more of you. In fact, when you…

Dreaming is a word you might have heard me use in different situations. I talk about personal dreams and collective dreams. I talk about waking dreams and conscious dreaming. I will ask you what dream is dreaming you if you’re one of my clients. But what exactly do I mean by a Dream? In episode 1 I gave an overview of the Self Mastery Journey of mo…

Have you ever felt like you were winning the self-mastery game? Like you’ve totally conquered your old program and won’t need to practice anymore. Only to be beaten down the next day and realizing you either had it and lost it, or that you were just believing a lie. In this episode of the Uncover YOU podcast, I share a conversation with one of my c…

Having a Spiritual Ego is not a big thing, most of us do. The big question is how you relate to it. Do you believe what it’s saying about you and the world, or are you observing what it’s doing from outside of it? Are you believing that you should keep your shadow self hidden, or are you taking action to integrate and welcome all parts of you? In t…

When your ego-mind has gotten a hold of the idea of self-awareness and spiritual growth, it will use this idea to keep avoiding what it’s afraid of. All the uncomfortable, yucky, wild, dark parts of yourself that you have learned to reject. But shifting the uncomfortable emotions doesn’t happen by wanting them to go away. It’s when you step out of …

As we established in the last episode explaining the spiritual ego, having a spiritual ego is...normal. It’s the ego mind’s survival mechanism of morphing and upgrading. But it might not have been what you had in mind when you set out on your transformational journey. You were dreaming of stepping out of the identification with the mind and its old…

When exploring the terms spiritual ego, spiritual materialism or spiritual narcissism in articles and literature, they are almost always portrayed as a bad thing we want to avoid. The manipulating and abusive guru who has been hiding behind a mask of spirituality type of thing. But a spiritual ego is not very different from a non-spiritual ego, and…

If someone would have told me at the beginning of my journey to just get out of my head and drop into my body, I would not have known how to do that. My mind was my safety blanket and I had avoided my emotions by escaping to my mind. Instead of fighting the mind, bring the mind on the journey when you start befriending your emotions. When we get go…

If the aim for this journey from analyzing to feeling is to operate more from integrity, then let’s look at what that might be and feel like. When you’ve been run by a program in your mind it’s hard to know what trusting your body and what it’s saying might look like. We usually don’t even feel we know who we are when we start to take apart the bel…

In this episode, Gary van Warmerdam (from pathwaytohappiness.com) and I have a conversation about the leap from the mind into the emotions and why he built the Self Mastery Course to support this shift. He also shares about his own process of getting in touch with emotions, and how he moves his attention between the mind, body, emotions, and consci…

The Self Mastery work takes off in the understanding of how your mind works, how beliefs are formed and brings you into the observer of your thoughts and reactions. The real shifts won’t start happening until you truly get in touch with your emotions and learn how to feel them. In the coming four episodes we’ll explore that process of moving from y…

You find show notes and images in this post on my website. One of the common programs of the mind is to tell us that we’re failing, doing it wrong. Doing the self mastery work is no different. The mind seems to have a surprising amount of opinions on how we should be practicing and what results should look like. When you’ve been identified with the…

You find show notes and images in this post on my website. In our last session about Connecting with Pleasure as a skill to expand your old, limiting program and create the life you want, there were good questions that I didn't get to. So in this episode, we'll dive deeper into the topic of pleasure and see if we can bring more clarity to the diffe…

You find show notes and images in this post on my website. When we start the Self Mastery work it's often from a feeling of struggle. It takes effort, motivation, and willpower to shift our perspective about our inner world and start making changes to it. Especially if we’ve been in a victim state about what is happening to us in our external world…

You find show notes and images in this post on my website. Once you know and are doing the foundational practices in the Self Mastery work (found in the self mastery course 1), you have an invaluable foundation to take apart beliefs from. But at a certain point, you might hit a plateau where you find yourself not getting further, walking in circles…

You find show notes and images in this post on my website. Let’s look under the hood of a question I get quite often: “How do I learn to set boundaries with other people.” There’s no problem with the question itself, but often it’s asked from the belief that we need some new skills to deal with an external situation, while we actually need some ski…
