Spirituality and Meditation for Rational People with Danielle Van De Velde
Manage episode 385070977 series 3460715
Do you think that meditation is only for yogis or monks? Think again.
If you consider yourself a highly rational, logical, "thinking" person, please listen to this conversation with Danielle Van de Velde: meditation teacher, healer, transformative leader, author, and coach to multinational organisations as well as individuals.
Danielle works with people who identify a need for spiritual healing, but also with corporate teams and leaders who want to work better together. She shares her insights on intentionality and how important it is to learn to tap into our spiritual intelligence. She discusses the importance of breathwork in increasing self-awareness and enhancing our physical and mental health.
In addition, Danielle highlights the power of choice in achieving greatness and overcoming obstacles, and the direct impact of our choices on the energy patterns and events in our lives.
We both transitioned from the corporate world, so this is a great conversation for those who are new to meditation or exploring their spiritual selves--including new ways of looking at stress and how we can work with the external environment, rather than control it.
