Who are you? And what do you need to be of service to your well-being and that of others from a place of calm and balance? The mindfulness meditations I develop support you from within for sustainable recovery and growth. They help you deepen and refine your connection with your senses. You learn to perceive more subtly. As a result, you become more aware of your body, emotions, feelings, thoughts, and inspiration.<\/p>\n<p>Building skills to handle your own and others&#8217; humanity provides peace and balance. By refining how you tune in, you become more aware of boundaries and (im)possibilities earlier. You reach the core more quickly. It becomes easier to find and maintain balance.

These mindfulness exercises have a layered structure. You are free to try out a few individual ones (which you can find in the webshop) for an introduction, but the mindfulness meditations are most effective when experienced in their interconnectedness. This way, they can support you step by step from within during a sustainable transformation process.<\/p>\n<p>The mindfulness exercises I developed, like my <a href=\"https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/en\/books\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>books<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/en\/online-training-courses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>online training courses<\/strong><\/a>, are layered to activate and nurture your self-healing ability. Sustainable change always occurs voluntarily, but it is never optional, for it demands commitment. It requires your focused time, attention, and practice. By taking care of who you are and what you need at least twice a week, you will increasingly get to know your own senses, naturalness, and humanity better.<\/p>\n<p>During the <a href=\"https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/en\/sustainable-change-program\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Sustainable Change Program<\/strong><\/a>, mindfulness exercises are a <strong>means<\/strong> of more finely tuning in to who you are and what you need. Layer by layer, you learn to relax more deeply and find peace. It is precisely because of this that you can also feel where tensions remain. Underlying tensions are gradually brought into motion, initiating a sustainable change process. You always have the choice to nurture this process or not. When you do, you can find peace, recover, and grow on a deeper level.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_divider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243; module_id=&#8221;Trainingen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.18.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/wendyvanmieghem.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/Psychologie-Psychology-512-x-512-groen.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;Psychologie Psychology 512 x 512 groen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; width=&#8221;7%&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; module_alignment=&#8221;right&#8221; header_2_font_size_tablet=&#8221;40px&#8221; header_2_font_size_phone=&#8221;25px&#8221; header_2_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2>Mindfulness training<\/h2>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; text_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_orientation=&#8221;justified&#8221; text_font_size_tablet=&#8221;16px&#8221; text_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; text_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; text_line_height_tablet=&#8221;1.8em&#8221; text_line_height_phone=&#8221;1.7em&#8221; text_line_height_last_edited=&#8221;off|phone&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p><span>Kies uit onderstaande mindfulness trainingen en ga aan de slag met mindfulness!
