Inspiration is at your door every day. Here you will get some tips to make your life and work 'richer' and more meaningful. And I would like to share with you what has inspired me all these years, which may be interesting for you too.

What is Inspiration?
The word inspiration contains spirit, which actually means 'breath'. “In-spiration” means “breathing in”. In short, inspiration can be briefly described as something that breathes in and enriches your soul and gives spiritual nourishment.

SIX TIPS

1. Sources of Inspiration

Find speakers, books, podcasts, films, apps, or seminars about awareness, let yourself be touched, and enrich yourself. Or, occasionally go to a coaching, course, seminar or retreat, not just to give yourself new insights, but above all to gain new experiences that matter.

2. Dreams

Try to remember your dreams and look for parallels with your daily work or life. Soul and Spirit Anchors, Including Spirit Icons Wield soul anchors in your immediate environment that remind you, and nourish your soul or spirit. Feed them regularly, otherwise they will lose their strength. If you received an amulet from a “holy” man from India ten years ago, it will lose its power if you never pay attention to it.

4. Nature

Visit nature more often, and just ‘be’ there for a natural amount of time. Look around occasionally, and see parallels with your own life path.

5. Allies on Earth

See your soul mates more often, or actively ask them for support.

“If you don't let yourself be supported and inspired, you make it harder than necessary”

6. Allies in Heaven

In your mind, ask for help from your deceased loved one, guardian angel, or spirit guide.

My inspirations

What inspires me are the cosmic mirrors of self-reflection that life and work give me every day. If you look carefully, you can learn and grow every day in how you handle other people and situations.

What inspires me is to use other ways of thinking, besides existing psychology, that contribute to natural growth and balance, wisdom and satisfaction. A great many indigenous cultures throughout the world, some of which I have visited, and various movements relating to spirituality are long-standing sources of inspiration for me.

Verder inspireert mij in-de-natuur-zijn wat ons eigenlijk zoveel kan leren of gezond en in balans zijn als je maar goed kijkt. En met name vogels, in het bijzonder met de arend. Hiermee heb ik van kinds af aan een band en twee arenden zijn terug te vinden in mijn handtekening die ik maakte toen ik 14 jaar was. Bleek dubbel arend (toon 11) later ook nog eens mijn geboortezegel te zijn volgens de Maya-kalender. Bovendien staat de arend voor mij symbool voor transformatie, leiderschap, visie en een heldere geest. Dat zie je terug in mijn logo en dat kan ik je brengen.

En niet te vergeten muziek, want muziek verbindt. Als gepassioneerd muzikant speelde ik in diverse bands zoals 5 jaar Yesshows wat ik mede heb opgericht en het Genesis Project (Peter Gabriel era) als de Nederlandse Tributebands van YES en Genesis. En ik speelde in de progrockband 5BridgeS waarmee we een eigen album uitbrachten 'The Thomas Tracks'. Hier kun je wat live video's waar ik deel van mocht uitmaken:
