MEDIUMSHIP
Communication with the unseen world

Edwin van der Hoeven CSNU

I hope you find what you are looking for on this site. It might be set up a bit differently than you expect or are used to from a medium or coach. I don't really believe in putting on a hat that says I am a medium one moment and a crypto enthusiast the next. Everything is interconnected, and I draw inspiration from all facets of life. 

I see this also with the participants I have the privilege of guiding through a life issue. They come to work on X but discover that attention actually needs to be paid to Y. The great thing about this is that they experience positive results in all aspects of their lives. And that is how it should be! Nothing exists in isolation, and that is why the complete picture is important. Only then can our lives fully flourish. 

We are all more than the sum of our parts! As a person, in a relationship, family, or with your friends and colleagues.

For who?

As the Buddhists say: all people have one thing in common, and that is ' the search for happiness '. The definition of happiness has many individual manifestations: more money, good looks, a loving partner, success, good health, freedom, creativity, and so on.

You can seek happiness outside yourself or within yourself.

Many people in the Western world focus on happiness outside themselves; however, experience shows that this usually provides only temporary satisfaction, and you soon start looking for the next thrill. It is precisely when you cultivate inner happiness that you can experience a state of being that is loving and energetic, keeps your focus sharp, and provides inspiration for personal success.

I therefore leave your external circumstances entirely up to you. I am happy to help you with the inner cultivation of happiness, training the mind, and the language of your feelings.

Bitcoin and the spirituality of trading

Spirituality and financial matters sometimes seem to be at odds with each other. In this first video, I explain that you can indeed learn a great deal about yourself when trading stocks or crypto. It teaches you about patience, focus, fear, strategy, and many more qualities that can serve you very well in life.

Water must flow

Generosity must flow in times of crisis

Money is like water and must flow freely. Man is merely an intermediary in this continuous exchange. Therefore, cultivate generosity so that you can let nature do its work.

True religion is about trust

Trust expresses itself in an unceasing joy that everything is good as it may be. The only thing you can do now is be aware of life.

sensitivity

Highly sensitive perception

Are you highly sensitive? Then your brain processes more sensory information and you reflect on it more deeply. Your sensory experience is more intense, complex, and chaotic, and you perceive things as new or different more quickly; you are stimulated more by stimuli than the average person.

Meditation & Consciousness

When speaking of consciousness development, meditation is a ' state of consciousness '. In this sense, a state of consciousness transcends the traditions that provide us with methods to reach this state of being . Over the years, therefore, I have mostly not taught specific traditions, but rather methods to attain a meditative state of consciousness. In doing so, I help people experience the mystical power of mantras by creating their own mantra or by using, for example, the Vajra Guru mantra by Padmasambhava.

We are not matter, rather emptiness

Now everything is different

Thinking is the driver of dual perception; breathing, on the other hand, gives you the space to connect with the higher self. Meditation is learning to let go, is being in the Now. The Now knows no space and time, no you and me. In the Now, everything is one!

Why meditate during a full moon?

Meditation with the full moon gives us the opportunity to connect with the higher self, when we become more in touch with our feelings and our emotions are given the space to simply be.

Personal development

What shapes your personal vision, your philosophy ? Is your work an important factor in your happiness, your home, your hobby, your partner and family, or are you looking for experiences? Do you enjoy traveling and prefer to constantly discover new things? In my view, there is no right or wrong answer; however, there is only one correct answer: your own. Are you living your dream? Or do you not quite know how and where to begin? Perhaps these articles can give you some inspiration... a start.

Get up after you have fallen and walk on.

Letting go of the past is the only thing you need to do. No longer try to hold on to what no longer serves you. The dust behind you will settle until it waits again to be stirred up by the next seeker. Nothing remains the same, for anyone; why should it be any different for you? Therefore, get up again and walk on, move on with your life and do not keep grieving. Allow yourself to feel sadness, but also see the relief as a moment to move forward.

When in doubt, do not overtake

When in doubt, do not overtake

What does it take to overcome doubt? To search again for that which can offer you certainty. To close your eyes to your external world and go within. You are the only one who can provide yourself with certainty in life.

overcome your fear

Overcome your fear!

Overcome your fear, and great treasures await you. Often, it is a matter of perseverance. After all, the fear you feel is not present at the final destination!

Movement arises from stillness

Be true to yourself, to your heart and its deepest desires. Be who you truly are and let go of the false illusions that won't get you anywhere anyway. You only need to be.

Joy is religion!

Not 'a' religion, but joy is religion! I don't know about you, but when I run into a good friend of mine, it makes me happy.
