Edwin van der Hoeven CSNU, a spiritualist medium

~ I help people reconnect. With themselves as 'body, mind & spirit'. That is, as a physical person, but also spiritually and energetically. Additionally, the connection with one another; people among themselves, nature, animals, and on a spiritual level with the spiritual world.~

Learning objectives and topics

How nice that you found my website! On this page, I introduce myself—or rather, I tell you a few things about myself. If you would like to really get to know me, then click on this link. Before you read on, I would like to tell you why I have this website, a practice, and help people on their spiritual journey through life. In short, it comes down to the fact that;

I help people reconnect. With themselves as 'body, mind & spirit'. That is, as a physical person, but also spiritually and energetically. Additionally, the connection with one another; people among themselves, nature, animals, and on a spiritual level with the spiritual world.

We are so much more than our bodies, more than our thoughts and emotions. I want to help you trust yourself again and acknowledge the strength with which you can shape your life. I am therefore very grateful and happy to see that people of all faiths and beliefs find their way to my practice. Ultimately, there is only one faith, one religion, and that is love. 

In search of answers in Buddhism and Krishnamurti

It has been so long already. I turned 19 that month when my father suddenly passed away. It turned my world upside down, and I had no choice but to go in search of answers. Answers that I found in Buddhism and with Krishnamurti, an exceptionally wise man.

I learned various meditation techniques and practiced yoga for years. But despite my enthusiasm for yoga and meditation, there remained an emptiness that just didn't seem to be filled.

Spiritual healing and contact with my deceased father

“Coming home again,” that is how it felt after my first consultation in June 2006 at Joke Winters, trance healing medium. That feeling of coming home happened because Joke gave my 'experiences' a place and a name. For ever as long as I can remember, I have been communicating with the spiritual world and this had become an integral part of my life. But because I didn't really know how to deal with it and what exactly it was, I saw it as a burden rather than a blessing.

When I reconnected with my father through Joke in 2006, I discovered a part of my gift and personally experienced the healing effect of this contact. In the years that followed, I had regular mystical experiences, and it became clear to me that the physical body should be considered merely a temporary entity. 

It's for the better

“I love you” was hard to say
though I said it many times after
I was a little boy,
insecure and uncertain
I was still growing up

“I need you” was needless to say
though I said it many times
He was still so young.
how to prepare for this
We were still growing up.

I knew you had to go
I know we'll all go someday
things we know but don't want to hear
I guess it's for the better

“You can go now” we all said
Words so hard to say
became beautiful to say
words filled with compassion

   Look at your pictures
   the ones you took
   the ones of me & you

   think of your words
   the words you spoke
   my words to you

    You can go now!
    It's for the better

The Arthur Findlay College

I visited the famous for the first time in April 2011. Arthur Findlay College in England. My goal was to develop my (trance) healing gifts, but my strong mediumistic abilities also emerged here. I had never consciously made contact to prove that life does not end with physical death. This week, it was impressed upon me that, in addition to healing, I also had the potential to develop demonstrative mediumship, alongside other facets of mediumship.

Between 2011 and 2018, I completed 17 weeks of training at the Arthur Findlay College with some of the best mediums in the world. In addition, I have attended many workshops at home and abroad.I consider the following mediums in particular as inspiration and guiding in my development: Simon James, Brian Robertson, Sandie Baker, Janet Parker, Matthew Smith, Glyn Edwards, Eileen Davies.

In the spiritual realm, I would also like to add Jiddu Krishnamurti, Sri Yukteshwariji & Paramhansa Yogananda, Buddha, and Jesus.

Spiritualism

  1. The fatherhood of God
  2. The brotherhood of man
  3. Contact with the spirit world and guidance by a higher intelligence
  4. The infinite life of the human soul
  5. Personal responsibility
  6. Compensation and retribution for your good and bad behavior on earth
  7. Progress and growth for every human soul

The 7 principles (loosely translated from English) that form a non-dogmatic basis for Spiritualism.

The Spiritualists' National Union

Many people are familiar with the term medium, but only a few know what it truly means. I myself went on a quest to discover what could explain my spirituality and sensitivity, and in doing so, I came into contact with Spiritualism. The Spiritualists' National Union (SNU) in England offers frameworks within which mediumship can be trained and is also used to give humanity more insight into life after death and the implications thereof for our daily lives. The SNU applies 7 principles as rules of conduct that serve as guidelines, not dogmatic laws.

Since 2012, I have written dozens of articles on meditation for the monthly digital newsletter of the international branch of the SNU, the SNUII also teach meditation, consultations, and communication with the spiritual world. I am a tutor for the written course Speaking & Demonstrating 2 and was appointed as the Dutch representative of the SNUi from 2016 until June 2019.
