Inner peace, focus and emotional balance within one week… without time-consuming meditations.

• The online mindfulness course that doesn’t demand any planning or scheduling

• Straightforward, uncomplicated exercises without having to master Zen meditations

• You’ll practise with situations that occur in your everyday life

• Long lasting results because you’ll learn how to incorporate mindfulness into your daily routine and make mindfulness a natural habit

Are you tired of feeling tense, stressed and frustrated?

We all encounter quite a few stressful situations during the day. Sometimes these are incredibly intense, such as a fight with your spouse. But more often it are those minor irritations that cause high stress levels:

• a bus driver who drives off just while you try to catch it

• your manager who sets impossible deadlines

• your overly active children who demand your full attention

You never seem to have time to yourself… and life seems to pass you by.

Wouldn’t it be better if you could be in charge of your own life again?

Without hurrying and stressing? Without angry words and dark moods? Without that suffocating feeling that you’re always on duty and are never allowed any slack?

With my practical mindfulness approach I promise* that you can start being yourself again within just a week: that patient, kind, relaxed and gentle person who lives inside of you, but who has been pushed aside because of your chronic lack of time and countless social obligations.

*I can confidently promise you this because my no-nonsense method has significantly improved the lives of thousands of people worldwide.

Stop doing symptom-focussed therapies and woo-woo workshops that only set you up for failure

When you’re not feeling okay and you suffer from complaints and ailments, you probably try a lot of approaches to get back into control of your own life and wellbeing. Many of my clients report they tried EMDR therapy, Neurolinguistic Programming, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Reiki and even Tarot card readings in a desperate bid to relieve their chronic stress, anxiety, hyperventilation or panic attacks.

You might even have followed the standard (and incredibly pricey) Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction training.

And sure, after completing a number of sessions you felt on top of the world, wow! You solemnly promised yourself that this time you would definitely stick to your new mindset and healthy habits… until the reality of everyday life knocked you off your feet again. Despite all your efforts and good intentions you are left feeling more miserable and disillusioned than ever before.

My approach is not only natural and effective… but super-easy (yes, you can do it too)

The exercises offered by my digital Karma Kickstart course help you remain calm and balance in the turmoil of everyday life, right in the midst of stressful situations.

In stark contrast to the assignments of the standard 8-week MBSR-training, my exercises adapt to the situations that are specific to your everyday life. From the very first moment you start practising, you’ll notice that you can use my exercises right when you need them.

This is a radically different approach to the standard mindfulness training. The MBSR-training revolves around the official mindfulness meditations of 45 minutes each, which you’ll have to do Every Single Day — whether you have time or not. The standard training forces you to adapt to its time-consuming meditations, no matter how impractical and unrealistic it might be. Since you have a busy life, probably combining a career with raising a family and countless social obligations, how on earth would you find the time to do those intense meditations?

Why the mindfulness meditations don’t work for people like you and me

After completion of the training, when you have to stick to your new habits all by yourself, keeping up your daily meditation practice is such a time-consuming task that you’ll quickly drop it. I’ve seen this happening with my fellow-participants of the MBSR-training I followed, and each and every mindfulness trainer I speak to, confirms this.

Once you drop the meditations, you’ll see that you start to relapse and return to that exact stressful behaviour that made you sign up to the training in the first place. What a terrible waste of time, money and human energy.

Apart from that, it’s my personal experience that even if you’d keep on meditating, that lovely calm of your morning meditation has a tendency to rapidly fall apart as soon as you enter your office and are being confronted with your annoying micromanager, suffocating deadlines, and toxic office politics. The wonderfully calming effect of meditation simply can’t last when stress really hits you.

With my approach you don’t have to free up time to meditate, because you’ll simply practise mindfulness throughout the day.

This way you’ll develop the healthy habit of everyday-mindfulness, and for many years to come you’ll profit from the long-lasting and sustainable effects of my simple but super-effective exercises.

My story — your challenge too?

Mindfulness is a big part of my life for more than 15 years now. I don’t spend any time on a meditation cushion — I simply apply mindfulness in everything I do during the day. This way practising mindfulness doesn’t demand any extra time, while I still get to use each and every potentially stressful situation to ground myself and remain calm and focussed.

The beauty of this hands-on approach is that the number of stressful situations in my life has drastically dropped since I started to apply everyday-mindfulness.

Before mindfulness my life was a never-ending drama filled with setbacks, conflicts and bitter disappointments. I was suffering from severe depression, a serious thyroid disorder, burnout and zero self-confidence.

When I was 37 and feeling so low that I couldn’t possibly sink any lower, mindfulness came into my life. It opened my eyes and helped me see that I was the one causing all this drama (and not the circumstances in the outside world). Within a few weeks I was able to let go of that inefficient mindset and started to make incredibly profound changes.

My life has changed beyond recognition: I’m no longer obsessed with my own interests, but instead help and support the wellbeing of others. It’s a radically different approach which not only makes me utterly happy and fulfilled, but has also given me back my own health. I have never been depressed anymore and all my physical ailments have disappeared too.

I now encourage my clients to re-connect with their inner wisdom and original wellbeing through this online platform which I run together with my husband. My platform is not a cold business: if you have a question you’ll find that I’m the one answering you, and not some web-manager or sales person. I also donate a huge number of articles on mindfulness for websites around the world, particularly in The Netherlands (where we’re from) and New Zealand (where we live). I write these articles and guest posts for free, because it’s incredibly powerful to share the impact of mindfulness and contribute to the wellbeing of other people.

Since mindfulness entered my life, everything I take on seems to succeed. My two books on mindfulness are international bestsellers and my affordable e-programmes and free articles in my own website help thousands of people each year to free their lives from drama, stress and anxiety, and make room for inner contentment and warm, fulfilling relations.

I love to share the goodness of mindfulness with you because it has such a positive impact on my everyday life, and I believe you deserve to enjoy a happy, fulfilling life too.

So if you're fed up with feeling stressed and struggling through endlessly busy days, take a leap of faith and join me!

The results when following my programme

After the course…

…you’ll feel less stressed ✓

…you’ll feel calm and relaxed ✓

…you’ll be able to breathe more consciously ✓

…you’ll be clear-minded ✓

…you’ll feel more focussed ✓

…you’ll be more patient ✓

…you’ll enjoy life to the fullest ✓

And this is how you practise: in your own way

Karma Kickstart’s set-up encourages you to pick any exercise and practise it during the day. You can follow the logical order of the exercises in the book. Sticking to the sequence of the programme helps you to develop, then anchor the habit of everyday-mindfulness. But you’ll also notice that each exercise can be practised randomly whenever you feel like it.

Allow three days for each exercise. After the third day, you let go of that particular exercise and move on to the next one. Don’t stack the exercises, but allow yourself time to try and apply each exercise on its own. This way you simply move through the entire sequence of exercises. Once you have tried and practised all 20 exercises, you choose to continue practising those that give a good result so that you can always rely on these practical mindfulness exercises to support you in challenging situations.

Why I know that Karma Kickstart will give you excellent results

• Easy but powerful exercises

• Don’t need much time

• Fit in every lifestyle, even really busy ones

• Long-term results due to regular practising

• Practise when you want: take 3 days for each exercise and enjoy pressure-free experiences

• Practise where you want: at home, at work, at the gym, in the supermarket, during social gatherings

• Practise in real situations when you need the power of mindfulness to keep calm, collected and focussed

What will you pay for all this?

Do you know that the 8-week MBSR-training will set you back a whopping £300.00 to £600.00? And then I’m not even taking into account the number of hours that you’ll be needing to invest if you’d do the standard training (when I did the standard training it took me around 20 hours a week x 8 weeks = 160 hours in total).

It’s my aim to make my highly effective mindfulness approach affordable for everyone, that’s why Karma Kickstart is a digital course where you don’t have to pay for the trainer’s costs, such as renting a large meeting room, printing materials, recording and copying CD’s, offering coffee and tea, etc.

My e-course isn’t only much more affordable than the standard mindfulness-training, but also goes straight to the core of the mindfulness principles which is far more effective, making you feel better and more relaxed within a week.

For only £49.00 you can start enjoying all the goodness of Karma Kickstart’s mindfulness exercises, in your own time and in your own tempo. Compared to the hundreds of pounds of the standard MBSR-training I think this is a good deal, and of course I hope you agree :-)

My unique and holistic approach

Focus versus Fragmentation

Karma Kickstart’s focus-enhancing exercises REDUCE STRESS, restlessness, anxiety and feelings of panic and inadequacy. When you focus on simple chores, your mind simply has no room for regrets about yesterday or worries about what tomorrow might bring. You become less dominated by intrusive thoughts and you can finally FOCUS ON WHAT’S IMPORTANT in your life right now.

Slowing Down versus Speeding Up

In addition to the focus-enhancing exercises, Karma Kickstart provides assignments that help you to consciously slow down. In our Western lifestyle, we are used to everything having to be done quick-quicker-quickest, without questioning whether ‘quick’ is the right way to do things. Quick unfortunately always ends in unfulfilling results. Mindfulness is all about the opposite: DEEPENING AND IMPROVING THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE by slowing down. This gives you more time to be aware of what you are doing and what is going on around you. Instead of rushing and stressing and working through tasks only to find more tasks piling up on your path, these exercises help you switch to a lower gear and become more aware of the intrinsic quality of your activities. These easy exercises instantly help you slow down and HAVE FULL CONTROL of your time again.

Thinking versus Fretting

Once thinking turns into fretting, stress and anxiety arise. With the cleverly coordinated exercises, you will learn to examine your thoughts and test them against reality. You’ll discover that most of your thoughts are just repeating themselves and are not telling you the truth, no matter how real they might seem. Karma Kickstart will help you dismantle inefficient thoughts charged with regret, pain, fear and worry, and instead create thoughts that NURTURE FOCUS, INNER CALM and CONFIDENCE.

Reality versus Fantasy

Instead of escaping into fantasies about a much better life in a rose-coloured, distant future, you will learn to focus on everyday activities in the here and now. Despite mundane chores being uninteresting and boring, they give you a unique opportunity to silence that eternally droning voice in your head with its myriad what-ifs and yeah-buts. You will discover inner peace, but also an unprecedented feeling of contentment and new insights that will give your life an incredibly POSITIVE BOOST.

Emotional Intelligence versus Ego

The Karma Kickstart exercises help you become aware of your own ego and that of those around you. As you have become so intertwined with the tricks of your ego during the course of your life, these are difficult to recognise when your mindfulness muscle is not trained. Now you will learn to RISE ABOVE NEGATIVE THOUGHTS produced by your ego. You will free yourself from senseless judging which only makes life shallow and stressful, and instead enjoy HAPPINESS, CLARITY and WARM RELATIONS — with yourself and your loved ones.
