Heart and Wings - Supporting your inner growth
We all have a choice.​​​
​
Find!
Everyone needs balance and longs for happiness. This comes first.
Some choose only to complain, others decide to change
This is the first choice
​
Inner Growth
Then some of us have the wish to spread their joy to those they care for.
This requires a different, more difficult type of training,
a training of the heart
This is the second choice
​
Inayati Meditations
Finally some of us choose to reach out
Discover what they really are,
Reach out to reach their full potential
This is the third choice

​​
First we need balance, and training of the mind
​
In these sessions, we don't just tell you what things to do.
We actually do them, and we do them together.
It is practice, not theory, that will gradually help you to become
a better, happier, wiser and stronger version of yourself.
In each session, there will be some small aspect of psychological theory,
there will be some text to inspire us,
perhaps a song or a poem at times.
We explain what we do and why we do it,
but mainly we take pleasure in practising together,
and try to encourage you to find the time to enjoy these practices at home,
in your daily work or just walking outside.
Single sessions are ok to try and see if these sessions feel right to you,
but true progress comes from repitition.
​
​
The heart has its own neurons, and its own 'thinking'.
The rythm at which a heart beats,
the so-called heart variability and heart coherence,
are powerful predictors -of the psychological and emotional state you are in
and even of how long you will live.
There is an electromagnetic quality to our heart,
which is the biggest generator of electric impulses in our body
Practising in a group means you get help and support from that group;
by being close to one another,
our hearts synchronize, literally.
​
That synchronization, along with the effort of each individual,
allows for the group to reinforce the learning,
accelerates the learning
​
For this reason,
it is also important to have someone with a certain experience to guide the group.
It is not just what is being said.
One can find most of the theory online, somewhere.
But by practising together, we are more likely to get a positive result,
the result willcome faster and easier
we are more likely to continue our practise,
and we can share about the specific difficulties or joys,
which we experience along the way
​​
We try to practise what we preach.
While we aim at providing excercises which are backed by science,
we also recognize science is limited and often restricted to a somewhat theoretical approach,
restrained by scientific framework.
​​
Our main inspiration therefore, comes forth from the sufi and daoist traditions,
cultivated and refined over centuries.
While daoist traditions are more oriented towards developing inner strength,
sufi traditions have thaught a warm, loving, and joyful way of going through life.
These traditions are true treasures.
They have been proven over time,
and in recent times the most experienced practitioners have been studied by science
discovering that the part of the brain most related to happiness
is much more developed in these people.
That only proves what was already known:
that these practices really make a difference in many areas:
reducing stress, being more succesful, more joyful, becoming less afraid,
being more warmhearted, more healthy, better able to deal with failure,
more likely to do good for other people,
being more optimistic and more confident.
​​
​
Having practised in the daoist and sufi tradition for some time,
over time a certain kind of inner strength
and an inner joy beyond words has been building up.
Naturally, one feels inclined to share them.
​
So, in the hope of doing some good,
in the hope of reaching some good people,
or helping some people in need,
we have tried to bring excercises from these traditions
which are also backed by and advocated by science,
so there is no need for fear or doubt.
We are attempting to give out a way of learning which is
respecting science and respecting the traditions
which gave birth to these practices.
​
For some, this may prove to be a stepping stone to learn about the old traditions,
and we will happily direct them to the schools where one can practise those.
For others, it may be sufficient just to experience and enjoy the practices.
​
It is our true hope that it will help you on your way.
Inner Growth (Free contribution - meditation classes on Friday)
​​​
Then we can learn to spread joy to those around us
​
Inner Growth is aimed at those of us who really wish to change themselves on a deeper level
Whereas 'Find!' is more about finding inner balance and happiness,
Inner Growth ​is about working on yourself in relation to others
Creating the habits and attitudes that give you the stength to become
more loving, more kind, more empathic, more intuitive...
Inner growth builds on ancient wisdom, modern scientific findings
and helps to control mind and emotions
using meditiative practices
t
Summer Series (free contribution)
​
Summer is a time to refresh ones mind, gather strength and gain new experiences.
The summer series is intended for those who wish to delve deeper inside themselves.
A genuine interest in developing the Self is required.
​
The theme and backbone for this series is 'characterbuilding', a small series of lectures by Hazrat Inayat Khan.
By consistently working on our selves, we can discover more about who we truly are.
Practices like meditation, visualisations and positive suggestions help us to overcome our weaknesses.
Doing this in a group allows us to go deeper and further then we could do by ourselves.
​
The sessions are free, as what is thought cannot be bought nor sold.
So please do not feel obliged to pay anything.
Only contribute if it is your hearts desire to contribute or to allow others to enjoy the series.
Opportunity to contribute will be offered at the beginning and at the end of the series.
​
Sessions will take between 1h and 1h30
