Silence week in Mandali with Tijn Touber

Where are my infinite, boundless ideas? That is the question I asked myself after day 3 of the silence week in Mandali with Tijn Touber. And then the insight came.

I went into the silence to find calm and to reflect on what the coming years will look like. In the silence you start to see it, you get it, and you know what you have to do and to bring.

Only... in the first few days nothing came at all.

Until, during the inspiration class, Tijn offered the insight: downloading and letting it come to you only becomes available once you are grateful. Aha. So I was going too fast.

The message was: see what is there, and what you already have. I picked up my notebook and started writing. What am I grateful for? The pen just kept on writing.

Wow, how beautiful that is. How warm. And how rich. And do you know what happened then? An endless download of inspiration and possibilities.
