You learn not to identify with a situation, so that you have more space to enjoy it. This can be a positive as well as a negative experience. I heartily recommend this course."
I'm able to create more mindfulness energy

During this 10-week course I have learned so much, and so fast, about how to become the observer of my thoughts. More and more I'm able to create mindful energy at any moment of the day. I feel more calm, more love, more aware. I'm very grateful that I had the opportunity to join this course. And thankful for Niels being such a great teacher and putting all this effort in making this knowledge accessible for me/us/others. You rock Niels!"
