The inwarders

In this 29th episode of “The inwarders” podcast, it is time to make a fundamental distinction between what we experience, based on the thoughts, feelings and sensations we perceived, and the “Reality” of what we are. Find out why it is essential to consciously choose what to manifest in our life.

Annabelle & Mikan wish you a Happy New Year, filled with light and joy. Finding the Presence within is only one step toward awakening. So today, Annabelle asks Mikan: 1)Why our spiritual path consist of aligning ourselves with the Presence within? 2) What does it imply? 3) And what happens when we are fully identified with it?

Instead of looking back on 2021, Annabelle suggests to look inward.  In this 27th episode of "The inwarders” Podcast, Annabelle shares the difference between: - looking back on 2021 from our Ego-Self point of view, trying to define what were our success or failure, - and looking inward, observing what’s going on while Being perfectly at peace with what is. There is another way to approach the end of the year and stay present to ourselves. As usual, it starts with going inward. Annabelle & Mikan wish you a wonderful end of the year season filled with light and joy. The podcast will resume in January 2022.   Resources from this episode: Episode 8 – How to find the Observer within us Episode 12 – Meditation and Experiencing the Observer within us Episode 13 – How silent inactivity regenerates us Episode script: https://www.theinwarders.com/blog-1 Contact Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/the_inwarders/ Book a free coaching session with Mikan van Zanten at www.iammikan.com Mikan van Zanten YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkxDhTTsZrV-oZVG_A57Xw

In this 25th episode of "The inwarders” Podcast, I ask Mikan what God wants from us. Since July, I have been listening to “The Bible in a Year”, Father Mike Schmitz podcast. Hoping I could build a bridge between my spiritual experience of the Presence within me and what the Bible could teach me about God. First, Father Mike is just amazing and I strongly recommend the podcast, even if like me you don’t necessarily have a very religious background. He makes studying the bible easy and fun. Second, my understanding of what the Bible is and what kind of relationship God is expecting from us accrued. If like me, you’ve ever wondered if God expects something from us, this episode is for you.   Resources from this episode: “The bible in a year” podcast: https://podcasts.google.com/search/The%20Bible%20in%20a%20Year%20%28with%20Fr.%20Mike%20Schmitz%29 Derek Prince YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzTWdr_9IVWWmeStz5qDjoA Episode script: https://www.theinwarders.com/blog-1 Contact Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/the_inwarders/ Book a free coaching session with Mikan van Zanten at www.iammikan.com Mikan van Zanten YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkxDhTTsZrV-oZVG_A57Xw

In this 25th episode of "The inwarders” Podcast, I share with you how I realized that we all deserve the best out of life. After observing thoughts and feelings of unworthiness from my Observer or Presence within, I understood I was restricting gifts from my Being. My Ego-Self was the one filtering through with beliefs. Being present to ourselves and observe our thoughts and feelings is one way to let that go.   Resources from this episode: Episode 7: “Why what we identify with matters”: https://www.theinwarders.com/podcast/episode/431ca505/07-what-we-identify-with-matters Tina Chan HK Exhibition: https://www.jtia.hk/en/exh_chans/ Tina Chan Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/arttinachan/ This episode script: https://www.theinwarders.com/blog-1 Contact Annabelle via theinwarders.com or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/the_inwarders/ Book a free coaching session with Mikan van Zanten at iammikan.com Mikan van Zanten YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkxDhTTsZrV-oZVG_A57Xw

In serie n°24 of "The inwarders” Podcast, Annabelle asks Mikan how we can best contribute to our kids’ growth and wellbeing. As adults we are conscious of being on a spiritual path. We read the books, listen to the podcasts, watch the videos, talk to our coach or therapist, whatever it is we are actively going inward. But one day, as parents, it is no longer about our growth. So I wondered if I could support my children’s on their own path. So they would also know who they are, being able to experience life with the least amount of resistances possible. That’s what I “want” for them. And that’s precisely the problem. While Mikan is answering my question, I realize I want to contribute to my children’s growth to avoid for them to go through the challenges and suffering I went through before experiencing the Presence within. But what Mikan answers is that we are all already doing the best we can. At the level of consciousness we are at. And that’s fine. Whatever or whenever we feel this is not enough, we need to address it. And by following our internal intuition, we will be best guided in supporting our kids’ growth and wellbeing, only if that is required and / or they show a special interest for it.   Recommendations: Rupert Spira YouTube video on “Teaching Children About Their True Nature”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJGwYpvLydY Contact Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or Instagram https://www.instagram.com/the_inwarders/ Try a free coaching session with Mikan at www.iammikan.com or watch Mikan’s YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkxDhTTsZrV-oZVG_A57Xw

In serie n°23 of "The inwarders” Podcast, I share with you my own experience of “the mirror effect” with my kids and how becoming aware of it helped to create a better relationship with my daughter. Being conscious and present helps to keep our “Mother Guilt” friend at a safe distance from us. It all becomes easier when we start going inward.   Recommendations: Contact Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/the_inwarders/ Book your free coaching session with Mikan at www.iammikan.com or watch his YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPkxDhTTsZrV-oZVG_A57Xw

In serie n°22 of "The inwarders” Podcast, Annabelle shares what triggered important changes when she got a second chance at life. There is a certain clarity about what really matters to us when we think we are not going to make it. But it doesn’t have to go that far to ask ourselves the right questions. Change starts with going inward.

In serie n°21, Annabelle explains why her day to day problems do not arise from what she calls “challenges” but from her own resistances to them. By acknowledging what is already here, she frees some life energy, stops creating unacessary disturbances and things just solve themselves out. Aim for the absence of resistances versus the absence of challenges You can now follow "The inwarders" on Instagram. Email Annabelle & Mikan via: www.theinwarders.com or www.iammikan.com  

In serie n°20 of "The inwarders" podcast, Annabelle and Mikan discuss how it is possible to experience being delayed in awakening from the perspective of our Ego Mind while Being at the same. This experience is due to some remaining karma that needs to be addressed or being consciously experienced. At the same time we are aware of searching, working hard at awakening we can notice that which is aware of this delay within us, it is called the direct path, and all of it is just Being. From the perspective of Being, there is no linear progression. But to become aware of the Ego Mind as being part of Being, without separation, we need to cease rejection. For example, stop rejecting who we are, including our Ego Mind self, personality, etc. Or stop rejecting an experience. Ironically, while recording, Annabelle experienced many disturbances (from outside and inside her home), some have been removed during editing, and some have been kept to show how she embraces the experience and just accept what is already there. This unusual recording holds two practical examples of how we become aware of what’s in our experience and just accept it.   Try a coaching session with Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or with Mikan via www.iammikan.com Follow the inwarders podcast on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annabellefoussier

In serie n°19 of "The inwarders” Podcast, Annabelle explains how she realized life mirrors what she broadcasts. By becoming more conscious about what we send out there in the World, we understand the many different impacts we have. Not only we can observe it, but we can also choose what to create for us and others. Steps: 1. First, we take a hard and honest look at our life. Is there anything life mirrors back at us, we don’t like? 2. Second, we switch the energy we no longer want that corresponds to what we want to remove out of our experience. 3. Third, we align our energy with the energy necessary to create what we desire. That includes removing resistances by letting go of wanting and addressing what is there before we act (see Serie n°9 for the entire discussion). 4. Finally, it’s like adjusting a radio station until we find the right channel. It requires to be patient and adjust until we are happy with what life mirrors back at us. Creation takes time, it’s best to focus on what we truly desires.   Recommendations: “Reality transurfing steps I-V” by Vadim Zeland “Your Dream Life” Podcast by Kristina Karlsson “The secret” by Rhonda Byrne (https://www.amazon.com/Secret-Rhonda-Byrne/dp/1582701709) also available as a movie Email Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or Mikan via www.iammikan.com Follow the inwarders podcast on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annabellefoussier

In serie n°18 of "The inwarders Podcast", Annabelle and Mikan discuss the difference between playing in a finite versus an infinite game relative to spirituality and awakening: Finite game: there are known players, fixed rules and an agreed upon objective. We play to win. To beat the other players or teams. Infinite game: there are known and unknown players, changeable rules and the objective is to stay/be in the game as long as possible, infinitely. Do you know the game you are in? In the finite game, we are comparing ourselves to others. We find ourselves in a finite game because we attach values to what we perceive. Our perceptions are such that we compare. Then, we start desiring or wanting things. Those values give energie to our creations. When we realize the finite game, we want to get out of it. But the finite game is part of the infinite game. Wanting to get out of it is still playing finite. To actually play an infinite game, there is a shift of perspective, of what we are and what life is about. That shift is awakening.   Recommendation: Simon Sinek the finite / infinite game (3:27 min): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZCB-0LWAmxw Try a coaching session with Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or with Mikan via www.iammikan.com Follow the inwarders podcast on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annabellefoussier

In serie n°17 of "The inwarders Podcast", Annabelle shares why most people are reluctant to be responsible for what’s happening in their life. By always holding another person or event responsible for what we don’t like in our experience we prevent us from  healing. Being responsible doesn't mean at fault.  How to overcome this issue: First step – take responsibility for whatever happens in your experience but be conscious that being in charge doesn’t mean at fault. That carries a judgement. Their should be none. Second step – if you still feel at fault for an event, just process it by being aware and accepting that feeling Third step – once the fault is processed, just be responsible for what’s happening in your life, you are in charge, not a victim Four step – you are now ready to address any resistances popping up Fifth step – learn how to address your resistances in previous series: Serie n° 15: “We start were we resist” Serie n°9: “Address what is there before we act” Serie n°1: “How to address and investigate our feelings” Recommendations: Try a coaching session with Annabelle via www.theinwarders.com or with Mikan via www.iammikan.com Follow the inwarders podcast on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/annabellefoussier

Are you curious about MEDITATION?  Maybe you have tried before and it was hard. Annabelle shares her experience, ups and downs to help you. This serie follows serie n°8 “How to find the Observer within us”. Before you experience the Observer, discover what it is and how to find it within yourself. Then, you can come back to serie 12 later. What to expect: What a meditation practice looks like when we don’t know about the Observer within. Most practices are helping us to quiet our mind, so we can become aware of the Presence within. Our meditation practice is very different when we know what to look for when we go inward. Our Presence is unchanged, but our experience of it changes over time. What matters is to be present to ourselves, not so much what our meditation looks like from outside. The inwarders podcast will resume on the 10th of September after a break.

Have you ever been criticised? Either through self-critics or from people around you? It is especially difficult to handle critics at the beginning of a project or life change as we tend to be more vulnerable. In this serie, Annabelle & Mikan discuss: How to deal with critics: embrace the experience and avoid overreaction. How to deal with the person who brought the critic to our attention. How to be at peace while we experience critics, simultaneously. How to handle praises and why real freedom is being “still” either through critics or praises.

There is a time to work and there is a time to celebrate. After we accomplish something comes gratitude and celebration. We often rush into the next steps as if only the end of the journey mattered. Take a break and look back. In this serie, Annabelle shares her own experience celebrating the 10 first episodes of “The inwarders” podcast: Our appreciation and gratitude depend on the level of our identification (Ego Self vs Being) Celebration allows us to embrace all there is in our experience: happiness from the experience itself, along with happiness from Being Rushing into the next steps without taking the time to relate might be a way to avoid some hidden feelings After we embrace fully what is there to experience, the next steps come clearly and easily Contact us at: www.iammikan.com or www.theinwarders.com Recommendations: Updated introduction to The inwarders podcast: https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-4tqe2-1016b7f
