Keen Intuition with Linda on the 1st Tuesday of the Month at 11AM PST starting December 3rd, 2024
She began her metaphysical practice in 1978 in the Netherlands after discovering her aptitude for using her intuition to help others.
Providing support to clients looking for significant answers to questions concerning a soul’s purpose in everyday life, Linda unwittingly pioneered an entirely new method of training within the Dutch self-help community. Her book, Intuitieve Ontwikkeling (Intuitive Development), published in 1985, soon became a bestseller (the book recently went into its 19th printing in Holland) and remains a landmark resource for those seeking encouragement in this field.
The most striking realization Linda had in the course of her work was how each and every human being has full access to his or her own elaborate body of spiritual information—if only they have the interest required to seek and find it. This access is one of the lesser-known and/or acknowledged gifts of the remarkable human psyche.
As many now know, the gift of the imagination is truly the most powerful tool we humans possess in determining our ability to “be still and know,” and it remains the primary source of all our self-healing.
As co-founder in 1987 of Mens & Intuitie (People & Intuition), one of the largest schools for energy awareness and intuitive healing in the Netherlands (with up to 350 weekly trainees), Linda, a mother of four children, spent sixteen years in that country as healer, meditation teacher, and published author. In 1993, she and her family left the Netherlands to live on the West Coast of the United States. Her school was eventually handed over to a number of graduates who helped keep the content of this institution alive.
In 1998, her bestselling Dutch book Intuitieve Ontwikkeling (Intuitive Development) was published in English in the USA—entitled Intuition Magic: Understanding Your Psychic Nature. In 2019, Keen Press published a beautiful new edition of this same title and content.
Linda has been featured on national television and radio as an author (including NPR’s All Things Considered) and has written a total of seven books, two of them illustrated children’s books published in the Netherlands in the Dutch language.
A quote by Dr. Seuss, who shares the same day of birth as Linda (March 2nd): “Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don’t matter and those who matter don’t mind.”
“Integration of all that we know and can accomplish” remains Linda’s mission.
Before the session, you will choose your session type on this website by selecting how many minutes you feel you want or need. If you don’t know, you can easily start with a 60-minute session in order to discover your needs.
My 60-minute and 90-minute Journeying Soul sessions begin with down-to-earth dialogue to establish the purpose and hopes of your visit and to ask any vital questions and concerns you are bringing to the session. To begin, it is highly recommended that you have pen and paper on hand in order to save and be able to later recall images, sensations, and messages which can come and go at a rapid pace during the session. These impressions will offer some real gems which can later be referred to both during and after your session in ongoing discussion with me. The notes you take on your journey can also be invaluable for long-term retention and understanding of what has been “happening,” and you will then be able to refer to these memories and experiences for self-help after each session is completed.
I begin by inviting you, the seeker, to first start a simple relaxation process in the peaceful setting of your own physical surroundings. This can be accomplished quickly with easy focused breathing techniques, allowing you to “own” and become comfortable with going inward and into the quietness of Self. Along with the flowing rhythm of gentle breathing, you will be invited to focus your attention in your heart center of your head (or either one at various times, whichever feels best to you) in order to connect via your imagination with the archetypes of Mother Earth and Father Sky. From here, I will guide you to a place of total safety as you begin to establish a unique setting of your own which I like to call your Sanctuary or Secret Garden. It is from this base of operation where you may meet with the archetype some call The Inner Teacher and will begin to discover the tremendous power within you to “ask and receive,” to “know,” to “see,” to “hear,” to “sense” information which you ordinarily might not have access to except in your dreams, daydreams, or fleeting fantasies. I liken this other-worldly involvement to what babies or young children possibly experience in their first years on Earth. And you will be able to combine this blissful and innocent state of mind with your unique creative and inspired capacities, all via your own imagination. And, of course, I will be there with you as your trusty tour guide! And you will be able to talk to me anytime you want, and I will be able to talk to you.
When you are finished with your journey, I will guide you carefully and safely back to the familiar surroundings of your physical location. At this time, I will ask you to imagine certain things so you will feel you have arrived “back on Earth,” so to speak, even if your entire journey might have been specifically on Earth right in the glory of nature. You will have time to decompress and take notes in silence while I wait until I feel we should begin talking.
As it is very common in our culture to rarely or seldom experience naturally a heightened centeredness within the True Self, being guided to this amazingly powerful place can be an important turning point in your life. We can call this heightened state of awareness meditation, trance, hypnosis, etc., but it all comes down to the very same thing: going within in order to freely travel unlimited realms of the non-physical world in safety.
Special Note: Even if you experience fear, anxiety, or any other discomfort during your journey, I am there to help and support you completely in the process. However, feeling uncomfortable in any way can turn out to be one of the most valuable gems you could possibly uncover or end up taking away from your journey. For, as bright light casts a dark shadow, the practice of facing and dealing with any disturbances right on the spot can (and most likely will) be remarkably liberating!
For best results, I recommend at least 3 to 4 sessions to fully access areas of your True Self; however, you are free to choose as few or as many journeys as you’d like!
What was your first moment of ‘beyond 3d normal awakening’?
Since I was born but didn’t realize until I started sensing/seeing things that apparently others were not. Then I suppose starting to form my own inner world that did not appear to match with others around me, i.e my family even though they were also very sensitive people.
Who is your favourite teacher, book and movie?
Yogananda and John Lennon are my favorite teachers. My favorite book at the moment is my own book The Dream Keepers (Amazon), and movie…I love old movies
What’s the strangest experience you’ve ever had?
I guess that would be when I percieve realities that are real and when no one else can see or appreciate them.
What’s one interesting thing we do not know about you yet?
How much we are influenced by non-physical realities and how to relate to them in a positive and non-fearful way.
What do you feel your true life purpose to be?
Since a very young age…to help fellow humans, animals, nature, our environment, our ability to teach healing methods.
What’s your favourite animal?
I don’t have a favourite because all animals are important! It is how our Earth has continued to stay alive and healthy.
What’s your favourite consciousness or energy ‘exercise’ that helps you stay connected, grounded and ‘tuned in’ in a good way?
For more than fifty years, I have practiced Paramahansa’s “Energization Exercises” in conjunction with daily prayer and meditation and journaling and writing of books.
What’s your favourite music / song / musical artist?
I have played the violin all of my life as well as singing and song writing which I will never give up. My favorite musical artists are John Lennon as well as Beyond Abbey on Spotify
What’s your favourite food?
Ethnic food from all countries! Right now I have a Chinese roomie so I love Chinese food at the moment!
What excites your creative juices?
I’ve played violin all my life and also professionally in various bands, so music, singing and songwriting are very exciting. In additon, writing books! I have written four which are published on Amazon and do not intend to stop any time soon.
What’s the one thing you’d like to “shamelessly self promote” here today?
Well, I guess that would be my intention to keep on helping people and all living creatures on our beloved Planet Earth until the day I die, which I hope is a very long time from now!
