Not because I was such a big believer. Much more because I wanted to understand what had happened with the concept of God. I was a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vrijzinnigen.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">minister<\/a> for eight years. It was a great time, because I felt free to explore, with the members of my congregation, what an up to date belief system could look like.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-203 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-3-e1697836412478-300x272.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"206\" height=\"187\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-3-e1697836412478-300x272.jpg 300w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-3-e1697836412478-768x696.jpg 768w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-3-e1697836412478.jpg 793w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 206px) 100vw, 206px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>After a while, however, I could not bring myself anymore to follow the rules and rhythms of Christianity. No matter how much liberty of interpretation I was given, the world had changed too much.<\/p>\n<p>It was hard to leave my job and the church because I had made it my life&#8217;s purpose to bring change there. It was a dark period for me. I tried out other options, like the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.diamondapproach.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ridhwan, <\/a>but somehow this did not satisfy my needs. Many of my congregation members had been interested in aura&#8217;s and near death experiences etc. I wanted to know what this was about and I took, rather reluctantly at first, training in aurareading and healing at the <a href=\"http:\/\/www,cli.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CLI<\/a>. When I started I was critical of energy work, but when I put my preconceptions to the test I had to admit there was something in it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-205 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-5-e1697836384937-300x275.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"187\" height=\"171\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-5-e1697836384937-300x275.jpg 300w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-5-e1697836384937-768x704.jpg 768w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-5-e1697836384937.jpg 784w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/> It took me a long time to realise what I did and did not believe.

Finally I had found something that made sense to me. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy is about being present in the body. This is the truest practice I know. I am grateful for everything humanity has learned through science, from microscopes and stargazers to embyology and attachment theories. I don&#8217;t have to deny any of that, while I can stay true to the felt sense of my body. Spiritual experience in this context is as real to me as music. Understanding myself as a moving organism relating to different ecosystems makes more sense to me than talking about a body versus a soul as if they are set and separate entities. Becoming aware how everything moves makes you aware of how everything is connected.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">My world feels whole again.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-207 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-7-e1697836333712-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-7-e1697836333712-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-7-e1697836333712-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/craniosacralamsterdam.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Foto-op-29-10-21-om-20.41-7-e1697836333712.jpg 719w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 190px) 100vw, 190px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Plus it is great fun to be part of the international Cranio Sacral Therapy community.
