of Tummo coaching. She Is Dutch and living in Asia. The owner of
Tummo coaching. She Is Dutch and living in Asia. Eefke started her
business in 2006 in The Netherlands Tummo Coaching is an online
Training and Coaching Academy to reach your full potential. Eefke
helps you with your Personal, Spiritual and Business growth. To
become the best version of yourself in Business and Personal
life. Eefke’s business philosophy is built on genuine love
for people. For twenty years, she has worked as a Human Resource
professional for some very successful organizations and her career
has been full of opportunity and reward. But she was always missing
something in her life. Then, she went through a storm in private
life and was forced to take a few steps back and look at her life,
career, and relationships. She went on an inner journey and
reinvented herself as a result. What she discovered was her true
essence. What she experienced was a floating river inside of
herself. After this experience, she decided to dedicate her life to
facilitating people’s awareness and consciousness Today Eefke
offers a wide range of programs and services - from online coaching
and training to seminars and keynote Eefke moved from her home in
the Netherlands to Vietnam to experience growth and surround
herself with similar energy. Eefke's choice was not
spontaneous. Due to several unfortunate circumstances, the most
notable, losing her immediate family within a years time. Feeling
alone in the world but still having emotional ties with her
deceased sister's children left Eefke at a crossroads. She
decided it was time be happy. Her driving force of joy stemmed from
helping others directly. While taking an inventory of her
situation, it was noted she could help more people if more direct
contact was had with the individuals seeking such help.
That Familiar Voice
Eefke decided to listen to her guiding inner voice.
Collaborating with her inner voice led her to move away from
everything she was accustomed landing in
Vietnam.Surrounding herself with people of the same energy and
focus has helped Eefke stay focus and follow her heart. Vietnam
offers Eefke the opportunity to fine tune her own internal tuning
with the help of Monks and philosophy. [caption

New Firmware - Update your Mind
We are the products of ours environment. Parent,
teachers, relative friends, and culture dictate much of who we were
and are present. Human beings are not living intentionally. Most of
what we call our life is happy coincident, as we accept those
things and situation which come in our path. Often we are
stuck in a situation of someone else's creation. Eefke began
understanding, she was living by happenstance and decided to
make a change down the path of true discovery. The movie titled The
Matrix, some individuals are not ready for the reality of
boundless possibilities. Those who are not ready are not to be
forced but shown there is a path for them uniquely theirs. When
their time arrives, the pathway is clear for discovery.
The Monkey Mind
I loved Eefke's reference to The Monkey Mind we al posses. The
monkey mind is the voice which never shuts up. We
talked briefly about the monkey related to meditation
retreats. An observation Eefke made related towards people of
industrialized countries complain far more than necessary.
Those of us who live in these industrialized nation make our
own problems when in truth, complain are creature comfort
observations. Many industrialized nation citizens
also have problems shutting their minds off. Thoughts flow
like tides to the shore, forever flowing back and forth. She
referenced Napoleon Hill in we don't need a faster horse, but
a car instead. We need to find our personal joy vehicle. The Monkey
mind is most evident to people newly introduced to meditation. Your
monkey mind will not shut the hell up. [caption

Joy and Happiness, not the same
Joy is the feeling from within one's self. Happiness is an external
construct of human beings. Which are you searching to obtain? It
seems clear if you live your joy, happiness will find you where
ever you are located. Again Passion is the fuel to your joy.
Remember the last time you got excited about something in your life
and thought about it constantly, that is passion. Passion make you
feel really good and puts us in the flow of life. The modern
problem is conformity, we fail to find and hold on to our passion,
or let other people talk us out of following our dreams. This is
most true for young adults, all in the name of security and
conformity.
Here are few things to get you back on track:
- Listen - to your soul and quiet mind.
- Meditate at least 10 minutes a Day ( what is 10 minutes our of
24 Hours)
- Remember Passion is your fuel, observe your passions.
- Do what you LOVE!
- Stop the thing that brings your wrong Energy
- HAVE GRATITUDE.
- Remember Joy is internal, happiness is external.
Now Go live YOUR Billionaire Lifestyle!
