Learn Self-Inquiry Meditation — a powerful self-development method for body and mind
From 70 C$ /h
Self-Inquiry is a mindfulness-based healing method, ideal for people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, burnout and psychosomatic symptoms.
I love things that are simple, practical, and effective... something you should be able to explain to a 10-year-old. Self-Inquiry is a method for restoring and maintaining healthy balance — something that really should be taught in school. It is practical, straightforward, and profoundly effective.
The method is based on the principle that the signals we receive from the body are designed to guide us toward a happy, healthy, and long life. In spiritual traditions, this collection of signals is often called “the Inner Compass.”
Just like a small cut on your finger heals on its own when the right conditions are created, the body can also heal energetic, emotional, and mental blockages when we listen and support the process.
The body is constantly communicating with you — through pain, tension, pressure but also through feelings and emotions, love, inspiration, curiosity, and vitality. Even though the body is always trying to guide us toward happiness, many of us in the Western world have never learned how to listen to it or act in alignment with its signals.
So... back to basics!
From my own experience, I know how tempting it can be to search for happiness outside yourself while ignoring what the body is trying to tell you. Fifteen years ago, I ended up in a burnout — a very loud message from the body that it was time for rest and reflection.
The good news is: you don’t need to wait until things get that far.
During the sessions, you will learn:
- how to reconnect with yourself, your body, and the signals it gives you — and how to translate those signals into daily life
- how to live in alignment with your deepest truth, your personal boundaries, and your deeper longings
I will give you the tools to explore your inner world and support your own healing. And I will guide you through regular, facilitated Self-Inquiry sessions to help you deepen the process. The combination of personal practice and periodic guided sessions provides the best results.
Additional Information for Students
These are online sessions, so you will need:
- a computer or laptop with a camera
- a stable internet connection
- a notebook for taking notes

About Me
**About Sebastian**
My name is Sebastiaan. I am a certified Rebalancing therapist and have over 13 years of professional experience in body-oriented work and self-exploration.
My own journey began from a desire to truly understand myself. Meditation, self-inquiry, and the Zen tradition have played an important role in this. Plant medicines have also been part of my personal development for more than twenty years.
Over the years, I have learned that real change does not come about solely by thinking about it. It often begins when we learn to listen to our bodies, our feelings, and our inner impulses.
In my guidance, I combine body awareness, Self Inquiry, meditation, and therapeutic dialogue. My role is not to tell you who you should be, but to create a safe space in which you can discover for yourself what lives within you and what truly feels right for you.

Hi, my name is Sebastiaan
I have been tutoring Mathematics and Physics for about 8 years now. Furthermore, I have a therapeutic background.
Over the years, I have expanded my support because I noticed that students are often smart enough, but that other factors, such as stress, fear of failure, and a lack of structure, prevent them from achieving the grades they desire and are capable of.
It makes me happy to see students develop and to be able to contribute to their growth process and their success.
Friends describe me as:
- Calm
- Helpful
- Straightforward
- Sincerely
- Conscious
- Sensitive
Sober
- Funny, at unguarded moments
If you have any questions, feel free to send me a message.
Success is sweet, especially when you've worked hard for it! So let's go!
See you soon, Sebastiaan
