CAN IT BE DIFFERENT?
Burnout, depression, anxiety, a sense of guilt, meaninglessness, worthlessness, loneliness, insecurity? We all have to deal with it – directly or indirectly. Our prosperity is going well and we are making one technological advance after another. And yet we all seem to be becoming more unhappy, anxious and lonely.
Why?
And can it be done differently?
Life is a challenge, we all know that. But we don’t know how best to deal with it. We are more familiar with solving a technical problem than with solving a psychological question. We understand the physical nature of the world around us better than our own inner nature. Psychologically we have lagged behind and we are still in the stone age. But what if our inner nature is already naturally happy and healthy and we just need to get to know it better?
It can be done differently!
We all have in equal measure a natural, inner and free capacity to live happily. This inner capacity is the space that we just naturally already have. Nature is the same for all of us. An inner free capacity means that there is always room to answer. The question now is: “How do you do that in a way that really works for you?”
By discovering your natural skills!
NATURE MEANS REALITY.
BECAUSE HOW CAN SOMETHING THAT IS NATURAL NOT BE REAL?

NATURAL SKILLS PSYCHOLOGY
Everything we do psychologically has a universal why and a universal how. The why is the natural basis for all our doing, thinking and letting and refers to our deep inner nature. It is the basis of our humanity. This basis consists of three pillars:
Three pillars of natural skills
The desire and ability to be happy and not be in pain.
It has an inner, unlimited space.
The natural interconnectedness of existence.
The how has to do with how psychology can naturally fulfill our deep desire for happiness, freedom and connection. These are the natural skills. Insight into this psychological why and how leads to realistic, humane and successful action.
The Natural skills psychology offers the knowledge and skills of this why and how. It explains why some things work psychologically by nature and some things don’t by nature. And if you know what works and what doesn’t, you automatically know how to take the right steps. You then no longer lose energy to things that naturally cannot work. Moreover, you effortlessly learn to sail along with what naturally works.

NATURAL SKILLS: THE ART OF RELATIONSHIP
Natural skills are the natural, psychological building blocks for a healthy and happy life. They are the natural functions of our consciousness. These are the same for all of us. Everyone has these natural skills in equal measure.
Our natural skills make it possible to respond to what is happening in our lives. They can be summed up in one word: relationship. Relationship is the way we relate to ourselves and our environment. Life is relationship, without relationship there is no life. The degree to which we are familiar with our natural skills – the degree of self-knowledge – determines the quality of our relationships and our lives.
The most important natural skills are:
Natural skills training
Perception naturally occurs from the inside out.
The connection between thought & feeling shapes our state of being.
The conditioning nature of our psyche & the force of habit.
The ability of having conscious attention.
The ability to change yourself.
