your persona is a necessity

And for more reasons than one, and none of them because your ego needs pampering.

The world has changed, and far, far more than we can currently comprehend.

But we can no longer walk around barefoot.

The past five months, my work has absolutely flatlined. The moment I started a Dutch yoga company called “De Club“, which meant I had to set-up both a local yoga business again, as well as create content for my Dutch YouTube channel, where I would run the same program as in my classes;
Nothing, got done.

And because in many other areas of life, October 2023 to February 2024 have been five drama-filled months, it took me a while to realize that the reason of the flatlining was a different one.
That even though after a hiatus of being a yoga professional, I had obviously given this whole idea of starting teaching yoga again a lot of thought;
It had not been enough.

I had never been blocking because of circumstances, the blueprint of my new yoga work was simply incomplete (at best).
The design had not been completely thought through, and it had been the circumstances, which had prevented me from muscling through.

A blessing in disguise.

Because even though the series and the classes had already begun, and I have felt bad about not promoting them and about not creating new content for this series which was supposed to have weekly videos (or I did create it, and then threw the videos away);
It would have been worse if I had been able to sustain it.

If after six months of creating content, and promoting my classes promising a certain thing- I was then brought to a halt because of things happening in my life, and then put in reverse because I no longer felt a click to the work I was offering.

At least now, the damage is minimal.

The short version of what happened is that I was too focused on the yoga  itself, both in my videos as well as what I thought my classes would be about-
That I had overlooked the world has changed so much, the real work lies  in there.

In changing the world.

In teaching “yoga practitioners” at a very early stage, ages before they will even think about starting yoga, how to create a LIFE, that can actually hold yoga.

Similarly to me needing to focus on creating a LIFE, that can actually hold making yoga videos and running local classes.

I call it teapot and tea;
If we don’t have a teapot (our life does not have structure), then we cannot hold tea (a yoga practice).
Learning yoga, or making plans to do yoga, will not be effective until we have a structure it can go into.

Just like a plan to make yoga videos and to build new local yoga classes is futile, as long as I do not have the life structure in place that will hold this.

I even created a new international platform, Club Local Yoga, to do this work for the world, because the way I see it, we’re all in it.
No one, has escaped their world and reality having been altered to one that can no longer hold yoga, or any of the things we used to take for granted.

The teapots of our lives, are broken.

The way I see it, smartphones and internet have been hacking our brains, compromising our sense of time and affecting our ability to focus on our body. To focus on the now.

Internet and smartphones have doubled our realities, and multiplied problems of keeping our thoughts coherent and on things that matter.
Every click brings a new algorithm fighting for our attention.

There is too much to talk about, and this blogpost has already surpassed the level of being a quick message for Rock Stars.
But let me illustrate it with this;

Where having a “Rock Star persona” in the 20th century was something you only needed if you wanted to become a Rock Star, whether in music or in a different field, a different career;
In the 21st century, having Rock Star boundaries, focus, boldness, and faith in yourself, is a prerequisite.

Fifty years from now they will look back at the tens (2010-2019) as the time we all disappeared into our phones. Where most of us drowned, in the flood of media. Where we no longer had free will, but were ruled by the noise of the world.

My guess is in the late 30s, we will see a broader movement on the liberation of people from their phones and other media.
Leading to a time when we know how to balance the online with the offline.
To create a teapot that can hold both a smartphone as well as yoga, and other things we value.

But until then, it’s going to require Rock Star strength for you to be successful IN the world, which will largely require your online presence too;
And at the same time to be offline, and train and preserve the concentration and PRESENCE, that is an incremental part of your skillset.

It will require every inch of your Rock Star personality, and for extensive periods of time, to keep your teapot whole, your integrity intact, and the foundation of your life in place.
So you can build a life.

And the blink of an eye, to see it burned to the ground.

THE ROCK STAR

.
THE ROCK STAR, is Catacombe’s signature 3 hour session, where the teapot analogy is just the beginning of what you know your life is here to hold.

THE ROCK STAR is a one-time investment, and our conversation is confidential.

To book, email me at:
s_beenackers@hotmail.com

Terms and conditions at:
https://catacombenijmegen.com/terms-conditions/

Once we know we are a good fit, my price is accepted by you and you choose to make a booking;
We move.

It is possible the above story has already given you an outline of what you want to discuss.

If you think you would benefit from a broader approach, my suggestion will be to sort your story into:

1. the earthly plane
Your possessions, worldly matters, income streams, worries and responsibilities you fear you can’t meet.
A helpful term could be how do things look from the perspective of financial freedom, or worldly freedom.

2. your purpose
What is the work you love doing, what are the moments big or small, that you know you are aligned. Has God told you, what you’re here for?
This is about creative freedom, or even karmic freedom.
Are you free to do the work, that is yours?

3. your Rock Star expansion
What is the fullest expression you are here to bring?
And what are the areas you’re playing small, as if cut off from your powers?
We investigate if in those areas, the rules you play by are yours, or society’s.
“3” is related to sexual freedom.
Like anything, it is up to you if that is part of our conversation or not.

Because all three points are just a suggestion, they offer a good framework providing one hour for every topic, to go deeper looking for answers.
But the setlist is not fixed.

I have merely built the stage for us, and we have three hours.

It is up for you to take it.
