Exploring Manifestation, Entrepreneurship and Card Decks with Neel Van Lierop

Have you ever felt like life was simply a never-ending hamster wheel of stress, a constant endless battle to balance everything thrown at you? It is a feeling many people experience, often we turn to practices of yoga, meditation, mindfulness, and more to focus on self-care, releasing stress, searching out ways of finding that inner peace. Stress plays a huge role in our lives, in every part of every day. Many of life’s decisions, big and small, can be stress-driven. Often this leads to a cycle of being addicted to stress. Yes, stress can be addictive! Stress is so much more than being worried or overextended, it can significantly affect both mental and physical health. Put simply, stress is the way our body responds to demands, positive and negative. Our body's stress response also can make us feel good. This can lead to a cycle of taking on more and more stress, resulting in that feeling of being trapped on the hamster wheel with no way of breaking free. It takes great internal strength to overcome stress, and everyone does so in different ways. One self-development method that has become increasingly widely used is manifestation. Manifestation is the practice of embracing intentional, aspirational thoughts, and then making them a reality in one's physical life. There are many different approaches and methods of manifestation, overall it is a process of opening up within, realizing one's true self, and then embracing that untapped true potential. Manifestation has become popular in the mainstream over the last few years, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, however, it is not new, manifestation is based on ancient beliefs and philosophies of interconnectedness. This recent I Heart My Life Show episode presents an intimate conversation with Neel van Lierop, self-development expert, spiritual guru, and intuitive entrepreneur. She is the founder and author of the Inner Compass Cards, a self-development and manifestation tool used to help people connect with themselves. Neel shares a bit of her journey and inspiration behind the Inner Compass Cards as well as some of her thoughts on manifestation with our founder and host Emily Williams. Emily uses the Inner Compass Cards in both personal and professional capacity, including sharing them with clients. In this episode she connects with Neel, learning more about the inspiration behind the cards, and how Neel herself uses them. Neel shares how she overcame many personal obstacles to reach a place of living without stress controlling her life. She explains how her transformation from living in the “rat race”, stressed out, sick, unfulfilled, led her on a journey of personal healing and manifestation. That path in turn led her to develop the Inner Compass Cards and guidebooks, something she uses daily to continue living a life that is not mandated or ruled by stress.
