Life Lessons from Motorcycles – Where the Road Meets Spirit by Liz Jansen

>> Thursday, February 26, 2015


A compilation of the twelve individual Life Lessons from Motorcycle books.



Drawn from hundreds of thousands of miles of riding over more than four decades, the 900 life lessons are highly personal, timeless, and often repeated in creative ways. The true beauty of motorcycles, as any rider knows, is that they connect you with Spirit and ultimately with yourself.



Where the Road Meets Spirit is a compilation of the twelve individual Life Lessons from Motorcycle books.



Bring together a motorcycle and rider and alchemy is inevitable. Not only does each partner unite and become as one, the merger is transformative, creating a new state of being. One is transported from the past to the magic and timelessness of present moment.



The lessons motorcycles evoke are practical yet esoteric, awakening all senses, and nourishing body, mind, and spirit in a way that nothing else can. They call to one’s sense of adventure, creativity, compassion—and passion. They’re wise, compassionate, and lead by example. They’re also unforgiving, which is why their lessons are so meaningful.



While words can come close to describing this partnership, its true richness and depth comes only through experience. Each ride is uniquely personal and I cannot speak for anyone else. The 900 lessons that follow are an attempt to recreate what’s come about through hundreds of thousands of miles of riding over more than four decades. Like the ride, the teachings are timeless and often repeated in fascinating and beautiful ways.



It is however the lessons of the spirit where motorcycles truly excel. As any rider knows, motorcycles connect you with Spirit and ultimately with yourself.









About Liz Jansen


I’m an author, writer, facilitator, and adventurer. I work with people to see that when they've mastered two wheels, they can master anything. I help them to discover their strengths, and explore and overcome the things that hold them back so that they can start to do what they really want with their life.



I help people who are considering change, dealing with change, or going through life transitions, create the life they want.



Whether their experience is personally or professionally initiated, the learnings are transferable to all areas of their life.



Because a motorcycle has figured so prominently in my life, I use the stories and metaphors from these experiences to inspire others.

The Twelve Steps of Twelve-Step programs can be used to attain spiritual transformation and unshackle the true self from the constraints of the ego. Codependency expert Darlene Lancer describes how each of the Twelve Steps should be practiced and is so designed to achieve this spiritual awakening.

The Twelve Steps are based upon universal principles, which provide an effective model for living. “Working the steps” not only frees you of addiction, but also a holds the promise of a personality transformation, attested to by thousands of members of Twelve-Step programs. Incorporating concepts of Carl Jung, Lancer provides an in-depth examination of each step from a psycho-spiritual point of view. The result is the same whether or not one has a traditional view of God or is an atheist.

Renowned psychiatrist Carl Jung had a major influence on the founder of Alcoholics Anonymous, Bill Wilson. Jung believed that each person has a personal journey of transformation to enable expression of his or her innate potential. Jung felt that this transformation involved replacing the ego with the larger Self as the driving force of one’s life and that spirit replacing spirits could cure alcoholism.

Wonderen met woorden – Coach jezelf met logosynthese by Willem Lammers

>> Thursday, October 30, 2014


Je zegt één zin en je voelt hoe angst, boosheid of schaamte uit je bewustzijn verdwijnen. Stel je voor hoe de oorzaken van pijn en verdriet je niet meer kwetsen en je lichaam zich ontspant. Logosynthese is een verrassend nieuw systeem voor zelfcoaching. Het gebruikt de kracht van woorden om negatieve overtuigingen op te lossen, angst, verdriet, schaamte en schuldgevoelens los te laten.



Logosynthese is een nieuwe, efficiënte methode om beter om te gaan met de valkuilen, blokkades, versperringen en wegomleggingen op je levenspad. Je leert om jezelf te coachen, of beter nog: om je door je Zelf te laten coachen. Jouw eigen Zelf, je Essentie, is namelijk de beste coach. Het Zelf heeft steeds een helder doel voor ogen, het is volledig in contact met mensen, het weet wanneer het hulp nodig heeft maakt zichzelf niet afhankelijk, en het kan en wil leren. In onze huidige op effectiviteit en efficiëntie gerichte maatschappij is een dergelijke coach goud waard. Jij hebt hem al en hij is er altijd voor jou.

Logosynthese helpt je om die coach in jezelf te ontdekken en het contact met het eigen, ware Zelf, te herstellen.

Met deze eenvoudige maar doeltreffende methode kun je gericht werken aan het oplossen van alledaagse problemen maar ook diepere levensvragen: Hoe maak ik tijd en energie vrij voor de leuke dingen in het leven? Hoe verbeter ik mijn prestaties en werk ik effciënter? Hoe herken en bereik ik mijn levensdoelen?

Je bevrijdt jezelf van emotionele beschadigingen, verstarde gedachten en vastgeroeste gedragspatronen. Zo kun je je leven fundamenteel veranderen.
