Nina Verkoeyen je izuzetna ličnost čiji rad ujedinjuje psihologiju i duhovnost na inovativan način, stvarajući jedinstven pristup poznat kao Meta Spirituality. Nakon dubokog duhovnog buđenja 2016. godine, Nina je otkrila nevidljive niti koje povezuju sve aspekte postojanja, što je inspirisalo njen rad i stvorilo temelje za njenu revolucionarnu filozofiju. Sa iskustvom psihologa i duhovnog lidera, ona je osmišljavala pristup koji naglašava direktno duhovno iskustvo, zaobilazeći tradicionalne prakse i posrednike. Njena knjiga The Last Truth nudi koristan vodič za postizanje prosvetljenja, dok njen umetnički alter ego, Runa, istražuje muziku kao sredstvo za izražavanje duhovnih učenja. Kroz ove različite uloge, Nina se posvećuje misiji da pomogne ljudima da otkriju svoju unutrašnju povezanost, i da stvore život u skladu sa svojim najvišim potencijalom.
Harper’s Bazaar razgovarao je sa Ninom Verkoeyen, o njenom revolucionarnom pokretu Meta Spirituality, njenoj uticajnoj novoj knjizi i njenom ulasku u svet muzike.
Harper’s Bazaar: Nina, često ste govorili o dubokom buđenju 2016. godine koje je promenilo vašu perspektivu. Možete li opisati to iskustvo i njegov uticaj na vaš život i rad?
Nina Verkoeyen: Moje spontano buđenje 2016. godine bilo je ključni trenutak kada sam otkrila međusobnu povezanost svih stvari i duboku jedinstvenost koja leži u osnovi naše egzistencije. Bilo je to transformativno iskustvo koje je promenilo moje viđenje sveta kao niza odvojenih entiteta i omogućilo mi da prepoznam inherentnu povezanost svega. Ova realizacija je dovela do stvaranja Meta Spirituality, integrišući moje psihološko znanje sa duhovnim uvidima kako bih ponudila sveobuhvatan pristup isceljenju i prosvetljenju.
Harper’s Bazaar: Meta Spirituality naglašava direktno iskustvo u odnosu na tradicionalne prakse. Možete li objasniti kako ovaj pristup pomaže pojedincima da postignu duhovno prosvetljenje efikasnije?
Nina Verkoeyen: Meta Spirituality je zasnovan na principu da su prosvetljenje i duhovno buđenje dostupni svima, bez potrebe za posrednicima ili dugotrajnim tradicionalnim praksama. Naglašava direktno iskustvo i prepoznavanje naše inherentne povezanosti sa sveukupnim postojanjem. Naš pristup je praktičan i iskustven, podstičući pojedince da se okrenu ka unutra i prepoznaju svoju pravu prirodu, što može dovesti do duboke transformacije i unutrašnjeg mira.
Harper’s Bazaar: Vaša knjiga, The Last Truth, opisuje se kao transformativni vodič. Šta čitaoci mogu očekivati i kako pojednostavljuje put do prosvetljenja?
Nina Verkoeyen: The Last Truth je dizajnirana da pomogne čitaocima da prepoznaju i prihvate svoju direktnu povezanost sa unutrašnjim Stvoriteljem, zaobilazeći tradicionalne duhovne posrednike. Knjiga pruža korak-po-korak proces za pronalaženje svog pravog sebe, pojednostavljujući i ubrzavajući duhovno putovanje. Cilj je da se prosvetljenje učini dostupnim svima, nudeći duboke uvide i praktična uputstva koja pomažu čitaocima da postignu duboku transformaciju i unutrašnji mir.
Harper’s Bazaar: Zakoračili ste u svet muzike pod umetničkim imenom Runa. Šta vas je navelo da istražite ovaj novi medij, i kako se on usklađuje sa vašim duhovnim učenjima?
Nina Verkoeyen: Muzika je univerzalni jezik i prirodni nastavak mojih učenja. Kao Runa, što znači “tajno znanje” na staronordijskom, koristim muziku da doprem do šire publike. Ritmičke i melodične kvalitete muzike čine duboka učenja nezaboravnim i odjekujućim. Svaka pesma je osmišljena da probudi osećaj jedinstva i povezanosti sa unutrašnjim Stvoriteljem, inspirišući slušaoce da prepoznaju svoju božansku prirodu. Kroz svoju muziku, cilj mi je da probudim duboko unutrašnje pamćenje onoga ko smo zaista, osnažujući slušaoce da se povežu sa svojim pravim ja i principima Meta Spirituality.
Harper’s Bazaar: Kako balansirate svoje uloge kao autorka, duhovna liderka i muzičarka? Da li se ove uloge međusobno nadopunjuju, i ako da, kako?
Nina Verkoeyen: Balansiranje ovih uloga je prirodan nastavak moje strasti za deljenjem mudrosti i uvida. Svaka uloga nadopunjuje drugu, omogućavajući mi da dostignem različitu publiku na različite načine. Kao duhovna liderka, integrišem ove elemente kako bih ponudila holistički pristup prosvetljenju, pomažući pojedincima da dožive transformaciju na više nivoa.
Harper’s Bazaar: Već ste postigli mnogo, od pisanja knjiga preko vođenja duhovnog pokreta pa do stvaranja muzike. Koje lične prakse ili rutine praktikujete kako biste očuvali svoje duhovno i mentalno blagostanje u tako užurbanom rasporedu?
Nina Verkoeyen: Očuvanje mog duhovnog i mentalnog blagostanja je ključno, naročito s obzirom na užurban raspored. Umesto da se oslanjam na tradicionalne prakse, Meta Spirituality naglašava direktnu spoznaju onoga ko smo zaista. Ovo razumevanje samo po sebi je transformativno. Prepoznavanjem i utelovljavanjem naše inherentne povezanosti sa Stvoriteljem, prirodno se usklađujemo sa svojom pravom prirodom i doživljavamo unutrašnji mir. Ova direktna povezanost eliminiše potrebu za spoljnim ritualima ili produženim tehnikama. Umesto toga, fokusiram se na prisustvo i svesnost u svakom trenutku, dopuštajući unutrašnjoj mudrosti i jasnoći našeg pravog sebe da me vodi.
Takođe, vreme provedeno u samoći je za mene najviše osvežavajuće. Rad sa mnogo ljudi može biti energetski iscrpljujuć, tako da je važno da se obnovim i povežem sa sobom. Ova obnova se prirodno dešava kada ima manje distrakcija. Samoća omogućava da se duboko povežem sa svojim unutrašnjim Stvoriteljem, osiguravajući da ostanem okusirana i povezana, sposobna da ponudim najbolje drugima dok negujem sopstvenu unutrašnju harmoniju.
Harper’s Bazaar: Vaša učenja imaju poseban fokus na manifestaciju stvarnosti. Neki bi to mogli videti kao deo trenutnog trenda. Zašto verujete da je ovaj fokus neophodan i kako se usklađuje sa osnovnim ciljevima Meta Spirituality?
Nina Verkoeyen: Tema manifestacije stvarnosti nije samo trend; to je osnovni aspekt pravog duhovnog buđenja. Glavni cilj duhovnosti, kako je učim, je da se pojedinci osveste da su stvaraoci svoje stvarnosti. Ova spoznaja osnažuje ljude da svesno i harmonično kreiraju svoje živote, smanjujući patnju i borbu. Meta Spirituality naglašava direktnu manifestaciju bez oslanjanja na tradicionalne alate i posrednike poput praksi, afirmacija ili vizualizacija.
Osnovna ideja je da se probudi inherentna moć unutar svakog pojedinca, omogućavajući im da direktno oblikuju svoju stvarnost kroz svoje misli i namere. Razumevanjem i prihvatanjem svoje uloge kao stvaratelja, pojedinci mogu uskladiti svoje živote sa svojim najvišim potencijalom i svrhom. Ovaj pristup eliminiše potrebu za spoljnim ritualima ili produženim tehnikama, čineći put do prosvetljenja dostupnijim i trenutnijim.
Kada ljudi prepoznaju svoju božansku prirodu i jedinstvo svega što postoji, mogu stvoriti stvarnost koja odražava harmoniju, mir i obilje. Ova direktna manifestacija je ključni aspekt Meta Spirituality jer pojednostavljuje duhovno putovanje, fokusirajući se na inherentnu moć svakog pojedinca da transformiše svoj život i svet oko sebe.
Harper’s Bazaar: Nina, pored vašeg rada sa Meta Spirituality, takođe ste izrazili duboko interesovanje za koncept kolektivnog postavljanja namera. Kako vidite ovu praksu koja utiče na globalnu svest, i koje inicijative vodite u ovoj oblasti?
Nina Verkoeyen: Kolektivno postavljanje namera je moćna praksa koja može značajno uticati na globalnu svest. Kada se grupa ljudi okuplja sa zajedničkom namerom, njihova kombinovana energija može stvoriti snažan, pozitivan uticaj koji nadmašuje individualne napore. Jedna od inicijativa koju vodim u ovoj oblasti je naša mesečna sesija pod nazivom ‘Creator’s Choice’, gde učesnici postavljaju kolektivne namere u stanju jedinstva. Ove sesije su besplatne i otvorene za sve, pružajući platformu pojedincima da doprinesu većem, kolektivnom cilju. Koristeći moć kolektivne namere, možemo pojačati pozitivne promene i raditi na stvaranju prosvet

Harper’s Bazaar sits down with Nina Verkoeyen, the trailblazing psychologist turned spiritual leader, to discuss her revolutionary Meta Spirituality movement, her impactful new book, and her venture into music.
Harper’s Bazaar: Nina, you’ve often spoken about a profound awakening in 2016 that changed your perspective. Can you describe that experience and its impact on your life and work?
Nina Verkoeyen: My spontaneous awakening in 2016 was a pivotal moment that revealed the interconnectedness of all things and the profound unity underlying our existence. It was a transformative experience that shifted my perception from seeing the world as a series of separate entities to recognizing the inherent oneness of everything. This realization led me to create Meta Spirituality, integrating my psychological expertise with spiritual insights to offer a comprehensive approach to healing and enlightenment.
Harper’s Bazaar: Meta Spirituality emphasizes direct experience over traditional practices. Can you explain how this approach helps individuals achieve spiritual enlightenment more effectively?
Nina Verkoeyen: Meta Spirituality is founded on the principle that enlightenment and spiritual awakening are accessible to everyone, without the need for intermediaries or extended traditional practices. It emphasizes direct experience and the recognition of our inherent unity with all existence. Our approach is practical and experiential, encouraging individuals to look within and recognize their true nature, which can lead to profound transformation and inner peace.
Harper’s Bazaar: Your book, The Last Truth, has been described as a transformative guide. What can readers expect to gain from it, and how does it simplify the path to enlightenment?
Nina Verkoeyen: The Last Truth is designed to help readers recognize and embrace their direct connection with their inner Creator, bypassing traditional spiritual intermediaries. The book provides a step-by-step process to becoming one’s true self, simplifying and accelerating the spiritual journey. It aims to make enlightenment accessible to all, offering deep insights and practical guidance to help readers achieve profound transformation and inner peace.
Harper’s Bazaar: You’ve transitioned into music under the stage name Runa. What led you to explore this new medium, and how does it align with your spiritual teachings?
Nina Verkoeyen: Music is a universal language and a natural extension of my teachings. As Runa, which means “the secret lore” in Old Norse, I use music to reach a broader audience. The rhythmic and melodic qualities of music make deep teachings more memorable and resonant. Each song is crafted to evoke a sense of unity and connection with the inner Creator, inspiring listeners to recognize their divinity. Through my music, I aim to awaken a deep inner memory of who we truly are, empowering listeners to connect with their true selves and the principles of Meta Spirituality.
Harper’s Bazaar: How do you balance your roles as an author, spiritual leader, and musician? Do these roles influence each other, and if so, how?
Nina Verkoeyen: Balancing these roles is a natural extension of my passion for sharing wisdom and insights. Each role complements the other, allowing me to reach different audiences in various ways.. As a spiritual leader, I integrate these elements to offer a holistic approach to enlightenment, helping individuals experience transformation on multiple levels.
Harper’s Bazaar: You’ve achieved so much already, from authoring books to leading a spiritual movement and now creating music. What personal practices or routines do you follow to maintain your own spiritual and mental well-being amidst such a busy schedule?
Nina Verkoeyen: Maintaining my spiritual and mental well-being is crucial, especially with a busy schedule. Rather than relying on traditional practices, Meta Spirituality emphasizes a direct realization of who we truly are. This understanding itself is transformative. By recognizing and embodying our inherent unity with the Creator, we naturally align with our true nature and experience inner peace. This direct connection eliminates the need for external rituals or prolonged techniques. Instead, I focus on being present and aware in each moment, allowing the innate wisdom and clarity of our true self to guide me.
Additionally, spending time on my own is the most recharging for me. Working with many people can be energetically demanding, so it’s crucial for me to rejuvenate my connection with myself. This recharging happens naturally when there are fewer distractions. Solitude allows me to reconnect deeply with my inner Creator, ensuring that I remain centered and connected, able to offer my best to others while nurturing my own inner harmony.
Harper’s Bazaar: Your teachings have a distinct theme of manifesting one’s reality. Some might view this as part of a current trend. Why do you believe this focus is necessary, and how does it align with the core goals of Meta Spirituality?
Nina Verkoeyen: The theme of manifesting one’s reality is not just a trend; it’s a fundamental aspect of true spiritual awakening. The main goal of spirituality, as I teach it, is to make individuals realize that they are the creators of their reality. This realization empowers people to consciously and harmoniously create their lives, reducing suffering and struggle. Meta Spirituality emphasizes direct manifesting without relying on traditional tools and intermediaries like practices, affirmations, or visualizations.
The core idea is to awaken the innate power within each person, enabling them to directly shape their reality through their thoughts and intentions. By understanding and embracing their role as creators, individuals can align their lives with their highest potential and purpose. This approach eliminates the need for external rituals or prolonged techniques, making the path to enlightenment more accessible and immediate.
When people recognize their own divine nature and the unity of all existence, they can create a reality that reflects harmony, peace, and abundance. This direct manifesting is a crucial aspect of Meta Spirituality because it simplifies the spiritual journey, focusing on the inherent power within each individual to transform their life and the world around them.
Harper’s Bazaar: Nina, in addition to your work with Meta Spirituality, you’ve also expressed a deep interest in the concept of collective intention-setting. How do you see this practice influencing global consciousness, and what initiatives are you leading in this area?
Nina Verkoeyen: Collective intention-setting is a powerful practice that can significantly influence global consciousness. When a group of people come together with a shared intention, their combined energy can create a strong, positive impact that extends beyond individual efforts. One of the initiatives I’m leading in this area is our monthly session called ‘Creator’s Choice,’ where participants set collective intentions in a state of unity. These sessions are free and open to all, providing a platform for individuals to contribute to a larger, collective goal. By harnessing the power of collective intention, we can amplify positive change and work towards creating an enlightened civilization.
Harper’s Bazaar: You’ve mentioned the goal of creating an enlightened civilization by 2050. What practical steps are you taking to make this vision a reality, and how can individuals contribute to this mission?
Nina Verkoeyen: Creating an enlightened civilization by 2050 is an ambitious goal that requires collective effort and practical steps. One of the key initiatives is the dissemination of The Last Truth and the principles of Meta Spirituality through workshops, seminars, and online courses, which help individuals achieve direct enlightenment and profound transformation. Additionally, we are fostering a global community of like-minded individuals who support and uplift each other in their spiritual journeys. To contribute to this mission, individuals can engage with the teachings of Meta Spirituality, participate in our programs, and spread the message of unity and direct connection with the inner Creator. By transforming ourselves, we can collectively create a ripple effect that leads to a more enlightened and harmonious world.
