Hi, I’m Neel. Founder and creator of Inner Compass Cards.
My journey began with unhappiness and a deep need to understand it. After years of feeling disconnected from myself, I spent a decade doing deep inner work between my 30s and 40s.

Therapy, meditation, spiritual teachers, ceremonial work; you name it, I tried it. Back then, no one had heard of ayahuasca or shadow work and my friends thought I had lost it. But in truth, I was finding myself.

Ancient cultures always fascinated me: the TAO, the Maya calendars, the I-Ching, native wisdom… It all felt like home.
I wanted to bring that timeless knowledge into something accessible for everyone.

So in 2016, I created Inner Compass Cards (launched in 2017). The words came effortlessly, and even though the process wasn’t always easy, it was magic every single day. For the first time since my early teenager years, I felt completely aligned.

People say happiness can’t be held onto because life will always challenge you. They might be right.
But since then, I’ve never been truly unhappy again.
I found some kind of a quiet trust inside myself. A foundation that never left. Even on darker days.

That feeling of alignment and trust is what I wish for everyone. This is why I do what I do: to guide people back to their essence; to cultivate awareness, even in the unseen, and nurture transformation from within, so they can stand on a foundation of trust and fully embrace whatever life brings. I do this through one-on-one sessions, the three Inner Compass card decks, and @hertribe.community

I don’t live to work, I live to experience life in all its colors:
the ups, the downs, the encounters, the connections,
the play with my partner and our beautiful son.
I love living with devotion to the moments each day brings.
That, to me, is real life.

This was my personal Instagram. Our business account, with 30k followers and loads of content, has been gone since March 2023.

After my account was hacked, I hired an ethical hacker to recover it. Weeks later, I was told Meta blocked it and claimed it was never mine. Despite having thousands of pieces of evidence, even after hiring three lawyers, we made no progress. It’s been incredibly frustrating to see so much hard work disappear, and the injustice of it all has been difficult to accept. After investing significant time and money, it’s time to let go.

I initially thought, “How important is Instagram really?” But since the account disappeared, our revenue has halved, and wholesale inquiries have dropped dramatically - even though Inner Compass is more well-known than ever, reaching a broader audience beyond the yoga scene, with long-term resellers thriving.
Requests for interviews, events, and podcasts have also vanished. So, does the number of followers matter? Absolutely, it does - for a business.

I trust there’s a reason for this - perhaps tied to my love-hate relationship with the digital world. For now, we’re starting fresh with a new team on THIS account, which will soon be renamed @innercompasscards. I’ll continue sharing occasional personal stories as we move forward.

Thank you for the love, the support and following along here !!

This crazy witch believed she could craft a transformative tool to aid individuals in learning about themselves, facilitating personal growth, intuitive development, and exploration of their soul’s journey. In the first place, she started the creation for herself and her own tribe.

Little did she know, the world was primed for a contemporary version of oracle cards.

First autumn day in Holland ☔️🍂 so I pulled this one for you… May it guide you.

TRANSFORMATION - Life is continually changing. Cycles continuously repeat themselves. The Mayan people recognized a pattern that moves from initiation to refinement, to transformation, to completion. Right now, you are in the phase of transformation. In this phase, you can let go of all things that no longer serve you. What remains is who you truly are. It may feel like you are going through a crisis, stuck in the old with the new yet to come. But remember that crisis is nothing but a period of transition. It is painful to let go of well-known patterns or people, even when they bring you stress and negativity. However, you can only create space for something new by letting go of something old. This card invites you to allow all the difficult feelings that might surface. As soon as you accept those emotions, your inner sky will clear up again. Surrender yourself to the energy of transformation, and everything will change along with you. Seize this opportunity to get closer to your true self. And surround yourself with all the things that make your life so precious by @innercompasscards

Persoonlijk, niet voor elk kind hetzelfde. Bij haar was het een Rubik’s kubus en een olifant als sleutelhanger.

Die olifant koos ik niet toevallig. Tijdens de sessies trok ze dat kaartje twee keer uit de deck. Haar reactie: stralen.

Ze weet het allemaal nog goed. En ze zei dat ze alle kaarten belangrijk vindt.

Niet het cadeau blijft hangen. Wel het gevoel dat erbij hoort.

De affirmatiekaarten zijn van @innercompasscards .

Which message is meant for you today? Pause or screenshot to reveal your card and let your intuition guide you, and share your card in the comments.

JUST BE
Let go of control, for life organizes itself better than you ever could imagine! You have the power to adjust yourself to everything that comes your way, simply by staying present with an open and flexible attitude. Once you have found your open space, guard it with loving attention, by being fully present you will intuitively know what you or others need.

THE HEALER
You are undergoing a process of deep healing. The set-backs you are experiencing will ensure your personal growth. It simply means you are now ready to learn specific lessons that help heal deeply buried wounds from the past.

THE MAGNET
The law of attraction is a law of nature: similar or equal things gravitate to one another. Like a magnet, your thoughts will attract reality. Imagine that whatever you want to create is already created, visualize it, feel it, believe in it, and remember that the final step is letting it go, for to let go is to attract.

TRUST
Relax, knowing that everything is heading in the right direction. Life knows what it is doing! Trust is the keyword here, trust in the process and trust in your own omnipresent inner strength.

LOVE
When you surrender to love, you let your heart do what it does best: love. It is safe to have your heart open, as love has healing power. Love is inside you but, sometimes, you forget the road to it. Remember, love may be a great mystery, but it is always there.

FREEDOM
You can free yourself from the prison of limiting patterns, thoughts, and beliefs. When you are free, you live intuitively and trust that things will work out. Always remember, you are free to be who you are.

OPEN DOORS
If something costs you considerable effort, it does not belong in your life. When situations enter your life effortlessly and without resistance, you can trust they guide you in the right direction. Move with life, like bamboo in the wind.

Pick a card ! Your message for this moment. ✨

Which card are you most drawn to? The one that catches your eye or gently pulls at your heart?

1. ALLOW
Acknowledge whatever it is you are feeling. Allow it. Even so called negative emotions are there to guide you toward exponential growth and expansion. If you accept all of your emotions, the things that you tried to hide from no longer have power over you. Compassion for others is only possible if you allow compassion for yourself.

2. LANGUAGE OF LOVE
Everyone expresses love or appreciation in their own way. Try not to get lost in translation. Everything will flow so much smoother when you start to open yourself up to the many varieties in which love is communicated. Be grateful for all the different ways in which you are currently receiving affection.

3. POTENTIAL
Stop limiting your potential. Whenever you become attached to a certain result, you run the viable risk of disappointment. Life would be colorless if everything would go exactly how you want it to. Life knows what you need better than anything that you can dream up or imagine with your mind.

Which card speaks to you today? Let us know in the comments! ✨

New Moon in Virgo this Friday 🤍 by @innercompasscards

Dear tribe,

We’re getting ready for the second edition of Unplugged,

For 7 days, she’ll invite you to become aware of your digital habits and create more space for focus, rest and real presence.

And just to be clear...

The goal of Unplugged is not to eliminate screen use.

Especially when you work on a computer, that simply isn’t realistic.

Instead, you choose 2 dedicated moments each day to check private emails, messages or your calendar.

Work remains work, but do-it-out-of-habit scrolling can take a break.

I created Unplugged because I feel this myself. Spending too much time on my phone leaves me feeling more worried, more uncertain, and strangely disconnected.

Yet on the days when I am fully present in real life, I feel different. Lighter. Clearer. More flow. I don’t need more discipline. I need space.

Unplugged is a way to step out of the input overload and come back to your real life.

If you feel the need to slow down, create space, and reconnect with yourself, this is your invitation.

Start: September 7th

Introduction price: €39

Looking forward to this journey together,

Neel & the Inner Compass team

No, not tanning ;)
 Presence.

Lying there with not so much to do, nowhere to go and no one to respond to, I suddenly realised how rare it has become to simply be somewhere.
And how powerful that actually is.

First of all, presence is something we can give ourselves.
The ability to simply be here. In this moment. Without rushing towards the next thing.
To be present enough to hear the silence. To listen to your intuition. To notice what is moving inside you before the noise of the outside world takes over.
And sometimes, presence can be as simple as giving your full attention to whatever you are doing: a walk, a book, a cup of coffee, a hobby, creating something with your hands.
Not multitasking, not documenting, not mentally being somewhere else. Just being here.

And then there is what happens when we give that same presence to another person.
They feel seen. Heard. Safe. Loved.
Because you’re not half-listening while thinking about what comes next. You’re actually there.
And perhaps that is why presence can be so healing.
Because for a moment, nothing needs to be fixed. Nothing needs to be achieved. Nothing needs to be anywhere other than exactly where it is.
We listen. We feel. We notice.

So maybe presence really is one of our simplest superpowers.
One we don’t need to learn. Just remember. by @innercompasscards

Hoe vaak zoek je buiten jezelf naar een antwoord dat ergens diep vanbinnen misschien al aanwezig is? ✨

Dat idee ligt aan de basis van de Inner Compass Cards van Neel van Lierop.

Na jaren van yoga, meditatie, natuur en bewustzijnswerk ontdekte Neel hoe waardevol het kan zijn om niet meteen naar oplossingen buiten jezelf te grijpen, maar eerst naar binnen te keren. Vanuit haar eigen zoektocht ontstond een kaartendeck dat geen toekomst voorspelt en je niet vertelt wat je moet doen.

De kaarten stellen iets anders voor: een moment van vertraging. Een uitnodiging om te voelen, te reflecteren en opnieuw vertrouwen te krijgen in je eigen intuïtie. 🌿

Wat begon als een persoonlijk project, groeide ondertussen uit tot een internationale community, met naast het oorspronkelijke deck ook een Love Deck en Kids Deck.

💫 Wanneer heb jij voor het laatst écht naar je eigen innerlijke kompas geluisterd?
