An insight into Spiritual Coaching. New Year-New Soulful You!
For many people, a ‘Spiritual Coach’ is a fairly baffling term, and if it isn’t somewhat baffling to you, it may be misconstrued as being ‘religious’ in some way or misrepresented as being only suitable for people who claim to be ‘bonafide spiritual people’. This is a misconception. I know you’re a spiritual being, and we all have an intuition, and our intuition is our portal to our spiritual selves! As the coach, I trust yours implicitly!
Spiritual Coaching is something that I found myself ‘falling into’ several years ago, when the universe gave me lemons and I decided to make my lemonade!
It’s amazing how reflectively, we can look back on some of our biggest life lessons and challenges, and see what or whom was born from them -i.e. a new version of myself! I made lemonade out of my lemons when with a new health condition arose out of my holistic therapy practice. The universe decided to steer me a little off course and towards something I would come to love and value more than anything I had previously built or treasured in my career to date. You could say that ‘life’ pushed me towards my life purpose!
My business was unfolding naturally, albeit with some reticience of fear on my part. (My false beliefs and challenges have been my biggest teacher of course). The psychic readings, the Reiki, the teaching, and then one day the EFT and the coaching. All these integral parts began slipping together like gentle tributitaries joining the even gentler current of my new developing business.And new tributaries continue to join all the time! But these days the coaches form one of the major back bones of my practice, in that people who come to meet me, often choose to stay or go on a journey with me!
Sometimes this journey happens simply via readings and social engagment, but more often than not, clients visit and come back to sit in my workshops or to dive into a journey of healing and self-discovery. That’s the coaching!
Spiritual coaching has some fundamental similarities to standard coaching in that goals can be set and worked towards and in that, I as the coach, will use questioning techiques, tools and exercises to gently allow any blocks, false beliefs, or current challenges, to be acknowledged, processed and released. This is often done using a very close connection not only to the body, but with the intution, or ‘spirit’ essence of a person.
As a spiritual coach, many people are drawn more specifically to me because of my spirituality and connected nature. Because something within them craves that connection desperately too, and is looking to find it. When you work with a spiritual coach, you are working on all of life’s current and past challenges and using your own spiritual connection with my gentle guidance, to find all your answers. This is one of the most beautiful things I have ever had the fortune to witness, as people find what they’ve always been looking for through the journey of mindful spirtituality. This journey is unique and personal to you, so it doesn’t matter to me if you want to work with a God, a guide, an angel, your intuition, inner witch, wise sage, higher self, totum animal, or passed loved one. (Or simply if you’re just trying to understand what intuition is!) They all have value and significance in our shared healing space. Messages and validations are to be received everywhere, every day of the week, I just enable people to not only notice these during session, but begin to integrate this awareness and loving reassurance into their own lives.
As people do this, they become more led by their intuition, and less led by their own minds or ‘ego’. They become calmer, happier, more content and more driven individuals. But when I say driven, I mean driven to create, make, be or have what they’ve always wanted and perhaps stifled. Or driven to seek their higher life purpose. Or become driven to find happiness. They will not become driven to make a million, unless of course, the two go hand in hand!
People care more deeply. And as they grow and evolve through the coaching modality, they find and establish deeper connections with people as well. They find ‘their tribe.’ And life finally fits!
Spiritual Coaching particularly with my Mindfulness and EFT components, can help anything from Anxiety and Depression to Relationship difficulties and lack of Self Esteem, to a desire to connect with others more, connect to the spirit realm more as well as to your own spirtual essence. In fact we tend to do all of these things at some point as the journey evolves and your tributaries flow into your river. It’s all about flow in my little room. And fostering a sense of ‘peace’. Digging deep, learning tools, self-actualisation and understanding. Utilising compassion and forgiveness. It’s about growth and strength and newness!
Are you tired of standing still? Do you have an internal itch that you cannot scratch because you don’t know what or where your itch even is? Do you feel like you’re looking for something in life that you just can’t identify? I can help you find it!
Below is a video that I was asked to create by the Life Coach Directory to explain what a Spiritual Coach was. It’s a little generic and very cringy -I was very self conscious -but it may be helpful for some. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYrLncdITD8&t=1s
