Spiritual Life Coaching can apply to two different areas. It can involve coaching someone in the area of their spiritual life or using a spiritual basis to coach someone in any area of their life. The two areas overlap extensively. To distinguish between the two, I will use the terms “Spiritual Growth Coaching” and “Life Coaching from a Spiritual Perspective.”
Spiritual Growth Coaching concentrates on assisting the client to better understand the spiritual nature of all of us. It has often been said that we are spiritual beings having a temporary physical experience. While we spend considerable time and money “dressing up” our bodies, most people pay little attention to development of their spiritual selves. Spiritual Growth Coaching will help you to better understand your spiritual self, how to influence that spiritual self and how to access the spiritual power which is at the basis of all existence. You may refer to this power as the Infinite, the Universe, collective subconscious, God, the Great Spirit or any number of terms that have been used historically and within different cultures. While Spiritual Growth Coaching is directed specifically toward spiritual growth, growing spiritually will help you in all aspects of your life.
Life Coaching from a Spiritual Perspective is using that spiritual power which is both within us and beyond us to assist in our daily lives. It can be applied to our personal or professional lives. It could involve changing careers, improving relationships, being a better parent, financial success, losing weight, getting a job, retirement planning or almost any other aspect of daily life. Using spiritual techniques to enhance practical outcomes will always result in spiritual growth.
