Who Needs Spiritual Life Coaching?

In short, we all do. Spiritual Life Coaching is appropriate for anyone who feels that there is something missing in their life. Do you feel like you are just “going through the motions” without a real sense of accomplishment? Do you think that you are here for a purpose but don’t know what it is? Do you feel that deep down you are a spiritual person but you have had bad experiences with church or “religious people”? Have you sought fulfillment through meditation, brain wave entrainment, hypnosis, mystics or “enlightenment” groups but were still left wanting? Spiritual Life Coaching can help you get in touch with your true spiritual nature and can facilitate contact with the Divine.

Spiritual Life Coaching can also be of great benefit to those who have specific goal to accomplish. Some examples may include: lose weight, get a better job, stop smoking, improve relationships, increase income, be a better parent, find a life-mate, recover from a broken relationship, lost job or divorce. Other than conditions that require psychological or medical treatment, almost any situation can be improved through Spiritual Life Coaching. You may wonder “How can my coach be an expert in so many areas”? Remember, in Spiritual Life Coaching, we do not advise or counsel. We guide you to discover your own answers. The solution to your challenge is already within you and the Divine. Spiritual Life Coaching helps to “draw out” those answers.

What is Spiritual Empowerment?

Spiritual empowerment is the realization and utilization of the spiritual abilities that we all possess. We are, above all, spiritual beings. It is very easy to think of ourselves as these bodies that we inhabit but the body is merely a temporary vessel with numerous limitations.

If you ask someone how old they are, the response will be the length of time that the physical body has existed outside of their mother. But when does life actually begin? Some would say at conception. Others would advocate that our lives began centuries or millennia ago and have lived several physical lives.

Regardless of when our spiritual being began, we are living spiritual lives now and, most people believe, will continue to do so beyond the death of our physical bodies.

Spiritual empowerment requires conscious acceptance of this fact and a determination to learn as much as we can about our spiritual nature. It has been accepted science that we exist on three levels. Freud referred to these as the Id, Ego and Superego. Today, they are more commonly called the Conscious, Subconscious and Superconscious (or “higher self”). The conscious is our intentional thought processes, our reasoning ability and intellectual capacity. The subconscious is the “behind the scenes” force that keeps our body functioning, controls our emotions and retains information from our experiences but the most powerful function of the subconscious is the influence it has over our thoughts and behavior. If we wish to change our behavior (bad habits, motivation, weight loss, etc.), we must change our subconscious. Fortunately, there are several well-proven methods of doing this.

Another function of the subconscious is that it is through the subconscious that we contact our higher self. It is this part of 0ur spiritual nature which is most controversial. The higher self is our connection to the universal force that is the substance of all existence. It may be called the Infinite Mind, the Universe, Nature, the Force (Star Wars), the Collective Subconscious or God.

It is our connection to this force that connects us to all other beings. (I will detail this further in a future post.)

In summary, spiritual empowerment is our ability to influence ourselves and others through use of our spiritual abilities. As your Spiritual Life Coach, I will assist you in acquiring this spiritual empowerment.

What is involved in Spiritual Life Coaching?

Coaching is not counseling or therapy. Coaching is using proven techniques to facilitate the client moving from point “A” to point “B.” We will analyze where you are in relation to where you want to be. This may be moving from unemployed to employed, bankruptcy to financial success, spiritually yearning to spiritually fulfilled or any other area that needs improvement.

After identifying your starting point and your goal, we will develop a plan to attain the goal and then follow the plan to success.

Spiritual Life Coaching works for five reasons: 1) Unbiased Listener. How often have you had someone to truly listen to you? In a typical conversation, each party is thinking more about what they are going to say next than what the other person is saying. As your Coach, I will focus solely on you. In coaching, it really is "all about you." 2) Realistic Goals. Together, we will determine what you really want to accomplish. The desired outcome will be realistic and achieveable. 3) A Plan. We will develop a reasonable plan to accomplish the goals that have been set. The plan will be measurable and time-specific. Intermediate steps toward that goal will be established and accomplished through proven success techniques. 4) Accountability. As your coach, I will hold you accountable for completion of each step and assist in removal of any barriers encountered. 5) Spiritual Support. As a Spiritual Life Coach, I will be assisting you to utilize the spiritual forces available to you.
