When Mindfulness meets Coaching

"People are just as wonderful as sunsets if you let them be. When I look at a sunset, I don't find myself saying, "Soften the orange a bit on the right hand corner." I don't try to control a sunset. I watch with awe as it unfolds."

                                Carl Rogers  

This sums up what Mindfulness Coaching feels like to me. Every single time when I meet a client I'm full of curiosity to see what part of their character will be revealed, and most of the time I'm left in awe with all the wonders that come to light.

                              

As humans we are gifted in being observers of our thoughts while we are thinking them, which proves we are made of more than just our thoughts themselves. 

Once we recognise this we are able to see that there can be beauty in even what might be a challenging situation. 

Proust says "The real voyage of discovery consists, not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes''. Sometimes all we need to do is to step back and look at all that is happening and if we can remove the built in responses that are ingrained into us the whole picture will change. 

In doing so a dark and grey situation can glitter with a full spectrum of opportunity. Then it’s time to ask “Where do I want to go from here?”. 

What's Mindfulness Coaching?

Mindfulness Coaching is a form of life coaching that has a deep foundation in introspection and emotional self awareness. It allows you to improve yourself through concentrating on the messages your body and mind are trying to tell you.

In Mindfulness coaching you are invited to look inside yourself and to become sensitive to the parts of your mind, body and heart that most of us manage to overlook in our hectic lives. By being present to our bodily sensations we can regulate the nervous system, calm the mind, and get in touch with our true selves. We can do this via simple yet impactful meditation and coaching techniques and tools. As we go beyond conditioning and fear, we start seeing a clearer picture of who we really are and what types of life we want to lead.

It's a voyage of self discovery, an unfurling process. 

Be curious and get in touch to see if it's for you.
