Partnering for Prosperity

"The healing fire that has griped us as individuals is also at work everywhere on the planet, human beings are being compelled by a force much greater than ourselves to heal ourselves, our cultures, our environment – in short, to become a conscious species."

-- Caroline Myss

Spiritual Life Coaching: A Special Form of Spiritual Partnering

In the relatively new field of coaching there are many sub-specialties. There are Corporate Coaches, Small Business Coaches, Executive Coaches and Personal Success coaches (to name a few.) Spiritual Life Coaching is a very new focus -- but one that resonates with a large number of people who feel that coaching is their "calling."

There are several distinctions between Spiritual Life Coaching and many other forms of coaching. The primary distinctions are related to the foundational intentions of both coach and client.

Key Elements of Spiritual Life Coaching

• Coach and client view their connection as a sacred partnership with a higher purpose.
• The relationship is interdevelopmental in that the relationship between coach and client provides opportunities for each to evolve further along his/her own path.
• The coach focuses on the client's unlimited light and unblemished potential and strives to bring the clients awareness to that level.
• The motto of many forms of coaching is, "the client does the work." In Spiritual Life Coaching, the focus is not on the client doing the work but on the client staying open to his or her own internal process.
• In Spiritual Life Coaching it is the process that is powerful – not the coach. The coach puts an emphasis on that fact so that the client does not shift dependencies or maintain an external orientation which reinforces "lack" mentality.
• The coach is clear that the power to do the work comes from his/her own personal spiritual alignment:
  ~ trust process in own life
  ~ hold ego-less intention
  ~ detach from outcome
  ~ Self-Love in practice (Self-care, energy management, body awareness, emotional clarity)
  ~ Truth-telling (to self and others)
  ~ lives the process/practices
  ~ understands is a vessel (power within not of)
• The client seizes the opportunity to use the relationship with a conscious coach as a grounding experience so that he/she can internalize a new model of relating (spiritual partnering) and bring this into other dimensions of life. (In many ways partnering with a Spiritual Life Coach can be seen as a developmental stage in the Spiritual growth process.)
• As in any other form of Spiritual Partnering, the ultimate destination is: wholeness, authentic power, the replacement of reactivity with choice and the freedom and flexibility to become a conscious chooser even in the most challenging of circumstances.
• In a grand domino effect, Spiritual Life Coaching has the power to heal the world.
