Many people ask me what is spiritual life coaching so here is a little explanation of what it is and how it can be useful for changing habits and improve overall wellbeing.

Every Spiritual Life Coach will have a very different definition to what Spiritual Life Coaching is and the client who is looking for one, needs to do a little research to find the Spiritual Coach that will best suit their needs. For me, Spiritual Coaching is simply showing each client how to manage their own Soul, Mind & Body. Whether you believe in the soul or not, it does not matter but what we all realise that there is an unknown energy responsible for our existence here. some call it soul, consciousness, energy etc. There true is, it exists and we must connect with this energy that is connected to all energy which some call God, source, creator.

Their is obviously a spiritual element to this type of coaching but not as much as it sounds. the main purpose is to help the client recognise that we are more that just flesh and bone and have a soul / energy also that is ignored for the majority of the time. Life Coaches tend to be a little different to Spiritual life Coaches in this area and like focus on the Mind, Body and Changing habits and that perfectly fine. The Spiritual Coach will dig a little deeper into the heart of the client and focus on what it wants and then have the mind and body follow its lead as this was the way it was meant to do from the very beginning. So you could say that deeper levels are reached in what i call a more in depth Coaching Practice.

Then you arrive to the spiritual beliefs of each client which is very different and none of that is altered unless the client asks for more clarity about certain spiritual subjects that the coach might be able to answer from his or her own perspective. This is not a preaching exercise but a collaborative one between two people or two souls from my own coaching perspective.

For me this is a serious business, coaching at its best as two people merged in agreement, one gently holding that secret space so the other can navigate through all the old emotions and create new ones that serve them better. Once a trust is built up and there is a mutual respect for one another, the client can go on to their own core transformation with the coach in the background for support.

Spiritual Life Coaching is not meditating all day like a guru or being on your knees praying but simply reconnecting to your core / heart which is your soul connection and thats where the magic begins. Thats all the spiritual practice you will ever need as you go about you daily activities. How simple & beautiful is that ?         

How many Spiritual life coaching sessions are needed ?

If you have read the about material on the website, you will see that it all depends on the client and the connection with the coach involved. If the client is ready and willing for change along with a good spiritual coach then things can happen quite quickly. By quickly i mean a minimum of 3 to 6 months coaching.

You would be very surprised what comes up as a client is being coached. It can also depend how many changes the client wants to make. Working on bad habits for example can take some time. A client may be looking for complete financial freedom which can take years to plan. Maybe someone might want to work on their spiritual beliefs. It all depends what the client is looking for. Another thing to consider is, are the coaching skills up to scratch from the spiritual coach. Is the coach new to the industry or experienced?  The client needs to research a little as to who resonates with them the most and who can give them the best coaching experience. 

Is Spiritual Life Coaching Suitable for Mental Health Issues ?

This is a question that comes up quite a bit in my spiritual coaching practice. I seen many places advise against this and i tend to disagree a little with them. Is is a mental health issue or a spiritual health issue? I tend to go for the latter but I'm also Conscious of it being a phycological issue. I rather speak to the client first and see for myself what could be done before recommending a professional therapist.

Sometimes a good chat can improve things right away along with some self forgiveness and clearing away some of the guilt the client might be having. Its all depends so i will leave that one as a yes, it can be very helpful in many cases and depending on the situation and the person i am dealing with. It would also depend on what spiritual level they might be on and whether i could work with that to begin with.

What are the topics a Spiritual life coach can help with ?

Every topic possible as it all relates to a soul's purpose. Everyone wants to know what they should doing and how to approach a particular goal. The key here to find the balance with mind, body and soul so each individual is crystal clear in what they need to do. Up to now most clients will have the ego mind for every decision which is always fear based. Heart centered decisions are different and are filled with truth and enthusiasm at what lies ahead. Learning how to access the heart take practice as most people have being listening to ego mind all their lives.  

My own current coaching services, specialise in Spiritual life Coaching, business mentoring along with helping find a client's life purpose. There are so many different types of Spiritual Coaches in the coaching industry out there so be sure to find the right one for you and is interested in your own topics and intended goals. A solid coaching relationship and understanding from the very beginning is critical for the client's successful goal Attainment.

How does the Spiritual life coaching work once a commitment is made ?

After the initial call is made to determine whether the client is ready for coaching and that the spiritual coach is suitable for the client, a set time for coaching is agreed too. This could be 3 months, 6 months or even more. Finding a life's purpose for example is a long process of trial and error and takes time to set goals, daily ritual and setting accountability tasks.

The client has email access to the coach on a weekly basis and at the end of each week has a live call to discuss progress and future weekly plans. Again, every coach has their own coaching style so this format, custom plan, business plan or action plans may vary from client to client.

During the one to one session on the live call each week, the coach will use his listening skills and in some instances, readjust the client's thinking to prepare for the upcoming week. Sometimes things can happen in the client's personal life, Career or even dream life that can cause some disruption so a full recall of the events is necessary before moving forward and making plans for the following week.

Each week brings its challenges and celebrations that can discourage or encourage while making changes. Each challenge can be discussed and altered towards success over time. Each Celebration can be intensified to make the goal closer to reality.
