What is a Spiritual Coach and Do You Need One?
Do I need a spiritual coach ?
Before you can determine if having a spiritual coach is the right step for you, first let’s cover what exactly a spiritual coach is. What makes these coaches different or similar to life coaches, business coaches, relationship coaches, and maybe even sports team coaches?
What is a spiritual coach?
A spiritual coach is someone who helps you connect to who you truly are. They work with you to change/redirect/navigate your life, uncover your desires, take steps towards your goals, achieve your dreams, bust limiting beliefs, and remove roadblocks.
A spiritual coach uses a deeper, more holistic approach. They work with you on the operating system beneath your consciousness. I’m sure you’ve seen the human psyche described as the iceberg floating in the water; a small portion of us showing to the world and a great big portion of us under the water hiding below the surface. A spiritual coach helps you go deep into the part of your iceberg that is below the waterline. When you are able to understand, work with, change and utilise this portion of your operating system, you are able to change your life.
A spiritual coach will work with root causes instead of treating symptoms. Do you want to consciously create? Do you want to own your power? Do you desire growth, progress, abundance, love, and deep satisfaction from your life? The growth that is accomplished with a spiritual coach includes connection to the divine, working with the universe, taking control of your happiness, stepping into your power, shifting your subconscious, and much much more.
Find out who you really are & connect to your life purpose
Aren’t we all looking for the truth? Perhaps you are interested in finding your life’s purpose, understanding the lessons that you are here to absorb. A spiritual coach can offer support and guidance in traversing the landscape of life. How do I achieve more fulfillment? How do I cultivate passion and happiness in my life? What am I meant to be doing? What work sets my soul on fire?
A spiritual coach will help you make decisions that feel in alignment. They can assist you in letting go of the restrictions we place on ourselves and the concern for pleasing others instead of ourselves. A spiritual coach asks you to show up for yourself, stand in your truth, and spend time uncovering what makes you happy. Then they ask you to follow and cultivate that happiness.
A life’s purpose is a beautiful thing, we are all looking to be fulfilled, happy, loved and connected beings. If you think support in finding out who you are and what you really want sounds intriguing, a spiritual coach is right for you.
Release trauma, clear stagnation, heal old wounds and open energy blocks
To bring in all the amazingness that life has to offer first we have to have space for these great people, places, things, and ideas. As humans we tend to fear change and we appreciate stability.
Shifting negativity, healing old wounds, and releasing stagnation can be hard for many of us. A spiritual coach will assist in getting into the stored trauma we have in our physical bodies, uncovering the ways in which old emotional wounds flare up in our current experience, and how areas of our energy system may have become under or overactive. Working with someone who can support these major and minor energetic shifts allows you to step forward as a clearer channel. Through this work, we call in lighter and brighter opportunities.
I am sure most of us have heard the idea that it’s hard to call in new love with the remnants of the old relationship still lingering. This is the overarching principle. We must let go, purge, release, and shift that which no longer serves us to create space for the right person, the amazing promotion, the next great opportunity.
In addition, stillness and space allow us to become a clear channel for new ideas as well. When we are trying to start a business, write a book, tap into our creativity, etc a spiritual coach can help you eliminate the chatter that keeps your mind from coming to the center
and focusing with enthusiasm.
Deep connection to who you truly are
Knowing yourself is one of the biggest and most powerful ideas that, in my opinion, is the giant elephant in every room. We take classes on things like maths, science, history but we never sit our children down and speak to them formally about self-awareness, self-love, self-forgiveness, and self-compassion.
To love yourself as you grow is one of life’s most worthy achievements. Understanding that you are a divine creation, made of stardust, completely worthy of love, happiness, and abundance is a major life lesson we frequently have to stumble upon on our own.
A spiritual coach will ask the questions and guide your journey of deep self-discovery. Beyond just seeing what you do, how you act, how you handle situations/stress/conflict – a spiritual coach will help you work on areas of yourself that would benefit from growth.
As you become aware of your patterns and how you process stress you become able to catch your reactions before they take a hold. Through this process you become able to choose how you want to live your life instead of life happening to you.
