Mindfulness continues to grow in popularity and is undoubtedly a hot topic where wellbeing is concerned. It’s endorsed by successful people from all walks of life from athletes to celebrities and has also been adopted by schools, colleges, big businesses like Google, Nike and Apple and even the military. They have all discovered that mindfulness delivers a sense of calm, connection with ourselves and others, resilience, gratitude, alertness, awareness and much more. In the West, we...
It happens every now and again. A new enquiry will come in from someone about coaching. They are curious, they are looking for change, and they think they are ready. We arrange the compatibility session and they are full of enthusiasm. Then with a few hours to go, a text or email will arrive saying something along the lines of "I'm sorry, I need to cancel" or "I've thought about it, and actually I'm fine". Now, I have no way of knowing what is going on, perhaps they really are fine, perhaps...
I was at networking event recently. A new business owner was telling me that for a number of years, she’d envisaged running a yoga retreat somewhere exotic. She initially had no idea who it would be aimed at or how she would even start this venture with no business knowledge. Nevertheless, she repeatedly visualised this retreat and over time, the idea developed, evolved and started to come to life. She pinned a photo of her vision to her kitchen wall and began retraining whilst in a full-...
Just a few lines here on the above, namely:1) What it is to be emotionally intelligent.2) What it enables us to do.3) What you can do today to be emotionally intelligent (if you’re up for it). So firstly, if we want to be emotionally intelligent, we will value ourselves and others, and be able to identify and understand why we:
think feel and behave
the way we do – and be able to manage/change any element as appropriate to meet our *emotional needs – thereby allowing...
The holidays can often be a time of happiness and stress. Juggling extra time with family and friends whilst not being in the office or being able to get on with the usual daily chores. It is a balancing act that we are all trying to get on top of. How can we take time out of our busy lives to have fun, relax and recoup without paying for it on Monday morning? How can we tap into your inner resources, and use them to your advantage, so that we can engage in life in exactly the way that we...
If you are reading this but aren't quite sure why, it may be because you were attracted to the sound of the name soul transformation therapy. A crazy idea? Well perhaps not that crazy. The idea that words and their vibrations have an effect on us is an ancient one, we are all familiar with the powerful mantra 'Om' and one of the most famous phrases in the bible is 'In the beginning was the word... '. We also know that a great deal of communication is non-verbal and we all live and breathe the...
An intuitive coach is a professional who follows principles and teachings of traditional coaching, such as goal setting, creating action plans, working on blockages, habits and beliefs. But, moreover, they allow you to connect to the deepest parts of yourself, guide you through your intuition and help you to tap into the power of the divine energy we all feel the presence of. The laws of the universe are the key elements that take part in the intuitive coaching practice; they indicate...
Most of us are living our entire lives lost in some sort of dream. The mind
The mind is either wrapped around a fantasy about what we want, or a nightmare about what we don't want. The mind is running its mental projector, splattering its ideas all over the world. The mind is rarely in the peaceful gap that's between the past and the future, that gap we call the now. The mind forgets about the gap, and how it makes you feel that are beyond space and time. The mind instead...
The commonality of all peoples regardless of race, colour, creed, socio-economic status etc. is to avoid pain and suffering and to be happy - how we achieve this is an individual journey but nonetheless connected divinely by the unity and oneness of people, the planet, nature and all life forms. When we stop filtering for the differences (separateness) we become closer to the (oneness) of all peoples and from this place peace and compassion can grow. I want to focus on the six drivers of...
I walked 500 miles and in the process moved from being burnt out to being rejuvenated. The walk was a truly life changing event and there are many lessons from it that I try to put into my everyday life. The first is that to walk 500 miles is tough, guidebooks describe it as having 3 phases; the first is physical, the second mental and the third spiritual, my walk was like that. During the walk I changed, becoming more aware of self-care, of being mindful, and more confident that I...
