Sometimes the pain isn’t just physical. The discomfort you feel is deeper than muscle. It’s a core anxiety that shows up in relationship, at work, and in solitude. This uneasiness is almost always there. It’s this very feeling that holds you back. There’s more to you than the world has seen. You’re ready for a fresh start. The change is now. But you don’t know where to begin. The obstacles are daunting and the path unclear.

This is when coaching can be a powerful tool to get you where you want to go. Holistic Coaching is an action-oriented process in personal transformation. We’ll create a roadmap to realize your inner, outer, and secret passions. What areas of your life do you struggle to find balance? What is ready to change?

Beliefs shape ideas, which direct the choices we make each day. If you’re looking to change, you have to identify the root. Healing occurs when you turn toward the wisdom within.

Your life is similar to tending the land. You need to till the soil, plant new seeds, and water the sprouts for vegetation to grow. Partnering with a Holistic Coach means dedicating two people to cultivating your abundant, wild garden of life.

We’re addicted to narrative. We want to know what he said, why she said it, and what they meant when they said it.  That’s fine to get tied up in the web of language. It happens. But is that the point? Are we ever really satisfied when we get the answers to our questions? Probably not. At least not for long.

I wonder if we’re asking the right question. Maybe it’s not about what they said but how we feel. What did this exchange bring up in you? Did you suddenly feel threatened, your stomach harden, your throat clenched? Did you suddenly feel like kid again, ashamed for something you weren’t supposed to do? Did you suddenly get sad, angry, or cold? What happened to you?

Everything is an aspect of process. Even ‘suddenly’ isn’t really all that sudden. Your personal narrative is changing all the time. You are actually someone else in any given moment. Look in to this. How are you feeling? Where are you feeling it? Can you drop the story and take in the body? Can you engage the senses and let the mind pause? What is the raw emotion? Can you let it pass though you?

Children teach us so much. Take away a child’s favorite toy during playtime and they’ll kick, scream, and turn purple. They need to express. But then its over. The child is on to something else, a new toy, a game with a friend, singing in the car seat. It passes. It’s not about the story ~ a feeling was born, it had to be released and then the child could move on.

If feeling your emotions is hard for you ~ try doing this alone. Then later you can explore this with someone you love. Be curious about what your body is saying or needing. Just feel what you feel. This is how you build emotional intelligence, which is a necessary gateway to intuition. Feel it ~ the story is gone. What’s happening within you is now. Be here now.

Listen.

What do you hear right now? Can you detect the street noise or the movements of person nearest you, or the hum of the computer? What about the sounds within you? Can you sense your breath, hear your thoughts, feel your posture.  Can you be with yourself?

Taking a vow of silence is a way to tune into the inner dialogue. You become aware even curious of your interior world. And through tuning in, you have a more gifted ability to perceive the world around you. Resting in silence even for a day can have a deep effect on your energetic body. It can also be a very productive way to process. By not getting caught up in the details, you can rest in the greater space. Silence is a type of trust in the knowledge you have. A vow of silence is intimacy with the self.

Try spending one day from sunrise to sunrise in silence. Write a large sign in your room to remind you of your vow ~ NOBLE SILENCE. Tie a string around your wrist as you move throughout the day to keep you turned inward. Be still. Be soft. Be silent. Experience being.

You have a soulmate. Whether or not you're in a relationship, you are engaged in a life-long partnership. It may be smooth, rocky, blissful at times, or totally dysfunctional. I'm referring to the relationship of mind and body. In dharma practice this is often called the primary relationship. From this stems all other encounters. The way we relate to our own state of being reflects how we relate to lovers, friends, family, ideas, colors, even space itself. It all begins here - with our relative, very ordinary life. Do we fold our clothes? Do we hit the snooze button each morning? Are we always rushing to work? Or working late? Do we eat on the go? When emotions arise, do we relate?  

This primary relationship is a dance, a work in progress, intimacy itself. This VDay try something radical. Renew your vow. Hold a ceremony. Give yourself a ring, a letter, a gift. Make an offering. If the primary relationship is separate, how can you establish connection again? And then consciously make a stand for your self love. What do you promise to do or say or be when the going gets rough, in moments of ecstasy, till death do you part?
