Today’s quote is:

“My soul is awakened, my spirit is soaring And carried aloft on the wings of the breeze.” (Anne Bronte)

Do you recognise the description that is being used in this quote? For me it’s pointing to our innate wisdom and resilience of the human spirit. That our experience of life is not determined by external circumstances, but by the quality of our thinking in any given moment. Just as a breeze carries us aloft, when we are in a high state of consciousness, as opposed to a low mood, it feels like we are awake to the limitless possibilities that lie within.

When we’re not in that state, and a low mood, it may seem like we’re walking through treacle and even the idea that the ease and flow that’s being pointed to in the quote can seem so far out of reach and even impossible to see.

Consider, for a moment, the implications of Bronte’s words in the context of coaching. When our soul is awakened, we tap into a deeper sense of purpose and meaning. We connect with our innate wisdom and intuition, guiding us towards paths of fulfilment and joy. As coaches, we have the privilege of facilitating this awakening in our clients, helping them connect with their inner truth and wisdom.

Moreover, when our spirit is soaring, we experience a profound sense of freedom and expansiveness. We transcend the limitations of our ego-driven mind, embracing a state of flow and alignment with the universe. In coaching, we encourage clients to tap into this state of flow, guiding them towards goals they really want and aspirations that resonate with their authentic selves.

Have you noticed how you can tell when a client’s soul is awakened? They come alive, you can hear it in their voice and see the spark in their eyes. One of the ways I personally like to think about my coaching is it’s about finding that spark and fanning it into a flame, it’s that impactful nurturing that I may not know what the content of our conversations will be once that’s been lit but I know that there is a very different feel once we’re there.

In my coaching, I recognise that the awakening of the soul is not a destination but a journey—a journey of self-discovery and transformation. It’s about tapping into our innate wisdom and intuition, guiding us towards paths of fulfilment and joy. As a coach, I view it as a huge privilege of facilitating this awakening in our clients and helping them connect with their inner truth and wisdom.

In coaching, you may encounter clients who feel that they are walking through treacle, trapped in a cycle of negative thinking and self-doubt. They may feel overwhelmed by external circumstances or disconnected from their inner truth. Yet, it is precisely in these moments of darkness that the light of transformation begins to shine.

As a coach, I see my role as a guide and companion on this journey of self-discovery. We create a safe and supportive space for clients to explore, guiding them towards greater clarity and insight. We remind them of their innate resilience and resourcefulness, that empower them to overcome obstacles and setbacks with courage and grace.

At the heart of my coaching lies a deep commitment to awakening the soul and guiding clients towards their innate wisdom and resilience. What lies at the heart of your coaching practice? Perhaps we use different words to describe the same essence, or maybe you have a unique philosophy and approach. I invite you to explore and discover what truly drives your coaching practice.
