Here are some tools you can use with and outside of coaching. Some of them are free, some of them are available for purchase.
Meditation. Here is a topic that is so often misunderstood. While some view meditation in the strict sense of Zen Buddhist, rigid, static, striving for that illusive spontaneous self, other see a way to relax. The bottom line is that meditation helps you connect back with your self, take scope and regroup. It’s a must for anyone wanting to reclaim their runaway life and none other than high up successful executive and business owners know its merit all too well.
You can start simply on your own by devoting 15 minutes every day by yourself, with yourself. Find a secluded spot in your home. If you can, buy yourself something to shield any lights away from from you. I found MindFold to be particularly effective and anyone can actually build one from scrap. You can also use noise cancelling headsets, such as Boses Quiet Comfort or others. Once comfortably seated, close your eyes, and start by observing yourself. Observe your breath. Don’t be disturbed by thoughts coming into to your mind. Simply, in a detached way, let them slip away. They are not you, nor do they define you. The are just thoughts.
Binaural Beats: Binaural beats are interesting and for those who have been reading this blog, I wrote a little about it a year or so ago. What they do is put a tone in one ear and another one, slightly off-tune in the other in order to balance both hemispheres. This allows you to go into deep states of relaxation, meditation and even concentration.
The Monroe Institute pioneered this type of work and perfected it over the decades. Their CDs are available. Mark Certo hails himself as a sonic alchemist and worked closely with the Monroe Institute. His CDs called The Tranquility Training Method (TTM) are fantastic and I’ve particularly enjoyed them.
Soul Contract Reading. The new tool I added for my practice is called Soul Contract Reading. The system, also called the Holy Numerology of Moses goes back to millennial and has been “reintroduced” in order to facilitate this forward momentum the human race is experiencing. By phonetically translating each letter to its Hebrew equivalent, a number and “energy” is given and put on a chart. This charts helps you understand why your life works the way it down and how to make full use of it. My initial reading was so fascinating and intense, I felt this would be an amazing tool for coaching.
Listening to your heartbeat is very helpful, so is your breath. After sometime, you will find that inner peace many speak of. In these states, everything becomes relative and problem solving is done with great ease.
Those are the basic free, if not at least affordable techniques anyone can use. Still, nothing replaces a certified, professionally trained Coach.
