Spirituality Coach Priorities

Spirituality Coach Priorities

Many people are discovering the age-old truth that health and happiness can be deeply enhanced by a spiritual dimension in life. People with a strong sense of spirituality tend to be more resilient, handle stress better and have an easier time recovering from setbacks like illnesses and traumas. A spiritual practice can include cultivating natural wisdom, regular meditation, expanding a transformative awareness, practicing daily gratitude, and much more.

Spirituality coaching can cover a wide range of areas of focus, but the most successful spirituality coaches tend to do the following five things:

1. They love seeing their clients thrive. No matter what the approach, the goal is the same -- to assist clients in making personal breakthroughs to higher states and deeper levels of fulfillment in life.

2. They see their clients as spiritual beings. Instead of focusing on the exterior of a person's life in terms of appearances, struggles or mistakes made, spirituality coaches focus on the essential part of the person that doesn't change -- their soul, their consciousness, their connection with the Divine. They see their clients as "spiritual beings having a human experience," and help them to see themselves (and others) that way as well.

3. They help clients connect with universal forces. The best spirituality coaches are fully aware of the universal energies all around us and assist clients in reconnecting with them. (While no one is ever apart from the Divine, life can deceive us into thinking we are.) They may call it chi, prana, unconditional love or the unified field, but this fabric of the Universe is always there, continually supporting us.

4. They practice compassion and kindness. Spirituality coaches usually practice some version of the "metta" (lovingkindness) prayer, which has as its central mantra, "May all beings be happy, well, peaceful and free." They are kind, compassionate and patient when coaching their clients.

5. They know anything is possible. The second principle of the Hawaiian spiritual system called Huna is, "There are no limits; everything is possible." Spirituality coaches are open to miraculous transformations, even when things seem dire. They inspire hope in their clients and can facilitate profound change.
