Sages, over the centuries, have all pointed to very similar truths to make their point. In order to help those around them who didn't see what they saw. For many who see a deeper reality, who listen to the deeper mind, who see that life is easy and full of joy there is often a strong pull to convey those truths to others or to help others see for themselves.
A colleague of mine in Italy works with professional soccer players and corporate executives in the realm of performance coaching. Nico calls it The Easier Project. Because life gets so much easier. Unbelievably so.
I had a coaching client tell me last week that he didn't think he'd be able to get through his challenges without the understanding of life that our work together brought. It makes things easier.
I'm often asked what sorts of things I help people with.
It comes down to working with people who want more in their lives. More ease, more energy, more productivity, more ability to be present with those they love, more ability to get things done, experiencing less pain so they can do more. People want to have a nicer life and they want to get better at the things they are engaged in.
Some people want relief from pain or anxiety. Some people want to resolve panic attacks. I've worked with people with various physical and mental diagnoses who want to lessen their symptoms, resolve their symptoms or be able to live their lives more fully with symptoms.
Some people want increased performance. Perhaps become better at public speaking or sports performance. Competition performance. Training performance.
Some people want better relationships with their spouse and/or their kids. More of a felt experience of love.
Some people want better sleep, more energy, more happiness and joy every day.
People just want a nicer experience of life and to get better at doing the things they want to do.
Traditional coaching looks at the specific life areas one by one. For example, you might work with a relationship coach to get a better relationship or to be a better partner yourself. This approach is helpful in the area in which you are engaging. I have a weightlifting coach and through working with him my weightlifting technique has improved.
Transformative coaching looks at the upstream principles behind life. How are humans designed? How do we use the creative potential of life to create? What is just true for all humans? What are humans made of?
Hint: It's not puppy dog tails and snails or sugar and spice.
When we see clearly the physics behind our life experience, the engineering gets ridiculously obvious. People's lives take off. Joy is a predominant feeling. Life becomes fun again or fun for the first time. We are the creative potential of the whole Universe. Actually.
What would life be like living from that understanding of yourself?
One of my favourite quotes from someone who saw a great deal about the nature of life is:
"You do not need to leave your room. Remain sitting at your table and listen. Do not even listen, simply wait, be quiet, still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked, it has no choice, it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.” Franz Kafka
