A Spiritual Teacher

There comes a time when, finally breaking free from a past reality, that you must step fully into your new future. We change; I change and you change. As time goes by, we're constantly absorbing new information and growing. When we were children (or are children and youth) we consumed enormous quantities of information as we grew up. Early adult-hood sees this trend continue as we enthusiastically engage in the bigger world and enjoy the freedom that we now have as young adults. Somewhere along the way, the unlucky ones are confronted with a reality that stops all apparent growth; feeling stuck.

This is an eye-opening moment; not right away, typically it may be some time before the truth of this gift is visible. To realize that this is an opportunity for introspection; to realize that it is a time to look within, you can engage in the journey much more quickly and enthusiastically. Having this ability will accelerate the learning that is required on a deeper, personal level. These moments are life-changing and when you are able to embrace the challenge, the end-results for your life are typically much more enjoyable than your current reality.

For those who don't understand why this happens, I can only say this: Challenging moments in life that cause us to look deeper within ourselves will challenge our perceptions and beliefs about our current reality. Doing so, we become aware of any limiting beliefs that are sabotaging our lives. This can occur for any area in life; career, relationship, values, spiritual awareness, emotional growth, and so on.

As I began writing this, I was inspired by the fact that a decision is to be made. I am a professional coach. Okay? My focus has been a wee bit open since I have background in Career Consulting. I enjoyed it to a degree and my issue is that most clients are looking for someone to point them in the right direction, to write their resume, or any number of things that will get them a job. I can't do that. It's just not possible. Only the client can do those things. The coach is a facilitator and, as I like to say, an ass-kicker; but don't worry, I wear big fluffy slippers and only do it cosmically so the energy propels you forward without the physical pain.

Nonetheless, I've been gaining clients initially due to my history as a career consultant. Those clients have dropped off somewhat and now I'm working more with spiritual awareness. I seem to have a sensitivity to it that is unexplainable and is also available to everyone. It's how to connect with this awareness and to have that perceptual shift that awakens your life to a whole new reality that screams, "FREEDOM!" at the top of it's lungs. Your perspective is light, your attitude is grateful, you feel joy and, relationships sing harmoniously.

I believe I'm very good at introducing people to this possible reality that then, when experienced, becomes more and more real in their daily life. Over time, this awareness and shift in your personal awareness, you see yourself for who and what you truly are. This experience is filled with trepidation and excitement. In addition, this experience, repeated with practice, replaces your current mundane daily life (assuming it's that bad) so that you can experience an engaged life with the energy and enthusiasm you may have last experienced as an unself-conscious toddler running naked through the sprinkler, giggling and squealing all the while.

This is why I'm posting this blog entry. There does come a time when a man (woman, child, or dawg) must take that final step forward to fully fill the shoes of his future-self. I believe I'm looking at that squarely in the face right now. Do I dicker around with career counselling and other niche coaching focus' or, do I admit that I am a spiritual teacher/coach? I'm feeling the prod, I'm seeing the writing on the wall and it looks good.
