What is soul coaching?

Soul coaching is a specific type of life coaching.

So, what is life coaching?

A life coach works with a client to help them achieve goals. Sometimes these goals are lifestyle oriented, sometimes they are business oriented, or even personal goals. The role of the life coach is not to be a counsellor or advisor. The role of the life coach is to help the client identify and overcome her own obstacles along the path. A life coach draws on the inner and outer resources of the client and helps the client to see his own resources.

A life coach is not a consultant. A consultant has expertise in the area they are consulting on. Life coaches believe that the client is the expert in her own life and that the answer she is seeking can be found once obstacles are dealt with. Life coaching is always action oriented, focuses on motivation and leads to results.

Ok, so what is soul coaching exactly?

Soul coaching is focused less on the external achievement goals and more on helping the client to remember who they really are. Soul coaching is for those who want to live an authentic life. A soul coach can assist with tuning in to your spirit, awakening your intuition, developing a practice of mindfulness, or living consciously. Soul coaching is not about adding to your life, but removing layers to get back to the real you.

Soul coaching is not trauma counselling or emotional therapy. There are trained professionals in those fields for that. Soul coaching is for recovering inner resources and finding that still voice inside that gets muffled in the busy day to day world.

Some of the tools used in soul coaching include journaling, guided meditation, yoga, shamanic journeying, neuro-linguistic programming, poetry, chakra balancing, reiki, dance, chanting, dowsing, tapping, channeling, colour therapy, feng shui, art therapy, affirmations, crystal therapy, self care, archetypes, tree therapy and drumming. These are just a few. Each soul coach brings their own set of experiences and training.

Coaching can take place in small group circles or one on one.
