The Untethered Soul: Review and coaching application

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedin

I want to talk about The Untethered Soul: The Journey Beyond Yourself by Michael A. Singer. This book is masterfully written as a guide to your own spiritual journey.

Michael is an American author, journalist, motivational speaker, founder of Temple of Universe, and founding CEO of the Medical Manager Corporation (now a subsidiary of WebMD) where he wrote groundbreaking code to help medical practitioners digitize their medical records.

Each of us has the ability to find ourselves and free ourselves. It begins by focusing on the voice running inside our heads and the recognition that if we are witnessing it, then it can’t be us. The voice expresses the pressure within. It releases energy and narrates the world outside. This gives us a sense of relationships. It also brings us a sense of control through recreating the uncontrollable external experience.

However, by identifying less with our part in our play, we gradually stop clinging to the inner world and experience the expansiveness behind our thoughts, emotions, and body. As consciousness grows we are able to move from the finite to the infinite.

Letting Go: Review and coaching application

One of my favorite books is Letting Go: The pathway of surrender by David R. Hawkins.

David was the founding Director of the Institute for Spiritual Research, Inc. (1983) and Founder of the Path of Devotional Nonduality (2003). His life was devoted to spreading ideas in the areas of health, healing, recovery, spirituality in modern life, consciousness research, and meditation.

This book is all about releasing negative feelings and becoming free. It is a guide to dropping what weighs you down so you no longer find yourself being involuntarily reactive.

Adopting these practices has been proven to have a positive impact on the body, interpersonal relationships, and consciousness. Doing so also decreases disease, cravings, conflict, self-sabotage, and dependency.

We fear feelings because we have no conscious mechanism to handle them as they come up and because we are afraid to face them as they accumulate. This pressure builds up and erupts as thoughts.

But now there is an alternative.

You Can Heal Your Life: Review and coaching application

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedin

I recommend reading You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay. Do so with an open mind to the possibility embedded in what is being shared even if the practice seems too simple or fantastical. Louise used these very same principles to heal her own childhood trauma and cancer as well as applying them in workshops and meetings with others to heal their dis-ease.

The overall idea is that thoughts can be changed. This means you can recreate your memories and beliefs. You can rewrite your emotional homelife as a child and what you think about your worth and deservingness. You can change the things that are not going so well: your body, relationships, finances, work, and aspects of yourself that you don’t love. The only person thinking in your mind is you. Therefore, authority over your worldly experience resides with you. Even though it is frightening, acknowledging your responsibility empowers you to actively seek improvement.

Zero Limits: Review and coaching application

This is a review of Zero Limits: The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len.

If you want to know all about the updated Ho’oponopono approach and how it is used for healing, this book is for you.

Ho’oponopono is a process of letting go of toxic energies within you to allow the impact of divine thoughts, words, deeds, and actions. The approach was updated by Kahuna Lapa’au Morrnah Nalamaku Simeona – a keeper of the secrets.

The traditional approach to problem-solving and therapy is that the source of the problem is in the client. So, they are responsible for resolving it. The new paradigm is that the therapist is also responsible for the experience of the problem as soon as it comes to their awareness. Therefore, they are also responsible for solving it. In coaching, there is a co-creative commitment to moving forward on client goals. This is another way the coach can co-create with the client.

The Five Love Languages: Review and coaching application

Facebooktwitterpinterestlinkedin

This is a summary of The Five Love Languages: The secret to love that lasts by Gary Chapman.

When we are in the early stages of a relationship with rose-colored glasses and presenting our best behavior, we may overlook faults and may naturally be speaking each others’ love language. As the relationship matures, however, the pattern may shift with changing circumstances such as a focus on career or children or adopting learned behaviors from roles experienced in our own upbringing. This may squeeze out behaviors in which we previously engaged.

One way to view it, according to Gary, is that we have a love tank that is filled by our partner that ranges from empty (0) to full (10). If it is near empty, intentionally using the right love language can move it to full. He noticed five reoccurring themes over time as he was counseling people through problems in their marriages. These languages of love are 1) words of affirmation, 2) quality time, 3) receiving gifts, 4) acts of service, and 5) physical touch.
