What’s Different About Spiritual Coaching?

One of the fastest growing industries in the 21st century is the field of coaching. People are saying that coaching is the latest evolution in the arena of self-improvement, and its transformative power is being embraced by tens of thousands both personally and in business. In the past coaching was only for those with special requirements for support. Now coaching has moved into the mainstream, and anyone may have a coach (or several coaches) in their life.

A popular definition of “coaching” is that it is: an ongoing partnership between a client and a qualified helper, which is entered into to assist an individual to produce fulfilling results in their personal and/or professional life. Upon deeper examination of the coaching trend, one might say that it is clear that society has shifted away from earlier models of success, and is now favoring personal definitions of fulfillment based on individual values and worldviews. IASC believes that in the 21st century people are choosing life on their own terms! That is where “Spiritual Coaching” comes in. One of these so-called terms is harnessing the transformative power of “Spirit” so that we are in touch with our “Higher Self” and hear its guidance.

Spiritual Coaching can deliver the possibilities of:

Spiritual Coaching is everything that we may have experienced and understood coaching to be, but with certain added elements that distinguishes it. Those elements are based on the idea of “consciousness” and, specifically, that a full EXPANSION of our consciousness is now possible -- and even required -- for a better life. The point of this type of coaching is to take spiritual principles and spiritual ideals into the real world, so that they can be applied practically to all aspects of our life. This is producing greater success in our human endeavors, and also promotes personal evolution on every level… Satisfying our common desire to grow, be happy, master life and know peace.

Additionally, Spiritual Coaching supports us to achieve “wholeness”, which IASC describes as the integration of all parts of our being – body, mind, heart, spirit and soul – into a highly functioning Self. Through coaching models based in Spirit we can deepen and re-define life’s meaning and begin to emerge truly EMPOWERED in life. This takes place because we access a more authentic sense of who we are as human beings and discover a genuine connection to life, to spiritual dimensions, to our own dreams, and to other people – which leads us to MORE possibilities, GREATER potential, INCREASED fulfillment and a FULLER expression of our personal power!
