In transpersonal coaching, I focus on the held space between myself and the client. Within this held space, I emphasise the qualities of intuition, connection, compassion and the healing effect of entering transpersonal, expansive and altered state of awareness. 

 

The mindfulness technique of open-awareness assists in the creation of this held space, as it promotes a state of being in which the inner and outer worlds merge to form a greater sense of interconnectedness.

 

It enables one to perceive the interacting parts of a whole and involves moving towards a non-dual awareness in which the personal, interpersonal and transpersonal aspects of one’s being are embodied.

 

Within coaching sessions, I enter Open Awareness and then guide you into the same space using a meditative process. This enables both of us to experience an embodied yet expanded state of consciousness, which encourages an open, empathetic and compassionate space.

 

I have experienced within coaching sessions and other contexts that entering open awareness creates a compassionate, empathetic and transformative space. I experience a greater sense of flow in which there is an awareness of the energetic connection between myself, the other person and the space itself. It is a sense of feeling expansive yet grounded at the same time, which enables me to feel more connected and guided by my intuition. 

 

When coaching others, I consider this intuitive and expanded yet present awareness to be extremely impactful on the client’s ability to make transformative shifts. The cultivation of an open-monitoring style of attention helps in the embodied awareness of oneself, others and the environment.
