What kind of Coaching?

Sometimes we don't know exactly what we want and what we need...
Maybe we just need some general help with stress-management for dealing with the multitude of unexpected, unwanted or repetitive situations that arise in our lives.

Also, your coaching issue may not be directly related to spirituality. You may however feel that it would be preferable to receive coaching from someone who integrates and shares a spiritual perspective.

You may be seeking help in other areas of your life - maybe you're struggling to keep afloat financially, or you're struggling with emotional upheavals due to loss of a loved one, or you're in a relationship that has become difficult. These are all areas that we tend to have problems with at one time or another.

We can usually benefit from coaching in any area of our life, if we feel open to receiving this help.

Examples of other life-situations that you could receive coaching for:

- Relationship difficulties (personal, familiar, work environment, etc.)

- Personal issues (habits and character traits - shyness, lack of confidence, anger, irrational fears, impatience, chronic anxiety, etc.)

- Financial difficulties (sometimes we need to change our perspective before we can allow for changes to happen in our life)

- Career difficulties (lack of 'job satisfaction', lack of direction in one's career, etc.)

- Creative blocks (i.e. feeling that our creative flow is blocked. This can even turn work that we usually love into something unpleasant and stressful)

- Sexuality - improving intimate relationships - and other sexual issues (impotency, sexual addiction, frigidity, mistrust, lack of fulfilment, etc.); Erotic embodiment, Tantra as a spiritual practice. Honouring Sexual energy as a means of deep healing, integration and as a path of ecstasy and Spiritual Illumination.

- Health - How can we expect to feel well and be sucessful in any area of our life if we don't take care of the basics - our health, our vitality, our well-being?

Please note, I am not a licensed expert in all the areas referred to above. If you are looking for a doctor, psychiatrist, psychologist, financial expert, etc., then you may prefer to seek someone else's help or advice.

My expertise is in the area of human potential, the 'mechanics of the mind' (and of the mind-body connection), life-changes, individual freedom, self-knowledge and genuine fulfilment.

Your 'True Self' and Spiritual Coaching

All you need to do is open yourSelf... not to me, but to Life itself....

and the Self is revealed, as the very flow of Life.

About me as a Spiritual Coach

In short, I do not claim to be a Master, a Guru or an 'expert'.
I do not claim to hold the authority of any spiritual lineage or academic institution. I am simply doing the work that comes naturally to me.

'Technique'

My work is simply to encourage a dissolution of the story about the self to reveal the Presence of the Self.
I do not rely on any one specific technique.
No 'technique' or 'mechanism' is required for Self-realisation.

Influences

Many spiritual traditions are referred to and honoured in my work, but ultimately all ideas and teachings must be dropped in order to embrace the fullness of the Self, unconditionally.

The Source and the Self
The Self is revealing itsSelf at every moment. The awakening to this truth is Self-Realisation. It is not a stage or state to attain... It is eternally taking place. It is all that ever happens.

This is why zen and radical advaita traditions simply refer us back to the present moment, and to the everyday beauty, the mundane, the 'insignificant'... Because it is All Arising in Consciousness Here Now. Consciousness is the Root of All that Is...

Even the question, “What do I need to do to attain Self-realisation?” is just arising spontaneously in Consciousness... and doesn't require an answer...

A 'sutra' to meditate upon:

The only thing that distinguishes our consciousness from 'Pure Unconditioned Consciousness' is our feeling that something 'else' needs to happen before we can be 'complete', 'saved', or 'forgiven'... It is this feeling that weaves a seemingly solid web of identity around the stories that our thoughts provide.

Without this feeling, thoughts just arise and subside...
And the vastness of the Self remains clearly untouched... unstained...

Walks, picnics and meditation in Sintra

Nature inspires us to listen, to feel and to look with childlike admiration for Life.

Sintra has forests, beautiful gardens, cliffs and beaches - wonderful environments for meditation and for simply abiding in appreciation of life - in an attitude of gratitude.

Of course, it is true that it is possible to meditate in any and all circumstances or environments... However, most of us feel that a break from the daily rhythm - a 'retreat' to nature and silence - is deeply healing.

So, you are invited to come and walk with me and with friends, sharing in an attitude of gratitude for life, sharing our appreciation of nature and of each other - by the cliffs, on the beaches, in the forests, and also in Sintra's picturesque streets and gardens.

Coaching Walks can also be arranged for you individually or for your group.

Spiritual Coaching in Sintra, Portugal

Coaching holidays and holydays

Sintra is one of the most picturesque and magical places on this planet.

Walk and meditate in the forests, visit initiatic gardens and labyrinths, have a picnic on the cliffs looking over the Atlantic, savour the local foods and unique sweets, visit organic farms, or learn to surf, and each day receive an hour (or more) of coaching while soaking in the magic of Sintra.

Now is the time. What better place to unwind and to let yourSelf flower?
