What is Spiritual Coaching?
In order to answer the question of what spiritual personal coaching is, we need to refer back to the personal coaching development history. During the 1980s, a method of work was developed in the United States to improve the economic results of companies and organizations by supporting the organization Executives with personal exploitation for personal excellence. Business Coaching focused on realizing the business vision; What does the business want to do? Where should he go? Such a process is measured by considerations of improving the business results of the organization.
Over time they realized that the excellence of the business can be translated into the realm of personal utilization, and from there it was a short way into new territory: life coaching. Life Coaching is focused on the individual, as it strengthens the trainee and empowering him to realize his own vision; What do I want to do? Where do I want to go? etc.
The next evolutionary stage of coaching evolved as a derivative of life coaching. More and more coaches realize that without fully observing the term "I", there is no real possibility of realizing and unfolding the true potential of the trainee. From this point of development of personal coaching, Spiritual Coaching is born.
Spiritual coaching is a coaching process for all intents and purposes and, like "conventional" coaching, it gives the practitioner tools to realize his potential and feel fulfilled and happy. But it differs from it in two main aspects; Spiritual practice uses tools derived from spiritual path, and directs the trainee to another place; Beyond the realization of a specific goal or target, into a free and liberated experience. The practical significance of the difference between the approaches is given in the following case: We will take a person who comes to practice to find a life partner (a common case).
A life coach will focus on providing tools to help the trainee achieve this goal, for example: strengthening self-confidence, setting short-term goals and targets, improving communication skills, etc. A spiritual coach, on the other hand, will direct the trainee somewhere else. A place free from the illusion that only when the bride arrives will he experience happiness and a feeling of fulfillment and fullness. Spiritual training connects you to a place free from any conditioning and need, a place which is already full and peaceful without dependence and conditions. It is superfluous to say that when a person is released from such burdensome expectations and expectations, he is more available, attractive and invites a partner to make contact. This example perhaps illustrates the difference between classical training and spiritual practice
