CHAPTER 1

What Is Spiritual

Life Coaching?

Research suggests that there is a direct relationship between spirituality and mental health where people who are more spiritual have been shown to enjoy better health and overall sense of well-being.

This leads to the first of two important questions we will explore in this chapter:

The truth is, it means many things to many people. For some, spirituality is about the adherence to a particular mystical belief system while for others it’s a way of life that is focused on looking past the traditional milestones of success -- such as public achievements and material wealth -- in a way that brings no harm to living beings.

There are also many other definitions in between these two.

Whichever way you happen to look at it there appears to be one definition of spirituality that most people agree with and it’s this…

Spiritual life coaches support and guide their clients to take ownership of their lives in alignment with the laws of the Universe and in a way that creates profound joy and fulfillment.

For many people it’s about connecting with the Universe and with a power that is divine in nature.

There’s been a sharp rise in interest about all things spiritual over the past few years and this comes as no surprise as countless people try to make sense of a rapidly changing, and unpredictable world, along with existential questions like, “What is the meaning of my life?”

In other words, there’s no time better than now to become a spiritual coach and this leads to the second important question that we’ll answer in this chapter…

A spiritual life coach helps clients discover who they truly are and what they truly want. Clients will learn how to define success on their own terms and in alignment with their spiritual values.

Spiritual life coaches support and guide their clients to take ownership of their lives in alignment with the laws of the Universe and in a way that creates profound joy and fulfillment.

Spiritual life coaching goes deeper into the world of the unseen. 

It’s not just about outer actions and behaviors, but about getting to the root cause of difficulties, challenges and problems, and looking at what a client wants to create in their life through the lens of their beliefs and thoughts.

In some cases, spiritual life coaching involves esoteric or non-traditional coaching tools and techniques such as energy healing... however this is not always the case.

Many spiritual life coaches also work with philosophical and psychological life coaching techniques such as identifying and releasing limiting beliefs, but with a spiritual slant where there is a strong focus on creating and living a conscious, spiritual life.

CHAPTER 2

What Does A Spiritual

Life Coach Do?

As we know, a spiritual life coach helps clients find true meaning and purpose in their life.

It’s about reflecting on some of life’s bigger existential questions and finding answers that are aligned with a client’s values and beliefs.

In this chapter, we'll look at what a spiritual life coach actually does.

Just like any coaching niche, there is an entire spectrum of changes and transformations that a spiritual life coach can help clients achieve.

However, if we break it down to its core essence, there are a 7 key areas and results that clients most commonly look for when they work with a spiritual life coach. 

Spiritual life coaches help clients get past their "past programming” including beliefs and thoughts that have been inserted and inherited from culture, gender, society, family, and other external influences. It's crucial for clients to identify how they see their world in order to create their ideal world. In this way, a spiritual life coach helps clients get to know their true self and make choices and decisions that are fully in alignment with what they truly want.

Internal blocks are anything within ourselves that is blocking us or holding us back from creating our dream life and/or achieving our goals. These blocks usually include negative thoughts, emotions, limiting beliefs, and past experiences that creep into our thinking and prevent us from taking action. Spiritual life coaches can help clients unhook from these internal blocks, so they are free to pursue and consciously create a life and build relationships that light them up and in a way that feels expansive and inspiring.

Spiritual life coaches are skilled at guiding clients to discover or connect with the divine aspects of life. This allows clients to honor the part of themselves that gains strength, purpose and comfort from building a relationship with nature, with the cosmos, and with the laws of the universe that many believe govern all things, all living beings and all of existence. (see Chapter 4 for more on these Universal Laws)

Clients who want to find a pathway to deep inner peace and calm in a world that is often in chaos will benefit a great deal from working with a skilled spiritual life coach. Spiritual life coaches can guide them to work with tools and techniques – such as meditation and breathing techniques – to generate a deep and unshakeable inner tranquility. Over time, working with a spiritual life coach can help clients build compassion and resilience in the face of difficult challenges and no matter what else is going on in the world. A great mindset reframe for your clients in this key area is challenging their thinking from "Why is this happening to me?" to "Why is this happening for me?"

Spiritual life coaching can help clients build a lasting sense of empowerment, confidence, and will to achieve their goals from a place of truth, purpose and compassion. This is an empowerment that comes from helping the client develop their intuition and a sense of deep self-trust that allows them to walk through the world knowing that their choices are for the greater good of themselves and for all whose lives they touch.

A lot of the hardship and pain of day-to-day life can be traced back to a root cause – the inability to identify and appreciate the good things in life. While spiritual life coaches can help clients release and dissolve negative thoughts, beliefs, and experiences to achieve their goals; they can also help them recognize the positive by tapping into authentic gratitude. In this way, spiritual life coaches support clients to build on achievements, successes and everything else that’s going well in their life, so they can experience genuine joy and fulfillment. Celebrating small wins and practicing gratitude on a daily basis also helps us elevate our positive energy, thus attracting more positive energy and aligning the Universe with what we desire and are manifesting.

Clients often seek out spiritual life coaches to help them discover their purpose in life in terms of the work they do in the world. Discovering an individual’s true calling is something a lot of life coaches do, but with spiritual life coaching there is an added aspect of doing so in resonance with spiritual values such as truth, service, love, and generosity.
