JOURNEY WITHIN AND BEYOND

We were halfway through a coaching conversation when I offered a reflective exercise to my client. As she accepted, I invited her to once again gently close her eyes.

Having already begun the session with a centring exercise - also with eyes closed - I couldn't help but smile at how often I put out the invitation close our eyes!

But that is the nature of deep coaching.

As the tagline for White Cloud Coaching suggests: Journey Within and Beyond.

And the journey within is best taken with eyes closed.

In fact, on various occasions I too find myself with my own eyes closed while listening to a client speak, so that I am more fully present to it.

In my experience, here are some things that become possible with our eyes closed -

• Channeling our attention and energy inwards

• Accessing our intuition

• Accessing a richer and deeper form of silence

• Deep listening to ourselves and to another

• Accessing emotions, insights, and knowing that may otherwise remain beneath the surface

• Receiving guidance from a higher source

So much of what we seek - clarity, courage, wisdom, direction - is often already within us, waiting to be accessed.

Whether you find yourself navigating a professional transition, a leadership challenge, a difficult life decision, a recurring pattern, or simply a desire to know yourself more deeply, I would be honoured to walk alongside you.
