​Today’s listening practice is about appreciation, and for me, today, that means authentically appreciating Me - all that I Know and who I am.

Believing the judgemental voice in our head to speak truth is the easiest thing in the world to do. We get lost in it all the time, forgetting in that moment, that it is always and only our own voice speaking.

It’s effortless, and yet the unsettling feelings that accompanies this voice is a form of resistance. An innate resistance letting us know that the thought-direction we are moving in, is not telling us the truth of who we are. The truth of who we are is something entirely different.

We are already Enough.

Sitting in the awareness of authentic appreciation brings me back to center. To right now. I fall out of judgmental thinking and into awareness of the moment. I feel my breath.

I invite you to take a moment today to authentically appreciate You!

We willingly and without effort give up on our thinking all the time - in a moments distraction by the scent of a flower, as we find ourselves immersed in something we love doing, when something colourful catches our eye or when we taste food made from love.

And, when we for a moment hear and feel the depth of resonance, of something True.

In those very instances we are not experiencing our thinking but the true nature of who we are.

We describe these moments as a deeper feeling of Freedom, Love, Knowing, Spaciousness, Connection, Relaxed, Clarity, Quiet, Calm, Grounded, Presence, Hope….feel free to insert your own word.

And, it is the natural and effortless act of a deep sigh as we let tension go, as we let thinking go. If just for a moment.

A moment is all we need.
​
Imagine the impact on not only you or the person your are sitting across but on the state of the world when we willingly listen and communicate from the heart.

There is a space between thought. Like the space between the words we write on a page.

The space doesn’t seem to exist while we experience having a lot on our minds.
But, the space is there.

Within this space is the abundance of possibilities. Like each star on a clear night.
​
So how do you experience this space you might ask. Well, how willing are you to give up on you thinking?

As I am istening for stillness a difference in intent comes and goes.
Do I listen for stillness to know what or when to speak?
Or, do I listen for stillness for the experience of stillness itself.
It is the difference between presence and mental chatter.
It is the difference between Knowing the impact of stillness itself and the illusion that an answer is still up to me, somehow.
Has listening taken a back seat to talking?

Finding the stillness within.

Hearing what we are called to - home, movement, quiet, awareness of breath, stillness …

Notice when you are listening - being in the absence of judgement, impatience, rushedness, boredom, self-assertiveness, defensiveness, distraction.
Notice the space.
​
Inviting inner-stillness to the front of awareness. We listen from there.
What are you called to?

Inden vi dykker ned i den transformative coachingsamtale, er det vigtigt lige at kigge på hvad transformativ coaching egentlig er med udgangspunkt i De Tre Principper.

Coaching ud fra De Tre Principper er ikke handlingsbaseret men indsigtsbaseret og sundhedsorienteret samtaler. Kort sagt oplever vi at få et helt nyt perspektiv på vores menneskelighed, i og med at vi får øje på de uendelige indre ressourcer, der hele tiden er til rådighed for os.

Når vi lærer os selv at kende på dette dybere plan, begynder vi at mærke fast grund under fødderne og derfra responderer vi naturligt på situationer og vores indre op-og-nedture med større lethed, mere klarhed og dybere ro.

Alle mennesker, uden undtagelse, har indre sundhed. Vi er bygget til at have det godt. Vi ved det bare ikke altid.


Den Transformerende Coachingsamtale:

I den transformerende og indvirkningsrige coachingsamtale er vi ikke indholdsfokuseret men undersøgende på sindets natur - Det formløse og konstante i vores oplevelse. Hvad som er bagom alle de tanker vi gør os og oplever effekten af.   

Vi er bl.a. nysgerrige på hvori forskellen ligger, når vi mærker lethed, kærlighed, forbundethed og ro, kontra når vi føler os stressede, ensomme, angste, bekymrede, kede af det, frustreret eller ekstatiske.

Via indsigt i sindets natur får vi øje på at:

• lethed, kærlighed, forbundethed og ro altid er lig med mindre på sinde.
• det eneste der nogensinde kan stå i vejen for at vi mærker dette, er graden af vores involvering og investering i indholdet af, hvad vi uskyldigt tænker på.
• alle oplevelser (uanset hvad vi uskyldigt skaber af scenarier - tænker, føler og sanser) ikke er solide, men formløse. De opstår i vores bevidsthed og fordufter igen, af sig selv.
• vores essens ikke kommer og går, men er hvad som altid er tilstede og forbliver intakt, uanset vores tænkning/oplevelse.

Når vi opdager på et dybere plan, at det er en umulighed at være adskilt fra roen, glæden og kærligheden, for den “bor i os”, frigør det en utrolig mængde mental plads til at mærke, hvad vi har brug for og lyst til. Vi ser nye måder at gøre ting på og vi oplever naturligt at få mere overskud, glæde og lethed i vores liv. Det er sindets natur.
