The essence of my coaching method is how to deal with difficult states of the body-mind. My experience is that if we can allow reality to be as it is, what we long for in life gradually becomes available.
When we face any type of suffering in life, our experience has two components: thoughts and physical sensations. In such difficult moments, we unconsciously resist our physical sensations and dissociate from the body. Most of our attention goes to thoughts and our body goes into a state of fight, flight or freeze. In this state many of our inner resources like intelligence, humor and empathy are not available.
The core of my coaching method is to shift the attention away from the thoughts and towards the bodily sensations. For example, if you’re anxious about a work deadline, you might have a racing heart or a knot in your stomach. The action is to move your focus from all the different thoughts about the deadline, towards the bodily sensations — its texture, intensity, or location. This is done with an attitude of presence and openness, and importantly without wanting anything to be different than what it is.
The method is simple, but not easy. There are strong automatic patterns of the mind to dissociate from, and resist feeling uncomfortable sensations. But if done in the right way, many have experienced that it is possible to slowly build the capacity to allow the sensations in the body to be as they are. And that this gives increased access to states and resources that we long for.
The method is inspired by teachers and masters I have studied: Caspar Seip, Rupert Spira, Osho, Kåre Landfald, Turiya Hanover and others.
