Self Realization Coach - Fulfilling Your Potential

This entry was posted on Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

A dictionary will tell you that self-realization is the fulfillment of one’s own abilities or capacities. Not everyone can do it themselves, so a self realization coach comes into play.

When discussing a self realization coach, terms that often surface are meditation, solitude, and breathing. A self realization coach can be spiritual, and gone are the days where life coaches are considered counterculture.

People are understanding how today’s hectic 24-7 world can cause intensity and anger. So they turn to a life coach, such as a self realization coach, for guidance. Some may struggle to cope with life’s demands and at least they are aware that it cannot be done alone.

A self realization coach can provide input as simple as reminding you to set aside 20 minutes each day for total silence. Or, a self realization coach can suggest starting each day with 30 minutes of meditation.

Sometimes a self realization coach is sought to try to prevent poor decision-making. For example, Adell Shay, a columnist for the Daily Breeze in Torrance, California, wrote, “My chances of self-endangerment become exponentially greater when I navigate unsupervised.”

The Self Realization Coach, Religion and Other Tactics

There are self realization fellowships all over, usually anchored by yoga, including the international headquarters of Self-Realization Fellowship on Mt. Washington five miles from downtown Los Angeles. You likely won’t find a self realization coach at such centers, but often they offer other self-help services such as prayer and meditation.

Getting help to relax or calm down is a major reason to engage a self realization coach. That’s not as easy as it seems.

In fact, sometimes a self realization coach can incorporate readings from the Bible, or Hindu holy book. There are many tools a self realization coach can engage to slow down your mind and become more relaxed.

One tactic employed often is mediation. A self realization coach could recommend a meditation retreat, or time in a mediation garden. Meditation is becoming more and more accepted.

“I’ve seen a changing perception. In the past it’s been viewed as a yogi sitting on a mountaintop,” Tammy Roth, a licensed therapist in Nashville, Tenn., told The Tennessean newspaper. Roth leads meditation retreats. “People are now realizing there are all kinds of different forms of meditation and are finding different ways to slow the mind down and feel calmer.”

Self-Realization Coach and Ascertaining a Goal

Ultimately, you need to have a problem and a goal when engaging a self realization coach. Maybe it’s to seek more of a life-work balance, maybe it’s to try to erase some limiting beliefs. Maybe you need help creating a personal development plan.

A challenge can be ascertaining precisely what may be bothering you. A good self realization coach will employ a process of inquiry, asking open-ended questions to get you to talk. A good self realization coach also will listen much more than talk.

That’s your job. The self realization coach will probe, and hopefully you both can determine a line of action, or agree to a particular solution.

If that can be achieved, you still need the self realization coach to stay on course. Again, they can tap a variety of tactics, including a changed diet, or a retreat. Many engage in meditative techniques, others call them “intuitive tools.”
