Nono longer just yoga, meditation or mindfulness. Now it’s time for spiritual coaches. A figure he has been having in recent years ever more importance, around which, however, there are still many doubts because little is known about it. Not by chance Sayonara MottaC-IYAT Yoga and Therapist, Ayurveda Counseling and yoga expert for menopause, explains: «They are not all “real” spiritual coaches. To be one you need to have at least one behind you 30 years of experience and living with the utmost respect for nature and society, concretely helping with social and environmental projects. In this sense, being a spiritual coach is not just a trend.”
Spiritual coaches, who they are and what they do
The spread of many disciplines that help you find your inner balance, get to know yourself better, focus on the here and now without anxiety and find your purpose in life demonstrates how much many people have been lost, often due to an overly frenetic society. The need to pay greater attention to one’s spiritual nature, to take better care of one’s deepest side has become increasingly widespread. Many people, in an attempt to give answers to the big questions of life such as “who am I?”, “where am I headed?”, “what is the purpose of my life?”, have relied on spiritual coaches. Spiritual coaching it helps and accompanies the person to find not only their purpose but also to express themselves through their potential.
«Many spiritual coaches are because it is becoming almost fashionable to be one and to have one. The phenomenon of spiritual coaches, also called spiritual gurus, It arises from a profound need of our society, that is, that of reconnecting with ourselves. In a world where we are often in a hurry, life is very hectic and external stimuli are many and too many, often the connection with ourselves and who we really are is lost. In this sense the spiritual coach helps you rediscover yourself and your needs» explains the teacher.
So that’s external help it serves to develop an internal potential that is now hidden and unheard: in Ayurveda and yogi philosophy, in fact, everyone can be their own guru, because everyone already has within themselves the abilities and energies necessary to realize themselves. The problem arises when, immersed in everyday life, you lose sight of your own “I” and therefore need external help that rebalances everything.
Spiritual coaches are therefore people who «strengthened by their decades of experience, not only have they managed not to lose contact with themselves but above all they have always put into practice the dogmas that they spread, first and foremost respect for oneself and the world. It is no coincidence that spiritual coaches concretely help with green or social projects.”
The spiritual guru beyond clichés
«It is essential to understand what spiritual coaches actually do because it is often believed that these guides simply limit themselves to saying what should or should not be done, like coaches. In reality it is much more. In this case, it is not enough to take a course to become a spiritual guru but years of experience and lived life are necessary following certain dogmas.”
Fundamental, in fact, when one decides to approach these figures, is thehave the same life values in common. The In fact, the relationship that is created between coach and person is very deep and it is necessary that the vision is the same. It is also important to underline another aspect: unlike what one might think, the spiritual coach is not tied to religion.
The concept of “spiritual”, in fact, is used in the broadest sense of the term, it is not necessary to be a believer to rely on a figure of this type: from this perspective, therefore, the path you undertake is extremely personal, open to the change you can make to rediscover yourself and be more aware of your potential: «Given the delicate role, in this case the term “coach” is used somewhat inappropriately: more than a teacher, he is a guide who, through his own experience, advises and accompanies, sometimes even becoming a source of inspiration.”
