What's a Spiritual Development Coach?

What is a spiritual development coach? Most of us have questions like, why am I here? What's my purpose? What's my calling? Which way do I go now? Why has this happened to me? What does this mean? And these questions come about from our spiritual journey. So what's a spiritual development coach? Let's have a look:

A spiritual development coach is there to help you on your spiritual journey, to guide you and look at the answers you are asking. Ideally, the coach will be more of a mentor and mirror. The questions you ask won't be answered by the coach; they will help you find the answers.

The coach should be nonbiased and be able to refer to various religious and spiritual beliefs.

They should also be able to help break down goals into manageable steps and explore techniques, tasks & exercises relating to your journey.

The coach will endeavour to approach the subjects holistically, taking the perspective as a whole, to help gain the balance required.

A spiritual development coach, is not a counsellor, although some of the things you discuss will be in relation to your wellbeing.

The journey you go on with the coach will be reflective and you will be encouraged to keep a journal.

So why do I need a spiritual development coach? A coach will help you approach the points you raise from different angles, which you may not necessarily see by yourself. They help polish the mirror, so you can see yourself more clearly.

The coach will not tell you what to do, won't preach to you, and will not ask you to do anything you do not want to do. They will not tell you who you are. Also your sessions will be confidential.

Overall, the coach is there to talk & walk with you along your spiritual journey, be a guide and friend, who you can approach with confidence.

Sougen. 🙏
