Higher Self Connection with Life Coach

One of the most rewarding and inspiring aspects of my work as a Holistic Counseling Services is facilitating the Higher Self Connection with a client. I can feel it in my belly when I witness someone experiencing the Higher Self Connection for the first time or the first time in a very long time.

Many New Age books make it sound easy with their claims of "Five Easy Steps Towards Enlightenment", but anyone who has done any deep spiritual work is acutely aware that it is not easy or fast. But how do we stay on the path with life's challenges and surprises?...

Spiritual Change: Tie Your Shoes Differently

“Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” Laozi

It was 1989 and I was just feeling ready for life to move forward for me, after a series of very challenging years.  I asked an old friend named Bill while sharing thoughts on life and spiritual growth, “What do I need to do to begin the process of change in my life in a profound way?” Bill was one of the most trusted and supportive men in my life when I was beginning this process of spiritual development.

At this point in my life, I did not trust many people and took even less advice. Asking for help was not one of my strengths....
