What is Spirit-Life Coaching, and why might I be interested?

“I’ve benefited more from a few coaching sessions with Colleen than I have from several years of therapy.”  BH, MDiv

Spirit-Life Coaching is born of my belief that ordinary people can and do become whole; that they can and do live in ways that express their highest most cherished values; that realization, self-actualization, enlightenment is the true occupation of human existence.

The spiritual journey is not “pie-in-the-sky.”  This is not the easy route through life.  I will tell you that living from your most cherished values is one of the most challenging, and yet rewarding, ways to live.  It takes every ounce of courage and willingness that you can muster.  It is the path less traveled.  

To summarize the process, there are two equally necessary facets to self-actualization that coexist:  (a) self-knowledge [knowing who we are at the core and awakening to our values, needs and wants] and (b) the willingness to act out that real self in our lives.

Spirit-Life Coaching is all about the business of keeping you on track within those two facets, while holding you accountable to practice bit by bit in your everyday living. It is about empowering you to go from seeking to self-actualization.

“I had the privilege of working with Colleen for three months.  During that time, I came to really value the coaching process as a viable means for making significant changes in life.  Colleen collaborated with me to help me reach several meaningful goals.  I found her to be a wonderfully intuitive and supportive partner on my journey.  DG, CEC

If you are a seeker, you feel the tug on your heart to persevere in self-discovery; to find and live your purpose.  Through my Spirit-Life Coaching, you will learn what it very literally means to live WHOLEHEARTEDLY.  A realized person is inner-outer directed.  I mentor HeartMath® techniques as tools that take you from stress to inner peace, as well as to ultimately access the inner wisdom of intuition.

It is difficult to stay the course of the path less traveled.  Results are not particularly measurable.   You will find that you have a different perspective about life and people than you did before.  You will also be facing the “enemy” within and confronting obstacles.  There may be tough choices to be made based on living your values.  It is advantageous to the outcome to have a life coach.

I will be there for you to clarify your vision and values, refine your spiritual practices, maintain motivation and evaluate outcomes.  As your Spirit-Life Coach, I will bring to you confirmation, affirmation, as well as encouragement, support and validation.

“Colleen Steele has been a HeartMath one-on-one coach since early 2005.  She recently worked on a coaching project with us, and in the customer satisfaction reports, Colleen received all “extremely satisfied” comments.  She is wonderful to work with and very popular with clients – easy to talk to, listens from the heart and is both skillful and wise in her response.” SC, HM CA
