The other day I was talking with a friend about the money-related details of my life like selling my house, building a business and so on. I caught myself saying: "I don't know how to DO this shit. I need a coach or something." Later I was watching TV and noticed that a man, working with a movie star, called himself a "sobriety coach."
I began to think about spirituality and the complex simplicity of being in its flow. I realized that many of us need or want a guide or coach for various things. It's like having a good friend or fellow traveler. In some cultures and in some eras, people HAD medicine men or women. They were drawn to those who could help them and it wasn't shameful. It was honorable to have a spirit guide; it was part of life's normal process.
Several years ago, in a Reiki session, I had a past-life experience and saw myself as a medicine woman living on a lake at the edge of a Native American tribe. Since then, I've been doing everything I can to prepare myself for that role.
What IS that role? It's giving voice to the inner wisdom of others. In our culture, the closest thing to it is the life coach function or calling. The spiritual guide, like the life coach, does not tell you what to do or what path to follow. The spiritual guide listens with an open heart and hears the voice of your soul. The spiritual guide highlights "soul moments" as they appear in your sharings and helps you see the spiritual path unrolling in front of you.

Roxie, its time to thank you. The title of the blog, the sheer slang, made me curious and reading made me pleasantly aware of a deep-thinking person and a very down-to-earth seeker. I enjoyed commenting. But I think its time to move on as my comments are perhaps not adding any value. Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteHi Suhas,
