Coaching

In the process of working and coaching with clients invariably there is a time when the client experiences being stuck , there are a few useful questions which then lead to a call for action that eventually gets the person unstuck and on the way to where they want to go.

1. What truth have you not spoken? - Speak it
2. What lies have you said? - Clean your Act
3. What do you still owe to others? - Return it
4. What do others still owe you? - Get it back
5. What agreements have you not kept? - Apologise
6. What amends do you need to do? Keep it
7. Where do you have Clutter in your life? Clear it
8. What boundaries have you to draw in your personal, official, professional and social life? - Draw it and go public with it.

This has been working well with many of my clients, because they need to take time to ponder over it and usually their unconscious lands them the whammy that they need to handle and then from thereon pure magic unfolds! Try it.

Health, a light body, freedom from cravings, a glowing skin, sonorous voice, fragrance of body: these signs indicate progress in the practice of meditation. 
-Shvetashvatara Upanishad 


Eknath Easwaran's Commentary
If you are practicing meditation regularly, be sure to get adequate physical exercise. This is very important. The deeper your interior life, the greater the need for vigorous physical activity. People sometimes fall into a kind of lethargy in the mistaken belief that this is what it means to work without tension. It is just the opposite. The body is our instrument of physical service, and it thrives on vigorous movement. If you are young or already in good condition, vigorous here means vigorous. Swimming, running, and fast-paced sports that require concentration are all excellent exercise. But unless you are in condition, do not jump into such activities immediately. Work up to them gradually. If you are over thirty-five or have any particular physical problems, ask your doctor to start you on an exercise program.

In meditation we gradually reduce our obsessive identification with the body. The body will begin to feel lighter, our step will be more buoyant, and our senses will come more easily under our control. By getting plenty of physical exercise, we help this process along.
