Empowerment Coaching, what is it?

I often get asked this question as many people are not sure what the heck I do.  We are in a time of rapid change as humanity. Many of our old ideas and beliefs are not working anymore for us.  We are witness to the change with old systems collapsing, one of them being the financial arena as we knew it, another being jobs which are connected to the financial arena.

These are just a couple of examples of change, there are many more and we are being challenged to think differently and to use our minds in new ways. We have previously been taught to use our logical minds in order to make decisions and come to conclusions, the scientific model.  With the onset of the web and so much more information being available to us, we are often inundated with information and have way too much information and too many decisions for us to make. This is why many of us are stressed these days.

The time has come for us to utilize more of our brain, to expand our thinking, to connect to the universal mind through our intuition.  Many people think this is still woo-woo and to the old way of thinking it is, but our intuitive mind will not take us in the wrong direction, is more all seeing than our logical mind and can therefore see a much bigger picture and is able to move us past our fears and previous experiences.

The logical mind operates in a loop method, it takes an experience and comes to a conclusion, bad, good, scary, etc. When we next come upon a similar experience, it goes into its filing system to see what information it has stored, links to an emotion and lets us know whether we need to be wary or all is ok.  Part of the problem with this system is it will also work on hear say around experiences, so if the media or a friend reports someone having a bad experience, it will store that information too.

An example would be if a friend went downtown and got involved in a fight, the logic would store it as bad to go downtown. Now is it really? Does everyone who goes downtown get involved in a fight? Of course not, but one may have that information stored from a story they heard and there fore be hesitant about going downtown.  You might say I would never do that, but we do, the information becomes stored in our unconscious mind, information is constantly being retrieved from there with out us being consciously aware of it.

Which brings me to another point, we are also in a time where we need to be more conscious of what our minds are processing, this takes practice, most of us operate on fairly unconscious level.  If you don’t believe me, think about driving the car, it has become a habit and most of us do it without consciously thinking about it, we are thinking of other things or talking while we are driving.
