Awakening - the beginning of the path inward

The last few weeks have introduced many new beginnings - new coaching relationships at the first moments of awakening, and this is the driving emotion, that feeling of waking up lost and not knowing where to turn.  It is the most sacred time, the time to listen inward to one's own wisdom.  This is the time for me as a coach to help people listen to themselves vs. to me.  It is seductive to think that I might have an answer for someone in pain, but the elegant, simple truth is that we all have our own answers when we take the time to ask and to listen for it.

"If you do not ask yourself what it is you know, you will go on listening to others and change will not come because you will not hear your own deepest truth." -- St. Bartholomew
