Awakening to Effortless Presence

If prayer would do it
I’d pray.
 
If reading esteemed thinkers would do it
I’d be halfway through the Patriarchs.
 
If discourse would do it
I’d be sitting with His Holiness
every moment he was free.
 
If contemplation would do it
I’d have translated the Periodic Table
to hermit poems, converting
matter to spirit.
 
If even fighting would do it
I’d already be a blackbelt.
 
If anything other than love could do it
I’ve done it already
and left the hardest for last.

What is a coach?

A coach is someone who sees you, who hears you, and who offers you an unconditional space in which to lay down the burden of what you think you know. In this openness you can rest, listen, explore, discover, and express. There is no way of knowing what this will look like.
Sometimes it is bright clarity, sometimes it is weeping, sometimes it is dialogue, sometimes it is just sitting in stillness, sometimes it’s celebration, sometimes it is the work of bringing things to completion.

Without pressure, without pushing and struggling, you discover a way of being with yourself that is fresh, innocent and clear. This way of being reveals itself, as you relax and inquire into your feelings perceptions and beliefs. The more you relax into effortless presence, the easier it is to awaken the flame of inquiry. As we work together, we learn how to keep this flame of inquiry burning, brighter and brighter, illuminating all that has been confused, distorted, and hidden away.
