Reasons That Going Green and Sustainable Living Makes Sense

Why Going Green Makes Sense

There is a variety of reasons to go green, but most come back to supply and demand. We have a limited amount of resources available and more and more people using them up. If we want our future generations to enjoy the same standard of living we’ve experienced, we need to take action.

Green building is a great place to start, as buildings consume 14% of potable water, 40% of raw materials, and 39% of energy in the United States alone (according to the US Green Building Council). That’s 15 trillion gallons of water and 3 billion tons of raw materials each year! If that’s not enough to convince you, here are some other reasons to go green:

For The Environment

Want to make the world a better place? Implementing green practices into your home or office can help reduce waste, conserve natural resources, improve both air and water quality, and protect ecosystems and biodiversity. [Read more…]

Empowering and Repowering Your Clients

by

Reaching Holistic Goals

A great coach distinguishes his or herself by how well they empower clients to begin to take responsibility and take steps towards their holistic goals. Since it helps to identify and untangle some of the barriers that have kept them stuck, we want to look at what our client sees as important.

Your First Meeting and Assessment

Holistic goals that require change for our client are not going to happen overnight but we can usually organize a complete strategy for clients within the first couple of sessions. With this in mind, be sure to inform clients that your first meeting with them is really a conversation – about the fit between yourself and the client. It is also a time for assessing if Holistic Coaching is right for them.

How to Prioritize Holism in Your Lifestyle | Holistic Nutrition and Living

by

Holistic Nutrition and Living

The word holistic denotes interconnectivity. Prioritizing a Holistic lifestyle means understanding the importance of various factors in health, and how they are interconnected. It means that for a healthy lifestyle, one needs to take multiple steps.

Holistic health or lifestyle is a neglected thing in conventional medicine, which focuses on signs and symptoms and treating disease conditions. However, a holistic approach to health and nutrition forms the basis of most traditional forms of medicine.

Using Positive and Negative Emotional Attractors in Your Coaching Model

Personal visions have a long history in coaching and form the backbone of our work done with clients. For a client to reach holistic goals, there has to be a clear vision, and yet holism itself implies more than a single facet of our client. But getting to our client’s vision is so coveted, that it is a model used in other health, fitness, and wellness settings. [Read more…]

Working With The Core Elements: Nature, Nurture and Spirit

by

We know by now that the holism movement is based on a philosophy of combining the body, mind, and spiritual elements as the earth, moon, and sun.

Nature, Nurture and Spirit

If you have trouble envisioning how the Earth, moon, and sun are spiritual, consider this account, by Edgar Mitchell, the sixth man on the moon (and later a founder of The Institute of Noetic Sciences). Mitchell said that while standing on the moon he was deeply moved and felt a strong connection to our planet.

“It was a beautiful, harmonious, peaceful-looking planet, blue with white clouds, and one that gave you a deep sense of home, of being, of identity. It is what I prefer to call an instant global consciousness.”

Principles of a Wellness-Based Diet

Principles of a Wellness-Based Diet

The term nutrition is the overall process of ingestion, digestion, absorption, and metabolism of food. All of these processes allow the nutrients from food to be assimilated and utilized by the tissues of the body. The guidelines for healthy nutrition apply to both physically active and sedentary individuals alike.

The needs of athletes and physically active individuals are primarily different from sedentary individuals in the fact that physical activity boosts caloric needs. With an increase in caloric intake, the macro- and micronutrients typically follow suit (assuming the additional calories don’t come solely from soft drinks, candy, and desserts).

Holistic Coaching vs Therapy

Therapists and counselors are recognized as experts who focus largely on cleaning up or completing old issues.

Coaching takes a different approach, reaching into the magical realms of manifestation, designing one’s life, and forwarding action to realize one’s dreams.

Coaches act as partners, helping clients to recognize their own abilities to find the right direction and to address challenges along the way.

Coaches are works in progress. They are in-the-making models of what it means to learn fully, be fully effective, and be on the path to creating a more and more joyful and fulfilling life. Therapists only model living what they view as normal.

How to recommend the best bodywork for your wellness coaching clients

by

Bodyways (sometimes called Bodyworks or similar) can be one way for your client to benefit from an often-overlooked method to improve their holistic health. By definition, Bodyways are used in alternative medicine to describe any therapeutic or personal development technique that involves working with the human body in a form involving manipulative therapy, breath work, or energy medicine. In addition bodywork techniques aim to assess or improve posture, promote awareness of the “mind-body connection”, or to manipulate a putative “energy field” surrounding the human body and affecting health.
