The Effects of Nature and Our Environment on Brain Waves and Health

Our brain waves are normally in beta which is between 14 to 40 hertz; however, when we are in a state of deep relaxation we can connect the brainwave frequency of the earth which is 7.83 hertz also known as the Schumann Resonance.

Not every client has access to open nature, but when possible, it is a best practice to spend time in nature so that we can slow down our brainwave frequency toward the theta state, which can have profound therapeutic implications on our health.

Taking in nature has a rejuvenating effect. It can literally help to relax us; the earth has much potential to teach us these lessons in such a simple, pure form. Intuitively, this is why we are often guided to be in nature as a way to relax the body.

Basic Therapies Used By Holistic Life Coaches

August 19, 2019 by Liz Carter

A Certified Holistic Life Coach has to recognize how different holistic coaching strategies need to be. Your role becomes more than just helping clients understand aspects of holism, but you might also be tasked with helping your client to adopt holistic changes as part of a healthier lifestyle – meaning that most of your clients will look to you for advice on how to manage some aspect of their self-care or human maintenance needs. Maybe in part, because they do not know how to live holistically, they may want to make a change or – for some – a health crisis drives a client to seek our help. Others might be confused about where to start. [Read more…]

Is Everything “Holistic” Coaching? Should it be?

December 4, 2018 by Liz Carter

We’re serious about the statement that everything is “holistic” coaching.

You will likely agree once you read our reasoning.

As coaches, we strive to optimize the results for our clients, regardless of their desired objective. You and I both know that there must be some type of balance and harmony for your clients while they pursue their dreams.

That’s an aspect of holism.

Even in cases when someone has massive goals such as doing the Ironman triathlon, writing a best-selling book, or building a new business; there must be some holistic balance.

REAL MEN MEDITATE with their wife and kids!

June 28, 2014 by jse

Meditation can conjure up visions of yogis peacefully residing on a mountaintop, one with the earth and sky. That may seem to be a very unobtainable state, however, meditation is something that everyone can do (mountaintop optional).

As a yoga instructor and a mom of three, I welcome families to come together to take my classes, in fact I encourage it. New moms with their babies, moms and dads with toddlers in tow, everyone can benefit from the practice. Parents are often surprised at how their kids are natural-born yogis! I often use the babies to show the proper way to breath, deep from your belly. The babies are my best assistant instructors in long deep breathing. After class, no matter the group I am teaching, is always meditation time and there are some wonderful meditations that families can participate in!
