There are some coaches who talk about how the universe is involved in coaching while others don't, but in truth it has an impact on all coaching whether it's life coaching, performance coaching or business and executive coaching. When we talk about the universe in coaching what we're really talking about is quantum mechanics and in particular the quantum field.
Quantum mechanics deals with the universe at the smallest levels down to the electron size and has at its core the concept that everything is energy and matter. Without diving too deep into the subject, quantum mechanics explains how very small particles can simultaneously have the characteristics of particles (matter) and waves (energy). These waves have the potential to form into anything until they are observed at which time they collapse into matter.
So, you might ask, what in the name of Sam Hill does that have to do with coaching? The answer is: everything. Everything is energy: from the physical world we see around us to our bodies including our emotions and our thoughts. Since we are electromagnetic our thoughts, acting as waves, go out to the universe and the magnetic part of us, our emotions, attract back what we think about which are the things we see in our daily lives that we call physical reality. This process is a law of the universe, like gravity, and it's one we're obeying all the time whether we realize we're doing it or not.
Everything you see in your life from the quality of your relationships, the size of your bank account, your job and your health are all things that you have created (Only a tiny fraction of illnesses are related to genetics). Your life is quantum mechanics in action. The two fundamental components of how we manifest everything in our lives are through our thoughts and our emotions and very few people pay much attention to these on a daily basis.
As a coach my job is to shift how my clients think about the situation in their life they want to improve so that they can call in from the universe the change they desire. This isn't simply a 'think positive' process (if it were we'd all be sitting on the couch watching TV, eating a bag of Doritos and waiting for the million dollars we've been thinking about to magically land at our front door), but it doesn't work like that.
Coaching taps into something much deeper. It brings to awareness your mindset about things in your life where you feel blocked and which, no matter how hard you may have tried, never seem to get better. Coaches give their clients the tools to shift their mindset to break through those kinds of blocks to help achieve anything they desire.
Everything great you want in your life already exists in the quantum field and the universe is watching and waiting for you to bring it into your life if you choose to do so. The science behind this is clear and the tools to do this are ones you have the capability to master. All you need to do is make a choice and once you begin to move the universe begins to move with you so that you can be the creator of your life and not a victim of your situation or circumstances. All it takes is a thought.
