The Fundamentals
· Remembering the Resource: This body-centered technique helps clients to realign with what has gone right in their lives– their resources and their accomplishments. They connect with their internal ‘natural resources’ – body, mind and spirit – and remember their resilience and strength. Remembering the resource creates a good feeling which is often accompanied by an image or symbol. It reminds clients about the part of them that can use this resource to handle the current situation.
· Embodying Key Words (Metaphor): Along with empowered listening, it is important that you listen to the language your clients use. They may use language in the form of metaphors, word pictures, and other words or phrases which are expressive. Often the language they use is representative of how their body is feeling and contains valuable information about how they experience the world. This technique can be used both as a way of being with a client going through a difficult situation or as a way to celebrate an accomplishment with them.
· Embracing the Signal:‘Embracing the signal’ is primarily an attitude. It’s an attitude that says to our body, “I am listening. Thanks for signaling me to pay attention and to be mindful.” In body-centered coaching, you get curious about physical sensations: anything from pleasure to pain. Everything that is happening in the body can be something to become interested in; thereby assisting your clients to do likewise. It also involves appreciation and giving thanks.This product is a download.
