These thoughts and insights were collected
during trainings in Soulwork Systemic Coaching presented by Martyn Carruthers
Presuppositions
- Your body - and your mind - reflect your
relationships
- Nobody dies - only bodies
- There's no such thing as a family secret
- Children will try to complete what their parent's start
The experience of Integrity
or Soul during Soulwork Systemic Coaching corresponds with descriptions from
many spiritual traditions. Many people attracted to Soulwork want to
directly experience the Sense of Life or Integrity that is the Soul
of Soulwork...
- You can only consider what you can comprehend
- Soul cannot be comprehended - Soul can be experienced
- Soul communicates through behavior
- Soul communicates through clarity, courage, focus ... and
suffering
Definitions
- Soul is connectedness: from your connectedness comes
consciousness
- Soul is consciousness: from your consciousness you focus
experience
- Soul is experience: from your experience you choose how to
act
- Soul is action: from your actions you create your reality
- Soul is reality: from your reality, you express your sense
of life
Identity
Your life is your eternal springtime, as
consciousness blossoms into connectedness. Soul is your
summer of inspiration. Your harvest is your sense of life - your happiness.
As you build your sense of life, your transient physical,
emotional and intellectual appetites may fade in your growing experience of
integrity. You can transcend consciousness and experience integrity.
Beliefs
Beliefs are generalizations: your verbalized summaries of
experience by which you attempt to communicate abstractions. You create beliefs
based on your experiences; and you accept beliefs to strengthen
your relationships.
You perceive your external reality through your beliefs. You will
continually
prove yourself right.
If you examine your beliefs, you will eventually discover a stable
experience of self - of YOU-ness - that transcends your beliefs.
Experiences
Use your senses to experience - to observe, to listen, to smell, to
touch, to feel and to intuit.
- Experience deeply, express intently and listen
heartfully
- Listen to words, observe your images, and let them go
- We can move past that which we observe, into Soul
- Everything is our experience of reality
Feel
- Feel the sounds around you as the pulse of your life
- Feel the abundant life around you - and
including you
- Feel your rhythms of creation, your growth, your
expanding life energy
- Stop your thoughts and feel the wind, the rain, the sun, the earth
Communicate
- You cannot not communicate
- Express your intent and motivation clearly
- Share your experience with words and actions
- Accept and ponder your revelations before sharing them
Relationships
Consider the potential meanings and purposes of each
relationship. Observe your attachments to physical relationships and convert
those attachments to conscious interactions.
- Physical, emotional and intellectual actions have
spiritual consequences
- Every relationship will mirror what you experience in
yourself
- Every relationship can be a profound spiritual
experience
- How are you using or abusing physical bodies?
Live Consciously
Conscious living applies knowledge and emotions with
congruent action.
- Honor your life, and other lives, by fulfilling
your life purpose
- Work together to bring harmony, restore balance
and build peace
- Congruence reflects life experiences, decisions
and consequences
Unconscious Living - Robot Habits
Your habits are your patterns of attachment.
Study your routines. Observe your responses, feelings and
actions. Recognize your habits as you interact with the world.
If you respond only in the ways you know how to
respond - you cannot recognize and transcend your habits.
- Observe robotic expectations and beliefs in yourself and others
- Observe the consequences of thoughtless, robot habits
- Move from habit to purpose by asking "What increases happiness?"
Environment
Observe your actions and reactions within your environment.
Are you sensitive to your physical environment and how the components function
and exist? Do you monitor your impact on your environment? Perceive how your
environment blends and interacts with your creativity.
- Interact with your environment by merging and harmony
- Move through your environment as a component; not as a
user or abuser
Integrity
- Your actions ALWAYS reflect your integrity
- Separation exists only in your mind
- Each moment connects the infinite with the temporal
- Expectations, beliefs, judgments and attachments can block integrity
