Coaching and Living From a Place of Intuition – Living a natural spontaneous life

Aug 4, 2023

By Mac Dryden, ACC, BS

As coaches and human beings we rarely need the overcomplicated stories and ideas that we’ve been taught. We each have access to our innate, intuitive genius in each moment when we tap in. If you look, you will see all babies and animals have this innate, intuitive genius guiding and supporting their lives.

As educated adults, we too have the natural, inner guidance which is always present, giving us what we need in every moment -if we would but listen!

As I write this I notice my cat walking to the screen door, suddenly he pauses mid stride with one paw raised ears rotating, listening. The rest of his body motionless, silent, the spontaneity of the moment catching his attention. I too am caught in this moment of wonder. Staring. After a moment of listening he begins moving and is ready to go outside. This spontaneous discovery of the moment is what intuitive living and coaching is all about.

To be spontaneous we must drop our old ideas, and arrive into this now. From this now we discover our current self, our current reality, and can actually respond to our current desires and needs. What does this moment say to you? What do you need to know in this moment? What needs to be said in this moment?

In the not knowing, the knowing that is relevant is known.

When we remember these elegantly simple things about ourselves, and our universe something happens to our minds and bodies. We get to be who we innately are once again, and all that stuff we were wrapped up in before falls away like old leaves in the wind as we return to the trunk of our inner being.

So come join me for this Monday’s monthly Mindfulness Coaching Call where I will be offering some simple tools and ideas that support you in living a life of intuitive guidance and joy.

Body Electric gave me more confidence in the mindfulness and somatic tools I was using in my coaching as well as added a whole new dimension of tools to my toolbox. Having access to effective somatic tools has deepened and enriched the coaching experience for me and my clients.

Body Electric is great for those that are looking to challenge the automatic responses and default ways of thinking and being. Realizing that the conversation with the body has a different vibration and that it doesn’t always speak quickly is so valuable. Our bodies are a wealth of comfort and wisdom. This class provides tools for starting that dialogue with yourself and with others.
Alicia UpchurchStudent CoachBrooklyn, New York
The Mindfulness Coaching School has been an amazing resource for me on many levels. I took S-T-R-E-T-C-H! when Ann Marie suggested it would be a great addition to what we’d been working on in our coaching sessions. The class was so inspiring I decided to become a coach myself! I’ve taken 6 classes already and plan to take more. I love Ann Marie’s style of teaching; the academic aspect, the mindful/spiritual piece and the opportunity to work with other like-minded people during homework sessions. Ann Marie is a bottomless source of knowledge and inspiration and I am forever grateful!

The Dynamic Trio program was wonderful. I learned so much that I have applied right away, and yet the course itself felt light and effortless – perfect conditions for learning. I am taking away a renewed sense of the power of positive psychology and feel more liberated yet grounded in my coaching work. The client imagery and somatic awareness from the practices and applications have been so inspiring and moving. Thank you!

This class is a terrific investigation of the ways that mindfulness and meditation can support both the coach and client, with specific practices, tips for consistency, and scientific evidence all explored. I learned new skills for leading meditation class, supporting client well being, and deepening my own meditation practice.

Suzanne L'HeureuxStudent CoachOakland, California
I loved this course [The Art of Engaged Mindfulness]! It brought me strength, understanding and joy at getting to know myself in a different and more substantive way. I am already using my learning to be a better coach for my clients. My gratitude for this course overflows!
Karen SidesStudent CoachKerrville, TX
I was reluctant to take this course [Mindful Eating: Mindful Life] as I have struggled with eating disorders since my teens. I didn’t want yet another “eating plan” that would add more clutter to my already busy thoughts about food. I honestly only took the class because it was required for PCC and I came in thinking that maybe I could learn something to help my clients. But honestly, I learned a ton about myself, my thoughts about food and eating, as well as many tools and ideas to use with my clients.
