Anya Sophia’s Musings

Hello,

Each month I co-host this group with my colleague Ruth Hadikin. If you have an interest in transforming health care culture to one with a more holistic, integrative, approach to health, healing and well-being this group may interest you. Please feel free to join us…

Warmly, Ruth

This month’s meeting:

10:00 am ET (3pm UK), Friday, June20th on bridge 407-649-8983
(US bridge, UK callers dial 001 before this number)

This is a CoachU public Special Interest Group (SIG). All are welcome, you don’t need to be part of CoachU to participate. To join email Kathleenruth@ConsciousJourneyInstitute.com’ and put ‘medSIG invite’ in the subject header.

Our guest speaker Ellen Schuster-Nastir found it easier to access the corporate arena when she began offering a personality assessment tool as part of her coaching practice. She explains to us how this strategy works in the healthcare field.

Don’t miss this month:

“Increasing Communication Skills in Healthcare Offices”

Guest speaker Ellen Schuster-Nastir explains how the Peoplemap™ tool gives organisations a tangible focus, and rationale, for coaching. The benefits are multi-fold from improving interpersonal relationships among employees, more effective patient relationships, and increased employee job satisfaction, productivity and retention.

In addition to understanding healthcare office staffs, this tool helps us understand ourselves: how we relate with others, our natural strengths, and how to turn `weaknesses’ into `learned strengths’.

Ellen Schuster-Nastir M.Ed., CPCC is a Professional Certified Coach, Trainer, Speaker and Co-Author of “When Divorce Crosses Your Mind: What You Need To Know” She coaches professional service offices to work more cohesively together for greater job satisfaction, employee retention and increased productivity.

“This work is really something else. It’s called coaching but it’s far beyond that. It goes very deep in a short time - I’d love to learn it. It’s fascinating how Anya Sophia pays attention on the verbal level and emotional level at the same time so she hears what is needed to move… it’s like a double attention - reading energy and listening at the same time. So she is able to respond to changes of energy as the person is talking. I give my full support to what I observed. Go see for yourself.”

– Javier Rodriguez MA, Group Leader, Therapist, Coach

“In the CoachingNow group I experienced growth right along with those being coached, as if I were in their shoes, even though I did not speak once. This experience spoke to me of Anya Sophia’s unique ability to coach everyone in a group as if there were only of us in the room.”

-Jane Whitney Kimball, M.A, Educator and Coach

All are welcome with any situation wanting movement in your life. Anya Sophia loves her work and enjoys creating environments for shifts in perspective to happen, in the field of these gatherings that all of us co-create by showing up.
Thank you for joining us in this, our Conscious Journey.

Hi Folks !

Ah Relationships and all the growing edges that come with them.

If you think of it that way, it could save a marriage or grow a friendship. We are always moving to the next highest iteration of who we really are in the relationships and situations that we find ourselves in.

I think of today on the CoachNow free series that was offered this week by Conscious Journey of which I did the in-the-moment coaching in 10 minute increments. A particular situation of a women challenged by some decisions made on her husbands part, inviting more people on a vacation without consulting with her. The stress felt at the thought of this many people and she claiming to be an introvert, was not the real issue. The fear of showing up and speaking up, and always taking care of things to hide it, was the real underlying driving force from old patterns well worn from childhood programming.

Anger and resentment build and cause huge gaps in relationships, especially if they are unresolved from the past and they show up in our present partnerships. I am also reminded of gal who writes about how relationships are. in their most fulfilling states and in this knowing, projected onto a 10 year relationship that head officially ended, with a man who was not what she was writing about, but made him out to be. She bought into his potential, the potential that we all have in relationship. All overlaying the reality of what was not working in the couple. Her issues was really not being able to let go of the abrupt way it ended. When asked, how did it begin, was it quick, passionated, yes, yes … and then I said, “things end the way they begin” … she gasped in recognition of the truth. It ended as abruptly as it began. She just was not letting go of the “idea” of what she wanted this relationship to be. She, is all of us for the most part as we dance in and out of learning how to be in relationship. We pay a high price when we buy into someones potential, we invest ourselves, and stay way too long, hoping the potential will manifest. It rarely does.

Well, it has been an fantastic week of coaching from clear space intuitively, to the degree that I can in any moment, based on how connected I can be at the time. It is my deepest intention, to create an environement for something to shift in other. I believe there were many moment of that this week.

It has been a fulfilling opportunity to be of service . I appreciate all who had the courage to step in to play with their story so that just maybe, something would be different on the other side . I do believe for some it was. If you were there, and you are willing, either respond the a note in this block or send an email, it is so helpful for other people to hear about your shift so that they do will be encouraged to step forward for CoachingNow You can find more details at the website, http://www.ConciousJourneyInstitute.com/programs.htm

I would love to meet more of you and support you in your unique situations, with the possibility of shifts happening that could change your perspective more positive outlook of a situation.

Share your smiles, it will change your day.

Greetings !

Whose that looking back in the mirror. More importantly who are you seeing, as you look at yourself in the mirror. I have done this exercise many times. As a matter of fact, I will often do the field work myself, that I request of the client. The client is always growing me, and that is one of the ways I make sure of that.

Who I saw in the mirror was a reasonably attractive, bright eyed me. Absolutely not who I felt myself to be. So right there was the disconnect. What I saw and how I felt. That got me wondering where else in my life that disconnect might be. Is how I am feeling showing up as a reflection in my world hmmm. Sometimes yes, and often no. So, I began the journey of looking for the areas of incongruency. Where were the disconnects. Where was I out of integrity with who I felt myself to be. Lots of places.

There began the “voyage of self discovery”. Who am I anyway. Who is the who, who is asking about the I. Now sit with that one. And I did. Lot’s of meditation on the question, who am I. Then I began to create enough space in the silence of meditation to start to get the answers. And on that note, I want to share something that Eileen Caddy felt guided to write. Eileen Caddy, was the co-founder of the Findhorn Community in Scotland.

“Your are the point of Light within My mind. Your are the point of Love within My heart. You are the I Am That I Am. When you can accept this, when you can see yourselves as the microcosm of the macrocosm you will never again belittle yourselves or think ill of yourselves because you will realise that you are indeed made in My likeness, that we are One, and nothing and no one can seperate us. you are individually what I am Universally. Only the perfect stems from Me, therefore as with Me so with you, we are so closely interrelated.”

I leave you space now, to ponder the words and what they may mean to you.

Warm regards on your journey,

Anya Sophia Mann

Hello !

The quality of my silence has evolved over the years. It wasn’t always that way.

The voices in my head saying words like stupid idiot used to shadow my mind like clouds in the sky on a rainy day. The sad part is, I used to believe the words. And then I started living the words because, I believed them.

And now, silence is my good companion. It is with me most of the time as a place that I rest in and move with. I can get a lot of work done from there because it is not busy or distracting.

Silence is the single most potent gift I can offer anyone. When I am silent I can listen. Interesting how the word listen sits within the word silent as if telling us how to be silent, you listen. Both words containing exactly the same letters, like god and dog … hmm. It makes me wonder how much coding is embedded in language.

In todays tele-gathering for coaching-in-the-moment, the silence was profound and palpable throughout the call. It is my strong intention to use silence as a tool in coaching with people. It is an environment that can awaken the inner coach that is within all of us. I view myself as an instrument that life uses to guide the other person to hear there own voice. Often the voice of the inner critic is all they can hear. I too can often hear, sense, feel words and phrases from their inner critic that is running around in their mind. The way that happens for me varies with the person. It can be words that I actually see in my minds eye (or third eye), like flash cards held up in the air. Or over and above my right ear I hear a whisper in thoughts. Ponder that one, it’s tough to explain. You can actually hear in thoughts. Often intuition is heard that way depending upon how one is wired, we will get the information differently in a way that is unique to us.

Silence is a transformative space that I hold for the client to shift, because they truly do hold the answer within. I just create the clear space for it to happen, if it is going to. And nothing before it’s time. The quality of the silent space within my mind has taken quite some time to arrive. The more I sit still in a meditative way and in meditation, the quieter my chattering mind became. And what I then began to experience was being able to hear my own inner guidance. Living intuitively is a way of life for me now.

I am deeply grateful to all the clients I have been able to grow myself with. That is really what is going on in all connections and relations. We are being grown. Maturing as we grow. Perspective becoming more real. Being better able to deal with reality and becoming more responsible. Imagine all this coming from the ability to listen deeply. When my mind became quiet then I was able to listen with my whole body. Not much goes by without being noticed when the whole body is picking up things on the subtle energy level.

Listening from silent clear space has been the most rewarding gift I have received as a result of all my personal growth work. It is a gift I love to share. Much connection and transformation happens from there and my work feels effortless and joyful when coming from that space.

With deep gratitude and appreciation,

Anya Sophia Mann

Hello !

Wow, what a dance with the mind I experienced today.

While reflecting on a global conference call today, with people listening and witnessing each other as they came forward with very personal situations to be coached in 10 minute increments, their willingness still astounds me. I respect the courage so very much of all who show up for the call.

Our beautiful mind. It keeps us sooooo busy. Busy with so many things unrelated to who we really are. I danced with that today. Instead of being with 3 people for coaching in the hour for the gathering, one person became an aspect of all of us on the call, myself included. I am of the belief that, there is only one client, and that I am always coaching some aspect of myself in another on the call, which is true for the group who has gathered randomly (divine intervention for sure). Ten minutes as promised, became 30 minutes with one of us, as I think of it, for all of us who gathered. Thank you Carol.

After the call, using myself as a barometer for the pulse of the call, I can truly say I felt unsettled. That tells me that we were incomplete. In other words, unresolved. Like a song, every song as a resolve in the music of it. And this was unresolved. That does not mean that shifts were not going to happen. In my experience the greatest shifts happen after the call. This was validated by some of the emails from people about what is happening in their lives, and the shifts in attitude and heart they were finding themselves experiencing, unexplained and with no reason. The communications via email after the calls are so revealing as to the power of number, or groups, willing to gather with a single intention. In my case, it is the intention to be of the greatest service, for the greatest numbers, who gather in a single setting, for the highest shift for who they really are as a soul on this planet, in this human family, living under all circumstances imaginable and unimaginable.

You show up on a call and then, if you start noticing, something is different in your day. Hmm what is that. My thoughts are that you are affected in the effect of being in a group field of an energy situation that through the hearftelt intention, and desire of the group, to shift something in their lives, it happens. For all of us, in the oneness and connection the binds us in spirit.

Six hours later, resolved enough to write this blog, I can truly say there were lot’s of shifts going on, before, during and after the call. I am grateful for Carol and her willingness to courageously stick with the relentless questions on my part, to bring her deeper into her being where the true answers reside. They may still remain hidden but will soon bloom in the fertile soil. That is what I feel happens in my experience. Fertile soil is awakened. Because, if the soil is not fertiile, any seed planted cannot and will not grow.

I have great faith that in my fervent morning prayer: “Dear God, what would you have me say, what would you have me do, and to whom, I am of service, for my highest good, and the highest good of all, use me, with ease and grace“. So I walk into my day with an unwavering faith that I am being used with a capital ‘U’.

Thank you Maria, the one who has volunteered to be coached all week and put her experience on the website. You are so ready to be different in your life. By the way folks you can find it at http://www.consciousjourneyinstitute.com/programs.htm#CNS

Hello again !

I have just finished a tele-gathering where people join worldwide to witness and receive CoachingNow™. Basically, people who are willing, step forward with an issue they are dealing with in the moment. Coaching happens in 10 minute increments, the reason for this, is to keep the “story” our mind is making up around the situation to a minimum. Everyone is aware that I will often interrupt, so that my energy by listening, does not get used, to feed the problem they are giving voice to. When we feel disconnected we sabotage ourselves by making other the problem which is keeping us from connection to ourselves. Connection to our “self”, is the secret to success in being the leader in our own lives and true leadership flourishes from there.

As I leave the call, my own body which is highly empathic, is a barometer for how the person is feeling and is shifting and/or resisting the moment. Right now, I am very expanded, open and flowing. There is a palapable feeling, that all is right in the world. This is the best indicator that all went very well on the call and the group itself shifted as well as the 4 people who were coached. When just one person shifts, the entire group must shift, it is universal law as we are all connected. Briefly, what is meant by shift, is what has been held tightly, as a thought, feeling, perception or idea, the hold has been released and the system (body) can relax and then there is an opening for new information, feeling and perspective to arise, given the problem/challenge a new view, in other words, there has been a shift.

My perception or view of every one in the group is that they are one person with different aspects being presented in the challenges they are bringing forth. That alone puts me into the awareness that we are all connected to each other energetically. There is an energy field that gets created by us gathering and I meet everyone in that field so to speak. From there I can feel the oneness. And when I am in the unity consciousness of feeling the connection, most importantly to myself first, there can be no disconnection, only the illusion of it. Most everyone will present there “story” from a place of disconnection making it be about “other” in their challenge. I simply hold the space of oneness and unity and that alone will connect me to there higher self, where all the wisdom is and often they will actually coach themself to solution or new perspective, from that place . Because from there, there compassionate heart gets engage, as they experience no judgement from me and therefore then can see the other as not the enemy but someone who needs compassion and understanding. And when that gets evoked, by my being that in the moment, the true healing can begin, for us all in the tele-gathering and beyond, as they take the new shift out into there world.

This week I will be blogging daily to share what is happening for me in doing these session so that you again have privy to the behind the scenes for what is happening in my experience so you to can begin to tap into and access this way of being for yourself. Also, feel free to join us. Send me an email and I will give you the bridge number, and times for Monday through Friday to listen in or jump in to the group.

Enjoy a happy day today by sharing smiles all around.

Warm regards,

Warm Greetings Global Readers !

First, it feels important to share a definition I relate with from Ask.com on musing since I named my weblog page Anya Sophia’s Musings. Musing: A product of contemplation; a thought.

“an elegant tapestry of quotations, musings, aphorisms, and autobiographical reflections.” (James Atlas)

My intention with this blog is to be inspiring and intimate with the goings on of my inner world as a highly accurate intuitive. I will be inviting you behind the scenes of some phenomenal coaching and consulting outcomes. In other words, what may appear to be my secrets, are really the way I live daily, as intuitive and a highly sensitive empathic.

One secret that often clients aren’t aware of (until now) is that I am pretty much plugged in all the time and can access the energy field of most people, places and things. What that means is I am getting information instantly that enormously contributes to how I coach and consult for maximum, highly personal and relevant results. Of course, there are also great skills being utilized as well. However for this blog, I want to share much of the working of my inner world as a way of teaching something that you too can awaken and develop for yourself.

Another secret is, I am writing a book and screenplay. The book and movie is about my life and the already highly developed gifts with which I was born. My working title is Born Connected: The Courage to Live Your Gifts. The book and movie tell the story of the challenges of being born with gifts and the beauty of their use, highlighting the stories of people whose lives have greatly benefited. My desire is to bring the reader and audience into my world as I experience it. For example, the audience would see the auras that I see or would hear the whisper that come just above my right ear all giving me information multidimensionally about whatever my attention is on. The purpose of the medium of a book and movie is to be a teaching environment to show how to access and use these innate gifts. I look forward to sharing my process with you in this blog.

So folks, here it is the beginnings of a journey through blogging that will be an adventure for us all. I would love for this to be of benefit in very many ways, so please visit often. One of the best ways that I tap into intuitive guidance is when I am asked a question. I invite you to post questions on anything personal or professional, be anonymous if you choose, just know that it will all be posted here. My only request is that you give follow-up comments so that the readers will have privy to the accuracy, results and value of the information that is given for consideration and guidance. The reason I am doing the question piece is so that I can share live, in the moment background happenings as to the way I “get” things, as well as answering the questions.

I am most happy to share aspects of my world with all of you.

Warm regards,

Anya Sophia Mann
