Qigong & Daoist Coaching

COACHING
Instead of following methods, strategies, or techniques to navigate or avoid difficult experiences, we bring into our hearts a sense of aliveness, the essence of who we are, which brings unified strength and wisdom. By uncovering how the human experience works, and realizing that we are not our thoughts, feelings, or experiences, you’re able to discover a space where you’re always welcomed home to the unfolding of life. The Dao is this inherent way or order that's innate within nature and ourselves. Through coaching sessions we connect with this humbling power, letting go of the shoulds and wants, and instead tuning into what is.
Rather than give advice or analyze the past, we’ll mainly focus on the present moment in order to reveal your intrinsic access to inner wisdom, creativity, and resourcefulness. From this place, action is more effortless and becomes an expression of who you are. In working together, I'm with people as they reconnect to inner truths, rediscovering that our okayness is never in question. The good news is that this realization is always just one thought and one moment away. You already have all the answers, it’s my job to help you uncover them and lift the fog of misunderstanding.
~ Michael Neill
"There is a space within you where you are already perfect, whole, and complete. It is a space of pure consciousness - the space inside which all thoughts come and go."
WHAT ARE THESE INNER TRUTHS?
1
Do you always believe what you’re thinking or feeling? Somewhat surprisingly, we are not our experience. This one can be easy to forget, but when you realize that you’re not what you’re feeling, that these feelings and emotions are simply passing through, temporary, and made through the power of thought, then you’re able to sink deeper into who you truly are.
2
Who we are is much more than a collection of experiences, activities, feelings, or thoughts. We’re an extension of the one formless energy that has created all of life. This could also be called The Dao, the way of the natural unfolding of life, the flow of the universe and all of creation. The Dao cannot fully be described or understood linguistically, but it can be felt and acknowledged by its permeating eternal presence. It is the field of infinite potential, where everything comes into manifestation. Being in communion with The Dao is about letting go of attachment and expectations and dropping into the beauty of the unknown. If we truly knew everything that was going to happen to us in our lifetime would that bring safety or boredom?

We have the ability to be aware when we’re believing the content of our thinking or when we’re more in touch with our true nature. This power of consciousness holds one of the keys to surrendering to life’s great unfolding.

When we tap into the gift of awareness there is more space between thoughts, more room to breathe in between feelings and emotions, with an increased capacity to witness the flow of experience.
Imagine you are in a tiny room with no windows, and everything is cluttered, dirty and messy. This can be our mind sometimes when everything feels so cramped, no room to maneuver, and everything is in our face. Now picture yourself with all the same things around you, but instead of a small room, you’re outside with no walls, no barriers, surrounded by all of nature. You can walk in any direction and just leave the messy things where they are. This vastness, depth, and spaciousness is what you have access to, it’s what you are. And when you connect with what you truly are, all the extra stuff doesn’t matter as much.
COACHING TESTIMONIALS
"A typical session with Josh consists of a clear arc from problem or opportunity to solution. The most amazing part of each journey is Josh's ability to gently set aside the initial hesitation and dig deeper to find the answers within. He does this by creating a safe environment, free from judgment, full of positive energy, and always with tons of laughter. With his help, I have noticed that I am more confident and able to see things from different perspectives. Josh also helps me notice all aspects of myself, emphasizing the positive, which I often take for granted. It's truly refreshing to acknowledge and celebrate my achievements with someone who genuinely appreciates my uniqueness. I recommend Josh wholeheartedly to anyone who is looking to explore their potential, especially if you aren't sure of yourself. He can be your mirror mirror on the wall."
