You may find it ironic that I have had difficulty explaining my work and how it impacts people. Bring me your challenges and gifts, and I will be able to articulate them clearly and directly. My own; eh, not so much. That is the way of intuition sometimes. So clear for others, so tricky for self. I believe that is what makes the journey an adventure, and while I’ve always trusted I could describe it someday, I have been frustrated about when that someday was going to freaking show up!
Guess what? I got it!
It started decades ago when I got certified in coaching using the four directions. Admittedly, that felt too boxed in for me, so I went flying around the universe, allowing the energy to guide sessions only to realize that some direction was excellent. Fast forward to the last year when I’ve been so forcefully, or so it felt, guided by spirit to create the bundles that I have for sale because I KNEW so much sadness and stagnation could be alleviated with a bit of work and direction, so I put a lot of time and energy into making them.
Then, the idea of the compass came about because I am good at helping my clients look inward, figure out the best directions for them, and create results. Also, shout out to Mike, my love, because he teased it out of me on a walk one day when I was expressing the frustration of not being able to name what I do and how I want everyone to like themselves on their way to loving themselves. I’m so grateful for that walk because it opened up a flood of creativity and the container that best describes my coaching style and the classes I can now bring. After all, I have direction.
“You keep using the word direction. So, what is the direction you are talking about?”
How very astute of you to catch that. I am speaking of all the directions. Well, the main ones, anyway, because there will always be nuances in any form of coaching, especially intuitive coaching! North, South, West, and East. Those directions. Sometimes we make life too complicated, don’t we? It was there all along and just needed to be released.
To put it briefly, the North is your navigation. It is your soul. It is the connection to the eternal you that has the knowledge, the joy of being, and curiosity. The South is your human self. It is solid; it is sensual; it is resiliency. The West is your wiring, from whence you’ve come (your past) and uniqueness. The East is elevation; it is execution; it is action!
We travel in all of these directions naturally but imagine if there was the intention with it, and you could ascertain what was needed in any given situation. You understood where your power was coming from? Isn’t that exciting? I know there is no manual to life, but this could be close!
“That is exciting, but I’m unclear on how to use them.”
Well, don’t worry about that because I have information coming to clear all of this up, but in the meantime, let's grab our compasses and explore the North, South, West, and East together!
In the North, we find the power of intention and clarity. Picture your soul voice as your compass, guiding you toward your true north. You can chart a course that aligns with your authentic self by getting to know your soul and understanding your values. Learn to nourish the relationship, and joy expands.
Moving to the South, we encounter the solidness of our physical selves. This is where we ground ourselves and appreciate the fantastic vessel we have been gifted with - our bodies. We cultivate a sense of surety by nurturing our bodies with good nutrition, movement, and connecting with the earth.
Let's journey to the West, where we uncover our wiring. We dive deep into understanding our strengths, weaknesses, and values in the West. This self-awareness helps us clear out old wiring patterns and build new, empowering ones. Developing better communication skills and embracing our true wiring can enhance our relationships and create a solid foundation for personal growth.
And then, we arrive at the East, the land of action and fulfillment. In the East, we learn to develop and implement a plan that leads us toward our desired outcomes. Setting achievable goals and taking small steps forward builds momentum and achieves a sense of purpose and self-fulfillment. And many happy dances.
Now that you have a taste of each direction's wisdom, I invite you to join us on this transformative journey.
Remember, your journey is unique and beautiful. Embrace the power of the four directions, trust your inner compass, and let it guide you to a life filled with joy, fulfillment, and success.
With love and gratitude,
Vicki
