It is possible to practice and experience peace of mind through all of life's circumstances…

Nobody has a perfect life that is untouched by trauma, stress, grief, loss, or confusion at some point. Additionally, there are circumstances around us all the time that are out of our control, where we have to make choices regarding our response to these situations. We all are wired to be emotional beings within our spiritual existence. However, it is easy to lose touch with these aspects of our lives when we do not tend to our own inner growth.

Practices developed through ancient wisdom have been identified as being able to provide relief from pain and suffering, reduce stress and anxiety, and increase focus and inner peace, and the good news is that these practices can be used today. At Integral Path Coaching, we include the following practices in our coaching sessions:

• Meditation

• Shinrin yoku

• Sound therapy (drum circles, singing bowls, chanting)

• Tapping

• Healing ceremonies

Meditations can not only calm and restore a troubled mind, but can also assist in rewiring neural pathways in our brains so that we actually heal old patterns of thinking and behavior, and start to gain new perspectives on all aspects of life. There are several types of meditation to practice. Allow our coaches to help you through guided meditation, or teach you new forms of meditation, such as mantra chanting, mindfulness meditation, tai chi, and yoga. 

Shinrin yoku is Japanese for "forest bathing," and has been introduced to the west as a type of nature therapy that is serving to relieve symptoms of stress caused by our increasingly complex urban lives. This therapy encompasses walks or viewings through a forest or natural setting that have no particular aim but to be enveloped by the sensations one experiences in that place. A leisurely paced shinrin yoku session may take a couple of hours, with only a very short distance traversed along the path. Guided shinrin yoku sessions are available as part of our workshop series.
