For some time I have been looking into Tom Stone (Great Life Technologies) Human Software Engineering and not really understanding fully how it works but still vitally interested in the concept.
Just over a month ago I took the opportunity to go to San Diego and participate in Core Dynamics Coach Training. What a fantastic experience.
For quite some time I have felt that the coaching experience was missing something. It took clients to a point in their lives but there always seemed to be something in the way. Clients were always looking for the answer to whatever problem they had and were looking at outside themselves. i.e. unhappy with work, bad relationships, stuck in a rut, not knowing how to move forward, etc, etc, you have heard or said them all.
Let me give you an analogy: You car isn’t working, it won’t go and you have no idea why? Where do you look when the car is a problem and won’t go. Do you look at the paintwork, the seats, the overall look of the car. Guess some of these things might be a problem like, change a tyre, put some petrol in to the tank. So that will fix it for a while. But when the car just will not go or sounds sluggish, or makes crazy noises. We all know these problems. We can look at the external part of the car and fix some of these things. When we take it to a mechanic, he asks all the questions, i.e. what does it sound like, what noises is it making, etc. etc. Where is the first place he looks, of course, in the engine. The main working part of the car! So he looks inside the car, doesn’t he?
So when clients come to coaching, they get asked all the normal questions, i.e. what’s not working, what noises are you making about your life? Not too unlike taking your car into the mechanic is it? So many times we look outside of ourselves to find the answers, when really they are inside us. In our habits, our conditioning, attitudes, reactions, etc. Where did they all come from? We live our lives and we have experiences. But, how we handle these experiences is what makes up the person we are today. Are they working? Not always. How often do we think I think my life needs to go in for a service? Not often.
Who would we be if we did put our lives in for a service and got rid of some of the conditioning of our previous experiences? Especially the ones that are not working for us.
As I was doing the Core Dynamics Coach Training I realised I had hit gold here. No longer do we need to be tied down to our addictions, habits and conditioning that we thought was working for us, Finally, here was something that worked.
During the training I had the experience of completing an incomplete emotion experience that had been bugging me for years and had influenced so much of my life. Within minutes of experiencing one of the 8 techniques that we were taught, it was out of my life. Finished. Kaput. In fact I couldn’t really remember what I had made all the fuss about! It truly is an amazing feeling to finally be free of something that had such an effect on me. How magnificent! Not a word I use alot but it truly is the only word that explains the feeling. Thank you to Tom and his work, I finally feel like I have come home....to myself that is. Look out for more posts concerning the Core Dynamics Venn Diagram and the eight awareness techniques.
