Albert, thank you for your patience, kindness and most of all allowing me to see
the strength of the commitment you engage with in this work.
As a mindfulness-based approach
is central to the way I wish to work, I am inspired by this combination with coaching.
Both coaching and mindfulness continue to surprise me by their potential to support a
creative and regenerative capacity inherent, yet often left dormant within all of us.
This is truly powerful opportunity for personal and collaborative growth.
I appreciate how much skill it takes to be subtle and when appropriate to be challenging. Your experience
helped to provide an open space that allowed me to disengage from past confusion to remerge
and reorient my vision afresh naturally.
The personal discoveries and experiences fostered
by this course do seem sustainable and uncontrived as this was developed by consistent
work to coming back and look deeply from one’s own unique view of the world.
Whilst the course did provide a clear structure this did not crowd or compromise my creativity.
The work in a group combined with some one on one coaching support was an optimal combination that
supported my learning, confidence and integration within the course.
I found the pace appropriate, as the sessions were content rich yet there was enough time to relax and
discuss and engage with deeper meaning and implications relevant to the field. This space
allowed for personal alignment, enjoyment and integration.
I am also grateful for openness and supportive environment that was sustained by our group
that assisted my learning by providing inspiration, feedback and an opportunity for further reflection.
I wish you and your team a successful future in this field, as I believe this work can truly benefit
many both professionally and personally.
Thanks again for your support!
Voice of a former ACFT participant
Awareness is not the same as thought. It lies beyond thinking, although it makes no use of
thinking, honouring its value and its power. Awareness is more like a vessel which can hold
and contain our thinking, helping us to see and know our thought as thought rather than
getting caught up in them as reality.
Jon Kabat-Zinn
The term "Awareness" means consciousness devoid of ignorance and dualistic fixation.
It is the state of knowingness or wakefulness. It means to be
"cognizant, conscious, awake, alert, watchful, and vigilant", adjectives that mean
being mindful or heedful of something. Awareness implies knowledge gained through
one’s perceptions, and the attitudes of others. Ignorance and obliviousness
are the opposites of awareness. To be awake is to be fully conscious of something
that you are doing.
Henry David Thoreau
I think self awareness is probably the most important thing towards being a champion.

AwarenessCoaching
Foundation Training Course (ACFT)
Course Recognition certified by the Association for Coaching (AC)
AwarenessCoaching is part of London Meditation’s Coaching Programme.
An AwarenessArchitect (or AwarnessCoach) is someone who enables people to make their dream come true. If someone dreams of a special building, he goes to an architect who captures his vision.
The architect enables the builder to transform his vision into reality. He asks the right questions when designing the plan and describes to the builder the necessary dimensions.
Finally he guides the builder until the work is completed and the finished result is achieved... Do you want to become such a professional coach?
Then enrol now to our 3-month AwarenessCoaching Foundation Training (ACFT).
What is AwarenessCoaching?
Psychological competencies for coaching are fundamentally grounded in awareness – both self awareness and awareness of others.
The AwarenessCoaching Foundation Training Course (ACFT) is structured to provide a greenhouse for awareness, growth and change to happen by itself.
That way, change occurs sustainably because it is accepted by one’s ego, whereas any change caused from outside (second-hand knowledge or advice) gets rejected after a couple of weeks.
Research shows that only changes that come about by themselves can become an integral part of consciousness and therefore will last.
Mindfulness means an open awareness, attention without tension, back to your senses, a relaxed kind of watchfulness, just seeing, not making an effort, not striving or even judging; an effortless awareness.
Our coaching approach – Mindfulness-based AwarenessCoaching (MBAC) – helps you understand what works and doesn’t work for you in developing towards your vision, achieving your desired goals...
This Mindful Coaching enables you to fully concentrate on what’s really important to you and cope better with the things that seem to get in your way. Your desired outcomes become more achievable through this greater clarity and awareness.
The unique composition from...
... learning how to apply our special coaching model V.GROWTH:
Vision – Goals – Reality – Options & Obstacles – Way – Task Force
– Happy Hour,
... knowledge about the psychological backgrounds, the underlying neuro-science and the implications of cognitive behaviour modification (CBM),
... applying of coaching tools such as PESTLE, SWOT, SWAN and SMART, 360 degree and other assessment instruments, as well techniques from Gestalt Work, NLP and asking the right questions in order to discover the hidden solution – an approach we call mindful investigation,
... insights gained by looking inside (using non-religious active and mindful meditative techniques) for the emotional and body oriented aspects to re-encounter with your true authenticity (you know – Authenticity is sexy!)
... supervised practice and having fun – because being "life positive" means live consciously a life of success and satisfaction (self-actualization)!
How will AwarenessCoaching be imparted?
There will be...
...lectures, group work and plenum discussions on the 3-day intensive training weekend, the two full study intensive days (on Saturdays) and the 3-day colloquium weekend at the end of the training (min. 68 hours of class room tuition in total).
...as well reading of recommended supporting literature, practising with the newly taught coaching tools and techniques during the weeks at home with yourself (self-coaching), friends, colleagues (peer-coaching), writing reports about the practise experience and get feed-back from your trainer (mentoring) using email exchanges and telephone coaching between the monthly study intensive days.
That way you will learn and practice your growing ability to coach (enable) and integrate a developing coaching culture into your day-to-day-practice.
