That One Question
(in formats for individuals, couples, small and large groups)
Who Am I?
The question Who Am I ?, is in itself an ancient meditation technique, used by the Indian master Ramana Maharshi. Here, this question is used as a koan to explore the human state. Contemplation on such a verbal formulation, or koan, can trigger very powerful experiences in those who practice meditation
A koan is not to be answered immediately, rather to be contemplated upon, opening up a space in the mind, where there is an unbounded curiosity . It can work like a beacon, a point of reference, to which we keep returning, as we keep exploring the various aspects of who we are, in the direction of gaining a direct experience of where we feel we belong, of coming home to ourselves.
Individual Sessions
(available online by appointment)
Directing aliveness towards inner fulfilment, with techniques that heighten awareness of body, conditioned mind and emotions..
Freeing up the energy that gets waylaid or caught up in attitudes that echo the past and create recurring conflicts that result in emotional turmoil or dissatisfaction in life, behings with the introspection of our attitudes
These attitudes are carried in the posture as well as the conditioned mind. By reflecting and re-evaluating our concepts about ourselves we can arrive at at level of understanding and acceptance of the way in which we truly are.
Trusting in the life force to get us to that sense of having more breathing space is vital to creating a clear vision for the future.
We cannot know where we are going to, until we know where we are coming from, in terms of our upbringing. To bring ourselves into the present, we benefit from releasing the echoes of the past.
Feedback
“I contacted Anam Smith in February 2021 for a coaching consultation.
I was in a shift of perspectives in my life and needed support for going back to where I have lived for a long time to establish a future business there.
I appreciated already much the first approach of being deeply seen as an individual with my very own way of being and bringing my vision into reality.
Anam was in very clear and empathic observation and accompany of my whole process over 1 and 1/2 years.
In the process 'obstacles' in the form of emotional personal topics turned up which showed me that there were fields which needed much attention first before going on and maybe even in new directions.
Anam was constantly aware and very attentive of my inner processes and gave me many intuitive tools to stay with what was important for me in the moment.
His patience and tremedously precious capacity of attentive listening initiated very often personal insights and developments I never saw on my own. His very close and personal being with me in my process guided me in staying tuned with my intention and vision.
As I had some crisis moments of doubts and despair during the process Anam was very present and meticulous in staying with the energy as he knows that in these moments important impulses are happening without interfering in a way it should be by theory.
That feeling of being very much accepted and not judged are for me one of the very outstanding qualities Anam establishes in his coaching.
The coaching tools Anam used were never technical but completely personal and sensitive tailored for me. As I need also the meditative and artistic approach getting my personal potential to prosper I felt very much supported by Anam in all aspects.
Besides the highly professional coaching aspects Anam provides his talent to look much deeper into a person's being and personality to reveal one's strength and talents.
His deeply human therapeutical, meditative and empathic way of being with me as a client is for me very exceptional in the coaching scene. His profound and deep understanding of the human nature through is own long experience adds to his very outstanding kind of coaching.
I myself gathered strength, resilience and confidence over a period of confusion and sometimes emotional distress where Anam led me through with great sensitivity.
I managed to move on especially with following my heart's wish to work on board a ship again as a Cruise Director as the first requirement to earn money to move back and to follow my vision there!”
