I sat, folded in a chair, looking at her only 2 feet away. She was pouring her heart out to me. She has been in spiritual coaching for months and making huge progress. She was actively allowing her uniqueness to lead and allowing herself to be the person whom she had always been before limiting thoughts were put on her.  At that moment, I felt like I was talking to myself. I was coaching myself. I was learning about myself. I was healing myself. 

The next client on my schedule was another coaching client. This time, I sat looking at him through zoom. We talked about the courage that he had as he was moving through life with the energy that felt the most true and deep. I swallowed hard and fought tears. Transformation is beautiful and personal and vulnerable. Again, I was talking to myself.

The next client was on zoom and much earlier in the process. We were identifying emotions and learning how to feel them fully rather than stuffing them down. What she was working on, on that particular day, rang deeply true for me also. I could feel myself in her.

I have said for years that working in a container is one of the most powerful things that we can ever do. We see ourselves in other people. Things that maybe we are too scared to face when looking at them inside of ourselves. That we can see progress where we have grown and healed. I had recently been working with a new truth for me. The truth was a deeper knowing of something that I had been working on for years, but the depth of it had rocked me back on my heels in all of the best ways. The separation that I feel between myself and others is only so that I can understand myself better, so that I can grow, so that I can heal. There actually is no separation between you and me, we are one. You are simply another expression of me and I am simply another expression of you, we are not separate. It is me, it is only me and it is you, it is only you. We are all just learning to allow ourselves to be the deepest expression of love.
