“Learning how to spot and release our domesticated beliefs, and reclaiming who we really are in the process, is a hallmark of a Master of Self.” – Don Miguel Ruiz Jr.
So what is Self Mastery?
Self Mastery is about mastering all areas of your life and your being.
It’s about having your thoughts, words, and actions all aligned together. We can also add to that having your core beliefs and emotions aligned.
It’s about being the one in control of your life
instead of your life being controlled by your conditioned beliefs, habits, and loud noisy mind.
It’s about finding inner peace in a world of chaos.
It’s about staying in connection with your authentic self in a world that continuously tempts you to ignore and forget about it or pretends that it doesn’t even exist.
Here are some elements of Self Mastery:
- How much control and influence do you have over your emotions and how you feel?
- How able are you to calm and quiet your mind and shift its negative thoughts and beliefs?
- What is the level of love and peace in your relationships and how skilled are you at communicating clearly?
- Being able to change perspective, unhelpful habits, and behaviors at will.
- How much control do you have over your attention?
- Your ability to move about in the world with peace and being able to create and manifest what you want for yourself in life.
- Most importantly, How happy and satisfied are you right now?
The Master of self is one who reached a high level of mastery in all of these areas and more and that diligently practices mastering the key important areas of his or her life. There is no end to mastery, so thankfully we always get to grow and practice.
In my work with people, we aim towards Self Mastery in the areas of life they want to change. I want THEM to develop that mastery, I’m just the one guiding them along the way. Mastering yourself is mastering your life, and by doing that, you can live free and with a high level of happiness and awareness.
Through focusing on Self Mastery, you learn how to shift negative beliefs that are holding you back from flying.
You learn how to develop meaningful relationships and communicate effectively.
You learn how to move towards goals and enjoy the journey along the way without unnecessary interruption from old baggage and the inner critic in your head judging you every time you make a small mistake.
With Self Mastery, you release old emotions and create gratitude and love, so that you can walk on this earth feeling happy, powerful, confident, and at peace.
Tools and inspirations:
- The main framework I use is of the Self Mastery work developed by Gary Van Warmerdam, the creator of the Self Mastery Courses, my mentor, and former long-time student of Don Miguel Ruiz, author of “The Four agreements” and many other wonderful and insightful books.
- I also often use tools from the world of mindfulness meditation and Zen.
- There are many more frameworks I use such as evidence-based coaching and psychology, “the work” by Byron Katie, and Tibetan Buddhist psychology when it is appropriate.
I combine effortlessly merge and combine the best tools I know so that you can experience powerful changes in your life and have your negative beliefs and emotions change and fall away as you joyfully create a life that you love.
Most importantly, my main tool is you. Our work together is dynamic and no one tool can cut it. Our coaching is an in-the-moment creation of helping you create powerful changes and moving towards where you want to move. Shifting to a grander, more expansive new version of you.
Self Mastery is the framework and lens through which this all happens and as you develop Self Mastery in all areas of your life with my guidance and your genuine diligent practice, magic is going to happen everywhere you look.
