Abstract
The current article aims to offer a set of yogic practices that will enable the coach to transform oneself. The previous article in this series presented a yogic perspective to examine the nature of coaching conversations. The current article elaborates on the linkages between mastery over one’s inner process of psychosomatic arousal and its expression. This article brings out several practices to arrest negative tendencies and develop qualities like self-awareness, contextual intelligence, and deep listening. These qualities enable a coach to be very sensitive to their own subtle inner movements and become capable of multidimensional presence and nurture the inner genius. The present article examines the nature of conversations through the lens of Yoga, Indic theatre and dance. Further the article elucidates practices for awakening the higher chakras. Discussion is done in understanding the psyche using the rasa (feeling qualia) concept and in developing Sakhi (friend) and SAkshi (witness/meditative) bhAva (state of mind) by using the metaphors of dance and rasa. The article further offers a framework for viewing the reality looking through the lens of the self and the other. The article provides key insights and practices for the inner transformation of a coach to develop a multidimensional presence, and thereby enable a powerful transformation for the coachee.
