What the Best Mentors Do?

Image
I was recently invited to speak on, “What best mentors do?” to a group of mentors / facilitators from Argentina who had come for a training program at School of Social Entrepreneurship India.  The session was organized at the scenic Zorba The Buddha, which is an oasis in itself in the Delhi NCR region.

Interview with Meenu Mehrotra, Relationship Coach

Meenu Mehrotra is a Relationship Coach. Her coaching style is based on empowering souls to grow & deepen enriching relationships with self & others. She is based in Gurgaon, India.  Dr Amit Nagpal-How can a person improve his or her intuition? Meenu Mehrotra - Intuition is NOT a gift as perceived by most. It is an inner guidance system which all of us are blessed with but it has to be used to be made strong- just like any other muscle in the body. The best way to improve intuition is to start listening to your inner voice and act on it, even if it defies logic and reasoning. Intellect has no role here. It’s all about being still and listening to that small, feeble voice that guides you to act in a particular way all the time. Intuition is a whisper and to hear it, one has to go within and be in silence. Meditation is a great tool to be more intuitive. Being mindful is another powerful tool to strengthen one’s intuition. Just being aware of what’s going on inside and outside

  1) Tell us something about your holistic life coaching. Since 1992 I, Pauline Laumans, have my own practice and since 2002 John van Trijp participates. It is based on the principle of reading the energy in and around you. It’s the highest intuitive level a person can reach and we offer it to all others to learn this as well. This energy tells what it is you are facing right now? Why you face it? When it started? Whether it is from you or more linked to something else? What more is involved in it? What the impossibilities are. What the possibilities are. What the outcome might be. What is it you can achieve? Even sometimes where in the future you are able to achieve this next step in you life path. 2) Tell us something about your Living Alive books. What are the qualities of a Living Alive person? We have written so far four new books for which we got international endorsements from: Dick Bruna, Martin Gaus, Dr. Caron Goode, Frederic Collier, Yvonne Kroonenberg, Steve Rother, H
