What really shapes your experience of life? It’s not your circumstances. What really shapes your experience of life? It’s not your circumstances.
It’s the invisible system of Mind, Consciousness, and Thought. Once you see it, everything shifts.
Lorna recently asked on the team chat: “Any chance of another newsletter article?” And I’d just been chatting to one of our delegates about AI (as you do) – he was rather impressed with how it could summarise complex topics. So, I thought I’d give it a whirl and typed in “Understanding 3 Principles Coaching”. Here’s what came up – with a few of my own thoughts along the way in italics…
What is 3 Principles Coaching?
3 Principles Coaching is a transformative approach to personal development and coaching, based on the work of Sydney Banks. It centres around understanding the fundamental forces that govern human experience: Mind, Consciousness, and Thought.
The Three Principles:
Mind: The intelligence and force behind life
Consciousness: Our ability to experience life
Thought: The fact that we experience life through our thinking
Well, I can’t argue with that!
These principles suggest that our emotions, behaviours and experiences are not caused by external circumstances, but by our internal thinking. When we understand how Mind, Consciousness, and Thought interact, we gain access to our innate well-being – and a far more fulfilling way of living.
It’s not just your thinking, mate – it’s about recognising how our whole perceptual system projects onto the world and shapes our reality. The more we see this, the more we reconnect with our own wisdom and potential. Bang on about tapping into our innate wellbeing and living more fulfilled lives.
Key Benefits of 3 Principles Coaching
Deeper Self-Awareness: Understand how your internal world creates your external experience.
Increased Resilience: Realise that thoughts are transient – they don’t define you or your reality.
Improved Relationships: When we see others’ experiences are shaped by their thoughts too, empathy and compassion naturally follow.
All true but again it is not individual thoughts that shape reality.
How 3 Principles Coaching Works
This isn’t a technique-driven model. You won’t be taught to manage or fix your thoughts. Instead, it’s about insight – seeing the nature of thought and how it shapes our moment-to-moment experience.
Coaches support clients to:
Gain clarity about how their internal world works
Experience peace, even in challenging times
Make empowered choices from a place of inner stability
True!
Applications
3 Principles Coaching can be applied in various contexts, including personal development, business coaching, and mental well-being. It’s particularly useful for entrepreneurs, business leaders, and individuals seeking transformation and growth.
Training and Certification
For those interested in becoming 3 Principles Coaches, accredited programs are available. These programs typically include:
Theory and principles: Studying the fundamentals of the 3 Principles
Practical application: Coaching practice and supervision
Certification: Accreditation from professional coaching bodies
And then it showed our web site, man I was chuffed!
By understanding and applying the 3 Principles, individuals can experience profound shifts in their personal and professional lives, leading to greater fulfilment and success.
This is exactly what delegates from our current programme are experiencing as they develop an embodied understanding.
