Coaching the Essence Through the Power of Love

This book is a practical manual born out of a desire to share with those interested how I became a Psychosynthesis Life Coach, putting together the various pieces of my life. A life that, from its beginnings, has been marked by an aptitude for transpersonal coaching: an essential orientation for living every day spiritually and bringing into action the higher potentials that are begging to come to light and be acted upon, especially when facing the most difficult challenges. The examples and tools you will find in this writing are the result of years of study and passionate work that I still do in the helping professions with a transpersonal approach centered on the realization of our Essence, our luminous, spiritual center- what Psychosynthesis, a science of the spirit founded at the beginning of the 20th century and forerunner of Positive Psychology terms the "Self". The major focus of this book is on Psychosynthesis applied to coaching. Enjoy it! Praise for "COACHING THE ESSENCE" Dorothy Firman, Ed.D., LMHC, PLC, BCC- "It is a rare gift to be invited into the inner world of this author, while also being guided through the deep, complex, and powerful work of being a Psychosynthesis Life Coach. The weaving of the two worlds- Cristina's life long personal journey, and the elaboration of being a PLC works magically. Cristina is an amazing teacher and coach and she has taken Psychosynthesis Life Coaching into new and deepened territory. This is a book that will most assuredly strengthen any coach's work, and it is an essential book for all Psychosynthesis coaches. Thank you Cris!" Dorothy is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Board Certified Coach, a pioneer in Psychosythesis Life Coaching, the founder of the Synthesis Center in Amherst, Massachusetts, a trainer of PLCs, and author of a number of books including (as editor), The Call of Self: Psychosynthesis Life Coaching. Dr. Patrick Williams, Ed.D., MCC, BCC- "Cristina Pelizzatti has written an opus in COACHING THE ESSENCE, in my opinion. I was first introduced to Psychosynthesis and the work of Assagioli in 1976 as I was completing my doctorate in Transpersonal Psychology. Pelizzatti, in this very comprehensive book, shares her personal journey, and the profound and deep understanding when Psychosynthesis came into her life. She shares those stories and her way of synthesizing the knowledge, theories and personal yearnings into a practical method and course of learning for those in the profession of coaching, counseling, or personal transformation. Read it slowly, digesting the content a few bites at a time...then come back and read it again. It will resonate to your body, brain and being, applied to your personal journey...which is the essence of Psychosynthesis."
