I did a fair bit of life coaching for people before AYP. I used achievable goal setting, visualisation, value elicit action/ change work and over coming negative beliefs. It takes a couple of days to set it up and is completed by using time line therapy to install the goal in the clients time frame. It usually includes a session to get rid of negative emotions and some positive stuff around getting physical life tidied up.
Anyone who wants a session to try this out I'm happy to work with. It is face to face.
Does it work ? The short answer is that it does. The long answer is that there is no proof that it does and of course it might have happened anyway.
Part of the work is for the client to accept a degree of flexibility in manifesting the goal . Accepting that it might not happen on the precise date or in the precise way visualised. Sometimes its really around giving confidence that something can be achieved and that pushes the person towards making it come true through their own effort and actions. Indeed , accepting that doing something towards the manifestation is a pre-requisite.
Say you want a sports car or a million pounds. Well, you might want to go through the coaching to get the motivation to get these things. However, they are unlikely to drop through the door and are much more likely to come from getting a better job, starting a succesful business etc.
Personally, filling your life with stuff is pointless. It isn't he answer to anything and doesn't make you happier. I apply that to God as well as sports cars. Material and spiritual manifestations are separated only by the physical. At least the spiritual manifestation leads in a direction away from the gross material, but reliance on a spiritual manifestation can become a block to further progress.
