This post has been a long time coming – not just the post, but the actions behind it. I have long touted that one of my number one – if not my number one – value is Authenticity/Integrity. To me this means knowing who you are and being able to step into who you are and own it. When you do, all your actions and words match and are in alignment with that persona. What you see is what you get.

For several years now, I have tiptoed around the aspect of my business that I truly love and is a big part of me and who I am. I was worried about offending people (maybe?) and definitely I was worried that people wouldn’t like me anymore. OR they would think I had “fallen off the deep end” so to speak. Amazingly, (or not) this aspect of my business is also what my customers respond to with the most excitement. What is it, you ask? It is astrology.

I love it! I love the stories behind it, I love the stars and planets in the sky, I love the beautiful combination of science, math, psychology, philosophy and art that is astrology. I love to see it in action. It works! (doesn’t matter if you believe in it or not)

And the idea I had several years ago to combine astrology and life coaching can no longer be hidden. It just makes too much sense to me and to the clients I’ve used this with. With normal astrologers, you get your annual reading and don’t see or speak to them again until the following year or if something traumatic happens in your life. Life coaching provides this added element of helping people along the way. Astrology can provide the potential of your life – your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, life purpose, and more. It is all laid out there in the blueprint of your chart. What you choose to do with this potential is up to you because we are all given free will by the Divine. This is where the coaching comes in to help people take this potential and develop it in the most positive, effective and efficient manner. Why not take into account the “weather forecast” provided by astrology to help you determine when to make certain changes in your life? I see this as a beautiful marriage between two incredibly powerful disciplines. And there is no one else out there combining them in this way.

A year ago this coming week, I left my lucrative career in the corporate world to finally live the life I felt was truly mine. For years I felt I had been living two lives. I had one life in which I put on the persona of corporate consultant, getting up each morning and being the person I was expected to be by my clients and employers. And then outside of that world I was living my “real life” as a life coach, astrologer, student of spiritual paths, etc. Last year I finally reached a breaking point in which I could no longer live two lives. I needed to jump ship from the life that wasn’t “mine” and live the one that was. So, when I quit my job, I fully anticipated that I would be flung head-long into my new life. Only, it didn’t really happen like that. It was more a process – rather than jumping from one path to the other, I began to veer from one path to the other. It was a slow and arduous process and one in which I had to step out of my comfort zone daily to show a little bit more of who I really was to the world. Astrology was one of those things I kept leaving in my back pocket and only pulling out when I felt someone could “handle it”. This process truly felt as though I was giving birth! When I described it to a gay friend of mine, he said, “Of course, you’re coming out!” Yes! That makes so much sense!

No more! This way of coaching is too powerful not to share with the world. So, this blog will now become more of a personal blog covering all kinds of issues and interests from my point of view. My business is now: www.CoachingWithTheStars.com and I invite you to check it out. There’s not much there now, but it will be filling up fast.

I will also be offering a monthly conference call on what is going on in the heavens and how it is affecting us here on earth. If you are on my email list you will receive updates to this call and get the call-in information. If not, sign up here to receive updates and information on these calls:

You will be able to listen to the recording for 24 hours after the call and then you can purchase it for $5.55. The “Blissful Living” newsletter will begin to change over to a new format supporting this focus as well.

Be sure and “Like” me on Facebook as well: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/pages/Coaching-With-The-Stars/162169020509260

So, I have decided that this is the focus that my business needs to take – it is the only way I can live in integrity with who I am and what I believe, and truly practice what I preach which is that when you are doing what you uniquely came here to do and be, then you are providing a service to the world. The world is a better place for it. So, thanks for being a part of my community and I look forward to continuing my journey with your support and love!

Hello, dear friends – I can’t believe it’s been a month since I last posted here – but, what a month it’s been! However, I am making a commitment to post at least three times a week from now on. So, now let me tell you what’s been happening!

Since I last chatted with you, I have restructured my website due to a Mastermind meeting I attended. I have been part of a Mastermind group to help me move my business forward quickly. What transpired out of that meeting (aside from a new haircut and color – checkout the Facebook pics!) is that I am now adding Astrological readings to my services that I provide. I have come up with several packages which include coaching, energy healing and astrology. Check them out here: http://www.theblissfulsoul.com/products-services/

You can see that I have named the Astrology reading, “Soular Blueprint” because I am specifically looking for the Blue print of your purpose here. This tool is really great for setting your direction in life and for making you aware of any “bumps in the road” so to speak. With your Soular blueprint your are able to be aware of what’s coming for you in the near future. It isn’t so much fatalistic – think of it as a weather report in which you are being told the conditions for certain things to happen – what you do with that information is still based on your free will.

I am also doing more energy healing – I have studied with many teachers including Echo Bodine, Carol Lowell, Dr. Eric Pear (The Reconnection/Reconnective Healing), Deborah King (21st Century Medicine), among others. I can do distance healing or you can see me in person in my office at the Spectrum Center in Houston. I am also looking for a location to do these healing sessions in the Austin area. If you know of a place, please let me know! I beleive this is a great way to clear any blockages you have to move forward and live your purpose.

My new tagline is “Transform Your Life Through Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science”. Basically I feel that these modalities, Astrology (Ancient Wisdom) and Modern Science (Energy or Vibrational Healing) really go well together to help people transform QUICKLY! Why is this? Because everything is energy! We are just now beginning to understand why this works – but, it has something to do with the fact that everything is energy and has a vibration to it. The new quantum physicists are learning more and more about this phenomena everyday. We are all connected, we are all one – we are all a part of this energy field and that is why the movement of the planets is able to correspond to things that are going on on this Earth plane and this movement is even connected to us at a cellular level (hence, the energy healing) and so on and so on! Really fascinating stuff – I don’t claim to be a scientist and so can’t explain well how it works, but I know that it does.

On a spiritual level, I attended a Sufi school in Austin and finally met my spiritual teacher, Sidi Mohammad Al-Jamal of Jerusalem – something I had been waiting over a year to do. What a holy man. It was wonderful to be in the presence of someone who so fully embodies the idea of “Let Go and Let God.” He lives in a total state of trust in the Divine, which is something I teach, but I am not to the level he is!! I also received a Sufi name from him that weekend. It is Mahabba, the Deep Love which is the foundation of all that is. This is something I will spend much time learning about and growing into!

I have also been teaching my Ritual Class at various venues and making plans to teach an 8 – week teleseminar on Finding Your Life Purpose using various techniques to connect with Source. This will begin in November, so I hope you can join me then!

In the meantime, please contact me if you would like to check out the astrology, energy healing or one of the coaching packages that uses both techniques. Also, please forward my website to anyone who you feel would be interested in these offerings!

Until then,

Peace adn Deep Love,

Patricia (Mahabba)
