I've become a spiritual person after surviving cancer. I meditate before I run a marathon as it helps me keep my stamina. I've just become a life coach.
Lately I quit my job and got into a monastery for spiritual growth. I live in Alaska and we don't have many life coaches here. I meditate and it gives me a sense of peace. I've never run a marathon.
I searched how many life coaches were in Alaska and found you truly were correct. There weren't many life coaches in your area.  Yeah, there's not much of anything in Alaska! That's why it's easy to meditate :)  How do you find information about meditation ? Do you there is a market for life/meditation coaches in Alaska ?  Bookstores mostly...and my brothers in the moastery that have a lifetime of experience. They are a huge help! Maybe I could get there and work as a meditation coach, most people didn't go in monastery. How much someone in Alaska would pay for a meditation coach ?  To be honest, I'm not sure what the going rate for a life/meditation coach is out here. It's certainly worth a try if it's something you're passionate about.  Yeah, I like meditation and I want to share this technique with others. No matter the pay. What do you do for a living ? Right now I don't work. I quit my job to go into the monastery a while ago and haven't found the need for a job as I get my basic neccessities taken care of here. So being a cancer survivor...wow! I'm SO happy for you! That's a scary thing to go through.  Yeah, even if the doctors told me it was a small cancer, I could not stop think about it. That is why I did learn about meditation in the first place. What event made you want to study meditation ? Cancer as well...a close family member was diagnosed in 2006. Thank God she has been in remission for about 14 years now, but the C word is scary, no matter what type or size.  It is something that you can't describe, I would not wish it to my worst enemy.  Absolutely...it was one of the worst times of my life. So what's your favorite marathon that youi've run?
