Finding the Teacher That’s Right for You Pt 2

In Part 1, we took a look at a few points to consider in any new teacher and/or teaching.

Not everyone is an expert or a reliable source of information. Social Media is filled with options so how do you know truth from hype? Our first three suggestions are:

✔️  Ask them how they got through their own tough times.

✔️  Are they willing to share and be vulnerable with you? 

✔️  Find out what called them to be a teacher.

Now its time to dig a little deeper and discover what your values are to see if there’s a match between what matters to you and what matters to someone you’re considering as a teacher.

There are many focuses you can choose as your values. Do you know what your values are or are you curious to find out?

It’s important to pay attention to your Intuition and your own innate knowing of what’s right for you. You may experience an increase in energy or smile and feel excited when you connect with your values.

When I heard a Practitioner say “We believe in Service, Prayer and Play” I was in! I had never heard of a spiritual group honoring the power of play.  Play was a key word for me because it had been missing in my life.

✔️ Be Curious! 

Ask questions. Interview the people connected to what you’re learning. Take a class, attend a service, join a Zoom, read a blog 😉

What kind of vibe do you get? Now that you have a few words that give you the feeling of YES, you know what to look for.

Here’s a quick tip. Pay attention to how you feel after an interaction.

• Do you have more energy? 

• Feel ready to get started?

• Are you smiling or feel lighter? 

Congratulations. It’s probably a good match for you. If you feel less energy, tense, tired, then this is a sign that it's probably not a match.
