The Eight Mindfulness-based Practices approach is based on over twenty years of research and spiritual practice. Dr Roger Walsh who is both a spiritual practitioner and scientist, discovered that each of the great spiritual traditions has both a common goal and seven common practices to reach that goal: recognising the sacred and divine that exist both within and around us. Taking a lead from his book Essential Spirituality Spirit Gym integrates the inclusive mindful principles of Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, and Taoism and engages coachees in spiritual exercises leading to a way of life in which kindness, love, joy, peace, vision, wisdom, and generosity become an ever-growing part of everything you do.
