You Can’t Hold Space if You Don’t Have Space: Energetic Hygiene for Coaches

You Can’t Hold Space if You Don’t Have Space: Energetic Hygiene for Coaches

Why Conscious Coaches and Therapists Must Lead With Energetic Clarity

There’s a depth to July’s energy that’s hard to ignore.
A call inward. A pull toward stillness.

This month carries the subtle frequency of reflection, restoration, and forgiveness—not just for others, but for yourself. And if you’re a coach or therapist, this is a reminder:

Your capacity to hold space for others is directly linked to the space you create for yourself.

🧠 Coaches, You Hold Stories That Aren’t Yours

Every session is sacred.
Every client brings energy into the room—spoken and unspoken.

But what happens after?

  • Do you find yourself drained?

  • Do you carry your clients’ stories into the evening?

  • Do you give yourself time to reset between sessions?

You can't support others if your own energy is tangled, tired, or unclear.

🌊 July's Invitation: Restore Your Inner Waters

According to the Akara Numerology system, July’s energetic pattern draws us into the qualities of the number 7—associated with the water element, emotional depth, and the gift of silence.

It’s a quieter energy that supports:

  • Forgiveness (especially self-forgiveness)

  • Stillness before action

  • Listening before speaking

This is the kind of energy that reminds you to cleanse, reset, and restore before you extend your hand to others.

It’s a month to tend to your own field—your energy, your breath, your sacred space.

🛠 Practical Ways to Hold Energetic Space

Here are 6 simple but powerful ways to take care of your energy this month:

1. Breathe Between Clients

Take one conscious breath before opening your next session.
Just one.

It brings you back to the present, clears lingering energy, and gives you a moment to arrive fully.

2. Energetic Hygiene

If you meet clients in person:

  • Open windows between sessions

  • Use essential oils, bells, or sage

If online:

  • Light a candle

  • Take a walk around the room

  • Shift your posture or background

🌀 Intentional pauses create energetic clarity.

3. Protect Yourself From EMFs

Being surrounded by tech all day—laptops, routers, phones—adds invisible stress.

💡 That’s why I use the EMGuarde in my workspace. It’s a small but effective way to shield your energy field and keep your nervous system regulated.

4. Use Water as Medicine
Water heals — not just physically, but energetically.

  • Try a short cold shower

  • Add lemon or minerals to your water

  • Drink consciously between sessions

Let water carry what no longer needs to live in your field.

4. Stay Anchored in Sadhana
You cannot lead others if you’re untethered.
Practice every day — even for 11 minutes. It keeps you connected to your own essence.

5. Rest. Don’t Push.
Coaches are often wired to give.
But space is sacred. Your rest isn’t laziness — it’s a healing transmission.


6. Reflect on the 7 Steps to Happiness

From the teachings of Yogi Bhajan, these steps offer a daily check-in:

A guide for your life — and for the spaces you hold for others:

  1. Commitment – Show up fully for yourself and your clients

  2. Character – Build resilience through honest action

  3. Dignity – Stand tall in your values

  4. Divinity – Remember your spiritual essence

  5. Grace – Act with compassion and ease

  6. Power to Sacrifice – Let go of ego to serve purely

  7. Happiness – Not a mood, but a natural outcome of alignment

🌀 These steps aren’t linear. They’re a rhythm. Save them. Practice them. Live them. 

Which one speaks to you today?

Write it down. Live it. Let it be a compass for your practice.

✨ You’re Not Just a Coach—You’re an Energy Holder

This month isn’t about doing more.
It’s about holding less, but holding it with integrity.

Clean your field.
Breathe more often.
Give yourself permission to not absorb it all.

You’re a vessel. And vessels need space to be sacred.
