You can try all you want to fix a problem by trying to fix the symptoms, but as long as you don’t fix the cause it will be an endless battle.

On the most physical level we have our bones, flesh, blood, our body.

On a more subtle level there is the energetic body; our electric signals through our nervous system, a constant flow, and our breath..

On an even more subtle level, there’s the mind, thoughts, creations of emotions. Our mental body.

We have our knowledge body, our intellect, discrimination and will.

And on an even more subtler level is the observer. The observer within. The witness of all the lower levels of activity. Our bliss body. Pure consciousness, or higher Self.

What happens when our systems or ‘bodies’ are out of balance?

The subtle is the foundation for the gross.

If we try to change something on the gross level and not the finer, subtler levels we can face blockages and resistance.

Everything that is gross is made up of smaller parts.

You may have an ache in your neck, a certain muscle tension, you try to stretch it all the time, it may help a little, but maybe the problem keeps coming back. But on a more subtle level, what may be happening? The brain is sending the wrong signals to that muscle, it’s constantly saying it has to tense and tighten, and this can be why you get certain muscle tension.

On an even more subtle level than this, maybe a certain thought, which is triggered by a certain emotion. Maybe a stress thought about the future creates this muce tension, and you try to work on the gross level to fix it.

By going to the most subtle level, we can often fix the problem.

Our body, mind and nervous system all reflect each other’s state.

To see the mind as not just in your head but in your whole body. The brain has got all it’s roots, its tentacles and tubes (nadis) flowing from it. Through the spine and through the nervous system. Through every corner of your body. So if there’s some tension or stress in the mind, it will send it somewhere into the body.

Everything is connected.

Your emotional state and mind reflect back into your interactions with people.

Maybe there’s something outside of yourself. Maybe you’re bumping into people that you’re continuously having struggles with. You try to fix it by trying to be nice, or maybe you people please. But at source level, at the fine level there is a certain stuck emotion, feeling anger about something that happened in the past, or about yourself, or a certain judgement.

Maybe you find it hard to avoid these people, or find yourself getting into the same mental patterns and same reactions.

Our state of mind is influenced by our subconscious mind.

Working from source level, at the subtlest level is all about learning to bring the awareness inwards. And as you work from the inside, our more subtler, finer layers influence the gross layers. This is where we can use will power, insight and wisdom to make changes within.

At the source there is pure consciousness and creative energy from which we can operate from.

If you’re curious how coaching can help you to tune in to your finer layers, creating real, lasting changes in your life, contact me at charlotte@charlottecrusecoaching.com to start your journey.

What my clients are saying

I began working with Charlotte at a time in my life when I felt at my lowest. A relationship breakdown, change in family dynamics and career had all left me feeling broken. With Charlottes help I was able to learn how to love myself again, discover techniques for coping with life’s trials and tribulations and begin to manifest the future I wanted. I can honestly say that my world feels very different now. I am living as my authentic self. I am able to put up boundaries enabling me to live a calm lifestyle that feels happy and free. I can not thank Charlotte enough for her support over the past year and for helping me see what life and relationships should really feel like.

'After a lifetime of masking, coaching with Charlotte has given me the confidence to be myself. This in turn has put me back in touch with who I truly am and what I want to do with my life. Before I was looking for material gain and external validation, but as my journey continues, I’ve reconnected with what my heart really wants.
Something unexplainable and intangible continues to grow within me. That’s all thanks to Charlotte’s guidance. This once, meek, scared to take up space girl, has flourished into a confident woman who shouts in the streets, joins local community groups and stands up for what’s right. Charlotte helped me find the voice I lost so long ago as a child, and I will be forever grateful (my MP however, will never forgive her…)
Thank you, Charlotte for being not only a great coach, but also an amazing friend throughout.’

“My 6 months journey with Charlotte was truly transformational. Working with plant medicine, Charlotte and I investigated some of my deepest relational traumas and unconscious patterns. I felt accepted, listened to and supported without judgment. I was able to become more connected to Life and more aligned to my true purpose. I’m forever grateful for this experience.”

My sessions with Charlotte have been great for keeping me grounded and on track, giving me a nudge in the right direction that I very much needed. It’s been amazing having someone reflect and hold space for me. Some realisations have clicked and they are now allowing room for more growth. Thank you :)

Thank you so much for everything! You truly helped me tap in to points in my mind I needed to examine, especially my fixations on certain thing in my life. You taught me to really slow down and watch the thoughts and patterns before reacting and my gosh my jumpy mind needed to hear that! I will take a lot from our sessions with such comfort knowing I have the strength to move forward with my life! So much gratitude and love to you! Really needed your wise words and calm presence over these weeks. Thank You

After having a bad experience with a previous coach, I thought my coaching days were done and dusted. Having known Charlotte professionally for a good few years, I decided to give it another shot and work with Charlotte on a 1-1 basis. I knew I held so much potential and she was the person to help uncover exactly what I needed in order to show up differently in the world.

Our first session was a shocking experience in the most magnificent way. The lens through which I saw the world completely changed from there on. I knew I was in very good hands.

Charlotte's knowledge and wisdom has helped me endlessly apply principles in life that has resulted in real transformation. Things that once seemed impossible are now my reality. My confidence has grown exponentially, I no longer fear change and I am open to receiving what is needed to create lasting results. I am very grateful for all you have shown me, charlotte.

If you are looking for a very knowledgeable coach with a natural gift and life experience to match, look no further.

I have not long finished Charlotte's Present Parent coaching program and I can honestly say that it has been transformative! I knew she was the right coach for me as soon as we had our first call. She has beautifully guided me through each module, allowing me the space to discover what it is I really wanted to connect with and move towards. She has made such a huge difference on how I parent both myself and my children. I have seen a positive ripple effect with my children and my partner! Don't get me wrong, the kids are still kids, but the way I'm able to manage every day life is now with flow and so much more balance. So much so, that my partner has signed up to Charlotte's next program!

Charlotte's coaching, guidance and mentoring has been invaluable over the last 6 months, I cannot thank her enough for her knowledge and wisdom which has opened me up and helped me to access my own powers. I've learnt how to look within for the answers, how to use manifestation as part of my practice and apply my learnings to achieve some big dreams. I made some huge internal shifts which resulted in me getting my dream job! Truly grateful, this wouldn't have been possible without you Charlotte... thank you so much xx

Art and Film Director
I began coaching with Charlotte when I had a reached a point of despair, trying to juggle being a parent and being someone who cared about their job. I found the juggle overwhelming and had started to have panic attacks. My work with Charlotte put a stop to these for the majority of the time, I still get them every so often but the journey has been a literal eye opener. I can now recognise all the signs that I am going to have one or better still, the things I am doing in my life that might lead to one. The answers weren’t through (as I thought they might be and the reason I'd avoided this in the past) a clear cut, change in my job but instead a grounding and improvement in awareness. A change of routines and a shared plan around what small changes I could make to help myself. These small changes then made way for bigger changes and have altered the way I approach many things with my children and at work. It was all within me though, Charlotte just gave me the keys and now my whole family are benefitting.

'My experience of coaching with Charlotte has been eye-opening. She is great at guiding you to real questions rather than staying at the surface. She really helped me to see what emotions were driving me and how to let them go to be more present and aware of the wisdom within'.
