What is a Soul Coach or Guide?
Live Soulfully in Tune With Your True Calling
What Transformational Soul Coaching is (and what it is not).
The “not” is the easy part. It is not “standard" life coaching or business coaching. There are many fine coaches who use tried and true 90-day action plans and business motivational tools. And if you are building your day job or launching a new start-up, or trying to get caught up on your to-do list, then a standard life coach may be helpful to that end.
However, If you are questioning your true calling or purpose in life, then Soul coaching which is transformational in nature, may be most beneficial for discovering and rebuilding yourself from your very core of being. A Soul Transformational Coach, or Guide, helps guide you as you redefine your very essence of being in how you think and how you feel and then how you move forward with purpose and meaning in alignment with your life’s singular purpose.
Soul Transformation coaching helps you find your inner voice so you can heal from life’s disappointments from failed relationships, dead-end jobs, or traumatic experiences or from abuse, whether in the form of mental, emotional, verbal, sexual, physical, or even spiritual abuse. Repressed memories or trauma that has not been healed and emotionally and energetically released from the body cause energetic blockages (closed chakras) that sometimes lead to emotional distress which might include suicidal thoughts or even losing the will to live (please see a medical doctor or psychologist right away if this pertains to you and I think you will be pleased that you will find a genuinely concerned professional whom will be able to help you right away).
Unresolved emotional distress may also result in disease such as high blood pressure, heart disease, strokes, etc. And many career driven individuals with kids to raise or bills to pay ignore emotions and push through deadlines with fortitude and adrenaline. Ultimately, the conscious mind becomes unaware of the energy of unresolved emotions, yet they remain dormant in the body. Being aware of these outdated emotions and learning from them - taking so-called “bad” emotions and evolving so that you are able to look back (say one year from now or for some, even overnight!) and view them in a more powerful way as lessons or a nudge from above to move you to heal, and to learn, and to grow and finally, to make peace with your past, and move forward with a new mindset and a more enjoyable soulful way of life that is harmoniously in tune with your divine calling.
Soul Transformational coaching helps you get past the Earth Ego of the name someone else gave you, the social security number a bureaucrat gave you, and the credit score a corporate entity gave you and then, guess what? Perhaps you feel stuck in the “system" or in the “matrix" of someone else’s creation. Before you were born, God gave you a singular purpose for being here, again, in this lifetime. That purpose is still in your core, its hardwired into your very essence but sometimes the grind of keeping up smothers your true spiritual identity and then you may feel trapped.
Beneath the ego is where you get your self-esteem back and learn to open your heart and throat chakras and be more aware of your inner calling. Learn to listen to your true voice and tap into the divine energy from above and receive your true identity and divine purpose from your Creator. The coach or guide does not tell you what your purpose is but rather guides you beyond the ego construct so that you are able to find your intuitive inner-voice, the God-given spiritual compass that directs you towards your true North and keeps you aligned energetically, mentally, and emotionally in alignment with your true purpose.
Live life with Purpose and enjoy life’s many passions that further develop and reinforce your singular Purpose. Life gets easier and is more enjoyable when you find that inner-voice and purpose!
A soul transformation coach or guide won’t judge you or your book (s) nor try to “fix” you or tell you what you should do. That is your journey of self-knowledge and liberation from the Ego or from the preconceived notions and limiting beliefs as to who you “think" you are or say you are, based upon education, professional credentials or a job title.
That Ego of the “you” (insert your Earth name or nickname your Earth parents gave you and you have the Ego building inside you) that you “think" you are is different from the identity, with a heavenly purpose, that your Creator assigned to you before you were born.
Alas, the “old you” might need to be chipped away at or refined until you get back to being the unique special person with a Divine creator and a unique true purpose. Now may be the right time for you to embrace a Soul Transformation Quest, or journey, with the intent to embark upon a more spiritual path and help you to live life more in tune with who you were meant to be (and are still capable of becoming) by shedding self-limiting beliefs and letting go of old emotional cords that bind you mentally and emotionally to the extent that these out of date emotions from doubt, insecurities, regrets, or pain from trauma, may have limited your view and through self-doubt you may have not lived life as magnificently or as spiritually optimized as you are capable of - aligned in harmony with your Creator’s plan and Purpose that he has for you.
As to nondenominational aspects of Soul Salvation (not just soul transformation), which is available for every person regardless of religion (and no religion at all) it begins now, as after you die, when you awaken in the lower heavenlies, just above the Earthly realm, you’ll have the same level of consciousness and the same persona as you do right now. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. You pick up spiritully where you left off in the Earthly realm. You will sink or float based upon your own unresolved mental and emotional angst. Repressed emotions such as sadness, anger, regret, unrequited love, jealousy, or victimization and every other emotional cord that leads to a separation from you and your Creator will leave you in a type of Purgatory of your own creation.
These issues must be resolved by you and the beauty of it is that you have the chance right now, while still in this lovely Earthly Realm (God’s favorite planet and the envy of the celestial world) to transform and live again in alignment with your singular purpose given to you by your Creator - before you were born. Find it now and level up!
As your Creator also created emotions that you feel, He feels what you feel. He already knows of your suffering. He also knows your prior lives and your totality of being and wants to embrace you. The more anguish you feel, the more distance between you.
It is only after you resolve your Earthly fears, depression, woes and anxiety that you may float spiritually into the higher realms to be received. While tormenting yourself, this is where you find Karma if it escaped your time on Earth. It looks for you.
You have the opportunity right now to clear those painful experiences so that you may be mentally and emotionally healed and detoxed and purified. And you’ll get to experience life again from the vantage point and the perspective of the place of innocence.
Raise your vibrational frequency now and earn your place in Eternity through faith and optimism that comes from deep within you, embedded in you from before you were born. Maintain strength and search and discover your true essence and your true identity and Life’s calling that is embedded within your DNA, within every proton, neutron, and electron that connects your soul to the One Source Yahweh above.
About Me & FAQ's
Soul Transformation Coach | Spiritual Guide
Former attorney | Healer | Energy Work | Clairvoyant | Soul Coach & Spirit Guide
Hello! Call me River. I was born Shannon Amyx in Leesburg, Virginia, when the town population was less than 5,000 and the cost of a soda pop was .10 cents. The Vietnam War, Watergate and the Washington Redskins were the topics of discussion on the evening news. Springtime tulips and the Cherry Blossom Festival and 4th of July on the mall in Washington, D.C. made the Virginia DC-Metropolitan area seem like a small tight-knit community, though politics and the burgeoning Northern Virginia defense industry were soon to replace the small town vibe.
At some point in my early years, my parents changed my name to “Shane" without asking me, as I was only a small child. I was still a toddler - too young to be fully aware but I do have faint memories of siblings being confused about my “new” name. I never liked the new name (though I loved the Western movie about a reformed gunfighter seeking redemption by the same name based upon Jack Schaefer’s classic Western novel). I asked my parents to change it again as I did not like “it” - the nickname Shane that was to become my “name” but Dad persisted as “Shane” was his favorite movie when he was growing up in the 1950’s.
When introduced, I never cared for the sound of the gunfighter’s name, as I was no gunfighter. But it was not until I was over 50, and recovering from brain injuries, amnesia, and repressed memories of abuse, that I was able to reflect and look back, and I realized I was still using the nickname Shane - and that is not my real name! It took me 50 years to have this epiphany of sorts and to realize that over a half century later, I had the right to go by my birth name or a new nickname. And as River is synonymous with the Celtic Shannon, which means “old river” I find this name to be both closer to my real birth name and more in tune with my calling and energies spiraling upward in this time of Spiritual Ascension. And as the name Shane is attached to my prior life’s energy, and also from before crossing over in 2020 and being born again, it no longer suits my calling.
As a former U.S. Government attorney (perhaps ironically as an I.R.S. Estate & Gift Tax attorney a.k.a. “death tax”) and now mostly recovered from a TBI (traumatic brain injury & subsequntly TIA’s & strokes) I had to leave my career as an attorney and tech start-up enthusiast behind to focus solely on health and the mind-body-spirit connection. After a few years of recovering on my own, living in isolation as background noise, light, TV, music, reading & motion aggravated the neurological conditions, whereby peace, quiet, solitude, prayer, meditation and stargazing into the heavenlies was my sanctuary and path to wellness. After a few years of digital detox and solitude my health and cognitive ability recovered to the extent that I was able to complete a six-month course with Sedona Soul Adventures on transformative communication which helped me to recognize subconscious patterns or loops that can be self-limiting and how to convey this knowledge to others in a transformative nonintrusive and nonjudgmental way. Also, I found comfort and solace when I returned to my meditative, spiritual and physical side and embarked upon an internal energy work path by enrolling in an instructor training course in energy work and Tai Chi Qi Gong under the tutelage of Taoist Grandmaster Mantak Chia of Universal Healing Tao.
Both programs from Sedona Soul and Universal Healing Tao, have helped me to communicate in a higher vibrational frequency, with a more open heart and compassionate way of expressing myself which has helped me evolve, from my prior mentality and communication style as a tax attorney and tech start-up enthusiast. It is a different vocabulary and a higher vibrational frequency. My road to recovery following brain damage from a TBI, a coma, concussions, amnesia, several TIA’s & mini-strokes (during the mourning process of 6 family members in 4 years), and hydrocephaly, would not be complete without acknowledging their excellent programs. After four years of mostly solitude, I am mostly recovered yet the cognitive ability is not quite what it used to be, yet more than good enough to embrace the simple life and to appreciate life’s hidden blessings. I am thankful to those of you whom were helpful to me along the way. I also apologize to those of you whom I am unaware that I owe an apology to as a result of not knowing or being unaware from bouts of amnesia. My heart is open to you.
After a brief career in retail and airport commercial real estate property development at Reagan National Airport and Washington Dulles International Airport, (where I was a General Manager with Westfield Corporation) world travels brought me to the crossroads of some of the most amazing people from diverse cultures, religions, and customs. Exotic locations full of their own spiritual splendor that helped me to further refine my core beliefs were Korea, Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, India, Laos, Cambodia, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ghana, Brazil and others. My worldview changed while living in Africa for a few year where I “roughed it” and learned what life without electricity or running water was like. I don’t take a hot shower or a 24/7 convenience store for granted anymore. Yes, there’s much more to life than modern amenities.
Many elders taught me traditional ways and helped to strengthen my spiritual resolve. They were of all walks of life. Many were poor in finance but wealthy beyond measure in a spiritual way with an open heart, and a lighter uplifting energetic and sincere way of communicating. They were Grebo’s, Vai, Bassa, Kru, Mandingo, and numerous others of various tribal affiliations. My name was "carried into the bush" where I was granted some courtesy affiliation. All tribal elders and mentors professed unyielding faith in a higher power from the Almighty above and explained the Earthly limitations to this Westerner in a new authentic voice.
And one commonality that I took comfort in during my journeys, was the belief in One God or One Allah (honorific title for same God-Yahweh) the Common Source or the Totality of the Cosmos as revealed in the Torah, Bible, Quran, Book of Mormon, Bhagavad Gita (same God revealing himself in multiple ways) and also the same One Cosmic Source or "The Wu Chi" that Lao Tzu wrote of in the Tao Te Ching (Taoism) that directs us within and above towards the cosmos spiritually - or "the Way”.
These sacred books were inspired and revealed as a legacy and testament to bring us closer to the One Source, the Totality of All or the One Supreme God-Yahweh. Fortunately, while all aforementioned books are true and sacred, none of these books are mandatory when called upon into Judgment (I was Judged in November 2020 and was #144,000). We are in overtime! These sacred books are here to help you elevate your soul towards the light and to the power of the Source - the Supreme God Yahweh.
My old childhood Episcopal Priest, the late Robin Kendall, a Scotsman with a melodious warm heartfelt way of speaking, would have enjoyed the spiritual communion of gathering and expressing our love and gratitude for our One Common Creator regardless of race, religion, sex, caste, or creed. While raised in the Episcopal faith, I am not a member of any church or religion and I embrace those of you whom are and those of you whom are not, equally.
As to my experiences with crossing over, there is a “spiritual water” and it is your soul’s emergence through these cosmic waters above the firmament, akin to a water baptism, but it’s spiritually so, and it is not the same as a physical water baptism in the Earthly Realm, which is not mandatory. It is the true spiritual baptism and it is not a religion.
Additional teachers of mine I’d like to acknowledge are Grandmaster H.Y. Kwon of Korea, Master Kumron Vaitaynon of Thailand, Bart Vale of Miami, Florida, law professors Steve Plass, Siegfried Weisner, Tamara Lawson, Barbara Singer, John Makdisi, Judge Frank Shepherd (Retired Florida Third District Court of Appeal) Rory Seth Stein (General Counsel Miami-Dade Public Defender’s Office) and many others. As to business experience, I’d also like to acknowledge the tutelage and lessons learned from my days at Westfield Corporation from former E.V.P. Dimitri Vazelakis, Tim Lowe, and Steve Johnson (currently President of Host Marriott Services).
There were a few other notable persons I knew personally whom were impactful to me in my childhood: “Momo” Sam Giancana, U.S. Sen. Mark D. Hatfield, FDR’s personal friend, confidant and secretary Toinette Bachelder, Lillian Rodgers Parks (author of My 30 Years Backstairs at the White House), Rev. Robin Kendall, and Redskin’s great #7 Joe Theismann, as well as others whom I learned from or was inspired by in some way. Some were military men, or worked for the State Department, Secret Service, CIA, NSA or worked at the White House or for the US Congress. As a child, my mother worked for the House of Representatives, where I learned at a young age how to have the Library of Congress do research for my school assignments.
Now mostly recovered and well again, albeit to a “new normal”, my time is spent writing guided meditations for the coming member’s section and planning the production of the educational and fun podcast show and YouTube channel which are underway. My practice of Tai Chi is ongoing and certification may be years away, if at all. Alas, there is no bad Tai Chi and any Tai Chi is a very good thing ineed! I primarily focus on the mental and emotional wellness aspects of Tai Chi Qi Gong whether Inner Smile, Inner Alchemy or Microcosmic Orbit. There are many formulas and many styles, yet in its most simple state, it is about awareness of self mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually, to bring these energies together in unifying force.
The main objective for me is greater awareness of subtle energies and moving energy in unison through the body for greater cultivation and clearing energy blockages which may arise in the body from stress or traumatic abuse that cause energy to get blocked deep into the subconscious body - not just the subconscious mind. Freeing these subtle blockages and opening the heart chakras allows one to more deeply connect to the cosmos above and to transcend energetically and experience the power from the relationship above, from the the Divine above, or the Wu Chi as Lao Tzu described some 2,500 years ago.
Energy work and meditation allows one to be more aware of their emotional state, for greater clarity and feeling of the messages being carried by the energy of the emotion that you feel at that moment. As Ralph Smart once explained to me by phone, “emotion means energy in motion”. Emotions are energy messengers to teach us and to learn and grow from and to enjoy - not to hold onto, which makes it more difficult to experience new and enjoyable energy.
It was the totality of these life experiences that led me to starting Soul Transformation Society:
Soul Transformation Society is 501 C3 Charitable Organization. The Mission of Soul Transformation Society is to increase awareness through research and education and to provide transformational coaching services to assist those recovering from traumatic experiences or abuse, and to help guide them into a new healed life through nondenominational faith and training. All persons welcome regardless of religion (or no religion).
