Solve All Your Problems with Zen Counseling

Zen Counseling is a simple and highly effective method of counseling based on the principles
of Zen Buddhism.

It can help you to find a solution to any problem be it personal, professional, relationship,
money, health, or spiritual. It works for people of all ages, all genders, and all countries
because it is based on very simple principles.

THE CORE PRINCIPLE

Zen is a branch of Buddhism which traces its roots to Japan, China, and India. Zen is known for
its masters using non-conventional ways to bring about direct self-realization in their
students. In Zen, it is said that each person is already a Buddha. The only effort is to realize it.
Zen Counseling adopts the same principle in its approach to counseling.

THE APPROACH

Zen Counseling uses a combination of listening and questioning techniques as the main tool
to help you find a solution to the problem. At no point does the Zen Counselor give any sort
of his/her own advice or opinion to help arrive at a solution. This makes Zen Counseling
different from other forms of counseling and a truly non-judgmental and compassionate
experience.

WHY BECOME A ZEN COUNSELOR?

If you are truly concerned about others and want to help them to solve their problems, then
you would have realized that just giving good advice does not work too well. If you are
satisfied to just give advice and move on, then you may not need to do Zen Counseling.
However, if you wish your client to find his/her own solution, accept and act on that solution
without the least hesitation and not become dependent on the counselor for any advice,
however well intended, then Zen Counseling might be right for you. It is the easiest, simplest
and effective tool for counseling that you can ever learn.

WHO SHOULD BECOME A ZEN COUNSELOR?

If you are in any of the following fields or profession, then adding Zen Counseling skills to
your repertoire will add great value to your results – counsellors, coaches, mentors, healers,
trainers, consultants, HR executives, senior managers, leaders, healthcare workers, doctors,
psychologists, psychiatrists, parents, and teachers. There is no pre-requisite of any
educational or professional background to learn Zen Counseling. It can be learnt by anyone
and can be used to solve problems in any domain be it career, finance, health, money,
relationship, or spirituality.

HOW TO BECOME A ZEN COUNSELOR?

You can become a Zen Counselor by attending a Zen Counseling training. The trainer cum
facilitator is the founder of Zen Counseling – Kenichi Ishimaru.

BENEFITS OF BECOMING A ZEN COUNSELOR
