Welcoming the Light

As Diwali approaches, homes are swept clean, lamps polished, and windows opened to welcome the divine. It’s a festival of light — but also of clearing.

In coaching conversations, there is a similar discipline: before insight happens, we make space. We're often carrying too much — plans, noise, old patterns — and somewhere in an unhurried pause, something begins to crack. And (as has often been said) it's the crack that lets in the light.

However, light alone doesn’t change much; it simply shows what’s there. The work is in noticing.

How can we make best use of the light to notice what's already there?

What do we need to clear to all let the light do its work?

A key can be found in the right conversation that welcomes the light which fosters insight into what matters to you.
