FAQs

A short anecdote to explain.


Over 300 years ago, as a Burmese army invaded Siam (now called Thailand), in order to protect their heritage and national treasure of a 5 tonne solid gold Buddha effigy, the Siamese monks covered it in 12 inches of clay. The invaders destroyed everything including the people of the land, but ignored the clay effigy. In the mid 1950s, the giant clay statue was being relocated to another place via cranes. The engineering team didn’t understand why it was so heavy. While lifting it, one engineer saw a small crack, only to find a blinding golden glimmer shining through that little crack. They chiselled away and found a glorious golden Buddha hidden under the layers of clay.


So you see, we all have this enormous greatness within us. But we mask it with a false façade, old beliefs, past experiences and societal pressures. At Atmaanaan, we are there to find that little crack and uncover glorious gold within. It is our role and responsibility as your coach to find that glimmer of gold and let it manifest into a beautiful light. Just let the old junk – that is no longer useful – fall away so that we can shine our brightest.

Ananta, our Corporate Coaching program is a high impact process that empowers business leaders and executives to understand their challenges and use their own strengths to find solutions. Our program is practical and results oriented, and will provide support in the following ways:

• Serve as a trusted mentor who supports the executive in devising solutions to solve his or her own problems and ultimately achieving peak performance.
• Help the executive/ manager to manage stress, feel more self-confident, and develop effective leadership skills.
• Increase mental clarity, address and prevent chronic conditions, awaken deeper level of intuition and insight, and boost immune system.
• Hold the employee accountable for taking actions necessary to reach his or her own chosen goals.

This differs from case to case and depends on the individual needs of the client. IN some cases, a client would need just one powerful session with us to achieve a major transformation in their mindset. Some other clients would need to work consistently to achieve and sustain an evolving set of personal and professional goals. Every situation is unique.  

A typical coaching program lasts for 3 to 6 months, and is defined by a set of actionable goals and benchmarks for success. The frequency of sessions can vary from once a week to once a month. Session length is usually 1 hour, but can vary depending on the client’s wishes and needs. With the final vision to deliver visible and transformative results, our program offers flexibility so that each client is able to receive exactly what he or she needs as an individual. 

We keep coaching sessions completely confidential, unless the company policy requests otherwise. Your company may request certain general details to be provided (such as whether you are attending all the sessions and making good use of them). We do request for feedback on your progress from relevant people, but we do maintain strict confidentiality when we promise it. 

Some individuals pay for themselves, while some companies choose the program for their employees. 

A coach should be an experienced and qualified professional with whom you enjoy an ease of interaction. During the coaching process, one needs to be comfortable enough to open up to the coach to discuss personal and professional stressors. One must be open to receiving feedback and advice from the coach, and hence it is important to find someone you can trust. One should also be comfortable with the coach’s working model. Different coaches have different processes, so it’s best to do some research before you sign up. 

As the modern world is full of unnatural and unhealthy stresses which we both voluntarily and involuntarily inflict on our bodies, it is not surprising that we are becoming more and more at dis-ease as a race. Our programme guarantees to give you improved immunity, so you will not fall sick when the season changes. You will also gain improved clarity and heightened focus to help you achieve better results and improve performance immensely. Other benefits include high energy and alertness, ability to take better and quicker decisions, improved confidence, reduced levels of fear, stress or anxiety in challenging situations, emotional balance, and a sense of inter connectedness. With these skills, you can achieve any goals with greater ease.

Ananda program is for all, irrespective of the gender and age. At Atmaanaan, priority is given to children and so the prime evening hours are especially reserved for them.

In a world of so many possibilities and so many distractions, it is very important that a child gets exposed to the right things at an early age. We have unlimited access to information and the digital space has created distractions not just for children but even adults. It is therefore hard to control what they are, and will be consuming in terms of information. Society feeds the youth with beliefs that are not of any service to them. Children are being brainwashed to believe what society throws at them. “Study hard or you will fail”, “Money does not grow on trees” are all well-meaning but debilitating beliefs. 

The Ananda programme helps them, early on, to find a space of peace and inner connection within, in a simple, fun, easy and profound way. The teachings at Ananda come from experience, ancient philosophy and modern technologies; and once ingrained into the child, will always remain as life-long tools whenever they need to turn within for answers.
