The Mirror Room
My name is Asif, I have owned and operated a boudoir photography studio for the last eleven years where I have provided a transformational experience for hundreds of women from all walks of life. Through the art of boudoir photography, I have been able to assist my clients to experience a perspective shift on how they see themselves.
“To say that this perspective shift has been life-changing for some of my clients would be an understatement.”
However, as powerful as this experience has been, throughout this time I have also felt heartache. . . due to the fact that there was more work to be done for some of my clients to see just how beautiful and powerful they really are. The work required for them to recognize their own beauty, power, and greatness would take more than just a photography experience.
“Sometimes this journey would also require some space to heal.”
While it has been deeply satisfying and enriching for me to know that I have assisted so many of my clients in undergoing a perspective shift on how they choose to see themselves in the mirror, my heart longs to assist them in seeing just how beautiful and powerful they really are in life itself. I long for them to see and recognize their own infinite potential to do and be what may seem impossible from their current perspective.
“I desire to assist them in shifting their perspective so they can see the greatness that is within them at this very moment.”
The time is now!
Time for me to step out and reveal my greatness, my gifts and my talents. It’s taking our transformational experience a step further by identifying, digging out, cultivating and revealing your own unique greatness.
“The truth is, I have been assisting people in this manner for over 20 years now. ”
The biggest difference between now and then is that I used to think I needed someone else to provide me with the platform within which I could do so. I did not believe I was great "enough" on my own to do it on my own terms and on my own platform. This meant that I had to be aligned with the vision and beliefs of the organizations I operated within and I could encourage people to develop their potential to its peak as long as it served the dogma of that particular organization. Sometimes this meant that I had to instruct people to "fall in line" with views and beliefs that, I myself, was not fully aligned with at the time.
This really ate away at my core.
At that time I didn't know it was possible for me to break away and stand on my own two feet and march to the beat of my own drum.
It has taken eleven years of being on an entrepreneurial journey as a business owner for me to realize that I do not need anyone to make room for me, for my gifts and talents in order for my greatness to shine forth. I am the captain of my own ship and the only one keeping my light, my potential hidden is no one other than myself! I now understand and embrace the cliche "if it is to be, it is up to me." With that as the backdrop, it is time for me to follow my heart and take the next step on this journey.
For me, the next step is becoming what I call the Mirror Coach
Mirror coaching goes beyond that mirror to life itself.
I believe life offers us a mirror to reflect back to us who we have been in our beliefs, in our thinking, and speaking by way of what shows up in our conscious experience. This is a tough concept as many of us sometimes believe that life happens to us and not for us, by us, or through us.
We think that the key to the change we seek in our lives lies outside of us. We think we need to be given the opportunities and resources needed to create the life of our dreams, not realizing we already possess all that is needed to create such a life.
“My goal as the mirror coach is to reveal to you just how powerful you really are.”
Think of me as
A friend,
A stepping stone.
A guide on your pathway to self-discovery.
I create and hold a safe space where you can learn how wonderful you really are and learn how to love yourself. Loving yourself is important in your journey to bring about positive change in your life. If you don't like your reflection, you can do something about it, you can change it. However, hating or loathing your reflection will only yield more of the same negativity that you do not want showing up in your life. Of all the issues and troubles facing us, there seems to be only one thing that seems to heal almost every problem and that is to LOVE YOURSELF. Once you start to love yourself, your life seems to get better.
“I am a person who supports people. I help people take charge of their lives. I help them discover their own power and inner wisdom and strengths. ”
I help them get the blocks and the barriers out of the way so they can love themselves no matter what circumstances they happen to be going through. This doesn't stop problems from coming our way but it sure helps determine how we respond to them and that makes a tremendous difference.
I assist people based on the awareness that I can see the potential in them. I can see their greatness and draw it out of them. That potential doesn't have a particular shelf-life or an expiration date. It is a seed with all the life-generating power contained within itself. All it needs is the right environment and cultivation for it to bud and blossom into its fullness regardless of one's age or circumstance. Life doesn't produce some special people and some not so special people.
“Everyone has this potential, everyone is born with greatness within them. It is a matter of identifying it, shining the light on it, pulling it out and cultivating it.”
I consider myself an alarm clock that wakes people up to the potential and possibility within their own soul.
I consider myself a stepping stone on this pathway to discovering your self-discovery. I consider myself as a temporary guide to assist you in shedding the chains holding you back from stepping into the freedom and abundance you're meant to create and experience in your lifetime.
