Most High Performing LEADERS, High Performers, High Achievers, Heart Centred Professionals, Entrepreneurs, Creatives (not all) are asleep today! This is not surprising. Most of us have the preoccupations of our own daily lives. Basic needs to be fulfilled first. We have to eat. We have to pay rent/mortgage. We have job responsibilities. We have the responsibility of our businesses if we run a business. We have the worries regarding our loved ones. We have the worries in relation to our own selves. Then there are some of us who are financially comfortable and have savings. We are successful and see what is happening beyond our own families and our own communities and want to serve. We want to volunteer. We want to build a better world. That doesn’t mean we have our own worries. However we are too busy building that better world, we are still half asleep. Then there are those of us who just don’t have savings but are financially secure that we have built something that is truly wonderful, that brings communities together and we are all about service. We are not asleep. We are wide awake. We are not worried about ourselves. We stopped worrying a long time ago because we are part of a very NURTURING community and communities. However for the last 20 we have become increasingly worried about what is happening in the world. As we watch more spending more time online. As we watch liberties that we took for granted being slowly taken away. As we watch connections become more disconnected. As we watch human connection being replaced with connection to technology. As we watch what we built we are slowly being torn apart. As we watch the over reliance on technologies tearing the human soul. Our souls are intact. We still invest in the in person experience. However we wonder especially since the pandemic which caused so many to socially isolate, are our minds being controlled by what is technology that can make our lives easier and more convenient, to think a certain way and to feel a certain way?
I wake up with these thoughts in my head. This is for those who are not asleep. Are you awake?
Taniya Hussain qualified as a Social Worker in 1991 from Coventry University in England, UK. She has been working on the front lines in London UK, consistently holding space for individuals and families in chaos and crisis for three decades especially, children and young people on the margins of society. Taniya studied Psycho-dynamic counselling from 1991 to 1993 at Goldsmiths College in London. Taniya met Sheikha Halima Krausen in 1992 and has been studying Islam with her ever since especially Mystical Islam, Tassawuf (Sufism) and walks on the Chisti path. Taniya fuses Jungian Pyschology and Islamic Psychology and this fusion can best be understood if you read her book Dancing with Darkness which is available on Amazon. It became a Best Seller on Amazon in the UK, U.S and France in April 2025. The book tells the story of Tamara Alvi, a fictional charachter and is a psychological thriller and a story of healing. Taniya started her coaching and consulting business in January 2018 and she works mainly with High Achievers and High Performers and High Performing Leaders, offering reflective spaces since 2018 and what she refers to as THE REFLECTIVE SPACE. Taniya since starting her busines discovered that she is a powerful healer and was shocked that clients were relieved from pain even though they have been diagnosed with a chronic illness. Taniya is delighted to have discovered Paceology, which is the detailed study of PACE. She is the first paceologist. She noticed when working with high performers when you slow down in one area of your life, this causes you to speed up in another area and vice cersa thus leading to increased levels of productivity, creativity, clarity and energy. She brands herself as the Muslim Alchemist because she really is The Muslim Alchemist as she guides you to transfom the base, in other words the shit that you have experienced into GOLD whether that is love of yourself or God or another human being or a healthier body or a life where you feel at peace and calm and fulfilled or more energy or more money. You definintely will feel lighter, more freer and more clearer even if you book one consultation with her or several sessions.
Taniya has a very holistic approach when working with individuals and works with you on multiple layers, the emotional, the psychological, the social, the physical, the mental and the spriritual. She uses stories from the Quran and the Bible when working with clients on a one to one basis or in group workshops as well as breathwork, body scanning, cognitive behavioural therapy, neuro linguistic programming, motivational interviewing. systems theory, neuro science. She is trained in multiple modalities as well as using her own Paceology and insists on offering her clients a trauma informed and trauma responsive service.
She is constantly integrating her knowledge of the Quran and Bible with her vast social work experience and training. Taniya's extensive ability of applying psycho-dynamic theory to organisational settings, teams and groups as well as to individuals results in those who attend her sessions or workshops as feeling lighter and more energised. Taniya uses skillfully her understanding of the Shadow, that Jung constantly talked about and her Mystical Training. She also has integrated her passion for inter-faith dialogue and the archetypes that Jung often refers to, come alive in her one to one sessions and her group workshops thus resulting in individuals feeling more freer and fulfilled after they stop working with her. Taniya just does not provide clarity she WAKES you up to. Taniya has a great skill in being able to see the blind spots in others and does this in a non judgemental way and a way that you feel safe. She also "untangles energetic knots" (a term she uses for Shadow) in your body to promote healing from mental and physical disease. Clients usually are healed in a short amount of time because she pinpoints the memory, the event, the thought that first caused the disease. She also provides one to one sessios or training workshops to social work teams, school, secure and prison estate on youth justice, knife crime prevention as well asidentification and prevention of early onset of burnout.
Taniya has three sons, who were born in 1996, 2001 and 200 and lives in Surrey, England and when she is not coaching or writing songs, blogs and poems, she loves to spend time, travelling, walking, listening to music, watching films or playing cricket.
She speaks fluent English and Urdu and basic German and French and is learning Arabic and Hebrew.
I’m seeing a trend in the online space and offline space in social work, therapy circles amongst coaches etc. And I am VERY observant of trends of reading between the lines, spotting patterns in the transformation of #consciousness Having studied Jungian Psychology...
Heroes quote themselves according to Manny Wolfe the author of The Tao of The Unbreakable Man.So here is me quoting myself "Trauma is the Training Ground for Leadership"This is something I have said to myself, to my clients, to my friends and seen in my 50 plus years...
Eight ago exactly I was debating on Boxing Day 2018 whether to pay a $500 deposit which was going to be non refundable to an online coach. I hardly had any savings and I was going to sign up to a 12 month contract with this coach that called herself a Success coach....
