Can I Still Do My Own Self-Inquiry While Using OTTO?
Coaching often deepens personal inquiry, and using OTTO doesn’t change that—it may even enhance it. Just as OTTO serves as an inquiry companion for clients, it can also support your own exploration, offering unexpected angles and fresh questions.
How OTTO Can Support Your Own Inquiry
- It removes the need to generate questions – Instead of thinking your way into inquiry, you can let OTTO introduce prompts that take you in new directions.
- It helps bypass mental habits – OTTO’s inquiries are designed to move beyond familiar thought patterns, which can be useful even for experienced inquirers.
- It allows you to engage as a participant, not just a coach – You’re not just facilitating others’ exploration; you can also be immersed in the process.
Balancing OTTO with Personal Inquiry
- Stay open to surprise – If OTTO’s inquiries challenge your perspective, sit with them as you would in any self-inquiry practice.
- Engage with it beyond sessions – Using OTTO outside of coaching can keep your own inquiry fresh and dynamic.
- Trust direct experience over concepts – As with any tool, the real value isn’t in OTTO itself but in where the questions lead.
Rather than being just a tool for coaching others, OTTO can serve as an ally in your own unfolding—offering a space where inquiry remains alive, both for you and for those you guide.
