What if I told you that the you that is the Real You, is more than just the name on your social security card, more than the degrees you’ve earned; more than the failures or successes you may have experienced? What if I told you the Real You is way more than any faults you tend to see in yourself, and way more than the strengths you take pride in; that the Real You is immeasurable in its greatness and beyond the location of your brain, or body and that the Real You is awaiting to be recognized and called into greater development by the part of yourself that you most relate to?
Would you be interested in exploring that part of You that lives beyond the veil of matter? Or would you find such an exploration a waste of time compared to the secular pursuits that consume the physical senses with layers of stress, worry and angst, in the struggle to move ahead in your present reality? Whether you are curious about the potentiality, inherent in getting to know the REAL YOU, or not, the fact remains that until we open up to that part of ourselves, life will always feel a little lack luster; a little like something is missing; and sometimes a good deal of purposelessness and hopelessness coupled with stress, can dominate our consciousness. Most of the time, clients who come to see me, have some measure of this dilemma going on; a hint that they are destined for something better than what they have already experienced, mixed with a faint recognition that the conventional road map for happiness isn’t going to deliver everything they were taught to believe it promises. When a person begins to wake up to this notion, that much of what they have believed to be who they were is merely a shadow of who they truly are, and they begin to sit in stillness and explore the unseen parts of themselves ready to be discovered, this is when they open to greater degrees of joy, happiness, fulfillment and connection.If you are not too afraid of the exploration of the Real You beyond the veil of matter you are allowing your Self to be in alignment with your true purpose. So, fearlessness is required for this journey.When you are convinced that you can achieve, attain, and go beyond what you have been trained to believe is possible for you, you are charting your own course in courageousness. Courage is necessary for this journey.When you realize that what you think you know is not always so, this is the space of real power and transformation, where humility is valued more than pride is useful. Humility increases our receptivity and our ability to receive. Humility is a must for access to the secrets of Life from this perspective.Believe it or not all of us are thirsty and aching to feel more of our Real Selves, instead of experiencing our daily hum-drum existence of daily affairs. It’s a shared journey, really. However solitary it may feel or appear to be, we are all in some way, shape or form being constantly challenged to keep a balance of honoring the seen and unseen aspects of ourselves. When we step onto this journey we will look for like-minded people and sometimes feel our soul mates are no where to be found. But even that is a program and not real. How can one embark and continue on a path that is neither material, academic, or formal? It’s all about intention. It’s all about the degree of thirst, receptivity and openness we cultivate within ourselves. Of course, the old adage, “when the student is ready, the teacher appears”, definitely applies. No where has this been more apparent to me than in my own life, both in finding teachers that turned me “on to my real self”, but also in the many dynamic ways my clients and students find me.Let go of the notion that you’ll find this in conventional sources and lean into the magic that leads you to your next surprising step. Pray; chant; sing; read, be in constant inner attention to your curiosity and the natural beat of the Universe will be called forth from within you, leading the way. It’s an organic process, and one that bestows richer degrees of enjoyment as you become familiar with what it feels like for the universe to support you. You’ll build a pattern of feeling the Universe leading you more and more in a rhythm of divine order, that you could never truly exactly calculate for. This is the magic we crave and feel fulfilled by, but it’s a process and sometimes comes in spurts as we learn to let go; let go of stress, worry, angst; of self-will, anger, jealousy, and resentment. But every layer we release, there is sweetness waiting for us.My greatest joy is helping others to taste this sweetness within themselves and in their lives through my intuitive life coaching practice and trainings. It’s also an honor for me to have Paradise Found be a place I call home for the gathering of people there who are jointly thirsty for greater evolvement and self-discovery. You are bound to find your journey a little bit more lit up with appetizing morsels of food for the heart and soul when you let your gait carry you our way. May your heart be full of cheer and your load light as you keep on your path of self-discovery and may we each have the pleasure of exchanging wisdom and our own personal stories when our paths do cross!All good things to you,Lani Reagan
