I want to start today's newsletter with a big fat THANK YOU. Thank you for opening this email and taking the time to read through my meandering words. Thank you for walking alongside me as I have faltered and fumbled over the many years of this growth journey, and thank you for the space to continue growing as I get more and more aligned with who I am and what I am called to bring.
This week's video is about a topic really close to my heart: The Myth of the Lone Wolf.
When I hit my rock bottom of burnout and then depression, it was the Wolf Pack that caught me and nursed me back to health.
I had been living under the mistaken belief that if I couldn't do it alone there was something wrong with me...so I kept pushing and striving until it all came tumbling down.
What I have learned in the past decade is that I get to choose my Wolf Pack.
Even so, old habits die hard.
We were at this social gathering a couple weeks ago and I was surrounded by people who I deeply care about.
We were outside around a fire, and I was wearing the wrong shoes and not enough layers.
The old voice of the Lone Wolf started whispering to me about how different I am, telling me that I don't really fit here, that I wasn't prepared, and that I clearly had nothing in common with everyone else who all seemed to feel a sense of ease and camaraderie with each other in their sensible shoes and weather-appropriate-outer-wear.
As I sat with the initial discomfort and the familiar, raspy voice in my head, I realized I was putting old stories into a new moment.
I was replaying past scenarios rather than being present with the reality of the moment.
I paused, took a breath, and sat down.
I practiced a simple technique that I have been learning over the past several months which helped me to acknowledge my discomfort, calm my nervous system, and make room for insight and alignment.
I shifted my inner energy.
And within seconds, all the whispering fell away and I actually arrived.
The rest of the afternoon was filled with laughter and connection. To manage having the wrong shoes I just sat in the chair. To manage my coldness, my friends layered me up in blankets and hats and even their kids' coats, causing even more laughter and mayhem...and I was one of the last to leave.
This tool, developed by my good friend Monique Peck, has been a God-send for me.
It's so easy to learn and use, and provides a predictable pathway back to a state of ease and flow without much time or effort or prior experience with expanded states of consciousness.
When people first learn it, they sometimes think it's TOO easy - how can we have such a profound inner shift in such a short time?
But the more I practice it, the easier and easier it gets for me to notice when I am out of alignment and quickly return back to myself.
Our team at The Expansion Project has been working around the clock for months to be able to share this tool with the wide world, and we even had a couple of stops and starts along the way.
But we're ready now for the first of several big reveals that will be coming in the next many months.
There are currently three ways you can learn more about this tool, and I will share the first way today.
Introducing Consciousness 101.
We have developed a short, self-paced, online course for people to get a very high level framework for the tool, which includes 5 mini-modules and a guided experience.
We know from the research that people complete courses when they have at least a little bit of skin in the game, and in the spirit of exchange we wanted to offer you this eye-opening course if you are ready for your next encounter with the consciousness space.
We wanted to make this tool extremely accessible to all who are looking for it, so we have priced the course at next to nothing....only $10 CAD!
We invite you to sign up, go through the modules, and practice the tool. If it works for you, help us spread the word to those in your own circle that could use a little more ease and inner balance.
Let's debunk that voice that tells us we're alone in this, and start to rally around at the cutting edge of consciousness together.
Yours in A-New-Kind-Of-Wolf-Pack,
Dr. Saira
