Old Beliefs, New Reality

by Dr. Saira

Dear Expansion Community,

Last weekend, I took an impromptu trip to Canmore, Alberta. It was the first time I drove through the Rocky Mountains by myself, and it was surprisingly pleasant.

For those who know me well, they know that I prefer to be the passenger rather than the driver, and up until last week, found driving to be a rather stressful affair.

And yet, rather quickly, something in me has changed.

This mundane yet monumental shift has got me thinking about the stories we tell ourselves about what's easy and what's hard, and how we can get stuck in a loop based on past experiences and encounters. 

For many years, I believed driving through the mountains was hard, and suddenly, I had an unexpected, unplanned experience that was quite the opposite.

For many years, I believed writing a book would take years, and yet my friend Monique just finished writing her first book within a few months. Yesterday, The Founding Four (Texas, Monique, Faizan, and I) went out for a celebration dinner to mark the completion of the book, excitedly anticipating tomorrow's release date!

For many years, I believed that the mental health professionals were right, and that certain clinical diagnoses meant a life sentence of bracing against the next wave of sorrow and numbness, and then suddenly, we birthed Advanced Consciousness Therapy, a new, comprehensive, cutting-edge modality that refuses to pander to the pathology model of mainstream Western health approaches where the client/patient is seen as broken and the care provider is seen at the expert with answers. (More about that in this week's video!)

For many years, I listened, obeyed, and followed along.

Until the day that I woke up to who I really am, and simply couldn't tow the line anymore.

Things are changing, and fast.

If you are interested in exploring the new wave of merging energy and psychology and a comprehensive, accessible way of framing human consciousness (that makes sense to us regular folks!), the first step is to get your copy of Monique's book, "The How". It is available TOMORROW, Saturday June 28 on Amazon, and we would love to have you purchase it tomorrow along with our team at The Expansion Project so we can have a huge reach on our first day!

 

As you read the book and begin to digest the ideas, you may be drawn to deepening in to our community where we have on-going touch-points and ways to practice the principles, especially The Presence Protocol. You can do this by following us on YouTube and Instagram (our handle is @expansionnow) and leave us a question on those platforms so we can tailor future weekly videos to address the things YOU really want to know about.

And please, keep asking us your questions. Keep challenging those old beliefs within you and around you that tell you you're broken and someone else can fix you. That's simply not the truth, and you know it.

Lots more happening in the weeks to come. Thank you for your support and encouragement as we take these brave and bold steps!

 

Yours in Carving a New Path,

Dr. Saira and The Expansion Project Team

Making Decisions from the Heart
What does it mean to make a choice? Yesterday morning, I got a text from a friend. He needed a listening ear, so I called him and we chatted quietly as he hid in an empty office at work. He is facing a conundrum and has to make a decision where either outcome will have real and lasting consequences for people he cares about. There is no clear path, and no decision-tree or pros ...
What Tiredness is Teaching Us
Dear Community, I'm friggin' pooped. First we were ramping up for our Practitioner Training in Salmon Arm, BC in April. Then the Women's Retreat near Kamloops, BC in early May. Then the big launch of Advanced Consciousness Therapy in Calgary, Alberta at the end of May. And early June was back to Salmon Arm for Living the Inspired Life, our immersive workshop that took our teach...
Carried By The River
Dear Expansion Community, It’s Dr. Saira here. (NOTE: In case you are new to the community, here's the back-story: Monique and Texas Peck (who are married), my husband Faizan Sabzaali, and I are the Founding Four at The Expansion Project.) Last week, Monique and I ended up in Calgary somewhere between a hotel ballroom and the Unified Field. Yup—a psychotherapist conference. Now...
