Breaking Through to the “More” of Life
Let’s start off with a little honesty:
You were never meant for ordinary.
Too often we settle for a life that falls short of who we really are and what our lives were meant for. We strive and struggle to get by, doing what we can to check the boxes of living a successful life that measures up…and yet we feel something missing.
Something big. Something important. Something that we can’t quite describe or put our finger on, but we know it’s there. And in our own way, we find ourselves longing for it - seeking the way to reach out and reconnect.
Have you experienced this?
You're far from alone. In fact, I will venture to say that all of us experience this at several times throughout our lives - a deep, earnest longing for something that we know exists but cannot articulate. A something that seems to call to us.
At first, we navigate our way around it, convincing ourselves that it's not important or that it’s not real. But as the years pass, this feeling returns again and again, each time becoming harder to ignore or rationalize away. It directly pokes at that feeling of what's missing - that longing that the mind cannot comprehend. But a longing that your heart and soul know well. An inexplicable longing, and pain, that connects to your very core.
There is no one English word that relates to this, but my dear friend and fellow logophile, Dr. E.J. Bradbury, introduced me to a Welsh word that can capture this feeling:
hiraeth (n.) - a longing or homesickness for a home one cannot return to or that never was
The deep desire to come back home to You.
To feel whole, united, and free within.
To love yourself unconditionally and express yourself fearlessly. To stop letting fear, doubt, guilt, shame, and “what others will think/say/do” undermine your passions, your desires, and your worth. To no longer feel like you need to cut off parts of yourself or hide them away in shadows in order to belong, to be loved, and to be accepted as normal and ordinary like everyone else...
And that's the key. You're not ordinary - far from it.
Which isn’t a judgment or criticism: it’s simply not how you were designed. And the more you strive to be and achieve what you were never meant for, the more suffering you experience. Like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole, expecting a rooster to lay eggs, or using the keys for one door to open one with a different lock - it doesn't work. Those may seem silly, but how often do you put yourself in those situations - comparing yourself to others, creating expectations in your mind, and then being mean and hurtful to yourself when the reality falls short and you fail?
When we think in this way, it easily leads to us feeling like we’re broken, we’re crazy, or that there’s something wrong with us. But you’re not broken and you’re not a failure. You were meant for something else. Something different. Something unique. Something beyond.
You were meant for More.
And so as we approach 2021, I encourage you to plant this seed: that you are meant for something more! And here are 3 ways that you can directly nurture and help this seed to grow:
Meditation. Break down the learned stress reflex and reprogram your mind and nervous system to strengthen your relaxation response. This helps you to center and opens the door to overcoming blocks and triggers, gaining greater emotional stability, and illuminating the deeper aspects of who you really are. Join the weekly group Max Meditation System™ via Zoom or schedule private 1-on-1 meditations with me.
Life Activation. Align with your life's purpose on a DNA level, restoring hope, wholeness, and direction in life. Imagine flipping a light switch to turn the lights on: That’s what the Life Activation does for you and your life’s purpose! This ancient modality from the lineage of King Salomon unlocks the More that you seek, giving you access to your full, extraordinary potential and setting your life on a new course aligned with fulfilling that. It did for me, and that is why I pay it forward!
Empower Thyself Initiation Class. Receive deeper teachings and tools to eliminate the negative ego and amplify the spiritual Light that flows through you into the physical world. For as we uproot negativity in our lives and clear the veils that cloud our vision, it makes way for more love, more truth, and more connection to ourselves, to others, and to God. The Empower Thyself Initiation Class builds the spiritual foundation for truly knowing thyself and living as the extraordinary being that you are so you can be the change that makes our World a better place for All!
Have questions about any of these or feeling curious to learn more?
Let me know via email and I'll be more than happy to respond!
It's time to go deeper than you've ever dared to go before. To break free from ordinary and know that you can be free to be extraordinary! To release attachment to what you know and believe so you can expand to know even more and be even more. To expand your faith so you can leap without having to know what's on the other side. To peel back the layers and tear down the walls so you can finally come back Home to You.
