"There is a time to learn ( and I'd been in that mode forever ), there is a time to Unlearn ( a recent, one I am journeying through ), and a time to Integrate things"

As a young adult, I found myself drawn to the Metaphysical side of things. In my dire quest to find answers about the " beyond', I took up several courses- Reiki, EfT, The Landmark Forum, Inner child healing through past life regression, etc. While healing modalities were of special interest to me, there was a certain undeniable pull towards the Predictive Science of Vedic Astrology. To find pragmatic solutions and understanding of this science, I journeyed Through the study of Numerology. It was in 2020, that I realized that my brain was as though I could draw a parallel to a jigsaw puzzle whose pieces were all intact but upside down ;). I was flooded with content, an engine with a tank full but no road map.
 I have been called a rebel on several occasions, as I always stood out from the "norm". I may have judged myself in my yester years, but I found the courage to follow my path. Magic happens only when we bear the strength to keep moving through Obstacles, converting them into Opportunities. it may feel like we are pushing through a very hard labor, to Birth new perspectives and break free from preconceived notions, but in doing so and in the process of finding our soul-searching purpose, we find our one and only true companion - Our Authentic Self. 
 It was earlier on in the year when my spiritual practices found new depths and I was actively, single-mindedly trying to find a Direction. There is a time to learn ( and I'd been in that mode forever ), there is a time to Unlearn ( a recent, one I am journeying through ), and a time to Integrate things. This was the twist to my plot - Mindvalley!
 One evening, my husband and I were looking for some content to watch, and " Somehow", I came across Vishen's seminar on Lofty Questions. I immediately had to put it to the test, to see how my Conscious mind would react to it. Would it lash out rebuttals? or would it perhaps be more accepting ( It had outrightly denied the common manifestation techniques laid out by the Secret)? Something was happening that was able to shut down the Conscious mind and allow the Subconscious powerhouse to work. How did I know it was working? - Well! I was able to visualize easily. In that moment, there was an inner knowingness, that I was about to set foot on what I had been longing for. In one of my affirmations, put, partnering with Mindvalley and traveling with Vishen and the team, globally to create the impact, I must. 
 Does that come as a surprise that weeks later, I found out about the masterclass for the Certified Life Coach? Now it may be noted, that while the course has been available for several years, why is that my awareness and focus shifted only then? :) Because, the Universe works perfectly, even if we can't see it just yet. This is the exact principle of Manifesting what we desire and the law of Resonance?!
 So, where was the option to not register for the course ?!
 I have always been a frontbencher in class and often classified as Socrates's ardent disciple ( learning via questioning ). However, to my surprise, I didn't want to " not observe " and learn or unlearn this time. There were times when I could not curtail my excitement when certain relatable concepts were being discussed. I got my closure when we were taught about concepts such as "culture escape ". it was like I fell in love with myself and my journey as all over again. I have always struggled to silence my mind, via meditation, the 6 phase mediation was the perfect answer to my question. With every module that our Coaches went over - there came this perfect clarity and it was as though, I now see those pieces come closer to that mammoth puzzle. While the content and flow of the classes were perfectly aligned, my figures jumped s in wanting to pay Gratitude to my Coaches - coach Dorian and my fellow students. Irrespective of how our day or week has been, for a coach to uplift and crowd of 100's is by no means a minuscule talent. There has to be a certain innate flair to wanting to compassionately and yet in a detached way, work with so many of us. I often, observed Coach Dorian, Coach Jason, and Ajit seamlessly powerful through our Egoistic minds that showed up from time to time, our minds that had been previously discouraged from following this path. But this, story would be incomplete if I didn't mention how grateful I am and will always be to my coaches and my peers who created a safe, loving space and taught me one of the biggest virtues - the power of Vulnerability!
 We all, have taken from it, exactly what was meant to, Exactly what takes us one step to the bigger purpose, and somewhere for all of us, we are less anxious, being taught the very importance of taking baby steps each day, and how our Purpose is not someplace we need to reach but somehow we need to evolve into slowly each day, recognizing and valuing not just of that destination, but of that Journey
