Come Home to Yourself

Product Information

Finally, after an episode of her screaming, purple with rage in response to the way I had handled a project, I realized it was time to take a deeper look at myself. My mantras from the past decade tell a short story about my journey home: Choose a full, awakened life. She spent fifteen years as a nun in Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastic community and is now a lay dharma teacher in both the Zen and Vipassana traditions, with a focus on racial, climate, and social justice.

Her profound spiritual awakening is detailed in her eBook, An Awakened Life- A Journey of Transformation. However, within days I was assigned to work with a young woman who could be charming one minute and explosive the next. This will be a soulful journey to rediscover yourself and align with your heart, your truth, your beliefs, your worth, your values and who you truly are. The past and future are not the place where we can come home to ourselves and resource ourselves with the elements we need to move through our difficulties.But the real me – underneath all my learned coping patterns, how I tried to feel loved and get my needs met.

For TLC straight to your inbox + life-affirming words I don't share anywhere else, just say the word. In her second collection of published writing, Déjà Rae explores the highs and lows of letting go of past relationships and embracing loneliness as a means to discover oneself. x 30-minute video deep dive sessions into the following topics: self-worth, self-belief, shadow work, self-sabotage, boundaries and purpose. Throughout her work, she takes the reader on a journey through seasons of truth, pain, and abundance, showing that each subsequent season requires its predecessor.Things like stress and tension accumulate in our bodies and minds, and over time, if we don’t tend to them, they can lead to physical or psychological illness. It’s not that I feel qualified for a task this big and important or particularly skilled or knowledgeable about how to truly make an impact, only that I myself have felt desperately weary, battered, hungry, and in need of a resting place. Members learn to befriend themselves and deepen self-trust, and show up fully to their messy and beautiful lives with freedom, health, and joy. By doing so, Déjá Rae shows that the love we are all looking for has always been inside of us, patiently waiting for us to come home.

In Be Here Now, spiritual teacher and author Ram Das observes, “we’re all just walking each other home. Instead, what we must do is wake up to what we are repressing, own what we are “putting out there,” and re-claim our inherent gifts, skills, and talents. In addition, when we begin taking ownership of the shadow, we must also understand that this work is not about “becoming someone else,”like the notion of an “improved” version of who we think we are. What I love about Arielle’s writing is that she takes readers on this journey step by step, filled with wisdom and grace. Then it becomes a personal journey of self-reflection—one that should be looked upon with awe, curiosity, and great love.

I was also walking on the feet of someone who was right then doing walking meditation and enjoying the present moment.
