Come Home to Yourself

Product Information

This book is a catalyst for transformation, a guide to letting go, surrenduring to solitude, and discovering one's authenticity and purpose. In Be Here Now, spiritual teacher and author Ram Das observes, “we’re all just walking each other home. What we do not realize is that these aspects of who we are mustfind expression, and so we project them onto other people, organizations, or the world at large. This cadence has been around longer than I have been alive, and has resonated with troops of all generations.

Living a life of purpose is essential to well-being and is one of the most soulful and heart led ways to live. At its very core, the shadow is the collective name given to aspects of ourselves we are not taking ownership of because of fear. A key step that can help us begin to settle ourselves when we are profoundly unsettled is to come home, to ourselves, in this moment, whatever is happening. This is how and why the shadow includes both all that we determine we dislike about ourselves and all the wonderful creative potential we are blind to being gifted with.I want to shake off any remnants of oppression that cling to me before I step into the next season of my life. I can see why people would like this book so I wouldn’t necessarily dissuade anyone from reading it—it’s not inherently bad, it just didn’t work for me. It may also be hard to come home if we sense that unresolved pain has accumulated and we don’t want to face it. 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.

It aligned with my healing journey and my worldview - like I had a conversation with Deja about my experiences while she wrote this.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.

As your sense of care and love for this small symbol of your soul grows, notice how parts of yourself you had forgotten arise in your awareness now feeling safe enough to come back in. In doing so, she shows each of us how when we walk through our own process of “unfolding,” though it may be uncomfortable at times, there is light on the other side.Indulging in long hours of practices as a way of trying to fundamentally change who we are, is often a camouflage for lack of self-worth or even self-hatred.

I became my own best friend, decided to approve of myself – to like and love all of me – I found my voice and put down deep, strong roots of self-compassion. Here are 7 powerful truths to help midlife women (re)claim freedom, health and joy amid the messiness.Frustration, despair, irritation, disappointment, and depression all came up for air after being hidden underground for so long.

You’ll gain a sense of believing in, trusting and loving yourself and knowing who you are, what you want and what you deserve in life. The things we learn not to like, we disown—a part of our body that we perceive to be ugly; our desires, anger, or emotions that we were once chastised for. As much work as I had already done, it was only when my son died that I finally had no energy left for pretense or hiding.
