Welcome back! 

There are three essential pieces of information you need to keep in mind as we establish a foundation for your journey ahead.  

1. You’ll understand the concept of the Inner Guru. 

2. We'll discuss the stream of consciousness and what it means “to be” versus “thinking or doing.” 

3. We'll introduce the growth triangle, which includes three components necessary for real and lasting change.

Let’s get started!

Your Inner Guru

So, what is the Inner Guru? 

Think of it as a board of directors, where each component uniquely supports you. These parts include your body, mind, emotional body, higher self, spirit, the universe, God, source, or whatever you believe in. Other components like your inner child, ancestors, or guardian angels can also be added to your board. 

They all have information that will be useful in healing past trauma, reclaiming your health, overcoming struggles with finances or relationships, and finding your mission and purpose in life.

However, it's essential to discern which component is talking to you and which is giving you the right information. Your inner child may show you limiting beliefs, but it's not the best to make the final decision. 

On the other hand, your mind may have great logic, but it can also be influenced by limiting programming or disconnected from your heart space.

Ultimately, you get to choose which component on your board gets the final say. Learning to make the board an integral part of your everyday life helps you manage your emotions and stresses and make decisions confidently. It's about creating a beautiful life, being at peace, and having clarity, regardless of what comes your way.

Being vs. Thinking and Doing

The second foundational piece is understanding the stream of consciousness. 

Being fully present in the moment is the "being" part, while "thinking" is where you're gathering information, and "doing" is when you're taking action. The being space is where you get your best answers, which are most connected to the truth and in alignment with your flow.

Learning what it means to be is essential in this journey. You'll hear me ask you often, "Are you in being, or are you in thinking or doing?" 

Knowing the clues, like using words like "thinking" or furrowing your brow when you concentrate, will help you determine if you're in the thinking mode.

The Growth Triangle

Lastly, the growth triangle includes three components necessary for real and lasting change,let's break it down. There are three things you need to create real change: information, inspiration, and implementation.

First, you gotta gather the facts and get clued up on what you're trying to change. That's the information stage.

Next up, inspiration. This is where you get jazzed up about the idea of making a difference. It's like a lightning bolt that hits you in the gut and makes you go "yeah, I can do this!" Inspiration can come from anywhere - a person, a book, a movie, or even just a random thought.

But the inspiration alone won't cut it, you gotta put in the work. That's the implementation stage. It's where you roll up your sleeves and get to work on making things happen. It ain't always easy, and it takes time and effort, but it's worth it.

And finally, having the right people around you can make all the difference. You need a support crew who's got your back and can give you a helping hand when you need it. That's why community is so important - it keeps you accountable and helps you stay on track.

So there you have it - information, inspiration, and implementation, with a side of community to make it happen.

Understanding and tapping into your Inner Guru, practicing being in the present moment, and utilizing the growth triangle can lead to real and lasting change in your life. The 8-week Inner Guru Academy offers a comprehensive program to guide you through this process and help you create a beautiful life no matter your circumstances.
