It's Time to Come Home

It’s Time to Come Home

Many of our friends and family are already preparing for visits to family for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Is it really time to go home again? Where is home, exactly?

“Home is where the heart is.” Are you going to where your heart leads you, or are you going to a commitment that brings up feelings of guilt and resentment? For most of us, it’s a combination of both.

I haven’t taken a proper vacation in almost two years. I’ve taken weekend car trips, but nothing like a trip to the beach for a week where beautiful people apply sunscreen and bring towels, where a massage beachside is calling my name. I definitely need this kind of vacation this year, as opposed to a family commitment that really doesn’t fall under the definition of vacation, at least, for me.

I love most of my family. Don’t get me wrong. Spending time with nieces and nephews, sisters, and brother-in-laws actually turns out to be good. But it’s not a vacation.

Going home truly means that we should check into our own hearts to see where to visit. If home is a week at a yoga retreat or a spa, then that’s where you should go. Trust me, no one in your family feels better when you do something out of guilt.

This year, tell your family that you need to change plans from the normally scheduled holiday retreat. Tell whoever it is in charge who seems to control your holiday spirit that you have a great excuse not to be there this year. You have made reservations for a week in Key West.

Then, let go of the family guilt and take that trip. Engulf yourself in the experience and let no one interfere with the joy you will get when you give yourself the necessary love and joy your body and mind deserve!

Below is information that I will be sharing for about a month, as not every person on my list reads the blog every day. If you have already read it, just skip over it. Thanks for understanding.

A Year to CLEAR Challenge:
(Please Know: You Can Join Us At Any Point in the Year Challenge.)

The masses search outward for things that qualify them as a person, but I always go inward for that which quantifies me for greatness. At twenty-five I preached on street corners in NYC as an in-the-closet Pentecostal minister. One day I heard a still small voice say, ‘God cannot be contained in a book or a law or even in a religion. Dig deeper, reach further to find me, and you will find your authentic Self.’”

A Year to CLEAR Challenge!

The acronym CLEAR stands for (Compassionate, Loving, Enthusiastic, And Relationship-Ready). The goal of this project is to engulf readers in a weekly study that will transform them by removing blocks, promote self-growth, and give them wings to fly freely into daily life. Each week, by going to BoSebastian.com and choosing the Year to CLEAR Challenge tab, a new challenge or thought to provoke conversation, growth, and group functionality.

My vision is to make Finding Authentic You the book to have in your Kindle or on your computer. The book is a comprehensive look at growth—spiritually, mentally, and physically.

As a yoga teacher and student of the Ayurvedic tradition, I bring to the table understanding of physical challenges, the ability to overcome mental problems with Life & Health Coaching, as well as hypnotherapy, and expertise in meditation and spirituality as a minister.

The combination of all three in one book with an interactive connection to like-minded readers, for one year, is what makes this Year to CLEAR Challenge a must-do for every spiritual seeker.

The One-Year Approach to Change

No one believes he or she can change overnight. But success in change comes from the metaphors of nature. Seasonally, life changes all around us in nature. Finding Authentic You offers a gradual change perspective, looking at the triune aspects of change as in yoga: Body, Mind and Spirit.

Accessing the ability to change and finding yourself actually pursuing change must be a daily search, which I call getting to the “observer mind.”

In this frontal cortex of the brain we find the anatomy of change and the power to counter every negative trigger of the human process. The workings of Hypnosis, NLP (Neuro-linguistic Programming) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) are all positive actions to help the mind and body flow to a positive space for change.

Every aspect of FINDING AUTHENTIC YOU fulfills this constant need for diffusing the negative past and dreaming of a fulfilling future.

Step 1: Recognize That Change is Inevitable
Step 2: Release from Resistance to Change
Step 3: Understanding Change and Allow Spirit to Define It
Step 4: A History Lesson—About You
Step 5: Look at Your Past with Compassion
Step 6: Making a Strong Commitment to Change
Step 7: Dream Your Fabulous Future
