Book Description
If you were free to want what you truly want, without shame or judgement, what would that look like? And more importantly, what would that feel like? Many of us have been taught to distrust our desire. To question our growth, and tune out our deepest wants and needs in favor of "hustling" towards the finish line at any cost. But too often when we reach that finish line, we discover we don't want it any more, or that it was never our desire in the first place. What if you weren't in conflict with the energy of your own expansion? What if you were free to feel, to dream, to want deeply, every single day? As a coach and course creator, and a lifetime of being a Type A overachiever, Geeta Nadkarni has learned to own her vision and live it fully. By trusting her desires and opening up to receiving her deepest wants, she discovered new pathways and manifestations she'd never imagined. In this book, you'll discover practices and nuggets of truth that have the power to transform the way you desire, dream, and receive... all in less than 15 minutes a day. From Geeta's desk: Beloved Reader, Three years ago, I had this crazy vision on a beach in the Dominican. It was 5am and I had snuck out of our hotel room to meditate before the craziness of family vacay began for the day. For the record, it wasn't this idyllic Insta-worthy scene with the wind in my hair; it was hot, windless, and I was being devoured by mosquitos. But I sat there, entranced, because I saw something... In my vision, I saw this gorgeous retail space with seven wishing well fountains. Each well was carved copper and around the rim was the theme of the well written in hundreds of languages. One well was the "love" well, another received wishes for "healing," a third for "abundance" and so on. People came into our store and threw coins into the fountains and made their wishes. We, as a company, collected up that money and donated it to a nonprofit that represented the specific energy of the fountain. As I stood there in my vision, surveying what I had made possible, hearing the hypnotic "shhhh" of the water in the fountains, I felt this sense of expansion and purpose. It wasn't an emotion - more a sensation in my body. A feeling of rightness that's hard to describe. And every penny of the profits from this book - the money you threw into that well as you wished your wish - is going to Operation Underground Railroad. It's a nonprofit whose mission is to end human trafficking, and thus restore hope to the mostly women and children who are sold, abused, and exploited worldwide. I am living my vision today, three years after having physualized it, and it came to me in this unexpected form - a book instead of a retail space. This is what I most want to teach you - to receive what you truly want even if it shows up in a form you didn't know to wish for. To recognize what you receive as a stepping stone to your ultimate vision and to nourish yourself with the work so you have the staying power to go all the way. I acknowledge that the fullness of my vision - that retail space - has yet to manifest. And it took me three years to figure out a stepping stone version of the "become the funnel" facet of the vision. It is my hope that the book you currently hold will expand your understanding of what's available to you and give you simple, practical, usable tools to bring what you most deeply desire to life. Will you get this book (and the podcast and bonus resources we've created for you) into the hands of as many people as possible so we can save more lives via O.U.R. and expand more lives via this work? xoxo Geeta
