[Someone who has] a restorative quality about them. Rather than taking energy from others, they’re so full of life that they give energy to others.

Anchored and centered, people who know their Secret Name are dialed into a different channel and marked by a quiet confidence that allows them to heal the world.

But what sets them apart?

And who gave them permission to dance while the rest of us remain frozen in time?

How do they know what part to play?

In reality, we’re the ones playing — they’re actually living. They know something the rest of us don’t.

They know who they are.

They’ve learned their Secret Name.

1. Have you ever felt like an imposter? … (when, where, why).

2. Although maybe a little vague (this is intentional), please answer this question, “How is your soul?”

3. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = poor / 10 = exceptional), how authentic are you? [What is] the time and place where it is most difficult for you to be real. Why is it difficult?

4. What things would have to change in order for you to be real in those places?

5. Have you ever received a blessing from someone? How did it make you feel? Have you ever given someone a blessing? How did they respond?
