He travels all over the world facilitating advanced classes, workshops and seminars on Access Consciousness\u00ae and a healing process called The Energetic Synthesis of Being. He has written multiple books including Being you Changing the World. In his unique approach, he offers tools that empower people to move beyond their current limitations and into the life they truly desire.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Is Now the Time?<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>by <a href=\"http:\/\/drdainheer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dr. Dain Heer<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Have you noticed that the way things used to be done just isn\u2019t working as well anymore?\u00a0 Do you KNOW that it\u2019s time for a change? In your life? And even more so in the world? What if now is the time? What if now&#8217;s the time to finally step into being everything you truly are? Let me ask you this: do you know that there&#8217;s something different about you? Do you sometimes wonder why other people are content to just continue living their lives without ever looking for something greater? What if you\u2019re here to do and be something different than the people around you? \u2028\u2028What if you&#8217;re here to awaken a different reality? What if now is the time to awaken the consciousness that you personally, and we collectively, came here to awaken?<\/p>\n<p>Let me present to you a different paradigm\u00a0 &#8211; not just something you dream of, and judge yourself for not creating \u2013 no, a paradigm to start creating the true change you\u2019ve KNOWN is possible your whole life!\u00a0 And as you are able to be something different in your life, does it make sense that you might actually inspire others to realize change is possible? <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/files\/2014\/04\/BeingYou_DainHeer_Cover-copy-2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-5449\" alt=\"BeingYou_DainHeer_Cover copy 2\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.beliefnet.com\/sites\/91\/2014\/04\/BeingYou_DainHeer_Cover-copy-2-228x300.jpeg\" width=\"283\" height=\"372\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Are you aware that that\u2019s really the only way change has ever actually occurred? By somebody being inspired by someone else and saying \u201cYes, I\u2019ll have that.\u201d Have you ever in your life tried to change someone else? How well does it work? Not at all, right? You get frustrated and they get frustrated\u2026<\/p>\n<p>From this other place of actually BEING the inspiration to change, you can be the one thing that will allow other people around and the world to know there is a different possibility.<br \/>\nWhat if THAT is what you\u2019re here to BE? Are you ready?<\/p>\n<p>1. <strong>First\u2014make a demand<\/strong>: As in, \u201c<em>Hey, this is going to change and something else is going to show up!<\/em>\u201d Have you ever noticed that when you\u2019re in relationship and you know it needs to change, but you\u2019re not willing to demand that it change, and finally when you get to the point where \u201c<em>enough knowing it needs to, this is going to change, I don\u2019t care if I die, I don\u2019t care if they die, it doesn\u2019t matter, I don\u2019t care if the world ends, this is changing now!<\/em>\u201d Remember how quickly it changes? That is a demand.<\/p>\n<p>2. <strong>Next\u2014ask a question<\/strong>: Every question you ask opens up a completely different possibility and a new potential. After making this demand, then ask, \u201cHey, what\u2019s it going to take for this to show up differently?\u201d All of a sudden this doorway opens up you never saw before.\u00a0 You couldn\u2019t see them until you made the demand and asked the question.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Letting go of your limitation<\/strong>: Now, please tell the Universe that you are ready and willing to let go of all your decisions, conclusions, computations, judgments and projections you have around whatever you are demanding to change! Right now! Those are the things standing in your way! And 99.9% of the time, these limitations are something you bought from someone else.\u00a0 Release them.\u00a0 Return them to sender.\u00a0 LET THEM GO! Bye bye! And now breathe.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Now\u2014CHOOSE (and ACT)!\u00a0<\/strong> Your choice determines the potentials that will occur. In other words, you\u2019ve got the demand, the question, the letting go of limitations\u2014and it\u2019s the choice that actually creates a different potential for the future. You have to choose (and ACT)!\u00a0 You can\u2019t just sit on your butt and expect change to occur!\u00a0 In this reality, you still have to DO, TOO! Please don\u2019t limit what can show up for you by refusing to act when it\u2019s necessary. Asking is one very important step; it\u2019s not the end. If you want to know what actions to take, simply ask this question every day, \u201cWhat can I do today that will allow this to show up right away?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of your greatest capacities as a being is the capacity to choose. There is just one little catch: we think we should choose only the good (right) things and not the bad (wrong) things.\u00a0 What if there were no judgment of, \u201cOh, this is a good thing,\u201d or \u201cOh, this is a bad thing?\u201d What if it were just, \u201cWow, I made that choice.\u201d And if it works out well, choose more of that. If it doesn\u2019t work out well, what if you could just choose again? That\u2019s another aspect of the magic of you\u2014the capacity to always choose again.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Finally\u2014RECEIVE everything:<\/strong> For this to work, for things to change, you have to be willing to receive everything that shows up, with no judgment or exclusion. Trust the universe.\u00a0 Trust YOU.<br \/>\nPlease know, you don\u2019t control when something shows up, or exactly what it looks like. The Universe does. The Universe is aware of INFINITE possibilities\u2014possibilities that go way, way, WAY beyond every fantasy you may have of what the perfect\u2014for example relationship\u2014should look like.<br \/>\nBecause you are not alone in the world, the Universe has to re-arrange a lot of people\u2019s universes in order to create a major outward shift in the world. You may ask today and receive it in 10 years\u2014or 10 seconds from now.<\/p>\n<p>So if it doesn\u2019t show up tomorrow\u2014you are NOT wrong, my friend.It will occur. You have started! Right now . . . reading this . . . .And please know\u2014it will probably look completely different than you\u2019ve ever imagined. What if the possibilities you\u2019ve always dreamed of actually could exist? \u2028\u2028What if it doesn\u2019t have to be some far off thing anymore that seems impossible to achieve, impossible to have, impossible to be, impossible to choose? What if you, truly being you, are the gift and the change this world requires?

Let Me Count the Ways, a She's appeared on hundreds of TV and radio shows, including Oprah, Howard Stern, and Good Morning America and has been quoted in dozens of publications, including the New York Times, Chicago Sun-Times, Cosmopolitan, Redbook, Marie Claire, and Men\u00b9s Health. After being a consummate People Pleaser who felt unworthy of getting her own needs met for many years, Daylle found a path of self-love that enabled her to build her self-esteem and reinvent herself into a dual career. She learned to get taken seriously without being overtly assertive when she became one of the first women to start an independent record label (on a dare!) and learned to play ball nicely and successfully in an industry dominated by men. To help independent musicians empower themselves, Daylle writes music business books for Billboard\/Random House, including the very popular Start &amp; Run Your Own Record Labe and I Don't Need a Record Deal! Daylle's books have been translated into over 10 languages and are popular around the world. She speaks for colleges, organizations and corporations. Through her company, Project Self-Empowerment, Daylle creates programs and materials to help people empower themselves. One goal is to raise the money to self-publish her book, How Do I Love Me? Let Me Count the Ways and give it away for free in colleges and through organizations, to give thanks for all her blessings. Daylle uses her writing and speaking to help others find the kind of contentment and empowerment that she has.","url":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/author\/dschwartz"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/83"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5446"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5450,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5446\/revisions\/5450"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beliefnet.com\/columnists\/lessonsfromarecoveringdoormat\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
