This could be supportive to you especially if you don't currently publish a regular newsletter for your business and if you are struggling with where to begin when it comes to designing and delivering a newsletter. In this webinar I'll take you through the process of determining your frequency, format and style with activities that you can take away and do in your own time to determine how to approach this in a way that is manageable for you, especially if you are a solopreneur, while also serving your customers and clients' needs. This webinar will also serve to introduce you to how the Digital Solutions Program, a government funded initiative serving micro and small business owners, can support you in your journey.

Daniel's Personal Growth Journey

00:03:31
Speaker
Today's podcast guest is a personal growth consultant, Daniel Reagan. Since 2008, Daniel's journey of personal development has involved a series of journeys and initiations that led him into an intimate understanding of the unconscious shadow mechanism and the personal and collective wound patterns that are a part of humanity's storyline at this time. His lifelong fascination with the polarities of light and the dark aspects of existence and And the archetypes that fill these spaces has been a guiding light on his path of self-discovery and empowerment. He walked a path of shamanic mysticism and specialises in anchoring entrepreneurs, leaders and groups into a deep sense of presence, magnetism and personal power, achieved through owning, deconstructing and integrating the unique shadow and wound constructs that are waiting to be revealed, accepted and liberated in this life.
00:04:30
Speaker
Now I came across Daniel and his work when I took part in the Dreamark retreat last year, which was offered through the Jean Keys. I love being a part of that online community. However, almost everyone I met was in the Northern Hemisphere and the only Jean Keys guides or ambassadors that I knew of were in Queensland and WA. So I reached out to the Jean Keys and asked if there was any particular area in Australia that actually attracted people who were drawn to this work. or facilitators who ran in person events in the southeast corner of this country. And then the very next week Dan was actually featured in the newsletter and he's based in Bay. Yeah. So I was like, okay, when he's not going to try to use in Byron Bay, but that's why I signed up to his newsletter.
00:05:18
Speaker
and um i And also there was a link to a clip where he was talking to Rosie Aronson, the co-founder of the Dreamart, about a darkness retreat. So I was fascinated by this. And I really enjoyed the depth of his newsletters and I started following him Instagram as well. And I just was intrigued by his journey and and wondered if he would run anything in person.

Impact on Professional Life

00:05:44
Speaker
that then I could connect with other people in Australia with. So I'm really excited and honored to have you here today, Dan, and to share this experience of you taking your mysticism into the world of business and look forward to discovering what that journey has been like for you as an entrepreneur doing business to your own beat. So thanks for being here. And now Dan's currently in Mexico. So I just thought I'd say that too. He's not here in Australia. So slightly different temperature. yes Very different temperatures. Nice to be here, my friend. Thank you.
00:06:15
Speaker
You're welcome. Thank you. So can you give us a little background into how this all started and what you were doing before you actually started to combine mysticism and business? Yeah. Okay. Where do we start? I started my personal growth journey in 2008 and that involved me leaving the east coast of Australia to go and live on the west coast of Australia because I needed to change the way I was going about life and I really needed to sort my shit out in a way. So i I moved over there. I just started applying for jobs. I had enough with where I was living and I landed a job ah doing what I was doing with operations management.
00:07:07
Speaker
And I landed a job with Downer EDI over in um over in Perth. So I moved over there. I didn't know anyone. And that was perfect for me because it gave me a chance to ah clean myself up, train, not drink, not party, and start focusing in on myself. And the journey actually started within a couple

Consulting Approach and Shadow Work

00:07:29
Speaker
of weeks of that. All these synchronicities started happening. And and i and I ended up at my first workshop. and the The guy who was running it was a guy called Michael Roland. I was driving along in the car and I kept on hearing this bloke on the radio and this is when I first got there and he was like, do you ever wonder why your life is the way it is? And I was like, yeah. And then do do you ever wonder why you want to change? but You can't change those. Yeah. And I got all these years anyway. I ended up at this dude's retreat and.
00:07:58
Speaker
It was really uncomfortable for me because I've never been to anything like it. But the first thing you did in this retreat was on ah on a paper, like a blackboard thing, but it was paper things. He did a picture of that iceberg with the with the tip of the iceberg and then all of the unconscious. And he said, this is why you can't change. And that's when the penny dropped for me. And it's like, oh, that's that's the that's my whole, this is what I didn't understand. And from that moment on, that was the catalyst for me just diving into the unconscious and the shadow and the all of these realms to discover not only to get a relief from my suffering and my anxiety and the crippling sense of shame and guilt and regret that I felt like I carried for
00:08:46
Speaker
for all of my life. that And ah just I just wanted to get to the bottom of that. And then also within that is obviously, that's where our our purpose comes alive from. But that that was the that was the pivotal moment in my life back in 2008 at that workshop. So were you introduced to the genes there? or how did that come in? No, the jinkies came after the jinkies came in about 2013 started 2013. They came in for me. I got a human design reading back in 2011 and that resonated with me then clicked in and i and I started that deconditioning process in that way of learning my type and
00:09:30
Speaker
accepting the fact that I wasn't meant to initiate because I'm a generator. And and then and then my friend Mark Bentley over in the West he he he said I've got the next thing and he he got me this big book

Dealing with Self-Doubt

00:09:43
Speaker
and the jinkies and from that moment on it was it was interesting because I knew had to had something in there for me. But then I was I was and and I'd read it. If I read it in the afternoon, It would be so activating for me that I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. So I knew that there was something that I kept to follow in there. And I just, that's what I kept on doing. I just read and read and listened and and just interact. and And it came alive and became, yeah, something pretty big and then substantial in my life.
00:10:15
Speaker
ah So then did you take that book into the business workplace and go, right, we all need to do this? Well, it's funny, and i did I did recruit a few a few people back in the day into it. but But the journey into business was a very interesting one because I've always been in a leadership position since my early 20s. And just naturally, like ah ah I wasn't a career driven person. I just land in these positions and and ah kind of naturally be elevated or or get promotions into better better positions in a way. But then I realized, and looking back now, that seven years from 2008 to 2015 of me doing my own personal growth work while I was still in the workplace, and specifically while I was doing the jinkies and the venous sequence in those last couple of years, 2013 to 15,
00:11:10
Speaker
That's where the businesses that I was involved in, what they just transformed and they self-organized in a way that I've never experienced before. If there was some bad apples or or people that a lot of negativity or something within the business that um you know were're were we' an issue, they would self-organize out of the business. It was a really fascinating. And this happened organically, but ah it started happening at at a at a more rapid rate that everything would just start to work out. But I was single for most of it, so a lot of my relational things were coming in through the people that I was managing, like supervisors. and
00:11:52
Speaker
and engineers and then you know plan operators, that but they were all coming in to inform me about what shadow aspects of myself were actually playing out. It was a fascinating, a fascinating journey in that way, but it really ah gave me a tangible sense of what's possible in any workplace for anyone um ah to to bring that in because a lot of people believe that and I did at some at at some stages that got to leave the workforce to to actually step onto our path yet.
00:12:25
Speaker
I think the workforce or the corporate scenario is ah is a perfect playground for us to do our personal development within because it's relational and relationships are the coalface of our ah of our evolution. Everything happens in there. It's not to say that you have to stay in there your whole life, but it's a great training ground for for interactions and getting to know your shadow at a deeper level. Yeah, i like I like that thought that it's so true

Social Media and Personal Growth

00:12:52
Speaker
that everyone wants to leave the corporate world to become a coach, travel free and not be involved in the mainstream. But yeah, actually, we all have a part to play in, in the collective mainstream. So that's beautiful. ah So what kind, how do you, how do you actually now ah approach or do you approach business or do businesses approach you to work with them and what kind of work do you do with them?
00:13:18
Speaker
Yeah, i do um I do consulting for businesses and leaders in executive positions, especially to but improve their performance and to to work with them with their shadow and and mechanisms and stuff like that. But i it's it's I've been really fortunate in that I've just pretty much always worked word of mouth. And and my my reputation kind of brings in the next people, and the next waves of people. So I've been very fortunate in that regard. yet i And I do also believe that that's a a manifestation of ah the inner work as well. if I think we're we're designed to magnetize. We're here to be magnetic. And the more inner work that we do,
00:14:05
Speaker
The higher our vibration goes, the better the magnet. Yet if we're forcing things or living from our minds or ah following others too much or or going against our inner authority, we're not really going to be at our magnetic potential. We're not going to be embodied and have the patience to be able to sit or restrain and trust the flow of life that is coming in. So I think there's a whole metaphysical piece in that in that aspect too, but I do feel blessed that um I ah have been pretty fortunate in the word of mouth department. Yeah, I don't know that it's blessed like you just said it yourself that you magnetize it towards you because you're being what should your true your essence is actually bringing the work in rather than trying to convince people
00:14:56
Speaker
But the other, I think it was last week you shared on Instagram that you tend to show up in spurts and fits and disappear on Instagram and yet you've got a pretty big following. Do you actually find you get work through Instagram as well or through social media? Do people approach you for personal work? In the past. It hasn't ah correlated to ah the amount I show up, the amount of business I get. And that's why I didn't really have any, and I don't generally have an ongoing incentive to show up on there. And I prefer in the past to not show up on there because i i i ah I'm very happy not to be on there.
00:15:40
Speaker
Yet in the last but probably this year, I've I've really chosen to just be on there more because I knew that there wasn't it wasn't all about that. For me, there was pieces in there was little insecurity pieces in there that were playing out and and to be out there and online all the time. I wanted to have that experience. So i I went nuts for, it was about a month ago. I i i tried to do 30 posts in 30 days, but I only got to 18, but it was heaps more than I'd done. I think ah it outdid really out. yeah The previous year. The previous year and the year before. And I definitely loved the year before that because I just wasn't, but, and it's been actually good. It's been a good edge to, it's actually now I'm in a position where I really,
00:16:30
Speaker
don't care that much about what people think of me. that's so That's been a huge part of my personal development journey is hearing what other people think. and I've moved through that kind of behind the scenes, but then I know it because Instagram is such a good teacher and a good gauge of where you're at. like okay ah Now I can just take a selfie and post it and write something, and I don't even think about it again. and so But I wouldn't have been able to do that a few years ago at all. like It's like, oh my god, is this photo all right? And and what if what if this gets taken the wrong way? It was just a total trip. because And that's where I think social

Prosperity and Fulfillment

00:17:08
Speaker
media
00:17:09
Speaker
it's It's a really good teacher if you can treat it that way. But it it can, you know, we either use it or it uses us. And I've got an addictive personality too. So i've I've got kind of certain rules that I have around it. Otherwise I can kind of get sucked into that world and it's and it's not good for my inner world in that sense. yeah yeah Well, you kind of answered one of my questions I had was, do you ever experience self-doubt? Or have you just gone, I've become that? And still? I think it's a i think it's a ah natural human tendency.
00:17:53
Speaker
it's ah It's such a natural human thing. It's like I did something the other day. I posted something about if youre if you're if you think you can get if you think you can walk your own unique walk in this life without being misunderstood, think again. And so many people wrote to me after that and said, oh my God, thank you. I needed to hear that. Because I believe if you you step off the the the Amster wheel or you start walking your own unique path, which doesn't look like anyone else's path. This is the thing. it's This is the trip and this is why it's initiatory because if our path isn't meant to look like anyone else's path, they can be similar, but there has to be so unique.
00:18:34
Speaker
This means that every single person has to go through the same initiation portal, even though it might look a little bit different, of their insecurities, the self-doubt, the confusion, that the the all of these things to step onto that true path. And that's what fascinates me about the mystery is that you know where where we are at some stage, or the ones that are willing, are designed to to step onto this this path if they're into their personal growth and development, and then to face these areas within ourselves that are
00:19:08
Speaker
You know, it's like the in ah in ah inner demons that are that are there or the insecurities or the the bits that might take us away and and just want us to go back into our comfort zone or the mainstream. or or the yeah or the So yeah. Well, I i use in in my podcast intro the line that we all have our unique thread to add to the collective tapestry. And that has come about because, I mean, I've worked with fabrics, that sort of thing. But it's come about because but my entire life, I have never felt like I've belonged. Not in in my family, not in my community, not in even the country, like my parents were immigrants. And it's not that I don't love my family, I just seem to be the black sheep no matter where I go. And I got to a point where I was like, Dr. Zeus.
00:19:57
Speaker
say you know why fit in when you were born i'm like embrace it don't even try it any eighty and possible and i've actually realized that that is ah part of who i'm meant to be um one different and i came to this country town and set up a business had a commercial space in town and and it was all about just owning your uniqueness and people would walk in who'd move to the
00:20:25
Speaker
Ah, this sigh of relief. I don't have to wear RM Williams. I thought, you know, I'm into the country. It's all about RM Williams. I've been doing that since I got here. it No, you can't be whoever you want to be. like That's who you're meant to be. But yeah, it's fascinating journey. But I wanted to ask you something. Sorry, good but that's a great permission that it's a great permission that you give people in that in that way. It's not easy, though. ah so i yeah honey And I say it with a smile, but there are times where it's like, oh god this is exhausting. like why can't i tell yeah and It's easy to just retreat now that I've closed my commercial space to retreat to my home, work from home and not have to put myself out there. I'm now consciously
00:21:11
Speaker
taking myself back back out in front of people because for maybe the last years, since I closed the shop, I tended to just hide away a little bit. And I found Instagram easier to just put myself out there because I didn't have to see a reaction. I don't care less how they react on the other side because that says about how they're feeling, not what I'm doing. so But when you're right in front of people and you see a reaction, then it's like, oh, okay, now where do we go? ah That's an interesting clarity because I feel like I live on the other side of that. I can handle things in person, yet online it's a different cat because I don't know. I think it's the preemptive fear of projection or something or or anyone looking at your stuff at any at any time, which I don't care. I really am good with it now.
00:22:06
Speaker
But there's an edge on podcasts sometimes, especially if they're if I had one come out earlier in the week and we recorded it like six months ago. And and i don't I feel like I don't even know who I was six months ago. So what are we even talking about? For me, it's healthy to just pull these things out. It's like, oh, I felt that little pin of self-doubt or show or the shame button or the or the inner critic can just have pip pop a little comment in there. And it doesn't have to, it doesn't weigh me down. It's just, I just noticed that these old tendencies I've moved through and mostly alchemized, I can look back and go, Oh, I remember when I, I wouldn't have been able to handle that. That would have sent me in a process for a week. But now I'm cool, you know, and
00:22:56
Speaker
Yeah, and and also you you saying that now facilitate too because it it it puts out there in there like I'm an ever evolving person I'm not the same person I was six months ago because and I find it interesting you said that about that podcast because when I listened to it, I actually wrote down an observation and that was you sounded like a different person to the previous podcast that I'd listened to, which was maybe two weeks earlier. your The way that you delivered your message, you you were on the whole shebang for, I listened to that one. And then this last one was someone you had done a reading for. And the energy in those two conversations was quite different
00:23:38
Speaker
in the way you delivered your message. And I was like, hmm, that's interesting. So, you know, and it's, and I guess we, we talked about Richard Rudd earlier and even knowing the gene keys and the whole, not knowing them and it's constantly an evolution. I think that that is life. We shouldn't be expected to become a person and that's who we are from here on in. And you can't sway off that. No, because we're constantly growing and evolving. So we're going to keep changing. And yeah but now I'm ranting on that topic because i'm quite know what i see wherere we're designed for change. like And that's the only constant in this reality is is change. And if we're if we're not changing, that means we're not evolving and we're not growing.

Embracing the Unknown

00:24:26
Speaker
So it's it's are they relative points. Change and death, but we won't go there.
00:24:31
Speaker
but we we we could go there little bit all through our conversation But the other thing I wanted to ask you about is I'm i'm doing the pearl sequence ah retreat at the moment. And so I thought, well, it'd be fitting to ask you the questions that they ask you is like the core questions of what is what does prosperity mean to you? What is essential to you in this life? How do you want to spend your the lion's share of your time? But I'm guessing you're already in that space where you choose how you spend the lion's share of your time. And also, what is it you think you can do to be of greater service to the collective? Are there too many questions at once? You can have fired a few at me in there. It's an interesting one. My question...
00:25:19
Speaker
my My big million dollar question is, is that what is the most efficient way for me to have the greatest positive impact on my fellow humans, nature, and life on this day? that's my my um that's That's the one that I stick to, it say and and it kind of keeps the keeps the focus on the service, um because I believe that ah yeah For me, prosperity is is living well and being of service, but also being passionate yeah know the feeling when you go to bed. and We had this conversation on the Shabang podcast that you listened to. It's like, you know when you go to bed and you're excited for the next day?
00:26:05
Speaker
Like you you just wanna, even if it's for something simple like working out or doing something or writing or whatever, that's prosperity. That that for me really and and is the underlying thing and um and and living well and living smoothly and and having all relationships in coherence and looking after the ones you love. And yeah, those are a few things that I relate to prosperity. What would you answer to that? May I ask? No, this is your interview. Prosperity. You're in the pearl. You're actively in the pearl. I joined the pearl sequence. Rather than doing the Venus, I felt more called to do it because I had gone from a commercial space where a lot of my revenue came through that.
00:27:00
Speaker
and And I also had my marriage end the year before that of 24 years. So I was going through a major shift personally in my life and um and feeling like a failure in the area of prosperity because I'm so simple to please. Like I don't need much. So i didn't I didn't feel like I needed the big house and I don't need first-class everything. I actually feel quite happy just going out into the paddock and lying down on the grass and having butterflies and dragonflies fly around me or lying out under the stars. I feel very prosperous. But at the same time, we are in a society where we need to earn a living. So I'm like, how do I combine that feeling ah of um being satisfied with everything that I have attracted into my life? Because I've got two beautiful young men. They're not theyre not boys.
00:27:57
Speaker
old enough to be independent themselves. I've got two beautiful young men. I'm healthy. I have core friends who I value and and I get to work with people on empowering themselves. My main focus has been to empower women to and not to stand alone. I actually It's not about the fact that I don't think partnership is important. I just think women can tend to get lost in partnerships, especially as mothers and lose themselves. So I really wanted to empower women to still take care of who they are. So I have felt prosperous most of my life, even though I i can't get online and go, I made six figure whatever in my business. It's like, I don't see that as prosperous. I see being happy, healthy and capable as being prosperous.
00:28:45
Speaker
and yeah being connected to nature. So that's my summary. It's a pretty in depth summary. and Yeah. I like that. And there's a good, you know, you you bring up some good points there. I don't think prosperity is about the, yeah, I just did a 50K month or like, that's just not prosperity at all. I think, I think and especially now I work, I, work. I love that word. I work really intensely. i focus I focus really intensely on my physicality and training and and like getting bodywork if I need it, but supplements and and having my physical vehicle healthy and aligned and balanced and doing everything to support that, like good sleep, good food,
00:29:34
Speaker
intermittent fasting, I do ice bars, all that sort of thing, because it's the foundation of everything. So, ah and so if I had, if I had to give one simple answer to that question, it would still be to be fully are healthy and alive. The feeling of aliveness within my physical body is that's prosperity and everything flows from that space. And yeah you, you use the word work and then you retracted the word work. And that made me think of a conversation I had with someone I coached recently and she said, I don't work as much as other people. And I was like, hang on a minute. Like she had two rounds of cancer that she recovered from and and a major life tragedy that she lived through. And she's like, I spend like three hours a day just looking after myself. I'm like, that is a part of your work.
00:30:28
Speaker
Because she's also a coach. And and we talk about you know that that feeling of opening up the energy channel. And I'm not and i'm not saying necessarily to channel in other beings. But there are times in the coaching session where I feel like if I haven't done the work to align myself, then I can't collect the information from all the wisdom I've gathered over the years to deliver a response that doesn't just come from my head. And there are times that I'll say something that I'm like, I don't even know where that came from. I feel like I needed to record that so I could hear it again. so Because we we have done the work to actually allow that flow. And she is exactly like that. So I think our society says you need to work this many hours. And that's what work is. And if you and your self-care is like a luxury. But I know, it's essential. We've lost sight of that.
00:31:23
Speaker
it Yeah. I, at the moment I'm sitting in the lounge room because it's warm, but my office, um, I stopped using what we call the Zen Den cause it is a very peaceful space, but it is also the coldest place in the house. And so when I'm sitting there all day, I end up using up and my body is uncomfortable and I don't feel like I'm as present with my coaching clients. But now I sit in the lounge room on a floor cushion and I'm comfortable and I can serve them better. Yeah. yeah yeah but of So you think about offices, sitting in an office in artificial lighting and yeah yeah in the name of work. And that's what's important too. And it's a really good point that you bring up. it's that I think I would 100% spend more time in self-care and tuning up, doing my own inner work.
00:32:15
Speaker
than than showing up online or with sessions. i think and I think that's a necessity in some regard. You've got to have, this is why I disappear for months on end sometimes because life will pull me into just ah a lot of of mutational energy or or a lot that I need to work through within myself and alchemize in order to then come out the other end and embody it in order to facilitate what I do because we can only facilitate the depths that we've gone to

Gene Keys and Personal Development

00:32:46
Speaker
ourselves. Existence doesn't allow ah other than that. So it's it's it's interesting. So to be on our game, I'm 100% with you. Yep. So in that regard, you you also have said, I think in in your newsletter, that you lean into the unknown. But I'm curious as to how, whether or not you do any planning, because you kind of have to know what
00:33:12
Speaker
What's happening next to support you going forward, right? you you Or do you just allow whatever to come through and trust that life will take care of you in in terms of the societal measures of life taking care? That you will have enough financial backing to support the time that you need off to then get you to the next thing? Or do you actually allocate time to project the head of time that you're working towards? You know that that time you've got between now and then to take care of your needs and then show up because then how does that work? It's just a one big rolling ball of everything that I don't spend any time thinking about, actually.
00:33:54
Speaker
i like it's it's i never i can And that's where my eye I think I've gone to the extreme of being stripped back and living in a certain way so I can inface interface with the mystery at a deeper level. yet it it I'm never too far ahead of myself in a way because I find that one, I'm never on the money if i'm if I am thinking too far ahead. and i just don't i I naturally don't spend any time there, but it just money lands when it lands and it funds my next moves. and If the money's not there, I'm not meant to be there. You don't move.
00:34:35
Speaker
um just got this I've just got this symbiotic relationship with life that it money shows up when it does. And yes, there'll be times when there's a lot more than than other times yet. it's It's kind of just one rolling ball of life um moving through me instead of me figuring out what the next things are in a way. In answer to your question, I don't i don't plan ah don't plan much. i've I've let go of most of the planning. But the container that you have at the moment that you're working in the deepening, you would have had to have known a timeframe for that. So how does that work? How do you allow yourself that freedom and then be locked into something?
00:35:21
Speaker
That's actually an interesting thing. because it's it's like ah's ah and And I have these three-month commitments. I had six-month commitments with clients as well, but it's it's basically, I have that structure. I think that's my only structure that I have in my life is my clients and my work online in that way. But as far as my moves and where I am ah globally, or you know that that is somewhat dictated by my private retreats that I've run as well, yet, it I think that gives me the structure to be able to reside in the mystery the majority of the time. And not in the mystery as in people can say, oh, you live in the magic of the mystery. it It can sound very like wafty or uncommittal in a way because a lot of people don't understand it because I i often I can't explain
00:36:10
Speaker
You would have read that thing that I did. are they that that You know, yeah founded because it's like, ah and that's one thing that shame does come up if we live in, in we're designed, I believe, to live in the unknown way more than we do. But because we fear, and we've got these shadows and the fears underneath the servers, we like to know. We like to have the solidity of thinking that we know, all planning and and expectations of how things are going to look. And we like ah as humans, we spend a fair bit of time in that space. My deconstruction has been around stripping all of that back to interface
00:36:54
Speaker
And when I say magic, I'm not talking about magic as in conjuring spirits and like magic is actually interfacing with life as it is. that's magic. Like that's true grounded magic is in that ability to actually see through the illusion and live in that relationship with the mystery, which is as gritty as it gets is as far as I'm concerned, because that's where you do face all your fears because you're not in the busyness and the then you're not in the busyness and you're not in the construct of knowing or thinking, you know, because that could be, ah that can be an illusion as well.
00:37:34
Speaker
Absolutely. So tell me then about the Venus sequence and how you built things around it, offerings around it. You said that was pretty impactful before we got on. can you And for people who don't even know about the gene keys, maybe a little bit of insight into that too. Yeah, cool. So the gene keys are, this comes out different every single time because I never know what's going to come out. But Genkeys are a wisdom. They're a body of wisdom. They're not so much a system like ah like a human-designed system. I think ah they're more like a body of wisdom in which anyone can jump online to Genkeys.com and get their free profile as long as they know their birth.
00:38:24
Speaker
details. Time's not that important, but that's a whole other story. um And you can get ah get a map of your human template and the themes and frequency bands that govern your reality. So if if people jump on there, if they don't know what the jinkies are, get download led your chart. and just have a There's a really good profiling system now. And it's got four big paragraphs on the four main archetypes, so the activation sequence. But every gene key, so there's 64 gene keys, and we have 11 different keys, or sometimes we have two or the same or three or the same, but generally we'll have 11 gene keys in our chart. And basically they're your genetic archetypes that you are here to unlock your genius within.
00:39:14
Speaker
And each gene key has a shadow frequency, a gift frequency, an acidic frequency, which is our most enlightened state. So it's the only... um body of work that dis that I've come across that actually describes your own unique, most enlightened state. Yet underneath that, it also has all of the shadow constructs and the mechanisms, the safety strategies that we start to build as from from when we're born, and especially in the first 21 years, physically, emotionally, mentally, it has all that mapped out because we were designed
00:39:53
Speaker
to live our lives through this template or or this our unique templating system. So it describes what shadows or what safety strategies we created for ourselves or our go-to mechanisms in the early stages of our lives, but also what our shadows are. And there's no more acute technology that I've come across that even comes close to pinpointing what your shadows are. Because a lot of the time, yeah it's yeah We can be in something, but if we're not acutely aware of what our shadows are within that, for me, there's a big hole in being able to own an account for our our shadow. If you don't know what what one of these shadows are, there's no way you're going to be able to own an account for it fully.
00:40:44
Speaker
that I've come across anyway. you know You might have a really great awareness of all these things, and it's not to say everyone has to do the gene keys at all. It's not everyone's path. Yet it's so specific and so unique to everyone that um yeah it's it's fascinating to see how it plays out. for And I've been fortunate enough to Facilitate hundreds of you know sessions and groups and online and in the flesh and everything like that And you just it just rains true all the time like it people say oh my god. This has been playing out my whole life I never had a word for it and so even a word you look at your chart and you're looking if you look at the people look at that chart and
00:41:25
Speaker
And you're basically looking at the themes that you're here to play at this lifetime, and the gifts that you're here to bring to humanity, but then also what undermines those gifts. And then as you as you start to own an account and allow your awareness to kind of mine more of the shadow, you just naturally embody more of your gifts. And if you've got a gift in your hologenetic profile, you're here to gift that to humanity. That's the design of it all. So it it brings a huge um amount of clarity to people's journey at times, if they're willing to go down the rabbit hole of these shadows and have a and have a good look. There's why. ah Sorry.
00:42:07
Speaker
you went No, I said that' that's that's one way to get it. and Yeah, it comes out different every time, which is fascinating. and Fantastic. It comes out as it's meant to at the time. um What you so passionate about the Venus sequence in particular, that kind of central part? Yeah, so and for those that are new, the Gene Keys has an activation sequence, which is the first four outside keys, the life's work, the evolution, radiance, purpose. And then once that's activated and comes alive in the physical,
00:42:43
Speaker
Then the Venus, so it goes from the physical sequence to the emotional sequence. And in the Venus, its yeah we travel back into the first three seven-year cycles, so mentally, emotionally, physically, and back into the core wound. So we all have a have a unique core wound mechanism that all of these shadows can be seen as as kind of running off the same wound mechanism in a way. And that's got the biggest yield of any personal growth and development there is, because no one's ever become enlightened without going to the root of the wound. And and so and this is a literal map.
00:43:28
Speaker
back into those ah those constructs and the defensive constructs, especially mentally and emotionally in the IQ and the EQ, that inhibit us from from really going that deeply into ourselves in a way. So it's got from eight to 14, it's got this, you know, that's where our our emotional years, so it built at group grows our emotional intelligence, but it also has a specific emotional defense that's attacked attached to it as well, and our go-to strategy for protecting ourselves in those those years. And then in the mental year so and and then in the third seven year cycle,
00:44:09
Speaker
The mental body is we're building a mental intelligence, but there also we're also building this very unique specific mental defense strategy based on not wanting to allow any more harm or not or what happens when we face intensity, what happens when we're triggered. And that overrides the emotional body. So it actually goes back in time. So we have to un unwind and deconstruct these these layers within ourselves and these defensive constructs, if you want to call them that. and And so it's really deep. it's really it's really It just brings everything. I stand by that.
00:44:48
Speaker
I don't think there's any deeper ongoing self-initiatory work that one can step onto than the Venus sequence because it consistently brings up more. And you don't need a facilitator of it. You don't need to be coached through it. it's if you're If you're committed to getting to the bottom of your own stuff and and and stripping back the layers that are in the way of you living your truest purpose in this life, that is the ticket. And you gotta get the answer I say that with a lot of authority, yet that's been my experience. And I'm open to that being outdone someday. yeah i i've I've been very deeply in the Venus, especially for nearly 10 years of of that that Venus. Well, it would be 10 years because I went straight into
00:45:42
Speaker
and it's And it's been remarkable, like what what relationships it starts to draw into your reality, the depth of of the your awareness and where it can go and what it can understand and embody and then you know facilitate or teach as well. So it's got everything in there. But it's ah it's definitely and and an initiatory path for those that are stepping onto it. And you only know when you know. It's like if you talk to anyone in the Venus, they're going to know. And so I'm talking about it to you today as well, but you don't know until you know, in a way.

Integration into Consulting and Coaching

00:46:16
Speaker
That's the Venus trip that anyone who knows what it can bring. And then there's no end to it, which is no why it's, you know, it's good. Yeah. But is this what you do in corporate? Do you go with the leaders? Let's look at your Venus sequence.
00:46:32
Speaker
but when you If they're committed enough to the individuals, yes, definitely if theyre if they're committed over a longer period of time, definitely we'll go into some Venus content. That's the same as if i get you know if I've got repeat you know containers with clients that up you know they've got up to I've done like six, seven, eight rounds with me and it's not a three month rounds and it's not always um around the genkeys. Obviously it's like life and and but the genkeys are just such a good
00:47:05
Speaker
um there's such a good backbone or ah or a assist or a you you can just, everyone's patterns are playing out within that matrix. So it's it's really and it's it's really good to be able to, facilitating it as a dance though, because it's a there's a responsibility with it. You can't just tell someone, well, it doesn't work in that way anyway, even if you were to, but it's it's a dance of like allowing people to come to their own, insights so it becomes embodied wisdom and their own breakthroughs in a way but then being able to and what I find I do a lot with with people is
00:47:46
Speaker
is give them a story about how these underlying archetypes or shadows may play out in their reality. And that gives them a way in so their awareness goes, oh, I know how that plays. And then that opens up a portal for them to go down themselves. So it's a bit of an art form, yet it's ah it's so enjoyable. But yeah, the corporate, some corporate ah people I've taken down into those depths, yet it's mostly the the corporate groups and and things like that. It's more introducing and even the first two spheres. You've done the activation sequence before.
00:48:25
Speaker
and only done the pearl. I was The dream arc made me even more curious about the jean keys because every time an animal came up with the keys associated with them, I kept reading about that. And then I was like, yes, but no. but straight to prosperity. No, that's great. It's good. And there's no there's no one way yet. um There's no wrong way of doing it. But yeah for first some groups that I run and introductory groups of people that haven't heard of it, I'll just go to the life's work in the evolution. And I can do a whole thing on that because that life's work in the evolution and the line number, the frequencies
00:49:13
Speaker
there's a gene key and then a line number and those line numbers are everything within this and a lot of the time they get skimmed over but that's a lot of the facilitation I do is connecting people's awareness to those frequency bands because they've got for example in our life's work it's like that's the the gift that is in your life's work That's what you're here to give. that's ah that's ah That's your expression through the sun. But then your evolution and the shadow that undermines that and then the evolution sphere, that's your biggest challenge energies that are going to undermine that life's work expression in the world. So it's it's easier to connect people's awareness to that instead of
00:49:55
Speaker
going into somewhere deeper or even the pearl but if you're facilitating big groups because um like Richard said ages ago if you're if you want to weigh in dig where the water is the shallowest and that is at the top of the chart and so it's a sequential unlocking so you someone can dive into the Venus or the pearl yet um Yeah, it might take a little bit more to penetrate than it would if you were to start on your life's work in evolution. I contemplated my activation sequence before I went to the Pearl. I didn't just go straight. It wasn't my introduction to the Jean Keith, but I must say when I first
00:50:40
Speaker
became aware of the gene keys, like there wasn't as much um information on the lines. I really had to dig deep to understand the lines. And once I dig deep, I've been watching all the YouTube clips and all of the interviews that Richard's talking, talked about the lines and I was taking notes on them. And i and so I'm glad now he's writing that book with the lines and all of the keys. I think that's fantastic. Um, but i I don't remember my, um, life work and I know I just remembered it like five sidedness. I'm like, yeah, I do need to have a lot of five sidedness I have in my entire life. But what made me really, um, excited about finding out in the dream arc that the peregrine Falcon was associated with this, um, life worker. I love birds of prey.
00:51:28
Speaker
So you can see I come at this from more of a connection to the earth and nature, and then go, oh, that's it. it. That's a good way in. What line have you got there? 17 point? Four. 17 point. Four. Oh, OK. So you are already in the third. In the what, sorry? Further realm. in the service route, yes, I have four in my um evolution as well, I'm pretty sure. Like in human design, I came across human design before the Genkeys, I'm a four, six profile. Yeah. more But that, I didn't want to focus on my Genkeys and you're doing a reading for me, but I just was, actually, there was another question that came to mind while you were speaking about that. point
00:52:19
Speaker
um
00:52:21
Speaker
Like, What about, oh, that's what I wanted to ask you. What about other modalities? You said you, Gene Keith, I mean, I've only kind of known you as Gene Keith, but I think I also heard you do breath work or you have done as a part of, you know, what kind of practices do you bring into your offerings?
00:52:43
Speaker
um It just depends. it it i've I've done a lot of different things, breath work being one of them. just different things that that emerge and but different things. oh And the embodiment of which you just got, the more tools that you can get in your belt of embodiment in that way, the more that you've you've obviously can bring forth that I find that the more that I, it's it's interesting, the more that i I used to plan for sessions, I used to do a lot of planning and a lot of like, okay, and and the more that I let go of planning,
00:53:22
Speaker
i The more i i get ah the more i'm I'm in tune myself and I'm grounded for a session, I don't really plan at all. now and that used to scare the shit out of me because it's like oh my god what I've got to give this person value and and like what if I stuff it up and it's like I've got a fear of failure and all this sort of stuff but now I'm really it's like the interview today I didn't you know I would have prepared for something like this years ago yet I know that the more present I am this this field of in when you're when you're dealing with especially one-on-one and and groups but one-on-one in
00:54:03
Speaker
in in mentoring, the more that I'm present as a facilitator, so whatever is needs to be said is just going to arise in the moment, and it can't be planned. They say that I let go of all of this planning and the needing to know, and and all of my work through my insecurities. And when I show up, I'm showing up empty in the now, that's where the greatest wisdom emerges from. And like you mentioned before, so you're getting in the flow state, and you start talking about something that you don't even like, where is this coming from? It's like yeah it's kind of like, you and that's, that's, that's what I do, I can start talking into something. And five minutes later, I'm at a I've just told a whole story about how something could be
00:54:52
Speaker
And I used to question it because it's like, am I? But it's the that's the that's the that's the flow state. like That's the where the where the precision can come through the words because we're getting our humanness out of the way and it can stream in a way instead of instead of knowing and planning and and all these things, which is obviously a whole lot a whole lot easier when you're preparing for sessions. yeah I do in my experience I had to work a lot for that the ability to do that because you know it takes you know being present and yeah alert and aware and having the things to say is a it's a bit of an art form in itself and it was definitely has been a string of initiations for me to get to that place but but I'm very grateful for it. And your personal wisdom acquired through your experiences that give you the information to then channel.
00:55:44
Speaker
it i I am a ah coach through a government program at the moment, just part time. um And we yeah our actual area of facilitation is in digital tools. So we help businesses who don't have a digital online presence you know to do that.

Facilitating Personal Development

00:56:04
Speaker
And there's a new guide who just started and she said, she turned up to a session. She had all these questions, but I ask any of my questions. And I'm like, well, I turn up to my sessions now. No question, nothing prepared. And just sit there and let the person speak. And then I question, like things come out and I start saying things that I channel. I feel like sometimes I feel like someone takes over my body.
00:56:31
Speaker
But, um, and sometimes people go, hang on a minute. I want to write that down. And I think, oh crap, what did I say? I don't remember what we need to record it. But I used to be, when I did my coaching certification, I used to prepare like but before a session, I would sit there and write a whole list of based on our previous session. And I was, yeah, that was a waste of time. I do. ah I agree with you. It's just being present, but it's also trusting and that Again, the whole self-doubt comes in. The reason I prepared is because I didn't actually believe I had the ability to serve without preparing. And that was my doubt. And I can't even remember where my doubt fits in my chart, but it is a shadow of doubt. Oh, it might be in my culture sphere. Anyway, so um I, yeah, I used to doubt that I actually had the ability to serve someone unless I had prepared. So it was like,
00:57:28
Speaker
It was through experience that you realized, actually, no, I've got it all within me. I've just got to trust it. And that takes time.
00:57:36
Speaker
yeah yeah So what is it you've got? like I know you don't like to plan, I guess that. But if people wanted to connect with you going forward or joining one of your containers, like do you have anything coming up that you know of that you could share? ah yeah Definitely. My website is good. And then I've got a ah collaborative website with Annabel Viscara, who we actually met at the Venus Sequence Retreat in Romania in 2015. And fifteen and and we we were in a relationship for almost seven years. So we know each other intimately. And we're also very deeply immersed in the Venus and embodied in the Venus work. so
00:58:22
Speaker
um we've been running retreats for years but then we we we put a website up it's called experientialwisdomteachings.com um you could probably have it in the show notes but that's where and and we we speak into the lines a lot because it's been a huge part of our journey so all the master classes that are available on there ah ah they have a lot of the line frequency downloads because um of the importance of them but then ah's also it's interesting with his wisdom especially with the keys is that everyone embodies it in a different way so you you could get a reading with someone and then have a reading with another person and you're going to get two very different sounding
00:59:05
Speaker
ah you know it's It's just everyone's got a different way of of being a transmission holder of it. um So experientialwisdomteachings.com is where you can find some of that material and we do put our upcoming containers, we we list them on there. um We're currently running one now. So that's a bit too late for that. And then my website is danregan dot.co for um yeah mentoring sessions and worldwide immersions whenever they arise. And it's not to say that. And how do we know when they're going to arrive? like you can put them honey i put up generally Generally, I'm invited.
00:59:44
Speaker
but And I know more structure, it's it's like life gives me these periods and I'm currently in one now, so it's probably coming through in this in this chat that it's it gives me a big schedule and structure to work with, especially when I'm working with groups ah in person, but then it'll give me these these open wide open spaces like I'm currently in now, that I've still got my clients and I'm running this group and everything like that. but um yeah a bit more mystery in there, which I like because it gives me a chance to nurture and nourish before my my next um string of events in that way. Fantastic.
01:00:23
Speaker
So, and I am Dan Regan on Instagram when you do decide to show up. I'm pretty consistent. I know. You're very good. You are very good. and um and And that's not even, I shouldn't even say it like there's a judgment there. Like you share beautiful photos in your stories of the dogs and like it gives that background story, but your feed is a beautiful feed. That is a good brand representation of what you're about. So yeah, now you do a fantastic job. but Yeah, well done. That used to be one of the excuses that held me back was needing to get things looking so right, or needing to write things in a specific like get my writings like perfect. And so I'd end up my whole pattern was to end up with
01:01:10
Speaker
I just ended up with a desktop full of these writings and they never ever went out. But because I couldn't get, it's like, oh, I need someone to do the graphics. So that there's been always these excuses, but now i i'm I'm used to just writing something and then putting it out there, writing something, putting it out there. And and but it's it's been a journey to get there actually. Well, that's actually just triggered another question for me. Sorry, I'm going to, you've got time for another question. Fantastic. and So do you actually, do you do all of your own graphic work? Do you like working Canva or do you outsource any of your marketing materials? No, I'm always on the lookout for people who are handy on the design front because um i I work with, I've got about five different like templates that someone did up for me um and they're really, and I just keep continuing to use them. So I basically do my own now.
01:02:09
Speaker
But um that used to hold me back a bit. But once I got in the flow of having the colors and everything, so I just had to punch in something, it was all good. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that's something in the program working with micro and small business owners and people get quite overwhelmed with how to balance all of the tasks and all of the different hats that they need to wear and and still have time for their craft or or their personal care. so yeah There's no shame in outsourcing, but there's also no shame in making it as simple as absolutely possible so you can manage it and just get the job done and move on. so
01:02:50
Speaker
yeah yeah yeah and i think I think we have, I think it's it's good to play to our strengths as well. And and my strength is speaking and writing and and being live. But I really find that my energy gets, you know, I can only spend so much time like doing camber or creating reels or anything because it's just not my realm. So ideally, and in the future, as as things progress and grow and expand, I will have, and I have had others in the past to just do things for me, but I do like the sound of that because it then it allows me to stick to what I'm best at whilst someone is there to kind of churn out and doing what they're best at. So it's it's so collaborative effort in that way. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. Beautiful.
01:03:42
Speaker
Well, um I feel like we might be coming to an end with the recording of the podcast, so but was it is there anything you want to share that you feel like we need to hear in this moment, channel? but ah you and with like it nothing Yeah. and fine yeah um ah if People are curious about the gene keys. it's ah It's a really good, you know, you don't have to dive into the Venus and the wound and everything like that, but it's a really good system of, I said the system word, it is like a ah ah body of wisdom that is so accessible.
01:04:23
Speaker
And it is it is so accessible because the world needs it. It needs it to be accessible as it is. And that's there. And for anyone to download their profile and and to be a bit curious about what what these themes are and and some of these shadows and Because it can you can you can get a lot of gold out of out of out of the transmission in that way. So um yeah, I guess an invitation for that and an invitation for people to let go of the knowing a bit more. I constantly... and

and um Part of my purpose, though that's literally in my purpose key is the 61's inspiration. it's itss it It is living more in the not knowing and to inspire other people to do the same, to live in the magic and to interface with reality as it is, which is largely outside of the known and and more in the unknown where all of our ah interesting pieces reside. But is that everyone? comfort zone to live in the unknown? Or just some people, is it they're calling to live in the known? Yeah, maybe it is. I'm not one to judge that. And maybe there is there are people who are designed to live in the known, and that that might be their trip. But I'm i'm definitely on this path of get being stripped back.

Speaker
to live more in that mystery and the unknown because I find I found that everything is in there. And if I wasn't doing that, I wouldn't be true to myself. So, yeah, this is my trip and and other people can have theirs and it might be full of knowing that might work for them. but so I don't think it's me but I just thought I would ask on that. Yeah, it's it's an interesting one because I can be yeah it's and it's good to question these things because you know I'm aware that there can be arrogance underneath anything that we we're so like anchored or believe so deeply in so I'm always open to feedback and when when a question like that gets asked it's like oh

Speaker
Maybe they're not sure how much magic would be in that reality and how much they're reveling in the mystery. But that might work really well for
