Dana Regan, Somatic Soul Coach

🪄Magic cannot be forced or planned. Like birth and death, it is mystical, unknown, invisible, and both wildly slow and sudden. Magic, akin to nature, operates on its own time. Flowers bloom delicately and profoundly, not exactly when you want or expect them to, but in their own perfect timing.

More importantly, let’s discuss the architecture of magic—the conditions that support the growth of this magical garden. It’s more of a feeling than a cognitive process, yet it’s also holistic. Magic’s blueprint is found in practice, moments of openness, awe, curiosity, liberating exhales, and a suspension of judgments and bone-draining fear.

The practice of magic lies in cultivating awe for the contractions, the darkness, the silent and lonely moments, the addicted and wounded parts of our lives. We are conditioned to point to a rainbow and call it magical, instead of recognizing the magic in the rain that made it possible.

So, I invite you to sprinkle a healthy dose of magic this week. Turn the volume up by 5%. Give yourself the opportunity to see, hear, feel, and believe in magic again, like a child filled with wonder. Unclench your jaw and let yourself attune to your inherent nature—pure, f&$king, flowing magic.

What’s something the last few years have taught you? Drop it below! ⬇️

🥩 It’s only Tuesday and I woke up thinking it was Wednesday. Turned the coffee pot on with no coffee or water, put my keys in the fridge, and then actually looked for them in there. Went to Target, lost and found my debit card, AC broke, so I Uber Eats’d a $40 steak for breakfast. Crushing it over here! 😂 Happy freakin’ Tuesday!

🌕 This last full moon cycle has been quite the odyssey. I embarked on a year-long walk on the summer solstice, accompanied by a group of incredible souls I have yet to fully know. Each day, we walk, observing and being present, with the journey culminating in a two-week pilgrimage on the Camino de Santiago next year. I am enchanted by the simplicity and arduous, intuitive spontaneity of walking. I cherish the freedom of stepping out my door and just going, with no set destination in mind.

The heat has tempered my pace, yet I remain resolute in my daily 10,000 steps, a ritual I’ve upheld for the past seven months, save for those blisteringly hot days. This journey feels like traversing five years of winters and countless summers, leaving me both yearning for the crispness of fall and embracing the profound deceleration of the present.

In this deceleration, I witness the part of me eager to move, to strength train, to quicken my pace for the sake of a different rhythm—a different kind of blood flow and fire. Yet, here I am, walking, resting, and embracing the slower pace.

During a meditation today, I embodied the crystal clear turquoise ocean that I’ve now lived on for these last nine months. The ocean is in my body now, just as I once embodied the wood-burning stove seasons of years past. I love becoming the elements. Today, this turquoise clear crystal flow, with golden flickering lights streaming through, brings me to my inner compass, which is excited to hit the open road and continue my walk.

And just to say, my vision keeps me going. At the end of my life, I want to feel that it was a long, beautiful, awe-inspiring, slow, delicious walk. Much more to come, all as the spirit guides.

Buen Camino 💫

wishing you a beautiful weekend😘

🌞✨ On this solstice, a time to gather and come home to oneself, I find myself reflecting on this midpoint of the year. As I look back on my journey and ahead to what’s next, the mood is simple: nothing to prove.

I’ve got nothing to prove, nothing to hide, and no more inner rocks to unearth. Every stone has been turned, nurtured, loved, and composted. No rock left behind. Now, I stand in my garden, a space I’ve been cultivating forever. It’s bearing fruit, blooming, and becoming, just as it is.

Yes, there’s still weeding and watering, but I’m keeping that simple too. No need to fret about this or that. Instead, I’m dropping the worries and just being with the essence of the farm. This is actually where my work lies—in keeping it simple, easy, and not overcomplicating or overanalyzing.

Instead of working *in* it or *for* it, I’m simply *being* with it. Embracing the fruits of my labor, cherishing the blooms, and reveling in the beauty of the present moment.

Here’s to the journey, the growth, and the pure joy of just being. 🌿🌺🍃

✨ “Listen to your body in all directions, on all layers—physical, emotional, spiritual. Feel the whispers of intuition and the cosmic kismet intertwining in the symphony beneath your skin. Here lie the answers to your prayers—an invitation to feel, heal, and be true to yourself. Devote yourself to the life force within, embracing your body as lover, as beloved partner. This is the key to presence, for your body is nowhere other than right here, right now.” ✨

My vision has always been simple: to be a woman who is well-nourished, so I can continue to give, receive, love, and savor all the flavors life offers. This picture of me in the Costa Rican jungle is filled with happiness and joy, reminding me how often we overlook living in our vision because of that insidious voice saying “more, not good enough, in a few years.”

In a world driven by the relentless pace of the patriarchy, having a simple vision can make us feel like we’re not doing enough. Somatic practices teach us to slow down, drop in, listen deeply, and envision from within, ensuring our visions are sustainable, titrated, and honored. Imagine staying numb and cut off from your dreams, desires, and vision—where would you be, and how does that contribute to the greater good?

The power of embodied envisioning lies in seeding our vision from the depths of our inner being, where the most powerful dreams come from. In this workshop, we’ll make those profound connections, allowing you to exhale deeply, unclench your belly and jaw, and truly align with your purpose.

“The Church says: The body is a sin.
Science says: The body is a machine.
Advertising says: The body is a business.
The body says: I am a fiesta.”
—EDUARDO GALEANO
