DEDICATION of THE SELFCARE BOOK

This is for all of us.

This curation of consciousness is for all the people who: ...are sick and tired of being sick and tired,
...are seeking simplicity in a sea of complexity, ...know that deep down they do not need to be fixed, simply nourished,
...want to ignite their human potential through their bodies’ innate wisdom,
...want to live in their highest vibration so that they can serve from abundant overflow,
...are driven to optimize their performance in this once-in- a-lifetime human experience,
...are inspired to live their legacy, not just leave one, ...are empathetic and compassionate souls serving from an empty cup,
...want to help everyone else, before helping themselves.

This is for you and everyone you care about.

Initially, I wrote this for my patients and my mum. But, then I realized that I was writing it for me. My imperfect perfect, self. I needed to learn and embody this message and vision before sharing it with you. Which means, we are all doing this together.

This is for my family, friends, my local community and our global family. Mum, this is for you. You are the hero of this story. To my dad, and my extended family that goes beyond blood, thank you for your support, challenging questions and guidance in the darkest of times.

This is a dedication to all the lightworkers, working behind the scenes, illuminating the darkness. You too are the heroes of this story. I see you.

This book is simply a reminder of what you already know and feel to be true.

The keys are in your hands. The universe is conspiring in your favor.

It’s time to trust your innate wisdom and tune into the source of it all. From my heart to yours. Big love and thank you.

THE MEANING AND THE MISSION

A number of great minds, from Albert Einstein to Dikran Marsupial and even Richard Freyman said a similar thing—“If you can’t explain it simply enough to a six-year-old, then the truth is that you don’t yet know it well enough yourself.” So, here’s our six-year-old version of truth.

OUR INTENTION—“EMPOWER & ENABLE”

Our intention is to empower you on your own personal journey, merging ancient wisdom with a modern existence so that you too can be happy, healthy, connected and living towards a unified and sustainable existence for all. Together as one global community on this fragile blue planet.

OUR VISION—“THE RISING BILLIONS”

We believe that good health and wellbeing is a human right for all people, of all ages, regardless of geography, race, religion or luck of birthright. It is a human right for all of us, not just for some us.

OUR MISSION—“1 IN 8 PEOPLE”

To empower good health and wellbeing by enabling personalized, integrated and holistic approaches to health, happiness and connection in a unified and sustainable world. All while reducing the burden of chronic preventable disease in this generation and future generations. If we influence 1 in every 8 people, we will create a ripple effect of positive change: one person, family and community at a time.

My personal mission is to promote health happiness and connection in a unified and sustainable world. SelfCare is about empowering each of us (me included) to look after ourselves so that others may never need to. It is a human-centric, natural, energetic and spiritual approach that unlocks our human potential and empowers each of us to optimize our human experience in our own unique way. This enables each individual to have an impact and create an intergenerational ripple effect

of positive change. This is a natural outcome when we each learn to fill our own cup daily and serve from overflow. The future is abundant. There is enough for all of us. Let’s learn to thrive together as one, sharing and circulating life’s abundance so that we create a world that is a win for all.

— Rory Callaghan

WARNING

READING THIS COULD RISK YOUR CURRENT HEALTH

This book is a book of choices. If you make a positive lifestyle choice or change—your life will also change. If you are suffering with fatigue, burnout, poor health and vitality, I warn you that reading this could risk your current state of poor health. If you are seeking the secrets hidden in plain sight to ignite your human potential, optimize your performance and live your ultimate experience, then you will find that here too, within the fields of ancient wisdom and evidence-based science.

Live fast and die young; enjoy healthy moderation; or live to longevity— the choice is yours! This is a supportive and non-judgmental community of people simply doing their best!

I intend for this book to be a positive disruption in your life and in the lives of those you care about. Naturally, like many new changes, it may seem strange at first, or even a little uncomfortable or inconvenient— but one thing I can assure you is that your life will change for the better!

It’s time to live as an empowered driver in your life, not the passive passenger.

We do not need to be fixed, we simply need to make better daily choices and aim to create happy and healthy communities that enable us all to thrive.

So, I repeat—if you make a positive lifestyle change—your life will change; don’t say I didn’t warn you.

You may even do more of this

5 AGREEMENTS BEFORE WE BEGIN

This book is a conversation, a framework, an adaptable matrix that will evolve over time just as we do. It’s something set to challenge our underlying belief systems, reinforce thoughts and inspire embodied daily action. It is designed to show you where to look, to curate ancient wisdom and modern science, simply—but never tell you what to see or do; that is up to you.

On Reality: “ fundamental conclusion of the new physics also acknowledges that the observer creates the reality. As observers, we are personally involved with the creation of our own reality. Physicists are being forced to admit that the universe is a ‘mental’ construction.” — R.C. Henry, Professor at Johns Hopkins University

On Evidence and unknowns: “The absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, or vice versa.” — Donald Rumsfeld

On Shared wisdom: “All truly wise thoughts have been thought already thousands of times; but to make them truly ours, we must think them over again honestly, until they take root in our personal experience.” — Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

On Collaboration: “We are like dwarfs sitting on the shoulders of giants. We see more, and things that are more distant than they did, not because our sight is superior or because we are taller than they, but because they raise us up, and by their great stature add to ours.” — Metalogicon by John of Salisbury, 1159

On Collective impact: “We live by each other and for each other. Alone we can do so little. Together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller
