Daphneleah Schneider is a Rightness Release Mentor, Speaker, Reiki Master, Writer, and Model from Los Angeles, California, where she is creating specialized talks and workshops focused on wellness and healing from Rightness.
Can you describe the moment or reasoning, leading up to deciding to write about abandoning/healing the need to be “right”?
(DS): Before I realized what exactly this book was going to be about, I started writing about some aspects of the origin of humans. I wrote extensively on several topics, and then I realized the work needed to be divided. One division led to sharing my personal journey of healing. I have done a tremendous amount of work to heal from Rightness, and listen to others, and have compassion. The book came about because I wanted to share my experience.
What would you say is your favorite part of writing your book, “Releasing Rightness: How Love Heals the Need to be Right”
(DS): I love the magic of it. I love how sometimes the worst words are written, and a good idea is there; with work and effort, the words transform into something good that makes sense.
I love clarifying my thoughts, which then helps me clarify my life beliefs. I love the honesty of it all. I love how good it feels to express myself creatively.
Your blog mentions your emphasis on divinity in your life. Does the concept of divinity inspire your writing as well? If so, how?
(DS): In my world, a cigar is never just a cigar; all things are divine. Everything in the universe is the divine, which I experience as love. Some things have a higher love frequency than others, but it’s all love. Creativity is divinely inspired. From coloring to creating a masterpiece, it’s all the divine expressing itself through us. Each one of us is divinity incarnate and a form of love. Some people are better at living it than others. And that is part of the human experience.
The divine inspires my writing in that it moves through me when I write. Even though my writing has a childlike quality to it, the value of the information and my experience help others. Living connected with Divinity is ultimately how I healed from Rightness. The Divine is love and the most potent force. It heals us and connects us to all things.
Could you please walk us through your writing process?
(DS): I ask for help and guidance from the muses and the divine before I begin. I use a timer and work for 15 minutes at a time, or I set the alarm for an hour and work for that duration.
I usually type and type and then go back and edit. I can write for 2-4 hours a day.
When I have something, I send it to an editor ( a dear friend or my daughter) to help it make sense and give me direction.
What piece of advice would you offer to women authors?
(DS): Do it! Your story is valuable, and we want it and need it. If you have an idea for a book, it means the idea seeks to live outside of your mind. It needs to be in the world. Others have asked for it, and you heard the call. Take all the time you need and do it. I started with fifteen minutes a day. It was grueling at first. I felt a great deal of shame taking that much time for myself, but I persevered, and it eventually became easier. Now, I consider myself a writer.
Writing daily makes you a writer. You can do it!
