Love tells me I am everything.
Wisdom tells me I am nothing.
Between these two,
my life flows.

Ragini Elizabeth Michaels
  Ragini Elizabeth Michaels is an Author, Therapist, and Trainer of Communication and Modeling Skills, specializing in Behavioral Change.  She has gained international recognition for her work and her reputation as a superb teacher, presenter, and the pioneering originator of Facticity® and Paradox Management.  Invitations to share her work have taken her beyond the boundaries of the US to Canada, England, Scotland, Spain, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, and India.

Driven by her life-long passion to unravel the connections between psychology and spirituality, and inner peace and identity, Ragini traveled to India and around the world 9 times.  Haunted by her need for deeper insight into the traditional eastern concept of No-Self, she continued to study the discourses of various Enlightened Beings, both living and dead.  In the course of this study, she stayed true to her personal quest for understanding by incorporating 35 years of meditation and the vast range of experiences that resulted from 13 years of close contact and teachings from a living Enlightened Master until his death in 1990.

Ragini established Facticity® Trainings in 1988 by combining her various areas of expertise:  Psychology and Human Behavior from years of private practice;  Behavioral Change from Ericksonian Hypnosis and a degree in Physiological Psychology;  Modeling from NLP (she received her Trainers Certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming through the founding Society of NLP);  Training skill from working with diverse multi-cultural groups of people around the world; and finally her 35 years of personal meditative experience and insight.

In 1985, Ragini began creating the Facticity model after living a year in a spiritual commune.  Over the next 15 years, she refined the Facticity model to its current elegance and precision as the skill of Paradox Management, guided by the help and feedback from over 1,000 participants from various cultures and ethnic origins. 

As the long sought after relationships between psychology and spirituality, and inner peace and identity, began to become clear, she was given the opportunity to test the veracity of her Facticity model with hundreds of willing spiritual seekers, also wanting to understand the nature of duality and why it was so important to creating inner peace.  In 1989, she received her Spiritual Master’s Blessings for the Paradox work and validation of certain points she had come to conceptually but had not yet verified in her own experience.
