A short introduction to what the Free To Be Podcast is all about.
Here is the transcript:
Hello and welcome to the first episode of the Free To Be podcast.
My name is Shaneen Mooney, and I'm looking forward to opening this podcast as a platform, and as a way of being able to explore the understanding of who we are and of how we are always free to be.
I'm excited to sit down in conversation with people who I've felt influenced, and inspired, and impacted by in a positive way. To look within myself, to find the truth of who I am, and to feel free and expressing that out. And in that process of uncovering my natural sense of self, in uncovering the understanding of who I am - I realised that we are existing in a state of absolute freedom.
We are in essence, free.
There is nothing that we need to do.
There is nowhere that we need to get to.
There isn't anything that we need to become, in order to be free.
In order to express ourselves.
We are free now.
And once I felt this. And I understood it. And I understood it as true.
I had to share this message.
And so the inspiration for this podcast was born.
I knew I needed a way to get this message out there.
Because we can become so lost in the thoughts that we experience. In the ideas and the beliefs that we pick up, that can convince us we are not free.
I knew I needed to share this message. As a reminder, of the truth that we are free by nature.
We are free in being who we are, and even when we're experiencing those thoughts- the beliefs, and the ideas, and the conditioning that tells us that we're not good enough, we're not able to be free, we're not able to express ourselves - we can look within.
To a deeper sense of being who we are. To a deeper understanding. To an understanding that I find impossible to articulate. But it's one that we know it when we feel it.
It's home.
It's being here now.
A state of presence. Of recognising that the entire universe is existing in this moment.
And when we feel it. And we understand that this is who we are. And this is where we exist. The thoughts that come that tell us that we’re not free and that we’re not good enough. Just have less power to influence our behavior.
They have less attraction. And this deeper grounded recognition of the truth of who we are in nature is what can influence and inspire and impact us to behave in a way that feels good. That feels right.
And when we experience that and we dig into that. And we express ourselves from there. We can get a real sense of this freedom that we are, and how it's always available. It's always with us. This state of presence is what we are expressed into. We never leave this place, and to me that is beautiful. That is everything. Knowing and understanding. That we never leave this place.
We never leave this state of presence. And of being free, and of being expressive and of being creative. We are always in this space of presence.
Of freedom.
Of absolute freedom.
And so my intention for this podcast is to record an episode every week.
And it will be a combination of episodes like this, where I talk and share my experiences and understanding.
And there will be episodes where I have conversations with people who I admire, feel influenced and impacted by.
And it's my hope to share them with you every Wednesday. So, I hope that you have enjoyed this introduction to the podcast.
But for now, I'll wish you all the best. Lots of love. Take care. Bye
