Everything you choose today is creating the future you will have tomorrow. What can you do or be today that will create the tomorrow you would like to see? It’s much easier to live by these words than by the destiny you’re “meant” to have. In Access Consciousness, we break destiny and access choice. Instead of destiny, we have creation.

Today, Gary Douglas, Shannon’s father and the founder of Access Consciousness, is on the show to talk about stereotypes, how we sometimes tend to march to the same drum as everybody else, and why we don’t have to buy anyone else’s point of view about how we are “supposed to be.”

Listen to learn about stereotypical points of view, astrotypical personalities, and how you can change your stars. This conversation gives you a place to recognize where you have been trying to seek a stereotype that isn’t actually working because it isn’t who you be. If you don’t live from stereotypes and you don’t try to control yourself through stereotypes, then you can actually live and choose.

How many people do you see who are really creating and enjoying their lives? The mantra of Access Consciousness is: “Everything comes to me with ease, joy, and glory.” Ease, joy, and glory is the foundation of everything we build on in Access.

Glory is an almost old-fashioned word. It’s this word at the end of the mantra that people forget about or don’t even know what it means. Gary Douglas, the founder of Access Consciousness, defines Glory as exuberant expression and abundance of life. How many of you are embodying glory? Have you allowed your glory to wane or dim? What if your life had a radiant quality to it?

Listen to learn what glory means and how you can seek glory in your life. Do you desire to live? And is your life this glorious splendor? True choosing is knowing that anything is actually possible and all you have to do is choose it. What’s it going to take for all of life to come to you with ease, joy, and glory?

What if money could create the world you want to live in? Forests for Futures started as a financial project with the purpose of taking care of part of the forest that’s been reestablished in Costa Rica, but it’s not just about the forests in Costa Rica on the El Lugar property. It’s about a willingness to work for and with the Earth to generate and create its resources.

The Earth is ultimately our body. Everything is borrowed from the Earth and will eventually go back to the Earth, and without the Earth, we would not have our bodies. On today’s episode, Shannon talks about Forests for Futures and an invitation to choose to not give up on the Earth, to contribute to and receive from the Earth, and to restore, invite, and create with Earth energies.

Listen to learn how enjoying and honoring the body is the free way that each and every one of us can contribute to the Earth. What if a happy body could change the world? Will you go on this journey with your body called your life and receive the gifts that having a body has to offer? Let’s enjoy this Earth, not mourn this Earth, and be the gift that creates the world that all of us would like to live in.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you could talk to animals? What if it was actually possible? Access Consciousness offers a class called Talk to the Animals, in which you can learn what it is to have a different connection with animals.

Suzy Godsey teaches this class, and today she joins Shannon to discuss what it means to communicate with animals. Talking to animals doesn’t mean talking at them and expecting them to do what we tell them, but instead, it is a conversation that allows us to have a sense of what it is they are looking for in their relationship with us and also how we can improve our way of communicating with them to create something greater.

Listen to learn how you can strengthen, develop, and explore your animal communication skills, be honoring of animals, and be a contribution to them without treating them as a commodity. What is possible if we claim and own our knowing and actually start receiving from animals?

Are you limiting your future by trying to define, control, project, and expect what the future is going to be and how it’s going to show up? Today, Brendon Watt and Shannon O’Hara invite you to a different world, in which you have the freedom to be. Can you be in the question to find out what’s real and true for you?

Start trusting yourself and trusting the universe. In order to create your life from that place, you have to give in and give up control. When you start doing that, you start getting more of a sense of you, because you’re not creating your life based on what you’re trying to control yourself as.

Listen to learn how you can start truly creating your life through question, choice, possibility, and contribution. Start by making a demand of yourself: No matter what it takes, I’m going to change my life. And then ask the universe to contribute to you and be willing to get it wrong. It’s not about getting it right. Every day is a new day, what can you create?

What future is being created by your choices? Most people don’t realize that every action they take is part of creating their lives as they are. If you look back on your life and see some of the things you have chosen, you begin to realize how you got to where you are.

Today, Shannon is joined by her father Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness, to talk about Actions for Futures and what that means for your life and for the world. Every time you take an action or make a choice, you are actually creating the future you’re going to have to live in.

Listen to learn how choosing for greater opens the door for you to receive, how your point of view creates your reality, and how you can start investing in your future. Actions for Futures is a superfund for possibilities. It is about beginning to see the world you’d like to create.

Do you desire greater consciousness for your relationships? Today, Shannon is joined by her husband Max Zoulek to talk about how the tools of Access Consciousness have contributed to their relationship and how you can have greater awareness with your relationships.

Stuff comes up in every relationship, and every relationship has problems, but it’s about being willing to work through those issues. What would it take to actually function from question, choice, possibility, and contribution? And what if you didn’t have to get it right? What if there was no getting it right? What if it was choice every step of the way?

Listen to learn tools for how to make a relationship work, using Access Consciousness and your own awareness. These tools aren’t just for a marriage, they’re for any relationship. A relationship can only work for you if you acknowledge what’s true for you, first and foremost. What if you asked a question rather than trying to determine and decide what a relationship is?

Is Joy a choice? How many of you have noticed that joy can be a very lacking energy or element in your lives and in the world? Today's podcast is a conversation about Joy. The mantra of Access Consciousness® is: "All of life comes to me with ease, joy, and glory®." What if joy was a superpower? And why aren't you using it?

Listen as Shannon inspires us to discover what true joy embodied can be. Have you been creating your reality based on other people's points of view? And has that been working for you? How much joy are you refusing so you can maintain the problems in your life?

What if you could choose the superpower of Joy?

What power are you avoiding with the pain you’re choosing? What if you were always functioning from the space of infinite possibilities instead of the problem, the difficulty, or the thing you cannot handle? What if you started looking at the gift of everything?

Today, Shannon is once again joined by her father and founder of Access Consciousness, Gary Douglas, to have a conversation that will touch so many people in so many ways, and it’s on the topic of pain.

Listen to learn about Gary’s painful experience with shingles, what he gained from that experience, how pain is power, and what other possibilities are available with pain. What if we recognized the power that we have instead of avoiding it and pretending that we don’t have it?

Have you been trying to fit in all your life? What have you been trying to fit into and is it working? Today’s episode is a conversation about embracing difference. The Access Consciousness X-Men body of work helps people with unique abilities (labeled by this reality as ‘disabilities’) go from having an awareness and not knowing what to do with it to being able to actually use their awareness and embrace their capacities.

Sul Wynne-Jones joins Shannon to talk about his work with Access X-Men and what it means to be weird and different, embrace that difference, and start using it to create rather than judge and resist it.

Listen to learn what other kinds of communication are available and how you can access an energetic awareness that is a different sense of knowing. Are you willing to have the whole picture of what’s going on in the world? Are you ready to acknowledge the magnitude, depth of awareness, and complexity of it and use what’s different about you to create different world?
