June 16, 2020Your Spiritual Purpose
Our true purpose arises when we connect with our inner wisdom and align with our higher selves. -Victoria Shaw
In these chaotic times, many of us are asking ourselves one critical question: what is my purpose? This episode explores what it means to be of service in the world and how we can tap into our own inner wisdom and awaken to our own higher purpose. We also discuss some of the different ways souls are called onto this earth to serve others, and how service is always a choice and not the same thing as sacrifice.
Your primary purpose, as a spirit in physical form, is to live your life with increased levels of joy and awareness and rediscover your own inner divinity while in human form.
Your mind alone cannot give you information about your true purpose, because your mind is saddled with a lifetime of social conditioning that just tells you what you think should be your purpose.
Your purpose can change throughout your lifespan: purpose is just what is true and right for you in the present moment.
Purpose is not always something you do; rather, it is primarily a way of being. When we are aligned with our highest selves while in physical form, we are most deeply embodying our purpose.
Purpose does not have to be a big thing. It can be very subtle. The barista at your favorite coffee bar can literally touch thousands of lives. You can also make a huge impact through a series of seemingly small gestures.
Because we are all connected, when you work through your own life challenges, you pave the way for others facing similar struggles.

One of the best ways to align with your spirit is to awaken your intuition. Check out, my self-paced, online course, Activating Your Intuition, to learn how to tap into your own inner wisdom: https://victoriashawintuitive.com/courses/activating-your-intuition/

June 09, 2020Being vs. Doing
The pandemic that has swept across the globe and has kept many of us in our homes for almost three months, has also given us a unique opportunity to look inside - literally - and become more in tune with ourselves.

This episode explores the delicate balance between being and doing, and how we can all benefit from powering down and becoming one with the present moment. We close with a brief mediation that you can practice anytime you would like to feel more grounded and present.

Key points:
Our society is very action-oriented and does not teach us about the power of presence.
Without the proper balance between being and doing, we might find that our actions feel driven and hollow, without deeper meaning.
Truly inspired action always comes from a place of being: the more we can still our bodies and minds, the more we can connect with our true spiritual essence and begin to act from a more divinely-inspired place.
Those of us who have experienced trauma can sometimes have more difficulty sitting with ourselves and our feelings and becoming more present. It is important to be kind and gentle with yourself and to know that learning to be more present is a process that should not be forced.
Meditation can be a great tool for cultivating presence; however, if we are not mindful, meditation can easily become just another thing that we believe we must master and accomplish. This can actually take us away from the intended purpose of meditating.
We end this episode with a brief meditation to help you connect with that pure state of being whenever you feel called to.

June 03, 2020Talking Transformation with Zofia Morales
Global strategist and former biophysicist, ZofiaRennea Morales, had it all, a high powered career, loving husband, properties, adventure, friends. Until her fast-paced life screeched to a halt. Brought to the edge of death, Zofia was left bankrupt in every area of her life. In this episode, Zofia shares her journey from “muggle to mystic,” and how it took a complete life collapse for her to finally get out of her own way and tune into the call of her soul.

Episode highlights:
Zofia tells us about her upbringing and how she was taught that anything out of the mainstream—intuition, psychic experience, energy healing—was “of the devil”, and how this led her to bury her intuitive gifts as a child until she, like many of us, completely forgot about them.
We discuss muscle testing, and Zofia shares how that was the one “woo woo” tool that she accepted with her scientist’s mind because it was concrete and replicable.
Zofia shares about her “dark night of the soul,” when she finally broke down and asked God for help, and how after that night everything changed for her and the path to her healing began to unfold.
She shares about her sudden spiritual activation and how she became overwhelmed by the sudden onset of psychic experience and feared that she was losing her mind.
We discuss the importance of getting in touch with our emotions and how buried emotions can wreck havoc on our physical, mental, and emotional health.
We learn more about what it means to have a “heart wall,” and why Zofia believes that most highly sensitive and intuitive souls develop heart walls over the course of their lives, and how to use Emotion code techniques to release them.
Zofia shares a profound experience where she first realized that she was a gifted energy healer, and some of the tools and techniques she uses to support her clients on their own healing journeys.

Resources and Mentions:
The two books that Zofia mentions in the article are:
The Emotion Code: How to Release Your Trapped Emotions for Abundant Health, Love, and Happiness by Dr. Bradley Nelson.

May 26, 2020The Truth About Soulmates
Are you looking for your soul mate: that perfect romantic partner who will finally make you feel whole, and complete your life?
The popular myth about soul-based relationships does not tell the whole truth. In this episode, we discuss some common misconceptions about what it means to be someone’s soul mate and explore the deeper meaning of our connections to other souls.
The popular myth is that soul mates are a perfect person outside of us who will ‘fix’ us and make us whole. The problem with this idea is that we are already whole and complete, and the best that another person can do is serve as a mirror to your own inner beauty and magnificence.
We are all spiritual beings in human form; soul mates are people with whom we have a deep spiritual connection, or that our higher self has planned for us to meet during this incarnation.
Relationships between soul mates are not necessarily romantic relationships. Soul mates can also be friends, family members, teachers, colleagues, or even more distant relationships.
Sometimes we spend our entire lifetime with a soul mate, and other times they cross our paths for a more limited period of time. Just crossing paths with a soul mate for an instant can be a transformative experience
Not all soul mate relationships feel joyous and magical. Soul mate relationships can also be challenging! Sometimes we are drawn to a particular soul because the relationship is here to give us an important lesson, or balance karma from a past lifetime.
The relationships we have with one another as spirits are not always the same in our human relationships — some of us would be very surprised to discover who are soul mates are and who they are not!
Our spirits often travel to earth in groups who have reincarnated together over multiple lifetimes. These souls are usually on the same level of spiritual development and are usually working on similar lessons.

May 19, 2020Energy Tools with special guest Robin Friedman
So much of our lives are ruled by our unconscious programming: Beliefs we have learned about ourselves and the world during childhood that continue to affect and limit us as adults. How can you see something that you have never been without? This week’s guest, the fabulous Robin Friedman, shares how to find out what is in our childhood programming and simple tools for shifting our energy.
Robin is an integrative energy practitioner who uses many modalities, including Body Code, Emotion Code, EFT, Matrix Re-imprinting, Hypnotherapy and Life Coaching. Her passion is helping people release the hidden blocks that keep them from their own light, genius and health. She teaches classes online and locally in Portland, Oregon and has clients all over the world.
Episode highlights:
Robin shares about her work and her journey to becoming an integrative energy practitioner

Robin tells us how she experiences her intuition, and how it took her a long time to let go of how she thought intuition “should” work, so that she could tune into the way her intuition speaks to her

We discuss the value of muscle testing, and how this simple tool can help us to tap into the wisdom our bodies.

We learn about how we absorb negative beliefs about ourselves and the world during childhood, and how much of our adult lives is just replaying our childhood programming.

She also explains how anxiety and fears can be passed on through the family line, and how we can begin to release and shift these energies.

Robin shares some of the tools she uses to support people in releasing their unconscious programs, such as Emotion Code, hypnosis, and EFT.

Robin teaches us a simple technique for sensing your sensing your own energy body.

May 12, 2020Am I awakening or losing it: Intuition vs Mental Illness
When I first awakened my intuition, I had some experiences that led me to question my world view and sometimes even my sanity. This episode explores the difference between psychic experience and psychosis, and how we can discern between these two very different experiences. We also discuss the experience of spiritual crisis, that some people experience on the road to their spiritual awakening, and how everyday intuition can impact mental and emotional health when we become overwhelmed by the information coming in and/or tune into the wrong channels.

Highlights in this episode:
Our intuitive experiences can run the gambit between simple gut feelings and full-on psychic experience. At times these experiences can lead us to question whether we might be losing touch with reality.
My basic rule of thumb: If the messages you receive and the experiences that you have are improving the quality of your life in a real and measurable way, then they are most likely your intuitive knowing and not a mental illness.
Mental illness is when we lose touch with consensual reality and/or cannot integrate or make sense of our intuitive experiences and can no longer function effectively in the world.
Spiritual Crisis can sometimes occur as part of a spiritual awakening when our old way of thinking is breaking down to lead to us to a new, and broader spiritual awareness. For some people, this can look like depression, anxiety, or even psychosis.
Some people are “too intuitive.” Their intuitive radars are turned up too high and/or tuned into the wrong channels. In these cases, it is important to learn how to use your intuitive gifts more intentionally to avoid "intuitive overload."

Resources:
Two great resources to learn more about mental illness and how to find help if you need it: NIMH https://www.nimh.nih.gov/health/find-help/index.shtml and https://www.goodtherapy.org/

May 05, 2020The Gift of Intuitive Empathy
Intuitive empaths are old souls, with open and compassionate hearts, who can literally feel the pain of others as their own. Empaths are beautiful and loving souls who are here to be of service during this intense period of growth and change. But to serve, empaths must learn how to harness their beautiful gifts and to honor themselves and their paths, by setting clear and loving boundaries with others.

In this episode we learn:
What makes someone an empath and how are we being called to serve at this time of human development.
Tools and strategies for staying safe, calm, and centered when the world seems to be going insane setting boundaries with others, and why there is absolutely no value in taking on other people's pain.
How to set clear and appropriate boundaries with EVERYONE in our lives, as well as with the energy of the world in general.
Three questions to ask yourself when you experience others in need and are wondering how to intervene.
Why the best way to heal the world is to take care of ourselves!

Resources:

Two of my favorite books on intuitive empaths, are The Empath’s Survival Guide and Thriving as an Empath by Judith Orloff.

Another great way to develop your empathic gifts is to develop your intuition. Check out my self-paced, online course, Activating Your Intuition, at https://victoriashawintuitive.com/product-category/courses/

April 28, 2020Interview with Mica DeSantis
In this episode, we welcome Mica DeSantis who shares about her unique work as an intuitive conception catalyst and healer. This interview was so much fun and I really enjoyed learning more about how Mica supports women on their conception journeys. I also loved hearing her story of how she came to recognize her unique gifts as a healer and helper. Mica also works with men women and children helping them to create any kind of Life redesign and healing through her energy work and what she calls, Soul Coaching.

Here are some highlights:
Mica tells us about her unique way of helping women to conceive and how she connects her clients with their “soul babies.”
We learn what a soul baby is, and how Mica introduces and connects her clients with their soul babies through channelled poetry.
Mica shares how she has had these gifts since she was a baby, and how it took her years to connect with and fully awaken her unique healing gifts.
Mica shares how she can work with highly intuitive and empathic children and teens to help them learn to regulate and manage their own intuition and energy.
Mica teaches listeners how to protect their energy from the negative thoughts and ideas of others, especially medical professionals, who may inadvertently communicate fear-based programming about the conception journey.
We discuss the importance of learning to be present and still and releasing attachments to outcomes.

April 21, 2020Following Your Joy
“Joy is your natural spiritual state and your birthright.”
Most of us want to be happy and experience more joy in our lives, but few of us actually know how to tap into our own naturally joyous state. Following our joy is the path to a more meaningful life because the things that bring us a deep sense of joy also keep us more closely aligned with the call of our soul. Learning to follow our joy will help us live the life that our soul intended for us.
In this episode, we learn the how’s and why’s of following our joy, so that we can experience a deeper sense of enjoyment, ease, magic, and meaning in our life.
Highlights:
Why many of us have learned to block our own happiness, and how to reconnect with our inner joy.
Why the “work now, play later” approach to life rarely helps us find true happiness.
How to discern what truly brings you joy from the mind chatter that tells you what “should” make you happy.
Why our happiness is not dependent on what is going on in the outside world
How joy is the best fuel for productivity
How living in joy attracts more joyful experiences into our lives
Why living in joy is one of the greatest gifts we can bring to the world!

Resources:
Two of my favorite books on cultivating the state of presence which is so crucial for following your joy are: The Power of Now and The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle
