SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

Today's S.O.L. Story comes from a dream I had last night. After writing for more than 2- 3 hours, this is what I discovered about DREAMS:

1. Dreams happen between sleep and awake. You must choose to WAKE UP.

2. Dreams bring people together.

3. Dreams change people and changed people change the world

4. Dreams wake people up and feel exhilarating, yet RESTFUL.

Okay, I'm going to sleep now…so I can choose to WAKE UP again. That's the FUN part.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

What BIG dream do you have?

Are you willing to WAKE UP and LIVE IT?

Are you willing to LOVE IT into REALITY?

Take ONE creative step today…

WAKE UP!

Today I identify 5 things that you may be carrying around your neck, that are a symbol of what you're carrying on the inside of you.

As a chiropractor, I've studied and worked with the spine and nervous system since the early 90's. I know how important the neck is to life!

WHY?

Because it holds the life giving spinal cord coming directly off the brain. It IS your life.

I can't begin to tell you all the health problems I've seen over the years that can be traced back to what's happening in the nervous system, due to what's happening in the NECK.

The neck carries the equivalent of a bowling ball around all day long…every day.

But what about the other loads that you're carrying around your neck?

Over the years I've said to countless numbers of patients: "You're carrying around a load you were never meant to carry."

Perhaps that's you today…

What are you carrying around your neck?

1. A yoke of heaviness? 2. A leash of captivity? 3. A noose of neglect? 4. A rock of suffering? 5. A beautiful necklace of value and life?

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Ask yourself:

1. What am I carrying around my neck?

Identify it today.

2. Where's it coming from?

3. What are you going to do with this new insight?

You can take OFF whatever it is.

Free yourself, my dear!

Or, you can put on whatever you choose to wear today, but you're the one who gets to decide!

Today I identify 4 types of action that can bring beauty to your life:

1. DistrACTION.

2. SubtrACTION.

3. AttrACTION.

4. SatisfACTION.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Take a very honest look at all the ACTION in your life and ask yourself:

1. Is this distraction?

2. Where can I employ the art and action of subtraction?

3. Are you pursuing anything in your life that you could attract, by simply pursuing your own heart and soul?

4. How satisfied are you right now with your life — and all the action and attraction within it?

Today we're going to get very clear about WHAT, and WHY It, matters most to YOU…

To Do. To Day. To Now. To Later. Whatever your "List"…what matters most is why you're "Listing" in the first place, and why you're not LIVING…first.

As I was preparing my day, I grabbed one of my favorite pens, and a brightly colored planner — bright yellow to be exact — and I began to make a list of plans.

However, while I wrote, I began to think about WHY I was doing WHAT I was doing.

What made the list and what didn't?

When would the "Later List" become my "Now List"…etc…

It got me thinking. It got me wondering about YOU.

How often during the day do YOU create a "List?" (And check it twice?)

Have you ever asked yourself "WHY?"

This is going to be a short and sweet one today…

I would like YOU to answer these questions for yourself and LISTEN to your LIST:

1. Why am I doing this?

What's the vision for this mission?

Why are you putting it on a list versus putting yourself in action.

2. Does it really matter?

3. Do I believe in this?

(And does it match up with what I really desire?…)

4. Do I love this?

5. Why today?

6. Why NOT today?

7. Why LATER?

(Btw, has your "Later List" become your "Should List?")

8. Am I really committed?

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Take a look at your LIST today, especially your "Later List," and get very honest with yourself as you answer the above 8 questions.

I'd love to hear what you discover...

As a clock ticks, and time goes by, so does you and your life. However, do you know the meaning of your life? In today's episode, I lead you on a path of discovery...and show you 3 ways to get your life ticking.

Time passes very quickly...but YOU can do something with it.

The most meaningful is discovering the meaning of it.

This is what I've discovered about the meaning of life...

It's how we find meaning, and what we give "meaning" to in our days —as well as how we see ourselves fulfilling our purpose here on planet earth.

It's vital that we tap into what's meaningful to us on a daily basis.

Don't wait for tomorrow. Time passes so quickly, as you know.

Pay attention to what has heart and meaning in your days...

Do you know what makes YOU tick?

Here are 3 ways to get your life TICKING…

Not unlike a clock, it makes a sound AND it has a function…a purpose.

YOU DO AS WELL. SO DOES YOUR LIFE.

1. Discover what you love.

Pay attention to what inspires you.

Celebrate it.

Take whatever time is necessary to consciously acknowledge and celebrate this for yourself.

Your attention is your time…is your life. Pay it to what pays you back.

Period.

2. Share it.

Where there's tick, there's talk.

When you tap into your inspiration, you'll find yourself naturally expressing it.

Share your passion, meaning, purpose, passion, and energy...

It will inspire others to discover what makes their heart tick too.

3. Do it.

Nike says it well.

Inspiration in action versus the action of distraction.

That's it.

Live your love...life and make love with your life. It will love you back.

Focus on what gives your life meaning, and what meaning you give your life.

What gives your life meaning?

What meaning do you give (and discover) in your day?

What makes you tick?

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Take some time today to begin to journal about what inspires you.

What it is that you love?

What you desire to experience in your day to day life?

What inspiration are you bringing to your day?

What makes you tick?

What gives your life meaning?

What meaning do you give (and discover) in your day?

I would LOVE to hear what you discover...

Today I share 11 powerful keys to OWNING your voice, and transformation.

This morning I did a FB LIVE, and brought on 3 special guests to join me as we talked about HOW TO OWN YOUR VOICE.

Are you willing and ready to own your voice?

Here's the TRUTH that was revealed…

1. Speak with your OWN voice.

Speak YOUR truth.

2. Remember that you also have a voice within you.

Listen to it. Listen to your heart.

Speak from there.

If you do, you'll speak UP.

If you don't, you'll speak DOWN.

We speak UP from your heart. We speak down from our head.

No matter what, know that you're NOT alone.

3. Open up and share…even when you feel the fear.

Once you speak up, fear will not.

The more you express yourself, it's simple and easy.

4. You no longer need to look for what's already there.

Simply recognize it.

OWN IT.

Express it.

5. Your ownership makes you WORTH IT.

TRUTH is valuable. So are YOU.

6. Believe it.

The more you speak it, the more you'll believe it.

7. Pay attention to love and truth.

When we pay attention to LOVE, the truth comes.

Allow your truth to speak, and express herself.

We're all Messengers…really.

8. Take the next step. It's simple. And when you get scared, STOP for a moment. Recognize truth.

Speak it.

AND…take another step.

9. Move ahead.

Take another step. Keep going.

Moving forward isn't the same as moving ahead.

10. Show up afraid. Keep doing it.

When you do, what you need will be there.

AND…

What you desire, you will create.

11. MOVEMENT.

Join in the MOVEMENT.

When we MOVE, like the waves, we're heard.

Naturally.

WITH EASE.

Turn your SCARED into SACRED.

You CAN do it.

Are you doing it?

Are you moving and flowing in it?

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Go through your List of Eleven…and make a commitment today to OWN YOUR VOICE.

Write, "I OWN MY VOICE."

Take a step ahead TODAY.

Until you go into your darkness, you won't be able to fully experience the YOU that's desperately and divinely looking for YOU. She desires to be heard.

Yes, the birds were back again early this morning.

Oh my goodness, and this time it started at 2:09!

Then it stopped and this precious little bird brought a buddy back with him about an hour later. They sang together.

These 5 SACRED STEPS will help you begin to fully experience and express your voice:

1. Are you willing to bring LIGHT into the darkness?

(Listen to the previous 2 podcasts. This will help you tremendously.)

Yes, you must fear it to find it.

Fear is reverence. Honor and respect it (YOU) as sacred.

2. Are you willing to SING IN THE DARK? Find your voice in the dark places.

3. Are you willing to WAKE SOME PEOPLE UP while you sing?

Speak up. Regardless whether it's on someone else's timeline or not.

They will either sing with you or they won't.

4. Are you willing to feel uncomfortable and keep singing?

Once you begin to wake some people up, they're going to notice and see you.

Will you keep singing, even when it may feel "unfamiliar"?

5. Are you willing to share your story — what would you like to share?

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Answer these 5 questions, and begin to journal out the answers on the inside of you.

Begin to express your voice on paper.

Begin to let it out.

Take what's deep within you — in those dark, deep places — and begin to express it, and get it out into the light so you can see it in front of you.

Then begin to share it.

I'm going to be inviting listeners onto the program. If you have a story you'd like to share — a song to sing (but not a Poor Me Story) — send me an email at: [email protected] and put SHARE MY STORY in the subject line.

Briefly share your story, and I'll be selecting listeners to share their inspiring stories of truth here on the podcast.

What do you think? Are YOU ready to share your story?

Birds sing, and they also FLY. Are you willing to FLY?

Your fear is coming from WITHIN. Make friends with it by bringing it into the light. Today I expose the 4 fears within you...

1. The judged. 2. The misunderstood. 3. The unknown. 4. The unloved.

Darkness symbolizes the unknown or the unexposed. It's time to wake up and expose what's in the darkness. It's time to find the light in the middle of the dark night...

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Take a look at your life, heart and soul, at YOU…look in the mirror, into your eyes — the windows of your soul.

Look at any fear you have in your life…within you...and ask:

1. How am I judging myself? 2. How am I not understanding myself? 3. How am I not knowing myself? 4. How am I not loving myself?

Make a commitment today to accept, understand, get to know, and love yourself today, so you can love your life and life's work well.

Turn your fear into love, and watch what happens in your life.

Today I'll ask you 7 questions that'll help you uncover fear in your life, and discover freedom.

Do you remember being afraid of the dark as a child? Perhaps even as an adult you feel the fear that darkness can bring.

Darkness symbolizes the unknown or the unexposed.

These 7 questions, and your answers, can help you KNOW and EXPOSE some things that'll shed light on your life.

Are you ready?

Grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself) if you're able to do so right now. If not, take time to journal later.

1. Do you find yourself worrying versus wondering?

2. Do you put the opinions that others have about YOU, above the opinion you have of yourself?

3. Do you use the words: Should, but…, Would, but…, Could, but… often?

4. When you think about the future, do you feel delight or dread?

5. Do you find yourself "waiting for the shoe to drop?" (Especially when things are going well.)

6. Do you play "not to lose" versus playing to win?

7. Do you love yourself?

If the answer isn't a certain, resounding YES, then chances are there's FEAR somewhere in your life.

Remember that the opposite of love isn't hate, it's fear.

Are you willing to address FEAR today and call it out?

If so, be courageous…honest…and grateful…because on each side FEAR there are incredible, invaluable lessons for you…and me.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage yourself.)

TODAY'S SACRED S.O.L. STEP:

Are you afraid? Write down what you're afraid of…

Write out the answer to each of the questions above in your journal.

Discover this for yourself (about yourself:)

A) Are you afraid?

B) What are you afraid of?

C) Are you willing to free yourself today…not fear yourself?

Sometimes all that's needed is to turn the lights on.
