SHE SPEAKS SHE HEALS Podcast with Doctor Shannon

"Hey, do you have time to play?" This is what the little boy asked his neighbor. It made my heart smile. In today's episode, I show you that you're never too old to play. In fact, I believe it's vital to play at every age.

How engaged are you with FUN in your life? How engaged are you with PLAY?

Even humpback whales have a ritual for PLAY. Did you know that?

It's right up there with mating, sleeping, and eating.

Do you have a ritual for play?

It's vital to our existence, and our experience of our existence. As well as how fulfilling our experience can be.

If humpback whales need to play, then you and I need to make time to play too.

Find it. Discover it. Do it. Starting today.

Of course I created a little acronym (you know how much I love a great acronym) to help you remember how to play and have fun.

F.U.N.

F: Freedom.

In order for us to play and have fun in life, we must experience freedom. Freedom to be who we are — spontaneous, wild, and free.

And remember, it's not only that you'll find fun in your freedom...but you'll receive freedom in your fun.

Cherish, guard, and value your time, freedom and fun.

U: Understanding.

Understand what you love to do, and how vital it is to your day-to-day life to play and have fun.

It's about being uninhibited, completely natural, unapologetic, unashamed, unafraid, totally wild, free, and fun.

Get an understanding of what you love to do, and what feels fun to you.

What fun and play do you bring to your life?

N: Never saying NEVER.

Our imagination allows us to tap into our fun factor. There's no such thing as "NO" (Unless, of course, Mom says "NO". Ha.)

Nothing's impossible.

Never say never.

Where are you putting the breaks on fun and play in your day?

Find a way to play. Play your day. Have fun in the moment.

No matter what your age, you have a little girl and a little boy (both female and male energy) within you. You're like a little child that's desperately asking to be taken out to play.

Remember the knock at the door, when someone comes to ask if YOU can come out and play?

Hey, can YOU (Woman Sipping On Life) come out and play?

I hope you take this invitation today, and join me.

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

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL

Plan out a PLAY DATE/DAY for yourself.

You can do it by yourself or invite a friend or friends to join you.

If you're experiencing grief, or know someone who is, today's episode will help you tremendously. I share a very personal story, and two major lessons I've learned in grief.

All day I've been feeling like I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to share with you today. I kept thinking, what does "she" (you) need to hear from me today.

Then I sat down at my computer, and I got the email…I knew what I was going to share with you.

I hope my SACRED S.O.L. STORY of grief…Good Grief…makes a difference in your experience of it. Now or in the future.

There are 2 Major Lessons I've learned about grief from the loss of both my parents.

1. Grief is good. Feel it, but don't feed it. If you do, it'll stick around like the stray cats do on the farm.

Let it come like a wave in the ocean. It comes and goes. No matter what happens, the tide recedes.

Allow it to pass over you or through you.

In your feeling, you'll find healing.

Feel it. Heal it. Don't feed it.

2. Love isn't the most important thing. It's the only thing that really matters.

Love yourself. Love those in your life. Love your life. Love your life's work.

With all your heart and soul.

Don't wait.

Feel it. Heal it.

Love it. Live it.

Now.

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

Tell someone you love how much you love, and appreciate him or her today.

Love them.

Stand in front of the mirror and give yourself a big hug. Let yourself know how grateful you are the you're the carrier of your soul. That you have a body that carries a soul. One that has a purpose, and a heart...that's full of love, and has a life's work to do.

Then get going. Do it. Get 'er done, my dear!

What's "enough" anyway? Today I'll show you how to measure "enoughness", and a new way of looking at it.

When looking at "enough," the dictionary uses words like satisfaction, abundance, purpose, need, want, desire, sufficient, suitable, fit, adequate, and as good as necessary.

The three most powerful for redefining "enoughness" are:

1. Needs. 2. Wants. 3. Desires.

According to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs our basic needs are: Physiological, Safety, Love/Belonging, Esteem, and Self-Actualization.

The highest fulfillment of need is the feeling that you're enough. It's when you are being fully YOU, and fully expressed as you.

Do you know what that looks and feels like for you?

What do you really want in your life?

It begins with redefining your wants and replacing them with your desires. So your desires can become your reality.

Where are you on a scale from 1-10 in living the life that you desire?

What would make it a 10 for you?

Perhaps ENOUGH is simply being present to what is, and the desires in your heart.

What if enough isn't about a number, a dollar amount, a size or fit…but that YOU FIT in your life...AND you feel fitting.

There's a sense of fulfillment, because you're AWARE.

What would that look and feel like in your life?

NOTHING will be ENOUGH until you say it's enough.

What does you being good enough really mean to you?

How about dropping the "enough", and simply say I AM GOOD…WELL…

It's really NOT even about "ENOUGH."

Simply, yet powerfully stated, I AM. (You are. We are.)

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. DATE JOURNAL (Daily Action To Engage with yourself.)

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

Rate each of these with a number between 1 and 10. Then ask yourself what it would take for it to be a 10 for you. Especially focusing on the desires of your heart.

1. Needs. 2. Wants. 3. Desires.

I hope this really helps. Get intentionally conscious about your desires and what is enough for you.

Today I'm feeling a little symptomatic. If you've ever felt (or are currently feeling) like you're the spinning, rainbow-colored circle on your computer…you're NOT ALONE. In today's episode I share what's helping me reboot.

When this happens, the first thing I do is a quick SYSTEMS CHECK. If I get "symptomatic" because my body gets run down, there's usually at least one (or more) of these things that are a "NO"...or I'm NOT handling stress well.

I ask myself the following questions:

1. Have I been getting enough rest? 2. Have I been eating well? 3. Have I been exercising well? 4. Have I been getting my regular chiropractic adjustments? 5. How's my stress level?

All of them checked out beautifully with a "YES", except number 2. Often when my schedule gets real intense, I forget to eat.

Yep, it's time to nourish my body well!

For the past weeks I've been feeling like I've had to way too many windows open on my computer (and in my life.)

Remember, your body and life are always talking to you.

One of our SACRED S.O.L. DATE SECRETS is that we're always telling our story. Yes, our lives are always speaking to us…

BUT, ARE WE LISTENING?

I guess I haven't been listening real well lately. Perhaps it's because I'm talking so much. Oops!

It's vital that we listen to our feelings. Even when we can't necessarily put a label on them.

Sometimes it's simply the feeling of, "I'm done." Which is how I've felt the past couple days.

Our feelings (inner knowing) will tell us what we need. They're like the letters, words, and sentences to the stories we're telling.

Today, if this is YOU and you're feeling like you've been spinning a little lately, then do yourself a favor and…

Close Your Windows.

Give your body and mind what they're asking for.

Perhaps it's a nap. Close your eyes. Then open them back up, and close some windows.

Save what you need. Close it down. Sometimes it's one at a time. Sometimes it's a whole group at a time.

Where do you need to close some windows? Or make a mass exit?

Ask yourself WHY you're even keeping some of these things open.

Keep your VISION in mind.

Close and exit.

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

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

Where do you feel like you're spinning a little and have some "windows" that need to be closed?

Write them down. Write out a plan and do ONE thing at a time.

But first…if needed, take a little Happy Nappy and get revitalized, rejuvenated, and refreshed.

Today I'm going to show you a new type of wealth, and how to increase your ROI. WELLTHY... No, it's NOT a typo. This is the wealthy that comes from within you. The value that you are, the value that's your greatest asset. It's you, your life, and life's work. The health, wealth, and healing that's on the INSIDE of you from above, down, inside, and out.

It increases with value as long as you care for, nurture, and grow it.

It'll also decrease if you don't care for yourself.

Are you WELLTHY?

Accumulated wealth from the outside...in, isn't true WELLTH.

True WELLTH comes from the inside out.

When you care for your greatest ASSET — you, your health, your life and life's work…your WELLTH will increase. On the inside…and out!

When you invest the WELLTH that is you, you'll see an incredible return on your investment.

Of course this isn't a guarantee of making millions. However, it's a guarantee that you'll experience a prosperous, strong, fulfilling, WELLTHY LIFE…IF you tap into the WELLTH that's YOU.

Today's S.O.L. STORY illustrates the necessity to pay attention to your WELLTH. Especially in times of greater demand.

You are responsible for your life, and the WELLTH that's YOURS.

Take charge of it…with your choices.

When demand goes up, INCREASE your value and WELLTH.

Don't allow life's or others' demands to cause your WELLTH to decrease.

You get to choose how you invest it.

What do you choose today?

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

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

Answer the following questions:

1. How WELLTHY are you?

Write down how much you value your life. Really feel it...

2. What's your hourly rate?

When choosing this amount make sure it's high enough that it makes you feel a little uncomfortable. However, it's believable for you.

Please stop giving away YOU, your health, and your valuable WELLTH.

You can SHARE it, but please don't give it away. It's your life!

Today I'm attempting to explain "life's work" in a way that will set you free – if you've ever struggled with knowing exactly what your life's work or purpose really is. This episode is going to be a big sip. So big that you may need to chew on it a bit.

This topic of "life's work" has been one that I've wrestled with at some level throughout my life. Even though I felt as though I knew what my "calling" was from the time I was very young.

The journey of my life has taught me so much more than I ever imagined…

Our life's work is not what we do, but who we're being and becoming while we're doing what we're doing.

It's who we are.

Your life's work is who you are!

When you're fully engaged with who you are, your life WILL work.

When I began the process of discovering my life's work, I entered into the art of healing.

At times the process was painful.

But it led me into my own miraculous healing.

I discovered that a healer isn't someone who heals another, but one who has healed or is healing.

When we begin to receive our own healing, we can enter into a life that works, and our true life's work.

My life wanted me to know my "life's work" as badly as I wanted to know it. So much so that my life began telling me the story.

It wasn't until I became conscious enough to actually hear the story, recognize it, and receive the truth about it that I entered into my life's work.

I'll never forget the day that I became absolutely certain that I was (am) a messenger of hope.

Little did I know that this process would take me through some very hopeless terrain that felt very hopeless at times.

I had to uncover, and discover truth that restored the foundation of my TRUTH, center, and core…bringing me back to MY HEART.

After three divorces, I finally acknowledged that I was the common denominator. I had to ask myself what was really going on within me, and dive deeply into my heart for the answers.

I've lived from this very hopeful place ever since.

It's led me to the discovery of my sacred life's work.

And it can do the same for you.

When you awaken the hope that's within you, and become conscious of it, you discover your beliefs, desires, TRUTH…and you can trust it.

Trust the process.

If you're struggling with finding your true purpose…your life's work…following your passion, know this...

Life wants you to know as badly as you want to know.

Are you willing to be quiet enough to actually pay attention and listen to your heart?

Pay attention to what LIFE'S telling you.

Your life's work is YOU...and within you.

When you go within, you will no longer go without.

You'll tap into a power that's profoundly you, and begin to share from that place.

Typically with our life's work, there's a PROBLEM. There's also PAIN involved.

The problem is that most people will attempt to avoid pain, instead of going into it and exploring what the pain is trying to tell them.

When I began to acknowledge and embrace the pain I was able to get answers to some lifelong questions that I had.

Truth got me to live my life's work. It'll get you to live yours too.

Beyond the pain is an incredible solution to a problem.

Your life's work is connected to a massive SOLUTION.

YOU are the carrier of the message of this solution.

When you realize that YOU are the carrier of the SOLUTION that'll get your life working, you'll enter into your LIFE'S WORK.

Go all into the refining fire of your life's work.

You'll come out as a shiny diamond... :)

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

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

Write down your story up until this point in your life.

Stop running from your own story.

What's your story telling you?

Stop being a STORY TELLER, and take time to actually listen to, and figure out, what your story's telling you.

Is your life working and is your life's work working?

When you begin to work…YOUR life's work…your life will work.

What do YOU think? I'd love to hear from you. Do you have any questions or comments? Please let me know what you think.

In today's episode I empower you to get clear about how engaged or disengaged you are with your life. I believe this has the power to help you uncover and discover TRUTHS so you can LOCATE where you are, and engage more fully with life.

What happens when the "ENGAGEMENT" doesn't work out quite the way we thought it would?

Perhaps it's disappointment. Despair. Death. Divorce. Disconnection…Disengagement.

We disengage from our feelings. Our relationships.

We disengage within ourselves.

So, how ENGAGED are YOU?

Do you have a way of testing this for yourself?

Do you feel stuck? Lost? Confused? Alone?

Maybe this is YOU today.

I remember feeling this for over a decade.

Why? I had disconnected and disengaged from my heart.

If you're disengaged from your heart, you won't be able to fully receive the gifts of love and life.

Today I'm going to help you identify specifically how engaged or disengaged you really are.

I've discovered 9 Areas Of Engagement in Life.

Please allow your heart to lead you as you do this exercise.

Rate each of these 9 areas of life from 1-10 (1 = Disengaged. 10 = Fully Engaged + In LOVE.)

1. Love. 2. Spirit. 3. Time. 4. Self. (Self Care.) 5. Thoughts. 6. Growth. 7. Life's Work. 8. Finances. 9. Fun.

Please add up the numbers.

What's your number? This is your Engagement Rating (eRating).

What's most important here is that you've located yourself, and you know where you are. No matter what your number is, you can change it starting today.

Is your eRating at 45 or below?

If so, you're DISENGAGED.

Is your eRating between 45 and 63?

If so, you're SOMEWHAT DISENGAGED.

If your eRating between 64-90?

If so, you're ENGAGED.

Wherever you are, identify it today.

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

Also write down each of the ratings you gave the 9 areas of engagement in your life.

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

1. Make a decision today to re-engage or perhaps to truly engage for the first time.

2. For each of these 9 areas, write down all the resources that you have available to you.

3. Look at the area with the highest number. Make a decision to engage even more in that area.

4. Look at the 3 bottom numbers with the lowest engagement ratings. Identify at least one resource that you have available to you in each of these areas, and tap into them.

Give thanks for your resources.

Give conscious attention, focus, love, and care to the areas that are desperately in need of your love, care, and attention.

Connect and engage in these areas...and in all 9 areas of your life.

If this was YOUR last day of life, would your life know that you LOVED IT WELL? Today's episode is a continuation of yesterday's episode. (EPISODE 066: How To Become The Great Lover Of Your Life.) Having just received the news that someone special has unexpectedly passed away...

It reminds me of that dreaded phone call, when I was told that both my parents were killed in a car accident.

What does it look like to be the great lover of your life? To make love with your life? We never know when our final hour will come, but we can KNOW and LOVE the life that we're living right now in the moment.

What do you desire for your life to become?

What do you think your life desires for YOU to become?

Life is worthy of our LOVE.

We must pursue and care for our lives.

From the inside out…

Are you the carrier of life, or is life the carrier of you?

WE are the carriers of LIFE, and we MUST love it well! The one within us...the one that IS us.

Then we can relate with the one outside of us. The life that sits in before us called, "today." The life that's in front of us.

How well are you loving your life?

In order to LOVE YOUR LIFE WELL, you must:

1. Love your body well. 2. Love your day well. 3. Love your life's work well.

What are you doing with the time you're spending on planet earth?

Time is life, and how you spend your time is how you spend your life.

Are you loving it well?

When you love your life well, your life will love you back.

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

In today's episode I reveal the 5 Engagements of becoming a great lover. If your experience of life isn't the love story you thought it would be, this message will help you create one that is. Your Happily Ever After awaits...

Are you a great lover of your life?

My desire is that by the time we're done with this podcast today, you'll be totally ready to make love with your life!

But first, you must locate yourself.

How are you experiencing your life right now?

Are you experiencing it as a lover or a lost, lonely, disengaged, victim…poor me, soul?

There are 4 Syndromes that'll keep you from becoming the great lover of your life:

1. The Cinderella Syndrome. 2. The Disengagement Syndrome. 3. The Superwoman Syndrome. 4. The Poor Me Syndrome.

Whether you're suffering from one or more of these syndromes, there is a SOLUTION.

YOU MUST BEGIN TO...

Date Yourself Well and stop accepting what you do NOT desire.

Do not accept any more SYNDROMES.

Remember, your poor me story will keep you poor.

It's possible to enter into a love story that's greater than you can even imagine…a life of WOMANCE and ADVENTURE!

No more fantasy or fairytales. Instead, begin to create the love…life you desire.

How?

There are 5 Engagements Of A Great Lover.

YOU MUST...

1. Meet You. 2. Know You. 3. Value You. 4. Be You. 5. Love You.

Are you willing to experience your life as a great lover of YOU, YOUR LIFE, and those you love in your life?

Trade the "Syndromes" for a love story and life of:

1. Certainty. 2. Abundance. 3. Movement. 4. Purpose.

Commit yourself. Unite with yourself. Give and receive your own unconditional love.

Please grab your SACRED S.O.L. D.A.T.E. JOURNAL.

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

1. Answer these questions:

• How are you experiencing your life right now?
• Are you willing to become the great lover of your life?

2. Write down one thing you can do today to meet you, know you, value you, be you, love you today.

Start with: Hi, I am_________________________________.

I'm so grateful to share this time with you. This is the day to begin to fall in love with you and fully engage in your life. Please let me know what happened for you today, and what kind of lover you're choosing to be...

Today's episode is about getting above the problem and plan. So you can go to the next level. If you desire abundant growth and creation, then you're going to have to get to a much higher level of thinking, believing, desiring, trusting, and behaving. THIS is abundance.

Where do you start?

Start with…

1. Your WHY.

What's the reason you're doing what you're doing?

Either there's a problem needing a solution, or a need being fulfilled.

What is it for you?

2. Your WHAT.

What's your VISION?

Do you have a bird's eye?

3. Your How.

Does your how make sense?

It will present itself once you see the WHY in your heart, the WHAT with your eyes (VISION), and then strategize with your brain.

That's when you can begin to formulate a plan of execution.

Don't start with your HOW.

Go deep within your soul. From your desire, you go must go HIGH and stay HIGH. That's why abundance elevates to its level.

Stop waiting in your now, because you don't know how.
