Meet Shelley Smith, who survived falling 250 feet off a cliff, breaking her neck, severing an artery, and suffering two brain bleeds. While her body survived, her soul became trapped in what she describes as "the in-between", not fully alive, not fully gone, but existing in a dissociated state for four months.

This episode captures the exact moment Shelley's soul returned to her body during a Ziva Magic retreat, revealing the profound difference between healing trauma in the mind versus healing it in the body.

💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover:

✨ What it actually feels like to be trapped between dimensions after severe trauma and why traditional talk therapy kept her stuck

✨ The exact moment her soul chose to fight for life during a hospital stay and how she battled all night to stay in her body

✨ Why slow, careful movement in trauma centers made her feel like she was "dying faster" and what her body actually needed

✨ How emotional alchemy helped her move from watching her life like a movie to fully embodying it through rage, sorrow, and joy

✨ The breathwork ceremony that reconnected her to the divine and restored her sense of oneness with all life

✨ What this transformation reveals about manifestation being far more than positive thinking or vision boards

We explore the revolutionary understanding that true manifestation happens when we become energetic matches for our dreams by moving through what's stored in our bodies, not just thinking our way to transformation.

Shelley's story demonstrates that your body is the technology for transformation. When we get out of our heads and into our bodies through breath, movement, and feeling, we access our most potent healing and creative force.

If you're feeling burned out, stuck, or not fully present in your life, this episode offers profound hope and a roadmap back to your aliveness.
