Are you in alignment with what you want to create? I have seen this again and again with clients. This part of showing up in a way that is not at the same frequency as where you want to go. Negative self talk, self doubt and out dated belief systems create major blocks to manifesting your dreams. What this comes down to is alignment. Creating a frequency on the day to day that is in alignment with the frequency of where you want to go. This is simple when you get present. When you are in the now, you become aware of the things your body is telling you - physically and emotionally. Our bodies are a wealth of knowledge and always willing to share. Pay attention tot he feelings that come up. Notice repeating thoughts. Even notice pain or irritation that the body has. All of these things are messages about what is happening. The more aware you get, the more you will catch these moments of being out of alignment. Creating an energy of alignment through the simplest things can make a huge difference. Listen to the body and the messages it is sharing. Pay attention to your mindset. Honour the belief systems that are coming up and re-write the ones that are no longer working for you.

Focus on the Solution4/16/2024 Even when you don't know what the solution is! Oh yes you heard me right, you don’t have to know the solution. This is more about the energy shift you make by switching your mindset. Let’s start at the beginning… The divine law this comes from is that of where you put your focus, your energy flows. So, if you focus on the problem, your energy is being directed to the problem and making more of the problem. Do you see the issue with this way of thinking? Now I understand the need to dismantle the problem. This is different until a certain point. Here you are looking at the issue and what are the components of that. For example, an easy one we all know is weight loss. If you are trying to lose weight you can look at the issue of not losing weight and the factors why this is happening. But what you do next is key! At this point, it is important to focus on the solution even if you don’t know what it is. What you are doing by focusing on the solution is you are telling the universe you trust or believe there is a solution AND that it is attainable. In turn this begins to build the energy of the solution helping to open your awareness too the solutions that are being presented to you. Let’s use weight loss again to look at this further. If you stay in the heaviness (no pun intended) of the problem, you will most likely move into an energy of frustration, disappointment, sadness or anger. None of these are helpful energies to work with as they are low vibration carrying a heaviness, sludge or slow down feeling. So, change the perspective with enthusiasm, determination and excitement for the journey. It doesn’t happen in a day, so embrace the road of discovery ahead. A higher vibration will open your awareness, allowing you to see things you didn’t before. Now apply this concept to other parts of your life!

(on Apple Podcasts and YouTube) Inward9/11/2023 When I teach yoga one of the foundational poses we do is Mountain Pose or Tadasana. It is the practice of standing tall and balanced. It is this beautiful place to move from where we feel our strength and stability rooted in ourselves. We rarely take the opportunity to just stand in this pose. Often people are anxious to move to the next thing. Or too busy to be present and feel it. But this week, you are being encouraged to take time like a mountain. Connect to yourself, the earth and to the heavens as you move through your week. Mindset can change your life!10/3/2022 Not that it is really a secret, mindset can change your life.

Yes, you!
I say let me tell you a secret, but the reality is this isn't a secret at all. It's the real talk on spirituality. Everyone is intuitive! We all have the capacity to tap into our intuition. The trick is learning how to get quiet enough to hear, to have tools that assist you in leaning into it. That's why I had a conversation around this on episode #2 of my podcast - Directions from a Spiritual Tour Guide. Slip on over while I spill the tea on how everyone is intuitive!

Drop it in the comments. I did a thing...5/2/2022 Directions from a Spiritual Tour Guide Podcast!This has been on my bucket list for a very, very long time and I finally did it! In my head it would be hard and a mic would be expensive. I asked around what to get and when I looked, I was pleasantly surprised how affordable a mic was. I am sure it must be a good one as my teen came down to my office the other day and freaked when he saw it. He was funny. Gushing over how cool it was - yes, for a glimmer of a second I hit cool mom status!
Beltane, an eclipse gate and new moon was a good sign to take the leap. I fought with technology a bit, but I did it! Thank goodness for a heaping dose of determination. Please take a listen to the FIRST episode - Nice to meet you! An unknown grief10/16/2021 My soul flounders in the feelings of grief this week. The passing of someone who I never met, yet has touched my life. Her story is one that has broken my heart a million times over.
I see the pain in the faces of those who loved her, but could not save her. I have listened to their stories over many years. I hear their desperation and frustration for a lost soul only trying to find her way in a world where nothing truly eases her pain. The feelings I have are uncomfortable and unfamiliar pulling hard on my heart strings, tears echoing in my soul. I hear her crying when I close my eyes and think of her. Over and over her pain rumbles through me. Regret. Yet there is nothing I can do for her or her loved ones as the grief is raw. Her spirit will live on in the beauty of her children who carry her features, mannerisms and memories. The happy moments will be shared with loved ones when they gather to remember her. And she will finally find peace as her tears turn to waves of love. You were lost here, but never up there. May your wings carry you high above the ones you left behind to watch over them. Sometimes5/26/2015 Sometimes...It is nice to know you are not the only one.
Over and over again I am comforted by the words ~ "me too". Knowing someone has been there and done it too, always puts me a bit at ease. That is why I often feel compelled to share. Although to the majority that know me, I come across as a general happy, positive upbeat chick, that is not always the case. Many people would have no idea I suffer from overload on a regular occasion. Please know I do not share this information for pity or for words of support. Instead I share because you need to know you are not the only one. Sometimes, I struggle to get out of bed in the morning. Waking with exhaustion and the overwhelming sense of anxiety about what the day holds. Sometimes I want to spend the day curled up on the couch crying. And sometimes I just want to run away, change my name and join the circus. Yes, I have these kinds of days too! So here is the part where I share my secrets. I have worked hard over the past three and a half years to not let these days overtake my life. I have learned that even when I wake up this way, first and foremost I get up. I am gentle with myself and choose to put a smile on my face, even if I don't want to smile. Slowly the forced smile becomes a happy smile, as I find tiny things throughout my day to be grateful for. These things are there if you just go looking for them. Now I make the choice to make the most out of each and every day. On rough days I make time to do things that will lift my spirit and vibration. I am always gentle and kind with myself, because let's be honest - negative self talk is a slippery slope. I take care of me, making self care a priority - eating healthy, avoiding too much caffeine and sugar, getting to yoga daily and of course making sure I have kid free time (uber important for all us single parents out there). We are all fighting a battle of some sort. Some wear it on their sleeve and others hide it quietly where no one can see. Just because someone is wearing a smile, doesn't mean they aren't having a bad day too. So all in all, know that you are not alone. Reach out. Ask for help. Share. I guarantee someone else shares your pain. Sending you all giant angel hugs! xo I have to start by saying I can't take credit for this analogy. I was out for lunch with my friend Devon last week and she used it. I thought it was perfect and wanted to share.
Women get pregnant everyday knowing that they will endure some of the greatest pain they will feel in their lifetime to give birth to their baby. Even knowing this and experiencing it, we do it again and again. Personally, I did it 3 times and it was absolutely worth every contraction! With labour and delivery, a mother knows that experiencing great pain will allow her to hold her sweet baby in the end. The outcome far out weighs the process hence babies continue to be brought into this world. So what if we looked at spiritual growth that way too. Although it is hard to really know the outcome, could we all just trust that it is going to be great? Could we envision that the pain felt during the falling apart phase of spiritual growth will birth something so much greater than the process it took to get there? I can speak from experience that my greatest spiritual growth has happened after enduring emotional pain. Feelings so deep from inside have surfaced to teach me lessons. Show me the truth. Guide me to a better path. It is during these moments that I often recite the serenity prayer to get me through, as well as remembering one of my favourite quotes ... Although it seems as if everything is falling apart, it is really just falling back together. So next time you are moving through a tough spiritual test remember it's like labour and delivery ... birthing amazing new beginnings. AuthorShanel shares wisdom from the heart and soul.
