Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:03):
Hi, thank you so much for joining me today.
I'm Shannon and this isStarseed Evolution, bringing the
wisdom and insight of thecosmos to you.
I'm grateful that you'relistening For our first episode
together.
I'd like to share who I am, mypersonal and professional

(00:28):
background and my intention forthis podcast.
My intention is to create aspace for spiritual growth,
consciousness, evolution,creative spirit, inspiration and
hope.
The basis of this podcast isborn both from my own personal

(00:51):
spiritual journey as well as myprofessional work in the world.
Although I'm not necessarilyattached to labels, I believe
having my background helps youunderstand the foundation of my
approach.
For the last 25 years, I've beenpracticing as a licensed

(01:12):
massage therapist, reiki masterteacher, certified spiritual
director, cranial sacralspecialist, meditation teacher
and creative writer and artist.
I work both individually inperson with clients, as well as
teaching online to groups.

(01:32):
My personal journey throughlife and all of its twists and
turns, as well as myprofessional growth, are
interwoven into aninterconnected spirituality,
creativity, physical awarenessand a blended tapestry of living
in this world of listening,with the heart, the mind, the

(01:58):
gut and the soul all havingtheir say in informing how I see
the world, not just from theearthly aspect of things, but
also from that cosmic body ofthe mystery.
What I'd like to do is dedicatethis podcast to bringing all of

(02:19):
these ideas and teachings aboutlife, about spirituality, about
approaches to working withMother Earth through our journey
here that you might findsomething that also inspires you
and helps you on your path.
I'd like to share with you allthe things that I'd like to

(02:41):
bring on to this podcast overthe coming weeks, months and
hopefully, years about humanconsciousness and spiritual
evolution.
Spiritual evolution I'll bespeaking about poetry and all of
its different forms and how itcan help us approach our world

(03:02):
by connecting with that creativevoice of different authors and
teachers who speak throughpoetry.
I'd also like to bring in theapproach of spiritual direction,
which allows us to ask deeperquestions without always having
the answers.
The answer for each personindividually is awareness and

(03:26):
discernment in their own pathabout what's happening during
different circumstances.
Not all of us will have thesame approach to solving our
problems, so spiritual directionand bringing this kind of
questioning allows each of us,no matter who's listening, to

(03:48):
broaden and deepen theirunderstanding of themselves and
maybe how to choose thedirection that is best for them,
with different questions thatmight be coming up in life.
I'll also be sharing Reikihealing sessions through guided
journeys, where I channel energyfrom universal spirit through

(04:14):
my guided visualizations tobring healing about different
things that you might be facing,whether it's heartbreak or loss
, or discovering the new stepsfor your path.
I'll also be sharing differentguided journeys that allow you

(04:34):
to connect with your mind,connect with your heart, connect
with your soul or your spirit.
Guides that help you bring moreknowledge into yourself about
who you are.
Another topic that I'll besharing about frequently is
about being an empath or highlysensitive person and the tools

(04:59):
that we can connect with to helpour journey in this challenging
world, where sometimes theharshness can be overwhelming.
So, as empathic or highlysensitive people, what tools can
we use to care for ourselves?
One of the ways that I connectwith my spiritual self is also

(05:20):
through creativity and creativewriting, so I'll also be sharing
stories that I've written sothat you might find
entertainment or learning.
Through the different parablesthat I bring forward, we'll also

(05:44):
have wisdom and insight toexplore an interfaith approach
to spirituality, no matter ifyou're religious or not, or
spiritual or not.
For me, just being present forourselves on this earth is a
spiritual experience, and all ofthose different paths can lead
us home to ourselves.
One of the things that'sclosest to my heart is

(06:07):
connecting with Mother Earth andall of her teachings from her
animals, her trees, her plants,her bodies of water, this living
being that we are walking upon.
So I'll also be sharingceremonies that I guide people

(06:28):
through so that you might enjoythese ceremonies and connecting
and grounding with Mother Earth.
One of the many things that'shelped heal me through my life
are mantras from differentpractices.
These different mantras thatwe'll sing together can help

(06:49):
create change in our whole body,and so I'd like to share some
of these mantras with you aswell Throughout our journey.
On the podcast, I'll also befrequently talking about our
different spirit guides that wecan connect with Angels,
guardians, archangels, fairies,ancestors, our spirit guides and

(07:15):
master teachers all of thosedifferent energies we can
intuitively connect to to helpus on our spiritual journey here
, as you might have guessed bynow, is that from this extensive
list of all the things that I'dlike to offer through this
podcast.

(07:35):
It will definitely not be alinear experience, just like
life is not linear.
As an interfaith spiritualdirector, I believe that all
paths each person brings canlead to the wisdom of our
spiritual growth and connectionto the larger body of energy

(07:59):
that we're all connected to.
Ultimately, I'd like all of usto look at being guided through
love, love and compassion fromthat higher perspective and
wisdom of the cosmos, of thestars and what they can teach us
through our ancestry andheritage, as well as into our

(08:23):
future selves.
When we think beyond just ourown personal journey, my own
life is stitched togetherthrough strength and mindfulness
of Buddha, wisdom and centeringof yoga and her beautiful
mantras, through the teachingsof indigenous nations who teach

(08:46):
us the beauty of ceremony, theCeltic pagan connection to
seasons and the moon and harvestand winter, the Jungian healing
of the mind as a whole and thespiritual laws that guide us
into compassion and kindness.

(09:07):
Ultimately, I look forward toour adventure together.
Thanks for being on thisjourney with me and I'll see you
next time.
Me and I'll see you next time.

(09:28):
This is Starseed Evolution.
I wish you a beautiful day,namaste.
