Constantly learning and growing as a Spiritual Teacher

March 12th, 2009

The other day I was talking to one of my dearest friends in the whole world, and something that they said caught my ear, “Shannon, when was the last time you took a workshop to learn something new?”

I absolutely love to learn new things, especially in the healing arts. My friend was right. It had been quite awhile since I had an opportunity to play student in someone else’s classroom arena. Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love to teach others. However, by me learning new techniques, ideas, and tools; I am able to continue to grow as a teacher.

As we exit the quiet Winter months, and enter into the Spring season of change and new growth, what better way to celebrate newness than taking a workshop to further enhance our healing or psychic abilities.

So, from April 3rd - 5th I will be taking Dr. Eric Pearl’s workshop, “Reconnective Healing,” which is based on his best selling book The Reconnection, Heal Others Heal Yourself. I have had the pleasure of having Dr. Eric Pearl on my radio show, The Joy Cafe, and found his book to be completely fascinating. I look forward to experiencing the healing he talks about in his book, and I’ll be sure to keep you all posted on my new experiences.

Bringing balance to a relationship when both parties are over givers.

February 27th, 2009

This week during my reading and teaching sessions I noticed a theme going on with most of my clients. They suffered from that sweet syndrome of “Over-giver-itis.” Basically, they all enjoyed being of service to others outside of themselves. Nothing wrong with this at all, as long as they are making sure to take care of their own needs as well. That was the problem they were all asking about. “I am having difficulties with my relationship. Can you look at what is going on? I want to appreciate, love, and be gentle with my partner…but some how I find myself grumpy, irritated, or just plain exhausted when I am around them. I know I love them, so what is going on here?”

When I tuned into each of these clients, I saw a similiar theme. Each one had connected with another “giver” personality. Who could blame them? We givers are very loving, gentle, generous, and kind-hearted souls. However, when you have two givers in any relationship, one of the pitfalls to watch for is when both parties go out of balance with over giving.

Picture two loving drained exhausted souls with their empty happy mugs pointing to one another saying “My mug is empty. Fill it up please.” Since neither one is charged up, or taking care of their own needs it is impossible for this to happen. Two empty cups still equals two empty cups!

What can one do to assist their relationship to come in balance? First thing first, recognize and validate that you are both very generous and giving souls that are just experiencing a temporary out of balance feeling. Next, look at what each of you can do to assist yourselves into coming back into balance. Ask yourselves “what is it that I need to help fill up my joy mug so I can come into this relationship feeling more loving?” Finally, make sure to spend time with one another when you know you are going to have plenty of energy to share back and forth. Remember this is why you two got together in the first place: your over all generous Spirits.

For those of you who would like to hear more tips on finding balance in this busy world, be sure to check out Sunday, March 1’s The Joy Cafe radio show from 4pm - 5:30pm PST. The topic will be “Finding your Energetic Balance.” My cohost Echo Bodine will share her secrets of finding balance, and I’ll be sharing a couple of my energy techniques I use, as well. Don’t worry if you can’t catch it live, you can always listen to the archive here on the website to the left.

New Intuitive Boot Camp 6 Week Series Starting in March 2009

February 22nd, 2009

Spiritual Teacher Shannon Lee Faulkes is delighted to share that another 6 Week Intuitive Boot Camp series is opening up starting in March 2009. Shannon enthusicatically teaches only 10 students one-on-one at a time. Although, Shannon could take on more students, she has found with experience that capping her private class series at only 10 students allows her to not only provide quality personal attention to each of her students, but also allows her to remain in balance as a teacher.

Do you desire to join in the next 6 Week Intuitive Boot Camp series, but your current budget doesn’t allow you to pay for the class in one payment? Shannon has now created 2 new payment options, that allow you to break the payments down in either two or three payments for a small administrative fee. So, if the financial piece was the only thing keeping you from moving forward, and these new options look like they can work for you please contact Shannon and ask her about the new payment plan options.

Also, are you curious about other students’ experiences with the 6 Week Intuitive Boot Camp series? If so, you don’t want to miss Sunday February 22, 2009’s The Joy Cafe radio show, as Shannon Faulkes and Echo Bodine welcome former Intuitive Boot Camp student Kim Mazzella as their special guest. Kim will be sharing her personal experience with the one-on-one 6 week Intuitive Boot Camp class series.

Kicking out of first gear…

November 4th, 2008

This morning as I was doing my morning cardio routine I had this thought pop into my head from a time in my life when I was a long distance runner. Yes, that was over 20 years ago, but it reminded me of a common pattern many people are known to do in life.

We get comfortable in life, and are afraid to kick into the next exciting gear. Many of us stay in first gear putting along merrily. Oh, life doesn’t get too crazy that way we think. Yes, but it doesn’t really allow us to grow or experience excitement either.

Where am I going with this you’re asking? Oh, my friend let me paint you a picture back when I was just fifteen years old. I had just joined the high school cross-country running team with my best friend. Little did I know what I was getting myself in to at the time I signed the waiver saying I was healthy enough to do this insane sport. I mean this coach actually had us do anywhere from 3 to 14 miles of practice runs each week prior to our 3.1 mile meet competitions.

I have to be honest I first joined this sport for pure socialization. I was excited that I was going to be able to travel out of town on meets, and eat in restaurants without my parents and sister tagging along. Also, I was able to hang out with high school students, which was pretty exciting to someone who was coming up daily from the Junior High School.

I have to say I never really took the practices too seriously at the time. In fact, I giggled, laughed, and putted along on each practice run with my best friend. The coach would drive in his car checking up on the runners, and would frequently shout out the window for my friend and I to get moving faster as we were the stragglers of the group. I am certain that he was quite frustrated at our lack of drive.

So, you can imagine that when the first official meet came my best friend and I were not mentally, emotionally, or even physically prepared for this event. In fact, because we had both joined late we didn’t have enough practices to wear the uniform. They had provided us a pair of sweat pants that were so large they came up past my breasts, and an over size t-shirt that went past my thighs. My friend and I, in our over sized gear giggled and laughed on the bus thinking we were just along for the ride. We didn’t know that the coach had planned on having us run this event for a practice run. Can you imagine the look in our big blue eyes when the coach said, “All right girls go to the starting line you are both running this event! Now get in line with the others.”

When the gun went off, I remember holding up my sweat pants cursing in my head going “No way! I just came along for the ride! I just came along for the food at the end of the event! I didn’t think he’d make me run it.” I remembered running up the hill and seeing football players point and laugh at my oversize gear. I was embarrassed, angry, and royally pissed off at the coach for putting me through this torture.

As the race continued I watched my best friend start crying and telling the coach her side hurt. She was told to walk it off for the rest of the race. I was thinking I’d like to find the nearest telephone pole, and knock myself out forcing me to not have to finish the race. Yes, I was not a happy runner. My over size gear and the hot penetrating sun just caused my inner teapot to come to a complete boiling whistle. I did what any spoiled frustrated teenager who felt powerless and like a failure would do. I walked the rest of the race cursing every two steps “I hate this stupid sport! I hate running! I hate the dumb coach! I hate this stupid race.”

Little did I know, that the crowd in the stadium was waiting for me, the pokey little grumpy runner (I use that term lightly) to finish this race. For the other runners were not allowed to begin until I had been cleared off the course. A normal race is over in 30 minutes or less. I was just coming in to the finish line barely at 56 minutes holding a frown and my sweat pants up with one hand. I came in with a really bad attitude, and boy did I get to hear about it from the coach.

You’d think with the pep talk that I received from the coach that my attitude towards running would change, but being the stubborn budding socialite I continued to slack during practices. This slacking and lack of true commitment showed during the first three meets as I continued to come in dead last. Everyone on the team expected me to come in last, and I proved them right each and every time.

This pattern of staying in first gear continued until my 4th cross-country meet where I chose to talk to my best friend during the instructions for the course. I happened to miss some crucial rules that happened to be a blessing in disguise.

The gun went off as normal, and this time in a uniform that fitted my tiny stature I took off running at my normal first gear pace. Everything was going completely normal until somewhere during the race I believed that I was almost at the finish line. I excitedly started to run faster enthusiastically ready to finish this race. As I continued to run I noticed I was passing lots of people, and I remembered thinking “what is wrong with those people, why are they going so slow? The race is almost over.” I powered all the way to the finish line thinking “yes! Its over!” but was disappointed to hear my coach say “Shannon, you still have a complete lap around the entire golf course to go, get going, the race isn’t over yet!”

“What! I have another complete lap to go? I thought we only had to go around 2 times, not 3 times!” Had I listened to the instructions at the beginning instead of chatting with my best friend I would have known this. I was so embarrassed that I swiftly took off running faster than I had ever run before in a race, and it felt good. I managed to finish that course in 24 minutes and some odd seconds. I didn’t know I was even capable of doing this. My own abilities shocked not only my coach, but me as well.

The following week there were over 200 racers at a large invitational event, and I, for the first time had switched gears into actually committing and fully being in the race. When the gun went off, I took off, and ran like I had never done in the past. It felt good, and even better when I crossed the finish line in 6th place winning a ribbon for my efforts.

All this time, I had it in me, but was afraid to push myself out of my comfort zone. How many of us do that in our lives? We settle for security or the comfort zone instead of going for a life filled with passion and growth.

So, why not look at your life right now, and ask yourself is there an area that you are coasting along in first gear? Is there an area where you desire to feel more passion or newness but you are afraid to shift gears due to fear of the unknown?

Why not take that risk. Love deeper than you ever have before. Play harder than you ever dared. Whatever it is you desire to change, just simply do it! By switching out of first gear you, too, just might find you have an award winning life enthusiastically waiting for you.

CBS Psychiconair Radio Guest

November 1st, 2008

I had my own special Halloween treat this morning as I was invited to be a guest on the CBS radio show, “Innerviews with Kimmie & Steve.” If you want a good chuckle you may visit www.psychiconair.com and check the 10/31/2008 archives. My interview with Kimmie and Steve took place the second hour. I was both tickled and nervous as I followed one of my favorite spiritual teachers James Van Praugh. That was quite an honor, as I remember learning so much from his workshops and books in the past. I just love his energy and humor.

While I was on air I had another brilliant reminder from the Universe just how important it is to turn within to get to the heart of the matter. For when we deal with our inner world, the real healing may take place.

One woman called into the show asking if her boyfriend was going to send her back home 2 weeks early. She had said that when her boyfriend mentioned the possibility of her getting sent home early she had all kinds of emotions come up in her body. Now, I know all she really wanted at the beginning was a psychic yes or no answer, but my guides encouraged me to look at this from another angle. I wanted to show her that her boyfriend gifted her a beautiful healing opportunity.

You see, our bodies communicate to us as Spirit with emotions. These emotions allow us as Spirit to know what is going on with our bodies. These emotions are so important to listen to as they can assist in avoiding future ailments or creations we truly don’t desire to create.

The strong emotional response this woman had told me that there was something internal that was ready to heal and be released. When I tuned in, I saw the stuck emotions of “rejection” and “insecurity” stuck in between her 3rd and 4th chakra. I had asked her if she was experiencing tightness around her sternum in which she profusely admitted that it had indeed been tight all week long.

I get excited when I assist others in seeing the stuck emotions, as they can effortlessly release them by sending the stuck emotions down their grounding cord. To do this spiritual technique, all you have to do is visualize an energy cord from the base of your spine going straight in to the center of the Earth. Attach this cord to the Earth’s core, and simply visualize the stuck emotions dropping down this cord. This assists in instantly healing your world. When we shift our inner world, the outer world will then mirror that back.
