The Shamums: Recent Episodes
DD + LL
Two modern mum's bearing their Souls on how to thrive spiritually both as women and for their families.
Our heart is the centre connection of omnidirectional forces of love. In order for us to use it at its greatest ability, we require a journey of self discovery on our ability to be love, hold love and give love.
This ongoing journey is one that we can support ourselves through with daily steps and practices that will allow us to explore and expand the capacity we can hold for love.
We have the ability to correct interferences in the heart, to connect to higher spiritual intelligence and to override any layers of protection and limitation.
We discuss how you can learn how to open your heart and use the force available to make choices in your life from a place of authenticity.

When our mind deviates to automatic negative thoughts, we live in a state of negativity and all that aligns with this.
The voice behind the negative thoughts is referred to as the inner critic- judgemental, criticising and demeaning.
How can we become aware of this voice in relation to our own thoughts? And more importantly how can we address its impact so we can minimise its daily input?
We discuss how to live alongside the inner critic using Shamanic, somatic and real time practices

So much of what we do is down to our gut health. Our mood, our energy levels, our connection to our intuition...
In this episode we discuss the factors at play that contribute to the health and vitality of our gut and ways we can reshape and renew our physical and energetic bodies to align optimally in our gut.

When we are working in harmony with the Universe and the greater availability of co-creation, part of the process is to recognise what we are holding on to. Sometimes it is in a relationship, sometimes in career or even old habits.
We are discussing all that is behind the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual aspects of holding on and how we form attachments.
How can you see where you are holding on?
How can you determine attachments from what is for your greatest good?
We also discuss methods we have used to assist in recognition and support and ways to remove them.

What one of us is feeling, all of us are feeling and this has become very apparent to us through our friendships, careers and spiritual work.
We're living in a time of accelerated energetic changes and shifts which can sometimes feel overwhelming and ungrounding while we live out our day to day.
We talk about how we can acknowledge what is surrounding us and allow our inner world to process the changes and shifts so we can continue to personally benefit within the collective.

Modern day expectations on women either within the family, as a partner or within career, can very swiftly lead to burnout.
The level of output we face day in day out is rarely matching with wellbeing input but we can set intentions to achieve daily/weekly/monthly harmony through small steps towards restoring inner balance.
We discuss simple ways to build the restoration of wellbeing in to your life to relieve stress, prioritise family health and how we use these tools in our families.

On and individual and collective basis we all have experience of trauma.
This affects us not only physically and emotionally but also on a Soul level. The repair of trauma and its impact must include the repair of the Soul to full embody healing and recovery.
We discuss what Soul loss/Soul fragmentation is and how we can apply soul retrieval to heal ourselves, embody our highest frequency and sustain our progress to our whole, aligned selves.

The Law of Rhythm states that everything flows up and down, in and out just like the tides of the ocean. Everything in our world has a rhythm and often we have become dis-associated to attune to our own internal rhythms and cycles which in turn affect our outer world.
In this episode we discuss how to pay attention to your own rhythms and cycles and ways you can honour this universal principle.

One of the most significant components to Shamanism is Shamanic Journeying. The ability to access the spiritual realm through a deep, relaxed state. In some Shamanic cultures, mind-altering substance or ecstatic-like states are used to access Journeying.
In this episode, we discuss the sober, fully accessible method of connecting to the spiritual realms and our recent experiences of Journeying to show how this healing practice plays out on the physical world.
Some of the topics we cover are:
-
How to begin Journeying
-
How Journeying can be used yo access times in your life to gain clarity
-
How Journeying can shift your physical reality
-
Ways you can use Journeying to clear blocks in your life

When we become aware of where we are stuck in life, we may struggle to find resolution especially if we are coming up against the same blocks over and over.
Breaking this down in to 4 categories - emotional, physical, mental and spiritual- means we can look at the root cause and apply our own tools to overcome the block or blocks.
We discuss methods we use with clients in mind, body and Soul as well as our perspective in motherhood and its own set of recurring blocks.
We reference our Chakras episode which you can find back in Ep 15 and our intuition episode which is Ep 02.

Life can often roll on at a pace where everything becomes overwhelming and we can not decipher where to bring in some time or energy for ourselves to ensure we are best serving ourselves physically, emotionally, mentally and energetically.
We talk about the 10 practices we use in our daily lives to not only bring ourselves in to alignment, but to bolster and expand our energy to continue to grow with life experiences.
We discuss how we bring this in with parenting and how to communicate to our children through energetic practices.
On this show we recommend some vibrational tone music at 432hz. You can find links to this below:

When we feel like there is a part of ourself blocking our path forward in life, we are often provided with the process of trust and surrender.
Letting go of what holds you back is part of the Shamanic path to wholeness, alignment and Sovereignty.
This may be beliefs, people, identities or even repeat situations you find yourself in. We discuss the ways you can apply a Shamanic approach to let go of what you no longer need and how you can apply grace with the process.
We discuss guided mediation on the episode which you can find out more about through our previous guest we had, the lovely Pippa Neve. You can find out more from Pippa at hello@pippaneve.com

We can all benefit from energetically reseting our personal, home and work environments. One technique the ancients used and which is still popular today, due to how effective it can be, is smoking or smudging. We discuss how, where and why you may want to look in to adding this to your daily routine.

Spiritual Awakening is the umbrella term for the ego transcending the closed reality of self into a merging with greater consciousness. It may be spontaneous or over a long period of time, making you feel confused, alienated and alone.
Dan and Lou discuss their experiences, the levels of awakening and some best practices to move through one.

Many of us will have preconceived concepts of Angels. You may feel you have an awareness of their presence around you or sometimes you feel deeply connected to an Angelic presence in times of change in your life. Whether you believe in them or not, they are around us.
In this show we welcome out first guest! The Angelic Pippa Neve and Lou discuss Angels in all their forms and how we can generate a greater connection to these messengers. We look at the ways Angels communicate with us and speak about the simple way you can connect to your Angels right now.

Our chakras are our free flowing energy centres of our body. They exist to ultimately align us with Source and provide our highest conscious connection when fully balanced and expressed.
They are impacted by our daily lives and may become blocked or become over active and leak energy. We discuss the ways we can access balance and cultivate our own personal experience in returning to harmony to excel our physical, emotional, mental and spiritual connection to ourselves.

Our dreams are our link between the physical world and the spiritual world, giving us an insight in to our true selves. Dream interpretation was used by the ancients to aid and support both the individual and the community in many ways ranging from preparing for pivotal life events to sourcing food in extreme conditions.
We discuss the ways to explore your dreams from any level and how we can access deep insights around our life.
Our guides are a universal force that are here to help lead us through our own unique path. They are an intelligence, an informational stream available to us in any moment if we make the choice to connect.
So how do you enter in to communication with them? We discuss the various range of guides that you may already be aware of in your life and ways you may attune to others that are waiting on the opportunity to offer you assistance.
In this episode Lou breaks down the work that she does within an individual energy ceremony and what modalities are used to generate a shift in frequency for the person. She gives details about what occurs in the ceremony and beyond, who she works with and how to achieve the most out of the ceremony.
We exist in a society that its dominated by the ego. However our awareness and our connection to this dead energy construct is slowly beginning to unravel, which is deeply beneficial to the creation of the collective Higher Consciousness.
We cover what is the ego + Higher Self, how have we come to this point in time and how to embody + cultivate a greater relationship to your own Higher Self.
Living in a Universe of polarity means opposing forces exist. As we live a spiritual life recognising and connecting to the presence of Angels, Guides and Source - so we must educate ourselves around their counterparts. Entities are prevalent in everyday life whether we choose to acknowledge them or not. We discuss what they are, how they attach to hosts, what their objection is and most importantly how to protect ourselves.
The expansion and growth of our Universe is unable to occur without duality - the nature of the Universe. Within this duality is the opposing forces of Light and dark. We discuss this impact internally within the individual and externally in our structures and concepts that have been designed to suppress Light and connection to Source.
Movement is medicine for the body, mind and Soul. We discuss the ways in which the body can move optimally and how we can provide release in our physical bodies in movement form for our emotions and feelings.
We bring up the relation between anxiety, stress and depression and how this correlates to physical pain. We also explore methods of release through stretch, breath and meditation.

Bringing awareness to our eating habits and the food we consume compliments all aspects of the spiritual self. We are bombarded with information on what is best for us in relation to our food but this relationship reaches beyond our dietary recommendations from outer sources.
We discuss the benefits of having a rounded relationship with food- how we access it, consume it and relate to it individually and as a family.

How connected are you to your higher self?
How attuned are you to your gut feelings?
And how can you encourage, grow and deepen these connections?
Intuition exploration.
Our intuition is our inbuilt life compass, often bypassed or under nourished. Dan and Lou discuss the ways we can explore our inner knowing and bring to light how we can use this in our day to day lives.
Have you ever considered what is means to be sovereign and how you can integrate this in to your family and way of life? Dan and Lou open the conversation around practices and practical takeaways for you and your family.
