About this Episode
My name is Kim Shea, and I'm an Earth mother exploring Shamanism and spirituality. I have always been spiritual and have been working on my dream interpretation skills for a few years. But recently I learned more about Shamanism from a friend. Slowly, my conversations turned to personal exploration and I am avidly learning about it with a focus on plants, animals and the Earth.
Thank you to Peter Marin for allowing me to use his recording of Autumn Leaves.

Can you commit despite the risks?
The great Martin Luther King said,"Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase." This is excellent inspiration for everyone who wants to do something impactful even when we don't know the outcome.

Resolve to make an easy difference
Most of us can't help but think about making resolutions this time of year. Others resolve to not make resolutions. But after recalling a neighbor who was determined to try to make people feel seen every day, I think I have found a resolution we can all make and keep no matter how you feel about them. Trust me, you'll like this one!

Ancestors Ask Me to Clean Up My Space
During a guided Middle World journey to meet some ancestors on my property to learn how I can help the Earth, I was surprised to learn that they want me to start with a challenge I had put off. Here is my takeaway on the importance of the assignment.

If You Help One, You Help All
A new friend, Zhanna Bright of Soul Congruency, reminded me of a beautiful quote by Ram Dass to help me see that we are helping everyone when we help even one person. We are all one so this makes sense. As a busy working mama, I was grateful to be reminded of this valuable truth. The quote is, "We are all just walking each other home," which means so much more than what I pulled from it in our conversation. The quote means many things but to understand that I need to focus on helping who I can, which is mostly the people who live under my roof at this time, is perfectly enough.

Climate Change News is a Call to Use Our Power
Today I cut back my milkweed plant almost to the ground to save monarch butterflies in my area. It was a hard decision but seemed the most responsible thing to do as we have been experiencing a lot of death among our monarch caterpillar and chrysalis population.
Nature is changing dramatically right now. Climate change is evident everywhere and it gets discouraging. But we aren't powerless. We can help. I want to focus on that in coming episodes of my podcast because climate change is the most important issue in the world right now. We have to work together where we can make a difference.

Reincarnation Just Makes Sense And Here's Why
Reincarnation is a topic that makes some people uncomfortable because it appears to go against the teachings of their church or their understanding of the Bible. For many, reincarnation is, in fact, mentioned often in the Bible. For many, reincarnation makes perfect sense and is more in line with a loving God than having a single shot at life on Earth. In this episode, I explain why reincarnation is logical and I ask you to consider my points, if only for 13 minutes and 50 seconds– the length of this episode.

Meditation 101: 5 Senses Awareness
Meditation is an amazing tool for relaxing, health, and spiritual growth. For many, it's a daunting practice to learn and makes us feel like we are failing when we try it. After listening to Dan Harris' Ten Percent Happier, I learned how to meditate in a way that is easy to do and helps me experience what meditation is supposed to provide. In this 12.5 minute podcast, I share tips that have helped me to truly cherish my meditation time.
