Welcome back to episode five of the Naked Soul podcast! Today we are going to be touching on a subject that we've gotten a few questions about, which is really what is God when we are referring to God in some of these episodes.

Shawna shares her personal journey of understanding the term 'God,' recounting how she initially struggled with it due to a lack of exposure and understanding of the concept in childhood. She talks about her transformative experiences with meditation, spiritual books, specific healing practices and the profound impact of her brother's passing, which led her to form a personal relationship with God.

Laurie joins the conversation, sharing her perspective on God from her Roman Catholic upbringing to exploring other belief systems like Hinduism and Buddhism. She discusses how her understanding evolved to see God not as a judgmental figure but as an all-encompassing energy of love and intelligence.

The episode also explores concepts such as co-creation, manifestation, and the idea that we all possess divine intelligence within us. Both hosts share practical ways to start exploring a relationship with God, whether through Abraham Hicks' teachings, co-creative practices, or spiritual practices, which they describe.

We hope you enjoy!

Welcome to the Naked Soul podcast where we dissolve the barriers between spirituality and the human experience. Here we embrace the full spectrum of your journey, celebrating the highs and the lows, the glimmers and the triggers. Our mission is to dive deep into the candid conversations that everyone thinks about but few talk about, breaking the silence and removing the stigma around the complexities of being human. Whether you're on a healing journey, an entrepreneurial path or anywhere in between. If you're ready to shatter the notions of spirituality being all love and light and embrace radical honesty and acceptance of your soul's journey here, let's strip away the layers and let's get naked.

Welcome to Episode 4 of the Naked Soul podcast! In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of the ego mind, often associated with fear-based thinking. If you struggle with negative thoughts, stress, overwhelm, or feelings of inadequacy, this episode is for you.

We begin by defining the ego mind, exploring its origins and discussing how the ego mind functions as a counterpart to our soul, bringing forward challenges and non-loving emotions that our soul is meant to overcome for growth. We discuss the importance of the ego in our physical existence and how it shapes our sense of identity but also the problems we can encounter when we live from and associate ourselves with the ego mind too strongly.

Through candid conversations, we share insights on shifting from ego-based thinking to a more soul-centered approach. Learn practical techniques to quiet the ego mind, recognize limiting beliefs, and tune into the intuitive messages of your soul to help you live a more aligned, peaceful and empowered life and to better follow the path that is authentic to you.

We hope you enjoy!

How to Heal with Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Inner Child Work

In episode three, we dive into inner child work through the lens of Internal Family Systems (IFS). Shawna provides an insightful explanation of IFS, a comprehensive framework for understanding our psyche, exploring why we feel the way we do in different situations, and how to heal our wounded parts. This episode is a journey through the various parts of our psyche, their roles, and how they impact our lives.

We discuss how childhood experiences shape our belief systems and how the IFS framework can help uncover and heal these deep-seated wounds. Shawna shares her personal story of discovering IFS and its transformative impact on her life, especially during a challenging period working as a mental health nurse. We explore how to connect with and unburden our parts, leading to greater healing and harmony.

Join us as we uncover the powerful process of inner child healing with IFS, offering insights and practical steps to integrate this transformative work into your own life.

Welcome back to episode two of the Naked Soul podcast. Today, we are talking about the soul, soul growth, and the path of healing and raising consciousness. We explore the concepts of understanding your soul, your soul's purpose, the lessons we encounter in life, and how these lessons contribute to our growth. Laurie shares insights from her sessions with clients, explaining common questions about life purpose and causes of suffering. We discuss the idea of life as a school where challenges are lessons for soul growth, and the seven areas of soul growth: love, compassion, patience, gratitude, humility, joy, and sharing.

Additionally, we discuss the challenges faced in the third dimension of consciousness, such as overcoming negativity, the belief that sight is the dominant sense, and the perception of time. Shawna introduces the concept of the scale of consciousness and the four R's of healing: reflection, release, reprogramming, and receiving. We emphasize the importance of healing work and how it can lead to raising one's level of consciousness, soul growth and living a more fulfilling life.

Join us as we navigate these profound topics, offering tools and perspectives to help you understand your soul's journey and embrace the path of raising consciousness.
