70: Waking Up - a podcast by Shannon Kinney-Duh

Welcome to another episode of the A Free Spirit Life Podcast, where we dive deep into topics that resonate with your heart and soul. In this episode #70, we explore the powerful theme of awakening to a new level of consciousness, grieving and shedding the layers of the old and embracing the 5D way of being.

Embracing the Shift: From 3D to 5D Consciousness

As we navigate the profound changes in our world today, many of us are experiencing a spiritual awakening unlike anything we've felt before. We're transitioning from the old 3D way of existence to the new 5D consciousness - heart-centered living and leading with love.

Navigating the Messy Transition

The mess we may be feeling reminds me of when I saw Marianne Williamson speak many years ago, as she was talking about the #metoo movement. The energy we initially felt during that time was like when an old bathtub faucet that hasn't been used in years and gets turns on. At first, the water gushes out chaotically, carrying with it all the accumulated gunk and rust. Similarly, as we awaken, we're confronted with anger, frustration, and a sense of being duped by systems that no longer serve us. It's a messy process.

Shaking Off the Muck

But here's the beautiful part: we're shedding the accumulated muck from our wings. Imagine that you've always had wings, but they've been burdened by this heavy layer. As we shake off this muck, our wingspan expands, and we begin to soar. This is happening to people all around us as we release the old and make space for the new.

Learning to Flow with the Current

In this transformative journey, we're learning how to go with the flow. Think about the water you might find around mountains – powerful yet graceful. It knows its path and doesn't let obstacles deter it. It smoothly carves its own way, never stopping its flow. This is what's happening as we awaken; we're learning to move gracefully and authentically through life.

Choosing Love Over Fear

The shift from 3D to 5D is about choosing love, compassion, and empathy over fear, anxiety, and worry. It's a choice between building our lives on the foundation of love or fear. Ask yourself: "Do I want a life rooted in fear or one built on love, compassion, and empathy?"

The Courage to Choose Love

It's not easy to choose love in a world that often thrives on judgment and division. But choosing love, compassion, and empathy is our calling. It's about embracing our uniqueness and lifting each other up, rather than tearing one another down.

The Path to Authenticity

As we walk forward on this journey, it can feel like a spew of dirty water, full of blame, judgment, and fear from those who haven't yet awakened. If you find yourself wanting to blame, judge, or mock those who choose love and authenticity, look within. Examine where that judgment comes from. And use this time to set healthy boundaries to honor and protect your energy.

Reclaiming Your Power

From the moment we enter this world, we're conditioned to doubt ourselves and our innate gifts. It's time to grieve the moments we were consumed with self-doubt, and step fully into your authentic power. You have wings; it's time to soar...

Our Mother Earth

It's heartbreaking to witness the harm we've inflicted on Mother Earth. But we're raising a generation that values nature and understands our interconnectedness with it. Times are changing.

Letting Go of 3D Control

The shift to 5D consciousness involves surrendering control to the heart. While the human mind resists this, it's essential to let the heart lead and co-create with your mind. Your heart knows the way; your mind can be the co-creator.

Practicing Presence and Peace

Whenever you feel overwhelmed by the mind's doubt or restless chatter, place your hands on your heart, close your eyes, and breathe deeply. Your breath is the anchor to the present moment, where your inner peace resides. Quiet the mind, and let the heart guide you.

New Beginnings

As we transition into September 2023, we're entering a season of new beginnings. It's a time to let go of the old, the 3D way of life, and embrace the 5D path. It's a time to live with love, light, peace, and authenticity. Remember, you are a light worker, here to make a positive impact. Together, we can create a brighter, more compassionate world.

With love,

Shannon
