Be Brave, Not Popular

be brave

It takes courage to step into authenticity and speak your truth. It takes strength to say what others may be too afraid to. It takes an unwavering belief in something bigger than the status quo to openly march to a different beat. 

It is easy to be popular, to agree with what most believe to be true. Yet, popularity is not a badge of honour. Shining your authentic light, regardless of what others may think, now THAT is honourable.

Do not waver in the deep knowing of your innate truths. Do not succumb to ridicule of those who believe differently to you. Stand tall. Shine your light and TRUST you came here to make a difference way beyond your wildest dreams. Understand you are one of the golden links that has together to save humanity, to birth Mother Gaia and its inhabitants to a beautiful new beginning. 

Know you are not alone in your pursuits, rather, you will be joined by others who care not about likes and shares, but whether their words, their deeds and their actions helped to open the hearts and minds of all of those around them.

Be brave, not popular. The world needs you.

JOURNEY WITHIN, Out Soon
  • Women have been too ashamed, devastated and unsupported to talk openly about Pelvic Organ Prolapse. Yet, did you know it affects AT LEAST one in two women. That is at least 50 percent of the female population (of the Western world). Some studies suggest it is closer to 70 percent. When it happened to me, I could not be silent about it because I was in absolute shock it could even happen at all. My biggest question was, “why aren’t women talking about this?!” I refused to believe doctors and a practitioner when they told me I could not heal. I knew it would not be my life sentence. I spent four years on a journey of self-discovery that ultimately led to my full healing from stage two uterine prolapse. Even though I have been healed for about five years, I still cannot be silent about the condition that is driving women to depression, anxiety and despair. Enough is enough. Doctors do not know how to support women with prolapse, just as most women themselves don’t know how to support themselves or their healing. It is my service, my calling, to show women and doctors there is another way. Prolapse is a condition that manifests from many sources. It is not something women need to accept as part of childbirth. The physical moment is simply the “straw that broke the camel’s back”, not the only and ultimate cause. We cannot heal prolapse unless we treat it holistically - that means working on the mind, the body and the soul. My new book, HEALING PROLAPSE: 100+ Affirmations for Your Journey Within was just stocked in my local @paperplusnz bookstore. It is also available on @barnesandnoble (paperback) @amazon (paperback and Kindle), @kobobooks (Kobo eReader). The special gold spiral-bound edition is available on my website at shannondunn.com This book is the first in a suite of books that I’m publishing to help women understand they are powerful beyond measure and they can heal prolapse. In doing so, they heal from so much more. If you know a woman who is suffering with prolapse, please let her know help is here. . . . #pelvicorganprolapse #prolapse #uterineprolapse #wombwisdom #wombwork #bodylove #authenticself #journalist #writer #shannondunn #shineyourlight

  • With the erosion of belief in the source of all things, fear has become rampant. When we have belief in our creator and an unwavering knowing we are supported without exception, fear naturally dissipates. Whether you resonate with “God”, the “Universe” or “Higher Power”, it doesn’t really matter. It is the understanding we are born of the same light, the same source. If we came here for a purpose, even if it is to simply experience what it means to be human, we must find a place within ourselves to trust we are guided and supported for our highest good. Fear simply breeds more of the same. When we are in a state of love and gratitude, we cannot enter into fear simultaneously. Practise the art of trusting all is well. It is then life rises up to meet you in the most synchronistic of ways. . . . #artoftrusing #begintotrust #trustbreedslove #god #theuniverse #youaresupported #feellove #miracleshappen #youcandoit #journalist #shannondunn #writer #shineyourlight

  • To heal is not to reach a destination. The process of healing is experienced in the journey of coming to know our authentic selves. When we come to find and embrace our holistic self, in all of its facets—and support our whole self needs—it is then we may experience what we deem to be healing. The journey can never be in parts if we truly want to feel better. What we seek is seeking us. We just need to remember how to listen. . . .

  • Many new age teachings encourage people to keep seeking fulfilment through endless programs, workshops, books and more. Many new age teachers come from ego, all the while teaching others to dissipate theirs. Awareness is the key to understanding we are already complete. . . . #awareness #holistichealth #newagegurus #newage #whatisnewage #trustyourself #instaawesome #youaretheguruyouseek #lightiwithin #belight #betruth #youaregod #youaregoddess #loveisenergy #writer #journalist #shannondunn #shineyourlight

  • Our emotions are a result of our perception of our environment... our reaction to people, events and the world around us. Our habit of storing these negative emotions, without releasing them, is responsible for much dis-comfort and dis-ease. They ultimately become triggers that can send us further down the emotional abyss. Then we wonder why things aren’t as we would really like them to be. There are many techniques that can help us release what has been pushed down and suppressed, however, awareness is ultimately the key that begins the process of release. Awareness coupled with and intention to let go is a powerful invocation. When we release emotions we have ignored and held onto, from deep within our bellies to tightly within our throats, we literally lighten the load. When we lighten the load we open up a space for higher vibrational energy to come in. It is then we experience life through a lens of possibility. Relationships improve and we meet challenges with more stability and understanding. We must be honest about what we are holding to if we want to feel better—mind, body and soul. . . .

  • When we focus on love and our heart chakra, we rise above the collective fear. The two vibrations—love and fear—cannot co-exist. Love is literally the universal language, which human beings are learning to "speak" with more consistency. Love breeds love, fear breeds fear. What you embody is a choice. . . . #freedomischoice #embodiment #instaquote #speakwithlove #chooselove #heartchakra #chakras #energybody #itsallenergy #holistichealing #womenshealth #realhealth #youhavechoice #humanity #ascensionconsciousness #thegreatawakening #writer #journalist #shannondunn #shineyourlight
