Believe in the I’mpossible

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered
What is something that is supposedly impossible that you believe in?
~Or~
What is something that is supposedly impossible that you could believe in?

During our ascension to 5D it is important to believe in the impossible. The energy of believing in something you want that is supposedly impossible, is invigorating and that is the exact energy we want to cultivate for our transition to 5D. The 5th dimension is all about thriving, harmony, peace, abundance and almost unreal manifestation! Imagine like a child. See it as real, feel it, totally pretend and see how you feel. It’s seriously fun!

So find something to believe that turns you on and have fun with it.
Not impossible — I’m possible!

See it in your inner garden and Believe in the I’m possible! ❤

Releasing What no Longer Serves You

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

Ready to let go?

As we heal and move closer and closer to being more of our true nature, things come up that need to be released so that we can move forward unencumbered by that energy. Letting go is like starting fresh. And we do it over and over and over through this process of transformation.

We have the power to consciously release what no longer serves our lives.

Learn a potent method of letting go of what you are ready to release. Release anger, fear, worry, judgment, negative thoughts, etc. using the power of intention, imagination and visualization (Mind Gardening/Mana Gardening techniques).

The 5 minute video below explains the technique.

 

 
Here is guided meditation (11 minutes) you can follow along with anytime you feel ready to let go.

 

Love & Light to you ALL~

Co-creating Heaven on Earth

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

In this incredible time on planet Earth, we have the opportunity and responsibility to co-create the highest timeline we can imagine for all ~ Heaven on Earth!

It is of the highest importance that we focus on that which we desire to experience!

Your imagination is one of the most powerful forces you have access to.

Albert Einstein said,

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attractions.”

Your imagination is truly creative and this creative nature has been backed by a plethora of legit scientific studies (for list of citations, see our Research page and the References section of our book, Mana Gardening).

Below  is a YouTube playlist of 7 guided meditations (+1 bonus) to focus your attention on the life and world you wish to experience going forward.

Add your focus and attention to that which you want to create by listening to these guided meditations. Day 1- 7 each focuses on a different aspect of Heaven on Earth so you can get specific with the universe as to what you are desiring.  As we imagine it and feel into it, we create it.

THANK YOU for ADDING YOUR LIGHT to the co-creation of HEAVEN ON EARTH for ALL!

Details of each meditation:

Day 1: Relationship between Gaia (Earth) and Humans

The focus of Day 1 is the creation of a heavenly relationship between Humans and Gaia. How do we treat Earth’s trees, animals, plants, the air, rivers, oceans, mountains and resources?

Day 2: Relationships between Humans

Day 3: Divine Human Systems (healthcare, finances, education transportation, etc.)

Envision and co-create how human systems work (or are no longer needed) in the New Earth reality timeline. Sustainable and healthy transportation, communication, education and healthcare are highlighted.

Day 4: Your Personal Relationship with the Divine

Day 6: Envisioning Healthy Communities

Day 7: Basking in Completion

Day 7 is the day of rest and completion. Bask and feel the fruits of the previous days of creation as you are blessed and appreciated. It is done. Re-imagine your favorite images to give more energy to those creations.

Envisioning the New Earth – 7 day Guided Meditation

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

Mana Gardening (aka Mind Gardening) was made for these CRAZY Corona virus/Covid 19/quarantine times.

Your imagination is more powerful than you know! With your imagination you can create ease, peace, wellbeing and so much more!

You’re invited to imagine Heaven on Earth via a 7 day guided meditation series with Dr. Michelle Shine. You will explore the vibrations of peace, support, and harmony, and use your powerful imagination to visualize and feel the New Earth into being. POWERFUL and CREATIVE!

Access the recordings below:

Guided Meditations

 

Why Envision the New Earth?

By imagining it, we create it. As we envision a New Earth reality of health, prosperity, win-win relationships between humans and all life on Earth, healthy communities, and more, we put energy and focus in that direction.  And where 3 or more are gathered, the energies are magnified!

We can imagine what we want, and feel it, and by doing so create new neural pathways in our brains. These new neural pathways serve as  “memories” that if re-imagined, grow wider and can serve as magnetically attractive forces that bring that exact reality to you.

Michelle and Keti described how imagining what they wanted, brought it to them with ease and grace in their Mana Gardening book. And let it be stated that many of us have similar visions of Heaven on Earth.

“Imagination is everything. It is the preview to life’s coming attractions” -Albert Einstein
“As we exist in the physical plane, we also live at the level of the mind … The mind is potential energy and because of this we can change our physical world simply by changing our thoughts and beliefs.” -Deepak Chopra

Multiple lines of evidence basically prove that we are the creators of our own lives (see our book Science of Imagination  and Mana Gardening book, both with many references to the scientific research). Both Keti and Michelle (authors of the Mana Gardening series of books, available here) utilized these techniques in creating phenomenal relationships, peace, and true happiness in their lives. So let’s create Heaven on Earth together using these tools.

 

How does it work?

For 7 days starting April 1, 2020,  Dr. Michelle Shine hosted a Zoom video conference that was recorded. Each meditation lasted approximately 20-25 min with a 10 min sharing time for total of 30-40 min.

Listen to the recordings below:

Guided Meditations

 

As you listen you will:

Receive Mind/Mana Gardening tools to help you feel the presence of a New Earth, one in which WE want to live in. Create your own personal Heaven on Earth with your imagination.

Each day, explore a different realm of life, envision it and feel it into being. Dr. Shine guides each meditation with targeted questions so that you get specific in what you want from different areas of life going forward on New Earth. Leave the meditations feeling uplifted, peaceful and confident that you contributed the creation of a harmonious planet.

You will be guided into your own personal peaceful space to reduce stress and activate the flow of wellbeing which is so needed during the Coronavirus/COVID-19 quarantine time we are currently living in.  You will be guided to imagine and consider questions such as:

  • What is Heaven on Earth to me?
  • What type of world do I want to live in?
  • What does it feel like to live in Heaven on Earth?
  • In the new reality, what is our paradigm of health and how is our healthcare system experienced?
  • What do relationships look like and feel  like between humans, animals, plants, and the  New Earth?
  • How does it feel to live in our community of Heaven on Earth?
  • How do we care for the elderly and the vulnerable?
  • How do we support one another?
  • What is our relationship to death in the reality you’d wish to experience?
  • What is our relationship to food?
  • In what type of dwellings do we live?
  • What does transportation look like? Do we even need transportation?

  • How may I  to contribute the wellbeing of our home planet in the new reality in a way that brings me joy?

Cycles of Completion – Full Circle of Healing, Part II: Joy and Gifts Galore

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

 

It was a tough first couple of weeks for me in Hawaii (read Part I of this blog here). As I saw our old house, the restaurants, the trails and the beaches, I cried lots of tears in remembrance of the deep pain experienced when my marriage ended and our family dynamics shifted 6 years ago.

I had not been excited for this trip to Hawaii. In actuality, I love Hawaii, yet the fact that I experienced the deepest pain of my life there, created a sense of sadness for me when I thought of the beautiful place. Hence I had not returned since divorcing. It had been 6 years since I stepped foot on this island.

As I felt all those emotions coming back up the first weeks in Hawaii, I sensed I was releasing yet another level of pain.

Healing appears to me to be a spiral and as we move along, some things come circling back with a slightly different twist as they come around again and again to complete the cycle of healing.

Interestingly, as described in part I of this blog, that phase completed and I felt a sense of healing, momentum and joy! That was a tremendous makana (gift in Hawaiian).

Hawaii had more gifts for me as they continued to be revealed.

 

 

My kids came to Hawaii. I met them the day they arrived with their dad and we all went to Kalama beach park where we used to play when we all lived here. We all immediately ran for and played in the ocean together. It was a beautiful little family reunion of happiness.

Feeling immensely grateful for having the time and space before they arrived to release that pain, I felt positive and joyous in the family fun and excitement of that evening.

Then my kids and I got to spend an entire week together in paradise.

We went to Kawela Bay, the place where we spent my daughter’s first week of life. We rented a house right after she was born with family as we all shared in taking care of her and taking care of me. It was an absolutely gorgeous, nurturing environment to be a new mom.

What’s funny is I didn’t even realize that’s where we were going that day. We decided to try a new trail and it led straight to Kawela Bay. I was completely amazed upon arriving thinking, Oh my gosh, this is where my daughter spent her first week of life and here she is 13 years later walking this beach as a beautiful young woman.

 

Hardly anyone was around and it was a beautiful day on that beach.  We swam, ran, played, had contests, checked out the crabs… what a gift.

We visited friends we had not seen in a very long time and reconnected (more gifts).

I realized I had phenomenal friends, amazing people who loved me deeply and supported me during the divorce. And still do. I realized the gifts of friendships that were still there! Still resounding, still solid. I am supported and loved by so many. I pray I never again feel alone because I can at once remember my loving supportive network of beautiful souls in Hawaii and elsewhere.

One day while hiking I stopped and climbed into a Banyan tree and started Mana Gardening and meditating. I received a message, another amazing gift from Hawaii as I heard these words: Remember, this is where it all began.

I knew exactly what that meant. You see, while going through divorce, I hiked a lot because nature nurtured me and allowed me to feel more ease in my world.

Trees specifically were immensely powerful for me during that time. I meditated next to trees or while sitting on trees. I  almost always felt some kind of energetic transmission, as if the trees were taking something from me. I remember those days thinking, What on Earth would they be taking from me? My inner garden revealed that the trees were taking away my pain.

What a gift.

They loved me and took my pain away. I always, without fail, left the forest feeling lighter and more capable of handling the situation at hand.

While sitting in the Banyan tree, I was reminded that this relationship (if you will), with trees started in Hawaii. I felt graced as I remembered this wholeheartedly as true. The ‘Aina had spoken to me once again. I felt how loved I am by the ‘Aina. Another immense gift.

Gifts also included the amazing situation that my dear friend Keti set up for me. Her family and friends were welcoming and happy to have me around. They made me feel like part of the Ohana and like an important part of their world. Keti let me drive her car around for over a month while she got a ride to work with her dear friend who lived up the street. She, time and time again, made accommodations to make it easy for me to be there.

Also a friend from Asheville joined me in Hawaii for about 9 days. This is when I actually took time off from the work I felt like I should do and allowed myself to be on vacation. He and I adventured daily on big hikes, little hikes, snorkeling in calm water, snorkeling in turbulent water (we could have totally gotten eaten by the ocean that day! Happy to be alive! Yet another gift that we are both still here!), jumping off waterfalls, jumping off the giant rock into Waimea bay, checking out the vast differences in flora and fauna from what we see back home, meditating in nature, eating amazing Hawaiian and Asian food, dancing, watching sunsets over the Waianae coast and on the North Shore, surfing and playing in the waves, and checking out the Buddhist temples. We got along great and explored so much together totally as friends. I am forever grateful for his presence with that week because otherwise I would have felt like I should be working and would not have allowed myself to have so many beautiful explorations and connections with the ‘Aina, the spirit of the land of Hawaii.

 

I was truly amazed at all the Aloha this land was freely giving to me. I am so happy that I was aware enough to notice it and give my appreciation back!

Many Blessings and Warm Aloha on your Journey!

…To be continued in Part III– The Final Gift from Soul, where I share my prayer to the ‘Aina of Hawaii for its innumerable makana (gifts in Hawaiian).

Ps. I am incredibly blessed to have been given this gift of Mana Gardening.  Get the book and try it for yourself. It is an easy, fast and fun way to connect to the infinite wisdom that lies within. You’ll feel yourself as empowered to live and love. If books aren’t your thing, try a class or set up a series of sessions with me or Keti. We will be doing podcasts shortly and hope to have an audio book out soon as well. Our mission is to serve our fellow souls, so reach out if you are called.

Cycles of Completion – Full Circle of Healing, Part III: The Final Gift from Soul

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

 

More gifts awaited on my last day in Hawaii. I woke up super early, meditated, and got out of the house for some Soul time. On the way I took some sunrise photos, and told my Soul to guide me where to go. In my mind, I was headed for a couple of different waterfall hikes I thought my Soul would like…

While passing the entrance to the first waterfall trailhead, I felt no impetus to turn that way, so continued on towards the second one.

Then I accidentally went the wrong way, the long way.

Or did I?

Instead of turning around, I just continued going the long way. About a half mile later I knew where my Soul was taking me.

Not to the waterfall, but to the Friendship garden, a super special place for me. I burst into tears upon realizing that my Soul is truly driving, even when I don’t think it is. And I was crying because of the significance of coming full circle yet again in Hawaii. There are so many levels to the healing and releasing I experienced here this summer.

I must have hiked this trail a hundred times when I lived here. This hike was instrumental in me becoming so attuned to the healing nature and connection of trees while I was going through the ending of my marriage, as described in Part I and Part II of this blog.

THIS is the place where the trees first took my pain from me, and they did that for me time and time again.

I got to BE there, with them again and it felt like a blissful reunion. Having released so much, this felt like coming home, coming full circle with healing my past and creating a fresh perspective of love and reverence for the ‘Aina of Hawaii.

 

For this, and all the immense makana I received from the ‘Aina during this incredible journey, I give great thanks and offer this prayer of appreciation to the ‘Aina of Hawaii:

Dear ‘Aina:

I feel blessed, I feel nurtured, I feel whole, I feel complete. I feel like you helped me release Oh so much and allowed me to receive closure on things I had no idea that I needed closure on.

I came full circle on healing my past and with the pain of resisting one of the greatest gifts of my life. I now truly see it as an immense blessing and gift from Hawaii.

Hawaii you gave me my kids, you gave me freedom, you gave me dear, amazing, supportive souls along the way who are my life-long friends and family, you gave me healing, relationship and ecstasy with trees, you gave me the priceless gift of Mana Gardening, and the mission to share this amazing work with the world!!

For this I bow in appreciation and reverence. My heart acknowledges your gifts, your love, your Aloha, and your support. I am eternally grateful for these gifts, for this trip, for this journey of soul realignment and release of what no longer serves me, and for all the doors that are now open!! The doors to being more of my true self, to opening to a new and powerful relationship, to sharing Mana Gardening widely and doing biomedical research on the techniques, the doors that are swinging wide open to bring me more and more of all things good.

Graciously accept my sincere, heartfelt appreciation and please continue to assist me in aligning with the highest version of myself in ALL that I AM and in ALL that I DO. I am with you and you are with me, always.

Aloha nui loa and Mahalo nui loa Dear Aloha ‘Aina.
May your Love and Light continue to Bless me, and others through me, and indeed all.

 

 

Many Blessings and Warm Aloha on your Journey!

Mana Gardening is an easy, fast and fun way to connect to the infinite wisdom that lies within. You’ll feel empowered to live and love.

Commitment vs Resolution

Michelle Shine / Be Empowered

Typically, a New Year’s resolution is a tradition in which a person resolves to change an undesired trait or behavior. A commitment is a state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity, etc. 

Generally, people resolve to do something or not do something for the entire year. Many times resolutions fail due to unrealistic goals, not keeping track of progress, or just forgetting.  Resolutions comprise a decision that usually lacks a plan of action. For example, one may resolve to go to the gym three times per week for the rest of the year, but only make it to they gym the month of January. Or one may resolve to have more patience this year but don’t feel they are making progress. Resolutions can be very hard to keep, especially without an action plan because it is not always easy to come up with the inspiration, aka the juice,  to take the consistent actions that are required to attain the goal all year long. Many times resolutions are simply unachievable.

Commitments are different in that they are focused on being dedicated to something. They usually involve a plan of action and the inspiration to take the consistent action can continually come. Commitments are sometimes seen as obligations, however, having commitments, aka being dedicated, will allow you to reach your goals. An interesting thing about commitment is once you know what you are committed to, you have the freedom to take baby steps towards that commitment. You can commit for a week or commit for one day toward that larger goal. You don’t have to commit for the entire year. You can have mini-commitments.

For example, let’s say you are committed to having a healthy body because that is the future you want for yourself. This week, you feel like you have energy and space in your schedule to go to the gym twice, so you commit to going to the gym two times this week. After you complete your two gym sessions, you celebrate yourself and say, “Wow I did a great job. I honored my commitment to my healthy body and went to the gym twice this week!”  You can pat yourself on the back, give yourself a hug or sit in silent appreciation for yourself for a few moments. You just accomplished your goal. One reason it was easily accomplished was because it was achievable due to the short length of the commitment.

The next week, since you are still dedicated to owning a healthy body, make sure to commit again. Consider how many times you can go to the gym next week, commit to it and do it. Just keep committing and keep taking action towards that larger commitment of having a healthy body.

You can also just commit for one day. For example, you can write a list of your commitments for today. Perhaps you are dedicated to being a writer. You might sit in meditation and get an inspiration for a great blog topic and commit to writing and posting a blog today. You honor your commitment through your action and do it! Once you’ve completed writing your blog, you get to celebrate you. Then just commit again next week.


The key to reaching your goals is to keep making commitments. They can be baby-step commitments or mini-commitments, and as long as you are consistent about making commitments, you’ll reach your goals.

Be committed to making new commitments that align with your highest desires and what you are dedicated to and you cannot fail! 

What are you committed to this year? And what mini-commitments can you make today or this week, that if completed, would be a step forward for you? 

Warm aloha, 

Michelle Shine
