Are you struggling with unresolved emotions or recurring patterns? Get ready to break free on Beyond Birth Trauma-From Burden to Brilliance, where we uncover the powerful truth about your beginnings and how they’ve shaped your entire life! This isn’t just about understanding your past—it’s about reclaiming your future. We’ll connect the dots between your ancestors, your birth, and the patterns that keep you stuck, guiding you to a place of profound healing and unstoppable brilliance. We will examine and help you heal your cellular imprint from birth of how you perceive and respond to the world and the challenges that creates in your day to day life. On Beyond Birth Trauma, we are not just exploring your birth-we are dismantling the chains of generational trauma. We are diving into the core of who you are, peeling back layers of inherited beliefs and behaviors that have held you back for far too long. Shannon's online 8 week course call From Burden to Brilliance is a profound exploration of how our birth experiences can deeply influence various aspects of our lives. Shannon emphasizes that the way we were born, and the environment we were born into, can affect everything from our emotional health and stress management to our physical coordination and mental clarity. She delves into the idea that even if you had a "normal" birth, factors such as your ancestor's imprint, and your mother's emotional state before, during, and after pregnancy, familial stress, or complications during pregnancy can have long-lasting effects on your development. Shannon also shares her personal story of feeling trapped and out of control throughout her life, which she traced back to her traumatic birth experience. Her mother had started to miscarry, likely losing a twin, leaving Shannon trapped in utero, and later during birth held in by a panicked nurse -a situation that significantly shaped her emotional and psychological patterns. Understanding this allowed Shannon to heal parts of herself and her relationship with her mother, highlighting the importance of uncovering and addressing these early influences. Shannon invites listeners to explore their own birth experiences and consider how they might be affecting their current life patterns. She offers her services to help people understand and heal from these deep-seated issues, emphasizing the importance of energy flow in the body to maximize the benefits of any healing work. Her approach combines ancestral healing, reprogramming the neural pathways in your brain, and energy work to help individuals rebalance and break free from limiting beliefs and repetitive patterns. The message is clear: by understanding the origins of our challenges, we can begin to heal and live more balanced, fulfilling lives. Shannon encourages anyone struggling with unresolved emotions or recurring patterns to reach out for a conversation and start their journey toward self-discovery and healing.

Shannon Discusses Why Having A Balanced Root Chakra Is So Important to Our Early Imprints Around Safety & Stability
In this episode I'm going to re-introduce myself and my story incase you are just tuning in now and talk about why having a balanced root chakra is so important to our early imprints around safety, belonging and stabiltiy.
My story: Mom as 3 months pregnant with me and started to hemmorage...her uterus was tipped. We're pretty certain she miscarried my twin sister at that point, although that information came out many many years later!
She had to lay in bed for therest of her pregnancy and stand on herheadevery hour on the hour to tip it back in place, so htat she wouldn't miscarry me.
So me, the baby, felt trapped. My spirit didn;t think it was a great idea to stay, and knowing what I know now about losing a twin, I was also grieving, which later explained a lifetime of deep sadness and loss that "technicnally" didn't really make sense.
When I finally decided to come out, a nurse panciked and tried to hold me in not permitting me to be born! So I swallowed a lot of gunk and was very ill the first six months of my life not being able to digest anything. It also created chronic neck problems.
The worst part was that I was not put onto my mother, but instead whisked away all ten pounds of me, jaundiced and put in an incubator for three days. So me, the baby, felt after being trapped, then I wasn't allowed out, and then I wasn't wanted because I wasn't held and separate from my mother. And she also chose not to breastfeed me, so again lost out on that essential bonding.
This unfolding of events manifested in my central nervous system being affected, the doctors were concerned to see how that would play out. I'm fine, and only my mother would notice the ever so slight tremor I get when I'm overdoing things. It also manifested with me not trusting authority, disliking small enclosed spaces, and always wanting to be first, never feeling I could ever get enough holding. Digestive issues, until they discovered goats milk, and always extreme sensitivity to cold.
And boy did I ever walk on eggshells around my mother.
I didn't find out about the being held in and being in an incubator part until I was 37. I went to my first Transactional Analysis class and we had to write down what our mothers were feeling when they were pregnant with us. I wrote down something like, "Trapped, frustrated and totally alone." I had other reasons for thinking those things but Mom happened to be visiting me in England at that point and I asked her what she felt and she said the exact thing I had written on my paper. She explained her feelings at the time. And then she told me the rest of my birth story and I cried in her arms until I had salt trails on my face. It explained so much about our relationship.
It's essential to ask yourslf and your mother how your birth went? How did your entry into this world shape your sense of security? Do you feel supported by life, or are you always on guard?
I have a pdf of birth questions to ask your mother, father, grandparents, spirit! You can have access to this on my website: shannonbtb.com or shannonoflaherty.com
After the break I'll talk about the root chakra which is all about our Foundations of Safety.
***
Chakras are energy vortexes shaped like spinning funnels of bioenergetic activity in 7 key areas of our bodies. We also have many secondary or mini- chakras too. The term chakra originates in India but many different cultures work with this fascinating field where physical, emotional, mental and spiritual energies all come together. Chakras don’t just interact with each other, they also have the potential to connect us to the energetic interaction of our world and universe, connecting spirit and matter, mind and body.
Each chakra influences the organs associated with it,...
