I am Gloria Grace Rand, in case you couldn't tell by the same voice that you just heard on the intro is my voice. And I always say delighted. Well, I am delighted. I'm delighted to be here with you again and to have a guest with us on the show. And she is someone that I actually just had the good fortune to spend some time with recently. And we'll talk about that maybe in a little while. But first off, I want to welcome Sheila Murrey to live, love, engage. Sheila Murrey Oh, thank you so much, Gloria. And I'm delighted to be here. Gloria Grace Rand Well, good. I'm so glad. Yeah, I know I've been listening to different - when I listen to the playback of the podcast, and I hear myself say that every week, and I hope you all don't mind me saying that, but I guess it's just because that is how I feel. I love talking to interesting people like our guest today. And so Sheila is an author, a blogger, a health researcher, a singer, and a speaker. And she passionately learns, experiments, and shares from master teachers all things holistic, which she says is whole, W-H-O-L-E wholly. And relating to whole ism with a focus on connecting soul with spirit, mind, and body. And she says, as we embody all wisdom, have spirit and soul align, our consciousness expands and omniscience breathes. I like that. I always love to start our podcast by asking our guests about their journey and why it is they do the things they do. So I'm curious to know from you, even though we've known each other for a little while and spent some time together, we were at a conference earlier this year that Bruce Lipton spoke at and Gregg Braden. And if you don't know who those folks are, Google them. They're amazing people. But I'd still like to know. We didn't really get a chance to learn I didn't really get a chance to learn more about you. So I'd love to know. Yeah. Why do you focus on all things holistic? Sheila Murrey That's such a loaded question, isn't it? Well, it's a deep dive, and you know how people talk about going down a rabbit hole? I think I'm circling the rabbit hole. That's what I'm doing. I'm right on the precipice. I haven't fallen in yet, so I'm still right at the edge in the fringe, but I love that, and I love the space and the opportunity and possibilities that it allows for. So, yes, speaking of Dr. Bruce Lipton, I'm in his community. I love him. I love learning from him. His wisdom just seems to know no bounds. And the reason I love it so much is because I've always felt a sense through my whole life that I was here for a greater purpose, a mission, if you will, in working with a chi gung master several years ago, he's now on the other side. He told me that I'm here to bridge heaven and earth. Well, I believe we all are. So I love using the word all. I love anything that's inclusive, which is kind of tricky these days. It's difficult to navigate because things on the left may not always align with you, and things on the right may not always align with you. But that's okay, because what I've been shown is that and this is through a process of meditation that I go through. What I've been shown, Gloria, is that we truly don't know how long we're going to be here. This is the present moment, the now, which is where our power lies. It's where we are our greatest. So in every interaction, in every conversation that we have, we always have the powerful choice to make. Are we going to give? Are we receiving? Both good. It's all good. What is that energy like, though? And the question that I try to remember to ask myself is, am I coming from a place of ego? Talking about those past accomplishments and credentials and all of that, even my name, even my hair, whether I have makeup on, all of that stuff, all the superficial stuff, right? That's all coming from my ego. It's what I want to project out into the world. Or am I coming from my soul space, my spirit? Am I an open vessel for spirit to flow through? Because in any moment of tenseness, in upset and stress, that's where the choice is. And again, in any communication I have with someone, in any interaction, even driving in the car alone, and someone cuts me off, that's where my choice lies. So it's a practice. I've taken and thrown the word perfection out many years ago. It's all about practicing. Even medical doctors are practicing. So I bring in wholeness, because all of that impacts and what we learned from Dr. Bruce, the body. So how can I expect this body maybe the only one I guess it's the only one I'm going to get in this lifetime anyway. How can I expect it to heal or to even maintain some semblance of health? How can I expect it to do that when I'm constantly bombarding it with thoughts of, well, I'm terrible. I'm not good enough. I didn't do that very good. I could do that better. Oh, I'm not perfect today. Oh, I didn't put this on perfect. Oh, the curl isn't turning this way correctly, right? I spent years blow drying and straightening and curling and rollers this mess of a hair. Now I'm losing my hair. I even shaved my head. My son shaved my head for me during pandemic. So it's really that's why I blog. There's so much we can talk about in this deep dive of this just circling the rabbit hole, much less what's in all the rabbit holes. So there's so much we can talk about that it's a fascinating dive, a fascinating subject, and one that I'm always open to with folks. And I love the feeling of that. Thank you for asking. Gloria Grace Rand I love that there was so much there. And I'm trying to remember now, although I wanted to touch on because when you talk about kind of the different things about things that are bombarding us and do we want to deal with that or we want to come from the Ego or do we want to come from our true self? And I'm actually reading Michael Singer's book Living Untethered right now, and it goes again into talking about again with part of the Buddhist philosophy of the attachment and resistance and things like that, to be able to not have this attachment to the things that bug us. Like you said, when you're talking about people cutting you off in traffic and to be able to manage that, what do you do specifically? I think you did mention meditation. What do you do to help you to be able to navigate this crazy world on a day to day basis? Sheila Murrey Well, again, another wonderful question, because you're right. The attachment is where we tend to find that's where we're going to suffer from. So if we're attached to something and then we don't get it or it leaves us or it passes away, right? We're broken. And I've been in that place where my dad passed away in his sleep at night, totally unexpected. The next day, I felt I was in a black hole. I was totally devastated because it was something that wasn't expected at all. And it happens to folks out there every day. We lose friends, family members, maybe to an illness like the virus or a car accident, and they're gone. So again, it goes back to something I've heard you say about make this moment count, right? Because we don't know how long we have. So what we're attached to, we're physically attaching a subtle energy to, an energy that's unseen. And if we think in terms of the virus look at how this COVID has made us all aware of something that I know we were thinking. If we were aware of the flu and cold and germs and things before, but it's really made us aware of even just walking outside and taking a breath of air that hundreds, thousands of people have breathed and exhaled. And this air is just in the neighborhood, you know, in our local environment. And people have even been scared to walk outside. They've been outside with the masks and so forth. But why? Because we're attached to that feeling of everything has to be well in the world. And now there's this unseen thing floating around in the air and we don't know much about it. So we're scared, we're fearful....
