Interview With Jeff Brown Author Of Soulshaping



Jeff could you please tell me about yourself? Do you have any children or wish to someday?

I wouldn’t know where to start, or end :) (b) I do not have biological children, although I have been like a parent for most of my adult life. I have many people close to me who I meet that need with. I do, though, still imagine that I will one day adopt or have children, after the book writing madness has let me go. The Divine Mother has her own ideas about my creative output.


How did Soulshaping come about?

It was birthed in a soulnami of inner dimensions. I always knew I was going to write but I had much to do in the form of prep work first- Divine Preparation at the School of Heart Knocks. When the moment was right, it pushed through me like a torrent, demanding to be expressed.


What advice would you give a parent who is choosing to walk a conscious parenting path?

Do your own inner work. And do it often. Clear your own emotional debris. Learn your own projections and patterns. And continue to prioritize your quest for your own unique purpose. The more aligned you are with your own purpose, the more satisfied you will be when the kids demand your attention.

You never know when your soul is going to call out and draw you into choosing a more connected path. Walking your true path is not easy, but it is more rewarding than stumbling along.



Any suggestions for teens who are venturing out into the world? Tips on how to listen to their inner guidance, connect with their soulular phone?

Don’t let anyone else tell them who they are. Even well intentioned advice givers cannot know anyone else’s unique path. Also, create space in your life for developing a relationship with your inner voice. The deeper you go, the higher you will climb later in life.


What was the publishing process like for you? Did you go the traditional or self-publishing route?

Soulshaping A Journey Of Self-Creation Review



Jeff Brown's Soulshaping A journey of self-creation is a life changing soul-shifting journey of one mans metamorphis. If your ready to excavate your inner caverns of self this book will guide you on your way.

Soulshaping is the optimal demonstration of walking one's true path.

Jeff Brown summons the power of the explicable graphic dance between walking a disconnected path or choosing a soulshifting, life changing, conscious shaping path. He demonstrates the willingness and depth one must be willing to go through to unveil their soul, their purpose, their path.

Soulshaping encourages others to join in the transformation of spirit. Together we can change the collective consciousness by changing ourselves one person at a time.

Are you willing to dance with your inner calling?

As you unwrap the gift of Soulshaping A journey of self-creation we wanted to share a few little soulular snippets with you from Jeff Brown.

Your Sacred Purpose ***

Author Jeff Brown

When Sunday evenings from
Sunday June 26 to
Sunday July 31, 2011
(7-8:45 Eastern Standard Time)

In this course, we will focus on identifying and energizing the sacred purpose that lives at the heart of your birth.

At the heart of the Soulshaping Philosophy is the belief that every individual came into this life with sacred intentionality.
Are we just random concentrations of stardust, and accidental tourists? 
Or are we meaning-based, purposeful and essential to this dance of sacred imagination? 
Satisfying our purpose is dependent on our ability to recognize and honour our soul-scriptures for this lifetime.

Our soul-scriptures are that unique combination of experiences, callings, key relationships and archetypal pathways that live at the heart of our transformation.

Are you ready to unlock the encoded destiny that lives in your bones, the true-path you are here to walk, the lessons you came here to learn?
Together we will learn to..
      












      *Actualize your potential
      *Serve the world with your gifts
      *Honor your soul scriptures
      *Recognize the lessons you came 
here to learn
      *Embody your authenticity
      *Clarify your true-path

 
 
 
 
As we deal with the challenges, pressures and distractions of daily life, do you easily lose sight of your purpose, momentarily forgetting that there is a well spring of magnificence lying in wait within us.

How small we sometimes imagine ourselves, how quickly we hide our light under a bushel of shame.
 
Yet we are each so brilliant, so gifted, libraries of unlimited possibility, soul-scriptures waiting for us on every inner shelf.
 
Our sacred purpose is hidden from view, it may be covered in dust, but its' still in there, sparkling with infinite possibility.

When you walk through the gateway of purpose, you walk into yourself. Blessingly buffered from the madness of the world, your purpose filters out those relationships and energies that undermine your expansion.

You will be infused with vitality and a clarified focus, new pathways of possibility appear where before there were obstacles.
 
Life may still have its challenges, but you will interface with them differently, coated in an authenticity of purpose that sees through the veils to what really matters.
 
The rivers of essence rise up to meet you, carrying you from one wave of expansion to another.

Jeff will be guiding you through this course in 6 clarified stages, supporting you in identifying your Sacred Purpose and, in a grounded and realistic way, helping you to set an agenda for creating a life that reflects it.

Because it is often difficult to identify your purpose we will focus on listening in and looking for indicators of the path you are here to walk.

For some, the direction is crystal clear and the challenge relates to actualization alone; for others, the direction is undefined, and their challenge is learning how to sift through distractions and truth aches to recognize the paths they are here to walk.

Wherever you are at on your journey, this workshop will support your efforts to live a more authentic and genuinely inspired life.
  _____________________________________________________________________

Each class will be held on-line, in a reliable on-line classroom.
 
At the end of the course, there will be an optional writing assignment, an opportunity to assess where you are at on your journey of self-creation. Support and feedback will be readily available.

Jeff Brown
A former body-centred psychotherapist and criminal lawyer, Jeff is the author of ‘Soulshaping: A Journey of Self-Creation’. He also writes inspirations for ABC’s Good Morning America and gained notoriety with his "Apologies to the Divine Feminine" blog. Jeff has devoted his life to a quest for authenticity. He had glimpses of sacred purpose throughout his life, and has now reached a place where he feels aligned with his true-path. Having overcome many challenges along the way, he is realistic about the work that is necessary to both find our path and to live it. It is no easy feat, but with the right support, it is truly possible to live our purpose. Jeff is passionately determined to help others to activate their highest callings- a souljourn of essential proportions.
You are beautifully enough. Our stories of "not good enough" are fictional novels written by a culture still hiding its light under a bushel of shame. The REAL story, our TRUE autobiography, is one of inherent magnificence & courage & the divinity flowing through our soul-veins. So we decide which book to read- the fictional novel written by those who do not SEE us, or the HOLY BOOK written by our glorious spirit..


We are all sacred dynamite. When we identify our divine purpose, we explode into a world of unlimited possibility. I look forward to working with you.

Words Of Wisdom From Oprah




Words of wisdom from Oprah's final show.
“You are responsible for your life.  And what is your life?  
What is all life? What is every flower, every rock, every 
tree, every human being?  Energy! 
And you are responsible for the energy that you create 
for yourself and you are responsible for the energy you 
bring to others.
ALL LIFE IS ENERGY, and we are transmitting it every 
moment. We are beaming it...little tiny signals, like radio 
frequencies, and the world is respon
ding in kind."
Ask yourself, "What energy are you bringing to your life?"
"What signals are you sending?"


Here's a wonderful article by Eckhart Tolle in O Magazine.

Indigo's Bracelet Review and Live Chat Details



Indigo's Bracelet
Indigo's Bracelet By: Alexandra Folz
Illustrated By: Carol Ann Johnson


Indigo's Bracelet is a chapter book full of treasures for ages seven to preteen. We found Indigo's Bracelet so refreshing and captivating because Indigo was so grounded in who she is. She's alluring, animated and high spirited.


In today's world this book can help teach children how to be self empowered, learn how to be comfortable in their own skin, and be confident in their choices. Ideal for parents teaching their children how to work through everyday life experiences by being present in the moment.


There are many spiritual tools and hidden messages through-out the book. Reading about a ten year old girl named Indigo, was so empowering even to the reader to watch her self-discovery as she learned to follow her intuition and listen to her inner voice instead of believing what other people said about her.


Indigo's Bracelet left us full of gratitude for the reinforcement and rock solid support demonstrated by Indigo's  mom.
