One of my favorite sayings that I frequently express (especially during CrossFit MFP Partner Workouts), is “Communication Rocks the Nation”. Although many of my mottos are organically created from my quirky thoughts, this expression has an origin circa the years of 2006-2011. During my early adolescent years, one of my favorite T-Shirts was depicted by monkeys sitting in colorful pods using old school telephones. The communication frequency is connecting the pods with a rainbow-like path. 

*For visual reference 🙂

Ok, so you were that weird kid that wore this graphic T often. Where are you going with this Mr. Shaman?

Remember, there is always a #MethodToMyMadness…

The most valuable component of the human experience is navigating the most difficult challenges that appear in our lives. This may seem counterintuitive, but what if we shifted our narrative and belief system that we are receiving a forms of communication through adversity, in hopes that we create a realization to find a deeper purpose. 

So the question is who, or better yet what, is communicating with us? Why does this communication come through challenges?

The universe is always supporting us to live an abundant and purposeful life. Our souls crave the opportunity to experience fear, grief, pain and even suffering in hopes to provide us a clearer path towards our infinite potential. It is easier said than done, and sometimes unfathomable to understand.

During the most difficult times in my life, I have always tried to come back to this wisdom that I learned from my favorite T shirt. Our frame of reference with communication expands the general context of workout performance with a friend, personal relationships, accountability, or even the general ability to speak. 

#Communication is about creating Freedom In New Dimensions (F.I.N.D). You have to put yourself out into the universe to find balance. So how do you communicate with your support systems when you are challenged the most? How do we accept that our soul is trying to communicate to us our greater purpose in life? 

• How do we F.I.N.D joy when someone close to us is taken away?
• How do we F.I.N.D love when we feel hate?
• How do we F.I.N.D connection during our loneliest moments?
• How do we F.I.N.D gratitude when there is a difficult change in our lives?
• How do we F.I.N.D purpose when all feels lost?

These questions I am not #HERE to answer for you. I can only provide you #GiftsForGrowth to help you understand that your journey of self discovery is not a path you are going through by yourself. Know that you can F.I.N.D non-traditional allies that are always in your favor, for example:

• Your higher self/soul that is constantly guiding you towards your greater purpose
• Spirits that are connected to your soul’s path. (Loved ones who had passed)
• Entities/Beings that are providing you messages/signs to guide your path of self discovery (angelic guides, spirit animals)
• Divine universal energy that connects us to all aspects of life (source, God)

So how do we create communication that rocks the nation?

You have to ASK for help! But first you must endure these 3 steps…

1) Be Open to Change: Let go of the belief that challenging things are happening TO you VS happening FOR you. Surrender to the idea that you are an infinite soul designed to evolve, grow, and learn from all experiences within this lifetime.

2) Alignment: Once you change your ability to think differently, you begin to take the next step of understanding where you are blocked within your conscious self and subconscious self. Begin to explore how you can improve all parts of your being. Start with simple things such as exercise, nutrition, sleep, love and gratitude. Give it your all as a whole…body, mind and soul!

3) Receive, Observe, Listen, Feel (ROFL): You are now ready to ask for help. Although rolling on the floor laughing is therapeutic, to “tap into your allies” you have to be willing to expand your consciousness.  Your senses go far beyond the 5 physical basic senses. Think outside of the box as you begin to increase your awareness. Tools such as mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and plant medicine, allow your consciousness to sense the messages being presented to you. Once you become aware, your ability to ask for help comes from energy, intuition, emotions, synchronicities, and BEYOND!

Remember, the important thing to note is that your allies are supporting your infinite journey within every single moment during this lifetime. I recommend you to be open and curious to how your allies #JustShowUp.

Most importantly, know that Your Fittest Shaman is #HERE when you are ready to ask :).
