Bio
Shannon Wright has always been an avid traveller and it was during her time exploring New Zealand in her camper van with her adopted dog, Jane, that Shannon Wright met the love of her life, Gareth (Gaz), who helped her to open up her deeper understanding of herself and what this existence is really all about. She felt their meeting to be a universal realignment to help her realize what it was she was seeking. A deeper connection and understanding of what is.
Over the following years of personal development, yoga, meditation, and pregnancy/new motherhood she began to unfold what she realized was a connection to her soul self and the spiritual realm within which we live. She has been expanding her understanding of this innate human ability to speak with spirit /passed loved ones. She believes being connected to spirit is something we are all capable of doing, it is just a matter of bringing ourselves back to it.
About this episode
Psychics, mediums, intuitive… oh my!
In today’s episode, we’re exploring our connection with ‘the other side. Loaded topic – get ready for a super interesting conversation.
My guest today, Shannon Wright, doesn’t identify with the title ‘Psychic’, due to the connotations associated with it, but she does feel her abilities most closely resemble those of a ‘Medium’. ‘Mediums’ are traditionally known to be a channel (or medium) to the spirits of those who once lived. Because of Shannon’s affable nature, I have recently taken to calling her the ‘Happy Medium’, a title she hasn’t outright rejected but one that makes her giggle with slight embarrassment. She is not someone who has been looking for a big platform for her work, she is happy with her life exactly as it is and is extremely present- I always describe her and her husband, Gaz, as ‘the real deal.
Having said that, Shannon and Gaz, who is also in this type of work, have recently been called to begin sharing their gifts on a broader scale. Recording this podcast episode was a big step for Shannon as she has never ‘gone public’ with her Mediumship. So far, all of her clients have come to her through word of mouth.
While Shannon says that she hasn’t received a lot of resistance to her work as she’s kept it quite quiet, I am aware that there are people who do not align with the idea that our spirits can leave our physical bodies after our time on earth has expired- let alone that there are people on this planet who have tapped into their capabilities to communicate with those spirits. It can open up a BIG can of worms.
But while there are many people who are resistant to these beliefs, I have also encountered many who are Medium-curious. I’ve heard questions like; How does it work? What makes a ‘good’ medium? Does everyone have intuitive abilities? (According to Shannon, the answer to the final question is a resounding ‘yes!').
This episode Is for you if you want to better understand Mediums and their process. It will definitely help you to see this work in a new light while empowering you to tap into your own intuition!
We talk about:
- We are all capable of uncovering our intuitive abilities – and many of us even have ‘guides’ that want to support us on this journey through life
- No two Mediums are the same – and thus, no reading will ever be the same as all messages are interpreted differently by the medium and client
- We can start our journey to strengthening our intuition by leading a heart-centred life.
