Tuning IN Podcast Dana Evans

This week Dana talks about why being busy is merely a distraction from our life’s work. Busyness is a distraction  from going inward, slowing down and discovering what is being asked of you. In fact, she finds that many say they can’t follow the guidance of their Inner Voice because they have too many other tasks to do. She offers a simple process to release you from your task list and embrace the guidance from within. She paints a picture of what becomes possible when you focus on the IMPORTANT work that your Inner Voice asks you too do, and how you can shift you perspective on what it means to check things off the to-do list.

This week Dana is joined by a special guest, Kahu Lahela. Lahela is a Hawaiian spiritual guide who helps people develop a stronger connection with their higher self - their Divine Soul Self - so that they can be empowered to stand in their truth. Their conversation flows through Lahela’s transformation from being a photographer to spiritual guide and how she uses light to guide her work. She shares her life mantra, how she interacts with nature and what it means to move forward when you are called. At the end of the conversation, Lahela leads us through an emotional cord-cutting prayer - a special Hawaiian ceremony called Ho’oponopono. Dana encourages you listen to this episode from your heart and receive all of the wisdom that Lahela has to share.

This week, Dana did not feel like creating a topical podcast episode. She checked in with her Inner Voice and Intuition and knew it was not in her highest alignment to record. Instead of skipping this week’s episode, she decided to release a meditation instead. She feels that we can all benefit from some SPACE, BREATH and a PAUSE. The meditation is 12 minutes long and Dana encourages you to carve out the time for yourself and enjoy.

This week Dana reads a journal entry that she wrote processing the Black Lives Matter Movement. She talks about "reactive action", guilt, shame and inaction and how to move past that to take INSPIRED, ALIGNED action with purpose and intention. This is a BIG topic and Dana does not claim to have any answers, only experiences and resources. She encourages us all to spend some time processing our pain and emotions and asking really good questions. That there is power in pausing, feeling and processing emotional "bean bags" instead of offloading your white-discomfort onto someone else. Finally, she shares her vision for upholding this movement and making it a reality. She shares the aligned actions she is taking to educate and incorporate these lessons into her life and business.

What does Jack Reacher have to do with this week’s podcast? Well, Jack Reacher knows when to REST! The rest of us seem to be clueless… what happens when you have a slow time, or unexpected down time? Do you prefer to be busy? This week, Dana talks about our relationship to busyness and rest, and how we can start to shift it. She shares her own story of rest and how it lead to a very abundant time for her.
 
Now is a good time to revisit your desire to be DOING all the time, and explore the idea of BEING. 

This week, Dana shares one of the Inner Voice Types - Nudges! She talks about your Inner Voice and how it communicates to you through inspired action, synchronicities and nudges. She shares how you can FOLLOW this guidance and choose to ASK for guidance. She connects the dots between Inner Voice, Intuition and the Universe. 
 
She shares some fun stories of following nudges and asking for a sign. Hint, one includes the cutest BABY BUNNY.
 
Even if you don’t notice the nudges yet, you are constantly being guided. She shares a simple mantra to use when you are ready to receive and notice the synchronicities all around you. If you have stories you would like to share, send Dana a DM on instagram @dana_evans, she wants to highlight your experiences as well.
