Spiritual Awakening with Shaz

Intuition or Anxiety? How to Tell the Difference
Episode 94, Spiritual Awakening with Shaz

Is it your intuition speaking, or is anxiety, fear and an activated nervous system running the show?
In this episode, I take you through the difference between intuition and anxiety in a practical, interactive way so you can start recognising what is actually happening in your mind and body.
We talk about why intuition usually feels calm, clear and simple, while anxiety creates urgency, overthinking, worst-case scenarios and the desperate need for certainty. I also explore how survival mode, trauma and hypervigilance can make it harder to trust your own inner guidance.
Throughout the episode, I give you real-life scenarios to help you test the difference for yourself, including relationships, delayed messages, tarot cards, spirit signs and those moments where you suddenly know you need to stop, wait, go somewhere or contact someone.
I also share some of my own intuitive experiences, including the signs that guided me back to Sydney, the purple elephant with pink polka dots, and the warning that may have prevented me from being involved in an accident.
In this episode, we discuss:
How intuition feels different from anxiety in your body
Why survival mode can make you scan for danger and confuse fear with guidance
The difference between a calm intuitive nudge and anxious overthinking
Why intuition often arrives before your analytical mind starts building the story
How to recognise your body's personal yes and no
Why feeling uncomfortable does not always mean something is wrong
The difference between unsafe and unfamiliar
How rejection, abandonment and old wounds can distort current situations
Why repeatedly asking psychics, tarot cards, pendulums or other people for answers can disconnect you from your own knowing
How spirit signs tend to arrive naturally rather than needing to be hunted for
Why developing intuition takes practice, evidence and self-trust
Five simple questions to help you work out whether you are experiencing intuition, anxiety, fear or conditioning
Your intuition does not need to bully you, frighten you or send you searching everywhere for more answers.
Sometimes it is simply the quiet knowing underneath all the noise.
The more you practise listening to that knowing, the easier it becomes to recognise when fear is running the show and when your soul is gently saying, this way.

Grief and Joy Can Coexist
Episode 93, Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
Grief does not disappear because you choose to keep living. Joy does not mean you have forgotten the person you lost.
In this episode, I speak with author and podcast host Lee Mackay about losing her five-month-old daughter, Taylin, to spinal muscular atrophy and the spiritual connection that helped her survive unimaginable grief.
Lee shares how Taylin appeared healthy at birth before becoming critically ill, why she trusted her instincts when she knew something was wrong, and how her daughter’s short life became the beginning of a powerful legacy.
We talk about the message Lee received from Taylin on the night she passed, the signs that continue appearing 18 years later, and how dragonflies, rainbows, music and moments in nature remind her family that Taylin is still with them.
This conversation explores how grief and happiness can exist together, how trauma can continue affecting the body long after the event has ended, and why healing does not mean forgetting or moving on from the person you love.
In this episode, we discuss:
 Why grief and joy can exist in the same life 
 Lee’s experience of losing Taylin to spinal muscular atrophy 
 The importance of trusting your instincts when something feels wrong 
 The message Lee received from Taylin after her passing 
 How spiritual signs can bring comfort after loss 
 Why a short life can still leave a lasting legacy 
 The impact grief and PTSD can have years later 
 How writing, fundraising and podcasting became part of Lee’s purpose 
 Why healing means learning to carry love and loss together 
 How sharing your story may help someone facing their darkest moment 
Taylin was only here physically for five months, yet her life continues to influence her family and the wider community 18 years later.
Her story is proof that love does not end when a physical life ends.
Grief remains. Love remains. Slowly, life grows around both.

You Slayed the Dragon. Stop Feeding It.
Episode 92 - Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
There comes a point in healing where you have to stop carrying the story of what happened as though it's still happening now. In this episode, I talk about the emotional baggage, old beliefs and survival patterns that continue influencing your relationships and choices long after the original experience has ended.
This isn't about denying trauma, dismissing grief or pretending the pain didn't matter. It's about recognising that you survived it, understanding what it taught you, and deciding that the past no longer gets to control your future.
We explore how repeated thoughts can keep old wounds active, how childhood labels become unconscious beliefs, and why forgiveness is often more about freeing yourself than excusing another person.
In this episode, I discuss:
* Why replaying the past keeps the emotional wound alive
* How old stories can affect current relationships and choices
* The difference between honouring pain and making it your identity
* Why childhood beliefs often follow us into adulthood
* How grief, anger and guilt can become confused or mislabelled
* Why your body needs evidence of safety, not positive thinking alone
* How changing your thoughts, words and focus can change what you create
* Why you are your own rescue
* How to stop giving people rent-free space in your mind
* What it means to recognise yourself as the victor rather than the victim
You have already survived the hardest part. You slayed the dragon. Now it's time to stop feeding it, leave the past where it belongs, and build your future from who you are becoming.

Decoding the Body's Messages with Rachel Farnsworth
Episode 91 - Spiritual Awakening with Shaz
What if your body is not betraying you, but trying to get your attention?

Episode Overview
In this episode, I speak with clinical hypnotherapist and author Rachel Farnsworth. We explore the emotional stories, subconscious beliefs and old experiences that may sit beneath physical symptoms.
Rachel shares how her own journey into hypnotherapy began. She talks about supporting her daughter through an autoimmune condition, and why curiosity became such an important part of healing for both of them.
We also explore how childhood experiences can create beliefs that follow us into adulthood. We look at the way triggers can reveal deeper wounds, and why the body may hold onto emotional patterns long after the original event has passed.
Rachel's book, Decoding the Body's Messages to Unlock Your Wisdom to Heal, explores these ideas in greater depth. It offers a different way to understand the relationship between the mind, body and spirit.
This conversation is a reminder that you are not broken. Your body may simply be asking you to listen differently.

In This Episode, We DiscussHow the body may communicate through physical symptoms
The connection between the subconscious mind and emotional healing
Why childhood beliefs can continue shaping adult life
How triggers can point towards unresolved wounds
The emotional meaning Rachel connects with different areas of the body
Reframing trauma through strength rather than identity
Why healing is often about reconnecting with who you were before the conditioning

Witnessing Pure Channel: The Night Spirit Painted Through José Medrado
Episode 90: Spiritual Awakening with Shaz Podcast

What does channeling look like when you can physically watch Spirit move through someone’s body and create recognisable works of art?
Episode overview
In this episode, Shaz shares her experience of witnessing Brazilian medium José Medrado channel master painters, including Renoir, Monet and Van Gogh, during a live spiritual painting demonstration.
Over the course of the evening, José moved in and out of trance while ten paintings were created in just over an hour. Some took only two or three minutes, while others took longer as different energies, techniques and artistic styles appeared through his body.

Shaz describes watching José’s eyes roll back, his body shudder as the energy entered, and his posture, facial expressions and hand movements change with each painter. Working mostly with acrylic paint, he used sponges, scrapers, his fingers, his hands and only a small number of traditional brushes.

The paintings were created while his eyes were closed, yet José reached for specific colours and tools with certainty. Each artist appeared to bring a different speed, movement, physical expression and style.

Shaz also shares the moment she instantly recognised a Monet painting before the artist’s name was announced, followed by a Van Gogh work containing the familiar circular movement she associated with his art.

This experience became more than an evening of painting. It offered a physical demonstration of trust, surrender and what can happen when someone allows themselves to become a vessel for Spirit.

Key takeaways
Channeling can create noticeable physical changes in the voice, posture, expressions and movements of the person receiving the energy.
Spirit personalities can retain their humour, preferences and individual characteristics.
José used acrylic paint because it dries faster than the oil paints traditionally used by many of the master painters.
Different painters appeared to influence the tools, movements, speed and techniques used during each artwork.
José explained that not being an artist himself allowed him to channel without his own established artistic style getting in the way.
Deep trance channeling requires trust, practice, surrender and a strong understanding of your own energy.
Spiritual gifts can be expressed through painting, writing, music, healing, speaking, business and many other forms.
Gifts become more powerful when they are shared in service rather than hidden from the world.
Highlights from this episode

Shaz shares José’s funny story about Renoir waking him during the night and insisting that he find a particular shade of paint.

She describes watching the energy move into and out of José’s body as each painter stepped forward.
José began and finished the demonstration with Renoir, allowing Shaz to recognise the same mannerisms, expressions and energy when the painter returned.

The second completed painting was instantly recognisable to Shaz as a Monet because of its flowers and distinctive style.
Another painting included circular movements that immediately reminded her of Van Gogh.

One spirit appeared shorter through José’s hunched posture, while another seemed taller and more elegant through the way his body moved.

The artworks were created using sponges, hands, fingers, scrapers, brushes and different methods of dabbing, smudging, blending and layering the paint.

Shaz reflects on the trust required to step back from the conscious mind and allow another energy to work through the physical body.

José’s paintings support charitable work and services in Brazil, turning his spiritual gift into practical service for others.
