Summary

Loves,

Today we’re diving into Shenpa—a Tibetan Buddhist term that’s translated as attachment, but it’s much more than that. It’s the hook, that triggering force that pulls us into habitual patterns of closing down. It’s the contraction reaction, not a conscious response. 

You know that tight feeling? That’s Shenpa. It’s our soul’s invitation for integrity, pushing us to grow.

Episode 145 of With Love, Danielle is about noticing the hook and making a better decision. It’s about not taking the emotional bait. 

So that the next time you get triggered, take a breath, recognize the hook, and ask yourself, What’s my soul inviting me to do here?

With Love,
Danielle

My loves, can I see a show of hands? Who knows what the term Shenpa means?

0:09.0

You're going to know in just a few minutes. The reason why I'm really excited to get into this Buddhist-Tibetan terminology is because sometimes we think we're nuts and we're really not. It's actually been verified

0:22.3

and wordified throughout time. For the most part, I try and stay away from labels because they can

0:31.8

really mess with our identity. They can reaffirm parts of our identity that we don't need to

0:36.4

reaffirm. Really, I think what we're

0:39.0

aiming for, or if one can aim, or maybe what the higher desire is to live a more labelless life.

0:47.1

However, today I'm going to give you this label. It is called Shenpa. And the reason I think

0:53.8

this is helpful is because it assists us in feeling less alone, less

1:01.4

kooky pants.

1:02.3

And we know that there is some metaphysical, spiritual, historical how-to around dissolving

1:10.7

the pain that comes with this label. So my friends,

1:15.3

today, we're going to expand by looking at our contractions. Here we go. And speaking of expansion

1:24.3

before we roll, I have recently returned from a trip to Egypt, and I promise,

1:30.7

for better for worse, I will give you the inside scoop on how my interior got completely

1:39.0

renovated by the light that is the original medicine of Egypt. But speaking of which, my dear, now very

1:49.6

obviously sister named Joey McCune, curates these incredible healing pilgrimages to Egypt.

1:58.0

This is not a vacay, although it's very bougie, and her next pilgrimage to

2:03.9

Egypt is happening February 10 to 23 and 2025. I am not an affiliate. I am just a sister of the

2:15.2

light, and a lot of people have been reaching out to me about

2:19.0

the best people to go with.

2:20.9

And you can get on a tour bus with 40 other people, and you can get the historical facts

2:27.5

and hear more about how hieroglyphics are laid out and all of that.
