Summary

In this transformative bonus episode of the Ziva Magic Podcast Series, we witness one of the most miraculous transformation stories you'll ever hear. This is what happens when someone says yes to their next level in the most extraordinary way. ✨ Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism. Join us now → ⁠https://makemagic.zivameditation.com⁠ ✨ Meet Shelley Smith, who survived falling 250 feet off a cliff, breaking her neck, severing an artery, and suffering two brain bleeds. While her body survived, her soul became trapped in what she describes as "the in-between", not fully alive, not fully gone, but existing in a dissociated state for four months. This episode captures the exact moment Shelley's soul returned to her body during a Ziva Magic retreat, revealing the profound difference between healing trauma in the mind versus healing it in the body. 💡 In This Episode, You'll Discover: ✨ What it actually feels like to be trapped between dimensions after severe trauma and why traditional talk therapy kept her stuck ✨ The exact moment her soul chose to fight for life during a hospital stay and how she battled all night to stay in her body ✨ Why slow, careful movement in trauma centers made her feel like she was "dying faster" and what her body actually needed ✨ How emotional alchemy helped her move from watching her life like a movie to fully embodying it through rage, sorrow, and joy ✨ The breathwork ceremony that reconnected her to the divine and restored her sense of oneness with all life ✨ What this transformation reveals about manifestation being far more than positive thinking or vision boards We explore the revolutionary understanding that true manifestation happens when we become energetic matches for our dreams by moving through what's stored in our bodies, not just thinking our way to transformation. Shelley's story demonstrates that your body is the technology for transformation. When we get out of our heads and into our bodies through breath, movement, and feeling, we access our most potent healing and creative force. If you're feeling burned out, stuck, or not fully present in your life, this episode offers profound hope and a roadmap back to your aliveness. ✨ Ready to experience this work yourself? Enrollment for the 2025 cohort of Ziva Magic is officially OPEN! Step into embodied manifesting, alchemize emotional blocks, and activate your inner magnetism.

your highest potential. And today's guest has done exactly that. I am so outrageously excited

0:18.4

to share this story with you, and I want you to hold onto your hats because you're about to hear a story of one of the most miraculous things. No, not one of

0:25.6

the most miraculous thing I've ever witnessed in my entire life. So today is a bonus episode,

0:31.5

and this is part of our Ziva Magic case study series. And this is where we highlight the brave, brilliant humans who

0:39.5

have said yes to their next level, to the next iteration of who they are. And you are about to hear

0:44.8

from one of my new favorite humans, Shelley Smith, who went from being really in a state of

0:50.3

extraordinary brain and body trauma, really stuck in the in between, like not fully in

0:55.1

her body and not fully gone. And she's going to tell her story in just a moment to being one of

like burned out and stuck and you want to be in a place of alignment

And this story is a beautiful reminder that manifesting is not about thinking positive or just

making a vision board.

1:20.6

1:26.3

that you're desiring.

1:28.6

The version of you that is actually an energetic match for the bigness of your dreams. And that is exactly what we do
