Healing Sessions

I was able to sit with a mother who felt my loss and felt my love and held my son in her arms as gently, as lovingly, as I had and will again

Here is a summary of my experience with Shannon Jackson Arnold: I was able to sit with a mother who felt my loss and felt my love and held my son in her arms as gently, as lovingly, as I had and will again.  She held me also, in her heart, the Great Heart that does not allow the life force to extinguish, no matter how small the vigilant flame. She took me, out of modern day America, and back into the tribe of all mothers and all fathers and all sons and all daughters. And not only did she listen and did she silently pray, but she helped to cleanse me and my son of the bruises and dried blood, the broken dreams and sorrow, and reminded me, that my son is a glorious, magnificent being and it was an honor to be a part of his existence, even if only for two decades, two years, 7 months, 12 days and 6 hours. This is what happened to me today. And now, I sleep, only to dream of Our Children and their bright futures, wherever they are, and whenever they choose to visit again.

It was probably the most powerful healing I have ever received

A trusted friend recommended Shannon for helping me deal with my grief and to help move on from my ex-boyfriend's death. During our session, I felt  a very deep and powerful "letting go" that I felt viscerally. This was incredibly powerful, completely unexpected, and like nothing I've ever experienced before. The strength of it made me sit up from a lying down position. When the energy was re-balanced, which took a couple of minutes, I felt very calm and solid. I feel so much more at peace with Justin's death. I literally needed to let go of him without feeling like I was abandoning him, and that happened. It was probably the most powerful healing I have ever received (I can't believe how quickly and powerfully it worked) and I definitely would like to schedule more.

You see things and offer up possibilities that a closed mind wouldn’t see

I was sooo filled with abundant love for what we've shared and deep, deep, deep gratitude for the growth....You always validated me…always nodded..always just provided that listening sound board, never judging…you do this sooo effortlessly..it’s so very much a part of you and who you are. You asked me some key questions to help me fine-tune the substance of what I was thinking….And then further you’ve nudged me to think about what makes me feel safe…creatively….and really in life. You’d suggest things not only have I never tried but never thought to try. This is your tinkerbell gift to me: you see things and offer up possibilities that a closed mind wouldn’t see. If I had to sum up: you gave me some vital practical tools that helped me break the mesmeric medusa holds of self-doubt, obligatory-imposed responsibility, and rigidity and suffocating structure. What you’ve given me and nurtured in me and held with me and encouraged me to hold is just simply the most tender treasured gift I’ve had in a long, long while…

I am soooo grateful for the session I had with Shannon! I was at a pivotal point in my life trying to release some old beliefs and patterns. I experienced Shannon's gifts of providing a safe, non judgemental space for me to share my concerns. She asked curious open-ended questions, listened deeply beneath my words, and gently, without attachment, offered new possibilities in my thinking and way of being. She was able to support me in transforming some very old, stuck ways of living in an "either/or" scenario to a much healthier "both/and" way of thinking.  She has helped my find a new balance in my life opening up much greater freedom, spontaneity and fun!

I trust Shannon to hold sacred space for exploration and healing. Before our session, I wasn't certain if I was willing to be open and receive but I was surprised by the unbridled release of emotion. In particular, the cord cutting made a big difference. I don’t know if I can put it into words but I no longer feel unbalanced/reactive in the presence of my intimate partner. And I feel more empowered to ask for an answer to my questions. Thank you for sharing your work, your kindness and generosity with me. I feel my increased self-care is a direct result of this work. And my entanglement with my partner is much less confusing. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Shannon helped me see myself with a new clarity and wholeness. She created an authentic and soulful space that really shifted my awareness. I feel like I can move forward and fully realize and embrace the life I truly desire.

I decided to have a session with Shannon because I knew I needed some type of "time out." (I was in the midst of moving into a new house and felt manic!) Shannon's personality and voice are perfect for this kind of work — very comforting, soothing, relaxing and accepting.  

During the session, my energy shifted from busy to calm and content. I had the sense that everything is okay. Shannon is a total natural.  

— Karen Allen, author and coach, www.motorcyclemedicine.com

I so appreciated your no-rush, fully loving demeanor.  Before our session, I felt overwhelmed, but after I felt de-cluttered. I felt wonderful, calming energy and felt truly held in Love.

— Robyn Wright-Kujawski, life & relationship coach, www.something-more.com

I was delighted that Shannon "connected" with my father's soul — who passed approximately 40 years ago — to help the 15 year old in me heal and to reaffirm that we are really still together. I felt emotional when she connected with my father, in a good way, and waves of energy over my body when doing the chakra work. It was a beautiful experience.

— Cindy Vincent

I decided to have a session with Shannon because I was hurting and grieving after three recent losses.  I felt it would help me heal by having a session with Shannon. It was wonderful to feel a connection with two of the people I lost and to feel the release of energy that no longer needed to be with me. I could feel my mother's presence, love and energy flow around me. I felt more complete after the session. Shannon is great.

— Iris M.

Shannon has such an easy, likable manner that things just flow with her and it is so comfortable to be around her. I loved how Shannon described what she 'saw' in her journey with me. The images/tomem animals/power animals and their actions with me she described gave me some ever-lasting pictures that I will always remember and focus on when needed. I was so amazed that she could easily see/know exactly what I needed and brought it to me so effortlessly. You could tell this is what she was meant to do. Before our session, I'd describe my inner world as cluttered, but after I felt fresher, clearer, lighter, and 'ready'....for what I don't know yet! :) A lot of weird feelings that I had are completely gone that would just feel like they were 'tied' to me (I guess that's how to describe it).  I kind of feel like I'm starting from a clean slate now.

— Joelle Peterson

I was surprised how easy it was to work with Shannon, how comfortable she made me feel and how powerful the experience was for me and continues to be. This session has more fully opened me up emotionally, physically and spiritually. As a result of the ongoing opening, I believe I am drawing more positive energy towards myself.

— Maureen Pohle

I just want to thank you again for the wonderful experience.  Everything you did (from offering tea, to the snack after, and the beautiful environment of your home) was so professional and soothing. And the follow-up email was a perfect idea! Thanks for summarizing things that I may have forgotten once I got home.  I would love to come back for another session!

— Jan Tomskey

I contacted Shannon because I needed to feel healing, to get to a point where I could start to attempt to heal. Even after I'd committed to a session, I still felt uncertain about discussing what happened to get me to this point. But after a while I felt at ease, the event that happened to me just flowed out and I felt it. During the chakra cleansing, I felt it flow through my upper and lower body and straight to my heart. While my chakras were being cleared I actually felt a tug in my knee, my hands tingled, and I saw colors and felt movement throughout my body. Most of all, I was so happy to connect with my [deceased] daughter and to see the calmness that radiated when I saw my daughter and spoke with her. I was able to feel my daughter in a beautiful place, I knew she was okay, and I needed to know that, it doesn't matter how many hours pass by I always need to know that. I felt the love between us, I knew she was with me, but in a higher sense, if that makes any sense.  I felt her wrap her arms around me.  She spoke to me, and I to her, but I felt her more than anything and that felt so darn good. During the course of the session words came to me that sent me on a certain course, I was to let go of the hate, know she was okay, in a most glorious place and know that God is really taking care of things, it shall be done.  The lightness in me continued to flow through me all day, I actually felt "lighter" — I hope I can find that place when I need to always.

— Tammy Love

I knew a session with Shannon would be good because I know from other events with Shannon that she has a loving and open heart. During our session, Shannon invited me to consider things and offered ideas with a big space for me to not take them and choose my own. I came into the session feeling agitated, but I left feeling very "heard" and loved with a feeling of release of burden. Much blessing was received, even more than anticipated. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

— Laura Dodge, psychic medium and peace-carrier

I scheduled a session with Shannon because I wanted to make peace with my husband's passing and know that he was alright. Before my session, I was worried because my husband was a vet and suffered with tremendous guilt.  But I was surprised by how comfortable I become with Shannon and her non-judgment. I felt more at peace after our session. I am used to energy work and I felt the negative energy leave and become more balanced. Shannon is wonderful.

—  Claudia Stetz

I booked a session with Shannon because I felt many different stresses throughout the past year and felt like a healing session would help me cleanse and possibly get some renewed clarity on some things. I wasn't sure how a session over the phone would work, but during our session, I felt calmness, peaceful waves and a strong bond of love to my family/friends who have passed. The parts of the sessions that resonated the most strongly for me were the information on my father's passing and the chakra cleansing, but really the entire healing session has helped me on my own path of learning. I was surprised by how varied Shannon's knowledge was, and I was delighted to receive the confirmation that Angel Raphael was with me when I have had signs, but now I have a feeling of understanding and of love for this angel that I didn't have before. Shannon has a pure and loving light, and I am thankful to have shared with Shannon.

— Michelle Fleck

Speaking & Teaching

When Shannon speaks, I not only pay attention, I slide into another world where my heart opens to her fresh ideas. She is kind, charismatic, and intelligent. An unbeatable combination.

— Judy Bridges, author, Shut Up & Write! and Founder of Redbird Studio
