A few years ago, I started to grow a mole on the tip of my nose. It began very, very small and slowly started to grow bigger. After about 8 months of observing it grow a little bit bigger over time, I decided it was time to stop and have a really good look at this.
I did have an issue with the way that it looked on my nose, but bigger than that was the fact that I could feel something was being expressed to me through this suddenly appearing on my nose. It felt like this mole had something to say and that it was there for a reason. I had a pretty good feeling that the mole growing on my nose had a lot to do with me lying to myself, in the same tradition as Pinocchio lying and his nose growing bigger. I could feel that I too had been lying to myself and therefore to others, and my body had found its own way of letting me know… which was ‘smack-bang’ right in front of my face – literally.
There are several variations of the story of Pinocchio but I like the one in the Walt Disney film. In the film, the puppet comes to life with a promise that he can become a real boy if he proves himself, ‘brave, truthful and unselfish’. The next day his father sends him out into the world, carrying his book, pail and bright red apple, with a joyful skip in his step, off to join the other boys and girls. On his way, he gets spotted by a couple of unsavoury characters; they trip him up and then lure him with the promise of fame and fortune. Pinocchio goes on a journey of epic proportions, encountering all there is in life to take him away from that joy and truth he began with. Along the way he does some lying to the Blue Fairy that brought him to life to mask the steps he had taken away from himself. She says to him, “a lie will keep growing and growing, until it’s as plain as the nose on your face”. It is a very powerful and symbolic story when you apply it to real life and to my situation….
So I decided to address the mole on all levels. I began looking at my life and the lie I was becoming more and more aware that I was living. I could feel there was so much more love to be expressed. I could feel how much I was holding back with not only my family but with everyone, from simple things to bigger things, the important words I felt were being held back. There was a joy and a truth that I could feel within me yet found difficult to hold in my life, and there always seemed to be a lot of things that would come in the way of it being an easy and natural way to live. So it was time for me to begin to look at this on all levels.
I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing, yet the way I was living was so far from the amazingness I could feel. I began to look at how I was lying to myself about just how amazing I was. I started to look at it all differently, from within me, out – and could feel that the amazingness came from a simple way of living and being: that I didn’t have to be something and achieve something of epic proportions in the world because I was already feeling all of these amazing yet simple things from within but hadn’t learnt how to appreciate them and bring them into my life.
In addition to becoming more aware of all of this, I made a doctor’s appointment. The doctor took a look and confirmed that yes, it was a mole growing on my nose, and that it was quite rare for someone over 30 to grow new moles but yet – there it was. I asked for a referral to a plastic surgeon to have it removed, which I was given, and off I went home.
I was very committed to the fact that I was not going to have this mole removed without truly addressing the underlying causes of why I felt it was there.
I went home from this appointment and within 24 hours, came down with an intense flu. I had fevers for days, could barely eat or get out of bed. On the first morning after the flu began I woke to discover that the mole on my nose was suddenly bleeding. I felt this was strange, there was no physical reason why; I hadn’t bumped or scratched it but was too sick to take much notice.
Over the next few days, the mole proceeded to literally fall off in bits so that by the time the flu was complete, the mole was completely gone from my skin and to look at my nose you would never have even known the mole was there. It was a far more amazing surgical job than any plastic surgeon could have done.
It was an amazing miracle, it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true; the connections between my body, health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis.
Losing the mole was a miracle, a gift I had given myself in my commitment to the truth. I did not want to go back to the old habits, patterns and behaviours that would have allowed the mole to be there in the first place. When the mole was there, I could not ignore what I felt when I saw it daily in the mirror. Now that it was gone and through this healing taking place, I had a new marker in my body that could never be forgotten. So the mole had turned into something truly positive and powerful. This skin mole was a gift and through the healing that took place, I had a whole new level of awareness that I could call on each day.
I can thank Serge Benhayon, who has inspired me to trust what I feel, to honour that there is more to illness and disease and to life in general than what initially meets the eye; and for reminding me of the joyful story of Pinocchio, which contains a lot of truth through its symbology.
The Truth about Serge Benhayon 
’The connections between my body health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis’, is a powerful statement, Shannon. Everything about this blog is so beautiful to read. How everything that appears matters, it isn’t just a growth, it isn’t just an accident/incident etc, it is everything that we are part of. So it means we can heal most things, we just need a willingness to observe it from this perspective, knowing there is also support from the medical perspective too.
This ‘whole new level of awareness’ allows us to live from a new level. A level many are not aware of, until we meet people like Serge Benhayon who truly only inspires us that we have the answers to, many of our ailments, if we are willingly and open to look at it from this perspective. If not, then thats ok too.
Thank you Shannon for your sharing and I love how the body knows to communicate to us in the way that it does. The true lesson for us all is to learn to listen to the body and hence heed what we feel.
Yes Henrietta, the body’s communication is always there. Shall we listen to it more often and see what it is whispering or saying to us on a daily basis? It is constantly talking to us. What conversations is it going to have with you today?…
It is the how we put up with things, until they become right in front of us, so then it has to be addressed. I love your blog Shannon, and the outcome of it all. By just being aware of something is not right is enough to bring it all to a head, and then the miracle happens.
The skin mole was a gift, ‘This skin mole was a gift and through the healing that took place, I had a whole new level of awareness that I could call on each day.’
Gosh arn’t our bodies amazing there is nothing we can’t know if we listen to this inner wisdom.
I love how we are supported to get to truth, to heal and to evolve – it’s totally awesome!
I love what you share in this blog, it was a miracle, ‘ it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true; the connections between my body, health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis.’
I love your commitment to finding the truth here, ‘I was very committed to the fact that I was not going to have this mole removed without truly addressing the underlying causes of why I felt it was there.’
“a lie will keep growing and growing, until it’s as plain as the nose on your face”. Everything has energy including lies, that energy doesn’t go away and has to be managed so to speak once it’s out there. Lies have a negative presence which is why they don’t feel good to us when we tell them or hear them.
‘It was an amazing miracle, it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true.’ This is a pretty cool story but what shines through throughout is your commitment to the truth and how that absoluteness brought about this amazing healing.
I had a lump in my breast and had it surgically removed recently. I so was hoping it would just disappear one day, just like your mole did! It just fascinates me endless when I hear a story like this. How truth-full our body is.
The body’s communications are wide and varied and so great when we can really feel what is going on, and surgery or no surgery as long as we are willing to explore, and understand, the body and our Soul can work with us in magical ways.
Yes I agree and yet it is also such a great example of not walking away from your responsibility to yourself. It is vital we take illness seriously and get all the support that is available whilst still considering the care we need to offer ourselves when we are asking why.
What a great story and the moral “there is more to illness and disease and to life in general than what initially meets the eye”. We can see illness as our body letting us down or we can take a moment and ask why.
Amazing what our bodies tell us, its beautiful to really listen, nothing beats it.
We are amazing and equally how our body constantly communicates to us is amazing, ‘I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing, yet the way I was living was so far from the amazingness I could feel. I began to look at how I was lying to myself about just how amazing I was.’
I’ve found in some cases the reverse. If I read the energy of the condition the pain doesn’t get worse but actually reduces. Even though it would be considered quite a serious and painful situation for most I recover and bounce back quicker.
“I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing” Same here and it’s inspiring to read this blog at the moment as this is exactly what I am exploring at the moment.
If you have not been open to the energetics, this story would have been quite different. Wow…a mole grew on my nose, not sure why, doctor took it off, the end. When we choose to look beyond the physical, there is much to explore.
There is so much more than what our eyes can see, it makes sense to look beyond the physical.
“I was very committed to the fact that I was not going to have this mole removed without truly addressing the underlying causes of why I felt it was there.” When we connect with the underlying energetic cause of a symptom and address that with healing the removal of the symptom won’t lead to the burying of the causation and thus may prevent its reoccurrence.
Wow, what a sharing. I love the fact that this mole was right on the end of your nose and you couldn’t ignore it, and that your body was communicating a message to you. Over the years I have felt moles form and they itch as they develop but I’ve never gone to the lengths to find out why they are there in the first place and what message they have for me.
Thank you for saying that because it has reminded me of one I have growing that I have just considered a simple mole and yet now I think about where it is growing there is a conversation to be had with myself!
That is a very valid, and interesting point to consider, why moles are on our body, and what messages they are bringing to us.
When we lie to ourselves, even subconsciously, then we are lying to others. Luckily, we have a body that is honest at all times.
Without the honesty of the body I honestly don’t know where we would be as a humanity given how far from honest we are already…
This is amazing! The body truly is the marker of truth as I have heard Serge Benhayon present many times.
It never ceases to amaze me how our bodies contain a wisdom that is not yet understood by our version of science.
So true, reading this makes me realise how much wisdom am I literally sitting on, have at my finger tips etc. that I do not align to but actually go against. Time to take a look at exactly how I am living and allow the gold within to shine – however that looks like because it could be that all my unloving choices need to come out in a way that doesn’t look pretty. Whatever unfolds my question to myself is, will I commit to the body’s wisdom as my guide?
Yes. listening to our body and understanding why a symptom has manifested makes so much sense. If we don’t do so and just erase a symptom it’s possible it may manifest again in a deeper part of the body, until we address its causation in order to heal the dis-ease.
Yes, because a symptom is our body communicating something is wrong, and if we ignore that message, the next symptom/message will be louder and bigger.
How confirming of your commitment to truth Shannon. Our bodies are miraculous in all they reflect for us.
The body is indeed miraculous in its communications, and hence it is not about silencing it, but rather about listening deeply and honouring the message received. I find that it can be easy to hear what it says when I am willing to listen but to then act on what I have heard is another part that I can be slow in activating.
The more we allow ourselves to feel and read energy the easier it is to know when someone is lying, both to themselves and to each other.
There are many suttle ways that we lie to ourselves. We may not recognise them as lies, for example, we may have accepted something about ourselves that is not true, for example, that we are not beautiful when in fact we are just as everyone is. If we do not challenge that false belief then we are lying to ourselves.
The fact that you were so open to healing is what makes this article all that it is. Truly inspiring.
All of the times when we say, ‘that’s random’ or a ‘coincidence’, what if there was more going on? That whatever is taking place is designed to teach us something or confirm a feeling as you’ve shared.
Nothing ‘just happens’ even though we may choose to ignore the volume the lesson presented to us.
I love how the body naturally seeks truth and to heal all lies that get in the way. It is in the fighting our body’s impulses that get in the way of this process
Yes the body speaks to us on so many levels. Are we willing to hear its messages? And how do we respond?
Sometimes, the body is our only lighthouse to show us the way back to truth.
Everything our body shares is of crucial importance but it’s not a horrible harsh thing it reveals but a temporary phase that’s here to help us heal.
It’s amazing how our body can communicate great wisdom with us and the intelligence we can tap into if we give ourselves the space to do so…
Noses are interesting in what they represent and Pinocchio’s story is a testimony to it – as we lie our way through life, our nose tells the story as it invariably must.
As others have commented this is an not only an amazing sharing for all of us but an amazing learning for all of us reiterating just how much the body is a marker of truth and just how powerful it can be when we are honest, willing to see and truly address how we are living. Very inspiring.
If you can’t ignore a message or significant injury, physical marker or illness, then there may be something we shouldn’t be ignoring and instead could look it. It seems like a simple fact, but we so often ignore this.
I love the reading of the situation here, and how rich life can be when we look deeper at the why of life and not just the surface? The signs are there – do we read them?
I love how the body just shows us the truth, such a simple and effective vehicle.
The body is such a vessel for intelligence, it’s really amazing what you have experienced and what the body has communicated. The body’s intelligence is definitely love, as its messages are designed to bring us back to living the fullness of who we truly are.
When we look at life as important energetic events, not random coincidence we release our true healing power.
This is an extraordinary story and one which shows the amazing power of the body to heal itself especially when we are willing to look at the underlying causes that are being constantly communicated to us.
What is offered here is a true reflection of what the body can offer us when we are willing to not be healed at a surface level only.
The fact that we can search for years for answers only to realise that the truth is there with us always if we are willing to be honest, open up and look at what energy is actually behind everything.
Truly amazing story Shannon, and another example of how we can heal ourselves- no one actually heals us more than we do by getting honest, allowing ourselves to feel all there is to feel and bringing the love for ourselves and others in all we do.
“I was very committed to the fact that I was not going to have this mole removed without truly addressing the underlying causes of why I felt it was there.” I love this. getting to the root cause energetically – and then your mole dropped off. Seems like magic – but makes so much sense.
Symbolism is medicine; true one.
An updated modern day Pinocchio story with a twist 🙂
I am very inspired by your commitment to truth, Shannon. The lies we tell ourselves – we accept as truth, but our body does know true truth.
When we begin to appreciate the symbols that come up in our daily life we begin to realise there is a magic to the world around us that can teach us that human life is so much more than meets the eye.
I agree, it is so much more than just what we see, we feel so much, can we allow ourselves to really go there and read the reflection that life offers us? It offers a richness to life that is a wonder – this is what I am discovering.
So true as understanding the symbolism allows a much deeper understanding of how human life and the world around us is playing out.
I love the simple and profound message here – that the expression of truth immediately (and in this case…literally!) dissolves all that is not true, so that all that is truly true can be restored.
A gorgeous message indeed – Truth is worth standing for and prevails when we have allowed our hearts to follow its lead.
I love that the thing you had to get honest about was your own amazingness, not so much the things that were not up to scratch. I can feel how free of judgment this approach is.
What a story Shannon, I loved it. Such a great confirmation of the communication that is happening all the time from our bodies. Sometimes our bodies will keep talking until we take heed of all it’s saying.
When we wish to know the truth of things, opportunities will always be given to us to know it as the universe never holds back on us.
A truly remarkable story showing that miracles do happen when we are connected to our Soul and if we live connected then ‘miracles’ happen every day.
Thank you Shannon, this is such a great story of what happens when we are committed to knowing and living the truth.
What a wonderful story to show how things can change so much when we change the underlying energy, Shannon. I am learning that when we trust, all will unfold, looking at how you were living was spot on.. and the spot went away!
I love how honest our body can be and how they really are our best friends. Our body never judges or harms us even in the face of all the abuse we force it to endure. Yet it is persistent with supporting us to come back to truth in whatever way we can.
“my body had found its own way of letting me know” When we choose to listen to the wisdom that the body offers the truth is as plain as a mole on the end of your nose.
The thing that is holding us back is not our body and it’s imperfections and ‘foibles’ but our willingness to listen and honour what it has to say. Today so many of us treat it like an irrelevant voice, or subtitles on a film which we can turn off. Your words remind me Shannon that it’s time we stopped and took all of what our body has to share, to heart.
The body is truly amazing at communicating what needs to be looked at, if we are able to read the signs… and even more amazing once the message is understood and acted on the body heals itself miraculously.
Wow our bodies are such an amazing science, I’ve always found it fascinating how our bodies can heal themselves – I love stories like this that confirm that anything is possible.
Interesting how the real miracle here is actually the healing and clearing of the lies that we hold to justify our waywardness from our amazingness. It is not about one becoming better but rather about returning to that amazingness we already are.
Pinocchio is a great reference to how we consistently lie to ourselves on a day to day basis, we put up with things, we don’t express how we truly feel or we come to an arrangement that doesn’t press our buttons, all of which is a life we live not being true to who we are, it is amazing how when you decided to get to the truth of your mole and the way you had been living that it physically dropped off, a great example of the power of truth.
This is a wonderfull sharing Shannon . Its amazing how with your change in your livingness your body was able to heal the mole.
If for every lie we told, our physique changed the way Pinnochio’s does, we’d change our ways pretty quick I think. We worship and place so much focus on the way we appear, but if we placed the same attention on the quality we lived, the resonance of what we said, the warmth of our hugs, then we would see these lies absolutely do have an effect. The ironic thing is as you show Shannon they do end up having a physical effect – so even if we just want a beauty regime – telling the truth and living open heartedly is the greatest one I have ever seen.
When we are hurt we can say things that we know in our heart aren’t right or true. But still our mouth will role them out, almost shocked at itself – ‘did I really say that?’. There’s a sensational buzz that comes like being slapped in the face – people around you are stunned. Finally it’s like you made an impact and have been seen and heard. Apart from the inevitable verbal conflict that comes we think we can use these words of untruth toll free. But this is just another big lie like the ones we choose to speak. For these words disfigure and alter us in energetic ways we choose not to see. And equally when we express truth it can heal us all in the most beautiful way. Thank you Shannon for this powerful reminder of our true sensitivity to truth.
This is just amazing! It shows me how powerful commitment to truth is. Nothing airy fairy about it. Simply absolute power.
Getting to the bottom of this was not only for you Shannon but everyone reading this blog to feel that there is always something far deeper to feel at all levels if we choose to.
I was thinking of the story of Pinocchio this week when a pimple came out on the top of my nose. Firstly I was like, that looks awful and I wanted to cover it up the best I could but then I considered how have I been living a lie. What I could see, similar to what Shannon shared, is when I speak in a way that keeps everyone comfortable…me included… instead of saying how i truly am or how the situation really is. Our bodies support us constantly to know ourselves and to heal and grow.
Wow Shannon, proof in the pudding as the saying goes… once you claimed and committed to seeing how you were living a lie the body could heal and let what was not real to simply drop away.
The feeling of it dropping away far outweighs anything else. A lighter walk, presence and connection to living is offered in abundance at that very moment.
Great to hear this Shannon, ‘I was very committed to the fact that I was not going to have this mole removed without truly addressing the underlying causes of why I felt it was there.’ We all need to do this, if we do not address the underlying causes of why we are ill or have a symptom, then we are NOT healing ourselves, we are merely removing a symptom, which means the energetic cause is still rampant in our bodies and will deliver another possibly bigger symptom/illness at some point.
More and more people are understanding the importance of the underlying energetic component of illness and disease, a great confirmation, ‘it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true; the connections between my body, health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis.’
Extra-ordinary story – a bedtime story for the new era! This sharing has changed the way I look at things through the inspirational gift of your miracle. All I know is I felt truth in my body, and that is the change now I must live.. The way we look at things needs to come from our understanding of what the truth is, and that is in our body. What turns me away almost consistently is the pain and discomfort I feel in my body.
I have something similar to your sharing Shannon – a consistent pain that is constantly reminding me that I am amazing and I have not accepted that and consistently held it back. My focus has been to not appreciate my preciousness and be open to the truth I know and feel.
It is dismissing yourself to live away from your truth and feeling all your body. So, even though I acknowledge this pain my truth is my focus – what next is it I have to stay focused with?
And that NEXT I just felt is to do what I know best and deepen my quality.
AMAZING SHANNON EVEREST !!!
Great sharing Shannon, thank you – and resolution. And yet, even if we don’t lose the mole or heal the cancer or rid ourselves of the unwanted ill-condition we still have the opportunity to get to the same level of understanding – which is very helpful in terms of not carrying the momentum forward into our next life.
True, with the willingness to be honest with ourselves we can arrest the ill energy no matter the temporal outplay.
Wow Shannon, it’s so interesting that the mole fell off in bits. I have never heard of that happening. It is confirmation to me that every physical issue/ailment has an energetic root cause, and that the body is able to heal itself.
“Losing the mole was a miracle, a gift I had given myself in my commitment to the truth”. Shannon this line has hit a cord within me, about healing our illness. What is great is the fact that the mole was in such a public area of your body, and consequently unable to avoid it. Hence the realization and commitment of the truth. At times for me when something is less public I can get away with it, which is not the case at all. What love and healing our bodies hold for us all.
What you have demonstrated so clearly here Shannon is not only the powerful and very clear messages that our body regularly gives us, but also its inherent power to heal itself; two very important things that we so often take for granted or simply ignore. When we choose to live in truth our body does not hold back from showing us its appreciation.
Thank you Shannon for this incredible sharing, it’s my second read today and since I first came across your blog I have learnt to listen more deeply to my body and to understand it’s messages. It’s taken time to work with my body this way but recently a regular recurring pain disappeared instantly when I realised what it related to and made a new choice; it was about not holding back the sacredness I am able to live. It’s a truly beautiful story you have shared here and it highlights that when we tune into the body the answers are there, they come in a form of knowing and we feel the absolute truth of the communication.
What an amazing opportunity this blog offers – that we recognise the reflections our body offers us and the learning and healing that can arise from it if we choose to understand and act on its communications.
Through our choices we have the power to connect with the energy of truth that lives equally within us all. In my experience, this energetic shift is reflected in our physical state and we are fully empowered and hence responsible through our power to choose. Our bodies therefore offer us a true reflection of where we are at.
As Serge Benhayon explains repeatedly “everything is energy and therefore everything is because of energy” so if we are willing to entertain this to be a possibility it clearly makes sense that what has been shared in this blog about the responsiveness of our bodies and how we relate to that what our bodies are sharing with us.
You know, in a world today so fixated upon ’empirical evidence’ and the rest… we must never discount the power and enormity of potential we hold when we are willing to consider the whole, and not just ‘the part’, when in comes to true healing – as Plato so wisely referred to. Symbology, in its true light, plays a hugely significant role for us here – in accessing the wisdom we do all hold as to the root cause of any illness, disease, or indeed anything that does not flow with grace within our lives.
And it needn’t be any ‘head trip’ to explore things in such a way – it can actually be very, very simple! (A fact I’m sure that those who arm themselves with regurgitated banks of knowledge find immensely frustrating, to the point of negating the possibility altogether…)
An amazing account of how powerfully our body can give us signals about our own state of being and potential for healing Shannon, thank-you. Reading your story, I can’t help but resonate with what you’ve shared here,i.e. that: “there is more to illness and disease and to life in general than what initially meets the eye”.
In our willingness to explore, deal with and release that which isn’t true for us, I have no doubt that what we can actually let go from our body and being is far, far more than even our conscious awareness can comprehend. This feels so in the ‘dismantlement’ of your mole. Simply amazing.
Wow that really is a miracle ! From start to finish an extraordinary healing took place due to your willingness and committment to truth! Amazing and very inspiring.
I love your commitment Shannon, and the unwavering way you express, that no matter what happened you did not see the mole as the be-all and end-all of what was happening for you. This decision and choice you made to see the underlying truth, is what your body so clearly loved – and inspires me to make my choices today all about this instead of the surface as well.
Imagine how much medical research is done every year, imagine how much has been commissioned through all of time on the real cause of illness and disease. Now consider how profoundly your body changed Shannon, when you chose to honour the truth. The fact that stories like Pinocchio have been around in our society for so long, show that we really do know the ‘answer’ after all. The true illness we suffer from is pretending that the link between our choices and health is unclear.
Often times we get something from ‘nowhere’ (there is no such a thing though) that soon takes a lot of presence in our lives. It is an intense period that brings an opportunity to work with ourselves and to make adjustments in our lives so to address what is behind it. Our body lets us know when we are moving in a true way or not.
Yes, I have a similar experience with a hernia. I always knew that the hernia was there as a signal for me to pay attention to something. Also, by going into old patterns the damage to the body is a lot deeper and these illnesses and diseases can reappear a lot quicker.
Wow this is a powerful story just as powerful as the story of Pinocchio. I can see very clearly that healing is about energy, the physical world simply responds to what we have chosen
The pain that is dumped in the body during dishonesty is excruciating to actually feel.
An astounding confirmation of the lessons the body can teach us when we choose to be aware.
Reading your words today Shannon, I saw us all like radio controlled cars who have been tuned in to a frequency full of interference and fuzz all our lives. We trundle around hissing and buzzing thinking that this is our normal way to be. But when we connect to our amazingness just as you say, its like we finally tune in to correct station, and have movement, direction, purpose and charge to move together in harmony with everything else. From what you say I can see that our choices are effectively as powerful as the switch of a button. So why wait any longer to start living this way?
Just amazing to feel how you have committed yourself to embrace and take the fullest advantage of what your body was showing you. So inspiring. I know every now and then, and more often recently than ever before, my body shows me the disharmony it has had to live in, and in my honesty, I know that my stop moments can go deeper.
Wow Shannon that is a miracle and powerful message from your body. I’m having one of those very loud messages at the moment, my nose is so blocked up I can’t breathe through it, so this a great blog to read today. We are constantly supported to let go of what is not love and not true from our bodies.
I’ve always been frightened by the thought of illness and disease, but through this story I am getting closer to knowing that illness and disease are opportunities to heal what is not true and deepen our relationship with the body and life.
It makes a lot of sense that the nose is related to lying as we all nose the truth and can smell it out if in doubt.
Indeed what an amazing story of the body expelling what is not true. I wonder what part your observation and engagement in the process contributed to this healing?
I love your approach to life Shannon, taking every opportunity to turn what is on offer for you into a learning even something as annoying as a mole growing on your nose.
Boy oh boy if we were all Pinocchios the world would be full of huge noses!
I have been observing a small keratosis type skin lesion which raised it self recently above the end of my right eyebrow. I feel it has a lot to do with an untrue, ill view I have had of myself, self attacking thoughts I have allowed to run through me which do not actually reflect the truth of who I am. I am feeling as you say Shannon “I can feel there is so much more love to be expressed”, I know this is true for me too and now to bring more dedication to that.
This is a great example of listening to and working with the body, of being in relationship with yourself Shannon. I have had similar things happen with growths on my skin and having them fall off or just completely disappear after I have acknowledged them and why they might be there rather than just tried to get rid of them.
An amazing account of healing to read and inspiring as to what can be achieved when we take responsibility for listening to and addressing the signals our bodies send us.
Beautiful to read Shannon your commitment to looking deeper and finding the truth that your body was communicating to you. True miracles happen when we listen to the wisdom of the body.
Shannon your amazing blog is a confirmation how powerful we can be if we chose to be honest and truthful to ourselves. To allow ourselves to discover the underlying energetic cause of the illness we have seems to be the best medicine ever – thank you so much for not holding back such an important insight.
“It felt like this mole had something to say and that it was there for a reason.” It’s easy to brush things off as being random, just down to genes or bad luck but if we do that we miss out on learning so much. Our bodies are great communicators!
Wow what a corker of a blog, love that you share the finer details of this miracle, a great inspiration for us all to look deeper with love at the conditions / illness that come our way. There is no wrong just learning.
This blog is the perfect example of using western medicine in conjunction with esoteric medicine, for if you had of simply removed the mole without addressing the reason for it being there in the first place you would have not gotten the depth of healing your received.
It is incredible how much the body goes to great lengths to show us what we need to deal with. I am astounded but impressed by how quickly your body showed you what you needed to be confronted with, and how willing you were to deal with all that was needed. Incredible story, thank you for sharing.
to not tell a single lie is far more than what we speak, it is what we move, breathe and think, and it is what we allow ourselves to see.
Great to re-read your story Shannon. “It was an amazing miracle, it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true; the connections between my body, health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis.” So true – everyday miracles happen. Some doctors call it spontaneous remission. I never understand why they don’t want to know more about ‘why’?
That is quite extraordinary, I would love to have been a fly on the wall on the doctors surgery! What a change that would make to the workload of doctors everywhere! Honesty and a commitment to truth is an extra-ordinary blessing.
It is amazing Shannon, the way that our bodies communicate with us. I love how you share this one, and as soon as you showed your willingness to deal with what you saw was the message, the mole just disappeared. I went through a period where I realised that I had several extra moles where I had only previously had a couple, one of which was being irritated by my symbol on its necklace. I don’t remember the actual message, but I do remember taking far more care in that area, beside and just below the front of my neck, when I was moisturising myself, and then a couple of weeks later, realising that the one which was causing the irritation had actually gone. The others followed soon after. These are such a blessing for us to become far more aware of how we are living. Up to that point I had never experienced moles coming and going like that.
Wow, awesome experience and learning- thank you for sharing Shannon
I love symbolism and I love the way you were able to be so open and committed to the message the mole was bringing. It feels like all we have to do is acknowledge that there is something going on when our body shows physical symptoms of un-wellness and honour the truth that there is a true connection between the body/mind/soul. Thanks Shannon.
Shannon this is such an enlightening sharing. I have a wart that has been on my leg now for a couple of years, it has just started to break down, and with your sharing to put into practice it will be gone too.. I know there are things that I haven’t acknowledged or expressed in full too. Thank you.
“I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing, yet the way I was living was so far from the amazingness I could feel.” I can relate to this I can feel this amazingness inside me but am not living completely in a way that sustains and confirms this amazingness inside me which makes me feel less. Such a great reminder to live in a way that makes me feel more of how amazing I am instead of the other way around.
Shannon your story is a testament of the wisdom within our bodies as we need to be aware that even though there is a divine will for us to choose from there are repercussions whenever we live less than the magnificence that we all are.
The choice you made to honour the truth you felt within had a very powerful effect on your body. Currently we think of lifestyle choices that impact our health only to do with exercise, sleeping patterns and what we eat and drink, yet your blog shows that every choice has a powerful effect on the body. Universal Medicine has really expanded on the topic of lifestyle choices by sharing that as our true nature is soulful, we are love, truth, stillness, harmony and joy, when we choose to live these qualities our health benefits enormously – and sometimes in miraculous ways!
How amazing our bodies truly are and what they share with us constantly. When we call out what we feel may be happening and the reasons we get ill, our bodies can feel the truth so quickly and heal themselves in beautifully profound ways. Thank you Shannon for sharing your experiences.
You got me pondering on Pinocchio. He started off with a skip in his step beaming the joy he was. Yet he didn’t get far, was attacked and thrown off course. All that followed was a lie. When we are not living what is at our essence, it is a lie. It may have gone on for so long that we have lost sight of the fact that it is a lie. Underneath whatever lie we may have been living, or however much we may have piled on top of ourselves, deep within at our core, our divine essence remains. The joyful boy with a skip in his step is always that, it simply may be hiding.
Beautiful Shannon. What a powerful story. One part that got me was the enormity yet subtlety of the lie. We could live our entire lives in that lie. It takes a deep level of honesty to get to the Truth behind lies such as this – the lies that we live with, that are so ingrained in us and that we built a life around so that recognising them as lies is all the more harder. Yet when w go there, the grandness of the lie is exposed.
I love how you have described the story of Pinocchio and drawn our attention to the symbology at play within it. The moment we choose to not live the love, joy and truth we truly are, we choose instead to live a lie. Deep down we all feel this aching unrest, but not all of us are yet willing to admit that it is these steps walked away from love that are the source of our unsettlement.
Shannon, this is a really remarkable event. Remarkable for the fact that you had the commitment to ‘dig deep’ and leave no stone unturned in your quest for truth and hence what was revealed was so much more than if you had just had the mole removed without questioning its appearance. This is such a beautiful example that we are so much more than just our physicality and that when we honour this, our bodies are great instruments in our healing in order for us to truly live the love that we are.
What a great sharing Shannon, I too feel there is much more to medicine and our bodies and health than we have currently got to in our accepted understandings. To relate the mole to your own behaviours seems incredibly wise and that commitment to getting to the heart of why it appeared makes it no coincidence the way in which the mole then suddenly disappeared from your life. There is no medical explanation for this which is why we must go beyond that and accept there is so much more of life we can appreciate and understand, starting with our own behaviours and how they impact the world around us.
The life lesson you had Shannon, is huge, and one for all of us to take careful consideration of; an opportunity to take an honest look at how we are living, and the lies that we might be telling ourselves. I lived with the dishonesty of what was truly going on in my life for many years and know how much this impacted on my body, in the form of illness and disease, and the occasional mole, but I have also discovered what a difference it is to live in truth, the only way I choose to live these days.
Thank you Shannon for a very beautiful article, and the amazing healing power and wisdom that is held in our bodies just waiting to be acknowledged and connected to.
An amazing story Shannon, quite miraculous, and very much testimony to the fact everything is energy. It makes me wonder how much more effective modern medicine would be, if we were each taking this sort of responsibility for what our bodies show us.
Appreciating and understanding the connection between the energy in the way we live and the response in our physical body is the wisdom shared by Universal Medicine and The Way of The Livingness.
incredible sharing – thank you Shannon.
Shannon, your story is amazing. It caused me to reflect the many situations that my body was talking to me too. This is a confirmation how intelligent and wise our body is .The benefits are profound if we give it authority and not dictate to it from our mind.
‘and could feel that the amazingness came from a simple way of living and being: that I didn’t have to be something and achieve something of epic proportions in the world because I was already feeling all of these amazing yet simple things from within but hadn’t learnt how to appreciate them and bring them into my life.’ This is something I am yet to fully accept. There is still a part of me that feels I have to prove myself in some way, to ‘achieve something of epic proportions’ in order to feel amazing. And yet I know this isn’t true because the most amazing I ever feel is when I am simply, unashamedly, honestly being me.
That is a truly amazing story Shannon. Your commitment to understanding why symbols, illness and disease happen to us, and your dedication to really understand this is a blessing we can all have. Allowing this healing is very profound.
Beautiful Shannon. Life is so much more than the three dimensional we are normally experiencing as there is that much more. Everything is energy and when we understand this then we have to come to the conclusion of yes, everything that is occurring is because of energy. I can feel more and more that I do belong to this truth and considering myself less and unaware of this fact is not appreciative and honouring for the grandness I and all my fellow brothers truly are.
Addressing the ill energy we are living in brings an enormous amount of healing in so many ways, a lot we may not be aware of, in this case, in this blog, the healing was very evident!
I can’t help but wonder why we don’t get taught to deal with our stuff from a young age. We probably wouldn’t have as much stuff if we knew how to deal with it, but truthful about it. This example of the body clearing something that didn’t need to be there is extraordinary and yet we still focus on the alternative to fixing things. We have the most powerful tools in the entire universe, and yet they are the last things to be discovered.
I’m not sure there is much worthy symbolism in a lot of children’s fairytales, however Pinocchio does have a powerful message that serves us if we choose to pay attention to it. A lie never stops at a lie. It grows and grows and often get’s out of hand and it’s always only a matter of time before the truth finds it’s way to the surface.
Um…that’s incredible Shannon. I can’t believe it. Well, I can, but it’s still incredible none the less.
What a beautiful story, Shannon. I love how you took responsibility to feel more deeply into what the mole represented. Many people brush off physical symptoms thinking that they just randomly happen to us, but there is so much clear reflection and communication constantly from our bodies. How amazing that your mole was right on the end of your nose so you could not ignore it and hence embarked on an amazing healing process.
Stories like these constantly confirm to us how powerful our body is in showing us the truth, and the steps required to return to truth when we begin to wander away.
Thank you Shannon this blog is a beautiful reminder of the true healing that can take place when we listen to the wisdom of the body.
Thanks again for this blog Shannon it is important to be reminded of the miracles we can access through the honesty and integrity that listening to our bodies offers.
This is a great blog Shannon and I completely understand. I used to have big raised keratoses all over my back which I thought were there forever, however since addressing a number of issues in my life they have gradually disappeared. I love how the body has its ways to get our attention and heal.
Most of us have either the energetic or the physical equivalent of Shannon’s mole, and to bring the level of honesty that is needed is something that we all need to address… Because otherwise well, look what happened to Pinocchio’s nose!
When we wake up to face the reality and ripple effect of our lies just like Pinocchio had to, and we realise the fact that all of our habitual and familiar patterns and behaviours that have not been completely loving nor supportive for our own long term health and wellbeing we have actively fed, we open our eyes and become aware that maybe there is another way to choose to live our everyday.
What a cool sharing of how you experienced this mole, forming and then falling off! Your sharing of accepting what was happening, even just to come to a truth of lying to yourself, seems to have helped to literally clear the mole. It shows what a gift our bodies are, how they communicate so much with us all of the time and that if we simply stop and listen, anything is possible!
I appreciate the awareness you have displayed by making a connection between the mole on your nose and your lifestyle choices, think of the money you have saved on surgery
I love this comment in a very playful way “It felt like this mole had something to say”. Recently I received a communication from my hips, a strong ache. Being receptive to what my body had to say as Shannon has shared, I got a clear message, that there was much to explore in letting go of an idealised way of living and going deeper with the connection to a very tender quality within me. I am becoming more and more aware how simple it is to get these messages when open to the wisdom that can come through our bodies.
There is definitely more to life than meets the eye – or nose – and your blog introduces the importance of symbolism in contemplating the connections between body, health and illness, the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to the way we live from moment to moment.
Our bodies never lie, it is only us who can in order to prevent us from hearing the wisdom that they impart.
I have found that when we move out of sync to the truth we hold deep within, we invite into our bodies a discordant note that interrupts the otherwise perfect flow of our bodies in tune with the universe we are held in. Our bodies are incredible markers of truth and have many ways of showing us where we have allowed the disharmony to take root in an otherwise harmonious being and body. No matter how many times I hear stories such as yours Shannon, I am still left in awe of the messages our bodies send us to communicate that we have moved in a way that is counter to the love we are.
When we’re prepared to look deeper than the obvious and the assumed, into how we’re living and the choices we’ve been making, to what we’ve buried and what we’ve disregarded, then there is huge capacity for healing.
Wow Shannon this is a miracle, I love reading your blog, thank you. It highlights the fact that our body does not lie, it show us our every choice and it’s a marker of truth.
Its like we will look in any corner or crevice, any surgery or hospital ward, any pharmacy or practitioner’s room for a way to solve our ills. Yet all the time, its out commitment to healing that unlocks the amazing power of our body. Your words here Shannon, remind me how mine is ready and primed.
As I was reading this Shannon, it occurred to me that all illness and diseases come from being untrue to ourselves in one way or another. We are in effect living in a way that is causing harm and this has to be cleared in one way or another
Gorgeous comment Joshua and so well said.
How awesome Shannon, that by your willingness to be honest with yourself and realise you had been holding back expressing your love and your then choosing to accept your amazingness and love, the mole literally disappeared from your nose. This a true modern day miracle and another confirmation that the body is worth listening to, as it is indeed a marker of how we are living.
Yes Deidre, our bodies have enormous intelligence and its just a matter of always reading what our bodies have to tell us
Shannon this is amazing how you made the decision to stay with your mole, commit to the fact and not hide it or get it removed before you had truly addressed the underlying cause. Miracles happen all the time, an inspiring sharing Shannon thank you.
I will certainly look at all future skin blemishes with a new light.
Yes this is totally amazing from start to finish. I feel so inspired by what you have shared re the healing of the underlying issue and how you are now choosing to live, in honesty and truth. I am so intrigued by the linking of an old famous tale “pinnochio” to the context of your life. There is so much richness within such tales I am sure, a blessing for mankind if we take the time to appreciate it in full.
Shannon, your story is a wonderful demonstration of what can happen when we look closely at what our state of health is revealing to us. The common response when we have some sort of health issue is to look everywhere outside of us for remedies but often end up with only superficial results. So much more is there for us to discover if we are willing to observe the whole picture.
Shannon this is a beautiful story and proof again that we are indeed the result of our choices. Thank you for sharing this amazing experience.
That’s the key for me too Patricia – that our bodies will always reflect our choices – including those that are supportive and those that are not so supportive… How much we need what are bodies are expressing is related to how much true healing can occur when/if we address these issues.
Yes I agree Patricia, from what you’ve shared highlights to me that blaming others for our choices and circumstance is really irresponsible.
This is awesome Shannon thank you for sharing this and for your commitment to addressing the issue that had caused the mole and thereby healing it so miraculously.
Each and every day there is so much to appreciate about ourselves, the relationship we have with our bodies and with God. We are all the miracles and there is so much, so much responsibility to share and express.
Beautifully expressed Adele, I agree and thank you for reminding me to keep appreciating every aspect of myself, life and God.
The miracle of the body. As much as we ignore it, indulge it, make it racy or numb, our bodies keep us accountable, one way or the other, for all our choices. Thank you Shannon for this confirmation, truly remarkable.
Sure Simon our body keeps us accountable for all of our choices but the way it does it is very loving and uplifting but never to knock you down if we are willing to see it.
Wow Shannon. An amazing story, made even more so by that fact that it actually happened right in the middle of 21st century life. This is miraculous indeed, the modern day sequel to the Pinocchino tale. Thank you for sharing it.
A great sharing Shannon and one that loudly resonates within myself also. Choosing for some time to ignore parts of my body which had these brown raised mole type patches (referred too often as ageing spots) I decided to observe more deeply and not shy away and just accept this is what happens to your body when we get older. Little by little as my diet changed, sleep patterns altered and basically choosing to self nurture – over the past few years some have shrunk considerably and others just disappeared completely. Our bodies are truly amazing, a marker of how we are living.
This has reminded me of a situation years ago with a number of warts on my hands which I used to keep hidden and generally out of view. After some time I bought some removal gel and began to apply it daily but it did not really help. I was aware that due to the amount of time some of the warts had been there they were quite deep and painful to try and remove after using the gel. I also decided that enough was enough and that I had to find out why I had them and a way to change that. A couple of days later I knocked one and noticed that the edge had lifted so I soaked my hands in water to soften the skin and was able to gently remove the whole wart in one go leaving the skin underneath, exactly as described in the blog, with no sign that there had ever been anything there – in fact even better. I thought I would chance it with the others and to my amazement they all came away from my hands as if there had never been an attachment in the first place – even the oldest, biggest, and ugliest. The feeling I had leading up to this was literally of that they are not part of me, why are they there? It seems like in having an openness to a deeper reason than the usual assumptions can be enough.
Wow that’s a great sharing Michael, just having a deeper awareness and understanding can make such a a difference. It’s amazing how our body lets go and heals, if we just allow it too.
Thanks Shannon and Michael. What you are describing here is quite profound as it demonstrates the interconnection of everything that is going on. What’s more – we have such a great capacity for self healing if we are willing to take responsibility and look honestly into how we are living and the choices we have made. We all have the capacity to bury things thinking it’s dealt with, but clearly our bodies are a big marker of how much is really going on inside and out.
I agree entirely Helen. Our bodies are amazing – when we listen to them and are open to their communication we can allow them to make the choices necessary to heal and clear disease.
Awesome sharing Michael, Amita and Helen. Incredible to appreciate how amazing our bodies are, when we embrace truth and allow it to heal.
Absolutely amazing Michael – this story is a blog in its own right. You remind me that being open to truth is a hallmark of responsibility.
The power of symbolism is incredible. It allows us to stop and take stock of what is really going on. A great turning point in sharing that the lies were holding back the enormous love that you are.
“… I was already feeling all of these amazing yet simple things from within but hadn’t learnt how to appreciate them and bring them into my life…” I love how you have explained that this is the lie you were living. This is so timely for me to read because I am not fully appreciating and struggling to appreciate the amazingness of me – and so my negative thoughts and movements are not a reflection of who I truly am – and this is a lie I reflect in my day. Thank you Shannon – profound.
Your story shows us that there is a possibility that things that happen to us, don’t just ‘happen to us’ and that there is a relationship that we have with everything. These events can be a great healing indeed when we understand why they have happened and how we can evolve to being more loving and true with ourselves.
What a remarkable series of events. Just shows the magic which is possible in life when we listen to, observe and honour the messages that our bodies give us. I completely agree that ‘there is more to illness and disease and to life in general than what initially meets the eye’.
I’m related to Rudolf the Red Nose Reindeer because whenever I lie to myself my nose turns red and I mean Redolf red. If I eat sugar – red, if I have too many nuts – red, if I’m being too hard on myself – red, if I’m upset – red. I can feel that it’s red also as my nose gets very warm. Next time this happens I’m going to do what Shannon did and look at why I’m lying to myself, hopefully my nose wont drop off like Shannon’s mole.
You illustrate Shannon with this story that the greatest lies that live in life, are not that someone stole a pile of money or had a secret deal, but that we hide and reject our real nature, the truly beautiful way we are. You capture in this simple story how illness stems not from horridness or imperfection but from our denial of the grand way we are actually made to be.
We often think of lying as something we do to others, about unsavoury or unsightly matters. I love how here you show Shannon that you were lying about how amazing you were. It’s like this was under you nose the whole time and your body simply helped you to see what you are here to truly be. What powerful and truly miraculous healing can occur when we accept the truth and commit to honouring our body.
Wow Shannon that is literally nothing short of a miracle, I can’t say I’ve ever heard anything like what happened to your mole before. But then again so much has changed in my own life that I would have classed as impossible once upon a time when our choices and the energy of such are considered. And it was really cool to read how you were willing to get to the root of the matter, not from focusing on the surface illness but willing to look at the soil (your choices) that allowed such a root (energy) to be there to eventually flower (the mole).
This is a great story presenting that all that we feel is to be taken seriously and that our bodies will tell us when not honest, and give the possibility to heal that what has caused the illness in the first place, when we are truly honest with what is going on.
To me you story is yet another proof that our body speaks to us and that when we don’t want to listen it simply makes sure we can no longer ignore that something needs our attention. For me this is a reminder that being aware something is up is not enough but I should also be willing and committed to look below the surface.
Thank you Shannon for ‘reminding me of the joyful story of Pinocchio, which contains a lot of truth through its symbology’ and provides a great reflection for all of us in our everyday lives.
Thank you, Shannon. What an amazing sharing showing how our body really is the marker of truth reflecting our choices, and it’s there to support us if we let ourselves become very honest and ready to address the core issues – and this level of healing would not be possible if we didn’t have the awareness of what part of our body expresses what energetically, so my huge thanks to Serge Benhayon for bringing esoteric medicine.
I came back to this blog, and it reminded me again of the lie that we all live. Yes I could list all the negative ones, but the one that really hits home is “I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing, yet the way I was living was so far from the amazingness I could feel”. That one really hurts.
we always have the opportunity, when confronted by something that has happened to our body to feel into it on a deeper level, and to learn something for our own evolution (personal development)… Always.
Wow, Shannon, this is so amazing – both the miracle that occurred and your willingness to commit to truth. Knowing that illness and disease are are blessing is empowering.
This is true for me ..”I could not ignore the constant sense that I was amazing, yet the way I was living was so far from the amazingness I could feel.” It spurs me to look deeper.
I have moles on my face and have never really come to terms with them. And one on my nose. I ‘ve not contemplated them deeply but always been self-conscious of them. It’s an incredible story Shannon, you’ve given me much to ponder about my own moles and why they are there. Thank you.
What a miracle Shannon! I didn’t expect that as I was reading your blog, I thought you would say that you had been to the plastic surgeon. And yet not surprising because you allowed yourself to feel the full extent of the message for you. It is so important that we share our miracles. You have inspired me to feel the full extent of my readings for myself and also to share them.
Thank you for sharing the miracle of the mole Shannon and your unwavering commitment to understand what message it was bringing you. A wonderful reminder to take an honest look at ourselves, as to the life we are living – are we being true to ourselves, or are we actually living a lie? And as your story clearly shows, living a lie will eventually catch up with us, one way or another.
Hi Shannon, great to read this, I have also had the experience of having moles and warty things appear and grow on my various parts of my body which have literally self destructed and fallen off once I came to an understanding of why they were there. Sometimes I ‘get it’ quite quickly and at others I am a bit more stubborn about it. When the stubbornness is there I will get more reminders in other ways, these things are always right in front of my nose! Loved your comment about your car and its power booster as well.
The communication from our body is always speaking to us every moment of the day. When we connect to it and listen, feel what it is sharing it can open our awareness of things we may need to look a little more closely at. Whatever choice we make it is just another step on our journey.
Thank you Shannon for your very inspiring blog. It reminds me on – there is no coincidence and everything around us is a reflection on how we are with ourselves – connected or not connected.
Wow Shannon – this just sings how there is so much more to see than physical ailments, and that by acknowledging why there changes in our bodies can be the best medicine. I love this story and how you really did get the message of how lying can impact ourselves and others. What amazing opportunity to let go of what is not you.
This is a great lesson to not look for a solution straight away.
As we can learn a lot from how a physical aliment came to be as we can from how to remove it.
This is a topic I need to be more open with, as these events do take place daily.
This is a great sharing. I have become more aware recently of how much I am not being as honest as I could be, especially in social situations and realise that it is only when I am not connected to myself at the level that I am being met that I feel it most. Having had my attention brought to these situations it is now up to me and, as you say, there is a great opportunity now to choose differently, to deepen my connection with me in my body and express much more honestly, or indeed, truthfully.
Thank you Shannon for sharing so honestly your story and the willingness you had to commit to looking deeply into what was being shown to you. Our bodies are amazing, being miracle workers, they are showing us moment by moment where we are at, and the opportunity for us grow even more in our amazingness.
Wow, how powerful are we?! I like how you took yourself to the doctor to get it checked, got the referral and then took time to really see what your body was sharing with you. Great love Shannon.
There is a great example of taking responsibility here – making sure that no stone is unturned either in what Shannon can bring in greater understanding and what she can effect herself, while at the same time looking to see what western medicine can advise.
Our own plastic surgeons..very powerful, thanks for sharing
Our bodies are speaking to us all the time but what I notice is that the mind thinks it knows best and will over ride the body. Your experience Shannon showed that it was time to listen to the body – ‘it was as plain as the nose on your face’. Your flu symptoms were able to come in once the work was done and literally burn off any remaining unfinished, unexposed untruths. Thank you for sharing how simple it can be if you are open to going deeper and accepting the truth that is there to be known.
Ha Hah ch1956, we are so good at ignoring and overriding the obvious reflections and messages we are constantly receiving in life and from our body, maybe because we would have to take responsibility for the way we are living and that we chose that in the first place.
Shannon your describe in your honest blog how true medicine should be. Looking to address truly the underlying causes of a medical problem and seeking medical advice as well. For me both are belonging together for a true healing.
Wow Shannon – thank you for sharing this as it is a miracle on many levels. You are a living testament to the truth of teachings of Ageless Wisdom as presented by Serge Benhayon. That there is more to us than meets the eye and when we choose to be honest with ourselves and connect to this, to our essence, our truth and love, and our divinely designed bodies, we can be guided to make the choices that support us to live harmoniously with ourselves and all others. Thank you again Shannon as your story is nothing short of inspirational.
An amazing story Shannon and a beautiful cconfirmation that what you had been feeling in you was true. It’s wonderful how the body communicates with us if we connect and listen to it.
Shannon, your story has hit a spot in me. I have been aware for some time that my body is full of love but I am struggling to express this in full in my day to day life, hence the ‘lie’ that is in my life. I now feel I have been given a gentle reminder to get back ‘on track’ and put an end to the ‘lying’. Thank you.
Wow, that is truly amazing and what a gorgeous confirmation of everything Serge Benhayon has presented. It is interesting that Pinnochio is the most translated Italian book and after the bible the most read… there is a truth within that must resonate with many.
Well that’s a very cool experience… thank you for sharing this miracle with us all. It’s also great to hear about the story of pinocchio and how that can be related to real life very easily.
This is a really amazing story Shannon. Instead of going straight to vanity and having the mole removed, you completely addressed it energetically within yourself and it’s like your body rewarded your honesty with a full body clearing which included the mole falling off! Amazing – another living miracle in action.
O totally agree Jo and Shannon. Most people would go for the easy plastic surgery option and not bat another eyelid. What you share here Shannon is very empowering, for when we address the issue at the root level which is always energetic and take the practical medical steps as well, we are saying a massive yes to us, not just to our health but to our entire being.
Agreed Jo. It’s miraculous how the body communicates. I have been very arrogant about my body in just making it about flesh and blood. I feel a deepening of my appreciation of its truly amazing qualities.
I know Jinya, it is easy to make our bodies about flesh and blood and this is the way we are brought up. Deepening our understanding and appreciation of the energetics of our bodies is an amazing unfolding and one that brings constant surprises.
This is truly an amazing story Shannon, full of wisdom and inspiration.
“It was an amazing miracle, it was a confirmation in me of everything I felt to be true; the connections between my body, health and illness and the underlying energetic causes and how they relate to everything about the way I live on a day-to-day basis”.
Such a powerful message here for us all; thank you Shannon.
Thank you for reminding me of the story of Pinocchio. I love the way you summarised his adventure and explained that Pinocchio lied to hide the steps he had taken away from himself. I can feel how simple and natural it is to live true to myself and how I too have lied to myself and others to cover up the steps I took away from this easy and loving way of being. This is a great reminder that the truth is powerful and definitely sets us free.
What happened to you was a true miracle that happened because you dealt with the mole in such an amazing way. So, we have the power of miracles as much as we are living miracles!!
We are miracles waiting to happen and all we need do is live the love within our hearts and nothing less.
I love the honesty with which you are sharing Shannon and the fact that you wanted to get to the truth of what was underlying this mole. A miracle indeed from the clearing your body did to the willingness to ‘go there’ and the trust and dedication you had in yourself. It’s all magic.
Thank you Shannon and Jennifer, I agree the magic of God and truth go hand in hand. All we have to do is feel the true joy that is presented to us in every moment and then we get confirmed through the magic of God in so many ways. As a Son of God how could we not feel the truth and love provided in those moments!
I was grinning through the beginning of this post, not because I am a sadist, but because the feeling was light and joyful even though the story didn’t begin that way. It was a joy to read and the way it completed, was wonder-full and truth-full. So many signals in our lives informing us of our choices moment to moment, some as plain as the nose on our faces! (sure this is not the first time this was stated, although I haven’t checked above comments)
Wow Shannon I love how committed you were to feeling all that there was to heal, and how amazingly your body responded.
Really appreciating this lived example that the body has to live everything we choose.
I love what you have shared here Shannon, it is a great reminder to trust ourselves and to look deeper into the choices we make and the way we live our lives. The body is amazing in the way it so clearly shows us the truth of our choices, never waivering in presenting what is needed to be seen and felt, just waiting for us to listen and feel. Thank you for sharing your powerful story.
What a story to share Shannon thank you. Nothing is placed in our way as an obstacle rather an offering of awareness if we are open to it.
That is exactly true Paul. It is all in the way you look at it that allows for the freedom to see things as they are.
‘Nothing is placed in our way as an obstacle rather an offering of awareness if we are open to it.’ What a beautiful way of looking at what so often seem the challenges of life. Thank you for sharing PaulMoses.
Wow Shannon what a beautiful example of listening to the body.
I also love how your article exposes that living and knowing the truth can also be what we don’t express and how we hold back. It’s all in our choices.
I had an experience over the past week that reminded me of the experience with the mole. I have a car that has a switch called ‘dynamic mode’ where the whole car adjusts and comes alive in a new way, it has more power, the tyres and suspension adjust etc. This switch hasn’t worked for a little while and I have often tried it when driving only to find it doesn’t come on. In the back of my mind I had an awareness that the switch stopping working, related to me not being and living how amazing I am and how powerful I am.
Last week, I re-connected to this feeling again, feeling amazing and powerful and was out driving and felt to give it a try after not even having tried the switch for ages. And what do you know – it worked. I then passed someone I knew in my car soon after and was joyful to see them but then had a thought that allowed me to play down how I was feeling, and like a leaky balloon full of air I started deflating.
I stopped the car (which turns the switch off) and when I got back in the switch would not turn on again in my deflated state (no surprises).
I had observed different feelings throughout the week as the switch was again not turning on until eventually dealing with the issue and coming back to that same state of feeling amazing and powerful. Straight after, I drove to the bus stop to pick the kids up from school and tried the dynamic switch and it worked. It seems like a minor thing but these symbolic moments are happening all of the time with so many different things, moments of truth expressed back – if we are willing to listen.
It is also such fun, as well as am amazing support and assistance if we choose to be open and to work with all of these amazing messages which are there for us all of the time.
“It seems like a minor thing but these symbolic moments are happening all of the time with so many different things, moments of truth expressed back – if we are willing to listen.” – Hi Shannon, thank you for reminding us that these symbolic moments are happening all of the time.
And a good reminder to myself again. There is so much going on in the detail of life. I was looking at some photos earlier today that I had taken of a friend and there is so much in the detail of how she felt in each photo, as well as in the background, the amazing activity of nature and light.
Shannon I like your analogy of the leaky balloon and feeling deflated. Our life is a constant reflection to us and because we can’t walk around in front of a mirror 24/7, God uses symbols, feathers, leaves and in your case your car to communicate to us. It’s so glorious when we realise the message being sent.
Powerful reminder our bodies are in constant communication if we choose to see/listen/feel what is being communicated. It’s so amazing that our bodies will put a stop to our ill patterns/ behaviours by encouraging us to look at what is really going on.
Dear Shannon,
A miracle on all levels. I love the determination to clear the energetic cause of the mole that you applied to your life. This determination and commitment to truth, is something that I myself am just beginning to have huge respect for. I personally am feeling in my body that when I stray from my center, the place I feel when I am connected to my heart, that immediately my body tells me so, through tension and pain. This is so amazing and is a massive incentive to me to stay present and express truth.
Hi Leigh,
The mole itself was quite small and could have been ignored or brushed over. Yet, what it was communicating was so loud it was unavoidable. It did take courage to really go there but actually once you go there it is just a surrender and it then takes its path of course.
I know what you are saying that the mole could have been easily ignored, but what it was communicating was unavoidable. I am quickly becoming aware that nothing is to be ignored. I have had many experiences of late where something little will annoy or bother me, each time I have felt the truth of why has been very healing.
Great expose on how to feel deeply what is being presented by your body and feeling into life, how you are in it and the quality of choices you were making. Really amazing honesty and courage to look within.
Ahhh, Pinocchio, you just can’t lie, you’re too super-duper amazing 🙂
Thank you, Shannon for the very beautiful revelation and confirmation of the fact we all know truth from within if we are willing to be honest with our awareness.
I first started reading this blog with a reasonably open mind. By the end of it, I said out loud ‘wow’ and have a much more open heart to the underlying message. This story is the embodiment of personal responsibility and an energetic shedding right in front of your face. It’s completely symbolic, or in the flesh – for so many different aspects of ourselves that will follow the same discarding process – that are not always so demonstrable.
Awesome blog Shannon, I feel inspired by your level of commitment to yourself in taking full responsibility in what needed to change but also highlights the power of connecting and honouring our bodies and how all illness and disease can be traced back to behaviours and patterns that are not serving us in any way.
Hello franciscoclara8 and well said, “the power of connecting and honouring our bodies and how all illness and disease can be traced back to behaviours and patterns that are not serving us in any way.”
Thank you Shannon for sharing this awesome experience with what our bodies are capable of. Your honesty and openness to what the mole was telling you about the way you were living is very inspirational. I can relate to feeling the joy and truth inside but not yet living this in full. “I began to look at how I was lying to myself about just how amazing I was”. This sentence stood out for me, I have never felt or seen it in this way, but it is true I am lying to myself about my amazingness. Great insight to become more honest because I know I am, we are amazing!
Shannon, your experience is incredible. Well done for having the awareness to look at the issue behind the mole in the first place and not accepting that it “just happened”. Things don’t “just happen”, our bodies DO tell us, and if we choose to accept this and honour our feelings and start listening to our body, as Vanessa says above, magic happens when we get honest!
After all the “body is the marker of all truth”, so why would we not choose truth?
I just love this blog, it is crazy awesome! Confirming how incredible our bodies are! Magic, happens when we get honest.
It really is crazy awesome!!
Wow Shannon this is amazing. The experience that you have described is so huge but yet has such a wonderful simplicity. Being truly honest and willing to look deeper really does give the body permission to perform miracles. An amazing healing. Thank you for sharing.
What an inspiring and delightful blog! There is something about lying that makes us feel we can get away with it, even though it’s obvious to others and even to ourselves, we often think no one really knows what we are up to. Your blog is a beautiful way to look at the power of honesty and being true to ourselves. No one is ever truly fooled, especially not our body!
What an inspiring read and one that invites us to look at the things our body develops in another way. As challenging as this may sometimes feel it is maybe worth looking at our lives and considering if we have a part to play in illness or disease, then we can feel empowered and be willing to look deeper.
I love how everything in our world is a reflection of the way that we live. When something happens to our bodies it causes us to stop, consider and if willing, to go deeper. What a beautiful sharing. Thank you Shannon.
Such a beautiful blog Shannon – Such a gift we give ourselves when we proceed with truth and honesty and gently feel/work with what is being presented to us.
Dear Shannon, what a gorgeous blog. Our bodies are truly amazing and always communicating with us, you have a wonderful new marker and a knowing that we can trust that the body will find a way for us to be more truthful and loving with ourselves.
Thank you Shannon, this is a very revealing presentation of honouring the signals our bodies give us.
Hello Shannon, what a great story, you should do a movie. I love this for so many reasons but the main one is the fact of when you addressed the ‘what was going on’, the energetic side you could say the physical part followed. So when you put the energy first it truly takes care of the rest, it’s as plain as the mole on your face.
That is exactly spot on, Raymond. Everything is energy and because of energy as coined by Serge Benhayon and it certainly blows the lid on illness and disease and revolutionises our own ability to heal.
Hello again Shannon Everest, yes it’s almost like at times what we have been told makes no sense to how it actually is. You could almost say the world is upside down. Thank you Shannon.
Great sharing. I know the feeling. I know what I need to look at when I get a small white pimple. The kind of pimples I only used to get when I was in my teens. What did I eat yesterday? What happened before I ate that? are questions I ask myself. The body is so precise with its feedback. What a great marker!
An awesome sharing Shannon. The honesty you present here is a real inspiration. Thank you for sharing your experience, the message and healing your body offered you is amazing.
This is so bizarre it truly is miraculous! I love how the body can be so revealing and if you are open to it so magical!
A beautiful story Shannon, this feels so true and inspiring for me that you could ‘feel that the amazingness came from a simple way of living and being: that I didn’t have to be something and achieve something of epic proportions in the world because I was already feeling all of these amazing yet simple things from within but hadn’t learnt how to appreciate them and bring them into my life.’
Beautiful story Shannon, it shows how our body speaks to us and how our body is the marker of truth. Next to Pinocchio, “The mole on my nose” would be a great book to read to kids 🙂
Thank you for sharing such an inspiring story that invites us to always consider the ability of the body to let us know what we need to address in ourselves. If we all lived in this way it would bring a greater responsibility to consider the possible impact on our bodies every choice we make is having. Thank you, Shannon.
What a fabulous sharing Shannon. I really felt this one since I know how easily I can lie to myself sometimes. Thanks for the reminder that the truth is our path to well-being.
What a great story. I reckon it’s better than Pinnochio! I find the more aware I become of my connection with my body, the less I can get away with – which is a blessing. The mind is often trying to override the physical symptoms, trying to ignore them or pretend they don’t exist. But this can only go on for a while before the body gets very loud.
Great blog Shannon – what you have described here is a blueprint for how medicine could look if we started to really take responsibility for our health (and illness). You quite rightly and responsibly sought medical help but at the same time looked deeper into what could be the cause of your ailment from a point of view of the choices you were making in your life. If we all followed this model, our medical system would look very different and not as strained as it does today.
I so agree Andrew, but based on the way we live as a society, there is so much disconnection to the body itself, we live in the head, distracted, check-out, numb that to consider the energetic root cause of illness and disease is somehow and sadly, a far fetched way of viewing life. This could be and should be our norm. As you can see from the blog, when you trace something presenting in your body, back to its root cause there is great healing in it and the healing is deep. What I discovered is that there was nothing but an amazing love to re-connect to when I traced back the ‘root of the problem’ so to speak. Honesty and truth is something that many people too quickly turn away from because they are afraid that they will find something ‘bad’ or ‘negative’ within. But there is nothing but beauty when you re-trace your steps to where you left yourself behind.
Shannon, your wonderful blog has given me a lot to ponder on! I love your commitment to being honest with yourself and to get underneath the mole to the real issue. We are constantly expressing and our bodies communicate with such clarity that it’s simplicity just blows me away! I love how the story of Pinocchio reveals to us a basic truth regarding what happens when we live a lie. I deeply appreciate your blog, and am wondering now what other stories have such wisdom within them…..Thank you.
This is a miracle Shannon, what stands out for me is how you took it seriously and went deeper into the reasons for having created the mole in the first place. It also never occurred to me the symbology behind the pinocchio story, which actually makes perfect sense. Thank you.
Super inspiring, thank you Shannon. I love how you said this – “Losing the mole was a miracle, a gift I had given myself in my commitment to the truth.”
Absolutely incredible story, which only confirms the beauty of the body and of life itself. The magic around us all, the power of symbolism, all there for us should we choose to look, but most importantly the support from it all. As you have shown these things are not curses they are presents, to remind us to go deeper, that there is more. How wonderful is that.
Fantastic blog Shannon, and a real marker for us all to see and feel that everything counts, things don’t just happen, there’s usually a build up in how we live. I love how you took the time to truly get underneath it all and the miracle of what happened when you did. And most of all I could feel in your approach an openness and willing to look and see, with an outcome in mind – this is a great reminder of how it is to be open and truthful, thank you. And as Cheryl puts it we all have our ‘nose moles’ to look at, so I’ve got a few to address, and yep they’ve literally been under my nose all along.
Shannon I love what you’ve shared.. It’s something truly profound and what a miracle!
I get the feeling that if we all started to look at our own underlying ‘nose moles’ I think we’d all find our bodies tell us when we’re lying to ourselves using more than just our noses!
Wow Shannon just shows you what being honest with yourself can do. What a powerful and awesome miracle to witness, but it has happened because of your honesty. A very timely and inspiring blog.
I loved re-reading your blog and the words stood out for me this time were, “I began to look at how I was lying to myself about just how amazing I was.” Plus your commitment to really deal with the issue is inspirational and how your body cleared it with that commitment. Amazing!
Hi Shannon, this is an awesome testament to the fact that by being willing to listen to your body you were able to heal yourself. Very inspiring, thank you.
Its great to be offered an alternative to seeing the mole and a) feeling awful because of the change in your image and b) wanting it to be removed as soon as possible so no one else sees it. Your attitude of actually looking long and hard at it, and what was going on in your life are revelatory and revolutionary! And the results… a miracle.
Thanks for sharing this amazing story, a modern day remake of the classic Pinocchio tale. What a great example of how nothing happens for no reason and if we are able to listen and learn from our bodies it will always turn out to be a positive outcome.
Thank You Shannon Everest for sharing this. I am deeply touched by the way you have written your mole story and talked about Pinnochio. It is utterly profound.
I have often wondered why on earth is Pinnochio such a famous story and if you look at the symbology as you say the deeper meaning is so clear.
How your mole just removed itself is nothing short of a miracle but what I can feel is that you really did take matters into your own hands and started dealing with the underlying cause of what you felt this mole was telling you.
Imagine if we all started living this way and finding out what our body was telling us?
Hi Bina, I couldn’t help but want to respond to your comment.
Recently, I recognised I had gone a bit off track, I was noticing again that I could do things that I normally couldn’t get away with but was actually getting away with it. So once I noticed I said to myself, Ok I want to feel what is going on again, I recognised something didn’t feel right and immediately I started noticing… the following day I felt anxious and my heart palpitated and this happened on and off for a couple of weeks, I am back to instantly feeling the effect if I eat a food that doesn’t feel right, I then got sick with a vomitting bug. I realised I had been neglecting my body and the deeper part of myself and again decided no more getting away with this, no more lying to myself and am just about fully back on track. Honesty and truth are amazing tools.
Loved this blog also Shannon, and I would have to agree with Victoria it would make a lovely storybook for children that parents could appreciate as well…incorporating Pinocchio as you have so beautifully….delivering such a simple yet powerful message of how everything is related to how we live on a day to day basis.
Magical story Shannon which highlights the truth and wisdom we all carry within us. Our bodies are amazing, our constant companion so willing and honest with us by reflection.. if we were equally honest and granted our bodies with the same respect, we could save ourselves and others from so much unnecessary suffering. Having experienced clearing through the body I now have a deep respect for the wisdom it shares. Lets not wait for illness or disease to come knocking at our door. Thank you for your blog, it would make a lovely short story book with a much needed message for us all.
Shannon, I loved your post. I am forever amazed at what the body can do to heal itself and also to show us where we are led astray. thank you 🙂
Thanks Sue. I probably didn’t express it fully in the blog but at the time that it happened I was completely blown away by the miracle of it. I was in awe of my body and the power of when I brought my awareness of life and body into one by being really honest, that I could take command of what was happening. I didn’t actually think that the mole would do that!
Shannon, your blog bought a lump to my throat.Your honestly is inspiring.
Yes, the old lump in the throat. I had one of those the other day and could feel it as a little ball of ‘stuff’ I hadn’t said, telling me clearly it didn’t feel good to hold back. Once again our bodies are always giving us clear messages but it takes a bit of time to get used to listening and appreciating them.
Thanks Rachel…Your last sentence there is so true and it captures the simplicity. I love that word ‘willing’ and everything it represents.
What are great story and demonstration of that link between what we do or don’t do and how that affects our bodies. Thanks for sharing, I no longer need to ‘wish upon a star’ but rather follow the messages in front of my nose…
Hi Shannon, I really enjoyed this story of your mole and Pinocchio. It’s so true that there are many ways that our bodies can show us the truth. Thanks for sharing this.
Jean
Shannon this is so power-full land inspiring, thank you for sharing – the body is so very clear with its messages.
Hi Shannon, thank you for sharing your blog. Your experience takes me back to a similar experience I went through 4 years ago where a ‘growth’ appeared just below my right eye during a session in a healing course, it was Level 3 Esoteric Healing. The growth grew bigger and bigger and I too booked in to see a cosmetic surgeon to have it removed. After some time passed, a few healing sessions and more awareness of what this growth may be about – seeing the world through fear and not love – the growth simply peeled off in the shower without leaving a mark. I couldn’t believe how easily and without pain it just fell off, intact and whole. Yes a miracle…and beautiful healing.
Thank you Shannon, what a reminder and a healing for every one of us in your sharing…we are indeed so much more than we have known and lived. These true miracles are a confirmation of the power of our true possibilities.
Shannon that is such a powerful experience, thanks for sharing. It really shows just how powerful we are when we commit to our own healing and dealing with our stuff. Simply by taking responsibility for how we live and being aware of the connection between our daily choices and our health and well-being. The body speaks very loudly.
I know! How powerful we are in the simple things in life is something too that gets highly underrated. And yes the body does speak very loudly so it begs the question, what do we do that is equally as loud to not hear it, all of the time?
Very true, Zoe.
I love the power of symbology, and the living beauty of our bodies, that always show us exactly what is going on in our lives. Pinocchio is my favourite…I love the way he fights and kicks and screams against the simple fact that he is making a big mess of his life and it is “as plain as the nose on his face”. I love that this is true for all of us until we chose to wake up to the simple loveliness that is there. Your body showed how your choices were effecting you in such a clear, and really cute way… the miracle of your mole falling off like that when you chose to face the message is deeply inspiring. Thanks Shannon.
Thanks for your gorgeous additions here to the blog. Pinocchio is a favourite of mine too. It’s so spot on how it captures the joy we start out with and all of the glittering lights (experiences) that take us away from the completeness we started from. And how we lose ourselves and then attempt to justify our choices when really we wish we could just drop the whole mess (we create) and go back to how we started. And I know, of all the ways my body could give me such a clear message…it was pretty cute.
Hello Dr Rachel Mascord and yes I loved Pinocchio as well. I must admit when I was younger I only saw it as a show and not directly symbolic. Now when I watch it I can’t believe how relative it is to all that goes on with us and as you say, “I love the way he fights and kicks and screams against the simple fact that he is making a big mess of his life and it is “as plain as the nose on his face”.”
Wow that is miraculous! It is truly inspiring how our bodies really support us if we are willing to be honest and truthful!
Thanks Vanessa. I find that truth and honesty are highly underrated. We often put them into the ‘too hard basket’ or the ‘that’s not fun’ category. But the commitment to yourself and to honesty and truth definitely pays off, the rewards are priceless – you get to know more of who you truly are and then can share that with everyone.
Shannon thank you for a great blog, wow honesty is incredibly underrated and immensely powerful, and this has really inspired me – thank you.
Well said Shannon and thank you for sharing – it goes a long way show how powerful being honest and truthful with ourselves can be, and is. And yes Vanessa, it does show how supportive our bodies are and can be at getting us to be honest and truthful with the way we are living and treating them!
Shannon I agree we often put them into the too hard basket but, really by making the commitment to truth and honesty is the most loving supportive thing one can do for the self. It really is price less and pays off.
