Something in you already knows the way.Not in your mind — below it. In the belly. A magnetic pull so subtle you might dismiss it as coincidence. Faelan Shiva has been following that signal her whole life — and in this conversation, she and Danielle discover they’ve been navigating by the same invisible compass.✨ Book your free Threshold Assessment with Danielle:https://danielleys.com/calendarIn this episode, Danielle sits down with Faelan Shiva — priestess, astrologer, and sacred sound and voice alchemist — for Inner Space's first-ever guest conversation. Faelan’s path has taken her from a Christian cult childhood through a Buddhist ashram (where she arrived at 27, four months pregnant) to eight years of Druid training rooted in Celtic ancestral practice. What emerged is a woman who navigates by resonance — and has spent decades teaching others to do the same.This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation. Part 2 arrives on July 7.In this episode:• What a priestess actually does — and why Faelan calls it an action word, not a title• The somatic signals she calls “the mm” and “the tsh” — and how they function as a body compass• Why your body is an instrument of perception, not just sensation — and what most of us were never taught about it• The distinction between a good path and your path• The hollow bone: what being a channel actually means — and when the channel gets blocked• How to hold sacred space for others without depleting yourself• The difference between exhaustion and depletion — and why it matters for anyone in service work• How you know when you’re called to a particular work“It took me a long time to remember. Because you don’t need to develop it. It’s your birthright.”Timestamps:[
