The Law of Vibration: Why Your Life Feels Stuck
Want to become a FEARLESS entrepreneur and leader? Go here: https://books.ryanhanley.com
Are you stuck in a rut, or simply not matching the right frequency?
Today’s episode dives into the Law of Vibration and how Jason Shurka’s life proves that alignment creates momentum.
Jason Shurka, born into a real estate and business family, experienced a transformative 'dark night of the soul' that resulted in 23 shoulder dislocations, 3 surgeries, and nearly losing a leg and the use of his shoulder. Rising from this adversity, he embraced the Fundamental Laws of Creation and shifted his life's mission to unifying and awakening humanity to the higher truth that resides within us all.
Jason unpacks why so many of us feel numb or stuck, the subtle ways society steers us away from our innate power, and how ancient knowledge and modern science align more than we think. Together, they examine practical steps to rewire your mindset, take ownership of your life, and intentionally choose the frequency you bring to the world.
🎯 Takeaways:
Your frequency is your reality
Ownership and inquiry fuel growth
Perspective transforms adversity
💬 Sound Bites:
"You just tuned to the radio station of life that you want to experience instead of the one that you don't want to experience.”
"If you do something that will disrupt the flow of energy in your body, we call that a dis ease of energy, otherwise known as disease."
"Success is not how much money you make. I know a lot of people that are billionaires and they're miserable."
