Hello and welcome. My name is Lydia and this is Align to Your Soul Purpose, A-T-Y-S-P.
The main reason that I have felt the calling to do this podcast is because I believe there's a lot of people out there who are awakening on a regular basis
and don't really have direction, don't really know what their awakening is all about, they don't know what their enlightenment is all about
and why they don't feel alone anymore, especially if you have dealt with very difficult circumstances in your life
and now you feel like there's a reason why all those things happen.
Before I delve into it, I'd like to talk about the idea of angels, ancestors, spirit guides,
families and all these other entities that we cannot see, they're not visible to us on the physical aspect,
we can't see them through our vision but we feel their presence, we hear them, we sometimes can smell them, taste them, feel them.
When I say feel, I mean on an emotional level as well as the times when I do encounter them and I feel like they're actually interacting with me on a mental level.
So, what are they here for? How do they know what we need and what is it that's about the angelic realm?
And yes, I have had several encounters, several, quite a lot. At this point in my spiritual journey,
I'm able to actually start a conversation and maintain it for a period of time with an angelic being or whatever you might call an entity.
I usually, I've got to say mostly, I work with angels of light or entities that work for the highest good.
It doesn't mean that I don't interact with others because I'm still human and I do have good and bad days and this is how I want to break it down to you.
So, whenever, because we live in a, not in a country, in a world, this realm that we are in, the physical realm that we call earth, Gaia,
it's all about free will. That's the highest law. That's the biggest, most, that's the, you cannot go past it without encountering it in any kind of way.
So, freedom is the one thing that we have. We don't know it, you know, freedom of will, you know, free will, they call it.
Freedom to choose what your will is to be, what you would like to happen, will, right?
So, there's different ways of looking at will, but I'm not talking about the inheritance.
I'm talking about your own reality, your will, what do you want to happen? What do you want to make? What do you want to manifest?
That's what it is, the free will to choose. You've got options, but we're not aware of all these things.
So, when it comes to the angelic realm, there's different ways of approaching it.
So, on the spiritual level, I normally go down to my own African spirituality, but I have delved into others, you know, I've delved into the Celtic spirituality.
I have had a look at the different mythologies as well, but I've had a look at the Hindu and Buddhism as well as Christianity, which is my base as well, I was raised in.
I was raised as a Christian. I don't necessarily identify as one right now, but you do use scripture quite a lot, the Bible.
I do use that quite a lot because there's a lot of truth in the Bible, but there's a lot of distortion as well.
And if you don't know what you're reading, you might interpret it very differently.
So, I don't, I'm not against Christianity, I'm not against religion at all.
What I'm more into is having the freedom to choose. As long as you understand the laws that govern this physical realm that we're in,
is in the reality that we create, once you understand the laws that govern that, then you can create your own style, your own reality, your own way of being, your own culture, your own traditions, which we do, all of us have this,
each and every single person has got it. Like what you do on a daily basis, that's your culture, that's your tradition.
It's not about, oh, we do this once a year, what you do every single day, that is it.
And some people have come up with their own, that's why we've got the Kikuyu tradition, but then even within Kikuyu traditions, there's different subgroups.
So, I'm from Kenya, I'm a Kikuyu, the largest tribe in Kenya, I say very proudly.
But also, it's my clan, it's basically where I find my origins, you know, but that's just this physical incarnation.
Previous ones have had different origins, and it's not about looking at the physical part, because the physical part of our being is a very small part, if you think about it,
because it's the only part of us that's actually visible, all the other parts of us are not.
So, we've got the physical body, which is the most dense one, the heaviest one, the one that you can feel, touch, taste, sea here.
But when you move on to the higher realm, so on the 3D, that dimensional realm, we've got the physical part.
But when you move on to the 4th dimension, that's where the mental and the emotions are, right?
So, you can't touch your emotions, you can't see your emotions, you can't even see your thoughts unless you put them down on paper or create them, you know.
You turn them into a physical thing by expressing them, by speaking them, by singing them, because then it can now be put down into our normal senses, the five senses that we have.
I say normal, because all the other senses have not been normalized.
They're now becoming more normal, you know, like the psychic abilities, you know, the healing abilities, and there's so many things that we can step into going to other senses.
But what I want to focus on today is just to, well, not today, basically, but on this specific episode, is the idea of we do have other beings around us, good and bad.
There's nothing about everyone is of light, no.
There's entities out there that just want to drain your energy, and they can drain your energy while you're doing good things.
You just need to be aware of what it is that you're not supposed to be doing, what's your purpose?
Once you align with your purpose, you start experiencing life the way you are meant to experience it.
So, this day and age is very difficult for us not to live a life without having some kind of means of earning.
And the thing is, we do have our innate skills.
When we were born, we were told that children are a gift from God.
Not only were born, but later on they normally say that.
I say they, because I don't really know who says that, but I know it's said.
So, we're all gifts from God, yes.
But when does that stop being the case?
You know, a child is, think about it, a child is not necessarily a gift, they come and they change your life completely.
They take over completely unless you've got enough help.
But even then, there's sacrifices that need to be made, all these different things, and they're all depending on you.
24-7, right? For quite a period of time.
So, for me, I started looking at what is this gift that I have?
Do I have one? Is it just one?
And how does it apply to me? And why do I have it? And what do I do with it?
So, this happened to me back in 2019.
I'm sure I had been able to expand my gift in different ways before that, but I wasn't aware.
I wasn't conscious of it. I was just doing it. And most of us do it to a certain level.
You know, you're just not aware. People expect the gift or the calling to be this massive thing out there.
But it's not, it's just the daily things that you do uniquely yourself without even thinking, it's just you.
That's what your purpose is. But once you start paying attention to it, now you open it up to being like a flower.
So, it's just like a flower. Before it blooms, you don't really know if it's going to, or how it looks like,
or what it can generate, what kind of beauty it can bring.
So, understanding your gifts is one thing. And the way you do this, there's different channels that you can use.
So, for me, I stepped into all of them. The first one I think was, I started stepping into meditation.
But that's because I was dealing with a very difficult situation in my life.
I was going through a very difficult time that caused me to have anxiety, panic attacks.
Oh my goodness. I used to hear people talk about panic attacks and how it's dreadfully,
think that your world is ending, you think you're going to die.
And I used to wonder how that feels like, until it happened to me.
I usually say, if you've not experienced anything, give it time. You will.
And I'm not saying that you will definitely, because some people don't know how it's like.
There's people who are never going to experience this, but if it's come around you,
just know that you're either being told that it's around the corner,
and the best way is to equip yourself with the best kind of skills and abilities that you can to be able to handle it.
Because it does happen to a lot of us. Some people are not even aware of it when it happens.
We just call it anxiety. But panic attacks are very different from anxiety.
So I have suffered from anxiety. I have suffered from depression and panic attacks.
And all this is to say that I have overcome all this.
I do still have encounters with them once in a while. It does come in, but now I'm able to pick up on the triggers
and know what triggers me. And it's not about running away from it.
It's being able to approach it with confidence and strength, knowing that it will not overcome me, that I can overcome it.
And this is where the entities that I've mentioned, the angels, the ancestors, the guides, the spirits,
every single thing that's available to me to help me with the situations, that's what I'm on about here.
So with the angels specifically, there's a lot of information out there.
I started off with meditation. So through meditation I was able to calm my mind down to a level where I could actually choose the thoughts I want to have.
And the thoughts were not having me. So for example, when you're thinking of something, then randomly just jump into something else
without realising that you are. And you're thinking of something and you can't get the thought out of your mind,
or like a song that just keeps playing over and over in your mind and you can't get rid of it.
Now that's the basic level where you just start first of all to identify the thoughts and what brought the thought on.
Usually when we refuse to deal with certain things that come into our life, they never really go away until you address them.
You know, it's just like emotions. You can push them down but they still spring back up and they're like,
I'm still here, you got to deal with me. Right? So the best way that I've found is to actually journal.
That was my first healing process to write it out, make it real, read it.
But then this was like raw emotions, exactly how I felt. I'd wake up in the morning, journal first in the morning,
it would be just a few lines, maybe a paragraph or two, just to kind of gauge where I'm at, you know, how am I feeling?
Because I did not want to take any medication. I never wanted any medication.
I've seen what it does to other people. That's why I did not want to take any medication.
So journaling was one thing that helped me a lot and identify my strengths and weaknesses.
And once you understand that, it's now finding out what's the purpose? Why am I here? What's the point?
And that one was a long, I had a very long time in my life where that was a question that was just constantly on my mind.
Because I just wanted, did I just come here on earth to suffer? Did I come in to just experience luck and sacrifice
and always having to give up something in order to get something? And it was just like, for example, like work.
You have to give time in order to get some monetary value for the time that you've given and if someone else would determine how that is,
yes, you can have some kind of control over it and now I know I can. But back then it was very difficult.
I remember, so I started my spiritual journey, I'd say consciously in 2019, but unconsciously in 2012,
there's a lot of things that took place that I wasn't aware of. And even now I'm still figuring a lot of things that happened then.
But I remember very much in 2013, between 2013 and 2014, I used to live in London at that point and I just got this feeling that I can make money differently.
I don't have to be in this rat race constantly chasing and always running around, not really paying attention to what is really within me
and always looking at what is outside of me and always looking at how it can better me, instead of knowing that I can be better all by myself.
And all I had to do was slow down, all the way down, especially get out of London.
I'm not saying that Londoners are not supposed to live their life they do. No, there's a purpose and there is a reason why you're there.
But for me, I had to take a step back and address all these issues, but you see, I wasn't even aware that that's something that I needed.
It just came all crushing down on me and I had to address it one way or the other.
Right, so the first time I encountered an entity, I believe it was in 2019.
I just felt this sense of someone is around me and the funny thing is it did not feel like it was one person or one being.
It felt like it was a bunch of them and they were all just observing, just waiting, just looking, they were not doing anything.
And I was just like, what's this? At that time, I didn't even know to interact with them. I was just like, oh, I'm not alone.
But it didn't feel supportive. It didn't feel nice. It felt foreign. I felt exposed. I felt naked. It was freaking me out.
But it didn't make me feel afraid. It freaked me out. I was like, yo, what's this?
What is going on here? But first, I need to mention this because this is very important in this. I'm a Sagittarius. I rarely ever back off from any fight.
And that's exactly what I thought it was, that I was under attack.
Because at that point, I didn't really know much about angels.
And the thing that I knew about angels was that they come to deliver messages. They intercede for us whenever we need something.
They go and talk to Jesus or to God for us. It wasn't like, oh, you can talk to them directly or you can tell them stuff or you can actually interact with them personally.
That's not something that I was aware of. So going back to 2019, I was able to feel their presence.
And then there was a part of me that knew that I could communicate. I just didn't know how.
So it started off with me asking for help. I remember there was a time when I was in a really low time in my life.
It was really low vibration or feeling guilty, feeling embarrassed about everything.
My life was not going the way I wanted it to. And usually, this is normally the things that help you to awaken.
When you just feel like you're not satisfied with life, there's nothing that you can do to have that feeling of satisfaction.
Very difficult, having difficulties in trying to achieve things that feel that sense of achievement or satisfaction.
So for me, that's where it all started.
2019, I remember just feeling that they're watching me. What is this about?
And then I went on a holiday to Bali, Indonesia, by myself.
And I did a what's it called, Reiki session.
And that's when I saw them, not in the physical eye. This was really weird. It was really strange.
But it wasn't a physical presence. The only way I can describe it, it was a spiritual experience for me.
But I was there and I was so sure about what I saw. I didn't need anyone to come and tell me otherwise.
I did not need any person, anything external from me to confirm that I was having this experience.
I was just sure. And this sense of surety is what they call clear cognizance.
Knowing something and knowing it for sure, without having any evidence of how it got to you, or you can call it downloads or channeling or things like that.
So that was my experience.
But without knowing what it is, it's very difficult to articulate it.
Now I can. This is now in four years. Now I can definitely articulate what I was dealing with, what it is I was feeling and what I was dealing with at that time.
It was my ancestors. And they were just there. They didn't even talk. They didn't even interact in any kind of a way. They were just there.
And for me, that's what I was looking for. People who get me. I didn't get people. I got ancestors.
These entities, I suppose I call them entities because they're not there in a physical way, but they're there.
You know, they're in my bloodstream. They're in my aura. Without them, I wouldn't be. That's just, as in they contributed such a big part of them, a big chunk of their life was for me to be.
Because then that's what I think of my descendants, that a big chunk of them being is me being here and being able to make it happen for them to come to being.
Right. So without going so much into it, I was able to look into mindfulness and this is the same thing. It's a different type of meditation.
I did do yoga. And at that point, I was consulting my mother who is a Christian. My dad's a vicar.
And I didn't feel very comfortable talking about it with my dad, but I did talk to my mom about it. And she said, oh, yoga is not Christian.
And that was that guilt feeling. I felt, oh no, I've done something that's going to get me to hell.
I've blocked my way to heaven. I'm not going to go to heaven anymore. So I'm a sinner, you know.
And there's all this condemnation, self condemnation, and there's no way. I tried to ask for help. I tried to ask for forgiveness, but it wouldn't budge because I felt the need to go ahead, to go and do it again.
And I did it quite several, a few several times. And I remember going for the yoga sessions and every time I did, I would feel better and I would see the results of my skin cleared up.
I did lose a bit of weight, not too much, just a little bit because I changed my diet as well. That was one of the things that happened.
I stopped eating as much meat that I used to before. I stopped partaking in different things, not really realizing that I was slowly changing myself.
I was slowly becoming awakened. I was interacting with these beings around me. I was, even though I didn't know them.
But they felt so familiar to me. I felt like I knew them. I felt like I've been with them before.
You know, it's basically like going back to your childhood home and feeling that familiarity. Like, oh, if I turned the corner, we used to have a tree around there.
We used to have a swing set at the back and you remember it. It just looks smaller because when you were a child, everything was big. Now that you're big, it's smaller.
So that was it then. I started talking to them. But then before that happened, I started getting into candles, lighting candles.
So that's my Sagittarius side, the fire side of me. Lighting candles. It's not just Sagittarius. You can use fire regardless of what zodiacal sign you're in.
Burning incense. Wanting to spend time in nature. Grounding myself. You know, going out to the park and taking my shoes off and actually just standing on the grass.
And then I started interacting. It was a strange time for me. I'll tell you that.
It still is now because I find myself being able to identify different things.
So, yeah, so that's kind of the introduction of me stepping into being able to interact with Angelica Realm.
Right. So I wanted to express this and put it out there because I know there's a lot of people out there who do not have any source.
So, this also discovery or, you know, going on Google and finding out what it is can be quite difficult even being able to articulate it. So you can ask questions if you want. You can send me questions. I'll put my email address available there.
Yeah, there's a lot of things. So I used different tools to be able to address this. So astrology was the first one. Apart from yoga and meditation, astrology did come in, you know, understanding myself.
And as soon as astrology came in, I stepped into, so, so astrology is the natal chart. Basically, when you were born, where were all the planets, all the cosmos?
Where were they? What positions were they? Because that defines you. You came in at a specific time, specific date, specific day, and also specific place, location.
So time, place, and date. As in the date and time is kind of similar. But yeah, all this matter to be able to define who you are and what your qualities are as well as your gifts, as well as the kind of angelic beings that you interact with.
Because not everyone is able to interact with all of them. As in, for you to be able to interact with all of them, you're going to be like an ascended master.
You know, like Jesus or Buddha or Krishna, you know, as in, and that's not impossible. I'm not saying it's impossible, but do you really want to?
Especially if you're still on earth. It's a bit different. But understanding this and being able to step into astrology without any fear. That's when I stopped being a Christian because I was like, I need to stop condemning myself.
I need to stop feeling guilty and ashamed as if I've done something wrong and I haven't. I'm just being myself. Right.
So astrology led me into numerology and numerology is a study of numbers. But it's how numbers interact with us in this lifetime.
And I believe that the universe, the language of the universe is numbers. As in everything is counted.
And from the time that we were born, time is a number as well. The date is a number. You know, how old you are, that's a number, how long you've been on earth. That's measured numerically.
And then I stepped into numerology. Oh, the study of the moon and understanding how it affects me, you know, on a daily basis, you know, the full moon, the new moon and all the other phases of the moon and how they interact with me.
And that was very helpful. As in I still, we've just had the full moon in Taurus. But that was a lunar eclipse as well in Taurus, which we're not going to have it again for nine years.
So you can imagine anything that's been shut off, it's going to be shut off for nine years. And anything you've started off, it's going to be wonderful.
And you've got the rest of the nine years to complete it. So it's amazing. There's a lot of good sides to this. There's a lot of insurance and you cannot go wrong.
This is where we encourage people to just interact with whoever is around you right now, interact with them, just say hi. Show me who you are.
If you're here, and it's very important for you to protect your energy as well, because that's something that I did not do initially. I didn't even know protection was a thing.
I was like, I'm protected. Now I am. But back then I was so not. And even if they tried, even if they tried to protect me, I would put myself in situations that, yeah, will not save for me.
And eventually now I know what to do. Now I know how to protect my energy whenever I'm stepping into these different environments without realizing that I'm actually putting myself in not necessarily danger, but I'm making myself vulnerable.
And I don't need to. And when I say vulnerable, it's basically when you don't know what you're dealing with, and you just open-eyed, that's why children are mostly protected.
That's why we always talk about protecting children and women. I don't think women need that much protection, but yeah.
Once you understand your strength, once you understand what your purpose is, and you align with your purpose, you don't encounter danger. You don't.
Because your path is made clear for you, because you now know what you're capable of, and you're doing it. So whatever happens, happens for a purpose, because you're serving your purpose.
And I believe that when we're serving our purpose, our life becomes abundant. That's exactly what happened with me.
I started looking at why I'm here and how I can expand my gifts, because that started unfolding to me, that I have more than one, or it's more than two, or more than three.
I was like, what's going on here? And I found that if I actually do go into it, there's a lot of different options that I have when it comes to my gifts.
But for me to identify my gifts, I had to first of all understand who I am.
Like Aristotle said, knowing yourself is the beginning of wisdom, and wisdom is applied knowledge. Well, that's my definition of wisdom.
Once you know, then you apply it, like what I'm doing now in this podcast.
I'm applying my knowledge, my wisdom to this, because I know it will serve someone else. It will help someone else overcome certain situations, step into the right path, step into their purpose, align with what they were created to do.
And that's all I need to do, so that I can be able to receive, because you see, abundance is not about having abundance, it's the ability to receive.
The more you can receive, the more abundant you are. You know, it's like someone who, oh I don't know, doesn't need to go into it.
But yeah, I hope this was helpful. Stay tuned for the next episode.
Yeah, I'll start talking about the different angelic beings that we can work with and how we can interact with them.
And that was just a bit of where I started from and where I'm headed myself. So thank you very much for listening.
Stay tuned for more episodes. Thank you.
