00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,320
Hello everyone and welcome to the Awaken Together podcast.

2
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:09,800
I'm Jen and I'm Kat.

3
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:14,880
And today's episode is going to be talking about spirit guides.

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,000
We are going to go into our own personal kind of experience and journey with accessing our

5
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:26,480
guides, what it kind of means to tune in with your spirit guides, and then end the episode

6
00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:32,120
with a guided meditation so that you can meet your own guides.

7
00:00:32,120 --> 00:00:38,120
And before we dive in, Kat, we have not had an episode together in a long time.

8
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,680
We've been bringing on these incredible guests.

9
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:46,520
I love that me and Kat kind of divvy up the guest episodes because I get to kind of learn

10
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:49,080
from our own podcast, which is always fun.

11
00:00:49,080 --> 00:00:51,360
We've had some really amazing people.

12
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:57,640
I feel the same way, it's so fun to listen to your episodes and just like on walks, just

13
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,120
like the familiarity, but also like the newness.

14
00:01:00,120 --> 00:01:01,120
It's so sweet.

15
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,120
I love it.

16
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:03,720
We've had some amazing guests.

17
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,800
So shout out to our guests.

18
00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:13,080
We've learned about tarot, intuitive eating, pregnancy and birth as a portal, astrology

19
00:01:13,080 --> 00:01:18,500
in a funny sense, sound healing, and lots more this season.

20
00:01:18,500 --> 00:01:22,080
So thank you all for being along with us on this journey.

21
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,080
Yeah.

22
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:30,720
And for today's episode, we have kind of done some layers of spirit guide talks throughout

23
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:35,080
the episode, but we wanted to kind of fine tune in on it.

24
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:43,000
So I can share first kind of my personal journey because the idea of spirit guides like scared

25
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:44,720
this shit out of me.

26
00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:52,240
And when I was starting my spiritual journey, I like spent the like, it took so long to

27
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:57,160
get into the acceptance of like tuning into guides and hire beings.

28
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:58,560
And like that scared me.

29
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:04,040
I was so scared of evil because of all of the layers of religion trauma that I had to

30
00:02:04,040 --> 00:02:05,260
heal.

31
00:02:05,260 --> 00:02:11,200
And so I really tried to tiptoe around it and it kept coming into my path more and more.

32
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,080
And I really think probably the biggest catalyst was actually starting to do energy work and

33
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:24,640
reiki training and becoming a reiki master so much when you enter into the energy world

34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:30,880
ends up landing you kind of on the other side, you get way closer interactions with your

35
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:37,960
clients, either spirit animals, guides, ancestors, and so much of that came and just realizing

36
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:44,480
that I have so much more control and safety than what I was anticipating.

37
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,400
And yeah, just another layer of this.

38
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:53,360
I can definitely share some personal guide stories, but it's also been kind of wild and

39
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,740
I was resistant to it.

40
00:02:55,740 --> 00:03:00,400
But it was also a little seed that like working at the nursing home and just being in healthcare

41
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:08,120
since the age of 15, now 31, and I've been around a lot of death.

42
00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:13,720
And when you are at that like end point of people's lives, they really start to see their

43
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:19,480
family members, they start to have these really like the veil is so thin and they're bouncing

44
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:20,720
between it.

45
00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:25,080
And I witnessed some pretty wild stuff at the nursing home too.

46
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,720
But also it was all still very scary to me.

47
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:31,720
But it definitely was like, this is a thing happening.

48
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:33,880
I don't know how much I want to lean into it.

49
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:38,440
But I definitely had so many experiences being right there when people passed on and having

50
00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:44,380
like pretty crazy visuals, what I heard felt sensed.

51
00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:49,960
So yeah, like a little intro for you and we can talk about some of our personal guides

52
00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:50,960
too.

53
00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,600
Yeah, I think for me, Reiki was definitely a catalyst for experiencing spirit guides,

54
00:03:57,600 --> 00:03:58,600
understanding them.

55
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:02,680
I think in the past I was like, oh, angel numbers, that's cool.

56
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:08,400
But I didn't really understand like what angel numbers were there for.

57
00:04:08,400 --> 00:04:13,000
And now I have this better understanding of like, okay, that's like a method of communication

58
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:20,200
for a lot of spirit guides is seeing numbers, seeing signs, asking for signs.

59
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:25,240
And it's all in developing that relationship with your guides that you begin to see these

60
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:29,880
things and have a deeper understanding of what they can mean and what kind of impact

61
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,320
they can have in your life.

62
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:37,980
And really for me, spirit guides, it's all encapsulated in this essence of we're not

63
00:04:37,980 --> 00:04:39,800
truly alone here.

64
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,480
Like we have divine guidance.

65
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:49,300
And when life ends for our ancestors, for really anyone, that's not just the end.

66
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:51,600
That's not the end of giving support.

67
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:58,320
We're always in receiving mode when we want to be, when we have our walls down and would

68
00:04:58,320 --> 00:05:00,240
like to be receiving.

69
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:07,320
And so yeah, for me, ancestors have been like that most direct way and my first initial

70
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,920
understanding of my guides.

71
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:17,440
Yeah, and you got that powerful ancestry lineage too behind in the family.

72
00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:24,440
Yeah, I think for me, this has definitely evolved and shape shift over time.

73
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:30,120
But I really believe that you'll have some guides that are here for most of your lifetime.

74
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:34,400
And then there's definitely guides that'll come in just for certain things that you're

75
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,320
working and moving through.

76
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:41,600
And in Reiki even, I will ask for a specialist to come through for certain things that I'm

77
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:43,960
feeling and sensing for people at times.

78
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,520
And that's been really powerful to explore as well.

79
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:53,080
I also so see like we've talked soul contracts and soul family.

80
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:58,240
And I do think there's been such a beauty to the people I've attracted as being kind

81
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:01,000
of like a guide here on earth even at times.

82
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:06,560
But as far as like zooming out and tuning in, I definitely have had clear names come

83
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:07,940
through at times.

84
00:06:07,940 --> 00:06:10,560
And I'll just do a check in kind of periodically.

85
00:06:10,560 --> 00:06:17,400
Like I like to use my pendulum as kind of my main resource of asking, do I have five

86
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,600
or more guides personally working with me?

87
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:20,760
Yes or no.

88
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:25,720
And then just like work my way down and find that sweet spot and then spend time can one

89
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:32,060
guide step forward and just meditating on what it feels like in my body when I am like

90
00:06:32,060 --> 00:06:35,600
asking for certain guides to come through.

91
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:41,120
And as I share in the podcast, Kat is way more kind of clairvoyant and often see stuff

92
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:42,120
for me.

93
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:45,140
It's always really clear feeling and sensing.

94
00:06:45,140 --> 00:06:51,120
So I have to kind of navigate this energetic blueprint of like what the guide is feeling

95
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:58,400
like and then what those feelings kind of in me like mean for me and what they like

96
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:03,480
yeah have been showing me or how it's coming up or when I'm feeling a similar feeling,

97
00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:07,840
knowing that that's kind of a little message system from the guides that I have.

98
00:07:07,840 --> 00:07:12,920
And like Kat said, like there's just a constant communication system depending on how much

99
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,360
you want to tune in or tune out from that.

100
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:21,760
But I do think when you tune in, you'll realize so much more that you are not alone and that

101
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:29,520
there is so many signals of communication that can be given to you of clarity and also

102
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:35,000
just like a deeper sense of trust and knowing which I think we can way over personalize

103
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:41,600
so much stuff so easily in this layer of having that trust and higher guidance kind of dismembers

104
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:49,000
a lot of that kind of ego overly clinging, overly attaching, overly fearing mindset that

105
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:52,240
can come when we're not tuning into that higher guidance.

106
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,600
Yeah, for sure.

107
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,300
And yeah, like you said, there's so many different ways to pay attention and to receive this

108
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:05,560
information and it'll be very dependent for every person and what senses you're more

109
00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:08,760
tuned to and what comes to you more naturally.

110
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:14,480
So for you, Jen, it's super interesting because a way that I understand you decipher between

111
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,280
guides is like how they make you feel in your body.

112
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:20,880
Which to me, it's like that sounds hard.

113
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,960
That sounds like it must be extra complicated.

114
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,760
It's crazy, so I'll get like a certain type of tingling across my shoulders or a weight

115
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,960
on my shoulders that's like more steady and grounded with some and I'm like, oh, this

116
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:37,640
one's here to help me embody and feel powerful or I'll tune into another one and it'll feel

117
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:43,880
very light and playful and fun and I'm like, okay, that is the embodiment feeling blueprint

118
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:50,640
of like, yeah, letting go or being more at ease or more playful or childish and then

119
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,760
when that feeling hits me throughout life, I'm like, oh, okay, I recognize this because

120
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,000
I've carved that out.

121
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,400
So it's it might sound more complicated.

122
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:05,360
It's definitely the communication system that always comes through and I think it's beautiful

123
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:10,280
because I do have to sit down longer and pay more attention, but it's really cool to kind

124
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,520
of learn to speak the language and it's definitely fine tuned so much more clear through the

125
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,960
years of kind of working with my strongest psychic sense.

126
00:09:18,960 --> 00:09:23,680
But just to let you know, there's no judgment behind the way it comes in and for you, Kat,

127
00:09:23,680 --> 00:09:25,280
you've had some wild ones too.

128
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:26,280
Yeah, for sure.

129
00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:29,000
It's building a relationship and I love that you said that.

130
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,360
Like it just gets stronger with time and the deeper relationships get with these guides

131
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,680
that come and go and experiencing new ones.

132
00:09:36,680 --> 00:09:40,120
It's all part of the beautiful interwoven story.

133
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,880
So yeah, for me, it's a different experience.

134
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:46,600
I don't get many feels in my body.

135
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,080
For me, it's its sight comes first, the clairvoyance.

136
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:56,980
And so I will go into states of meditation and kind of ease into the process and see

137
00:09:56,980 --> 00:09:58,680
who I met with.

138
00:09:58,680 --> 00:10:04,040
Like I'll see how many kind of figures are either sitting on a bench or coming into a

139
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:09,200
garden or sitting around a fire with me, depending on the style of meditation that I approach

140
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,960
each spirit guide connection meditation with.

141
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,400
And yeah, I'll kind of like see the outline of figures and that to me will tell me how

142
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:23,600
many I'm working with then or how many are coming through at that time.

143
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:31,840
And then from there, I'll kind of focus in on each figure and be shown like a vision

144
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,200
or a name.

145
00:10:33,200 --> 00:10:35,940
I'll ask for a name and oftentimes I'll be given a name.

146
00:10:35,940 --> 00:10:37,000
Not always though.

147
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
It's kind of funny.

148
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:43,080
You kind of receive what they're willing to give an offer at that time and they are going

149
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,600
to be ready to be questioned by you.

150
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:52,360
Like they're going to be kind of anticipating little tests of like, are you here for my

151
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:54,000
greatest good?

152
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:01,360
And if they're not, like if this being coming to you, you know, isn't there to give you

153
00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:04,760
messages that are there to support your highest good, then you know, they're not actually

154
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,840
a guide.

155
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,300
And so there's some different layers of protection that we'll get to in a little bit to help

156
00:11:10,300 --> 00:11:15,400
decipher like what beings you're coming into contact with when you're stepping into this

157
00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:17,280
spiritual realm.

158
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:24,600
But my first recognition, my earliest like experience with guides was when I was a kid,

159
00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:25,600
it was my cat.

160
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,600
It was my cat Jen.

161
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,600
I love it.

162
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:30,600
I've come back around.

163
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,600
Yeah, it's so funny.

164
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,960
Like who would have thought I would name my freaking childhood cat Jennifer?

165
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:39,960
Like who does that?

166
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:40,960
You're foreshadowing.

167
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:41,960
You're my little pet.

168
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:42,960
I love my little pet.

169
00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:43,960
Meow.

170
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:44,960
I love it so much.

171
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:45,960
I know.

172
00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:46,960
So good.

173
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:54,480
But yeah, I was convinced that she was a spirit of my grandmother who passed before I met

174
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:57,240
her who I'm named after.

175
00:11:57,240 --> 00:12:05,160
And she just had this like super gentle, wise energy and like very similar, was so comforting

176
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:10,480
and just how I imagined that grandmother to be with everything I learned about her.

177
00:12:10,480 --> 00:12:15,520
So I developed this relationship with my cat that was like my grandmother.

178
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:19,360
It was sweet and funny and weird and so special.

179
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:20,800
I love that.

180
00:12:20,800 --> 00:12:28,400
Yeah, I think for me, one of the, I had a patient that felt like so, so special.

181
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:29,800
I worked with her for three years.

182
00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:35,540
She was 99 and we were just intuitively really close from the very beginning and we had these

183
00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:36,540
beautiful deep talks.

184
00:12:36,540 --> 00:12:40,560
I used to hang out with her on my days off and we got super close.

185
00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:46,400
I was there the day she passed away and she asked to speak to just me and she said, I

186
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,920
don't know how this whole system works, but I'm going to figure out how to look over you

187
00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:54,800
from the other side and take care of you.

188
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,720
And we had this really beautiful goodbye.

189
00:12:57,720 --> 00:13:02,120
And she said she'd always come in as a little wiggle is the cutest thing.

190
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:07,880
So there's been so many little moments of just knowing like her spirit has been being

191
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:16,240
able to oversee so much and the name Vi has come up in my life in like such cool ways,

192
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,000
like along as like a journey.

193
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:25,320
And yeah, I found out she's actually buried here in Colorado, which at the time the service

194
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,840
and everything was in Florida.

195
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:31,560
I had no idea she was going to be put here and I did not know that moving here.

196
00:13:31,560 --> 00:13:37,960
So she has been this guide in this really cool way and that's been so beautiful.

197
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:43,120
And yeah, I've had really beautiful experiences tuning into the energy world.

198
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:47,200
I've had people's grandparents come forward like ancestors.

199
00:13:47,200 --> 00:13:51,320
So it's not always necessarily a guide.

200
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:54,900
That's just like a higher being, a higher source of energy.

201
00:13:54,900 --> 00:13:58,360
Sometimes it is ancestors, people closest to us.

202
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,480
I had someone's grandma come and wrap their hands fully around me.

203
00:14:01,480 --> 00:14:07,680
I could feel her hands over mine, her arms over my arms, her head right to my right.

204
00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:11,840
And then my friend had saw a full vision of her grandma and started crying.

205
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,040
And it was a very loving and beautiful experience.

206
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,100
I'll come and assist with Reiki.

207
00:14:16,100 --> 00:14:18,000
So it's very powerful.

208
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:24,880
And yeah, as Kat said, I mean, if you're getting a very uneasy feeling, I definitely met all

209
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:28,400
of this with an uneasy feeling because of my own personal stuff.

210
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,960
But then realizing I had a lot more control to be able to turn this on and off.

211
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:36,840
And I knew I was actually always very safe.

212
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080
Just, yeah, we'll go through kind of the protocol.

213
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:43,000
You have anything else you want to share on personal guide experiences?

214
00:14:43,000 --> 00:14:44,000
Yeah.

215
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:45,000
Yeah.

216
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:48,840
So I think what's also interesting too with all of that, like you mentioned, Jen, our

217
00:14:48,840 --> 00:14:51,560
spirit guides can come across as ancestors.

218
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:54,360
They can come across as light beings.

219
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:57,480
They can come across as spirit animals.

220
00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,480
They can-

221
00:14:58,480 --> 00:14:59,480
Kat sees animals so good.

222
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:00,480
It's so fun.

223
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:01,480
Yeah, it's fun.

224
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:02,480
It's really cool.

225
00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:04,080
Like that nature connection.

226
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,680
They can come across as archangels, ascended masters.

227
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:13,580
Like there's countless types of light beings that can be your spirit guides.

228
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:17,320
So I recently did a spirit guide meditation.

229
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:21,360
It's a part of this course that I'm undergoing called The Akashic Journey.

230
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:27,920
I'm learning how to access my Akashic records and build this relationship with the Akashic

231
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:28,920
field.

232
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,720
So it's been a really, really fun, really enlightening.

233
00:15:31,720 --> 00:15:37,840
When I was doing this meditation recently, the spirit animal that came through for me

234
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,840
was a raccoon.

235
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:44,120
And this was really funny and weird.

236
00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:48,440
And like previously I've had not really had any connections with a raccoon.

237
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:55,080
And so I was like, why is this trash eating feral creature coming through for me?

238
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:56,880
What is this supposed to mean?

239
00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,400
It's clearing things out for Kat's brain, little trash eats.

240
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:01,960
Yeah, so funny.

241
00:16:01,960 --> 00:16:03,080
Oh my god.

242
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:07,200
But I was researching after like what a raccoon spirit guide means.

243
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:08,560
And it was actually really powerful.

244
00:16:08,560 --> 00:16:11,640
So I was like, okay, let me rethink this.

245
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:15,480
Just the resilience and the levels of courage and braveness.

246
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:16,480
They're cute.

247
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:17,480
They're cute.

248
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,480
Yeah, they're sweet.

249
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:21,720
They're rabid, but they're...

250
00:16:21,720 --> 00:16:23,440
Which is, you know, also telling for me.

251
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:24,440
I love that.

252
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:32,760
But yeah, just seeing like people, a past retreat attendee for us, Camille, she has

253
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:37,000
asked when her spirit guides are present to show her an owl.

254
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:42,200
And when I was doing Reiki for her back in April at one of the retreats this year, I

255
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:43,200
didn't know this.

256
00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:44,520
I didn't know this yet.

257
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:48,720
I saw an owl come through, like really clearly a white owl.

258
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,000
And she told me after when I was sharing this with her.

259
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:56,880
And it was just a really beautiful, like tearful moment of, oh my god, my guides are here.

260
00:16:56,880 --> 00:16:57,880
They're here.

261
00:16:57,880 --> 00:17:00,640
This is the most clear sign I could have asked for.

262
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,040
So try it out.

263
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,280
You know, if you're looking for signs, ask.

264
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:07,240
Ask your guides to show you things.

265
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:09,640
Because if you don't ask, like, how will you receive?

266
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:10,640
How will you know?

267
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:11,640
Absolutely.

268
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,560
Yeah, so remembering to kind of remove your own judgment.

269
00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:23,800
And we have had protection episodes before, but just as little reminder, it's always good

270
00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,440
to kind of be in a more dropped in state.

271
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:31,760
Obviously we can feel so much just from our own day, our own life, the world, the people

272
00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:32,920
around us.

273
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,600
It's good to kind of meet this work with some more intention.

274
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,560
And when you do build that relationship, yeah, the little subtleties will happen just in

275
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,000
the middle of the busyness of life.

276
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:50,680
But to actually start and go from a beginning point of this work, I think it's really important

277
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,640
to clear your space, do maybe some body movement first, something to kind of drop you in a

278
00:17:56,640 --> 00:17:58,640
little bit deeper.

279
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080
And yeah, you can sit in a meditative state.

280
00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:04,360
You can do headphones on, really tune in.

281
00:18:04,360 --> 00:18:09,600
There's tons of visual meditations and then the one we're going to have for this episode

282
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,280
as well to guide you through just calling in the space.

283
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:20,520
But yeah, I like to always drop in for my layer of protection, kind of picture a dome

284
00:18:20,520 --> 00:18:22,640
of protection around me.

285
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:27,880
We always use the roses kind of a symbol for protection so you can visualize a rose in

286
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:34,040
front of you on each side, behind you, above and below, or yeah, just a little dome and

287
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:40,240
kind of color it in to some type of visual of an intention setting of this is my space.

288
00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:45,360
I'm calling in what serves me the most and what I am needing to hear.

289
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:48,240
And always tune in on what your starting point is.

290
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:53,000
So like I said, if you're not someone that's going to be able to have this information

291
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:59,640
come through as much as visuals and it's going to land more as thoughts or feeling sensations

292
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:04,320
or emotions, it's good to kind of know what your base is because then you can see what

293
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:10,480
adds to the sensations that you're already feeling as you go into that like workspace.

294
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:12,080
Yeah, for sure.

295
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,980
All such good tips.

296
00:19:13,980 --> 00:19:20,680
We know that crystals can be super helpful connecting with nature in the violet flame

297
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:25,760
is another really, really world renowned world renowned.

298
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:32,400
I don't know if that's right, but like really well used and known protective force.

299
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,720
So just imagine this violet flame around you, surrounding you like a moat, protecting your

300
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:43,440
energy, keeping it to you and know that if any point in these meditations or really any

301
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:49,700
experience with spirit, if you feel unsafe, then, you know, just get out of it.

302
00:19:49,700 --> 00:19:55,560
You can always come back into your body, come back into your room because yeah, like if

303
00:19:55,560 --> 00:20:00,080
you remember from a past episode where we were talking with Willow, the psychic medium,

304
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,300
there are evil spirits out there.

305
00:20:02,300 --> 00:20:07,200
There are dark energies and dark forces and it's up to us to just be in our bodies, know

306
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,460
our baseline, know what feels off and when to disengage.

307
00:20:11,460 --> 00:20:13,560
So just be aware of that.

308
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:18,680
Take deep breaths, be with your breath and it can be empowering.

309
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,000
Just be like, no, that's not mine.

310
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:28,780
And then you just bring it back and you release, you cut those ties and you can always come

311
00:20:28,780 --> 00:20:32,160
back into meditation another time to reengage.

312
00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:33,160
Yeah.

313
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:37,280
I think for me was kind of moving through some of the religion trauma stuff.

314
00:20:37,280 --> 00:20:42,520
When you know how to ground into your body, you are ultimately going to be able to hold

315
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,240
so much of your power.

316
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,180
This isn't some work to be fearful of.

317
00:20:47,180 --> 00:20:48,960
You can always call things away.

318
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:50,240
You can always reset.

319
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:55,080
I think the hardest part for ending up in spaces that are heavier is when there's just

320
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,460
really no sense of groundedness and you're meeting this work with very chaotic energy

321
00:21:00,460 --> 00:21:07,260
and not really with a clear cut intention of I'm wanting this to come through for my

322
00:21:07,260 --> 00:21:08,920
highest good.

323
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:15,880
I think always meeting any spiritual work with clear intention is really important.

324
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:19,920
Magic because our words are magic, our thoughts are magic and you always want to call in kind

325
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,520
of that space just before you start this.

326
00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:27,820
I always recommend having a journal close by so that you can just write little things.

327
00:21:27,820 --> 00:21:32,680
And yeah, if you want that yes and no, you can use that pendulum and you can also use

328
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:34,640
your body as a compass for yes and no.

329
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:40,060
We've shared this before too, but just ask, can you show me what a yes is in my body?

330
00:21:40,060 --> 00:21:41,980
Can you show me what a no is?

331
00:21:41,980 --> 00:21:44,300
Maybe you feel an actual weight shift.

332
00:21:44,300 --> 00:21:48,800
Maybe it comes in as a sensation and then you can go through with each guide.

333
00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:52,400
Like can I have one particular guide at a time step forward?

334
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,640
Can there be guide number one and just take notes on things that come to mind?

335
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,160
Maybe it's memories, maybe it's a visual, maybe it's a sensation, maybe it's a hotter

336
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:06,320
cold, a temperature difference, just noting anything, not really trying to put a lot of

337
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:07,560
thought into it.

338
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:11,160
And then let that work just keep simmering and like carve out maybe, you know, starting

339
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:15,800
off with just doing this work a couple of times a week, building that blueprint.

340
00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:20,960
And then yeah, I always go back and do periodic check-ins that are deeper and more intentional

341
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:24,440
to know like what's happening for me guide wise.

342
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:30,040
If I'm kind of stepping into newness, which anytime my life goes into a new chapter, I

343
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,160
feel like there's usually kind of new work with the guides to kind of be set, but it

344
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:38,320
feels very natural because I'm needing that clarity anyway, because my life is like a

345
00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,280
snow globe and get shooken up.

346
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:46,080
And then I'm realizing I'm onto the next journey and then crave that higher kind of guidance

347
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:48,920
to feel more grounded in it.

348
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,920
Yeah.

349
00:22:49,920 --> 00:22:56,200
So with that essence, do what you need to get grounded right now.

350
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,960
And in a few moments, we will just get set up for meditation.

351
00:22:59,960 --> 00:23:00,960
Awesome.

352
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:01,960
Thank you.

353
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:13,600
All right, my friends.

354
00:23:13,600 --> 00:23:23,520
Well, wherever you are right now, if you're ready to tap in, I invite you to find a comfortable

355
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,520
seat.

356
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:30,360
We'll start with just a couple deep breaths to really transition from our talking mode

357
00:23:30,360 --> 00:23:33,640
or listening mode into our meditative space.

358
00:23:33,640 --> 00:23:40,200
So together, let's take a deep breath in.

359
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:43,200
Exhale it all out.

360
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:51,000
Again, deep breath in through your nose.

361
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:54,000
Drink it in.

362
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,000
Exhale out your mouth.

363
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:01,000
One more time.

364
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:04,000
Just like that.

365
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,000
Open mouth.

366
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
Exhale.

367
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:15,000
Seal your lips.

368
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Continue breathing in and out.

369
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Bring your nose nice and cozy, bringing source energy in through your crown chakra.

370
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:37,000
Each breath out, releasing any negative thoughts, worries, fears.

371
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:46,000
Being released on the out breath.

372
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:57,000
Now establish a connection from your tailbone to the surface beneath you.

373
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:01,000
Just imagine roots growing down into the soil.

374
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:12,000
Deep down into the earth, your every crack and fissure, deep into the rock, into the

375
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000
core of the earth.

376
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:23,000
Feeling firmly grounded into the mother.

377
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:33,000
When we travel in the spirit world, it's so important to feel safe, as I was mentioning.

378
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:39,000
You can feel very supportive to add layers of protection to make sure that we're only

379
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:46,000
communicating with the highest and purest level and to make sure that we're not letting

380
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:52,000
in any unwanted or mischievous spirits.

381
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:58,000
Imagine wrapping yourself in a cloak, cloak of protection.

382
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:05,000
This cloak protects you from all malevolent spirits.

383
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Imagine it's coated in steel so that it provides robust protection at all times, reflecting

384
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
all the rest.

385
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:30,000
And trust that it's enveloping you when you're communicating at spirit level.

386
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Now imagine that you're walking in a clearing, surrounded by woods and trees, flowers and

387
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:44,000
animals all around.

388
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:54,000
The sun shines down on your face and you feel entirely safe and protected.

389
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:00,000
You're walking gently with your head tilted up towards the warmth of the sun.

390
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:16,000
You feel it on your skin.

391
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:24,000
You look around and you notice that in the distance there's a bench.

392
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:30,000
You look more closely and discover that there's someone, or even a few beings, sitting on

393
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:36,000
that bench facing towards you.

394
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000
It becomes clear to you that they're here for you.

395
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,000
So check in with yourself now.

396
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
Do you feel safe?

397
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:53,000
And do you wish to connect with this or these beings?

398
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,000
If not, the answer is no.

399
00:27:55,000 --> 00:28:03,000
Simply pause this meditation and come back to it another day when you feel more ready.

400
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:11,000
If you feel a yes in your body and your spirit, you'll nod to grant your permission now and

401
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:26,000
continue walking closer towards the bench.

402
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:34,000
You can more clearly make out the images of the light beings in front of you now.

403
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
How many of them are there?

404
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:44,000
One, two, three, maybe more.

405
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:52,000
What do they look like?

406
00:28:52,000 --> 00:29:03,000
You realize that you're in the presence of higher spirit, spirit being, guide energy.

407
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:15,000
You ask the first spirit guide, what is your name?

408
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Maybe you're met with a response and maybe not.

409
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:31,000
What does their energy feel like to you?

410
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:40,000
What is any emotion or feeling or sensation that you experience as you make contact?

411
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:55,000
It might be a tingling somewhere in your body, might be in a role, a scent, or a symbol might even appear in your mind.

412
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Just remember this.

413
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:09,000
This will be the sign of this particular spirit guide.

414
00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Now ask the spirit guide what its purpose is in your life.

415
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
Is it to teach you?

416
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Is it to guide you?

417
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Is it a musical guide?

418
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:35,000
An artistic guide?

419
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:52,000
Often guides have specific purposes and are there to help us at particular times in our lives.

420
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:57,000
Is it also appropriate to ask the guide if you can trust them?

421
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:02,000
Maybe you ask, can I trust you?

422
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Your guide will be expected to be tested in this way.

423
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:24,000
You can ask your guide any question that's burning on your mind.

424
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:32,000
And you'll receive an understanding of an answer from that guide.

425
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Have you reached a particular turning point in your life and require guidance as to which path to take?

426
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:46,000
Have you reached a point in your career and don't know which way to turn?

427
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:53,000
Does the rut require some guidance as to how to get out of the rut?

428
00:31:53,000 --> 00:32:00,000
Do you have some dilemma which is troubling you and which requires a solution?

429
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:07,000
All of these questions can be asked of your spirit guide.

430
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Simply ask your question and be with their response now.

431
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Once you've received the information, thank your spirit guide for that guidance.

432
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:07,000
Note how they then move back, allowing the second spirit guide to move forward if there is one.

433
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:12,000
Once again, ask them for their name.

434
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:18,000
And continue with asking your questions of them.

435
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:28,000
Recognize their responses so that you can call upon the spirit guide again.

436
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:34,000
Once again, do you have a question for the spirit guide?

437
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:54,000
You can simply say to the spirit guide, what guidance do you have for me today?

438
00:33:54,000 --> 00:34:19,000
The question is, what do I need to know today?

439
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:33,000
Once you've received your nuggets of wisdom, thank your spirit guide.

440
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:41,000
Thank them all. If you have another to connect with, you're welcome to do that as well.

441
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:51,000
If not, thank them collectively and continue along on your peaceful walk.

442
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:02,000
Down the path, among the trees, the flowers, the animals.

443
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:11,000
You turn back and notice how they slowly disappear into the distance until they vanish.

444
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:24,000
Once again, you feel the warmth of the sunlight on your skin, the comfort, the sense of well-being, the peace, the serenity.

445
00:35:24,000 --> 00:35:30,000
Bringing yourself back into your body.

446
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:39,000
Begin to feel fully aware of all your senses in this present moment.

447
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:45,000
Take a deep breath in through your nose.

448
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:50,000
Exhale it out.

449
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:56,000
Begin to bring some wiggles back into your fingers and your toes.

450
00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:03,000
Maybe a little stretch in your body and when you're ready, you can open your eyes back up.

451
00:36:03,000 --> 00:36:09,000
Take back in your surroundings and simply journal on your experience.

452
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:25,000
Maybe you consult the web, consult a friend, consult your inner thoughts and know that you are so divinely supported, not only by your spirit team, but also by yourself and your community.

453
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:33,000
Thank you all so much. We hope you enjoyed this meditation and we'd love to hear what came up for you.
