Preparing Your Energy for Soul-Led Work

How do you align your energy before holding space for others?
In this episode, I share a personal story about preparing for sacred work and a channeled message from my guide Anya—reminding us that it’s not about being perfect, but about being present.

You’ll hear how I ground myself, set clear intentions, and create space for authenticity and grace. Whether you’re a healer, teacher, or simply showing up for someone you love, this is your gentle reminder to trust your own presence.

00:00:00.050 --> 00:00:00.790
Hey, beautiful.

00:00:01.189 --> 00:00:03.790
I am so grateful you are here today.

00:00:04.669 --> 00:00:16.414
I wanna share something deeply personal, especially if you've ever felt the pressure of being high vibe or to hold space for others, even when your heart doesn't feel steady.

00:00:16.980 --> 00:00:27.199
My intention today is to gently step behind the scenes of what it really means to prepare your energy before channeling or before any sacred soul led work.

00:00:27.829 --> 00:00:29.199
This is for you, my friend.

00:00:29.379 --> 00:00:34.039
If you walk the path as a healer, a teacher, or an intuitive guide.

00:00:34.840 --> 00:00:41.520
A little while ago I ran an event where I followed a nudge from my intuition, and I went to the venue early.

00:00:42.299 --> 00:00:45.229
Just to feel into the space before the night began.

00:00:45.939 --> 00:00:49.429
When I arrived, I was a little disorientated.

00:00:49.689 --> 00:00:50.909
The venue was new to me.

00:00:51.170 --> 00:00:52.429
No one was there to greet me.

00:00:53.030 --> 00:00:57.390
I didn't know where to go, and in my confusion, I even set off an alarm.

00:00:58.009 --> 00:00:59.270
It definitely threw me off.

00:00:59.950 --> 00:01:10.090
But it also prepared me because when I returned that evening to channel, the space felt a little more familiar and it helped me to settle more easily.

00:01:10.469 --> 00:01:17.209
But what I hadn't realized was that I was still carrying energy from earlier that day.

00:01:17.709 --> 00:01:18.170
I'd had.

00:01:18.754 --> 00:01:21.734
An experience that left me feeling a little scattered.

00:01:22.275 --> 00:01:31.734
It was just a simple catch up, but I didn't give myself the space to ground or clear before stepping into the sacred work ahead.

00:01:32.394 --> 00:01:36.174
So I decided to share with you some.

00:01:37.150 --> 00:01:43.010
Gentle loving reminders to help you prepare energy before stepping into any sacred space.

00:01:43.870 --> 00:01:53.640
Open space around your events emotionally and energetically so you're not carrying unprocessed energy inside or into your sessions.

00:01:54.180 --> 00:01:57.400
Arrive early, especially in unfamiliar places.

00:01:58.739 --> 00:02:04.959
It just builds comfort and calms your energy down and ground into your intention.

00:02:05.299 --> 00:02:08.319
Really get clear with yourself, why am I doing this?

00:02:09.150 --> 00:02:10.319
What is my intention?

00:02:10.509 --> 00:02:12.120
What is a gift I'm bringing through?

00:02:12.500 --> 00:02:13.439
How do I wanna serve?

00:02:13.539 --> 00:02:15.240
How do I wanna support my audience?

00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:17.199
If you're sensitive.

00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:20.740
And that's a profound strength by the way.

00:02:21.400 --> 00:02:28.539
But how you enter a moment or how you enter and experience deeply impacts what flows through you.

00:02:29.199 --> 00:02:37.020
So going back to my story that night, I felt a subtle murmur in my vibration and the feedback confirmed it.

00:02:37.110 --> 00:02:39.270
I had a bit of irritation going on in my energy.

00:02:39.810 --> 00:02:41.969
I didn't have that usual clarity that I have.

00:02:42.789 --> 00:02:48.960
That night I could feel a subtle murmur in my vibration, and the feedback I got confirmed it.

00:02:49.500 --> 00:02:51.599
It wasn't quite my usual clarity.

00:02:51.979 --> 00:03:05.520
One audience member said she couldn't always tell whether it was me or Anya speaking, and in that moment of receiving that feedback, my heart whispered to me that.

00:03:06.419 --> 00:03:15.050
Maybe it was both, and maybe that is a teaching, because channeling isn't about perfection.

00:03:15.669 --> 00:03:25.050
It really is a sacred dance between you and the spirit world, and sometimes wisdom comes to you not through a flawless delivery.

00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:30.229
But through your vulnerability, through your humanity.

00:03:31.069 --> 00:03:39.210
A friend once said to me when I was out to coffee with her a long time ago, she said, Lisa, I don't want to hear from Anya.

00:03:39.409 --> 00:03:41.449
'cause I was saying, I'll do a reading for you or bring Anya through.

00:03:41.469 --> 00:03:48.889
And I wanted really just, I was at that stage where any friend that I could sit in front of, I wanted the opportunity to channel.

00:03:49.430 --> 00:03:54.530
And she looked me in the eyes and she said, I don't want to hear from Anya I want to hear from you.

00:03:55.680 --> 00:04:01.419
The real, the raw, beautiful you, and it felt like a soft reminder.

00:04:01.879 --> 00:04:09.780
You are enough, all of you, not just a light, not just the divine, but every single layer of you.

00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:15.659
And maybe that's a lesson we are learning here to trust that you matter.

00:04:16.644 --> 00:04:20.574
Just as much as the channel or the message that we are sharing.

00:04:21.915 --> 00:04:23.014
So now, beautiful.

00:04:23.704 --> 00:04:33.535
Let's take a breath together and really soften into that space where guidance can flow, not in spite of our humanity, but through it.

00:04:34.235 --> 00:04:41.535
So feel into this moment with me, and I'm gonna take a few breaths and I'm gonna bring Anya through to channel a message on this exact topic.

00:04:43.725 --> 00:04:44.985
Ah, yes, yes, yes.

00:04:45.045 --> 00:04:45.545
We are here.

00:04:45.605 --> 00:04:52.985
We are here, Lisa, and we love that we have been invited in to speak and to bring clarity through on what it is like from our perspective.

00:04:53.805 --> 00:05:02.625
The human mind and the human emotions is a very complex system, and we don't see any of it, but through the divine lens.

00:05:03.154 --> 00:05:03.694
Of truth.

00:05:04.314 --> 00:05:08.334
You are a guardian of light no matter how you show up in the world, dear Lisa.

00:05:08.675 --> 00:05:28.029
And it is through your passion and your dedication and through the energy with which you show up, that is the underlying intention that carries you through, and you will find that there are others that don't necessarily receive that and that is more a reflection of the truth that they are resonating in.

00:05:28.370 --> 00:05:33.430
And it is okay because there is a moment when you are doing this sacred soul led work.

00:05:33.649 --> 00:05:35.149
As you so beautifully put it.

00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:42.829
There is a moment of surrender surrendering to allow our frequency to flow through your vibration.

00:05:43.259 --> 00:05:45.310
This is not an easy feat to achieve.

00:05:45.410 --> 00:05:48.870
It has taken years in order to build up a relationship with you.

00:05:49.545 --> 00:06:01.204
In order to allow you to slide aside, step aside, to allow us to come through and use your vessel, blending with your human aspect in order to bring through a message.

00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:11.300
To bring clarity and truth, and in this moment there is a absolute love of the human.

00:06:11.750 --> 00:06:28.100
There is always and always has been and always will be a great depth of appreciation for what it takes, not only to show up and to allow yourself to be an expression and to be in the flow of the energy that is us.

00:06:29.060 --> 00:06:43.639
And yes, we are a collective frequency, and yes, we have given a singular name, but it was for no other intention other than to give a label that is easily identified, mostly for Lisa in the beginning because it was.

00:06:44.704 --> 00:06:44.824
Hmm.

00:06:45.125 --> 00:06:53.225
She did not feel comfortable calling us the group or being aware of our energy, but we are not singular in form.

00:06:53.644 --> 00:07:07.865
We are a frequency of vibration that whilst you may be able to tune in and pick up a frequency, the best analogy we have to explain it is that of an orchestra you hear and can feel the resonance.

00:07:08.495 --> 00:07:19.995
Of the entire orchestra can you not when you are sitting in that frequency and that vibration, but you can also be hearing the orchestra playing, which is where Lisa is right now.

00:07:20.125 --> 00:07:27.435
She's aware of the entire message in its divinity being shared through as a frequency with her.

00:07:27.805 --> 00:07:36.795
She's aware she's one aspect, but we are conducting the experience at this time and at any point in time, a listener or someone.

00:07:37.339 --> 00:07:42.279
In the receiving of this message can tune into a frequency, a part of it.

00:07:42.339 --> 00:07:44.560
Bit like hearing a flute.

00:07:44.980 --> 00:08:03.240
Whilst you're aware that there is the energetic frequency of the collective, you're also aware of your individual interpretation of the message that is coming through that has resonance for you and the experience that you are going through right here, right now.

00:08:03.699 --> 00:08:04.000
And so.

00:08:04.610 --> 00:08:10.160
There are people that will pick up this message and hear and feel and resonate with different aspects of it.

00:08:10.279 --> 00:08:20.920
There'll be parts that will resonate with Lisa's sharing and her personal journey, and there's parts of you that will feel the resonance and the energy with which we bring forth this transmission.

00:08:22.564 --> 00:08:29.225
And ultimately it is about not explaining, how and why we work in the way we are.

00:08:29.324 --> 00:08:39.985
It is just a delivery, and your interpretation is free for you to explore, experience and receive it however you choose to.

00:08:40.524 --> 00:08:55.690
And our gift is that there is a expression that is filtered through Lisa's consciousness, and it is a part of the blending that creates the expression uniquely through her, because she's a blending of us.

00:08:56.549 --> 00:08:59.250
We are Anya a collective consciousness.

00:08:59.429 --> 00:09:09.840
We have a frequency that is a match to Lisa that has been gifted to her through her desire to want to make a positive impact on the world.

00:09:10.179 --> 00:09:33.279
And it is through that signal that she sent to us all those years ago that we picked up the match and the frequency and then the creation of what is now a channeled experience was able to be birthed through her at a time when we feel there is a need from humanity to receive uplifting, empowering and light led messages.

00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:37.779
So it is our desire that you receive it with the intention with which it is given.

00:09:38.120 --> 00:09:41.019
And if it does not resonate, then that is okay as well.

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:44.259
It is about choosing your truth.

00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:51.659
It is about feeling into any information that you receive where whether it is through this format, this forum.

00:09:52.294 --> 00:09:55.804
Or in any other way, it is your discernment.

00:09:55.985 --> 00:10:14.754
It is your ability to choose and to take from this, that which is in your highest good, and only the individual can determine that there is always a collective response to anything, and there is also an individual response, and we leave that with you.

00:10:15.174 --> 00:10:32.855
Our desire is to bring through uplifting messages that help you to move with grace through each and every day, and we know through Lisa's intention that she has her own desire to want to help and uplift humanity.

00:10:33.434 --> 00:10:51.215
And that is the offering that we can give to you at this time, and it is our pleasure and our delight to share, to support, and to empower you each and every day as you move through this unique and beautiful, enriching experience.

00:10:51.634 --> 00:10:54.254
We are Anya and we are complete for today.

00:10:55.044 --> 00:10:55.534
Namaste.

00:10:58.206 --> 00:10:59.265
If that message.

00:11:00.475 --> 00:11:08.046
Whispered something inside of you if it clarified, perhaps an unseen corner of your own heart.

00:11:09.125 --> 00:11:15.005
I created a free intuition quiz to support you on your soul path.

00:11:15.546 --> 00:11:23.566
It is designed to help you understand your intuitive strengths, where you are growing, and you'll find the link in the show notes.

00:11:23.995 --> 00:11:27.166
It's a perfect next loving step.

00:11:28.870 --> 00:11:37.451
And if you're ready to dive deeper and feel supported in your growth, I would love you to join me in my Connecting to Spirit Bootcamp.

00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:53.360
It's a live guided experience crafted to help you open your intuitive channel safely and with clarity, and the community is so loving the support is real and I would be honored to hold space with you.

00:11:53.941 --> 00:11:59.441
And in case no one reminded you today, your presence matters.

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.280
I see you and I honor you.

00:12:02.870 --> 00:12:05.201
Lead with spirit, teach with love.

00:12:05.791 --> 00:12:08.000
Keep showing up just as you are.

00:12:08.380 --> 00:12:17.686
And until next time, take gentle care of your energy and remember, your presence is powerful just as you are.
