00:00:00.117 --> 00:00:08.788
There are moments in this work that remind you that this is so much bigger than us today.
00:00:08.788 --> 00:00:18.748
I attuned one of my Reiki level two practitioners, and the energy that came through in the attunement was just out of this world.
00:00:18.807 --> 00:00:19.167
It.
00:00:19.827 --> 00:00:24.628
Really was, um, it wasn't just the attunement, like the process of the attunement.
00:00:24.628 --> 00:00:33.387
It really was a remembering, um, a remembering that this work isn't about doing more, it's about actually allowing more.
00:00:34.018 --> 00:00:38.997
And one of the things that came through so clearly was that.
00:00:39.287 --> 00:00:50.088
We as women need to rise, we need to lean into that calling, and the way we do that is together because no woman can do it alone.
00:00:50.137 --> 00:01:00.487
I created this business to help the collective really step into meaningful work because intuitive reiki isn't just a modality.
00:01:00.997 --> 00:01:11.578
It really is a frequency of pure love and we stand on the shoulders of other great healers and practitioners, that have paved the way for us.
00:01:12.117 --> 00:01:21.298
What if the one thing that's been holding you back from trusting your intuition isn't a lack of ability, but a case of.
00:01:21.712 --> 00:01:25.612
Mistaken identity because here's what I've discovered.
00:01:26.153 --> 00:01:32.722
After more than two decades of doing this work, most people aren't struggling to get guidance.
00:01:32.753 --> 00:01:39.112
They're struggling to recognize it, to tell it apart from the fear, the doubt.
00:01:39.192 --> 00:01:45.313
The stories that our minds create and today is going to change that.
00:01:45.703 --> 00:01:47.772
Welcome back, beautiful soul.
00:01:47.832 --> 00:01:52.028
I'm your host, Lisa Brandis, and this is connecting to Spirit.
00:01:52.105 --> 00:02:04.075
If you've ever had a feeling about something like a pool, or a nudge or a quiet knowing, and then you've talked yourself straight out of it, then this episode is for you.
00:02:04.736 --> 00:02:10.526
If you've ever wondered, is this my intuition speaking or is it just fear?
00:02:10.885 --> 00:02:21.070
Then this episode is also for you, and if you've ever sat down to tune in and come up completely blank, because your mind was too full of the very problem you were trying to solve.
00:02:22.086 --> 00:02:26.225
Yes, this episode is absolutely for you.
00:02:26.616 --> 00:02:31.415
Over the last two episodes, we've been building something really important together.
00:02:31.626 --> 00:02:36.276
In episode one, we explored how intuition is your most advanced guidance system.
00:02:36.695 --> 00:02:41.151
It's a primal biological intelligence that arrives before the mind has.
00:02:41.605 --> 00:02:50.846
Even had time to catch up, and we talked about how the monkey mind charges in right after and can muddy up the water.
00:02:51.235 --> 00:02:56.545
Then in episode two we looked at how intuition actually shows up in everyday life, usually.
00:02:57.165 --> 00:03:04.575
Quietly not shouting often with a gentle nudge, a knowing or a pull towards something.
00:03:04.876 --> 00:03:08.145
And I left you with a question, which was, are you listening?
00:03:08.596 --> 00:03:14.656
Well, today, I wanna take that even further because listening is one thing, but discernment.
00:03:15.015 --> 00:03:17.566
Knowing what you are actually listening to.
00:03:17.566 --> 00:03:20.955
Well, that's where the real trust begins.
00:03:21.256 --> 00:03:28.485
Today I am gonna walk you through what I call the three voices, the three things that can show up when you tune in.
00:03:29.020 --> 00:03:34.390
True inspired guidance, fear, and your own thinking mind.
00:03:34.721 --> 00:03:43.420
And I'm gonna share real stories from my own life that I think will make each one land in a way that it just clicks and makes sense for you.
00:03:43.841 --> 00:03:47.591
So first of all, the first voice is fear.
00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:49.390
I call it the story maker.
00:03:49.991 --> 00:03:50.890
We'll start there because.
00:03:51.295 --> 00:03:53.096
Fear is the sneakiest one.
00:03:53.126 --> 00:03:54.895
It doesn't announce itself.
00:03:54.895 --> 00:03:57.536
It doesn't say, hi, I am fear and I'm about to derail you.
00:03:57.566 --> 00:04:04.915
It literally shows up as a very convincing story, a whole narrative that feels completely logical and real.
00:04:05.096 --> 00:04:10.015
However, it's built entirely on assumption that maybe hasn't been tested.
00:04:10.406 --> 00:04:13.855
And remember what we talked about in episode one, the Monkey Mind.
00:04:13.941 --> 00:04:15.531
Fear and the monkey mind.
00:04:15.531 --> 00:04:16.790
Well, they're best friends.
00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:18.380
Fear creates a story.
00:04:18.380 --> 00:04:23.630
The monkey mind argues the case, and together they can be extremely persuasive.
00:04:23.930 --> 00:04:23.990
So.
00:04:25.240 --> 00:04:29.591
I'm gonna share with you a moment from my own life that captures this perfectly.
00:04:29.651 --> 00:04:40.331
So I was on tour with my business coach and before the audience would arrive, I would walk into the room, she'd ask me to call in my reiki energy, activate the symbols, and just.
00:04:40.540 --> 00:04:41.951
Build the energy in the room.
00:04:42.310 --> 00:04:58.680
So I thought I was in there alone with my business coach and I was literally drawing the symbols in thin air and I was making it big because it was a big conference center, As I was doing it, a marketing coordinator came in, she saw what I was doing, and she's like, what are you doing?
00:04:59.250 --> 00:05:03.031
And I immediately felt that flush of embarrassment.
00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.850
My first thought was, oh my God, she's gonna think I'm crazy.
00:05:06.180 --> 00:05:16.081
I kind of stumbled over my answer, oh, I'm a reiki master, and just putting some symbols in the room, and kind of tried to exit that conversation quickly.
00:05:17.401 --> 00:05:18.600
However, afterwards.
00:05:18.915 --> 00:05:21.675
I was building a story in my head.
00:05:21.675 --> 00:05:23.656
What does she think about me?
00:05:23.925 --> 00:05:25.875
She probably thinks I'm out of my mind.
00:05:26.505 --> 00:05:27.526
What am I doing?
00:05:27.526 --> 00:05:30.586
Because I was presenting to corporate as well.
00:05:30.586 --> 00:05:32.055
So why am I doing this?
00:05:32.505 --> 00:05:34.875
I got overly critical of myself and then.
00:05:35.086 --> 00:05:45.225
Later, once I'd actually gotten to know this woman, we were having dinner and she actually came around to that conversation and asked me again what I was doing in the room.
00:05:45.375 --> 00:05:56.956
And she was genuinely curious, open-minded, and she wanted to understand exactly how Reiki worked and how raising the energy, um, in the room, the kind of effect it had.
00:05:56.956 --> 00:06:03.180
So we ended up having the most amazing conversation, and I just thought all of that.
00:06:04.021 --> 00:06:06.000
All of that overthinking, none of it was true.
00:06:06.000 --> 00:06:12.721
So fear had taken one moment, a woman asking a question and built an entire case against me.
00:06:12.721 --> 00:06:20.641
And here's the thing, that story I told myself, it stopped me from standing confidently in my gifts, even just for a little moment.
00:06:20.730 --> 00:06:22.680
And that's exactly what fear does.
00:06:22.680 --> 00:06:23.850
It's a great example.
00:06:23.940 --> 00:06:25.141
It creates stories.
00:06:26.000 --> 00:06:30.500
Those stories if we let them stop us from living our full potential.
00:06:30.980 --> 00:06:33.411
So here's your discernment key for fear.
00:06:33.440 --> 00:06:36.800
It grips, it contracts, it narrows.
00:06:36.800 --> 00:06:42.021
And when you pause and question the story, like really question it, it usually can't hold up.
00:06:42.531 --> 00:06:46.190
So the second voice is true inspired guidance.
00:06:46.190 --> 00:06:52.581
Now let me share what true inspired guidance feels like because it has a very different quality to it.
00:06:53.461 --> 00:06:59.401
So in episode two I talked about how intuition is quiet and it doesn't shout, it doesn't argue.
00:06:59.761 --> 00:07:05.730
It simply appears like a feeling or a knowing, or a gentle nudge, and that's true.
00:07:05.730 --> 00:07:11.975
But today I wanna add something true Guidance has a steadiness a power to it.
00:07:12.456 --> 00:07:17.706
It, even when there's nervousness present, the guidance itself doesn't waver.
00:07:18.125 --> 00:07:39.156
There was a time when I was invited by, um, a, an old coach actually, to come and do a live channeling session in a community that she had built, and she was in the process of stepping away from the corporate world and started to awaken her intuition and she'd gathered a group of beautiful, open-minded souls.
00:07:39.725 --> 00:07:52.466
Although she was actually clinical in her work and a lot of her clients up to that date had been corporate, she assured me that these were a very open-minded group, even though they were complete strangers to me.
00:07:52.855 --> 00:07:54.115
They knew nothing about me.
00:07:54.115 --> 00:07:56.036
They didn't know anything about channeling.
00:07:56.036 --> 00:07:57.550
Probably had never experienced it.
00:07:58.130 --> 00:07:59.790
So this is one of my first.
00:08:00.536 --> 00:08:05.036
Online demonstrations of channeling and to say I was nervous is an understatement.
00:08:05.605 --> 00:08:15.175
Um, so yes, I was nervous, but there was also this steadiness and inner sense that felt expansive and like this was right.
00:08:15.536 --> 00:08:20.036
So that's a distinction I wanna really get you to feel into fear grips.
00:08:20.036 --> 00:08:27.386
It contracts, it makes everything feel kind of urgent and dangerous, true intuitive guidance.
00:08:27.880 --> 00:08:30.370
Has a completely different kind of texture.
00:08:30.701 --> 00:08:33.100
It's quieter, it's grounded.
00:08:33.461 --> 00:08:37.691
It often arrives more as a knowing rather than a loud voice.
00:08:37.750 --> 00:08:42.760
And even when there's fear sitting right beside it, the guidance itself holds you.
00:08:42.760 --> 00:08:43.780
It doesn't argue.
00:08:43.780 --> 00:08:46.400
It doesn't try to convince you, it simply waits.
00:08:46.421 --> 00:08:50.201
So when I stepped into that channeling experience.
00:08:50.635 --> 00:08:53.275
I actually wasn't operating from my thinking mind.
00:08:53.696 --> 00:09:11.686
I became open and receptive to the guidance and I guided, I brought through my guide Anya and she was able to channel a message to the audience, and it came through in exactly the way that the person in the hot seat I was doing the reading for, needed to hear.
00:09:12.046 --> 00:09:15.046
So here's your discernment key for true guidance.
00:09:15.046 --> 00:09:16.125
It holds steady.
00:09:16.306 --> 00:09:21.466
It doesn't need to argue, and it's still there when the fear quietens down.
00:09:21.796 --> 00:09:30.316
So that's what it feels like to trust your intuition, not the absence of fear or nervousness, but the presence of something deeper.
00:09:30.860 --> 00:09:33.230
That allows you to choose to follow anyway.
00:09:33.770 --> 00:09:37.880
So the third one is your thinking mind.
00:09:38.301 --> 00:09:42.860
Now, this is the most nuanced and the most practically useful.
00:09:42.860 --> 00:09:45.260
So here's the thing about your own beautiful mind.
00:09:45.260 --> 00:09:46.821
It's incredibly capable.
00:09:47.181 --> 00:09:50.150
And when something's weighing on you, it wants to fix it.
00:09:50.150 --> 00:09:51.860
It circles with the problem.
00:09:52.186 --> 00:09:55.005
Analyzes plans, worries, revisits.
00:09:55.485 --> 00:10:08.956
And the challenge is when your attention is completely absorbed by a problem, you literally cannot clearly receive guidance that would solve it because the solution and the problem don't live in the same vibration.
00:10:08.956 --> 00:10:11.115
Your guides your highest self spirit.
00:10:11.535 --> 00:10:21.436
They communicate from a place of unconditional love flow expansion, and if your energy is contracted around worry, the channel just gets.
00:10:21.735 --> 00:10:25.995
Muddied, you can try to tune in, but the reception just isn't clear.
00:10:26.086 --> 00:10:27.916
And I experienced this recently.
00:10:28.275 --> 00:10:38.475
I was starting to worry about an upcoming event, churning it over and over in my mind, and I was trying to tune in for guidance, but nothing would come through.
00:10:38.475 --> 00:10:40.306
It was like, I would just get crickets.
00:10:40.576 --> 00:10:43.966
My thinking mind was too dominant, too loud.
00:10:44.441 --> 00:10:53.140
And so I made a choice to put the problem down and I meditated and I decided I'm not gonna try and figure this problem out.
00:10:53.140 --> 00:10:54.910
I'm just gonna shift my state.
00:10:55.390 --> 00:10:59.110
And about 30 minutes later, quietly a message came through.
00:10:59.110 --> 00:11:03.191
Remember, this isn't just on you to create this experience.
00:11:03.191 --> 00:11:05.500
So we are working in a partnership.
00:11:05.910 --> 00:11:25.110
All you need to do is focus right now on being here and being now and focusing on today, and I immediately felt that wisdom that shifted me back into gratitude, back into trust, into the present moment, which is exactly what the Reiki principles have always called me back to just for today.
00:11:25.380 --> 00:11:26.160
And it was.
00:11:26.421 --> 00:11:33.201
That teaching that I felt from my spirit guide when I needed it, when I was stuck.
00:11:33.201 --> 00:11:43.530
So when you are stuck in a problem, the most powerful thing you can do is ask Spirit for the solution and then let the problem go, hand it over, shift your state and go and live your day.
00:11:44.451 --> 00:11:58.461
The answers will come maybe through a number sequence, like 3, 3, 3 or 4, 4, 4 maybe through a song, a conversation, a YouTube video that lands right in your lap, maybe through a quiet whisper in a still moment.
00:11:58.971 --> 00:12:02.870
Just like the stories in episode two, these subtle nudges.
00:12:03.451 --> 00:12:07.966
are what the universe sends when we are finally in a state to receive them.
00:12:07.966 --> 00:12:11.985
So here's your discernment key for your own thinking Mind.
00:12:12.436 --> 00:12:22.421
If you're going around and round in circles and nothing's becoming clear, your thinking you're not receiving, shift your state first and then the guidance will follow.
00:12:23.655 --> 00:12:29.505
Before we move into our channeled message that I would like to deliver, I wanna invite you to do something right now.
00:12:30.135 --> 00:12:43.186
Think of something that you've been sitting with lately, something you've been turning over in your mind, trying to figure out, might be a decision, or a direction, or a question about your path.
00:12:43.785 --> 00:12:46.005
Now, just for a moment, put it down.
00:12:46.245 --> 00:12:47.806
Soften your shoulders.
00:12:47.806 --> 00:12:49.875
Take one slow deep breath.
00:12:51.350 --> 00:12:55.100
And ask yourself, which voice have I been listening to?
00:12:55.400 --> 00:13:00.980
Fear my own mind, or the quiet steady voice of true guidance.
00:13:01.640 --> 00:13:04.461
And the good news is you don't need to answer that right now.
00:13:04.461 --> 00:13:06.291
Just let the question sit.
00:13:06.291 --> 00:13:14.240
Because the fact that you are here listening to this or watching this on YouTube, that in itself was your intuition leading you somewhere.
00:13:14.860 --> 00:13:22.139
So I am gonna bring a message through from my guide, Anya, so you can hear her perspective on this very topic.
00:13:22.501 --> 00:13:29.221
The mind would like to make the experience of connecting with your spirit team, your guide, your guardians, very complicated.
00:13:29.552 --> 00:13:34.951
It would like to give you a rule and a set of processes and practices, and.
00:13:35.412 --> 00:13:44.081
Uh, experiences that are needed to be done in order to access the quality that is already within your pure nature.
00:13:44.081 --> 00:13:52.932
So when you are in that open-minded state, when you are in the flow and in the present moment, your guides are, we are here, we're always with you.
00:13:52.932 --> 00:13:58.211
We're seeing and experiencing life through your eyes, through your vision, through your perception.
00:13:58.692 --> 00:14:02.081
And there is nothing more exhilarating for us than to be.
00:14:02.437 --> 00:14:15.216
Asked and invited into, have this co-creative experience with you on this planet and for healers and light workers and people that are awakening to the difference that they can make.
00:14:15.216 --> 00:14:20.466
Know that your guides will support you and encourage you every single step of the way.
00:14:20.826 --> 00:14:25.746
Ah, you just need to ask and then allow their frequency there.
00:14:26.027 --> 00:14:32.326
Insights, their guidance, their inspiration to give you the step.
00:14:32.386 --> 00:14:39.527
Quite often we find when people are awakening to their intuition, they want all the answers, and they want them all now.
00:14:39.527 --> 00:14:44.537
But usually your guidance will give you just a step by step approach.
00:14:44.537 --> 00:14:46.427
So it's not to overwhelm you.
00:14:46.787 --> 00:14:55.187
There is a lot to see and feel and experience in this earth based reality, and we find that every single step, every single moment.
00:14:55.432 --> 00:15:10.131
Is a treasure trove of delight, and we sit here with our perspective and we wait for you to feel the resonance of that and then create the physical experience of that which is most important to you.
00:15:10.522 --> 00:15:12.711
We hope you have enjoyed this transmission.
00:15:12.711 --> 00:15:13.552
We are Anya.
00:15:13.552 --> 00:15:23.871
We are a collective of spirit guides that are here to teach, to inspire, and to activate the energy within you as you journey through to your spiritual path.
00:15:24.476 --> 00:15:30.956
It is a beautiful, beautiful opportunity to share and to explore, and to express.
00:15:31.136 --> 00:15:32.606
We thank you for your time.
00:15:32.606 --> 00:15:41.397
We thank you for your presence and most importantly, we thank you for being open to this way of, being guided.

Namaste day.
00:15:42.658 --> 00:15:53.697
So I hope that you enjoyed that little segment, um, and connecting and hearing from the wisdom as Anya.
00:15:53.727 --> 00:15:54.957
So beautifully put it.
00:15:55.327 --> 00:15:58.148
And until next time, stay tuned.
00:15:58.238 --> 00:16:02.557
Let us know if you loved this episode, what you liked about it.
00:16:02.587 --> 00:16:07.148
If you start putting some of the teachings into practice, uh, send me a message.
00:16:07.148 --> 00:16:12.998
We'd love to connect and share it with a friend if there's someone that you know would benefit from this episode.
00:16:12.998 --> 00:16:13.628
Take care.
00:16:13.658 --> 00:16:14.707
See you in the next one.
00:16:14.768 --> 00:16:15.128
Bye.
