WEBVTT

00:00:01.758 --> 00:00:04.967
Hello, and welcome back to connecting to spirit.

00:00:05.027 --> 00:00:05.477
I'm Lisa.

00:00:05.538 --> 00:00:07.248
Brandis and today's episode.

00:00:07.578 --> 00:00:12.317
Is focused on something essential for anyone beginning to channel.

00:00:12.827 --> 00:00:13.548
Trusting the.

00:00:13.608 --> 00:00:15.378
Messages you receive.

00:00:15.737 --> 00:00:17.777
This can be challenging, especially when.

00:00:17.807 --> 00:00:21.647
You're just starting out, but it's absolutely crucial if you.

00:00:21.678 --> 00:00:25.638
Want to receive guidance that's both clear and accurate.

00:00:25.908 --> 00:00:27.647
For yourself and for others.

00:00:28.038 --> 00:00:29.088
Before we dive in.

00:00:29.117 --> 00:00:29.777
Have you shared.

00:00:29.867 --> 00:00:31.248
This podcast with a friend.

00:00:31.487 --> 00:00:34.207
I know if you know someone who's on a spiritual.

00:00:34.207 --> 00:00:38.148
spiritual journey or who is looking to deepen their connection with their intuition that can.

00:00:38.177 --> 00:00:40.247
Moment now to share this episode with them.

00:00:40.607 --> 00:00:42.078
Now let's jump straight into.

00:00:42.107 --> 00:00:43.188
Today's topic.

00:00:43.457 --> 00:00:46.277
So one of the most common fears when starting out.

00:00:46.338 --> 00:00:47.658
Is the worry.

00:00:48.018 --> 00:00:50.148
What if it's just my imagination.

00:00:50.688 --> 00:00:54.378
This thought is normal and we're going to cover some practical.

00:00:54.588 --> 00:00:58.878
Tips for distinguishing between imagination and Intune.

00:00:58.878 --> 00:01:02.777
Intuitive guidance, but I want to begin by sharing a story from my own journey.

00:01:03.768 --> 00:01:06.947
So I was at dinner and I was joined.

00:01:06.977 --> 00:01:10.847
And by three wonderful women, Rachel Fiona and Vennie, they were Reiki masters.

00:01:10.878 --> 00:01:13.128
As whom I've had the honor of teaching.

00:01:13.578 --> 00:01:15.048
They were there to support me at.

00:01:15.078 --> 00:01:19.248
At this event, it was the very first time I'd done a public.

00:01:19.397 --> 00:01:21.138
Trans channel demonstration.

00:01:21.617 --> 00:01:23.177
And I have to say having them by my side.

00:01:23.177 --> 00:01:24.647
Side made such a difference.

00:01:24.977 --> 00:01:27.378
But even with their presence, I was super.

00:01:27.378 --> 00:01:28.397
Super nervous.

00:01:28.487 --> 00:01:31.278
I was picking at my food imagining all.

00:01:31.278 --> 00:01:32.567
All the things that might go wrong.

00:01:32.897 --> 00:01:35.177
And my mind was in total overdrive.

00:01:35.207 --> 00:01:35.477
I'm sure.

00:01:35.477 --> 00:01:37.248
Sure you can relate.

00:01:37.878 --> 00:01:39.677
Uh, Rachel, who's also a personal friend.

00:01:39.737 --> 00:01:40.278
Of mine.

00:01:40.278 --> 00:01:43.097
She was sensing my nurse and she looked me right in the eye.

00:01:43.427 --> 00:01:43.578
And.

00:01:43.608 --> 00:01:47.388
She said, look, I've just projected myself into the future.

00:01:47.897 --> 00:01:50.447
The event has I've already been there.

00:01:50.447 --> 00:01:51.647
The event was amazing.

00:01:51.888 --> 00:01:55.847
You did a great job as always Lisa now stop stressing and eat your dinner.

00:01:56.688 --> 00:01:58.067
She was very direct.

00:01:58.518 --> 00:02:00.078
But she also kind of.

00:02:00.197 --> 00:02:03.947
Snapped me out of that negativity I was sitting in, I was letting.

00:02:04.037 --> 00:02:08.177
My imagination run wild in a negative way and really worrying instead.

00:02:08.177 --> 00:02:12.078
Of being present with the beautiful women who had given up their evening to support.

00:02:12.078 --> 00:02:12.707
Support me.

00:02:13.367 --> 00:02:16.247
Um, words just instantly brought me back into the present.

00:02:16.277 --> 00:02:17.627
Present I relaxed.

00:02:17.627 --> 00:02:20.777
We shared a few laughs and I was able to enjoy.

00:02:20.807 --> 00:02:21.318
My dinner.

00:02:21.737 --> 00:02:24.677
And then we made our way back up to my center, which was.

00:02:25.457 --> 00:02:26.807
Uh, located in parks.

00:02:26.837 --> 00:02:28.848
So we were at the restaurant we were sitting at was.

00:02:28.997 --> 00:02:31.157
Just a short walk from the office or the center.

00:02:31.728 --> 00:02:32.747
Um, so.

00:02:32.777 --> 00:02:36.948
So later as I was waiting in one of my healing rooms.

00:02:37.008 --> 00:02:38.147
Ready to be introduced.

00:02:38.147 --> 00:02:39.048
I looked out.

00:02:39.527 --> 00:02:41.177
Across the audience and.

00:02:41.177 --> 00:02:45.048
And I could say there was this man sitting in the front row.

00:02:45.168 --> 00:02:48.557
And he was literally typical from center.

00:02:48.858 --> 00:02:49.277
So.

00:02:49.307 --> 00:02:53.177
Not like I could even kind of not be.

00:02:53.207 --> 00:02:55.157
Aware of his presence sitting there.

00:02:55.668 --> 00:02:57.377
And he had his arms crossed.

00:02:57.377 --> 00:02:57.918
Crossed.

00:02:58.337 --> 00:03:01.247
And straightaway my heart skipped a beat my mindset.

00:03:01.608 --> 00:03:02.627
Racing again.

00:03:02.867 --> 00:03:05.478
And it's all part of the nerves of doing an event.

00:03:05.568 --> 00:03:06.138
Like this.

00:03:07.217 --> 00:03:09.228
And a status and things to myself like, oh my God.

00:03:09.228 --> 00:03:09.677
He's wife's.

00:03:09.707 --> 00:03:10.788
Uh, probably dragged it here.

00:03:11.177 --> 00:03:13.548
I bet you, he thinks this channeling stuff's real nonsense.

00:03:13.877 --> 00:03:16.788
Or we're still, what if he's a skeptic?

00:03:17.358 --> 00:03:17.747
And.

00:03:18.048 --> 00:03:21.377
I literally took a deep breath and I asked.

00:03:21.437 --> 00:03:21.978
Under my spirit.

00:03:21.978 --> 00:03:23.027
Spirit guide for help.

00:03:23.358 --> 00:03:25.848
And she responded really clearly by saying don't.

00:03:25.877 --> 00:03:27.048
Don't judge.

00:03:27.377 --> 00:03:30.048
Him by his body language, Lisa, she said, I've.

00:03:30.138 --> 00:03:30.707
Got you.

00:03:30.978 --> 00:03:33.348
Let's just focus on not just him.

00:03:33.587 --> 00:03:33.978
The entire.

00:03:33.978 --> 00:03:37.848
Higher order an audience and be of service in this way that we can.

00:03:38.388 --> 00:03:42.348
So in that moment, I knew I needed to shift my focus away from the worry.

00:03:42.348 --> 00:03:42.677
So.

00:03:42.737 --> 00:03:46.548
When I did get out to the front, I kind of adjusted my chest slightly.

00:03:46.578 --> 00:03:47.057
Slightly.

00:03:47.057 --> 00:03:49.217
So I wasn't sitting directly opposite him.

00:03:49.758 --> 00:03:50.777
And I decided.

00:03:50.777 --> 00:03:54.677
To expand my awareness to just taking the energy of the entire room.

00:03:54.768 --> 00:03:58.848
Not just that one person, uh, my beautiful Reiki master for.

00:03:59.328 --> 00:04:03.048
I helped to set the intention and the energy for the space.

00:04:03.318 --> 00:04:03.918
She got it.

00:04:03.978 --> 00:04:06.978
Everyone, including myself into a place of love and connection.

00:04:07.907 --> 00:04:11.177
And then when Andrea came through, she began to answer questions.

00:04:11.358 --> 00:04:13.247
From the audience with such ease.

00:04:13.578 --> 00:04:15.048
And the energy just flowed.

00:04:15.108 --> 00:04:19.247
As it always had done the session turned out to be incredible justice, Rachel.

00:04:19.278 --> 00:04:23.478
Rachel had predicted and at the end, that same man who I.

00:04:23.478 --> 00:04:25.517
I had worried about approached me.

00:04:25.877 --> 00:04:26.778
And I remember thinking.

00:04:27.137 --> 00:04:27.377
Here we.

00:04:27.408 --> 00:04:28.728
Go my heart skipped a beat.

00:04:29.148 --> 00:04:31.218
And he actually came over and thanked me.

00:04:31.218 --> 00:04:33.257
He said, That's such a great night.

00:04:33.348 --> 00:04:34.038
I loved it.

00:04:34.038 --> 00:04:35.747
He said the message that anew gay.

00:04:35.778 --> 00:04:39.677
Gave his wife had answered a question that.

00:04:39.708 --> 00:04:43.848
She'd been struggling with any citizen validated something he'd been saying to her.

00:04:43.968 --> 00:04:45.947
For months, it was around a decision.

00:04:46.487 --> 00:04:47.747
And the channeled.

00:04:47.807 --> 00:04:51.978
Message reinforced the decision that she was going to be making to leave a particular.

00:04:52.007 --> 00:04:53.627
Job that she was in and unhappy in.

00:04:54.048 --> 00:04:56.177
And he'd been saying pretty much the same things.

00:04:56.298 --> 00:04:57.978
And you had said to her as well.

00:04:58.307 --> 00:05:00.048
So this experience was.

00:05:00.077 --> 00:05:04.548
It was such a great reminder, not to let my imagination run wild.

00:05:04.788 --> 00:05:05.418
With worry.

00:05:05.958 --> 00:05:08.447
So it is so natural to have fears.

00:05:08.478 --> 00:05:11.747
Fears and doubts, especially in this kind of work.

00:05:12.137 --> 00:05:12.648
We're hearing that.

00:05:12.708 --> 00:05:16.877
And those negative thoughts are just part of the journey been channeling for.

00:05:16.877 --> 00:05:17.927
For 15 years.

00:05:17.927 --> 00:05:20.778
And this event was about five years ago.

00:05:21.348 --> 00:05:24.978
Um, maybe even a little longer, it was one of the first public trans.

00:05:25.218 --> 00:05:26.418
Channel demonstrations.

00:05:26.898 --> 00:05:28.848
Uh, but I just wanted to say that it's.

00:05:28.937 --> 00:05:29.687
Important.

00:05:30.197 --> 00:05:31.788
To learn how to manage.

00:05:32.117 --> 00:05:33.048
Your negative thoughts.

00:05:33.168 --> 00:05:37.278
Instead of expecting that to disappear, what you will find with channeling.

00:05:37.338 --> 00:05:41.148
Or mediumship or healing, whatever we're doing, we're always expanding, which means.

00:05:41.567 --> 00:05:43.487
We're always growing.

00:05:43.877 --> 00:05:45.348
And moving into areas where.

00:05:45.408 --> 00:05:47.718
There's discomfort where there's discomfort.

00:05:47.747 --> 00:05:49.247
It means there's growth and change.

00:05:49.278 --> 00:05:49.848
Change.

00:05:50.208 --> 00:05:53.447
So we can turn down the dial on the worry and take.

00:05:53.538 --> 00:05:55.848
Small steps, which is the key here.

00:05:56.208 --> 00:05:57.648
Small steps.

00:05:57.737 --> 00:05:59.778
In the direction of our passion and purpose.

00:06:00.048 --> 00:06:01.548
So just to give you some context.

00:06:01.937 --> 00:06:05.687
But being channeling on yet through a one-on-one healing sessions.

00:06:06.017 --> 00:06:09.648
For a good eight or nine years before I took that late.

00:06:09.708 --> 00:06:12.708
To start trance channeling in front of a group of strangers.

00:06:12.708 --> 00:06:13.848
So I didn't just suddenly.

00:06:13.877 --> 00:06:15.588
Suddenly rock up one day and go.

00:06:15.708 --> 00:06:18.048
And yeah, let's just do readings for.

00:06:18.077 --> 00:06:18.648
A group.

00:06:19.307 --> 00:06:21.978
It's something that had been fine tuned and practiced.

00:06:22.158 --> 00:06:26.327
Over years before I felt that that was the right next step for me.

00:06:26.658 --> 00:06:30.348
But it didn't mean that I wasn't stressed and nervous or even.

00:06:30.377 --> 00:06:32.088
I have doubts, whether it would be able to do it.

00:06:32.598 --> 00:06:34.548
So the reason I'm sharing this with you is because.

00:06:34.577 --> 00:06:38.778
Because over time that trust builds when you supported.

00:06:39.077 --> 00:06:42.677
By feedback from your clients when doing a channel.

00:06:42.708 --> 00:06:45.288
Readings through, um, working with Reiki.

00:06:45.978 --> 00:06:46.817
Uh, as well.

00:06:46.877 --> 00:06:50.747
As knowing that beautiful feeling of being in flow when.

00:06:50.987 --> 00:06:52.187
We are channeling.

00:06:52.728 --> 00:06:54.947
So I want to just finalize this by.

00:06:54.978 --> 00:06:59.148
By getting into some practical tips to help you start building trust.

00:06:59.507 --> 00:07:02.028
In your own channeling and healing journey.

00:07:02.028 --> 00:07:03.048
So tip number one.

00:07:03.077 --> 00:07:07.247
One recognize imagination and intuition.

00:07:07.427 --> 00:07:11.177
As close friends and Kate, remember the imagination.

00:07:11.447 --> 00:07:13.848
And intuition are very closely linked.

00:07:13.848 --> 00:07:15.377
Sometimes we can dismiss.

00:07:15.468 --> 00:07:19.218
Miss our intuitive insights because they feel like our imagination.

00:07:19.577 --> 00:07:23.478
But often imagination is simply the gateway to.

00:07:23.478 --> 00:07:27.168
To your intuition, especially when it's mediumship and channeling.

00:07:27.497 --> 00:07:27.648
And when.

00:07:27.677 --> 00:07:29.718
We're starting to get messages and guidance.

00:07:29.778 --> 00:07:31.548
It can come through that imagination.

00:07:31.668 --> 00:07:35.778
Nation and intuitive process trusting this process starts by tuning.

00:07:35.778 --> 00:07:38.208
Going into how each message feels.

00:07:38.598 --> 00:07:39.978
Is there a sense of calm?

00:07:40.127 --> 00:07:40.817
Clarity.

00:07:41.838 --> 00:07:43.848
And positivity, then that's a strong.

00:07:43.877 --> 00:07:45.468
Strong sign it's intuition.

00:07:45.468 --> 00:07:46.367
That's guiding you.

00:07:47.447 --> 00:07:48.348
My second.

00:07:48.377 --> 00:07:50.088
Tip is to build trust over time.

00:07:50.447 --> 00:07:52.278
You don't need full trust.

00:07:52.278 --> 00:07:55.278
Just right away, just like in my story.

00:07:55.548 --> 00:07:56.447
Trusting in.

00:07:56.478 --> 00:07:57.017
Your guidance.

00:07:57.288 --> 00:08:00.648
Over time, those moments when you validate what's coming.

00:08:00.708 --> 00:08:01.278
Through.

00:08:01.937 --> 00:08:04.548
Um, Like the feedback I got from the man.

00:08:04.577 --> 00:08:08.658
Then after the session are what strengthens your translatable by little.

00:08:09.497 --> 00:08:12.677
Uh, start small and grow in confidence.

00:08:13.038 --> 00:08:16.877
Start with simple small messages or ask for insight.

00:08:16.877 --> 00:08:18.468
Insights on light topics.

00:08:18.557 --> 00:08:21.048
I always teach my loan to channel students.

00:08:21.108 --> 00:08:24.978
To work with angel cards because we start with a basic, we have a theme.

00:08:25.007 --> 00:08:29.148
Theory a theme that comes from the cards that we pull and then we stop.

00:08:29.177 --> 00:08:33.077
Start to talk and communicate with our guides and start to expand upon the message.

00:08:33.227 --> 00:08:37.278
Uh, either from what we read in the book, the guide book, and then how.

00:08:37.307 --> 00:08:41.477
We take that into how can we develop that communication and further, deeper?

00:08:41.477 --> 00:08:43.847
Deepen in the messages that we can get from our guides.

00:08:44.148 --> 00:08:45.347
So when we also.

00:08:45.378 --> 00:08:47.957
So practice in small manageable ways.

00:08:48.168 --> 00:08:49.548
It helps us to build the trust.

00:08:49.577 --> 00:08:51.977
Trust without overwhelming us.

00:08:52.638 --> 00:08:53.748
I also suggest you look.

00:08:53.807 --> 00:08:57.648
For patterns and repetition pay attention to repeated messages.

00:08:57.677 --> 00:09:01.878
Messages, a lot of people will say they see 11, 11, and we.

00:09:01.878 --> 00:09:05.748
I always suggest that when you see a message stop.

00:09:05.898 --> 00:09:10.278
What you doing and tune in and just connect with your guides and see if there's something that they want you to know.

00:09:10.668 --> 00:09:13.398
What do I identify or check with the thoughts that you're thinking?

00:09:13.697 --> 00:09:14.447
Because we create.

00:09:14.477 --> 00:09:15.587
Create our own reality.

00:09:15.587 --> 00:09:18.347
So sometimes we have to stop and, and go into that.

00:09:18.378 --> 00:09:22.548
Observer mode and just see whether the thoughts we are having come from love or fear.

00:09:23.357 --> 00:09:26.477
Um, Also guidance will come through in different ways.

00:09:26.658 --> 00:09:29.148
But with a common theme or message.

00:09:29.538 --> 00:09:30.648
These patterns are assigned.

00:09:30.707 --> 00:09:31.577
To trust.

00:09:31.788 --> 00:09:33.077
What you're hearing.

00:09:33.648 --> 00:09:34.878
Or what you're receiving.

00:09:35.477 --> 00:09:37.697
So ask for validation as well.

00:09:37.697 --> 00:09:38.748
Finally, you can ask.

00:09:38.778 --> 00:09:42.947
Ask your guides for specific validation, whether it's a sign or just feeling.

00:09:43.008 --> 00:09:44.148
Feeling of certainty.

00:09:44.207 --> 00:09:46.878
You can ask your guides for confirmation to help.

00:09:46.937 --> 00:09:50.028
You to feel more confident about the messages that you're receiving?

00:09:50.327 --> 00:09:51.048
The other thing I.

00:09:51.077 --> 00:09:55.097
I suggest is that students get together and practice with each other because.

00:09:55.337 --> 00:09:59.148
You know, you're in a safe place to be able to slip up and make a few mistakes.

00:09:59.177 --> 00:10:01.548
Mistakes, which is part of learning anything.

00:10:02.087 --> 00:10:03.378
And it's certainly a part of learning.

00:10:03.467 --> 00:10:06.378
Channeling and learning how to connect to mediumship and your intuition.

00:10:06.918 --> 00:10:07.248
So.

00:10:07.488 --> 00:10:08.477
They have it.

00:10:08.538 --> 00:10:11.477
These are my five practical ways.

00:10:11.508 --> 00:10:15.648
To build trust in the messages you receive when you're channeling remember.

00:10:15.677 --> 00:10:19.577
Remember, this journey is a process with practice patients.

00:10:20.207 --> 00:10:21.258
And a little faith.

00:10:21.378 --> 00:10:23.748
Your trust will grow and channeling will become.

00:10:23.807 --> 00:10:27.648
Even more Nash, more and even more natural part.

00:10:27.677 --> 00:10:28.638
