You’re Already Channeling — You’re Just Not Trusting It

Lisa Brandis 0:00

Have you ever received something, a feeling, a message or a sense, and then immediately thought, I'm just making this up, not because it wasn't there, but because it didn't feel clear enough or strong enough to trust that moment. That's where most people disconnect. Not because the connection isn't real, but because it doesn't feel. Convincing enough to follow. In the last episode, I spoke about what channeling actually is, but understanding it and recognizing when you are in a channeled state are two very different things. Because what I see again and again is that people think the problem is that they're. Not receiving anything, when in reality they are, they're just not trusting what's already naturally coming through. It's very easy to assume if your guides were really connecting with you, it would feel, um, obvious or clear or strong, or people just really want certainty, like it's undeniable, like you wouldn't be able to question it. But that's not really how channeling begins. It's very subtle. It's quiet. Often so gentle that it's very easy to just completely overlook. Sometimes it's as though something that's so simple and feels very supportive is a feeling that softens something inside of you, a sense that everything's gonna be okay, even if nothing changed externally. And because it's so simple, it can feel almost too easy, too ordinary. Almost like it's just another kinder version of yourself. So what's actually happening in these moments is something very specific. Your energy is being calibrated to a higher frequency where the communication becomes clearer and possible. And if in the beginning when you're starting to open up and if you dismiss those moments, you miss the very beginning of that special connection with your spirit team. There was a moment during a practice session with a friend that really shaped how I understood this. So at the time, we were just exploring, no pressure, no expectation. We really just showed up for the fun of it. No. Outcome that we were trying to create. Just aware that we both wanted to explore it and we were there really for the experience. So I dropped into the session quite quickly. I became aware of a presence around us, and it felt like there were multiple beings in the room, almost like a. Team. I noticed them first, and then when I looked down, it felt like I had a scalpel in my hand, but it wasn't a physical one, a metaphysical one. So my reaction was an immediate pause in my body. I had a kind of internal, no, it didn't feel like me. It didn't feel aligned to how I work or how I wanted to work, and what mattered really was how I felt, not necessarily what I was. Seeing. I just knew that I didn't like this, and then my awareness shifted to the friend who I was working with, and something just didn't feel right in my body. So I said very clearly, I'm not doing this. This isn't how I work. And. Um, even when I felt a response come back that my guide said, it's just a tool, it's energetic, it's not gonna cause any harm. I was worried about hurting her. I, I just didn't, I didn't have experience with it, didn't like the way it felt. So I said to my guides, I'm happy to work with the energy, but not like this. So in the moment I made that decision, that implement disappeared from my hand. And what happened next was. Far more aligned to how I usually work. So instead of being physical, like hands-on reiki on the body, my awareness shifted. Like I was moving through her system layer by layer. I wasn't fixing anything. I wasn't removing anything. I wasn't trying to do anything. I was simply aware that I could feel my energy expand. Aware of where energy wasn't flowing and aware of where something felt heavy or stuck. So instead of trying to change it, I brought light into that area, which is how I work. So Reiki naturally clears out any blockages because we amplify light. And in that higher frequency we know the body heals itself. Because I'm not there to fix. I'm not there to force anything. I'm there to support the body in a state where it naturally knows what it needs and how to heal itself. So as that happened, I could feel a shift, something moved through. It was subtle, but clear energy began to move so I could feel the heat and it's, it's. It was a release. There was a release that she had, not because I did something to her, but because something within her was ready to let go. And all the while there was this sense of support. That presence that I initially saw in spirit was still there. It wasn't directing, not controlling, just kind of working alongside me. So anyway, we spoke about it after that experience and I shared what I. Seen and she said, that's so interesting because I didn't tell you this, but she had actually asked to have an experience of psychic surgery'cause she'd heard about the concept and she set that intention, but didn't tell me. So what's really interesting is that it shows how we can connect without needing to communicate verbally. So what that shows is firstly, how we can connect without needing to communicate verbally. There was a telepathic connection and it also shows how thoughts and intentions can be picked up on a very different level. But that's not really the part that I wanted to share today. That's not the part that mattered. What stayed with me. Even when something is presented to you is that you get to have a choice, okay? There is no part of this. Process where you stop leading. You don't override your body, you don't ignore what doesn't feel right. You are part of the creative process. Um, you get to be the co-creator with the spirit that you're working with. And the moment that you're clear on how you wanna work, your guides will meet you there. So. When you start recognizing this in your own experience, it usually doesn't, uh, begin as a strong message like I received or clairvoyance or, or, um, feeling. The energy is strong. Sometimes it's just a gentle, subtle warmth or a heat or a feeling of love and nurturing. Um, for some it shows up in the hands. For others, it's a feeling in the chest or just a stillness or a quietening of the mind, and then it can move into perception. You might get an image pop into your mind or a thought that feels slightly different to what you normally get, or just a sense or a knowing because it's happening through you, through your mind, through your body, through your awareness. So it's very easy to question it and dismiss it before it's even being given a chance to develop. So. Then there are moments when something comes through that feels simple, like just supportive or reassuring, or like, everything's gonna be okay, or You've got this, um, and the mind can just say, yeah, like it's, yeah, that just feels too, I don't know, um, too nurturing. Okay. And, and you might be used to being a little bit more stricter with yourself, so, um, it can be easy to dismiss it because it just feels a little too gentle. So just as you've had that thought, oh my gosh, that's too basic. I want you to know that those moments matter because before anything deeper comes through, your system is being calibrated and being aligned to be able to pick up more. So instead of trying to force clarity or wait for something more obvious to start noticing, create a small moment of space, just let yourself become still, and pay attention to what shifts, and notice what you expect, what's already there. And if something does come through, capture it. Write it down, record it, because what builds trust in this process isn't intensity. It's consistency. So everything I've shared today comes back to something really simple in the presence of light, darkness ceases to exist. There's no need to force change. There's no need to fix anything. When the frequency shifts, the system responds, and that's how we know we can experience healing within our own body and inspire that healing within other people. So you're not just learning how to connect your learning, how to trust what's already there, and if you're feeling called to develop this further and you wanna understand what's actually happening when you're receiving I walk you through this step-by-step in my free live training because once you understand how this works, everything else starts to make sense. And if this resonated, go back and listen to the episode and what channeling actually is, because that will give you the foundation for everything you're starting to notice Now. You are not just waiting for a sign, you are learning how to recognize the ones that are already there.
