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.

Episode Transcript

Lisa Brandis (00:00):
Hey, beautiful.
I am so grateful you are heretoday.
I wanna share something deeplypersonal, especially if you've
ever felt the pressure of beinghigh vibe or to hold space for
others, even when your heartdoesn't feel steady.
My intention today is to gentlystep behind the scenes of what

(00:20):
it really means to prepare yourenergy before channeling or
before any sacred soul led work.
This is for you, my friend.
If you walk the path as ahealer, a teacher, or an
intuitive guide.
A little while ago I ran anevent where I followed a nudge
from my intuition, and I went tothe venue early.

(00:42):
Just to feel into the spacebefore the night began.
When I arrived, I was a littledisorientated.
The venue was new to me.
No one was there to greet me.
I didn't know where to go, andin my confusion, I even set off
an alarm.
It definitely threw me off.
But it also prepared me becausewhen I returned that evening to

(01:03):
channel, the space felt a littlemore familiar and it helped me
to settle more easily.
But what I hadn't realized wasthat I was still carrying energy
from earlier that day.
I'd had.
An experience that left mefeeling a little scattered.
It was just a simple catch up,but I didn't give myself the

(01:26):
space to ground or clear beforestepping into the sacred work
ahead.
So I decided to share with yousome.
Gentle loving reminders to helpyou prepare energy before
stepping into any sacred space.
Open space around your eventsemotionally and energetically so

(01:48):
you're not carrying unprocessedenergy inside or into your
sessions.
Arrive early, especially inunfamiliar places.
It just builds comfort and calmsyour energy down and ground into
your intention.
Really get clear with yourself,why am I doing this?

(02:09):
What is my intention?
What is a gift I'm bringingthrough?
How do I wanna serve?
How do I wanna support myaudience?
If you're sensitive.
And that's a profound strengthby the way.
But how you enter a moment orhow you enter and experience
deeply impacts what flowsthrough you.

(02:29):
So going back to my story thatnight, I felt a subtle murmur in
my vibration and the feedbackconfirmed it.
I had a bit of irritation goingon in my energy.
I didn't have that usual claritythat I have.
That night I could feel a subtlemurmur in my vibration, and the
feedback I got confirmed it.

(02:49):
It wasn't quite my usualclarity.
One audience member said shecouldn't always tell whether it
was me or Anya speaking, and inthat moment of receiving that
feedback, my heart whispered tome that.
Maybe it was both, and maybethat is a teaching, because

(03:12):
channeling isn't aboutperfection.
It really is a sacred dancebetween you and the spirit
world, and sometimes wisdomcomes to you not through a
flawless delivery.
But through your vulnerability,through your humanity.
A friend once said to me when Iwas out to coffee with her a

(03:35):
long time ago, she said, Lisa, Idon't want to hear from Anya.
'cause I was saying, I'll do areading for you or bring Anya
through.
And I wanted really just, I wasat that stage where any friend
that I could sit in front of, Iwanted the opportunity to
channel.
And she looked me in the eyesand she said, I don't want to
hear from Anya I want to hearfrom you.
The real, the raw, beautifulyou, and it felt like a soft

(04:01):
reminder.
You are enough, all of you, notjust a light, not just the
divine, but every single layerof you.
And maybe that's a lesson we arelearning here to trust that you
matter.
Just as much as the channel orthe message that we are sharing.

(04:21):
So now, beautiful.
Let's take a breath together andreally soften into that space
where guidance can flow, not inspite of our humanity, but
through it.
So feel into this moment withme, and I'm gonna take a few
breaths and I'm gonna bring Anyathrough to channel a message on
this exact topic.

Anya (04:43):
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
We are here.
We are here, Lisa, and we lovethat we have been invited in to
speak and to bring claritythrough on what it is like from
our perspective.
The human mind and the humanemotions is a very complex
system, and we don't see any ofit, but through the divine lens.
Of truth.

(05:04):
You are a guardian of light nomatter how you show up in the
world, dear Lisa.
And it is through your passionand your dedication and through
the energy with which you showup, that is the underlying
intention that carries youthrough, and you will find that
there are others that don'tnecessarily receive that and

(05:24):
that is more a reflection of thetruth that they are resonating
in.
And it is okay because there isa moment when you are doing this
sacred soul led work.
As you so beautifully put it.
There is a moment of surrendersurrendering to allow our
frequency to flow through yourvibration.
This is not an easy feat toachieve.

(05:45):
It has taken years in order tobuild up a relationship with
you.
In order to allow you to slideaside, step aside, to allow us
to come through and use yourvessel, blending with your human
aspect in order to bring througha message.
To bring clarity and truth, andin this moment there is a

(06:09):
absolute love of the human.
There is always and always hasbeen and always will be a great
depth of appreciation for whatit takes, not only to show up
and to allow yourself to be anexpression and to be in the flow
of the energy that is us.

(06:29):
And yes, we are a collectivefrequency, and yes, we have
given a singular name, but itwas for no other intention other
than to give a label that iseasily identified, mostly for
Lisa in the beginning because itwas.
Hmm.
She did not feel comfortablecalling us the group or being

(06:49):
aware of our energy, but we arenot singular in form.
We are a frequency of vibrationthat whilst you may be able to
tune in and pick up a frequency,the best analogy we have to
explain it is that of anorchestra you hear and can feel
the resonance.
Of the entire orchestra can younot when you are sitting in that

(07:12):
frequency and that vibration,but you can also be hearing the
orchestra playing, which iswhere Lisa is right now.
She's aware of the entiremessage in its divinity being
shared through as a frequencywith her.
She's aware she's one aspect,but we are conducting the
experience at this time and atany point in time, a listener or

(07:36):
someone.
In the receiving of this messagecan tune into a frequency, a
part of it.
Bit like hearing a flute.
Whilst you're aware that thereis the energetic frequency of
the collective, you're alsoaware of your individual
interpretation of the messagethat is coming through that has

(07:58):
resonance for you and theexperience that you are going
through right here, right now.
And so.
There are people that will pickup this message and hear and
feel and resonate with differentaspects of it.
There'll be parts that willresonate with Lisa's sharing and
her personal journey, andthere's parts of you that will
feel the resonance and theenergy with which we bring forth

(08:19):
this transmission.
And ultimately it is about notexplaining, how and why we work
in the way we are.
It is just a delivery, and yourinterpretation is free for you
to explore, experience andreceive it however you choose
to.

(08:40):
And our gift is that there is aexpression that is filtered
through Lisa's consciousness,and it is a part of the blending
that creates the expressionuniquely through her, because
she's a blending of us.
We are Anya a collectiveconsciousness.
We have a frequency that is amatch to Lisa that has been

(09:04):
gifted to her through her desireto want to make a positive
impact on the world.
And it is through that signalthat she sent to us all those
years ago that we picked up thematch and the frequency and then
the creation of what is now achanneled experience was able to
be birthed through her at a timewhen we feel there is a need

(09:27):
from humanity to receiveuplifting, empowering and light
led messages.
So it is our desire that youreceive it with the intention
with which it is given.
And if it does not resonate,then that is okay as well.
It is about choosing your truth.
It is about feeling into anyinformation that you receive

(09:48):
where whether it is through thisformat, this forum.
Or in any other way, it is yourdiscernment.
It is your ability to choose andto take from this, that which is
in your highest good, and onlythe individual can determine
that there is always acollective response to anything,

(10:10):
and there is also an individualresponse, and we leave that with
you.
Our desire is to bring throughuplifting messages that help you
to move with grace through eachand every day, and we know
through Lisa's intention thatshe has her own desire to want

(10:31):
to help and uplift humanity.
And that is the offering that wecan give to you at this time,
and it is our pleasure and ourdelight to share, to support,
and to empower you each andevery day as you move through
this unique and beautiful,enriching experience.

(10:51):
We are Anya and we are completefor today.
Namaste.

Lisa Brandis (10:58):

unseen corner of your own heart.
