(01:53):
here, and I'm so excited thatyou have joined me today.
One of my most downloadedepisodes so far was all about
developing your intuition, and Iwasn't surprised.
So many of you are feeling thepull to trust yourself more
deeply and to reconnect withthat quiet inner knowing.
(02:15):
But I also know that once you'vebegun that journey, a question
naturally arises.
What's next?
Where does your intuition leadonce you really start tuning in
and listening to it?
And that's exactly what we areexploring today.
So intuition is just thebeginning.
(02:35):
It really is the first step.
It helps you to make clearerdecisions, to hear your truth
and reconnect with your innerwisdom.
It's often described as a gutfeeling or a knowing that comes
without logic.
It's deeply personal andincredibly powerful.
(02:56):
But here's something that mightsurprise you.
Intuition is just the doorway.
What's on the other side.
A whole new conversation withyour soul, your spirit guides,
and yes, even with spirititself.
Now, let's talk aboutchanneling.
(03:16):
I know the word can feel alittle out there for some
people.
Also a term you've never evenheard before.
Uh, like it's something onlypsychics or mediums do.
But the truth is channeling issimply deep listening.
It's receiving messages from ahigher source.
(03:37):
Your higher self spirit guidesall the energy of the divine.
We all have the ability to doit.
And it's not just reserved forthe gifted few.
If intuition is your innerwhisper, then think of
channeling, like hearing thewhisper of the spirit refined
through love and clarity.
In hypnotherapy, they might callit accessing the super
(04:00):
conscious.
Different words, but in myexperience, it's the same.
And yes, at first it can feellike you're making it all up.
That's totally normal.
I used to think that too.
But the more you get to trust,the clearer it gets.
So let me share a moment withyou.
One that changed everything.
Years ago, while I was workingat a healing center, I was also
(04:24):
learning psychic development,and one day a woman came in for
reading.
She was very nervous.
She had booked in with one ofour professional mediums and
wasn't too sure.
What to expect.
While we were chatting beforeher appointment, she asked me
what actually happens in areading, so I explained it to
her.
I said, we tune into yourenergy.
(04:44):
Sometimes we might use angelcards to open up a connection,
or we might have a chat atfirst, and then the medium
starts to receive images orimpressions usually from the
spirit world.
As I said those words, I saw animage pop into my mind of a man
walking down a street, holding abag of oranges, and as he was
(05:05):
walking in this little vision Igot, I saw the bag split open
and all the oranges just rolleddown the street, she suddenly
burst into tears with a bigsmile on her face, and she told
me that that was the exact scenethat had happened with her
father before he had passedaway.
She said he absolutely lovedoranges, and she said she'd been
(05:27):
with him when the bag had brokenand the oranges rolled down the
street.
She had asked him for a signbefore he'd passed away, and she
just said that it validated.
She got the sign and she lookedat me and said, I don't even
think I need to see the mediumanymore.
And that was a message that Icame for.
In that moment, I reallyrealized something powerful.
It wasn't just my imagination,it was real and it mattered.
(05:55):
If you are wondering whether youcould have a channel, I invite
you to try this gentle exercise.
So let's begin.
Take a deep breath.
Close your eyes if it's safe todo so and place a hand on your
heart.
Now.
Ask yourself, what do I need tohear today?
(06:18):
And just let the answer comefrom within from your intuition,
and then ask, what would myhigher self or spirit team like
me to know today?
And just notice what'sdifferent.
If you can come back to thisepisode later and give yourself
(06:39):
time to, uh, really settle downwith a notebook and a pen and
just write both the answersdown, and you'll begin to feel
the shift.
It's subtle, but it's very real.
This is how channeling begins.
If this.
Episode resonated with you andyou are ready to deep dive into
(07:03):
trusting your intuition.
