Have your spiritual readings been feeling off lately? You're not navigating these foggy waters alone. The metaphysical community is collectively experiencing a profound shift in how clearly we can connect with Spirit, and there's a very good reason for it.

The current energetic landscape resembles dense pea soup—difficult to see through and challenging to navigate. This phenomenon stems from two primary sources colliding: our personal energetic states and the chaotic collective energy field we're all immersed in. Many of us are processing deep personal transformations and traumas, intensified by Saturn's transition into Aries, which brings powerful unearthing energy. Meanwhile, the polarized state of world affairs has created extreme vibrations in our collective field—energetic tsunamis alongside draining oceans—making it nearly impossible to maintain steady connections during readings.

When attempting to connect with departed loved ones or spirit guides, practitioners are finding it difficult to maintain specific vibrations and intentions. Evidence comes through as more generic or fuzzy, and the source of messages becomes unclear. However, there's comfort in knowing that Spirit remains adaptable. They'll find valleys through the fog, taking the path of least resistance to deliver what you need, even if it arrives differently than expected.

For those struggling with this energetic challenge, four powerful strategies can help: reschedule when truly necessary; communicate honestly with clients about current conditions; amplify your grounding and clearing practices before readings; and intentionally step outside the collective energy field to connect more directly with divine light. The oracle cards "Emotional Desert" and "Goddess of Dreams" remind us that while we may be experiencing a period of inactivity and isolation, this is actually the perfect time to develop our intuition and plan for the future.

Connect with other metaphysical practitioners to validate your experience, implement these strategies, and remember—this challenging period offers valuable opportunities for growth if we're willing to adapt our approach. What spiritual communication difficulties have you been experiencing lately? Share your experiences and join our community of practitioners supporting each other through these energetically turbulent times.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi there, welcome back to Empower your Soul.
I am here today to talk aboutthe wonky energy that you might
be experiencing in your readingsand or as somebody who is
receiving a reading.
Now, this is not an outdatedpodcast episode.
I am recording it Thursdaybefore this is being released on
Friday, and I thought it wasreally important to talk about

(00:23):
because I know I'm not the onlyone experiencing this really
wonky energy.
That is definitely thetechnical term, by the way,
because what I have found, bothfor myself as well as my
students, my amazing women sofar if you're a man you want to
join, I want you there too butmy amazing women in the
mediumship mastermind and whatI've experienced as well as them

(00:46):
, is that when we are trying toset the intention to collect, to
connect to departed loved ones,for example, we're getting
spirit guides in with thisreading.
When we're setting theintention to connect with spirit
guides, maybe we're getting alittle bit of Akashic in there
and or other departed loved onesin there.
So we're just finding thatmaintaining the vibration and

(01:09):
intention of the readings hasbeen very difficult to do and we
don't always know where themessages or evidence are coming
from, which is frustrating ashell.
It is so freaking, frustratingeverybody and you're like what
is going on, freakingfrustrating everybody, and
you're like what is going on.
In addition, when you arereceiving those messages or
those evidence, that evidencelet me use the right tense of

(01:31):
word we're finding, and I'mfinding that the evidence tends
to be a little more generic,it's a little more general.
It might be fuzzy.
Coming in, it might not feel asgood.
Coming in, it might not feel assolid or as deep as it used to,
which is also reallyfrustrating.
And so a lot of the times, wetend to look at ourselves and

(01:58):
wonder what's going on.
Is it just me?
I mean, I'm.
I have so many friends, as youcan imagine, in the metaphysical
space that when they have ashitty reading, they reach out
and be like what's with theenergy today?
What's with the energy today?
And you know, sometimes I'llrespond hey, yeah, it's really
off.
Or hey, I'm not sure mine's,mine's okay today.
What's going on?
So we tend to like want toreach out and be in.

(02:22):
It's normal for us to want toreach out and get validation on
what is.
What are other peopleexperiencing with the energy
that's going on?
And I'm here today to tell youif you are having wonky energy
readings, you are not alone.
This is a collective problem.
This is not a you problem.
So let's talk about what's goingon, and I had to channel my
guides and ask them questions tohelp me understand

(02:43):
energetically why this ishappening to many different
people at the same time.
They identified it was one oftwo reasons and probably both of
these reasons at the same time.
So it all breaks down to yourindividual energy as well as
your collective energy, and it'skind of like the molding of the

(03:05):
two that are causing a lot ofthis frustration, chaos,
unpredictability energeticallywith our readings.
So let's start with our energyfirst, because, as I asked my
team, what's up with personalenergy at this very confusing,
chaotic energy time right now?
Now they identified thatthere's a lot of people going

(03:28):
through and processing personaltraumas and, as I'm saying this
out loud right now, they'redownloading more information
into my head and they'reidentifying like look at what's
going on with astrology rightnow, like I believe that saturn
has now transitioned into Aries.
I need to learn my astrologyeverybody.
I am an Aries rising in moon,so that is going to hit me

(03:51):
really hard because the Saturnis all about the uncovering, the
unearthing, the moving throughlike moving through trauma,
creating new.
Those of you that do astrology,you can butcher me on this, you
could run circles around meright now, but there's a lot of
uncovering and a lot of personalgrowth and personal
transformations going on rightnow, energetically,

(04:11):
astrologically, etc.
Right now.
So not only are, like literally, the planets and the moon
aligned with a lot of change andchurn energetically for us, but
also I'm going to say it withthe state of the world.
Right now you might not be inyour best place mentally, you
might be freaking out.
I don't know.

(04:31):
If you are not freaking outwith the state of the world,
what are you on?
Can you send some my way?
That would be fantastic.
But for the rest of us that aretrying to not what's the right
word For the rest of us that arekind of just trying to survive
the day-to-day, that day-to-daysurvival can wreak havoc on your

(04:54):
own energy.
So if you're not taking care ofyou and your energy and making
sure you're grounded and clearevery single day, that can
really be impacted by the energythat's all around you.
So number one is your energy.
If you're not clear and in yourbest energetic self.
That's going to make you moresusceptible to the external
influences that are going onenergetically.

(05:16):
So let's talk about thoseexternal energetic influences
right now, which is a lot ofwhat I just alluded to.
But there's a lot going on inthe world right now of what I
just alluded to.
But there's a lot going on inthe world right now, again,
astrologically, but alsopolitically, economically,
socially.
There's a lot going on rightnow and a lot of what's going on
tends to be more extremevibrations of energy.

(05:39):
People are either ecstatic orpeople are depressed.
Right, there's really not a lotof people in between.
I'm going to say heightened andlowering.
It's like a wave.
Right, it's like we're getting,they're draining the ocean and
also they're having tsunamis atthe same time right now.
That's really like the extremedepiction of the energy that's

(06:03):
going on right now.
It's very extreme in one way orthe other.
There's not a lot in between.
So, as a result of this veryextreme intense energy, it's
very unstable.
The energy is very chaotic allaround us as a member of this
collective energy.
And so if you are somebody whois either totally involved in

(06:23):
understanding and watchingeverything that's going on
energetically and or somebodywho's just trying to plug in
once or twice a day to make surethe world isn't going to
collapse.
Either way, you're tapped intothat collective energy and,
again, if you aren't protectingyour own energy, you're going to
be influenced by the chaos thatis contributing to the

(06:47):
collective energy all around you.
So that's why I said it's acombination of your personal
energy as well as the collectiveenergy and likely the overlap
between the two that's causing alot of chaos that's going
around Now again, and I'm goingto give you some strategies on
how to address this.
I have four that they calledout for me.

(07:09):
But the impact of all of thisswirling personal and collective
energy is that it is muchharder to read.
So it's trying to read energyand it's like pea soup or like,
right, cloudy with a chance ofmeatballs.

(07:31):
Remember that book?
Right, you would have to likewalk through the pea soup.
Is that the book that I'mthinking about?
But essentially, we're trying toread through really, really
dense fog right now.
If we had to put a picture toit.
So us trying to figure out whatis this big picture?
What are the specifics?
It's really hard to do in fog,right?
You can't see more than twoinches in front of you, and
that's the reality of thereadings right now is that you

(07:52):
can't really see more than twoinches in front of you.
You might not know where themessage is coming from through
the fog.
You might not be able to knowthe direction of travel through
the fog.
You might not have thespecifics of what does that
house look like through the fog.
And that's essentially what'shappening energetically with our
readings.
But what is so cool aboutworking with this fog is spirit

(08:14):
is still all knowing.
Spirit is still incrediblyknowledgeable and versatile and
making sure that, even if it'snot our best day for reading,
they can still get the messagedelivered.
So they are going to take theenergy and flow the easiest way
through this fog in order foryou to be able to deliver what
you need to deliver for yourclients today or for you, as a

(08:36):
sitter, receive.
They're going to deliver whatyou need to be, what you need to
receive, in the easiest waypossible.
So they're going to deliverwhat what you need to be, what
you need to receive in theeasiest way possible.
So they're going to kind oftake it and they're going to go
through the valleys and they'regoing to figure out what's the
easiest way to flow thisinformation and it's still going
to be a meaningful message.
So I I think that's the, and thebottom line is that, like,
don't worry too much, you're notdoing anything wrong.

(08:59):
Spirit's going to work doublehard to try to get it through to
you.
Um, it's just going to feel alittle bit off and look a little
bit different, but just go withthe flow.
It's essentially kind of whatthey told me, because when the
energy is this chaotic,something has to break and you
have to trust that spirit'sgoing to be able to bring that

(09:20):
evidence through or bring thatmessage through in the best way
possible.
But let's talk about some otherstrategies that you can use to
hopefully get this a littleclearer and better for you.
So actually, the first two arenot that, but let's talk about
it.
So the first thing you can do is, if you truly feel off, if you

(09:43):
truly don't feel like you canget a good reading today, I mean
, the best thing to do let's behonest with all of you is to
reschedule your client and or,if you're a client that's having
a really, really off day,reschedule with your reader.
That's OK If we're paying moneyand there's an exchange of
money, there needs to be anequal exchange of energy and if
you cannot equally exchange thatenergy for that money, you

(10:03):
should be rescheduling thereading period.
I know personally, I have a norefunds clause on my website.
But if someone reaches out tome and says, hey, I really want
to reschedule this, I'm nothaving my best day, or I'm not
having my best day, I'm going toreach out and reschedule with
you and that's like, ethically,what we should be doing as
mediums and sitters for thesereadings.

(10:24):
So number one is reschedulethat bad boy, okay.
Number two is if you're feelinggood, but maybe not as confident
as the reader, so if it's apretty good, energetic day, you
think you can proceed with thereading, but you're still not
sure because it's been reallyinconsistent lately, just say
that with the sitter, and theintention is not to give a cop

(10:48):
out, but it is to be honest andsaying hey, this is what the
readings have been like lately.
This is well known in themetaphysical industry that the
energy has been really thick anddifficult.
Oh my God, I have.
Oh my God, I have an ant that'scrawling on me.
I just, if you were on my video, you would have seen.
I just jumped a mile.
Can someone look up ant spiritguide for me?

(11:10):
Oh, my God.
Oh, you can't make this shit up.
No more eating in the office.
Apparently it is officially antseason, so just like that,

(11:33):
they'll surprise you everybody.
So I would say, if you arehaving a pretty good, energetic
day, but you're not sure, justtell the setter.
Just be like, hey, it mightcome in a little bit differently
today.
Are you willing to work alittle bit more with me today?
Just let me know if somethingdoesn't land.
And if at some point during thereading again you don't feel
like your best self, you canalways, you know, refund or
reschedule, and that's okay too.
So just let the sitter know.
And honestly, I find personallythat when I let the sitter know

(11:56):
that, hey, things have beenjust been coming in a little bit
differently and let me know ifsomething doesn't resonate with
you because my team's workingwith me differently or the
energy is a little bitdifferently today, for me to say
that out loud, that's not mycop out, that actually allows me
to.
I'm going to say it like relaxmy ego a little bit and let the
sitter know right off the bat,so that I just let the

(12:18):
information flow through.
It kind of gives me a sigh ofrelief and makes me feel a
little more comfortable.
Personally, about the reading,again, I don't know how the
sitter feels about that, but Ican tell you it allows me to
read a little bit better.
Again, I don't know how thesitter feels about that, but I
can tell you it allows me toread a little bit better.
So if that resonates with you,give that a try.
See how that goes.
Number three I would say, asyou've probably already figured
out by now, you should work onyour own energy before reading.

(12:43):
So, as I mentioned, it's twofailure points right now it's
your energy as well as thecollective energy.
So what you should do is workon your energy.
So what does that look like?
I think it means that we haveto try a little bit harder to
make sure our energy is as clearas possible for these readings.
So what that looks like ismaybe doing some morning

(13:07):
routines, some morningmeditation to clear your energy,
making sure that before you sitdown with a sitter, you are
grounding your energy, you areclearing your energy.
Maybe you're sitting in theAkashic records or maybe, again,
you're sitting in meditation.
They're sitting in the powerbefore you get into your reading
, maybe a little bit more thanyou used to.
So by clearing your own energyand creating your best possible

(13:32):
vessel to be a conduit forspirit, you are going to set
yourself up for the most successpossible at times where this
energy gets really wonky.
So again, grounding, clearing,centering, you can protect as
well.
You can put you and you andyour center in this energetic
bubble to try to like push outagain the collective energy,

(13:54):
which is where I'll go to in aminute.
But you can protect your energyas well so that during the
readings you're not getting astied up in, maybe the
interference of the energy andthe frequencies that are going
on.
And then number four, and thisis a different one, and I've
done this a couple times whereI've needed to in a reading, but
this bear with me because Idon't think this is listed

(14:16):
anywhere.
I don't know if anyone actuallytalks about this.
So this is like your secretNicole, private tip, which I'm
going to start giving more ofthose, because the way that I
look at things if you haven'tfigured this out by now is very
different than most mediums andthe way that my team explains
things to me tends to be verydifferent than most mediums, but
the way that my team kind ofshows this to me is that most of

(14:40):
us are in this collectiveenergy tower.
So has anyone seen the firetowers where the firefighters
practice going up like?
And they have like a tower,like a three story tower in the
middle of a parking lot thatthey'll light on fire, the
firefighters and they'll use itto like practice going up up
through three stories throughlike really thick, dense smoke,

(15:04):
like that's how they show me thecollective energy is and so
it's not.
Sorry I'm pausing for a secondbecause I realized how
ridiculous this sounds.
So essentially, the collectiveenergy is like you are in that
tower as the firefighter tryingto fight through all this fog,
all of this really thick smoke,but that's the collective energy

(15:26):
.
So you can actually choose tostep outside and not be in that
collective energy.
So this is kind of your fourthmethod to dealing with this
chaotic energy right now is youcan actually step outside the
collective energy and step moredirectly into the light of God,
the light of the angels, thelight of the ascended masters,

(15:48):
your loved ones, in the light ofheaven, and really just like
physically remove yourself fromthe collective and step more
into the spirit world than maybewe used to before.
So what does that mean?
What does that look like?
Is that you can literally setthe intention to step outside
the collective energy, literallylike, take the collective

(16:08):
energy, push it to the side ofyou and not be in that energy?
Maybe that means that if youknow that you're in a physical
space that's a little heavier inthat collective energy.
Maybe you're in the middle ofthe city, I don't know.
Maybe you are like in a spacewhere a lot of people talk about
what's going on politically,maybe you practice there.
Maybe that means like you goand drive somewhere and practice

(16:31):
somewhere else.
Maybe you go to a differentphysical space that feels
lighter and energy so thatyou're not sitting in that that
really thick energy.
Maybe that means that you clearyour space energetically.
It's not just you Now.
You're clearing your space,you're saging your space, you're
setting intentions withcrystals or incense etc.
To clear your space before youdo the reading, and so that's

(16:56):
kind of what I mean.
It's not just you, it's alsoyour space and stepping outside
of that collective energy.
Don't go in that fire tower,stay outside of it for your
reading.
So again, either throughintention or by literally
changing your space, which isreally funny.
And now two and two go together, because I had a reading, I had

(17:20):
a mentoring session thismorning and the card was
literally and I don't have itotherwise I would read it was
literally like go and journey,go outside, like be outside.
So if you have the chance toread outside or read in a
different space, give it a tryand see what difference it makes
on your readings.

(17:40):
So those are kind of the fourtips that I have for you in
terms of how to deal with thisenergy.
I just want you to know thatyou're not alone.
You're not alone if yourreadings seem, seem weird, seem
off, seem wonky.
And when they do seem weird andoften wonky, it's really good
to check in with othermetaphysical practitioners Maybe

(18:01):
I can pronounce that rightMetaphysical practitioners and
see if they're experiencing thesame thing.
And I think that's the mostwonderful thing about the
Managership Mastermind is thatwe can use our Voxer group chat
and we can check in with eachother and say, hey, how's it
going today?
What's going on today?
Is your, are your readings Okayor is it?
Is it a me problem or is it acollective problem?

(18:22):
So that allows us to reallytake a look at what's going on a
little more objectively, Ithink, because I can't pronounce
words, I think I'm almost donehere.
It's, it's, I don't know.
Maybe I need to channeldifferently.
Anyway, so there you go.
And then I also had spirit pulltwo cards for me before I go

(18:45):
today and I'm pulling this fromthe energy and spirit Oracle by
Sandra and Taylor and they hadme pick two different cards
today, and the first one isnumber 11.
This is emotional desert.
The words on here areinactivity and isolation.
So I just want to let you knowif you are going through an

(19:06):
emotional desert right now,you're not alone.
And if you're self-isolatingagain with what I've talked
about today, I'm not surprised.
You're not alone.
But also, this isn't the timeto snooze, because the next card
is number 25, goddess of dreams, and it says vision, intuition,
receptivity, and so it's okaythat you're going inward, that

(19:29):
that things seem dry and slowRight now, that's okay, but it
doesn't mean that you're it'stime to stop or rest, because
what this is telling me is,while there's a lot of chaos
going on right now, there's alot of churn, there's a lot of
personal development on rightnow.
This is the time to work onyourself, work on your vision,
work on your mission and reallystrategize so that when the ball

(19:51):
starts moving again, whenyou're out of that emotional
desert and you start going intothe mirage of the jungle in the
middle of the desert, right Onceyou start seeing land and
beauty and greenery and water,you have to be ready for it.
You don't want to startplanning when things get better.
You plan when things are badand slow and dry so that when

(20:15):
things go, start moving andchurning and chugging along, you
can reap the rewards of that.
So I just want to reflect thatback to you that just because it
might be slow or hermit mode,it is not time for you to rest.
It is time for you to startplanning and strategizing so you
can reap the rewards later on.
And that is your card poll ofthe day.

(20:35):
I hope this episode was reallyhelpful.
Stay tuned.
I have some ideas for June.
I'm just going to say staytuned.
I think I'm going to do a monththeme for June, but I need to
sit with my team and ask themwhat they want me to talk about.
I would love to get into moretheme based topics, get more
education, get more learningteaching out there.
And also I love these cards atthe end, because I'm also going

(21:01):
through an emotional desertright now.
I'm also going through a ton ofinternal dialogue work, clearing
out more shadows, more darknights of the soul, clearing out
patterns that I thought werepersonality, but they are not in
fact personality.
They are epigenetics and thingsthat I was taking on to survive
.
So I think I'm going to talk alittle bit about that in June

(21:22):
too, so stay tuned.
But I just want to thank youall for being here.
I hope you're having a lovelymonth of May, and summer is
coming for those of us in theNorthern Hemisphere and winter
is coming for those of you inthe lower hemisphere, in the
southern hemisphere.
But I just want to thank youall for being here.
I hope you have a wonderful,wonderful Friday weekend and,

(21:44):
from my soul to yours, have themost wonderful day.
Take care.
