The Secret to Stronger Spirit Connections

Forget everything you've been told about improving your connection with spirit. That restrictive list of "shoulds" isn't just exhausting—it might actually be lowering your vibration and blocking the very connection you're trying to strengthen.

During this unplanned car channeling session (complete with blinker sounds and a surprise visit from a pot-smoking departed loved one), I dive into the counterintuitive truth about enhancing your mediumship: having fun is your spiritual superpower. When your vibration rises through genuine joy—whether that's blasting music with the windows down, spending time in nature, or enjoying a margarita with friends—you naturally align with spirit's high frequency. This summer is the perfect opportunity to experiment with pleasure as your pathway to stronger spiritual connection.

I share how my own recent weekend in the woods led to "fucking amazing" readings despite breaking all the hydration rules, and why I prep for sessions with rap music instead of meditation. The secret? Finding what works for YOU rather than following someone else's spiritual formula. Your unique path to connection is what makes you an effective medium in your own right.

The signs from your loved ones are always there. The synchronicities are happening constantly. When you're truly enjoying your life, you become a clear channel to receive them all. So put down the spiritual rule book, embrace what genuinely lights you up, and watch your connection with spirit transform. What high-vibe activity will you choose today to strengthen your spiritual connection?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Hello everyone, welcome back to Empower your
Soul podcast.
I am here in my car withanother channeled car session
today, so thank you in advancefor not minding all of the road
noise.
I am a New Englander that usesher signal.
I'm sorry you might hear thatin the background my Blinka, my
Blinka, everybody.

(00:21):
And so I wanted to take thismoment today to really talk
about.
Oh, I was.
I've been trying to record thisa couple times and I know that
this is not the direction I'msupposed to go in, because if I
hit record PSA for all of you ifI hit record and I try to
record it three or four timesand I just turn into a garbled
mess, I know this isn't what I'msupposed to talk about.
So I'm going to shift the topica little bit.

(00:43):
So where I was trying to comefrom is I was going to try to
answer the question that hasbeen out there on my Instagram
stories answers or questions fora while now about how to
improve your connection withspirit, and I think I could go
very quickly down the rabbithole, because there's many
different ways that I can talkabout the connection with spirit
, because it's all energy.

(01:04):
It's all about learning thelanguage of energy, which is
essentially the language ofpsychics and mediums, and
Akashic Records and spiritguides, and I could go down that
rabbit hole and I could go.
I know you're like, please do,I will eventually, I promise.
And I could go down the rabbithole of troubleshooting
different things that could gowrong.
But as I'm kind of starting torecord this episode, I feel a

(01:28):
departed loved one of minecoming in.
How do I know that?
Because I can smell the pot.
That's right.
I come from a very fun family.
I am not that fun, I'm sorry,but I as if you couldn't tell so
I can smell the pot.
So whenever I smell pot, I knowthis loved one's coming in
today.
So I'm smelling the pot and Iknow that he's here today.
So I wanted to use him today totalk about what I'm supposed to

(01:51):
talk about, which is essentiallyhow and why I'm sorry for
anyone that's in the SouthernHemisphere why you should be
using summer to your advantagehere in the Northern Hemisphere,
okay, because, well, I guessany anywhere, no matter where,
you are using summer to youradvantage, because right now it
is the middle of summer, is July, the weather is warm, it's

(02:13):
gorgeous, it's beautiful.
Here in new England, we got avery short summer and so, as I'm
kind of reading this energy inthis question about how do I
improve my connection withspirit, I need to talk about why
it's important to live yourlife and have fun and how this
relates to your mediumship.
Yep, it's true.

(02:34):
How does this relate to yourconnection with spirit?
Because I think this is thenumber one problem, which is why
they're really having me honereally deep on this topic in
particular, because most of thepeople who have trouble with
spirit, especially like rightnow in the middle of this
gorgeous weather, it's becauseyou are overworking yourself, it

(02:55):
is because you are burnt out,you're tired, you're not eating
well, you're not sleeping well,you're not drinking enough water
right, all of these areconducive to you being a clearer
channel for spirit.
But instead of going down this,wagging my finger at you for
not drinking enough water and Ishould be wagging that at myself
instead I want to talk aboutthe ways that you can positively

(03:18):
impact your connection withspirit by having fun, by
enjoying yourself, by having thetime of your life.
Because, yeah, we can reallyfocus on these little things
like meditating more andconnecting with spirit more, but
the reality is that spirit ishigh, vibe Okay, and so when I'm

(03:39):
telling you to drink more water, how does that make you feel,
right?
When I'm telling you to eatyour fruits and vegetables and
get sleep, how does that makeyou feel Like it sounds good,
but how does that make you feel?
Because, to me, when I say thatout loud, it makes me feel like
I don't want to give up mydonuts, right?
I don't want to go to bed earlybecause my best work is done

(04:00):
late at night, once the house isquiet, right, and so like for
me, when I say that to myself, Ifeel really constricted in my
energy.
I feel really like ugh, thatdoesn't feel good.
And what happens to yourvibration when you're doing
things that you don't like ordon't feel good?
It's a really simple answerbecause you're feeling it right
now in your body.
It doesn't feel good.
It lowers your vibration.
And so, instead of me beratingyou on all the things you should

(04:25):
be doing and the shoulds arethe shits, right, the shoulds
come from ego, right, it comesfrom judgment of other people's
expectations Instead of shootingyou, I'm going to tell you to
go have fun, to improve yourconnection with spirit.
Go to the beach.
Go, honest to God, go have thatmargarita, right Like.

(04:46):
Go have the best time.
Go out with friends.
Go to dinner.
Go take a walk by the park, gohike in nature, right, go do
things that make you fuckinghappy to be here on planet Earth
, in this physical world,because when you do things that

(05:08):
bring you joy and passion, thatreflects in your vibrational
energy, that raises yourvibration and spirit is high
vibes.
So when you raise yourvibration, you naturally are
going to be better and morewell-connected with spirit.
So case in point is I'm justcoming off of a weekend seeing
Suzanne Geisman right nowThat'll be another podcast

(05:30):
episode and my connection allweekend was fucking amazing.
Why?
Because I was in the middle ofthe woods hanging out with a
student of mine, meeting allthese new people doing all these
readings, surrounded by peoplethat love mediumship, and it was
fucking awesome, like it wasfantastic.
Did I drink enough water?

(05:50):
No, sure as fuck didn't, butwhat I did do was surround
myself with people and thingsthat made me happy and my
connection was off the charts,right.
And so when we're talking abouthow can you improve your
connection with spirit, thesimplest, fastest way is to do
things that make you happy Singthe loud music right, toss the

(06:13):
stereo on full blast, drive withyour windows down right, get a
kayak, go kayaking right, like.
Do things that just bring youhappiness and joy and feeling
more in alignment with who youare.
And the more that you do thingsthat are in alignment with you,
the higher your vibrationraises, the more likely that you
are going to be having a betterconnection with spirit.

(06:34):
So how does this show up inyour day to day, right?
So when you're high vibe andyou're digging life and you're
having the time of your life,you're going to see more signs
from your loved ones.
You're going to be more open toseeing signs and
synchronicities.
You're going to be more open tonoticing the song on the radio
that reminds you of yourdeparted loved one.

(06:56):
You're going to start seeingthings like clouds in the sky
that have certain shapes thatcould be a sign for you from
your spirit guides.
You're just more open and moreapt to see and acknowledge the
magic that exists everywherethat's around you, because when

(07:18):
you're more in line with spirit,you're more likely to see the
magic too.
Yep, I mean.
It's really honestly thatsimple.
I mean I could end the podcasthere, but I'll probably give a
couple more examples before Iend it.
So how does this actually showup in your mediumship?
Right, that's great, nicole,I'm high vibe, I'm having a
great time, I'm seeing the signs.

(07:39):
But when I get to my mediumshipreading assumption and I'm
going to tell you, it's the sameexact thing.
So a lot of people say tomeditate, for example, before
they're doing readings, whetherit's doing meditation,
connecting with their departedloved ones, right, a lot of
people really go and sit in thepower God, if I had a dime for

(07:59):
every time I heard that term.
Sit in the power of spirit,connect with spirit before
reading to get your energy ready.
You know, when I say that, Isay fuck that.
Do you know why?
I think it's very useful for alot of people, but for me,
sitting in the power andmeditating brings my energy and
vibration down.
Yeah, it gets me into thatalternative brain state, which

(08:21):
is great, but it does it at thedetriment of my frequency,
because I don't like meditating,I don't like sitting still.
So, yes, you need to get yourbrain into that altered state,
but you can do that high vibebecause you can listen to really
loud rap music like I do right.

(08:43):
You can go and put your handsin the garden, like some of my
students do.
You can do all of these amazingthings that feel right for you
and bring your energy up andthen very quickly ask your brain
or ask your team to put yourbrain in an altered state so
that you can do your readings.

(09:04):
And so I think this is whatmakes me a different teacher,
and those of you that are mystudents I know you're nodding
to this is because I don't thinkthere's one way to do any of
this work.
I think that every way you dothis work is right, as long as
you come at it with integrityand you come at it with your

(09:25):
best and highest expectations.
Look at this.
Heaven's calling everybody.
Don't worry, it's just spam,one of the flaws, I guess, of
being in the car ride.
Did you just look at your phoneand think someone rang?
You're welcome.
That was a little prank from mybuddy over here.
I knew that he would show upone way or another.
I don't even know where I was.

(09:47):
Yeah, no, I don't remember.
Oh, yeah, sorry, nope, they'rejust reminding me.
So I don't think there's oneright way to do this stuff.
So you need to figure out what'sthe best way that makes you
feel the best with this work,what raises your vibration the
best?
And experiment, try it out.
Maybe it is meditation, maybeit is sitting in the power,
maybe it is listening to loudrap music before a reading,

(10:10):
maybe it is, you know, dancingbefore a reading, painting
before a reading.
Whatever works for you, honorthat, and I think this is the
number one thing, that there'sso many phrases I want to say
that like charges me up, thatirritates me, that bugs me to no
end, is students that come tome coming from another teacher

(10:33):
and they're like I'm gettingnervous, I'm not doing what I
should be doing with this work.
I'm getting nervous that Ishould be moving really fast
through evidence because that'swhat my teacher said, so that my
brain doesn't think about it.
There's no should in mediumship.
There's no should, and so do itthe way that makes best sense

(10:57):
for you.
And this relates directly backto your connection with spirit,
because I bet you, I bet youthat you are Googling the shit
out of this saying how do Iimprove my connection with
spirit?
And everything that you'reseeing and trying doesn't work,
because you need to find the waythat works best for you to

(11:18):
improve your vibration andconnect with spirit, and no one
can tell you that.
I can tell you what works formost people, but you are the one
who has to test that out andsay does this work or not?
And it's so freakingfrustrating when you try these
things and it doesn't work right.
It feels so upsetting becauseyou think that there's something
that you're doing wrong becauseit works for everyone else but

(11:40):
you.
But no one teaches you that youhave to do it your own way and
you have to honor your own way,and that's what makes every
single one of us mediumsabsolutely unique in our own
right and absolutely amazing inour own right, because we're
going to all do it our own wayand we're going to find the
people that resonate with us inthe best way possible.

(12:02):
So there you have it Carchanneling, session number two.
I hope this was helpful for you.
If you are one of those mediums,those people who asked about
your connection to spirit isjust look for the signs they're
all sending them.
I promise your connection isgreat.

(12:23):
You are not blocked.
You cannot be blocked.
You can only just be with yourhead in the sand because of
things that are going on, andthat's normal, because we are
here to experience the humanlife, and the human life is a
roller coaster and it has upsand downs, and some days the
connection is going to beamazing and some days the
connection is going to be shit,but you're never stuck in one

(12:45):
state or the other.
You're always kind ofoscillating between the two.
And then we add astrology ontop of that and I just don't
understand any of it.
So prayers to all of you.
I hear it's Mercury retrogradefor a while.
I don't know what that means.
Right, go kick some ass all youamazing mediums out there, and

(13:05):
I hope you all have a fuckingawesome day.
Take care.
