September 2022 Spirit Messages

I always start the spirit messages with the intention that the spirit world knows who will be tuning in and that I bring at least a phrase or message that resonates with each of those people. For September, the first word that came through was clarity. This ended up being a common thread throughout the whole episode. Themes of identity, awareness and connection will be strong for this month, but it all relies on us finding clarity in what we need to change, and what we desire for the rest of 2022. 

There are lots of exciting things happening in Spirit School in September! The Initiation, my 8 Week Mediumship Foundations Experience, starts on the 14th. To support the different ways adults learn, The Initiation includes self study, live classes, a community, and practice sessions! 

In the Spirit School Collective, we will be focusing on grief. Penny, one of my students, will be talking about end-of-life doula work and sharing about her practice. Alyssa Pressman, a certified grief counselor, will talk about holding space for grief. There will be time to explore case studies in this session as I feel it is important to understand how to implement this if we are working with the public in this vulnerable work.I will also be starting our new schedule with my Friday classes which will begin with a guided visualization, followed by practice exercises or Q&A sessions. These will offer a variety of experiences and I am excited for the new format!   

As always, our free Spirit School community is open and active, offering a space for you to connect with like-minded people in a supportive environment. I look forward to connecting with you!    .

In this episode:

• My intention is for  the world of spirit bring through messages for those who are drawn to listen
• The first insight is gaining clarity in September on how we spend our days
• We were blessed after the past few years to be busy following the next passion this summer
• September will be a time to slow down and find clarity on how to finish the year
• Clarity is not always easy and may include experiencing what we don’t like
• Through some turmoil, we may find we have been settling in some areas of life
• It’s more about clarity on what we desire than making future plans
• You may even feel the desire to move if where you are doesn’t resonate
• The Third Eye card echoes getting clarity on changes for the rest of the year
• Tune into how you feel and familiar patterns that you desire to change
• What were the circumstances the last time you felt how you desire to feel now?
• Lack of clarity may actually be clarity in itself
• The world and spirit are talking to you in every interaction, no matter how mundane
• For spiritual evolution, it is the uncomfortable situations that bring the most growth
• Reframe these as experiences gifted to us to find clarity
• September can be a new year when kids go back to school and new routines are created
• You can get clear on what brings you joy if you pay attention to the mundane
• Awareness is the second word for September
• Spirit is not asking us to take action, but to take stock of our desires
• There won’t be time to find clarity during the last 3 months of 2022
• We need to release the things we feel chained to out of devotion, especially work
• We are uncovering a deeper, holistic sense of identity outside of how we make money
• Some of this clarity will be around how we identify ourselves in the world
• There is an imbalance of overgiving in our lives
• Find clarity on what receiving is for you, whether that is quiet time or social time
• Social time may seem more taxing, but gathering in equal exchange is fulfilling
• Being forced online for so long has made us lose the depth of humanity in people
• The way people present themselves is not always their truest sense
• The world could use a lot more compassion, which comes from deep connection
• We need to release the story that connecting creates a deficit for us
• Fitting in is an illusion since we are each so vastly different
• Look for places you feel expanded and like yourself
• Document the clarity and joy you receive with pen and paper for when you forget
• We think experiences are not worth documenting if they aren’t for social media
• We used to fill journal pages with our stories before technology
• Even the mundane can be read with fondness later
• It's time to start living our lives for ourselves once more
• We can be powerful in many different areas of our lives
• When we get clear on our identity, deep harmonious friendships come in 
• Connecting to people may be more of a driving force than abundance
• If you feel uncomfortable with the slowness of September, look at that

Embracing Your Full Self with Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant

Embracing Your Full Self with Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant 

I am so excited to share Christian Bradley West, The Country Clairvoyant, with you today! I have been a long-time follower and fan of their memes. However, after having a “Clear Expressive Blocks” session, I knew I had to have them on Spirit School!

 

In this episode, we talk about embracing your authentic self, and different forms of expression. Christian is an artist and writer in addition to being an intuitive. Tactile art mediums like textiles, photography and sculpture have influenced their work. Memes are a way of incorporating poetry and art to remix existing content.

 

“When we gain the words of description, we also gain access to expression.” - Christian Bradley West

In this episode:

• Grief is a form of longing for something, whether it’s a person or a potential future
• Even with end-of-life doula training couldn’t prepare Danielle for experiencing grief
• Fear, shame and grief are the source of most negative emotions
• Having language that resonates for emotions and experiences is validating
• Christian shares that the term non-binary fit and being trans is part of that identity
• We are emotive beings, yet we learn to suppress instead of explore our emotions
• The vocabulary comes from curiosity, and we gain access to expression.
• Danielle says it’s her responsibility as a lightworker to educate herself on the spectrum of emotions
• Vibes, and positive vibes only, cannot be weaponized against negativity
• We have a complex language system as humans and should use it
• Communication is key to relationships, so just vibing doesn’t work
• Sometimes we need to feel it before we get the language for it
• Words are vital but if they're disconnected from emotion, they're just thoughts
• As intuitives, sometimes the trickiest part of connecting is expressing through emotion and thought
• Emotional intelligence was not talked about, so there are layers of deconditioning to go through
• Christian began writing, and found a balance of intuition and intellect in their thirties
• Their art showed a struggle with communicating who they were and what they wanted
• Christian had trauma from being called too much and not having a filter
• As a teen, they found essential oils and metaphysical modalities through a family friend
• They moved away from Christianity when those values clashed with holding a non-binary identity
• Christian is self taught in art and it was something to do quietly alone and to stay present
• Christian was drawn to fashion trends a couple years before they were trends
• As an earth sign, being able to touch things is important to their art practice
• A science degree and psychology classes also influence the action steps for clients in sessions
• You have to look at all the pieces of yourself and explore them
• The intuitive sessions are an opportunity to see what humans are struggling with
• People want to see the process, so “show your work”
• Even Buddha and Christ went through struggles in their humanity
• Danielle and Christian also want to change the bypassing of humanity within spiritual spaces
• Children aren’t born with fear, so they rely on parents for perspective and a safe environment
• Violence is part of the human experience, and we want to survive
• Shadow is about being integrated and loving the whole
• We all have impulses and physical needs, but sex is not as acceptable
• You can choose monogamy and the intimacy that that offers
• Christian believes in living on purpose in your choices
• Danielle says that people may not see this depth in the memes on Christian’s account
• Christian is good at remixing pieces together and chose to have a meme account 
• When you find your voice, people recognize and resonate with your work
• Memes can walk the line between the sacred and the profane
• A lot of spiritual labour goes into creating original content
• Christian refers to the high tide raising all boats and supporting one another
• If you're stealing just for stealing and you're not making your own, that's an issue
• Scottish culture was stolen by Britain during the Highland Clearances in the 1800s
• A trend like that would last 30 years at that time compared to memes today
• There is violence behind stealing from others without acknowledgement
• Christian is willing to be self-reflective and have conversations about appropriation
• Danielle says that accountability is the change we are striving for
• Christian is okay with triggering people if others feel unsafe, but not without reason
• Danielle’s favourite meme is “I became my full, authentic self when I realized I was cringe.”
• Christian has trauma from being silly and being called names when people were uncomfortable
• The process of making great art is messy
• Early abstract painters weren’t understood in their time and started with copying the masters
• We start out in life with what is right, then we deconstruct and it gets messy
• Danielle really feels that Christian embodies their term “spirit guide in a meat suit”
• Christian offers relationship readings and feels that we can make them more conscious
• All life is about duality and experiencing relationships

Creating Space for Your Development

I felt that creating space for development would be a fun topic to cover on the podcast. In my free Spirit School community, I posted the question, “For those that are focusing on development while parenting children and/or in full-time careers, what do you do to carve out time and space to commit to your development?” The responses were overwhelming. Over 40 people shared their experiences and advice. I love how engaged this community is already after 6 weeks!

 

Of course, like any other topic, I will share my own experiences with carving out time for development in this episode. If you would like to get in on the conversation, you are welcome to join the community! If you are interested in making time for mediumship development, registration is now open for The Initiation, my Mediumship Foundations Experience!

 

We have 8 billion people on this planet and every single one of them can benefit from mediumship, because every single person on this planet will lose someone someday. Mediumship is just one of those things that is for everybody, and everyone resonates with very different things.So, the world of spirit needs us all to be very different. I need you to be okay with how your soul is calling you to develop. And whether you get an hour a day or a minute a day, it will all unfold as it should. And you will end up exactly where you are meant to be. It's all just about what stories you have to share when you get there.

In this episode:

• I was blessed to have a year on maternity leave when I began my development 
• My husband has not always been supportive because he doesn’t understand this path
• My first teacher didn’t talk about Sitting in the Power and I didn’t develop through Spiritualism
• I would sit with spirit every day for 30 minutes on my bed while my daughter napped
• I have a busy mind, so the dedicated practices that are taught in mediumship didn’t work for me
• I would often ask my guide Skylar to show me signs of his presence
• Sometimes I would ask for things to be validated tomorrow and my accuracy improved over time
• My teacher was clairvoyant, so I was really trying to develop my own clairvoyance
• A friend once validated that a Spirit named Eddie I connected with was her missing uncle
• My relationship with my husband shifted because I started needing more alone time
• I have stopped expecting him to take an interest in personal development
• It was easy to stick to the 30 minutes with spirit because I had such profound experiences
• My mediumship development was limited to 5 hours a month with my teacher
• I wish I had been vulnerable to develop in the public eye like some of my peers
• I expected a stronger connection during my second pregnancy, but was very sick
• I had a near death experience in the ICU and doctors couldn’t agree on the cause
• I didn’t keep my consistent practice, but still attended retreats 
• When I had my son, my life changed and I opened my practice to the public
• The only spiritual practice I remember at that time was talking to my guides
• Showing up on social media started my personal development around being seen
• My development was immersing myself in spiritual content and doing readings
• I had one development Saturday and one day to rent a studio for readings a month
• A solution for the friction in my marriage was giving my husband time for his own hobby
• I went full-time in March 2020 with in-person clients booked and was in lockdown with my kids
• Out of 50 clients, only 2 asked for a refund for their sessions and I started online readings 
• Online influencers talked about consistent routines that were not accessible to me at all
• You will always be healing and evolving, but you are whole as you are right now
• How you choose to dedicate the time you have to development is enough
• The pandemic and working from home has given people more space to fit in development
• I consider everything I do in my business and online presence to be my spiritual development
• I still carve out time to sit and ask how I desire to connect with myself in this moment
• I want to be a teacher that shows you can thrive doing things differently

Tips from Spirit School members:

• Developing after kids go to bed, or nap time
• Blocking time into your calendar or schedule
• Including children in spiritual practices
• If you wake up often in the night, meditate in that brain state
• Ask your partner to give you time in the evening to connect
• Take a few minutes here and there to connect or meditate
• Turning your career into spiritual development
• I'm okay that I can't be consistent, and I know that spirit doesn't judge me

Releasing Discouraging Myths in Mediumship

For this episode, I will be talking about myths around mediumship. I wanted to premise this by saying that most of the myths actually came from my Instagram audience. Two weeks ago, I posted the question, "What are some of the myths around mediumship that maybe you once believed, or you still believe, that you just don't feel 100% sure about?" in my stories. 

 

Our experiences and the things we hear formulate our beliefs, but ultimately our beliefs are our choice. I first encountered mediumship by watching Sylvia Brown and John Edwards on TV at the age of 14. I read all of Sylvia Brown’s books in high school and I believed everything she wrote to be the truth without questioning it. There were things I read that scared me, but I wasn’t discerning and I realized through my own development that a lot of it simply wasn’t true.

 

I am not the holder of the ultimate truth about mediumship either, so I can only share from my lived experience. You may have a physical sensation or knowing when something feels like truth for you. If you’ve been following me for awhile, you know that I say to be flexible in your beliefs because they will likely shift as you experience more on your path.

In this episode:

• • It is hard for people to see the harm that can be caused if they wouldn’t be offended

• Q: You shouldn’t do readings until 6 months after someone passes

• • Spirit’s ability to communicate and the sitter’s grief are reasons given for why
  • That became less true as my confidence grew and I connected with people who recently passed
  • Unclear communication may actually be evidence of their communication in life
  • The quality of a reading is based on the three way link of spirit, the reader and the sitter
  • It will be a struggle if the sitter is skeptical and not an open channel for the link
  • Be open because there are multiple truths that can coexist in harmony at the same time

• Q: A common phrase is that all mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums

• • We tend to believe things blindly until we exposed other philosophies and experiences
  • I don’t believe that our Creator chooses who has abilities and who doesn’t
  • Q: Does everyone have the gift of mediumship? Yes!
  • I believe we are all born with gifts but not everyone develops these abilities
  • The fact that mediumship is even in your awareness is a sign from your soul 
  • I didn’t jump on the path the first few times it was brought to my awareness
  • Skeptical people like my husband could develop but that doesn’t mean they will
  • Q: Can you turn your abilities on and off? 
  • Yes, and there have only been a few times in 9 years that spirit has been pushy
  • I have a lot of boundaries but there are people who are constantly surrounded by spirit
  • There is permission granted, so I question what the motive is other than being showy

• Q: Thoughts on psychic residue versus haunted location

• • Though I was a paranormal investigator, I am undecided on my beliefs about earthbound spirits
  • We validated evidence the medium received, but we didn’t get any paranormal evidence 
  • I’ve been able to feel the energy of a place, like the previous owner of a home who had passed
  • It wasn’t her stuck there because it was an intelligent, two-way conversation
  • Aboriginal Medium Sean Leonard, who I highly regard, has EVP evidence and I trust him

• Q: My dad believes it's just tricks from the devil

• • Ask how you feel about a belief and if it improves your quality of life.
  • We can’t change someone’s beliefs for them

• Q: I don’t anymore, but i always believed that mediums identified as spiritual

• • There is a spectrum of how much of a priority it is and there is a client for everyone

• Q:  You need to study, practice for years to actually connect with spirit, unless born with it

• • I believed that you have to pay your dues
  • The time it took for me to step into the public had nothing to do with my connection to the divine
  • A large part of our development is healing our human and building confidence

• Q: I don't have a loved one I'm trying to connect with so mediumship isn't for me.

• There is always someone we can connect to from our lineage
• Mediumship is evidential by nature, and can be difficult if the sitter can’t validate
• We can bring through what is current in their life, though this could come through psychic too
• The need in mediumship is part of the magic of the three way link (Spirit, sitter, reader)
• Registration for The Initiation opens August 13 if you are curious and interested in developing

August 2022 Spirit Messages

Before diving into the August Spirit Messages, I wanted to share a few things that are coming up. August is a big month for Spirit School! I am doing another week-long challenge in my free Spirit School community that will be focused on the mediumship development technique called sitting in the power. I believe that it will benefit anyone on their spiritual or personal development path. This 5-day challenge will take place from August 8-12 with a live teaching and experience each day!

 

I will also be opening the registration for The Initiation, my Mediumship Development Experience, on August 13th. This program is a combination of live classes, self-study, and practice readings within the community. I don’t do early bird pricing, but I will be providing a discount to the Spirit School Collective, the Initiation waitlist, and participants of the Sitting in the Power challenge!

 

I can’t believe that we are celebrating TWO years of the Spirit School Collective as of August 1st! This is huge and I feel like it’s just getting started. We will be having The Medicine Lodge, an experience where a few  members of the collective put their name forward to demonstrate their gifts for the community. It is a powerful experience that allows us to witness one another. For example, the Reiki practitioners of the Collective will be coming together in this event to offer a group healing!.I will also be teaching a mediumship development class in the Spirit School Collective that will focus on a different area than the other programs, as always!

 

Finally, I am doing my first public online mediumship demonstration on Tuesday, August 9th! I’ve done them in my mastermind and in the Collective, and now you can join me as well! There should be tickets for the event available, and you may be able to snag one of the last 1:1 mediumship readings left for August. The links for everything I’ve mentioned are below! 

 

For the August Spirit Messages, the phrase spirit has been bringing me is, “It’s time to look up friends.” We have been looking down for so long to survive, but it’s time to start seeing the beauty around us. Darkness has had its time, but it’s time to bring back the light. If you focus on nothing else other than how you perceive the world around you, from the space and lens of the soul space and heart, that is enough. I wish you the absolute most divine, most harmonious month ahead.

In this episode:

• The phrase that spirit has been bringing to me is, “It’s time to look up friends”
• We have been looking down to manage our energy and survive
• It’s time to look to the skies and the animal kingdom, especially the perspective of birds
• Spirit is reminding me that hawks were significant in my early development 
• Instead of taking the role of protectors, what can we learn from other living beings?
• We cannot control what has been done, only what in our scope moving forward
• One person at a time, we can connect with the animal kingdom and trees to bring harmony back
• It’s time to look to the sky, dream bigger and make new commitments to all living beings
• We are aware of the problems that persist, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming
• The world of spirit is asking us to look beyond, to the beauty and joy that surround us
• August is a month to expand our circles and learn to uplift ourselves through darker vibrations
• Beyond what we can see with our eyes is what we can see with our heart
• Light will win every time, but it is a journey of rediscovering our true essence 
• Our humanity and spirit bodies can be expressed in balance and harmony
• Go inward and see the world with the inner lens of love and joy instead of looking externally
• The mind can appear so powerful, but is not as powerful as the heart space
• It’s been easy to focus on what’s going wrong but the time to shift is now
• The world needs our light now more than ever before
• Our happiness will increase in August as we learn to tap into this space
• Like a retrograde, we’re doing the work in the shadow period to go direct with new energy
• You may hear spirit telling you to look up when you are out, and realize you’re looking down
• Spirit wants us to realize our insignificance, as we are not the wisest beings on earth
• The wisdom that will come through you in nature will get you excited about life again
• We are taking our lives back and choosing what comes next for us, not waiting anymore
• The darkness had its time and it’s time to bring the light back
• We are easily influenced by our surroundings
• By tuning into the highest part of ourselves, we also connect with spirits around us

Fear of Success

Fear of Success

When I first heard this phrase, Fear of Success, it was a lightbulb moment for me. A lot of what you hear today is my personal lived experience because I teach through experiential storytelling. I find that those who are drawn to listen to specific episodes will hear something through my experiences that really resonates and lands. Hopefully, that will spark and ignite change in your lives. That's why I do what I do.

 

Fear has ruled my life for so long. I'm going to be 40 years old next month, and I feel like  I'm still coming into my adulthood. A lot of people probably feel the same. It's the cusp between who you were, and who you are to become. It feels like destiny territory!

In this episode:

• Innovation requires you to try new things and fail, so it is not a bad thing
• I do have a fear of success, which is imposter syndrome or success anxiety
• We stay small because of the unknowns on the other side of success
• My fear of success is rooted in seeing people misuse influence and power
• I want to reclaim the word power to a feminine and expansive term
• We avoid expansion and miss or turn away opportunities for visibility
• I deflect and devalue my magnificence when I receive a compliment
• I feel like I’ve outgrown the kids’ table but am too small for the adult table
• My assistant Danielle felt my podcast sponsor pitch was more fangirl than CEO to CEO
• In other parts of the world, what you do for work is not asked like in North America
• Being a medium with an online school and a podcaster attracts a lot of attention
• I’ve lost two great friends because of how my success made them feel
• This has given me evidence that this path is even lonelier than before the success
• Shame, perfectionism and procrastination prevent people from the vulnerability of trying 
• Rejection stopped hurting when I started asking myself what I wanted to talk about
• There is no one with influence in the wellness space using their power how I would
• @malibumedium texted me a message that I won’t misuse power in this lifetime
• Some of the things we walk through in this lifetime are from past lives
• I had a wound around criticism, especially when I was feeling good about myself
• When you reach a goal, you question if you can sustain that level of success
• Create your own evidence that success is something safe and self-claimed
• The happiest people in the world live with the least material things 
• Self sabotage keeps me from holding onto the feeling of success for long
• It is foreign and uncomfortable for people with chaotic childhoods and trauma
• I had to create micro moments of joy and love to acclimate to angel energy
• Get clear on what success looks, sounds, and feels like to you individually
• We are chasing a mirage of success that doesn’t have an identity
• Celebrating success when it comes in is part of the healing journey 
• I asked spirit if it was okay to be so proud of myself for launching the new platform
• Celebration is at the vibration of gratitude and abundance
• Healing doesn’t happen overnight and we need awareness around it first
• Try this mindset shift: What if it all turns out amazing?

Visionaries Rest and Take Breaks

Today’s topic is a continuation of the discussion about rest from the July Spirit Messages. I felt like I needed to do a brief introduction today for my new Spirit School listeners! I'm Danielle Searancke, also known as the Squamish Medium. I am a Swampy Cree First Nations Indigenous woman, living in the Cosalish mountain towns of Squamish, British Columbia with my two kids and my incredibly skeptical and supportive husband.

 

I have been developing in mediumship since 2013 and went public with my practice in 2017. I launched and initiated Spirit School, which is this podcast, an online school, and now a community, in 2018. I went full-time into my practice three weeks before the pandemic, in 2020. I didn't realize until about four years into my development how lonely I felt on my development path. So, that was why I started Spirit School, the podcast. It's still my intention to be raw, real, and authentic with you, as you witness me grow into an entrepreneur and an international medium through the time capsule of this podcast. 

 

Until last week, my paid membership was the only way to be in community with me. I know that free Facebook groups bring people to your paid offerings, but they never sat right with me. Last year, my students started asking for a community away from Facebook, and it felt like it was time. My team and I have spent over 100 hours building a platform off of social media. 

 

I have more people listening to the podcast than on my social media platforms, so the new platform includes a free space for me to finally connect with my Spirit School listeners! We just completed a 5-Day live Spirit Guide Challenge last week to strengthen our connection to our guides. You can access the replays when you join using the links below!

In this episode:

• I often receive more clarity when I stop recording and integrate the spirit messages
• Spirit really wants me to talk to my listeners about taking a break
• In my development and career, my health has forced me into times of rest 
• It is scary taking time off and returning to public work
• You may fear losing momentum, going backwards or forgetting what to do
• We often start with practice readings before we feel confident to get back to paid readings
• Build unconditional power from within instead of relying on external validation
• Confidence is on the other side of taking the action 
• Allowing space for integration propels my development more than continuous workshops
• Human experiences propel you in ways that spiritual development can’t
• I’ve taken a break from paid readings and more details come through in demonstrations
• I have been building the foundation for Spirit School and not doing any intentional development
• I’m ready to start doing online and in person demonstrations now
• Without any inquiries or talking about them, my readings for July sold out after 7 months off
• I’m confident going into these sessions knowing I’ve given myself time to rest
• Deeper development happens in times of rest than forcing myself to stay in the craft
• Every time you bring yourself back to this work after a human experience is an initiation
• Ride the flows and honour the ebbs by sinking back into slowness and space
• When we overstimulate ourselves, we only absorb a small percentage of what we consume
• Check out Shawn Ginwright and his social justice work, including his insights on rest as privilege
• In our western society, we are kept busy in hustle culture so we don’t think for ourselves
• Community is central to our happiness but our societal structure doesn’t support it
• Rest and peace are the greatest resistance to fight against the current structure
• Can you reserve the last hour of your day for rest and being a visionary?
• We carry the need to keep moving over to our spiritual development
• I have taken four huge times of rest and I’ve only seen an incline in my career
• See rest as what we need to receive inspirations for where to go next as a collective
• For the first time, I feel that we will see big societal change in my lifetime
• We need people in the middle ground, not the extreme, to envision our collective future
• How do we create a way of being that allows space for constant visioning?
• I acknowledge the privilege and financial freedom I have to be that visionary
• If a lot of us create privilege by resting for the last hour of the day, we can show resistance
• We need people in the opposite energy  using their anger and their voices too

July 2022 Spirit Messages

July 2022 Spirit Messages

Thank you for the positive feedback from the June Spirit Messages. I was very vulnerable and transparent with you that I was in the midst of my PMDD and it ended up being a very powerful channeling session because I had no choice but to get out of my own way. I am in a very similar position this month, so this is another experiment.

 

I woke up with the feeling of PMDD which includes sporadic crying, anger inside, racing thoughts and not being able to express cohesive thoughts. I almost moved my spirit guide class in the Spirit School Collective to the weekend because it is hard for me to show up in this raw state, but I learned last month that there is power in showing up this way. My guides and closest friends also insisted that I go through with it, so I knew there was a need for me to be in that space. When I surrendered to spirit for the June Spirit Messages, they resonated more than ever and I will be doing the same today.

 

You are invited to participate in my upcoming 5-day Spirit Guide Challenge week July 4-8 in my new Spirit School community! This is a free space for podcast listeners and students to have conversations and connect. I will be going live daily at 10:00am PST to teach, guide you through a visualization, and provide homework to strengthen your connection to your spirit guides.

In this episode:

• Spirit reminded me of the message from June to learn to sit with discomfort
• Action and change come if we allow the discomfort to motivate us away from complacency
• The decision in the US impacts all women and people who want to see more feminine leadership
• This threatens people who have power and they will make decisions to set us back
• I saw spiritual influencers sharing harmful content that was spiritually bypassing and light washing
• It enraged me to the point of speaking up and sharing a post that could be polarizing on Instagram
• Escapism often happens when you want to keep rising above reality to higher consciousness
• We are all worthy of serving spirit in ways we feel passionate about and having a divine connection
• We chose to have an embodied human experience in this time and space
• The body keeps score when you bypass uncomfortable emotions and it catches up with you
• Anger, emotion and drive that will drive change that we want to see for those to come
• When I asked spirit about raising consciousness, they showed me how petting animals expands us
• Every time we channel, heal or have spiritual conversations, it raises our consciousness
• The compound effect of these actions is making great strides individually and collectively
• It is negligent to bypass what is happening to our fellow humankind as future generations come
• A big part of the July message is to see where you may be bypassing or skipping steps
• There are many who cannot carry this, but the rest of us will carry the load
• Focus on what is in front of you to manage your energy as there is a while to go in this energy
• Be discerning of what content you consume and pay attention to what makes you contract
• There are people claiming to know the truth but multiple truths can coexist
• Clarity and our own truths will come from within first while seeking externally can cause a spiral
• We are on the precipice of incredible change to our societal structures
• I am feeling for the first time that this could take place in our lifetime
• One of my guides is saying that even in times of hostility, peace is always the way out
• Create systems and space in your life to slow down and prioritize self-care as a necessity
• All of us taking moments of stillness at the same time will create a moment of great change
• There are people who oppose this change and want us to be so busy we lose ourselves
• Our weapon of choice will be peace and it must start from within each of us individually
• There will be a ripple effect as more people start doing this
• Honouring our humanity supports the evolution on the other side 
• A lot of people will have passion ignited from this rage and emotion and step into their purpose
• Our guides, loved ones and angels are closer than ever and are celebrating us from the other side
• It wasn’t an easy decision to come here at this time, but you chose to be here

Planning to Go All In on Your Spiritual Business: Part Two

Planning to go all in on your Spiritual Business: Part 2

This episode is part two of my recent episode Planning to Go All In on Your Spiritual Business. In that episode, I offered tips based on what I would or wouldn’t do again in my transition to a full-time spiritual business.That episode was very popular, and I wanted to share some additional things that I wish I had said. 

 

This path is more safe and secure than any job I’ve had working for another company. I mention a manifestation tool in this episode that I used to visualize my dream schedule as an entrepreneur when I was still in corporate. You can download My Dream Week Schedule and do this exercise yourself! The link is also available after the show notes.

 

In this episode:

• Older generations don’t see entrepreneurship as a path to security
• The spiritual bubble is the sacred space of an undercover lightworker 
• Prepare for difficult conversations with people who have different beliefs
• When I said I was a medium, my husband said, “you’re not going to quit your job, are you?”
• I had an uncomfortable conversation with a friend with religious trauma
• I regretted not sharing sooner with a friend that has spiritual interests
• It was uncomfortable telling my boss that I would be doing this on maternity leave 
• I was shocked that my colleagues asked me to do readings in the Indigenous community
• I would declare to Skylar on my way to work that I was here to be of service
• I was inspired by younger millennials leaving when a position didn’t feel right
• We learn that external validation is nice, but is not what drives us
• I was a self-determined kid and my parents have never doubted me
• It was hard for people to understand why I would leave my government job
• Being First Nations, my kids and I have free benefits
• Disability was more stress than benefit, for 40% of my income
• I pay myself weekly what I was earning on a regular biweekly pay
• I take a modest income and reinvest in my staff and growing Spirit School
• When my brother was ill in March, I was able to be with him for three weeks 
• The evidence I’ve collected is that a 9 to 5 is not more secure 
• Know your why you before you invite people into your spiritual bubble
• I showed my Capricorn husband a spreadsheet of earning potential
• My why was that I wanted to drop my kids off at school and pick them up
• We are a matriarchal family so quality of life is my responsibility
• I hope my children start businesses instead of entering the workforce
• I am demonstrating to them what it looks like to pursue your dreams
• Have a few versions of an elevator pitch for different situations
• Practice out loud for responses to people who have challenging reactions 
• In 2020, I found an old journal from where I had outlined my dream week
• I cried when I realized that my schedule at the time was almost identical 
• Get clear on what you want instead of why you are unsatisfied
• You can download the Dream Week manifesting worksheet in the show notes
• I am opening a free community off of social media July 1st 
• The link will be with the July Spirit Messages
• It starts with a five-day Spirit Guide Challenge

Business Energetics and Healing with Rae Embrey

I am so excited to have Rae Embrey back on Spirit School! In our previous episode, Rae was talking to us about animal communication and healing. Today, she is here to share about her Business Energetics & Healing sessions and the layers that are involved. Rae is a huge part of my self care! She and I met in a business mastermind and we have since become good friends. I hire her every month to do energy clearing and energy alignment sessions for myself and my business. Rae is also our guest mentor in the Spirit School Collective this month and I am excited for her to share more in that space!

In this episode:

• Healing modalities helped Rae get to the root cause more than therapy
• People started wanting the healing their animals received for themselves
• Animal healing is also healing for the people
• Rae has worked with Danielle through struggles with her membership
• She is in a quantum field with guides to connect with your soul’s alignment
• Running soul-based businesses is vulnerable and can trigger the nervous system
• Words that come through in this space also transmute energy 
• You are activating energy and gaining clarity every time you listen
• Rae brought the same messages as Danielle’s guides to continue the membership
• The message “who is holding Danielle?” made her lean into help
• Getting stuck in inner work prevents experiences of flow and contrast
• Danielle talks about spiritual maturity and how alignment is a buzzword
• Rae says that we see anything out of perfect flow as misalignment
• Trust the first spark of the idea and that it may just need tweaking
• Things come up for us to heal and reflect to see our value
• A relationship doesn’t end after one argument. It requires work.
• Danielle talks about us not wanting to sit in discomfort
• Rae says misalignment often shows up as a persistent negative headspace
• Things may look good from the outside but there may be internal struggle
• When chaos is the baseline, calmness activates nervous system
• Meditation and receiving healing help Rae to be clear and intentional 
• Danielle says that the things from the previous month are no longer an issue
• People newer to their spiritual journey are more gradual with shifts
• Clients move through layers and it feels like an elevation each time 
• The beings present in sessions depend on the client and their energy
• Colours that the body and energy centers are craving show up
• People may come when they are feeling misaligned or empty
• Rae sees potentials but doesn’t predict the future and believes in free will
• She is shifting her energy towards a podcast, membership and mentorship
• Rae is also an astrologer and uses transits to understand patterns
• Family dynamics show up in patterns throughout life
• Finding clarity around what you value helps you find alignment
• Nature, meditating, healing, her dogs and friends are self care for Rae
