Welcome,
My name is Andrea Trevillian and I teach emotional healing and spiritual growth with the goal of helping you transform your life into one filled with inner peace and joy.
Today I want to talk about how you can tap into spiritual guidance on your own.
First let's talk about why you can actually do this.
Every single one of us comes from spirit.
When we're born,
We are completely in touch with that world and we're each born with these gifts that help us maintain that connection.
What happens is,
As Don Miguel Ruiz from the Four Agreements would say,
Is we become domesticated.
We've changed ourselves and fit ourselves in to our community so that we can survive.
It's a natural process.
But we each have all these amazing gifts to still connect.
We just have to bring them out through the process of undomesticating.
We release those gifts,
Reconnect with them,
And reconnect with who we are.
So to get started in this journey of reconnecting to yourself,
What you end up using depends on what your gifts are.
My strongest gift is feeling and knowing.
Now you might hear things,
You might smell things,
You might see things.
There's a bunch of ways that you can yourself tune into,
Which is why each of these might work for you and they might not.
I wanted to share with you these tools to help you really get into getting your own spiritual guidance.
So the first one is meditation.
Hands down,
I think this is one of the absolute best ways.
When we quiet our mind,
It is amazing what will come through.
Now this can be hard at the beginning because our mind is going 100 million different directions.
But the more you practice and the more that you center yourself and allow yourself to just hear what is being said while you're quiet,
You will learn to get the guidance that you need.
The other one is journaling.
I love journaling.
When I was actually developing and learning how to use my gifts for spiritual guidance,
Journaling was the first thing that I turned to.
You can use automatic writing,
It's also known as free writing,
And literally just open a page and start writing.
Let the universe,
Your higher sources,
Your spirit guides come through your pen and onto the paper to give you the guidance and the messages that you need.
One thing that I love to do is combine meditation with journaling.
These two,
When paired together,
Are fantastic to get spiritual guidance.
So what I will do is I will do a meditation to clear my mind and prepare myself for journaling.
And then I will journal and do some free writing based on either what I received in the meditation or just that automatic calming space.
The two can go fabulous together.
The third thing that I use and I think is really handy are oracle decks.
And I specifically use angel decks because I'm drawn to the angels,
But there's many decks that you can use.
And how I do this is if I'm stuck,
If meditation is not working and journaling is not working and I can't figure out how to get guidance,
I will grab one of my oracle decks and ask for guidance,
Like point me in the right direction.
So I might not necessarily receive the answer,
But it gets me moving in the right direction.
The other thing you can do is get help.
When you are first starting to learn how to access spiritual guidance on your own,
It can be really difficult,
Especially if you have completely shut down all of your gifts.
Getting help will not only help you hear what's being said,
But if you find a teacher who can help you develop your skills as you go,
It's even better.
So what I would recommend is if you're going to go get help either on just hearing the messages or developing your skills is make sure you listen to your intuition and you get a teacher that feels authentic to you,
That resonates with you.
Do not pick somebody just because everybody else thinks they're great.
Use your intuition as part of your spiritual gifts to make this decision.
And then the final thing that I want to talk about is looking for signs.
We can get signs from the universe and our guides and those loved ones that have crossed over all the time.
So if you're stuck,
Just kind of like the Oracle cards,
Ask a question,
Say,
Show me what needs to,
You know,
Show me what it is,
And then just be open to receiving that.
One of the ways that I use signs is to confirm what I've heard.
So if I do a meditation or a journal and I hear something,
But I'm not quite sure if I'm hearing it correctly,
I will ask for a follow up sign to really kind of finalize what I'm hearing.
So I hope those gifts,
Those tools help you get in touch and receive the spiritual guidance that you need.
Remember to be gentle and loving with yourself as you're going through this process.
It takes time to develop these skills and really hone in to hear the spirit world.
Thank you for listening.
