How I First Heard My Spirit Guide, And The Distinct Proof

How I First Heard My Spirit Guide, And The Distinct Proof It Wasn’t My Imagination

Are you feeling called to connect with your spirit guides but questioning if the messages you’re receiving are real? You’re not alone.

In this episode I take you inside my very first channeling experience, from my initial doubts to the undeniable validation that changed everything. As a teenager, I asked for my angel’s name, but dismissed the answer as wishful thinking. Then later, at a spiritual festival, I received shocking proof that I hadn’t made it up.

That moment unlocked everything. It taught me that intuition isn’t about “getting it right,” it’s about trusting what you receive.

Inside This Episode: The exact moment I first heard my guardian angel’s name (and why I doubted it!). The unexpected confirmation that proved I wasn’t imagining it. The difference between direct (trance) and indirect (non-trance) channeling. How my first trance channeling experience evolved into my soul’s work.

Experience and I actually because as you know if you've been in my world you know that I teach two different kinds of main channeling which is trans and non trans or direct and indirect and I had first with both of these times so I grew up being very psychic very connected to my spiritual team and very aware of their presence I was absolutely connecting with them working with them in many ways but there was a moment when I really felt the anchoring the connection and hearing them and receiving messages from them the first time right that was the first indirect or non trans and then there was also another trans first time for me with channeling and I want to share that with you today because it was a journey to get there and I know that for everyone it's a muscle right channeling is a muscle you can build it up if you're properly activated if you've healed your blocks if you've got a good system then it's just a muscle the thing is most people they're either not activated they've got blockages or they don't have a good system their system is close your eyes and meditate and then they're wondering why they're not channeling right which is of course because that's just a form of meditation which doesn't work for everyone right it might work if you already have an open channel but it's not gonna work for everyone so I want to share with you my first time receiving receiving from my spirit guide and I was I was a teenager and I was lying in bed and I was sitting there I had just read the book about angels a an angel healing book by Doreen Virtue and I wanted to know who my angels were I wanted to connect to my angels so that past month I'd been working a lot with my angels and I remember lying there in bed and saying closing my eyes I went into a deep meditation and I said okay angels my guardian angel I want to know your name and I heard in my head the name like it was being spoken the name Angelo now when I heard this name my reaction was oh my god I'm making this up angel Angelo angelo Angelo I'm making this up right that was what I thought and I was like okay great I'm making this up so I got a bit frustrated and I was like whatever like I'm not I'm not getting this and I just went on with my day it was the next day or a couple of days later definitely like within the same week we went to a spiritual festival that was on in town now I love this because I was very isolated my spiritual experience I was a teenager I was in high school I didn't have anybody around me that was into all this stuff thank God I had the internet right because I was able to read and research and be in forums and communities and read people's blogs and all the amazing all the amazing things that were so supportive of me which is a big part of why I share it now too in this way because it helped me so much and so I went to this festival that was on I think it was on a couple of times a year and it was a big spiritual festival that had like stalls and workshops and events and psychics and all different things and I loved it I loved it I would walk and be like my people these are my people and I wouldn't feel so alone right I would feel more of a sense of home so I absolutely loved it and I remember I was walking through the stalls and I came across a stall and it was a man who was sitting there I still remember his name Nathan Ho and he had cards there and he had a sign that said free readings free card readings now I was a broke teenager so I was like yes hello ran over to that table and was like please can I have a free reading he was like of course of course so he does this thing asked me to pull out a card you know he's pulling out all these cards doing stuff and he looks at me and goes hmm you have a new angel working with you his name is Angelo I went sorry what complete shock I was like what I was like one you're amazing and two oh my god I received the I received the name of my guide and for me it was the confirmation the validation that I wasn't making it up which is what I say to a lot of my channeling students ask for confirmation spirit gets that it's challenging for you it's part of the human thing we struggle to trust ourselves we feel like we're making it up so spirit likes to give us confirmation right they like to give us signs you get to ask for validation and confirmation along the way to strengthen that for yourself so for me after that I was like okay I'm not making that up and it gave me the fuel to go then home and really get into it and I was like okay angels I hear you like let's go let's talk and that's where I started in direct channeling and communicating with my guides so indirect is when we're not in a trance state right we're very present I'm here like I am with you now and just imagine I was having this conversation not with you but with spirit guides that's indirect channeling but direct or trance is when you're in an altered state you're in a deep deep meditative state a deep theta brainwave state kind of like a deep hypnosis you're kind of here kind of not and they're moving through you rather than talking to you they're talking through you so the first time I did this experience I've been studying channeling I was deepening into it and I remember I was sitting there with the practices going into the deep meditation and I called in the first guide I did it with was with my higher self which is actually who I take channeling spirit academy students through now first to to trance channel your higher self so I was sitting there calling in my higher self and I remember this very visceral feeling of I felt in a very altered state I felt like I was in my body but also expanded out of my body I was in this very very deep meditative state and kind of felt a deeper presence a groundedness but at the same time was like I was expanded and infinite and I felt the connection and presence of my higher self and I felt it as an energy that was external to me and I remember the feeling of connecting to that energy and being like wow it's here and it wanting to speak through me and the first words I said trance channeling from memory I believe they were very simple it was like hello Athena I'm here with you right it wasn't like what you see now when you look at my YouTube and see me channeling no it was just very it was very simple right like we all start somewhere and the growth the growth goes and it was so short I only did it for about 10 minutes and it was like the words came out and then I just sat there that's all I said and then they disconnected and I came back and I was like wow that was amazing and then I went full throttle I was like that was amazing okay I want to do this and I went hard I was like trance channeling for hours every day getting better focusing on focusing on like I really you know they say that you've got to be consistent and persistent to get better at something and I was and I went all in with the trance channeling to get better at it and I did I did and then I met my now husband and he was so enthralled by my trance channeling ability that he we used to trance channel every single day together so it was really a process of growing and perfecting the skill because when I first started it was not there and I was you know not very good because I just I didn't have the skill but the connection was there my channel was open I had cleared all the blocks I had this system to do it and that's that's what I now share and teach thank you so much for being here beautiful soul
