Hi beautiful souls!
Welcome to Light Leaders Essential School.
I'm Athena Bailey.
Today we are talking to why you're struggling to receive from your guides.
Now there can be a real myriad of reasons why you're not actually receiving from your spirit guides and I want to talk about those today.
Now as we know,
When you were talking about channeling spirit guides,
There are a few things that you have to have in play to activate your channeling abilities.
One of those is activations.
You have to actually activate your channel.
You have to do healing work to heal what's in the way,
You know,
Any blockages you have,
Past life trauma around channeling.
We've got to clear that.
Then you need a tried and tested system,
Right?
So this is,
I have a channeling school where this is what I teach as well.
And then you need practice and personalized support,
Right?
If you're not practicing and having personalized support,
Not just,
You know,
Intellectual theory,
You're going to get stuck.
But let's say you've got all of that and you're still having a hard time.
There are a couple of things that I want to speak to here.
Now the first one is you might not actually be trusting them,
Right?
And this is leading to you arguing with your guides,
Which means basically it's like they're telling you to do something and you're like,
No,
No,
I don't want to do that.
And you're choosing not to see when there's something you actually need to do and you need to see.
And then I'm going to let it go until you do it because it's that important,
Right?
If we ask for guidance and we receive it,
We actually need to be willing to lean into the guidance that we receive.
Yes,
A part of it is trust.
But if we're in denial about what we're being told,
Even though the deeper part of us knows they're right and I have to do it,
But we're not doing it,
We're saying,
Okay,
Okay,
I get it.
I have to start my business.
I have to show up online.
But what else,
Spirit Guides?
Tell me something else.
And we just want to receive and receive and we're not actually taking action on what we're told.
Your Spirit Guides are going to keep coming back or they're going to be like,
Come on,
Do the thing,
Take action,
Right?
We're not just here to sit and talk.
We're here to help you and move you forward in your spiritual gifts,
In your soul expression,
Right?
That's what they're there to help you with.
So we want to make sure that we're trusting them,
We're taking action,
And we're not arguing with them because that's where resistance can be formed.
Secondly,
If you're not practicing,
And I mean not on your own,
Right?
Now,
One of the things that I see here that stops people from channeling or having practice or having stuff come through from them when they're channeling is that they are not practicing,
Right?
Like,
Yes,
It's one thing to do it on your own and sit,
And it's very important to have a daily practice.
But if you are then just trying to do it on your own and sitting there and doing it for yourself,
It's not going to develop.
Channeling is very much a gift for others.
Yes,
It is a gift for you,
But it's also it's a huge gift of service.
It's like a healing gift.
How are you going to develop a healing gift without healing anyone,
Right?
You actually need to practice.
So that means go out and channel for others.
It's really important that you know what you're doing,
That you're following a safe system to do it.
I highly recommend mine,
Channeling Spirit Academy by Theena Bailey,
If you do feel like you need support.
And it's really important that practice,
Practice,
Practice.
Nine times out of ten,
When somebody in Channeling Spirit Academy says to me,
Theena,
Like,
I haven't had much progress.
I'm like,
Okay,
So how are your practice sessions going?
It's like,
Oh,
I haven't done any.
What have you been doing?
Oh,
Just sitting on my own with my guides,
And I've been getting some stuff,
But it's not,
You know,
I'm not progressing because we're not channeling for anyone.
It's really important that you take time to channel.
When I was developing my channeling gifts,
I was trans-channeling for everyone.
Everyone.
I was like,
I'm going to trans-channel,
I'm going to trans-channel.
I was so dedicated to growing and expanding these abilities,
Right?
Which is why they are the way they are now,
Because I practice not just on my own,
Not just I'm going to do my healing on myself.
Unless I'm actually out in the real world doing this work,
It's not going to develop.
Thirdly,
It's really important you have a daily practice,
Right?
Because channeling is not just a tool.
It's a way for us to have a spirit-led life,
Meaning a life that is co-created with the divine.
And if you are not taking the time to actually sit with your spirit guides every single day to have a conversation with them,
To ask them for support,
To thank them,
To express gratitude,
To build the relationship,
Because that's going to make you more sensitive to their energy so you can recognize it.
It's going to strengthen your relationship to them.
It's going to raise your vibration.
It's going to do all of these important things that you might be overlooking and then maybe once a week you sit down to try and do a meditation or a guided channeling process.
It's not enough.
It is a daily thing,
Right?
It's like going to a workout once a week or doing a daily process every single day.
One is going to get you results,
One is not,
Right?
It still might feel good in the moment when you're doing it,
But if you actually want long-term results,
Long-term long-term growth,
You know,
When I tell people what my life is like,
How I channel,
How I channel about everything from business to relationships to life,
My connection with my guides,
And you can go watch my trans channeling videos,
All of that came because when spirit said jump,
When spirit said Athena go do this,
I did it.
I didn't argue,
Right?
Sometimes I'm like,
Oh really spirit?
Okay,
But I do the thing,
Right?
I trust,
I surrender,
I say yes.
I have a daily practice that every day I'm connecting with my spirit guides,
Not just in the morning,
But throughout the day,
Right?
I'm committed to that relationship.
And three,
When I was beginning out to really grow my channeling and I wanted to get good at it,
I was practicing constantly.
I was offering sessions for free,
Starting out for free,
Trans channeling,
Giving,
Giving,
Giving,
Right?
To develop that gift as well.
If we don't use it,
What,
What use is that gift?
Like you were given these gifts so that you could serve humanity with them.
So it's so important for you to serve.
If you're doing these three things,
Well actually,
If you're not doing any of these three things,
It could be a reason why your channeling is not progressing.
As long as again,
You have activated your channel,
You peel the stuff in between,
You have a system that actually works,
Which isn't.
Close your eyes,
Meditate,
Connect your eyes.
It's not a channeling system.
That's a way to meditate,
Right?
And people get confused here and then they wonder why they can't channel.
You actually need a proper system to be able to channel and to discern and to do it safely.
And fourthly,
Support.
Actually,
Somebody who can look and support you and help you and practice with you.
