Your Soul Knows How to Speak to You

This month I have been exploring receiving, and this final piece feels like the one that brings it all back to who we really are.

We have looked at receiving through the body, through rest, breath and allowing ourselves to stop. We have looked at receiving emotionally and mentally, especially the art of dodging a compliment as if it has arrived with a bill attached. Now I want to look at spiritual receiving, which sounds as if it should be very mystical, but I think it begins in a much simpler place.

Spiritual receiving begins with being connected to who you are at soul level and being happy with that.

It is knowing yourself as a soul, not as a list of things you should improve, prove, achieve or explain. From that place, intuition, inspiration, guidance and support can come through more clearly, and you can feel whether something makes sense for you. You are not handing your power over to anything outside you. You are allowing your own soul wisdom to recognise what feels aligned.

That distinction is very important. Spiritual receiving is not deciding, “My guides told me to do this,” and following along regardless of how it feels in your body, your energy and your heart. Real guidance feels connected, loving and true. It may stretch you, it may surprise you, and it may ask you to take a step you had not planned, but it will not ask you to abandon yourself.

I think we can block spiritual receiving by making it far too complicated. We compare ourselves to other people and decide they are doing it better. They meditate better, hear their guides better, see colours, get visions, pull cards, channel messages, know their past lives, or seem to float through life wrapped in divine instruction while we are standing in the kitchen wondering whether to eat the chocolate...my guides told me the whole bar made sense!!

Comparison is the opposite of spiritual receiving. We are all different. We are all perfect. The way your guidance reaches you does not have to look like anyone else’s way. You may feel it in your body. You may get a clear thought. You may see a sign. You may hear a phrase. You may simply feel drawn to do something and only understand later why it mattered.

For me, guidance often comes through feeling. Recently I was guided to do a Soul Realignment update reading for myself, and I loved the feeling of clearing energy that was not mine to hold. There was something so freeing in recognising what had built up, what was ready to clear, and what no longer needed to sit in my field.

I can judge myself too. I can catch myself thinking I am not connecting with my guides “properly”, as if there is a correct spiritual admin procedure I have failed to follow. Then I feel I am not good enough, which is a fairly dramatic place to go when the actual messages that come through are always loving. The message is usually that they are here whenever I want to feel that vibration.

For me, it often arrives as tingles around my head. That is one of the ways I know connection is available. It is a feeling, a frequency, a remembering.

You may have tried all sorts of ways to receive guidance, and that is wonderful. You may have journalled, meditated, prayed, pulled cards, asked for signs, had readings, listened to activations, worked with energy, or asked someone else to help you see what you could not see from inside the pattern. Support from someone else can be very powerful because it can help shift your vibration and bring you back into clearer connection with yourself.

The real gift, though, is what happens afterwards. You begin following the breadcrumbs of your own guidance. One breadcrumb may be rest. Another may be a conversation, a class, an idea, a reading, a walk, a video, a decision, or a sudden desire to change the whole world. Guidance does not always look like the final outcome. It often looks like the next true step and the outcome may be wildly different.

You do not have to force it. You can notice what feels good, what feels expansive, what feels loving, and what brings you closer to yourself rather than further away.

This is where FRED is such a useful starting point. Before trying to receive a spiritual answer, pause and notice where your energy is now. Are you feeling radiant, connected and open, or are you running on willpower, comparison and mental noise? Awareness gives you a place to begin. If you are feeling overwhelmed and this is just another thing on your to do list, maybe leave it for now.  Take some breaths, move your body and let yourself come back to it when it feels good.  I often think I "should" do some automatic writing.  It is part of my routine in the mornings but sometimes if I leave it for later I feel much more connected than if I do it so I can tick it off my list.

And if you would like a supported way to experience a shift in your energy field, Awaken Your Light is a beautiful next step. It gives you daily Light Language, Crystalline Soul Healing®, affirmations and guidance so you can reconnect with your own light and begin noticing how your soul speaks to you.

Your guidance is already there. Your guides are not waiting for you to become more impressive before they support you. Your soul is not holding back until you have mastered spirituality properly. You are already powerful, already connected, and already able to receive in the way that works for you.

The next breadcrumb may be much simpler than you think.

Reflective question: Where have you been comparing the way you receive guidance, and what would happen if you trusted the way your soul already speaks to you?
