Criticism & Reclaiming your Power

So many people right now are experiencing criticism from others about their work and their path. Including myself. The theme this month is all about stepping into your power and reclaiming your power from those who have tried to take it away from you. Spirit are saying to me, isn’t it much more of a lesson to ‘claim back your power’ when you are faced with situations or people who try to stop you from doing so. Lessons need to be impactful. Otherwise, I in particular… won’t learn. The aspect of having to ‘fight’ or ‘prove’ yourself to others, makes it all that more harder to take back your power. What Spirit are telling me is that… you actually DO NOT have to prove yourself to anyone… and you DO NOT need to battle with others in order to know that you are POWERFUL.

What we are being reminded by Spirit is that those who are not on your spiritual path with you, won’t understand your experiences or the challenges you’ve been through in order to break through onto your individual spiritual path. So, they will have no idea HOW their words and actions will impact on you. But this is why, these people are put on your path. Because they won’t stop themselves, at the risk of upsetting you. If they were to think twice about their words and actions, then you would not get the opportunity to learn the lesson you need to learn. Does this make sense?

Spirit are wanting me to share this message with you today, to remind you that you are absolutely on the right path. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have made it this far to where you are now. In the times where you are discovering yourself and discovering your gifts that you are able to give to the world, there are going to be some people and some challenges put in your way in order for you to ‘remember who you are.’ There is a need right now, to not allow the judgement, the fear, the ego, the criticism stop you from moving forward. Because it’s through moving forward, where you WILL reclaim your power. You will show the world, that actually… “I’m not giving up just because one person is feeling uncomfortable about something I’ve said, or about something I’ve been ‘pushed’ to share with the world.” Only you can decide whether you are going to push through in times of adversity.

Spirit say: “You have come too far, to give up on what you have worked so hard for.” Be loyal to the work you love.

I have done approximately twenty readings in the past month and a half with my Mini Messages Special. Out of those twenty readings, I’ve had maybe two people either respond adversely, or had not replied at all. The remainder have sent beautiful responses and have been able to connect to most of what had come through in the reading. The majority of people showed gratitude and thanked me for using my gifts to support them on their path. The people who show gratitude for your work, and are thankful for the services you provide, the gifts you use to help others (regardless of what work you are in!!), are the type of clients and are the type of people you want to work with.

Now…as a reader, and many readers will say the same… we have no control over what messages come through. We can ask for more information, or ask for messages to be expanded on…but other than that, Spirit controls the information that comes through. We are just the channel that Spirit use to get the messages from their realm to the person on the other end of the reading.

To share vulnerably… these two readings that involved information that was not well receive, and the aftereffects of those readings had created a ‘block’ in my own path - something that most spiritual healers will experience at some point in the course of their journey in helping others. Spirit don’t always tell us what we want to hear, but not because they want to upset us, they are merely trying to highlight for you something that you were either in denial about, or they want to prepare you for something that is possibly going to impact on your life depending on your freewill choices. The process might be a difficult or stressful one, but the results are usually outstanding. Sometimes Spirit prepares you for the ‘tougher’ times, so that you can get to the better aspects of where your life is headed. I’ve also had readings where, Spirit have brought through what I NEEDED to hear, but it wasn’t necessarily what I WANTED to hear.

Now, my fear and my ego focused on the two readings that didn’t go as I’d hope… rather than the eighteen or so readings that went really well. One of my biggest lessons this year has been to trust. Now, in my head…I’ve been thinking ‘how can I trust when I’m being put through these challenges?’ Life is FULL of ups and downs. It’s not going to be all sunshine and roses. And Spirit have reminded me: “In order for you to learn your lesson, to reclaim your power, this can’t happen unless you actually experience something that forces you to make the decision to rise above the situation.” The fact of the matter is, when it comes to Spirituality and the connection you build with your Spirit Team… you must learn to TRUST even when times are tough. Even when you are faced with criticism, even when you feel stuck, even when you feel lost. Are you able to TRUST that better days are coming, once you get through the challenges? And then take responsibility to work with the Universe to get to those better days.

I have been proven time and time again that Spirit always have my back and that in fact, I am on the right path regardless of what some people may think. Even in those times when I feel like I’m sinking, Spirit will show me signs, they will send me messages, I will feel their presence around me. And I never have to wait too long, before things will improve again - provided I don’t resist.

So, this little write up today…is to hopefully give you some comfort knowing you are not alone. There are people everywhere this month being tested on their path and tested on their purpose. Trust that there is more to the situation than what meets the eye. Dig deep into what this situation, this challenge, this conflict, is trying to teach you, or trying to help you to see within yourself. I urge you not to give up on your dreams. Reclaim your power and do activities that help to lift your energy. Surrender to the outcome of this situation and prove to the Universe that you aren’t giving up on what you have already worked so hard to achieve. Focus on all that has gone right, not on what hasn’t.

A Spiritual Exercise: “Call in Your Soul Clients”

If you are someone that works with others, whether that be spiritually or in a completely different industry. You have made ‘contracts’ with these people to work with them in this lifetime. You may be here to support them on their journey, or they might be crossing paths with you to help you learn something. However, calling in your soul clients in something that you can do, to help attract more of who you want to work with.

Close your eyes and say:

“Spirit, please bring me the soul clients who I can help easily.

Please bring me clients who I can help with confidence.

Please bring me clients who appreciate my work, just as much as I appreciate them in their role of supporting my own soul’s work.

Please bring me like-minded clients, who are of a similar vibration to my own.”

Then as you are saying this, I want you to visualise these words being sent out to all your soul clients. Watch as the energy from the words, spread off into all corners of the Earth and reaches the people who have a soul connection to you and your soul’s work. You can even tell your clients where to find you, how they will recognise you, explain to them your business logo for example. Let them know that you are looking forward to meeting them and working with them in this life. Show gratitude for them, send them love knowing that you will get to work together soon in whatever capacity is right for the both of you, and in divine timing.

A Spiritual Exercise: “Step into Your Power”

Draw a circle of power in front of your feet in the floor: Say: “This is my circle of power.”

Step into the circle and pull up the energetic power from the floor all the way over the top of your head.

Say: “I am now within my own power. I am confident and trust my Spirit Team are supporting me.”

Clap 3 times to consolidate and complete the energetic exercise.

Good luck for the remainder of December. Keep shining your light bright💖 Stay tuned for the January energy blog post over the next couple of weeks.

Love and Light,
