Episode #95 – Channeling Your Spirit Guides and Ancestors

Introduction to the Podcast

Welcome to the Crystal Self Healer Podcast. I’m Corissa Weaver. On this podcast, we blend the magic of crystals with the science of psychology to help you break free from chaos, ditch the overwhelm, and master your emotions so you can have more energy, get more done and feel better every day. Get ready to unlock your intuition and restore your true power as we cover how you can transform your life using crystals and self-awareness.

Are you ready to get started? Alright, let’s go.

Understanding Intuition and Overcoming Overwhelm

No doubt you are bombarded with information from every direction, every single minute of the day.

And between your responsibilities and just being human, it can be a challenge to digest and make sense of it all.

The noisier your world gets, the harder it can be for you to recognize your intuition or the guidance you get from higher sources, whether you call it your spirit guides, ancestors, or angels.

Many of us take comfort in knowing that we are part of something bigger. Something to give a greater sense of meaning to your life.

When the institutions and people leading these systems gate keep the process or demonize the practice, it only widens the disconnection.

Channeling Spirit Guides and Ancestors

Whether you want to heal unresolved emotions, experience a greater sense of meaning, or strengthen your discernment, channeling your spirit guides and ancestors doesn’t have to be hard.

In this episode, we uncover your way to clarity, purpose, and the ways you can gain insight into creating a more intuitively guided and abundant life.

I am sure you’ve seen the depictions of people going into a trance, speaking in tongues, participating in seances or using Ouija boards.

All of these are legitimate avenues for channeling, but they’ve also been used by Hollywood and religious narratives to instill fear or create distrust in the methods and practices.

There is a lot of misconception when it comes to connecting with spirit guides.

What I find fascinating is that the government has done multiple multi-year projects that have affirmed the ability to astral project, or carry out remote viewing, along with other skills, yet so much of the population is convinced that it’s fake, not possible, or not accessible for them.

To make any sort of headway when it comes to channeling your spirit guides and ancestors, we need to be on the same page for what channeling is.

Channeling can take many forms, and quite simply is the ability to tap into, or tune into experiencing things beyond the five senses.

What makes channeling challenging is that it requires you to find how you access the information that is abundantly available at all times.

Exploring the Ace of Cups

The card inspiration this week is the Ace of Cups as the energy to call in from a crystal and tarot forecast inside the Charmed Community.

There’s a lot of wonderful symbolism used in this card that is generally associated with love, fertility, relationships, and new beginnings.

But first, let’s acknowledge that this card is the suit of cups.

Right off the bat, we know we’re dealing with emotions, and that is a key element when wanting to channel.

Next, I want to bring your attention to the lily pads and lilies on the water surface.

These flowers grow through murky water to show themselves and their beauty on the surface.

Last but not least, the bird carrying the coin as if they are bringing an offering to place in the cup.

While this is not an exhaustive examination into the interpretation of the card, what these images highlight is what is at the heart of channeling: the ability to access the feelings and emotions, as well as get through the murkiness to access the offerings being made to you at any given moment.

Everyone has the potential to channel.

It’s not uncommon to hear painters, writers, or composers say that they are inspired or engage with a muse to produce their work.

However, over the centuries and largely within Western society, we have marginalized what is normal in older, more tribal cultures.

We are conditioned to want to predict or control our environment, to believe there’s risk if we don’t protect ourselves from the dangers of our modern lives.

The hardest thing is to trust the unknown and mystical we’ve come to accept as channeling.

The way you will commune with spirit is individualized and personal.

The tools used to get there, whether it be crystals, tarot, automatic writing, Ouija boards, pendulums, or any other tool isn’t the important thing.

What is, is establishing the permission to receive the messages.

So whatever tool you resonate with, that’s the one you should use.

Quite often you will put your ego and physical self in front of what’s coming through or reshape messages to make sense to your lived experience.

What I want you to take away from this episode is that there is no one path, no one way you will channel or become the conduit for information to come through.

The key to communing with spirit is to ensure that your ego and busy mind are not influencing the moment.

Whether you experience clairaudience, clairvoyance, or any other form, you have ready access to the offerings of the universal knowledge.

The Role of Meditation in Channeling

One of the most direct ways you can discover which way you connect with and channel your spirit guides and ancestors is to meditate.

When you practice meditation, you learn to recognize the antics of your mind.

You might think that the objective of meditation is to achieve the quietness and stillness of the mind, and yes, that happens to be one of the side benefits.

But knowing how your mind plays tricks on you or throws up blocks is the real win.

Knowing these things gives you the ability to discern between your mind and your ego from the messages you are tapping into and receiving.

For some, channeling will involve accessing an altered state.

For some, this altered state can take up a lot of energy.

For others, channeling can be as easy as breathing.

When starting to work with energy, it’s not uncommon to feel exhausted or drained after a session.

The learning curve is in realizing you are a conduit, not the actual force for the energy.

That’s what makes this endeavor frustrating and reinforces the benefit of meditating regularly and brings us back to the Ace of Cups.

The offerings are all around us, it’s up to you to embark on the journey, to feel them, sense them, know them by understanding you, your mind, and your emotions.

Chrysocolla: The Crystal for Clarity

The crystal I’m going to offer today that will support you in channeling your spirit guides and ancestors is Chrysocola and here’s why.

When your goal is to get greater clarity in channeling, Chrysocolla supports opening and cleansing of the heart and throat chakra. You’ll feel more at ease receiving and expressing intuitive messages and distinguishing them from your ego and genuine guidance.

Emotions, especially those being overlooked, ignored, or stuffed down can interfere with and block channeling. Chrysocolla supports you in overcoming fear, stress, and confusion, so you can move through the murkiness and overwhelm into clarity and light.

Discernment between your own thoughts and those received through channeling is the work to be mastered, and Chrysocolla encourages tapping into your higher consciousness. You’ll be better equipped to recognize and follow divinely inspired speech and communication.

And through its soft, soothing, feminine energy, Chrysocolla supports you in accessing and embracing your goddess essence. By feeling more at home in your physical body, at peace in your emotional being, you’ll experience more confidence in your intuition, your spiritual practice, and tools.

Practical Meditation Tips

For the most part, I think you know exactly what ritual I’m going to be suggesting for you here today, and that would be to meditate.

For that, you will need Chrysocolla and a few minutes of uninterrupted time.

The goal is to keep it simple by just focusing on your breath.

And noticing if and when your mind wanders or starts to fixate and focus on something.

The power comes in the observation, not in the suppression, and then the redirecting back to the breath.

You learn how your brain works, what it feels like when your brain starts to worry, and how it will try to distract you or harness your attention.

This is all normal. It’s what your brain is designed to do, keep you safe, use the least amount of energy, and it does that through repetition of what you know.

The minute you see the patterns, you empower yourself to break the cycles and prove to yourself that you are safe and able to channel, because you’ll know the difference between what your brain habitually does and what the higher consciousness offers.

So go grab your crystal and meditate for a few minutes each day.

Observe the patterns and pockets for change, and then notice what else is coming through.

I’d love to hear your experience, so leave a comment and tell me all about your progress.
