Should You Work with a Spiritual Advisor?

blg post.png
 
Untitled-1.png

I know the spiritual world and way of life has become more mainstream, even trendy now. It seems like everywhere you look, there's a new mindset coach selling a program that promises to change your life or that cool girl on IG pulling daily cards for her following. It’s all SO fun, and I know you just want to get going, but in all the fun sometimes the meaning, foundation, and ethics get lost. It seems like in today’s world, with all the technology and instant gratification that anyone can turn intuitive overnight and while I’m not saying it’s impossible, it takes time to really tap into your intuition and work through your own lessons before you start giving advice to others.

The problem is, a lot of these “new” intuitives do not understand how influential their words are, or how a message relayed incorrectly could really throw someone else off their path. Ethics are so important to me because I experienced many readers who did not understand the importance of their work, some purposely gave me poor advice! I’ve met many spiritual guides who are spiritual, yes, but motivated by only money. I have also met those individuals who have never gotten a single detail correct. I am not here to judge, merely to share my experience when I was first introduced to the spirit world because you should be aware that, unfortunately these people do exist.

Your spiritual advisor should act as a divine guide. As a divine guide their soul purpose should be to pass divine messages to you from the universe and your guides with no person feelings or ego attached to said advice and this guidance must ALWAYS be for your highest good. In addition, your advisor must share with you that this is a GUIDE not a concrete plan. You must know, free will always comes into play, meaning you (and anyone else in your reading) ALWAYS can choose to go in a different direction.

In simplified terms, you are always in the driver’s seat, your advisor is only interpreting the map. If they tell yo to turn right, and you choose to turn left, you can do that. Your route and destination shifts as you choose.

Untitled-1.png

Your role is to be open to the process and enter into the reading or energy session with the right intention, which should always be to ask for guidance that serves your highest good. Trusting that the universe/ guides will bring you the messages through the right advisor is paramount. If you don’t trust when you go into it, getting answers will be harder. In short, the more open you are, the easier the messages come through to your advisor.

Untitled-1.png

If you are asking questions, expect the truth. The truth isn’t always what you want to hear, but the universe and your guides know what is best for your path in this human lifetime. An ethical reader will always tell you the truth, because they are just messengers. They should have no personal attachment or involvement to your reading, they are just there to deliver the letter and read it to you. How you choose to intemperate it is up to you.

One thing you should be aware of is searching out a different answer. This is when you have been told something you do not want to hear but you don’t want to believe it. I’ve seen this so many times, someone asks a question, doesn’t like the answer the universe has passed along through the advisor, and then they seek out another advisor. Again, you are fully in the driver’s seat, however if you start rejecting the universe’s messages you’re messing up the energy. You will end up in this endless cycle of searching for the answer you want, and eventually you’re going to find a reader that will give you the answer you want, not because it’s true but because that's the intention you’ve been setting. At this point, your wishful thinking is undermining the universe’s advice so the universe has no choice but to give you the answer you want because you keep asking for it, even if it may not be true or for your highest good.

Why is this a problem? It delays your process. The lessons you were originally supposed to learn may have not been as severe, but now that you have a false belief the lessons may be tougher when you are forced into a situation where you have no choice but to believe the original truth. In other words, your wake-up call is going to be more intense because you have created a false reality for yourself.

Either way, this is undermining both the universe and your advisor (who you searched out for their expertise) as well as making the process harder for yourself. If you think you know best, then you should not be seeking out an advisor in the first place. It’s a very ego driven approach and the universe does not support ego based thinking. Bottom line, if you aren't going to respect the messages and instead think you know best, please do not have a session.

Untitled-1.png

If you are open to the messages, no matter what they say, and really want to align with your soul purpose, then yes! If you will work through the guidance to achieve your best life and you’re willing to be patient and put in the work, YES. DO IT. As long as your intention is to learn, and do what serves your highest good, you should.

Untitled-1.png

The spiritual world is amazing to start with and only gets better as you explore your path to alignment. Is it all sunshine and roses? No. It is hard work. Sometimes your patience will be tested, sometime you will question why, sometimes you will feel like the world is against you, but just remember that this is all part of your path and the lessons you need to learn. It is OK to feel these things, this is why you are human. Be open to it and go with the ebbs and flows. Ultimately remember that the universe has your back always, you cannot go wrong when the universe is guiding you.

Weekly Reading - July 14 - 20

With all the retrograde going on and the full moon occuring on Tuesday, this week is set to be exhausting. The energy will be scattered, and thus affect us all in the same way. Be mindful of your conversations, emotional reactions, and taking on too much. Now is the time to think before you leap and set a plan in motion based of spirit’s guidance. To get through this week, we really need to sit with self, meditate, and focus on our own mental, emotional, and spiritual needs. It’s ok to say “no” if you are feeling scattered and drained.

With all the opportunities presented to you this week, now is the time to step back, and connect with spirit. All the answers you seek are already within you, you just need to allow time and energetic connection to receive the messages.

Weekly Reading - June 30 - July 6

This week is all about introspection, moving through struggles, focusing on the positive, and analyzing what lights you up. It’s the time to be honest with yourself and know that a change needs to be made. In addition, the message is also that you need to have confidence and faith even though your situation may be extremely shitty. Now is not the time to rush through the process, if you do the cycle may repeat itself on your next venture.

The High Priestess
Intuition, Divine Feminine, Abundance, Secrets, Silence

The High Priestess brings with her deep intuitive understanding as well as the mysteries of the unseen world. She is also highly intune and hints that currently there is a thin veil between you and the spirit world. The answers you seek are already contained in your subconscious, you just need facilitate moments of stillness in order to receive the messages. Keep your focus on subjects that ACTUALLY are important instead of trivial matters. Focus on feeling and intuitive knowing rather than logical thought. Now is also the time to tap into your divine feminine by showing love, open spiritual connection, empathy, and trust.

Five of Pentacles
Lack Mindset, Worry, Financial Issues,

Hard times may be present this week in career, finances, or material things. As this card commonly brings with it loss, you may have also recently lost your job, money, or even interest in your business (if you are self employed). You may also be experiencing fear (lack mindset), but you need to recognize that you may also be putting blocks in your own way with this thinking. There is a need to move past this, but take your time. It can be difficult to shift energy at this point, so start small and show gratitude to the little things. Remember positive breeds positive, so keep your vibes focused on positivity.

Eight of Cups
Indecision, Escapism, Withdrawal, Laziness, Unburdening

There is still more to do, even though you may be feeling hopeless. Things may not be going the way you had hoped and you may be considering walking away. It’s time to take steps towards moving on or re-directing your route. Though you have tried, you know something is missing. Trust your intuition and know that if you need to leave behind a job, friendship, schooling, etc. this is for your highest good. Now is also the time to check in with yourself and consciously look at what inspires you or you are passionate about. If you do not focus on what you love, you may find yourself in another unfulfilling situation again.

Crystals for this week:

Moonstone - Helps to keep your emotions balanced and encouraging expression of divine feminine energy.

Hemimorphite - Helps you clear victim mentality, negative thoughts, and instead encourages self confidence.

Fire Agate - Encourages protection and emotional balance during times of change.

Apathy, Doubts, Contemplation, Meditation

You are currently having self doubt, which is causing you to turn your enegy inwards. You may be receiving new projects and opportunities, but turning them down.
