Questions this video answers

Why do I feel blocked from Spirit?

I'm going to share with you the three reasons why most people feel like they are blocked. Number one is doubt and overthinking. We have a perception on what that is meant to look like. We overthink it, overanalyse it, and we literally go into doubt. The second one is fear of being wrong, and this is connected to the ego. And the third perceived block is energetic overwhelm.

Is it bad to get a no in a reading?

In mediumship the rules are completely different to the education system and the programming that you've been brought up with. Getting a no is actually a good thing, because we are figuring out the pieces of the puzzle from a different frequency. Every time you get a no, that no is an aligned no, which is going to get you closer to your yes. So any medium that I know, including myself, really embraces the nos.

How do empaths avoid energetic overwhelm?

We expand our energy, and we match the capacity of which we require to hold the connection with Spirit, or hold the reading. We drop our barriers, we come into our breath, we expand, we hold more. We do not need to use our energy to connect to Spirit. We utilise source energy. We have endless energy when we're using source.

Do I need candles and crystals to connect with Spirit?

I had a candle. I had crystals. I had cards. I had my journal. I made sure everything was perfect. And nothing happened. I didn't have my tarot cards. I didn't have the candles or the music or the crystals or anything like that. We were just having fun in the back room. So I share this with you because the mediumship is already within us.

The game in the back room

When I first tried to connect in with Spirit, I made sure it was really special. I had a candle. I had crystals. I had cards. I had my journal. I had dimmed the lights down. I had made sure that nobody was going to be around me disturbing me. I even put a little bit of music on. I made sure everything was perfect. And nothing happened.

The funny thing about this story is, even though nothing came in and I felt huge amounts of frustration and ego and fraudulism, later down the track I realised that I'd been connecting to Spirit all along.

I was an apprentice hairdresser, and one of my friends who I worked with, I was like, let's play a game. I literally thought it was a game. It was fun. It was joyful. And I said, I want to predict your future. I was like, okay, so I can see you not being with the guy that you're with now. I can see you meeting the love of your life and travelling, and you have such a great time. You come back and you have three daughters. You change your career. I'm just making up this big elaborate story.

“She said, this is what you told me. All of it came true.”
Victoria Bond, in this video

Years later she said, hey Vic, do you remember that time we were sitting in the back room having a coffee break, and you predicted my future, and we were being silly? And I was like, what? I didn't have my tarot cards. I didn't have the candles or the music or the crystals or anything like that. We were just having fun in the back room.

So I share this with you because the mediumship is already within us. The reason why I didn't recognise it was because it was my everyday being. But your psychicness is within you. And yes, we can hone it in. Yes, we can harness it. But first of all, let's acknowledge that we have it.

Your gifts aren’t blocked. You may just be overriding them.

No vision, no voice, no sensing, no knowing, no hearing. I must be blocked. Have you ever felt that way? Like everybody around you is connecting to Spirit, and as much as you try, you're getting crickets. You're getting absolutely nothing. In this video, we're going to talk about what those perceived blocks are and how to remove them, and I'm going to take you through a real quick, easy exercise, so you can connect into Spirit today.

But first, let me tell you the story of when I first tried to connect in with Spirit. I thought this was the first time that I was connecting in, so I made sure it was really special. I had a candle. I had crystals. I had cards. I had my journal. I had dimmed the lights down. I had made sure that nobody was going to be around me disturbing me. I even put a little bit of music on. I made sure everything was perfect. And nothing happened.

So here's the thing. I'm laughing because of the amount of pressure that I put on myself. I knew I was a medium. That's the thing. Just like you, you know you're gifted. Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't be here. And the thing is, we know we're gifted, so we have an idea. We have a perspective. We have an expectation of what connecting to Spirit is meant to look like.

The funny thing about this story is, even though nothing came in and I felt huge amounts of frustration and ego and fraudulism, later down the track, when I was diving into my mediumship mastery, I realised that I'd been connecting to Spirit all along. I remember back when I was an apprentice hairdresser, and one of my friends who I worked with, I was like, let's play a game. So I literally thought it was a game. It was fun. It was joyful. And I said, I want to predict your future. And I was being real funny. I was like, okay, so I can see you not being with the guy that you're with now. I can see you meeting the love of your life and travelling, and you have such a great time. You come back and you have three daughters. You change your career. And I'm just making up this big elaborate story.

She said to me, years later, hey Vic, do you remember that time we were sitting in the back room having a coffee break, and you predicted my future, and we were being silly? And I was like, yeah. And she said, this is what you told me. All of it came true. And I was like, what? I didn't have my tarot cards. I didn't have the candles or the music or the crystals or anything like that. We were just having fun in the back room.

So I share this with you because the mediumship is already within us, and we must acknowledge what we've already done before we go into judging what we are not doing. I had this nudge that I was a psychic medium, that I was gifted, just like you know you are. But the reason why I didn't recognise it was because it was my everyday being. And we are taught not to be psychic unless we are really focused in and we've got the candles and all the things. There has to be these situations, and it has to look a certain way. We can't just be psychic. It's something that is external that we have to dive into. But your psychicness is within you. And yes, we can hone it in. Yes, we can harness it. Yes, we can direct it. Yes, we can expand it. But first of all, let's acknowledge that we have it.

I'm going to share with you the three reasons why most people feel like they are blocked. Number one is doubt and overthinking. And I'm sure you probably resonate with this, because I certainly did. So doubt and overthinking is of the mind. We are coming from expectations. We are coming from projections. We are coming from programming. Basically, whatever we've seen or we've been told about what it means to be a psychic medium, what it means to connect in with Spirit, what seeing really means, or hearing, or feeling, or sensing. We have a perception on what that is meant to look like. We overthink it, overanalyse it, and we literally go into doubt, into fraudulism, into, I just don't think this is for me, because it's not coming easy.

The reason why it's not coming easy is because you're looking over here, rather than acknowledging what you have right here. If you take away the mind, the overthinking and the overwhelm, and you come into your heart space, and you realise that you are not alone doing this, that Spirit is meeting you halfway, your doubt will dissipate. Why? Because you've actually taken all the pressure off your shoulders, and realised it's not just about you. It's about Spirit as well. And Spirit will meet you where you are at.

The second one is fear of being wrong. And this is connected to the ego. And the ego is a beautiful thing. We all have ego. We all need ego. But the problem with fear of being wrong is, we have been so programmed to be a good girl or a good boy that we don't want to get it wrong. So you went to school, most probably, you had some type of education, and the way that we were programmed in the system was, good girl, well done, and you want to appease. So if you feel like you're going to get something wrong, you feel like you're going to be the naughty girl, the bad boy. This is not okay. And I find this energy very, very strong in Magnificent Mediumship certification. When we go to do readings, people just go into fight, flight or freeze, and we've got to do a whole lot of energy shifting around the fear, the fear of getting a no.

So here's what I want to say to you about this. In mediumship the rules are completely different to the education system and the programming that you've been brought up with. Getting a no is actually a good thing, because we are figuring out the pieces of the puzzle from a different frequency and vibration that we're trying to tune into. We are literally like a little radio station, and we're trying to tune in to the frequency of the dimension of Spirit. So we can't do that from here, and we can't do that from doubt. So when we tune in and we are fine tuning, we are coming from our heart. Doubt has no place. And every time you get a no, that no is an aligned no, which is going to get you closer to your yes. So any medium that I know, including myself, really embraces the nos, allows the nos to come in, because we just know that this is a part of the process.

Okay. So the third perceived block is energetic overwhelm. Now, if you're an empath like me, let me know. And for me, I don't want to get energetically overwhelmed or overloaded. So this can mean we're afraid of feeling the feelings of other people, or Spirit. To hold that amount of energy is big. And this is one of the things that stops us from being the psychic medium, from connecting into Spirit, because we're like, what if this is too heavy? What if this is too deep? What if this is too much? What if I can't handle it?

Now, this block is usually of the subconscious. You might be thinking, you know what, I really don't think that resonates with me. But it may be an unconscious thought. It may be the subconscious trying to keep you safe, especially if you're an empath and you take on other people's emotions. So energetic overwhelm and overloading is something that humans will run away from. So instead, and this is what I love to teach in my communities, we expand our energy, and we match the capacity of which we require to hold the connection with Spirit, or hold the reading, or the intuitive healing, or whatever it is. We get to expand. We get to shift. We get to raise our vibration, our frequency.

When you raise your vibration and your frequency, you can hold so much, because you are being of the spirit and of the soul. You are being a multi dimensional being. So energetic overwhelm simply doesn't happen when you are in an aligned space to receive messages, to connect into Spirit.

Now, how do I do this, Vic? How do I do this? Nice story, right? Meditate, align, breath work, dropping your barriers, expanding, connecting into your breath. The three things that I'm always talking about in all my videos: we drop our barriers, we come into our breath, we expand, we hold more. We do not need to use our energy to connect to Spirit. We utilise source energy. We flow it through our system, through our chakras, from the universe down to the crown, all the way down into the floor, into the earth, and back up. We have endless energy when we're using source. So if you had this block, I just gave you the secrets on how to expand your capacity to hold the capacity of which you require.

How is this resonating with you? What is the top block that you have perceived to be true for you, connecting with Spirit? Where would you like to expand your connection with Spirit, or maybe even read for other people? I want you to stay with me, because we're going to do a very quick, beautiful activation that's going to help you to connect in, just like we were talking about in block three, to expand your capacity to connect in with Spirit.

The truth is, Spirit is always speaking. Connecting to Spirit doesn't mean you have to be special. It's just about connecting to self. My favourite saying is, to know Spirit is to know self. Your greatest protection is your power. And if you can tune into your heart portal, and know that whatever comes through is going to be perfectly aligned, it's going to show itself perfectly divine, exactly how it's meant to, and that you are already innately gifted in your wisdom and your knowledge and your connection to Spirit, you simply cannot fail. So are you ready to expand a little bit more, to tune into those channels, those frequencies, to receive some messages today? If you clear the noise, you will receive the signals from Spirit, which will give you the evidence and the confidence to continue this journey.

So when you are ready, I invite you to close your eyes down, find somewhere really nice and comfortable, and take a nice deep breath. Taking another nice deep breath in through your nose, filling up your belly, holding at the top. And when you're ready, breathing slowly out your mouth, releasing the day, releasing any stress or tension. And again, breathing in deeply, filling up your belly. Holding at the top. Third eye gaze. Slowly releasing, breathing out your mouth. Equalising your breath, relaxing deeper.

And I invite you to pop your left hand on your heart, and your right hand over the top of that hand. Drop your barriers down, down, down. Staying with the breath, feeling the roots from your feet going down into the earth and wrapping around your most favourite crystal. Putting a smile on your face, and visualising your crown opening, and a white light pouring in from the cosmos, all the way down your body. And this white light is of the true white light, of the highest frequencies and vibrations, for the highest good of you and the highest good of all. That's it. This light comes down through your body and into the earth. Expand, expand, expand, expand.

Breathing in deeply. Breathing out slowly. And repeat after me, whispering or in your mind: I am open. I am ready. I am willing to connect to my higher self, to Spirit. I am open. I am ready. I trust my connection. I desire and choose to connect into Spirit, and beyond, of the highest frequencies and vibrations, of the true white light, for the highest good of me and all of those around me. Breathing in deeply. Feel it go into those roots. Breathing out slowly.

And now coming into a memory. A memory of when you connected into Spirit, or when you had a psychic premonition, or even a thought of a friend messaging you, and then there was a message on the phone, or the phone rang after thinking of somebody. Or a spidey feeling of something happening, that happened. Maybe you've seen lights in your eye, an orb. Maybe you've had a hunch or a gut feeling. Maybe you've seen Spirit or angels. What is an experience that you've had? This is your evidence, showing your brain right now that this has happened before, which means psychic connections with Spirit will happen again.

Repeating after me: I am open. I am ready. I trust my connection with Spirit. I receive from my higher self. Breathing in deeply. Holding at the top. Third eye gaze. Breathing out slowly. And we're going to do that one more time, to activate the third eye. Breathing in, filling up that belly, the biggest breath you've had all day. Third eye gaze, holding the breath. Breathing out, long and slow, out the mouth. Relaxing deeper, deeper, deeper. That's it. Regulating your breath.

Now I invite you to use your spirit fingers. With your eyes closed, and with a sense of everything that is around you while these eyes are closed, I want you to bring your spirit fingers, which is your aura. Make your aura have some fingers, and I want you to reach all the way out to the wall, or whatever is in front of you, feeling what is in front of you. Noticing with your energy what is in front of you. What about behind you? Using those spirit fingers, using that aura, to notice and feel everything that's behind you. Using your sixth sense to notice the spaces around you. And if you're finding this a little bit tricky or challenging, expand your energy. Expand your energy. You don't need to know how to do this, because you are energy, and you will do it automatically.

Now, what about going to the floor, and using these spirit fingers all over the floor, every corner, noticing everything on the floor energetically. And now going up to the ceiling, using your spirit fingers, stretching that energy instantly and easily to cover the ceiling. And now to the left. That's it. Now to the right. And now expand from your centre in all directions, a thousand metres out in all directions. You are safe. You are guided. You are loved. You are protected. Your power is your greatest protection. Anchor in. Breathe. Smile. Beautiful.

And now, just for the next minute, I want you to notice what you notice. Whether there is mind chatter, feelings of being triggered or expanded, joyful, frustrated. What do you notice? What do you feel? How is your body going? What is your breath doing? Do you notice any Spirit around you? Do you notice any foreign smells? What can you smell? What can you see behind your eyelids? What can you notice in your mind's eye? What can you taste in your mouth? What can you hear with your ears? How does your body feel as a whole? How expanded do you feel compared to when you began? Do you notice any Spirit around you? Any lights, any messages? Anything that may be a little bit different that's getting your attention right now. It could be a word, a picture in your mind's eye, the taste in your mouth, or maybe something you can hear. What do you know in your heart? And what can you sense with your body?

And I want you to gently, gently start bringing yourself back completely to your body, into your vessel, while staying expanded. Bringing the attention to behind your eyelids, to the taste in your mouth, what you can hear. Starting to bring a little bit of movement in. A little bit of gentle rocking, wriggling of your fingers and toes, moving your head from side to side, up and down, rolling those shoulders back. And when you're ready, bringing yourself completely back into the room, wide awake and energised.

Welcome back. How did you go? Take your time. You may want to get your journal out. You may want to jot down anything that comes through. But before you do that, I want to let you know that it can be subtle. When I realised that a spirit wasn't just going to show up and start talking to me in this dense reality, it was going to be subtleties. It was going to be like playing a game, putting pieces of the puzzle together, getting nos, feeling feelings, feeling even fraudulent. And that can be a feeling that we're receiving from Spirit.

When I realised that it was more subtle, and when I came into the presence of my breath, into meditation, it was the little things that popped in. Like a little random name that went through a thought that I grabbed, or the colour green, or maybe all of a sudden I saw myself in France, and I thought, France. When I wrote down these things, they started to make a story. Connecting into Spirit and mediumship are literally one and the same. At the end of the day, mediumship is about knowing yourself. To know Spirit is to know yourself. And when we can grab these little tidbits, these little golden nuggets, we can put together a beautiful story by using the signs.

Put a big smile on your face, and be grateful for anything that came through today, small or big, because today you expanded your frequency and your vibration. And practice makes perfect. So do it again and again and again. You can do that meditation as many times as you want.
