Is it Spirit or my imagination? How to tell the difference

Have you ever asked the question, what if I'm making this all up? This is what we call imposter syndrome. It happens to pretty much everybody and it is blocking you from receiving information. So, here's the thing. You find the stillness and then you start receiving. You receive a little bit of maybe goosebumps, a feeling. Your heart starts opening. Maybe you see a little bit of a flicker.

And then as soon as that comes in, it's like it disappears. It's like your mind comes in and goes, but what if I'm making this up? As fast as it came, it left. And unfortunately, what Spirit was trying to bring through to you has gone. I understand this and I want to know if this has ever happened to you because it happened to me for so many years and I literally just like thought everything was just a coincidence. Our minds are telling us things and we have to decipher whether it is from Spirit or whether it's our very own brain talking to us. In this video, I'm going to take you through an activation which is going to help you decipher the difference between Spirit and your mind.

Today I'm going to walk you through an activation so you can finally decipher if it is your imagination or if it's an important message from Spirit. Now I don't take doing mediumship lightly. However, there is like one door that your imagination and Spirit speaks through and that door is within your mind. So your mind is like a big mansion with so many nuances, so many doors within that. But the imagination and how Spirit speaks to you is through one door.

So we need to understand and discern what is correct, what is a message from Spirit and what is our own imagination. So I recommend that you comment and let me know exactly what is going on for you through these activations. And also you may have some awarenesses through this video of where you might be blocking Spirit because of imposter syndrome. So like I say imagination and connecting in with Spirit comes from the same origin. We use the same door within our beautiful mind to access information. And yes we can get felt senses.

Yes, we can see externally and hear externally, but mostly it starts with the body. So, I'm going to tell you about the three fundamental things that you need to connect into to discern what is Spirit and what is your imagination.

But let's start off with the origin wound. So, I want to talk about the origin wound because this is a collective consciousness. We have been programmed from movies to our education to the belief systems that we've been told to believe in from when we were like really little about what it means to be woo woo. Now, it's super interesting, because the intellect, the intelligence, the thinking mind has been favoured over intuition for such a long time. So, what we want to do is we want to unwind this.

We want to come into a space where we can go, I can see that this is what I've been told, but I can see that this is actually the truth of it. So, let's go a little bit deeper into this. And I'm curious, what is already popping for you? Feel free to comment down below. What is boiling up right now? Some of the fears, maybe some of the ideas that I'm popping out there that you resonate with.

I would love to know. So imagination and intuition are coming from the same space and place. But of course we were told to favour the intellect. Now here is some proof, right? We want to have some evidence here. Now our school teachers or our parents or those that were bringing us up, like television, society, the collective consciousness, tells us to think before we speak, think before we take action.

But are we being told to do a gut check? Are we being told as children to tap into our inner knowing? So what do you feel about that? What is your gut telling you? Do you want to go hang out with that person? Do you want to take that subject? No. We get told to think about it. Therefore, favouring the thinking mind over the gut knowing.

It's everywhere and it's something that we haven't been able to escape. Of course, we're going to ask the question, am I imagining this? The woo woo was never represented or highlighted as the thing to focus on. It was the intellect. Are you ready to let that go? Okay, I want to see some comments. Maybe give me a 111 in the comments if you're ready to actually bring the inner woo out, the intuition out, and to start trusting your knowing over the intellect.

Oh, and you might start feeling a bit of a bubble up energy right now, like, oh my gosh, I'm being challenged. I'm being stretched. I don't want to let go of the thinking mind. You don't need to let go of the thinking mind, but we need to start doing gut checks, intuition checks, and stop favouring the mind over the knowing.

See, here's the truth that they won't tell you. Your mind will analyse. The ego will question, but Spirit will come through in subtle nuances. So subtle that you're going to have to like grab it and bring it through. It's quiet. It's clear. And it doesn't have drama attached. Yes, we're going to be talking to your ego when we do the activation today. So make sure you don't go anywhere.

So the ego is a really interesting space, and usually it's the opposite of the confidence, and it's usually more like the, I don't want to be seen. I'm not good enough. The imposter syndrome and ego are like best friends.

Now a little story. I go to a psychic medium in my local town. I hear he's really amazing. He was like a carpenter, and he's just really amazing at seeing Spirit and doing mediumship. So, he made this his full time job. And I go and I see him and I'm talking to him about how I was going through this awakening and I can sense my granddad here.

And I started a healing room from my salon in my house. And I said to him, who do I think I am? Who do I think I am to have a healing space when I'm not even a healer? Who do I think I am to believe that I'm a medium when I haven't done a reading? Who do I think I am to be diving into this niche?

I just was pulled a certain way because of the calling. It was a gut knowing. It was my intuition. My intellect was like, what are you doing? And what this man said to me, he looked me in the eyes and he said, who do you think you are not to do this work? And at that moment, I was a tiny bit embarrassed, but I was also in my mind questioning, did he hear what I just said? I'm not educated enough.

I'm not advanced enough. I don't have any certificates yet, and I've created a whole healing room off my hair salon in my house for something that I don't even know what I'm doing with. But when he said that, I also opened my heart, and it stayed with me forever. And I've used that sentence so many times. Who do you think you are not to do this work?

The ego for me was loud. Like, who do you think you are to go out and do this and go out and do this and healing and doing readings and, you know, starting an online business or whatever it was, right? It was kind of prior to that time, but I was starting to put things out on Facebook. I was like, hi guys, my name is Victoria and I'm learning these things. And I was growing this community, if you will. And when he said, who do you think you are not to, the embarrassment was a little bit, and the ego was kind of loud, like, what happens if I do do this work? I'll be seen. And the ego, the imposter syndrome, is really trying to keep us safe, because of many different reasons.

Usually because of the intellect and what we were taught was safe and favoured in the structure of this collective. Is this making sense to you? Let me know how this is feeling for you. Have you favoured your intellect over your intuition? I would absolutely love to know. So the mind likes to analyse, the ego is loud and really likes to distract, and Spirit is quiet and subtle and comes into the body and also externally shows you signs and synchronicities.

So of course you can follow those little breadcrumbs or that light that soul calling. But more often than not the ego will trump. It will always win because it is so connected to the mind. So, are you ready for an activation? Are you ready to connect in with Spirit into the subtleties and the magic of your intuition? We're going to do that very soon.

But first of all, I want to tell you a little bit of a story, because I feel like this borrowed evidence is going to help you remember certain parts that you may have even blocked out. And once we start unlocking and we get evidence, we literally start awakening and expanding our experience with intuition with our psychic mediumship abilities. So I took my son, my little baby, to a health practitioner. So he worked with divining rods. He worked with herbal medicines and all of that type of stuff.

So anyhow, I go to this guy, right? Everyone was raving about him, saying he was so intuitive. He was great. I told him everything about the psychic stuff happening. So, I told him absolutely everything, and then he said something to me that I'll never forget. And he said, tune into me and see if there's any spirit around me. And here I am going for a session for my son, expecting a remedy and maybe some divining sticks, right?

And I was like, what? Okay. I literally closed my eyes and then I just saw this older lady and a little baby boy, like a little maybe two, three year old. And I was like, I see a lady and a little boy. And he goes, oh, that's interesting. And this little boy was very prominent. I could see him in my mind's eye. And I said, I feel like this lady is your mother in law.

And I'm getting the word. So, a word popped into my head. Margaret. And he said, yes, that's my mother in law, Margaret. And I was like, what? He was just being really patient with me, saying, play with me, practice with me, go for it, right? And I'm holding my little baby boy on my hip just going, what is happening? And I gave him a message, Margaret is saying this and this and this, and he was like, yeah, that's correct, you have the gift. And I walked out going, was that for my son, or was that for me? That was evidence. I didn't have any cards around.

I didn't have any crystals. I didn't even prepare. There was nothing there other than what happened to me. Boom, there was a lady. Boom, there was a boy. Boom, there was a name. And there was the evidence.

Ninety nine percent of what we see or what we hear or what we know, when it's to do with another person, will make no sense to us. The mind, the intellect mind wants proof. And this is why so many people will fall into imposter syndrome or ask the question, am I making this up? And the only way to know whether you're making it up or not is to ask the person to tell them what it is you're seeing, what it is that you're feeling, and then you will have basically a conversation on what has landed for them. But of course, we are going to make it a little bit easier for you so you don't have to go do readings for all the different people to get the evidence.

It starts with you first and it starts with you trusting the messages coming through for you and seeing if they resonate.

So, are you ready to get into this activation? After the activation, I'm going to tell you the three fundamental things to tell you whether it is your imagination or whether it is Spirit. So, it's a little bit of like a cheat sheet, if you will. So, are we ready? I hope you have got a nice warm blanket, somewhere to go chill out and relax. If not, maybe do so now.

Go find a spot for yourself where you can fully come inward and go through this activation. So, when you're ready, I'm going to invite you to close your eyes down. Take a nice deep breath in and breathe out your mouth, letting all the words go again in your own time. Taking a nice deep breath in, filling up your belly and breathing out your mouth as you let all of the words go. Relaxing into the space where you sit or lie down and doing a little bit of a wriggle around.

Make sure you're comfortable. Is there anything that you need to stretch out at this time doing a body scan from the top of your head all the way down to your toes. And if you find that there is a space or place that's a little bit sticky or sore or even heavy, I invite you to breathe into that space. Visualise your breath softening it and breathing out any stress or tension. That's it.

So just equalising your breath and breathing into any sticky or crunchy or heavy spaces in your body. As you breathe in light, caress those spaces and breathe out any stress or tension. Beautiful. Dropping your barriers down, down. You are safe. You are guided. You are loved and you are protected. I invite you to feel your body getting heavier and heavier and heavier as you relax down into the space of where you be.

There's nowhere you need to be right now. So, leave your to do list at the door. Leave your baggage at the door. Breathing into your heart space now. And as you breathe in, visualising that heart space opening. And as you breathe out, coming deeper into relaxation. Breathing in and expanding your heart space. Putting a little smile on your face and coming into the space of gratitude. What are you grateful for today?

It could be small, it could be big. Maybe it's the rest that you're receiving right now. Maybe there was some beautiful sunshine. Maybe you saw somebody or connected with somebody that you love. What are you grateful for today? Breathing in love and light into your heart space and breathing it out into your aura. Breathing in love and light into your heart space. Lightening up your body and breathing out the love and light energy into your aura.

Continue to do this for the next few breaths to lighten your entire body up and your entire aura. So you purely become light. Beautiful. And now bringing the breath back into the heart. I invite you to ask one simple question to Spirit. Anything that is real for you. One simple question for Spirit. Anything that's real for you. And you might want to even visualise your third eye opening or even bring your eyes upwards to the centre between the brows.

Visualising as you ask one simple question to Spirit and then listen. Do not chase. Do not force. Just spend the next few moments receiving anything that comes through for you. There may be a word, a sense, a knowing. Maybe you even see something in your mind's eye. Just trust it. It may be even the form of your very own voice. What can you hear? Sense, see?

Now bringing your attention to your body but staying expanded. What is happening there? Is there a shift, a tingle, a calm? Maybe you feel an emotion. Could even be goosebumps or even tears. This is where the real answer lives. How do you feel within your body? The felt sense of your body.

Receiving all information now from the question that you have asked and knowing that you've only received a snippet of the answer. The rest will unfold, unlock, and be received in perfect divine timing. But just knowing that for now, you have received exactly what you were meant to receive. I invite you to start bringing yourself back completely fully into your body from wherever you have floated or drifted off to. You can do this meditation as many times as you choose to.

Bringing the attention to your fingers and your toes, giving them a wriggle around. Notice the space between your eyes if there's a tingle. And now the space behind your eyelids. What can you see behind your eyelids as you bring the attention to your eyeballs? I invite you to take a nice deep breath in with me. Filling up that belly, letting out a sigh. And when you are ready, opening your eyes, finding something yellow or green in the room, or you can have a look at your palms, and bringing yourself fully back into the room, back into your body, wide awake and energised.

How are you feeling? Welcome back. Did you sense a subtlety? Did you see a word? Did you feel relaxed? Or maybe you felt a little bit activated like I don't want this to end. Maybe the thinking mind came in. I just want to let you know whatever you got is perfect. Okay, you're meant to be here if you were here.

And anything that you received is exactly what you're meant to. Divine timing will open up just like the lotus opens up, and you'll receive exactly what you're meant to when you're meant to. But doing practices like this, strengthening the felt sense of the body, the intuition and the subtleties beyond the body is a really powerful practice. So, please feel free to pop down in the comments what came through for you and how you are feeling now. And just take note how you're feeling now than what you felt like before this call.

Is there a change in the energy in your aura in your essence? Okay.

I want to share with you the three things that I think is super important when it comes to trusting our intuition. When it comes to literally going goodbye ego and goodbye imposter syndrome, and really being able to tune in, tap in to our psychic mediumship abilities, our gut knowing, so we can build confidence. So the first one is subtle and persistent. So this is what Spirit is. Okay, three ways to get to know Spirit. Subtle and persistent.

So Spirit is not going to ditch you. Okay. I was talking to Emma, my spirit girl who taught me how to do mediumship from the other side, if you will. Now I was talking to her for a good year to 18 months before I got what she was trying to tell me. Okay. A long time. They do not get fed up with you. They do not get angry with you.

They do not get loud with you. And they do not install fear into you. So subtle but persistent. So like I said at the beginning, you're in stillness and you're starting to feel things. You're starting to get it. You're like, something's there. I can see a flicker. I can feel an emotion or whatever. And then all of a sudden your mind goes, am I making this up? And it disappears.

And the message from Spirit is gone. But don't worry. Spirit is patient and they are subtle. And this is what I want you to know. There is absolutely no fear, no scary stuff, no intensity when it comes to the beautiful, benevolent Spirit. They are love. Okay? If they're coming from the 5D, they are love.

But the second one, this is what we're just weaving in right now. The second one is doesn't come from fear. When I was in my awakening, I wasn't in my protection, which is my power. I was in powerlessness. And what I always like to teach is your power is literally your protection. And I stick by that, and I've done so for years and years. And if something does happen, I pick up on it straight away and I'm like, no. So, if you feel like spirits are around you and they're persistent and they're loud and they're affecting your dreams, and it's too much, right?

It's too much and it feels like there's a darkness to it. It's not your loved one in Spirit because your loved one in Spirit comes in with the best intention in mind for you and the world. Fear doesn't exist when it comes to Spirit communication of the beautiful benevolent spirits. Okay, so that is the second one I wanted to share with you. It doesn't come from fear.

And the third one of course is what we just experienced in the activation. It lands in your body. The goosebumps, the warmth on the side of the body or the hairs in the back of the neck, the tingle in the forehead. Even sometimes it might feel like there's a fly on top of your head. I used to experience that all the time. I was like, is there a fly on my head? It was just my crown buzzing.

Even like lying in bed and feeling a vibration. Have you had any of these? I'm curious. Let me know in the chat. Right. So, I could be lying in bed and I'd feel like a vibration going on, or sometimes when I'm really activated, I can feel my lips buzzing. Right? They're subtle. But like we've discussed today, the ego can be really loud and the thought can be really loud of am I making this up?

Well, it's quite subtle and it's not loud enough, so it mustn't be real. Come back to the body. Root down, ground down, lighten up. Come into your senses. Come into that third eye and go, what am I sensing? What am I feeling? And Spirit, I promise whatever you bring through, I will respect. Because here's the other thing that you need to know. It is really hard for Spirit to communicate with us.

And although they are patient and they do not get angry at us, a lot of people message me and go, Spirit is angry at me. I'm like, Spirit's not angry at you. But no need to fear. And this is what I teach in my certification, Magnificent Mediumship, as I go deeper into Spirit communication. But what I want you to know, whether you have a certification or not, is there's nothing to fear as long as you are in your body and you're coming into the space of what is the felt sense? Because we all have the gut instinct like we have spoken about today.

We've got the gut instinct, the knowing, which is something that was bypassed as children. So I invite you to come back into it to feel what is the felt sense that I feel. Do I sense a rat? How am I feeling about this interaction? Where is fear still playing a role in my life? Or imposter syndrome. If I hadn't listened to the medium when he said, who do you think you are not to, if I hadn't listened to that, I would have not started anything, and I would not be right here right now on YouTube taking you through activations to unlock your mediumship abilities.

I'm glad I was told that. And this is what I'm telling you now. There is no need for fear. Discernment is required. And coming into your body, feeling the edge, feeling the stretch, but knowing what is correct and was not correct. Listening to your gut and your knowing. So, I would love to know what came through for you today. We've done a little bit of unconscious reprogramming today.

So, things might come up for you. So, be gentle with yourself. Memories might pop up. And of course, if you have had scary memories in the past, make sure that you're talking to a friend about this, and just trust that you will go as far as you choose to and what you are ready to with these practices. They're gentle and they are soft. However, they're extremely powerful.
