Spiritual awakening signs: the 3 myths nobody warned Victoria about

I was 33 years old, standing in the kitchen preparing dinner for my family. I'm looking out the window at the kids playing in my beautiful garden when I sensed something behind me. I sensed a warm feeling to my left, and my ear started heating up. I even felt a little bit of tingles, like someone was walking on my grave. That kind of shuddery feeling. I turned around and there was no one there. I literally just passed it off as a coincidence, my great imagination just being a little bit silly. And then it happened again. And I realised this was not a coincidence at all.

Nobody had warned me this would happen. Nobody told me at 33 years old I would be going through an awakening. I had no idea what an awakening was. This is the first video out of seven. This is a no fluff approach, where I'm going to share with you the things that I went through, and the things that I wish I knew when I was going through my spiritual awakening. But don't worry, it's nothing mystical. It is a little bit magical, but really I want to bring through the real grit about what it means to stand in your kitchen making your kids dinner, looking out the window and feeling a spirit behind you.

My name is Victoria Bond. I'm a psychic medium and a spiritual empowerment coach. At 33 years old, I woke up and remembered my soul gifts, and I've been learning ever since. I've been remembering ever since. So I want to tell you right now, if you have been thinking, am I imagining this? You are not. We are not all seeing ghosts and spirits from when we were really little. You don't have to be seeing supernatural things like Hollywood shows us to be gifted, because we all are gifted, and I'm going to prove it to you in this series.

I did not grow up sensing Spirit in the hallways. Sure, I would see some bright colours in my eyes when I went to bed at night, like most children. We all sense things, right? But I did not see ghosts. I had an ordinary childhood. I had dinner on the table at six. I had a bunch of siblings, a Mum and Dad. It was great. I lived at the beach. I had literally a normal childhood. Although I was aware that I had a great grandma who had seen Spirit in her garden, and there were always spirit stories circulating in our family, which I'm sure has happened to you as well. Just go ask your Mum or your grandma. So why would I think that I had any gifts?

This is what I want to bring to you. You are gifted, and we just have to remember what it looks like to be gifted. We are often externally looking, waiting to see the guide or the spirit or the massive sign. But it's in the everyday miracles that we are having our awakenings. And the more we see this, the more we open up.

The first thing that nobody warned me about: the signs aren't about seeing grandma in the corner. It's not about seeing dead people. It's not about getting a massive download about your next mission here on planet Earth. It's so much more subtle. Most people do not see dead people, and there's a reason for that, because we are sensitive. Things are always happening. Signs and synchronicities, and Spirit is always talking to us. Most of us cannot hear because we are too busy. If someone had told me to really come into stillness and presence and be in awareness with no expectation, I honestly reckon that I would have noticed so much more, so much quicker. We are so fast paced, we have literally forgotten how to tune into our own intuition. So that is the first thing, my friends. It's not Hollywood. It is subtle, and when you start listening, your mind will blow.

The second myth that nobody warned me about: you don't have to be born with it. We are all gifted. We just all perceive and receive and return to that in our very own way. Yes, we are going through a remembrance of our soul, but you don't have to be born like the famous Hollywood mediums. It's not a minority. We are the majority. We train ourselves to remember, with channelling, with mediumship, even with our own intuition. And of course, at five to ten years old, we literally forget so much of our gifts, and we turn off our senses a lot so we can stay safe as humans. Now, the minority, they don't turn that off, and this is where we see the psychic mediums that are really trained and tuned in. But we can have that too, if we train ourselves.

Now, you're not a late comer. This is all about the brain. This is all about how you stepped into this reality as a human, and this is how you survived. It is not a bad thing that you put your spiritual gifts on the bookshelf in the back corner for a while, because you're returning to it now, and it's just sitting there waiting for you to unlock. One last thing. Some of the women that come to me in midlife, they become the most extraordinary mediums, because they've had a full ordinary life full of human experiences, so they can bring their wisdom and their knowledge and their intuition to the forefront with their mediumship gifts. So keep that in mind, because this is powerful, and remember, you are always exactly on time.

The third thing that I was not taught when I was going through my awakening. When you start waking up, your peripheral vision shifts. Your awareness shifts and you start seeing things differently. You drop judgment and your awareness broadens. Why is this important? Because all of a sudden your world becomes larger, because you drop judgment and you expand your awareness. Your viewpoints are going to change, and therefore things around you can start changing. You may start getting interested in different things. Your tastes might start changing. My advice here is just go with it, because this is growth and evolution of your soul. Where you've had limitations and mistaken beliefs, your beliefs might blow up and completely change. But don't freak out, because you're not blowing up your life. You are literally waking up your reality.

I would love for you to experience an intuitive activation right now. So if you're with me, I invite you to close your eyes down. Take a nice deep breath into your belly, and breathe out long and slow out your mouth. And again, breathing in through your nose, filling up your belly. Hold it at the top, third eye gaze, and breathing out long and slow. One more, in your own time. Hold at the top, and breathing out your mouth. Having your feet on the ground, making sure your eyes are closed down if you haven't done so already.

And now, without thinking, I want you to imagine somebody in your world and pop them into your head. They can be living, or maybe they have passed. It doesn't have to be a significant relationship here. It can be anybody. Who is the first person that pops into your head now? And now I want you to notice, what are you feeling? What are you feeling towards this person? Are you feeling a warmth? Maybe a little flicker of worry, or maybe your heart expands. Maybe you get a word or a colour. And if you've got more than one person right now, just ask one to step aside. What can you feel? What do you know about this person? What do you like about this person? Is there anything that you require to say to this person?

And now I just want you to pop that person out of your head. You can just visualise them popping out of your bubble, and come back to a third eye gaze, just observing the mind space, any other images or colours or feelings. And if there is nothingness, that is also something. Take a nice deep breath into your belly again, breathing out, and when you're ready, opening your eyes. Welcome back. Stamp your feet on the ground three times. Bring yourself back to your body.

Now, that was a muscle. It wasn't a reading. It wasn't a channel. It was a muscle, an intuitive activation. This is something that we can do as a practice with our family members. We can do it with friends. I do it all the time. I tune into my friends, and sometimes I can have a conversation with them spiritually if I want, or maybe I'm just checking in on them to see how they are. So I'm curious, what did you feel? What did you sense? What did you see? Every time will be completely different. If you did it right now again, it would probably be completely different as well. So go for gold and practice as much as you want. I recommend you have a paper and pen with you so you can jot things down, because your dreams might become a little bit vivid as well. You might be getting information coming through with them. So journal this experience. In video two, I'm going to share with you the patterns that show you you're not just an intuitive, but you are a psychic medium, and I'm sure you're going to recognise yourself in most of them.
