How to feel Spirit around you: 4 signs to trust before you see

Your hairs are standing up on end and you've got goosebumps all over your body, but nothing has changed in the room. You sense that maybe you're being watched, or maybe you're just like, huh, there's something that is different, yet everything looks the same. And then in the next thought, you think, oh, I'm tired. Oh, it's a full moon. Oh, it was just what Nanny used to say, a spirit walked on my grave. Well, sweetheart, you're still alive.

Your whole entire life you've been waiting to see Spirit with your eyes, to be clairvoyant, because that's what a medium is, right? Wrong. Yes, some people see with their eyes, but the truth is the majority of us feel, and we always feel first before we see anyway. So in this video, I'm going to share with you what it feels like to feel Spirit. We've got to stop bypassing what it means to be a medium and start acknowledging the gifts that we already have.

Once we stop questioning whether what we're feeling is real or not, the next question is, well, how can I tune in to see who it is, what it is, and what it is that they want? All of these things are going to be revealed for you, not just with the content that I'm going to share with you, but through experience. So make sure you stay to the end, so we can go through this activation together. My name is Victoria Bond. I'm a psychic medium and a spiritual empowerment coach.

For me, feeling and the goosebumps and the intuition and the sensing things, all of this was a lot stronger than seeing. Seeing came afterwards, and that is pretty normal when it comes to mediumship. The problem is most of us are looking to see Spirit, and we're literally bypassing Spirit being with us. It's kind of like we're looking for the lightning in the sky, but we miss the rumble.

Why is feeling the first touch point when it comes to Spirit? Well, it's pretty easy really, because we're emotional beings. We are sensory beings. We are sensitive beings. We are feeling beings. If someone calls you a name, it hurts your little heart. If you feel like something is off, you feel a sinking feeling, a gut knowing. We are so sensitive that of course the easiest way for Spirit to connect with us is not through what we're seeing, because that can be subjective. What are you looking for? Are you looking for that lightning, or are you hearing the thunder? Nothing is black and white. Feeling is pretty much the most reliable out of the clairs. Your feelings don't lie.

I was doing a session, and honestly, my arms and legs were completely goosebumped. I was talking to my client's great, great, great, great grandmother, her fifth generational grandmother, and she was standing right there, chatting away. Of course, I knew Spirit was there before I could see her, because all of a sudden my body knew. It knew it wasn't alone. Isn't that interesting? We have got a sixth sense, and it comes through the feeling. How do I know that it's my emotions, or is it Spirit's emotions? How do I know that there wasn't a change in the temperature, and that's why I got goosebumps? We're going to practice this.

Signature one is temperature change. Like I just said, what if the goosebumps came because it's cold? Maybe they did, but why did the temperature change? For me, when I was doing a reading for a client, all of a sudden I'd be like, ooh, I'm getting cold. I always have a blanket next to me when I'm channelling. Always. When we go and do energy work, quite often you might get hot, so you've got to take off your top, or sometimes you get cold, so you've got to do layers. Have you ever done a reading or received a reading and you started getting really cold, or really, really hot? This is your body speaking. This is Spirit coming through. This is you receiving information, or letting go of information. It's energy. We are energy.

The other thing I want to mention about temperature change is you might notice a patch on your skin, on your leg, on your arm, or somewhere, that's hot. This can mean a variation of things as well. If you're doing a reading, maybe Spirit's showing you that this person had a neck injury, or maybe there's something wrong with their arm. We can get aches in our bodies and stuff like that as well. So take note if there's an isolated case of heat or coolness, or even an ache, because this is information.

Signature two, a wave of emotion that just kind of doesn't belong in your day. Emotions can also come with a prickly feeling going through your body. When we're doing a gut check, a yes or a no, is this true or is this not, we often will feel a little spiky feeling within our system as well. So an emotion that comes through you, but it doesn't belong to your day or your emotional state, that's usually Spirit. Now, my rule of thumb is, if you're doing a reading for someone, then any emotions that you feel belong to them, if you're attuned to them and you've done all the grounding and all of the work previous to the reading.

Now, if this is in your everyday life, like this video is about, you're just standing in a room and you get the prickly feeling and you get cold, or you sense something else is there, or maybe you feel emotions, it's probably Spirit. And this is so common. The first readings I ever did, I felt so much emotion. I would feel so deeply emotional that I would be crying along with my client. I didn't realise that all of those emotions were theirs and Spirit's. Yes, Spirit can still feel.

So how do we know the difference? Well, how does your day look? Did you just have a fight with your partner? Or did somebody upset you? Or were you thinking about someone that had passed away and you were missing them? Those emotions are probably yours. But if you're having a lovely day and everything's going well, and you haven't had any thoughts, or there's no reason for it, and all of a sudden you get a wave of emotions, I wonder who this belongs to, because it's probably not yours. Is there something that I'm releasing right now? Is this mine, or does this belong to Spirit?

I was just at the supermarket, having a great old time in the lolly aisle, and then I felt all this emotion. And sometimes it's a spirit saying, hey, they actually belong to someone I walked past in the aisle. There are a number of different reasons why we feel emotions. So what do we do about that? Is this mine, or is this somebody else's? Can I track it if it's mine? Are you an empath? Do you pick up on other people's emotions, including Spirit's, or are you an emotional person and you don't feel others? It's good to know what the differences are.

Signature three, being alone but not being alone. This is a bit of a paradox. Most of my life, if not all of my life, I have always felt like there are beings with me, or people with me. When people would say, I feel lonely, or I'm bored, I'm like, how? Because I've always felt like there is a room full of people. In fact, it got so busy for me that when I went to a medium, I just said, everything's so noisy, everything's so loud. And she said, tell Spirit you want to have a human day, and to step back and leave you alone. Wow. Didn't even know that was a thing.

So when you're in a room and you feel it's kind of busy, that's because you're not alone. That is one way we can be in a room full of people that don't have any bodies. But the other one is, maybe there is no spirit. Maybe there's a residue in the walls. Maybe you're feeling the energy of what was. The house that I live in now, I could feel all the energy of the grandchildren, of the children, of the parents. The lady who owned this house had a huge family, and it was their holiday home. It took me months to really quieten down the energy of the house. I don't have a problem with the echoes of the children playing, of the Christmas dinners, of the fishing trips, and all of the fun that's been in the house. But at the beginning, it was quite loud, and I wanted my imprinting, my energy and my family to be in the house. To be a real true intuitive, you've got to know the difference between the energy in the room. Is the energy an echo of energy that was, or is it full of Spirit?

Signature four, of course, is knowing the yeses and nos in your body. Knowing your body, and understanding the discernment and what the messages are. When people come to work with me and they just keep saying, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I'm like, okay, hold the boat. We need to go and learn what your yeses and nos are. It's not your fault if you're an I don't know person, because we have been trained to question our very own knowing. When you were a little child and you knew something, or you were accused of something, you were told by an adult or an authority figure that you're wrong. So you literally put down your yeses and nos. You put down your energetic toolkit and you give up your power. This happens to most children. It's not the adults' fault. It happened to them as well.

Let me give you an example of the knowing in your body. The phone rings and you literally get the Spidey radar. The hairs on the back of your neck go up. You feel nearly like an instant panic. Your tummy just clenches down, and you know there's something not quite right. That is the instinct that you have straight away. You answer the phone and your kid has fallen over and scratched their knee. Of course, you know when something's wrong. Or the phone rings and you're like, I'll get it. You answer it and you're like, hey, Mum, what's up? You kind of knew before you knew that it was your Mum, didn't you? When my Mum rings me, which isn't very often, I always know. I don't know how I know, but I just know.

So how did you make choices your whole entire life? There are the ones you chose not from your knowing, but from the conditioning of think before you make a decision. Sometimes you're like, oh, I knew I shouldn't have done that. And then the ones where you said, yeah, I'm doing that, it feels great, I'm going with it. And you go, that changed my whole entire life. We know. And somewhere along the line, we gave up our power because we were told we were wrong. And the truth is, we weren't wrong. Don't take everybody else and their opinions so seriously. And again, it's not our fault, because we were told and taught to listen to other people.

So we're going to do the activation now, and I want you to take your power back. This activation is going to help you get really strong on your yes, but also trust the feelings that are coming through your body. When you're ready, my friends, I invite you to close your eyes down. Make sure it's nice and safe to do so. Feel your feet on the ground. The first thing that we do together is we drop the barriers down, down, down. There's nothing to be afraid of. You are the strongest entity in your reality. Feel the roots coming from the feet all the way down into the earth and around the earth. Glow up the earth underneath you by breathing in a golden light, and as you breathe it out, direct it down into your toes.

Visualise your crown opening, and a golden light flooding on down through. And now expand your energy in all directions, a thousand metres out in all directions, nearly like you're as bright as a sun with rays. These are your energy strands. These are your Spidey radars. This is your energetic expansion happening right now. Now, from the top of your head all the way down to your toes, do a body scan. Do you feel anything on your skin? Cool, warm, hot. What are you noticing on your skin?

I'm going to flow a little bit of Reiki energy to you now, if you so choose to receive it. Feel it coming through you, on your skin. Notice what you notice. There's no wrongness. I used to never be able to feel Reiki, but I always felt myself giving it. Can you feel or sense, or do you know, that there is energy coming to you now? Did you get a yes or a no? A yes quite often is an expansive feeling. A no is like a sinking feeling. And if you've got a nothingness feeling, that's okay. This is just something that we want to work on together.

Visualising yourself in a golden bubble. And now visualising a door. Maybe it's above or below, or side to side. And now a loved one in Spirit is going to walk through that door. You don't need to know who this loved one in Spirit is. You may have never known them. Maybe it's a great, great, great, great grandmother, like we've spoken about. Someone that loves you, and that you love, in Spirit is stepping through the door. Just invite one, maybe two at the max. They are of the highest vibrations and frequencies of the true white light. We only invite in beautiful light beings. They're going to come up to you, and you are right here with this circle of light around you, in this beautiful bubble. Your roots are down. You are in spirit mode.

Ask them to touch somewhere on your body. I remember the time the Holy Spirit touched me on my head, and I got tingles all over my body. That day I needed a little bit of faith, and it showed up. So right now, just notice, and I want you to take note of how you feel. Maybe it was a thought. Maybe it was a feeling on your body, or a knowing of where they touched you, or maybe you had a vision. Take note of that right now. It's time for them to leave. Feel the gratitude for them coming through. They leave through the door, they shut the door, and they take all of their energetics with them. Beautiful.

Start bringing yourself back to your body now. Five, four, three, two, one. Back into your body, wide awake and energised. Welcome back. How are you feeling? You might want to do that a few times. What came through? Did something come through for you? Maybe you could actually see that they were touching your shoulder. Maybe you just knew they were touching your heart. Maybe you felt somewhere on your body heat up. I would love to know in the comments what you experienced.
