  SPEAKER_00: Welcome to the Soul to Earth Podcast.
• 0:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'm your host, Carrie Coss, a psychic energy healer and spiritual mentor.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_00: My intention with this podcast is to walk alongside you on your spiritual path, supporting you in accessing your innate spiritual gifts in an authentic and down-to-earth way, making the supernatural more natural.
• 0:36
  SPEAKER_00: We are actually in episode three of a seven-part series that I'm doing on identifying and strengthening your intuitive abilities and really integrating them into your day-to-day life.
• 0:51
  SPEAKER_00: So just a quick review of where we've been so far.
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_00: This has been, first of all, so enriching and fun for me.
• 1:00
  SPEAKER_00: I love, you know, I'm a teacher at heart, um, daughter of a teacher, a family of teachers, and so I really love sharing um all of these fundamental um lessons with all of you so that you can all begin recognizing and forming your own um routines and rituals to be able to really just intuitively connect with your spiritual senses, your spirit team, and to just enrich your life in general.
• 1:34
  SPEAKER_00: So the first episode, we really talked about recognizing yourself as a spirit in a body, to move beyond just seeing ourselves as a mind or as flesh and blood, and to expand our awareness out into the spiritual, more subtle world around us.
• 1:53
  SPEAKER_00: And also we talked about grounding.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_00: Last week's episode, we talked about really identifying your primary psychic abilities.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_00: That was really fun.
• 2:03
  SPEAKER_00: And we talked about all of the Claire's are the primary ones, and just beginning to have an understanding for those.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_00: So if you want, if you haven't yet listened to those episodes, please go back, have a listen.
• 2:16
  SPEAKER_00: And today is going to be also equally as interesting, and we're gonna be talking about connecting with our higher selves, our souls, and also talking about spirit guides, a very popular topic.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_00: And I get asked about that all the time when people start working with me is about who's my spirit guide?
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_00: What's my spirit guide like?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: What's their name?
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_00: What's tell me all about them?
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_00: So we're gonna definitely be getting into that.
• 2:42
  SPEAKER_00: So let's start with our higher self.
• 2:44
  SPEAKER_00: And this is my understanding of your higher self and your soul.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, first of all, of course, you are a soul and a body, right?
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: We've talked about that, and so your soul essentially is your higher self, just those two, those two terms are interchangeable.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_00: So, really, the foundation of connecting with your spirit and source, the divine, is to connect with your higher self, and so being more in tune with the pulse, the information, the activations, the downloads, and the stream of consciousness that comes from your higher self and comes into your body and into your world is something that we can actually do on a really consistent basis to create this deep relationship with spirit.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now, I just want to say at the end of this podcast, please go ahead and check the link that I've left in the show notes because I've left a link that you can download a meditation I created on connecting with your higher self.
• 3:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so you can use this as a foundation to get started building that bond.
• 4:02
  SPEAKER_00: So essentially, what are some of the amazing benefits of why would you want to connect with your higher self, right?
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, I will tell you of all the readings I have done, hundreds of them over my life, my adult life, and I will say if the people that I've read were in more communion with their higher self, they would not experience a lot of the challenges and traumas and um and blocks and dissatisfaction if they were more in alignment with their higher selves as adults.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just preface it by saying that as adults.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_00: And so if we start being able to connect and bond with our higher selves, we are living more in alignment.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: When we're living more in alignment, things just go easier.
• 4:57
  SPEAKER_00: We are healthier, we're at we're running at a higher vibration, we're clearer, we have a deeper sense of self-love and satisfaction, we're able to see things clearly, we can connect with others on a deeper level and not be as reactionary.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: We can also manifest much quicker because we're running at a clearer energy feel and vibration, more closely aligned to what we really want in our lives.
• 5:21
  SPEAKER_00: So there's a million different benefits.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_00: Plus, when you connect with your higher self, you're connecting with the source because the source and the higher self are bonded together.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_00: So it just makes for a clearer channel, right?
• 5:37
  SPEAKER_00: So one of the important things to remember is that when you start setting your intention to connect with your higher self, then you, which is you, then you will start creating that clarity and that channel of um through your intention.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_00: So one thing you want to think about doing when you connect in with your higher self through meditation to begin with, it's similar to what I teach my students are beginning to work in the Akashic Records.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_00: You want to go in with a few questions and intentions, like you're communing and talking to an advisor, someone that you really trust and want to gain wisdom from.
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: So if you're setting your intention to let's say you bring in these three questions, and your first question would be, how can I connect more with my authentic self?
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_00: So this is something that you can bring into meditation, and that's why I always encourage everyone to bring in a journal or a voice recorder so that you can start taking down your observations about what you experience when you're in communion.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_00: So, and it could be anything, it could be very subtle, it could be a feeling, a sensation, a picture, an image, a message, an inner knowing.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: You're again, you're activating all of those Claire abilities.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_00: And so when you're connecting it with spirit, you're connecting it with those abilities.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_00: And this is a way we receive guidance and information.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Now, often in most people who are not as conscious of their spiritual life are living a separate life almost than their higher self.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: And that is that typically they can be running from operating from one of these systems.
• 7:28
  SPEAKER_00: It can be their programming that they grew up with, with from their from their upbringing, it can be their family limitations, fears, programming, it can be religious dogma, ancestral, it can be societal, you know, programming and planning.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: It can just be whatever is happening in like what I like to say is in the matrix in general.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_00: And so these are all operating systems that are like a program that have you as a as a human being running in a whole different direction, possibly than your soul's higher self wants you to.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_00: So that's why subtly turning towards your higher self makes all the difference in the world.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_00: And some of the things you'll notice when you start making this intention that could come up for you to resist this is you'll just feel as though you'll feel resistance to meditating.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_00: You'll feel um, you know, I will say dissatisfaction, grumpiness, irritability, things like that.
• 8:33
  SPEAKER_00: These are all indications that the I always say like the jig is up.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_00: This is what I tell my students when they enter into the program.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: I said, you know, you're making a commitment to choose your spiritual growth.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: And when you make that commitment, whether it's conscious or not, the all those programs you've been operating on unconsciously are on alert.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_00: And so they're not going to give up without a bit of a fight.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: And it doesn't have to be high drama or overly intense.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_00: You can definitely have it be a smooth transition, but I just want people to be aware there might be some resistance.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_00: So be aware of that, but understand it's just like anything when you start tuning in to something that's healthy for you and that's for your highest good.
• 9:16
  SPEAKER_00: It takes a little bit of practice and patience and a routine, but the benefits outweigh everything.
• 9:24
  SPEAKER_00: Just being able to feel clear, feel in alignment, feel healthy, feel positive thoughts, and to be able to be more objective and neutral about your life and your life direction, and also be in more alignment, which was what really makes your heart happy.
• 9:44
  SPEAKER_00: All these things are just important steps to know when we're starting to talk about the higher self.
• 9:50
  SPEAKER_00: Remember, too, the higher self is living in a state of timelessness in a higher dimension, higher, lower, whatever you want to say, but essentially it's a higher dimension than what we're living here.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_00: So that means some of the information you get, remember, will be from that higher discernment and perspective and non-reactionary.
• 10:11
  SPEAKER_00: So, because your higher self can see what's coming down the pike, um, also can see complications from your past, things like that.
• 10:19
  SPEAKER_00: So it is though you're being paired with your most sincere and clearest advisor, who can also basically pick you up from the bootstraps of your emotional clutter and patterns of being stuck to a high, excuse me, a higher, more elevated perspective.
• 10:39
  SPEAKER_00: So you want to just know that that's part of this transformation that could possibly occur.
• 10:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now, let's get into spirit guides.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_00: So, again, as I was saying before, spirit guides are definitely one of the most popular topics that I have found that just in general people want to know about.
• 11:00
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and especially as they're getting started on their spiritual path, because after all, your spirit guide and knowing that they're around you and then being able to identify them and get more information about them just makes it all the more real.
• 11:15
  SPEAKER_00: It makes the mystical a little bit more concrete, and also it's kind of magical and really it's interesting.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_00: Let's face it.
• 11:23
  SPEAKER_00: Who doesn't want to know about their spirit guides?
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_00: So here's what I want to say to you about my my own perception of spirit guides and how they work in our lives.
• 11:33
  SPEAKER_00: I'm also filing a disclaimer here because many different spiritual teachers and mentors will tell you their opinion about spirit guides in your life, how long they're with you, how many you have, their role, and all of those things.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_00: And so, what I want to say to you is I have my own um experience and perceptions to go on.
• 11:59
  SPEAKER_00: I have experience looking at um all of my clients and students and connecting with their spirit guides.
• 12:07
  SPEAKER_00: That being said, you have have your own experience.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: Who your spirit guides are, how many you have, that's a very personal thing.
• 12:16
  SPEAKER_00: And so allow your own experience to unfold and don't have too many um preconceptions about how that should or should not look.
• 12:25
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so anyway, but I believe that we have at least one to two spirit guides that stay with us for most of our lives, from when we are from all the way from when we first, you know, are born throughout our lifetime.
• 12:41
  SPEAKER_00: Now, their roles though, they're being advisors, they're sometimes less prominent at certain times in your life than they are, you know, when they're really engaged at certain points when you really need them.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_00: So um the other thing, just on a on a if you're looking at like the micro macro level of all the guides we have, and also the pantheon of guides we have, we have multiple guides that sometimes come to us for just a season, sometimes come to us as a collective, sometimes come to us as part of our over soul and soul family, sometimes are working with a large group of people, the whole planet.
• 13:21
  SPEAKER_00: So there are many layers to that.
• 13:23
  SPEAKER_00: And so it's really up to you, you know, how um moving forward, how you want to proceed as far as connecting.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the other thing is that we definitely have archangels, which we'll talk about in another episode at length.
• 13:37
  SPEAKER_00: And they we are usually connected to a few of them.
• 13:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so in, but again, don't want to limit.
• 13:45
  SPEAKER_00: So uh, but some you have what I like to say are the archangels that you really walk closely with that probably you're part of their soul family and their over soul.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: And so this is just part of the whole package.
• 13:59
  SPEAKER_00: So let's talk get back to talking about spirit guides.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna use myself as an example.
• 14:04
  SPEAKER_00: So I've been aware of since my early 20s, two spirit guides, and I feel them, one to my right and one to my left side of my body.
• 14:14
  SPEAKER_00: The right side of my body is a male spirit that has been with me, and I'm sure I've incarnated with him before, and you'll have incarnated most certainly with your spirit guides as well in one lifetime or another.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_00: They're also, as another note, are really part of you.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_00: So they're an extension of you, and some people say they're a fractal of you.
• 14:38
  SPEAKER_00: I do believe that, but I also like to think, you know, we're in this world here and now.
• 14:42
  SPEAKER_00: And so even though ultimately, you know, we want to believe in unification and non-separation, sometimes it's really validating when you're going through this human experience to know that you've got, you know, this guide that's connected to you, but not exactly you who's watching out for you.
• 15:00
  SPEAKER_00: So the guide on my right, as I mentioned, is a male.
• 15:04
  SPEAKER_00: And his name is and always has been Gideon.
• 15:08
  SPEAKER_00: That's the name he he um presented to me many years ago.
• 15:12
  SPEAKER_00: And let me explain a little bit about his personality, and as you get to know your own, note their personality and where they are when you first connect with them.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: So, some of the things about Gideon, I will say, is he's definitely like an older brother.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: That's what his energy feels like to me.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_00: He feels playful and also a protector.
• 15:33
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and when I first met him, he was just actually, I would call him kind of laid back and helped me feel calm and grounded and safe, and like a big brother, a good big brother.
• 15:45
  SPEAKER_00: Now, the spirit guy I had to my left, I was um very, I will say um androgynous, so not really male or female, and really felt kind of wispy and very ethereal, but also felt a lot like leaned towards being more feminine, was very connected in with healing energy and doing healings for me.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_00: And I also started working with her because many years ago, and this is something I teach in my course, many years ago when I was being trained to do psychic and energy work and healings, we were assigned a healing guide.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_00: And so I believe that um this guide started working with me then consciously doing energy healings.
• 16:33
  SPEAKER_00: I still believe that.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_00: And um, she's always around me, and I do believe she's really part of me and a part of my own.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_00: She's I like I am her and she is me.
• 16:45
  SPEAKER_00: Just she's a more elevated version of me.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_00: And um, so at first, when I started working with her, she was much more just kind of sinewy and very um ethereal and would come in and do healings, and then there wasn't any communication.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_00: And you have to understand, again, it's we have all of these psychic clear abilities.
• 17:07
  SPEAKER_00: This is what we built upon from last week.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we sometimes hear spirit clearly, we see, we sense, we feel, we know, right?
• 17:15
  SPEAKER_00: And so for me, it's always been very visual, but I also hear things, hear auditory audibly.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_00: So, um, and I never got a name from her for years.
• 17:24
  SPEAKER_00: Then in some things started shifting with both of them in uh the beginning of 2020.
• 17:32
  SPEAKER_00: Does that surprise you?
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_00: Just when the pandemic was hitting, I started noticing a few things, and let me tell you about those things.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_00: First of all, Gideon's appearance when he would show up was really changing.
• 17:43
  SPEAKER_00: He was becoming much more sort of almost like built, like buff and muscular, and like he was like the guy that went to the spiritual gym and was working out, and also he was much more on track and intentional, and I felt like he was a bit more of a warrior um and protecting me and also helping me to really um be able to clearly direct my life, like move things out of the way, and I'll go more into how our spirit guides help us too in a moment, but they really he was really like showing up in a different way for me, and I was like, this is so interesting, and even his dress was a little more formal, he was always more casual um before, and then he started showing up a little bit differently.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_00: What was interesting too is my guide to my left, the healing guide, all of a sudden started taking shape.
• 18:36
  SPEAKER_00: And what happened for me?
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: I was in meditation one day, and she approached me as a her, and that's when we started connecting, and that's when I realized that this guide actually is a I will call her an interdimensional being, so she's much more extraterrestrial.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: How do I connect with her?
• 18:58
  SPEAKER_00: I connect with her on a she's like a hologram to me, I will say, but also I can really feel her, sense her, and I can hear her.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_00: She goes by the name of Ashira, and where she's told me she's from, where she comes from, is from a higher dimension, but she's very much connected to the star system or the star of Sirius, I believe Sirius B, but um, and she's given me a lot of information starting in 2020.
• 19:26
  SPEAKER_00: Now, why am I sharing all this with you and why is this important?
• 19:30
  SPEAKER_00: How will it be for you?
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_00: It's different for every person.
• 19:33
  SPEAKER_00: You know, obviously I've been on my I've been doing spiritual work for a very long time, but that doesn't mean that you can't also have these kinds of conversations, experiences, and downloads from your guides.
• 19:44
  SPEAKER_00: It can happen in an instant.
• 19:46
  SPEAKER_00: There's no time or space.
• 19:49
  SPEAKER_00: So she gives me a lot of, I would say, um, downloads.
• 19:54
  SPEAKER_00: She gives me a lot of intel.
• 19:56
  SPEAKER_00: She really tells me what's going on, you know, on the planet right now, and she's very connected in the environment.
• 20:02
  SPEAKER_00: And also, she really helps me.
• 20:05
  SPEAKER_00: She's very technical.
• 20:06
  SPEAKER_00: So she helps me on a healing level, and um I, you know, feel very when I want clear discernment, integrity, and wisdom, I talk to her.
• 20:19
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so we have a connection in that way.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: And she's an incredible frequency.
• 20:24
  SPEAKER_00: So um, these are the types of guides we can all have.
• 20:28
  SPEAKER_00: Some clients I know have guides that are ancestors and that have, you know, this wisdom that they share with them.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_00: Some have um people that I they recognize from past lives.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: There's a a lot of different ways that guides can show up for you.
• 20:47
  SPEAKER_00: The main thing is I want to say about guides is that they are here as a support to you right now, in this moment on earth, in your development.
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_00: They act on your behalf, they act as proxies.
• 20:59
  SPEAKER_00: So that means that they're gonna watch out for you.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_00: If you tune into them, they can give you messages, they can alert you to things.
• 21:07
  SPEAKER_00: They can really be, if you ever, if you've been to a good restaurant before and you watch how the restaurant works, you'll notice that there are, besides the waiters and the busers and the Maitre D and whatnot, and then the chefs, there are runners.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_00: Runners that pick up food and take it to where it's supposed to go.
• 21:26
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and so that's part of what spear guides do.
• 21:29
  SPEAKER_00: They can they go out into the, you know, into your, I would say your spiritual like um climate and your the area that you exist in.
• 21:40
  SPEAKER_00: And they bring back intel and information that will help you.
• 21:44
  SPEAKER_00: And the more you tune into them, the more they can they can serve you, what's your purpose is.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_00: And that could be healing, that could be clarity with your work life, it could be in your relationships, whatever you're trying to manifest or create, they're here to help you.
• 21:59
  SPEAKER_00: Now, do they replace you?
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_00: Do do you give them over authority over your in interior, your life, your choices, your free will?
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_00: Absolutely not.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_00: They would never do that.
• 22:10
  SPEAKER_00: They they're here to support.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_00: But the relationships I say, what that we grow with our spirit guides is really to ask them to act to support you and to um keep you in alignment, to remind you of things, that they have permission to do healing work on you, to um connect with you on you know, many different deep levels.
• 22:32
  SPEAKER_00: So this is something that uh these are relationships that will grow over time and be nourished.
• 22:39
  SPEAKER_00: And I just want to say that as you begin, you know, utilizing um the meditation for higher self, as you begin to open up to talking about your uh with your guides, just know that the time you put in is the benefit you'll receive.
• 22:57
  SPEAKER_00: So whatever time you spend connecting with them and your higher self, you're only gonna reap the rewards.
• 23:04
  SPEAKER_00: And um, it's you're forging a beautiful relationship, and now it just becomes more conscious because they've always been there with you.
• 23:12
  SPEAKER_00: And when it's conscious, it's so much richer and so much more meaningful and so much more powerful.
• 23:17
  SPEAKER_00: So as a reminder, just to scoop up where we are right now, we have just this is the third lesson out of seven lessons.
• 23:26
  SPEAKER_00: Next week, we're going to be talking about fortifying and protecting your energy field and keeping your space at a high vibration.
• 23:35
  SPEAKER_00: Ooh, good stuff, right?
• 23:37
  SPEAKER_00: Lots of good information.
• 23:38
  SPEAKER_00: So, as a note, go ahead and grab my meditation to connect with your higher self.
