Awakening, Be in Charge

By Victoria Cochrane

Post on August 12, 2025

So you are awakening to your gifts and connection to your guides? It may have come in suddenly or been creeping in for a while, but whatever may be happening to you, it’s hard to talk about, right? Not because you don’t believe it, but others probably won’ t and hey, how do you describe it to them anyway?

We all have the ability to be psychic, but many of us will never realise our gifts in this lifetime. That may be for several reasons, but fear is the most likely to be the main one. In spirit, we know only love and where our journey is leading us, but in a human body, the spiritual realm is vast and daunting. Here are a few tips for connecting in a safe way:

Ask for help.

The first thing I did when I started to smell cigarette smoke around me when no-one else could was visit a psychic. Even though they couldn’t tell me who exactly it was, they did give me some ideas of how to connect.

Of course, it was my deceased grandfather who led me to Archangel Michael and the rest is history. Just don’t go it alone. Find someone who can tune in to see what is happening. It is really important to know who you are talking to so that you can trust what you are being shown and told. Unless it’s a relative, Angels and Masters are more trustworthy, but always ask for any help to be for your highest and best.

Learn

Read books, research and find a spiritual tutor who can teach you about energy and how to activate your psychic senses. The main thing is that you learn what is relevant and helpful to you – ff spirits are coming to you and you can’t shut them down, find out how to do that. If you are seeing auras everywhere (very distracting) find out about them and how you might close them off or alter your energy to not see them.

Do courses

Reiki or other energy healing modalities are great for learning how to feel and control energy. Crystal, angel, pendulum and chakra healing courses may suit you and help you to develop your gifts.

Clear, ground and protect your energy. Keep your vibrations high.

It is so important to keep your aura protected and your energy grounded as new vibrations come in. The higher your energy, the higher your consciousness and the less lower energies will drag you down. Zip your aura up and break ties with others regularly.

Be in charge

If you are fearful or don’t feel ready, there is no mandate to develop your gifts at this time. Fear and anger are especially dangerous when working with the spirit world because they open up our auras and leave us vulnerable to attack. Ask your guides to help you cut ties to the energy and tell them you are not willing to commit at this time. We are co-creators and have the right to exercise our free will.

Practise!

If you are ready, practise! Whether it’s card reading, clairvoyance, automatic writing or healing techniques, if you don’t use it you’ll lose it. Practising your strengths will help develop other gifts.
