Embracing Your Soul's Path: From Fear to Trust
Have you ever stood at the edge of a major life change, feeling that mixture of exhilaration and complete terror? That's exactly where I found myself after following Spirit's guidance to quit my secure day job and fully embrace my calling as a Reiki Master.
This deeply personal episode takes you through the emotional rollercoaster of trusting divine guidance when everything logical screams "what are you thinking?!" I share how anxiety began overwhelming me one morning at the park—until a perfectly timed song reminded me to let my spirit take control. The journey from self-reliance to spiritual surrender hasn't been easy for someone who prided herself on always having three backup plans and never needing anyone's help.
Through tears and revelations, I recount one of my most profound spiritual experiences—when Jesus appeared during a Reiki session and gently lifted my chin to deliver a message that forever changed me: "My child, I did not give you these gifts for you to hide them." This powerful encounter forced me to question why I'd been hiding my spiritual gifts out of fear of judgment, especially from religious communities.
Your spiritual gifts aren't meant to be hidden—they're directly connected to your joy and purpose. When we heal ourselves and embrace our authentic selves, we help raise the collective vibration of the world. I offer practical suggestions for connecting with your spirit team through oracle cards and share exciting news about an upcoming live community event where we can connect and support each other on this journey.

Speaker 1:Hello everybody, we are at episode seven. I can't believe it. Seven is probably one of my favorite numbers. Seven, seven, seven, seven, seven. Anyway, yeah, so things have been kind of crazy. I followed Spirit's direction and I actually put my work notice in officially, and this is insane. We are now, as I'm recording this, at the beginning of April and my last day at my day job will be next week and I it's terrifying In so many ways. It's terrifying. I think the reality of all of it is setting in and I was starting to get into my head and so I feel like, you know, this is a place I can be honest and vulnerable and I appreciate that so much. You know, somebody asked me the other day they're like, why do you always say we at this podcast or we at this? Because really I feel like not only is it me and my spirit team, but I feel like it's all of you and your spirit teams to kind of coming together and collectively like reminding us of different pieces of guidance or different things to feed our spirit or give us direction or give us things to think about and all of that.
Speaker 1:So today I was, I had dropped the kids off at school and I've got a couple appointments this afternoon, and I just kind of. And then I went to my favorite spot in the park. I was kind of really getting in my head. I felt myself just starting to freak out a little bit. I'm like, oh my gosh, what if I quit my job? And, let's say, like a couple of days later, all of a sudden like I'm like, oh my gosh, what if I quit my job? And let's say, like a couple days later, all of a sudden, like I don't have any clients and and for some reason, like none of the workshops that I have planned work out and none of the meditations, and what if, like, I can't end up teaching my Reiki class, and all these things started to begin to overwhelm and overcome. And then you know, the voices in your head were they're like why would you even think you could do this to begin with? Right, and I took some deep breaths, because spirit always tells me, when I get too much in my head, to just get back to my heart and it's going to be okay. And I took that pause, I took some deep breaths. I'm like, okay, okay, go back to your heart. Go back to your heart, everything's going to be okay. Everything's going to be okay. And they had me reflect on the past, and especially the last couple of months, and they were like we, we're not going to let you down. Like we've got your back, we're not going to let you down. You're going to be able to support your family, you're going to be able to still do your part of things in this 3D world. It's going to be okay.
Speaker 1:While I felt that from them, I still was struggling with it. I was like man, I just don't know my gosh, like I just felt this anxiety creeping up further, right, and then I thought about like everything that's going on in the world right now and the chaos of different things and the uncertainty of so many different things, and this like coldness that some people are still holding onto and to, and things, and I'm like gosh, you know. And so I got myself ramped up again and I'm like what the heck is going on? So I'm flipping through my songs that I have downloaded on my phone and, as I had pulled into the park, and then I like stopped clicking because I was turning a corner and everything, and the song that I feel like is becoming my new anthem comes on Soul Shine by the Allman Brothers Band and there was a spot that really stuck out to me and I feel like Spirit was like listen up. And he says, when your world feels cold, you've got to let your spirit take control. And I thought, wow, yeah, and to break that down further, when I get so pulled away from my heart and I get so in my head, anxious and overwhelmed, you just got to stop. You just got to stop and you got to let spirit take control. And it brought me back to also you know, I talked about the moment I had went to the retreat, I think in my first episode, and how terrified I was and one of the things that a lot of people said at that retreat what happened?
Speaker 1:A lot of people were saying trust the process. You just got to trust the process. You just got to trust the process, justina, and I'm like yeah, okay, yeah, trust the process. And I felt this irritation like rise up in me and I'm like trust, like seriously, like I can barely trust people. This is me a while ago and I'm like why the hell would I trust a process? And I thought, wow, I. It gave me this moment of how trust, this reality of how trust has been. Man. They're gonna make me cry again. This is, oh, they have turned me into a mush spot, just saying. But it's bringing tears to my eyes because it feels so emotional, like I think I had a very, very mild awareness of trust being an issue for me and the vulnerability that went along with trusting especially someone else, and I thought, wow, it made me well. It's making me now feel sad for the past.
Speaker 1:Me Like there has been so much fear that I have worked through and so much of learning to trust the process. But the first several years of hearing that and trying to say those words even out loud, was just like I just wanted to scream bullshit. Like why would I dare trust the process? Like where in the past has that served me? By no, what served me is standing up for myself, is taking care of my own stuff, not asking people for help, knowing that I always, always, always have everything lined out. I have a backup plan, I have three backup plans probably, and knowing, no matter what happens, I'm going to be fine, I will make sure that my family is safe, no matter what. Right Like I don't need nobody's help. And it came very clear, especially three years ago when I lost my best friend and my grandma, and it was a real awakening of like holy shit, I do need people, I do need spirit, I do need to trust the process. I do need that when, yes, yes, it has served me well. I've got shit done and, yes, I have kept me and my family safe, and that's not what we were made to do, and that's not what we were made to do. We weren't made to just do everything alone, and that's why community is so important to me now and that's why even this platform, I feel.
Speaker 1:This morning I had like kind of this daydream for a quick minute and I was like, oh my gosh, like am I? Like signing into record a podcast? And I'm like, dear diary, I'm like, oh my gosh, but I feel like you guys are my friends. That may sound completely insane and I it may be crazy, right, but you know it made me think about, too, like you know, the fear of being seen and all of these things that I've continuously worked on and and worked through and I'm still working through, right, I thought, wow, like I'm going to mention this again because I feel like I'm probably going to end up having a episode prior to this episode dropping of this book that I just heard about the other day listening to Enlightened Impasse. I did post on my Instagram and it's called Claire and Her Magical Friends, and there's a Instagram page. There's also a Kickstarter page Please, please, please, pledge to this.
Speaker 1:And I heard them talk about this book and it's in reference to the Claires. Like you know, claire sentient, claire cognizant you know how, how do you hear, how do you feel, how do you see? You know all of these different things and and basically, you know how, how do you hear, how do you feel, how do you see, you know all of these different things? And and basically, you know, it's like a spiritual book for kids and it touched me so much on such a deep soul level, probably an inner child level, that I thought if I would have got my hands on this book, or if I would have heard somebody reading this book a million years ago, I would have. It, would have given me this sense of safety and the sense of I'm not alone. I'm not alone in these feelings that I'm getting. I'm not alone in anything, really, because it reminds you of how many different things are coming towards us, trying to support us along this journey, right.
Speaker 1:So when I go back to trust the process, as all of this anxiety was setting in as I started blaring that song, soul Shine started feeling it and I could start to feel spirit even more working with me and really going through each and every step that they have prepared me for this next humongous step of making a change that is so different from my norm of stepping into a role and because I don't know, the future is uncertain, I don't logically on a 3D. Do know that my soul is so in this is so in this next chapter of making Angel Reiki Journey my full-time job of being able to provide sessions for people, being able to coach people through their spiritual path, being able to teach people all of the things that I have learned and I'm still learning, and to learn from everyone else. Anytime you come together for any of these classes, especially any spiritual classes, you always have the opportunity to learn from the people that are in the class. You know you do learn from the instructor, of course, but you learn so much about not only other people, but you learn a lot about yourself and you learn that you are not alone in this process.
Speaker 1:I feel like I have to say that so often because I needed to hear it so often. I still need to hear it sometimes, today, even when I'm talking to spirit 24 seven, arguing with spirit and everything else, for some reason I still have an incredibly thick head and need to be reminded We've got you, we've got you, and that's what your spirit team is saying to you every day. Every day, they're like we've got you. Yes, you do have to take action steps. Yes, you do have to do things in this 3D world. You do. Oh, my goodness, a cardinal bird just flew by. Hello, oh, that just felt amazing, sorry. Oh, that just felt amazing, sorry. You do have to participate in the process, because we do. You know, let's be real, we do have to function this 3D crazy world. Unfortunately no, I'm just kidding we do have to do that.
Speaker 1:But there is something so beautiful about trusting the process, and now I can feel myself just getting even more in my heart, returning to that place of safety, returning to that place of connection with spirit, returning and reminding of all the knowledge, the power, the wisdom that lies so deeply within you, whether it is spirit talking to you, whether it is your higher self guiding you, your entire spirit team working with you. All of them are supporting you. You can go to them at any time. You can ask them to simply hold you. Archangel Michael comes in a lot to my sessions and asks people to envision him enormous. He carries this beautiful blue energy and he's just enormous and he says just picture me, picture me really big, and I want you to climb or allow me to pick you up and set you on my lap and I want to just engulf you, just wrap my entire being around you and hold you and let you know you have that security, you have that support. You don't have to physically go anywhere to get it. It's just beautiful. I'm so grateful.
Speaker 1:Hello, oh my goodness. Special announcement I am so excited. I am doing a Zoom live event May 13th at 12 pm Central. I do have a flyer posted on Instagram and I've got some of the other time zones listed on there too, but I'm so excited. I want to connect with you guys. I want us to be able to have a few moments of community. It'll be about 60 minutes and we can chat, you can ask questions, we can talk about different spiritual topics, we can do a meditation. We can go with the flow we can talk about if you've had, like, a vibe or experience that you have questions about or you want to share. You know this is a safe place for you uh, want to share. You know this is a safe place for you. So I just want to let you know that and I'm inviting you to come, and I hope you do. There's a Calendly link that's posted, uh, in the comments under my Instagram, but I'm also going to put that Calendly link in um, in the notes for the podcast episode as well. So it'll be in there and it's a free event. It's just, um, after this first one, it'll be around $11, but, uh, I want so badly to be able to give us some time to connect and say hello. You don't have to have your camera on If you don't want to. You can and just kind of see where everybody is in the world. You know, I think that's awesome and it's so important to be able to build community. Maybe you have somebody that lives 20 minutes from you and now you have somebody that you can connect to. So I'm so excited. I can't wait to see you. Okay, now back to the episode. You? Okay, now back to the episode.
Speaker 1:So also this morning, when I was kind of prior to all the anxiety setting in, I was doing my morning kind of connection, you know, and and I was connecting to spirit and everything. And they brought me back to a time when I was in a session and Jesus came in. Jesus has only come in a couple of my sessions over the last 20 years, but when he does it is, oh, it is so incredibly powerful and magnificent. And the first time he came to me in a session and now I know why I'm getting ready to say this, why they had this come in this morning because they knew I was about to start freaking out about all the 3d stuff. So in this session, um, the person I'm working on is in a chair. Um, due to health reasons at the time, they couldn't lay down on the table.
Speaker 1:And I'm on my knees and I am holding energy over his knees right, and I'm channeling spirit and I'm asking all of his guides, all of my guides, and I asked Jesus to come into every session and and I could feel the presence. But it's different when he, like, shows up, shows up, and so I'm in there and all of a sudden, my eyes are closed A lot of times during these sessions. I'm not sure why I do that. It just, I don't know. It helps me in the zone, I guess, but it's kind of an automatic thing In the session. I'm closing my eyes, even thinking about it. I am shining on my face. I mean, there's not words on this earthly realm of how to describe the brightness, the most beautiful, incredible feeling shining light. I don't even know how to describe it. I'm struggling now.
Speaker 1:And I felt the softest touch on my chin and I opened my eyes about halfway. I feel like I knew right away it was Jesus in my heart. I feel like I knew right away it was Jesus in my heart. But when I half opened my eyes, I could see Jesus right in front of me and he placed his hand. He very gently lifted up my chin to look at him, y'all. It took away my voice, it took away any feeling in my body. I it was. It was insane, anyway. So he said. He only said a couple words. He kept his hand on my chin and made intention that my face was looking upward, drawing attention to my awareness that my head had been down. And he said my child. I did not give you these gifts for you to hide them. Oh, here we go again. I'm going to cry again.
Speaker 1:When I go back to that moment. I can feel the warmth inside of me. I could not talk for like at least 15 minutes. I was so mesmerized, dumbfounded, blown away, just wow, wow. And when I reflected on it later, it really made me think about my fears around, honestly, around Christians, and I am a Christian. I do believe in Jesus, I believe in God, I believe in Mother Mary, but my fear around the judgment of other people to believe and thinking I am crazy or I am doing terrible work, or. And then it's like I, I go to spirit about it and uh. And then I have a moment where I'm like hold up, this is Jesus. Like if I got a direct message from Jesus about the gifts that were given to me. Why, in any shape or form, should I be worried about what anyone else is saying, what is going on? I like I spoke to, like the man, like hello, right.
Speaker 1:And when I think of all of you listening, every single person was given gifts, every person like it's, it's just the way it is. People were given gifts. We don't always know what they are. We don't always know how to do them, maybe at the beginning, on a superficial level, I should say, because there is a knowing deep inside of us that often takes over when we get ourselves in flow, when we are staying in alignment, when we are continuing to go back to our heart. We can feel it. We can feel it and I want you guys to know. You were given those gifts for a reason. You were given those gifts for a reason and, like Jesus told me, it wasn't to hide them. It was to help humankind, it was to help animals, it was to help raise the vibration in some shape or form.
Speaker 1:Your gifts are, in my experience, often linked to what brings you joy. You can feel how amazing you feel when you're doing what you're meant to do, and you can really feel when you're doing stuff you're not meant to do, when you get yourself in tune, when you're going through the robotic motions, which is so easy to do. I get it because you feel like I got to do this, this and this, like I just have to make it through the end of the day. I got to make it till Friday, and then it becomes next week and you're like, okay, okay, I got to make it till Friday. If you work a weekend situation, okay, I got to make it to Monday. And we're like always waiting for the end. How jacked up is that we're? So many of us are living our lives waiting till the end, the end of the day, the end of the week. Once I hit retirement, once my kids get older, once I moved to a different state, once I were just waiting for all of these different things.
Speaker 1:I think we are being called so strongly right now. The world needs you to use your gifts. The world needs you, you to use the gifts you were given without fear of judgment. So I challenge you, as I continue to challenge myself, to trust the process, to know that when we start to get more and more clear of our role in this world, when we start to learn more about how to be our authentic self, to learn more about how to be our authentic self and to know that we can be safe in being our authentic self, wow, we have the ability to make this world a better place.
Speaker 1:I know so often it's a cliche it starts with one, it starts with one, but it does, it does, and as a reminder every time you take a minute to heal something within yourself, you are helping the collective as a whole. You are not just doing something to help and to heal yourself, you are helping all of us along this journey, because it changes your vibration. It changes the frequency that you carry every time you're able to heal something. So I also urge you to go in, go in and show yourself love, hold your hand on your heart, tell yourself I love you, I love you, I love you. And when you say that, picture your higher self. Your higher self is this version of you that doesn't. I'm not even sure if they don't have awareness of all the exterior, but they don't. They don't. There's no concern of judgment, fear, none of the negative stuff are surrounding the higher self. So when you think of your higher self, it's you, but it's you being fully you, authentically you, without any barriers, right? So I want you to think of that version of you, looking at you so lovingly, also saying I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you. Your spirit team as well is forever surrounding you, telling you how much they love you, how much they support you, how much they want to help you along this journey. They want to help you to tune in along this journey. They want to help you to tune in.
Speaker 1:One of the ways that kind of helped me initially to when I wanted to tune in, I had got some angel oracle cards. There's several, several different kinds, and you can just look online. Hay House has a ton of them that are amazing. A lot of crystal shops carry them and I felt like they really helped me start to build a practice of connecting. So what I would do is I found a deck that I really liked, that felt really good to me or I felt drawn to, and I would bring that home. And so, for instance, I would like start in the morning and I always knock the deck three times, like just knock, knock, knock on top of the deck and kind of gives me a sense of it. It's cleared from the day before or yesterday or whatever, and and then I would pick up the cards and I would shuffle them around and and it's kind of tricky shuffling them because they're kind of big cards, so you just kind of pick some up, push them in different places, or you can do like I used to do before as well, like old school, like lay them on a table, spread them all out and just move them around, and move them around until you get them all mixed up and just kind of feel over and grab a card.
Speaker 1:But before you grab the card, so in the process of you like shuffling and everything, ask spirit what is one thing you want me to work on today? Or you can ask spirit, what is your message for me today? You can ask is there a message about something I'm missing? Some food for thought I'm missing, some wisdom I'm missing, or something like that. Really, you can ask it anything to be honest, but just for guidance, kind of to start with, like hey, just for guidance, kind of to start with like hey, spirit, will you please give me a card representing guidance for today, what I need most for today, and pick a card, read the message, kind of watch the card, look into the card, like look at all the different pieces on the card, look at all the different colors, look at all the different pieces on the card, look at all the different colors, look at all the different shapes, and kind of stop for a minute and think if I'm looking at this card and you can do this before you look up the reading or after you look up the reading.
Speaker 1:But it's kind of fun to do it before you look up the reading and be like, if I was just looking at this picture, what would I think is being relayed to me, like, well, let's see, there's a female in this picture and her face she looks very peaceful, but in her body she's really scrunched up. Hmm, I wonder what that would relate to me. Okay, and I see a lot of colors in the background, but the biggest amount of color is blue or something like that. Okay, okay, well, it looks like there's a little animal in the corner too. So, maybe something with nature, you know, and kind of just like, analyze the card and see if you get anything out of it by looking at the card. I recommend doing that every single time because that also brings your awareness more clear, right? So you're really being present with that card and with connecting with spirit so they can give you the best message that they can for that day.
Speaker 1:Okay, I feel like I've talked to you guys, as you're off today, but I feel much better, thank you. I do feel so much better and Spirit is saying why do you feel so much better, justina. You feel so much better because you started to grab onto the things that you're passionate about. You started to grab onto the things that make you feel alive and you started to reactivate your heart. You got back in your heart, out of your head, and now I can go about my day knowing that, yes, I am quitting my day job, my job I've had for a while, my security, my all of that but I am stepping into what I was meant to do fully and I have support to do that. I'm not alone, and I'm so incredibly grateful that I'm not walking this world alone, and you're not either and, oh my goodness, the little cardinal bird is back and just flying back and forth in front of me from tree to tree. Oh, thank you, wow. Thank you all so much for showing up, for listening to me, so much for showing up for listening to me, for taking a minute to look into doing some of these practices that I recommend, for starting to show more love to you and for being reminded of how loved you are. All right, guys. You guys have a great day and we will talk soon. Bye, hey, everyone.
Speaker 1:I wanted to take a quick second and say thank you, thank you, thank you. I'm so grateful for you, thank you for listening to this podcast and I want to take a minute and ask for a quick favor. If, when you're listening to an episode, if you could please just take a second, place your hand on your heart and take a deep breath in through your nose and a long exhale out of your mouth and just set the intention to send love and light to every single person listening, right now, yesterday and in the future. I think together we just might be able to raise the vibration of this world. I'm so excited and please follow me on Instagram at AngelReikiJourney.
