Spiritual Reflections

Awakening- Be in Charge!

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:

1.  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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. 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.

Emotional Baggage and Boundaries

 


A few days ago I got back from a really incredible trip to Southeast Asia. While I was there, I got to thinking about the constant evolution of life. As a living, breathing life force, every moment is moving us in one direction or another. Nothing stays the same forever, yet we can feel so much resistance to change. If we’re in a place of feeling good, we often want things to stay exactly as they are…except they never do. And when that change unwillingly occurs, we feel let down, betrayed, and abandoned. We think to ourselves, “never making that mistake again”. So we try our hardest to avoid anything that will open that old wound. Then we wonder why we’re not really satisfied with our relationships.

What prompted this reflection was that over the course of my trip, a man from my past went from being in the shadows of my life to front and center. This guy left me feeling emotionally wounded when our paths veered away years ago. And yet, here I was, finding myself having to adjust from my comfortable stance of keeping him out of sight and mind, to daily contact. There was quite a bit of reorienting to my new circumstances. It took no time at all for my mind to replay the laundry list of all the previous wrongdoings against me. Note, at this point, I wasn’t really considering my role in the relationship. Instead, as an automatic, fear-based reaction, I could feel the walls of defence going up. Hey guys, I’m here. Just peering over this thick, dense wall I have built up around me. Sup? This is where grounding and breathing exercises can be helpful to bring yourself back to the present moment to regroup. Ya know, before you need a wrecking crew to knock down that damn wall of defense.

I found a two-stage process most helpful for getting myself feeling like I was back calling the shots in my life, rather than being sucked into past stories and hurt. This was something that just kind of came together when given enough time and space.

First, I had to check the weight of my emotional baggage. Because, damn, it can get heavy if you don’t shed some layers every now and then! We accumulate emotional baggage when we cling to our attachments-our perception that things should have somehow played out differently. Maybe we feel that letting go of past hurt will somehow diminish the significance of it. Maybe we don’t believe we have the capacity to bring all this hurt to the surface. It’ll be too much, too painful. So instead, we keep that hurt locked up deep down. And in the meantime, it festers, it grows, it weighs us down, and shuts us off. An honest check in with myself about what I was still carrying that was no longer serving me, and I knew I had some work to do.

Emotional baggage often occurs when there has been a violation of our boundaries in some way. Physically, emotionally, whatever. With this man coming into my life again, it quickly became clear I needed to reestablish boundaries. Old dynamics and ways of relating weren’t going to work anymore. I mean, they didn’t really work in the first place. This is where we again have the ability to choose and create. People can understand that they’ve hurt you, but no one is a mind reader. It is up to us to assert our boundaries and make our needs known in order to feel safe and secure in our relationships. This requires us to shift out of a victim stance.  What role do we play in the dynamic? Be honest with yourself about the needs and desires you’re trying to get met and how you’re going about it.

Boundaries can be tricky. It’s a balance between the ebb and flow of contraction and expansion as we sometimes feel open and at ease, and other times closed off and guarded. It requires adjustment as we navigate our ever evolving reality, and it requires trusting our intuition. I am certain of one thing-the foundation for strong boundaries is strong self-worth.

What I learned from this experience was how beautiful it can be to let go of old perceptions of others, and yourself. Be open to new ways of relating to old faces and you may be surprised at what possibilities have been waiting for you on the other side of fear. Healing old wounds has helped me show up for myself, and my relationships, with a fresh ability to be more present. As someone who believes nothing is coincidental, I would like to thank this man for showing back up to teach me another valuable lesson on my path.

Untangling the Threads


Imagine you have a big ball of wool made up of different colours and lengths. The cat finds it one day and plays with it until it is a tangled mess. Now you have some work to do to untangle it all and get it in order.! Some of the threads have become knotted, while other threads have managed to stay separated

Now look at your life like a big ball of wool. Every area of your life, each one a thread, could be attributed to a colour, and of course, each of the threads are intertwined and linked. However, what if some threads of your life are so tangled that you cannot see the beginning or ending, let alone know where you are right now? What if, in the tangle, something important is missed and opportunities, friendships or relationships are lost?

Of course, life is not a ball of wool. But there are often invisible threads holding us to the past or areas of our life that no longer serve us. Sometimes, we may be aware of them, but other times they may be insidious and sabotaging without us knowing. If you are finding it difficult to overcome something, to embrace change or to make a fresh start, this may be the case for you.

It is possible, also, for different areas of your life to become intertwined, making life more complicated, if not more meaningful. Ties can be made  with others through work or sport, for instance, that create long-lasting friendships and memories. However, if these ties become frayed or strained, it can affect us in other parts of our lives, such as in our health through stress, anger or grief.

Life cannot be compartmentalised, although many people try. Separating work life from one’s personal life may give privacy and a sense of self away from a public profile.  However, it is not always possible and the threads inevitable become intertwined.

It is the connections people make that often deepen and enrich their experiences and thus their learning.  Connecting the threads of our lives with others can be either incredibly fulfilling or create untold dramas., trauma and grief. If any threads become so old that they are irrelevant, they can just be causing clutter of the mind and should be released.

How tangled are the threads of your life? What threads from the past need releasing, and what new ones can be introduced to keep you on track? Reflection, meditation and journalling may help you to examine the threads, or areas of your life that are not aligned and that need healing or releasing.

I AM Archangel Uriel.

Self-Mastery is the Key

If it is true that the world is a stage and humans are the players, then what is the play and what is the script? Has humanity stuck to it, or have they lost their way and are now improvising their parts? In the midst of seeming chaos, anarchy and uproar, where does the individual ‘actor’ fit amongst a play whose stage is the Earth and whose cast are strangers? How can each individual regain control and play their part according to the script when so many are making a muck of it?!

Yes, every one of you, dear hearts, is an actor in this play called ‘Life’ and your script has been written within your soul. A copy resides within the Akashic Records, and it is also known amongst your soul family. When you were born, you came in with a certainty and knowing of the lessons you had chosen to learn and the difference you wanted to make.

Depending on the love and nurturing you either received or were denied, you stuck to the script and stayed aligned to your truth, or you strayed from the path through neglect, abuse, indoctrination or unresolved trauma. Whether life up to now has seemed within or entirely outside of your control, the only way to ensure that fulfilment and inner happiness is to achieve a depth of self-mastery. No matter how far down the path of life you are, you are in charge of the script and now is the time to review and make changes, even rewrite it if necessary. It is never too late, my loves, to clean up your act and deliver the best performance of your life!

Self-mastery does not mean that you must be good at everything or a specialist at anything. The term self-mastery simply means that you have taken control of your emotional trauma and mental anguish and become much more mindful of how you think, act and respond to the triggers that have led you to feel helpless, angry, insecure or lonely. It involves taking responsibility for how other people make you feel, because the way you react or respond is entirely due to the way you view yourself, your worth, whether you like and respect yourself and your perspective on how others in the world see and treat you. Once you can pinpoint the patterns of thoughts and behaviour that uncover your trauma and insecurities, fallacies and illusions will begin to fally away and you can begin the process of making positive changes to your life.

Facing your truth and being honest with yourself may be harder than you realise, but hiding behind a curtain of lies is never going to lead you to a starring role in your own play! It is time to take off the makeup and costumes, leave the stage for a while and study the script that is leading you to heartache, loneliness, financial ruin and untold grief. Are you being true to yourself? When the audience is gone, the only person you need to please and like is yourself.

Now is the time, dear ones, to become your own self-master, reveal your true identity to yourself and embrace the person you have always been underneath the costumes, makeup and façade. Only you can change your life and there has never been a better time to do it than now!

WE ARE Archangel Michael and the one you know as Jesus.  VC

  

Grounding 5-4-3-2-1



Anxiety affects people for many reasons, but not being grounded can be a major factor. Being grounded basically means that your mind is present and that you are not distracted by other things. Ungrounded people can be extremely distracted and not remember something they have done 5 minutes ago. They can start a job and then move to another without finishing the first. Ungrounded people are more likely to be in their head a lot, worry about the future or past and are likely to have an accident because there are rushing and not being mindful!

The 5-4-3-2-1 technique may be useful if you are stressed, anxious and can’t calm your mind.

5: Name five things you can see

4. Name four things you can hear

3. Name three things you can feel

2. Name two things you can smell

1 Name 1 thing you can taste.

It may also be worthwhile breathing your energy down through your body, zipping up your energy and taking a moment to centre.  VC


The Last Word


What is Remote Viewing?



Remote Viewing is a clairvoyant technique that allows the person or practitioner to take their ‘sight’ out of their body and over another person or object. The viewer can read the energy of a target in their mind without being there. Wikipedia says that the practice is rooted in parapsychology, but there is no evidence that it exists. Well, I’m here to tell you that it does, because I do it in all of my readings and healings! It is how I can read for people in Germany, Cairns or in Hobart online.

When I became aware of my spiritual gifts and learned to meditate, I suddenly became aware of my natural clairvoyance, because I could see what was happening as the angels and masters came to me. I was first introduce to Remote Viewing by another psychic, who asked me to tune into her, and I could see she had swollen ankles.

There have been a few times where I have used it to see where my family is, to check in on a friend’s son who broke his arm, or to find another friend’s lost cat. I saw it in a garage and that is where they found it! Mostly, though, I use it to go over my clients’ heads to read their energy and get a feeling for what has been happening for them. I see everything with my third eye, but never tune in until I am given permission, because it is intrusive and against spiritual law.

Can this practice be taught? Yes, I do think so, but having a clairvoyant ability is an advantage. The way I enhance my remote viewing clairvoyance is to immerse myself into the energy to see its colour and to feel into the energy of it. I can also see how far back in someone’s life it goes. While I don’t get the story, the energy of heartbreak, grief or loss, for instance, is usually unmistakeable.

When I was first learning how to do it, I would ‘dissolve’ my energy in the 7th plane, or universal Creator  energy before launching my energy onto the target. Now I always go to the Creator first, because it is unconditional and the best protection from picking up other people’s energy, and then project my sight energy onto their crown. If I am doing Reiki, I can actually sit my sight energy on the ceiling and look down.

So yes, Remote Viewing is a thing and my most useful tool for ‘seeing’ unseen energy, entities, emotional trauma and angels.

Just recently I was shown another technique for remote viewing akin to ’palming’ which you may like to try.

Close your eyes. Put your arms out in front of you with your palms facing upwards and towards you. Imagine your eyes are in the palm of each hand and project your energy to them to look back at yourself.

Good luck! VC

Testimonials for Victoria Cochrane

Hi Victoria,

I came upon your website today through the website Medium. I've read a number of your channeled messages today and have found all to be resonant with what I've been told, in addition to much that I knew immediately to be true when reading it. Thank you for the work that you're doing. 

I am in a transformational time in my life (isn't everyone on Earth at this time?) and started consistently channeling about 8-9 months ago. At first it was only during medicine work, but now I can pretty reliably make that connection without it. Initially, it was my guides, then occasionally a group called "the council", and recently I received a powerful message from Archangel Michael. I have been told many times recently that I am meant to be a channel. And I have been struggling to get my head around it. I've thought why me? This isn't a job. Etc, etc. I read this on your website today and I really felt the Truth in it - 

All angelic and higher realm frequencies MUST be grounded through a human body in order to make a positive impact on Earth. Accordingly, only those people who have begun the process of awakening or whose soul has achieved a level of mastery in a previous lifetime (and agreed to assist humanity as part of their soul evolvement) can withstand the energy of etheric beings without becoming frightened, unwell or misled.

 

I felt something shift energetically in me. There was more of an acceptance of what is, what I am. So I thought I would reach out and see what comes of that
