Have you started soul searching and connecting with other energies? Do you know how to protect yourself?   Today we talk with medium Bill Philipps, whose life work is to help people deal with the grief of losing loved ones by bringing through validations, evidential information, and beautiful messages from Spirit to help them heal.   Listen in to hear about how we are all connected energetically with each other, our deceased loved ones, and guides, how to protect yourself when opening up to the other side, and the importance of knowing your energy and committing to spiritual practices. Topics We Discuss:   [1:35] The Spiritual Web. It’s a committee of passed loved ones, spirit guides, and ascended masters that we are connected to energetically. It’s subtle energy that requires deep presence and awareness to perceive. Once you know what your energy feels like, you can more easily discern when you’re dealing with other energy.   [6:15] Different Types of Energies. When you tune into your psychic senses, you can notice different energies. Our spirit team is always leaving signs for us, and it’s up to us to notice it.   [12:08] Negative Energies & Spiritual Protection. Dark spirits are manipulative, so they can be hard to discern. Bill noticed he would feel nauseous and heavy and hear a lot of derogatory language in his head when he connected with dark energies. Visualization and imagination are where your baseline of protection comes from. Imagine being surrounded by white light.   [18:21] Intention-Setting & Mantras. Connecting with Spirit and working in the unseen realms requires accountability for your thoughts and feelings and your power to change your state. Starting your day with positive intentions makes it easier to go back to that state during the day. Mantras go hand-in-hand with intentions.   [22:05] Noticing Spirit. Communication often comes during very human moments as reminders that we’re not alone and that there’s more to all of this.   [24:21] Cord-Cutting vs Boundary-Setting. Energetic cords form between ourselves and people we interact with, and sometimes unpleasant or traumatic experiences. Cord-cutting requires you setting an intention to separate yourself from a person, but it’s something you have to repeat and solidify. You have to set a physical boundary along with cutting a cord.   [28:53] Medium Readings & Spirit Guides. The messages in Bill’s readings apply in the future outside of the session, because it’s energy. Some deceased loved ones are guides, but not all guides are loved ones.   [32:20] Messages from Bill’s New Book. You are so powerful and you are here to create your heaven on earth. There’s so much more to life than paying bills and dying. It’s about truly living life.   [33:30] What Happens When We Transition? We evaluate our earthly experiences and what lessons we did or didn’t learn. We also create the experiences we wanted on earth or loved to do on earth, but maybe weren’t able to have or do.    *********************************************** SUPPORT DR.
