Hello 👋🏽 I’m looking for any advice on managing/preserving my energy as a channeler. I get extremely tired after I channel and sometimes channeling happens at random so I get hit with waves of tiredness at inconvenient times (can’t always nap in the middle of the day). Also, as an ancestral medium who lives close to family, there’s always folks around wanting to talk/say something. Open to anything and appreciate any guidance or tips 🙏🏽
I have been working roots more and deepening my knowledge of them. Shoutout to Jah again for the library. I have been religiously referencing The Native American Handbook, Papa Jim’s Workbook, Plant Witchery, and The Voodoo Hoodoo Spellbook.
Something else I’ve been doing is asking my ancestors if the Tarot can provide more understanding of each herb. It has been so illuminating! I recommend divining on the herbs with your ancestors. It makes it all the more personal to our lineage.
I have been collecting any information I can about my family history. However, due to slavery, it is mostly anecdotal.
I have gathered up to five generations for my maternal grandmother and six generations for my maternal grandfather. It has been a progressive and eye-opening journey.
I pray that this is motivation and encouragement for others researchers!
Be patient. Don’t get discouraged.
It is possible to mend ancestral fractures.
It is possible to collect your history, and as a result, strengthen your workings.
Thank you for sharing this! I don't think people see the journey. Only the end so it's important to remember that it takes time, for all of us. 🙏🏾
Okay so I recently (like a couple of weeks ago) was part of a group divination with Harmony Phoenix and I was told that I connect with my ancestors through dreaming. I was also told that having a glass of water near either the foot or head of my bed with a mirror facing away from the glass would help facilitate and protect my dreams. The other day I pulled my water glass out from under my bed and I saw that the waterline was lower than what was in there originally and it was cloudy. What does that mean?
you definitely have to have boundaries in both realms. just bc you are a medium does not mean you owe it to everyone to be the messenger all day at the expense of your energy. having a great relationship with your ori will help you decipher between “they definitely need to hear this” & something that can be relayed through other forms. make sure you keep up your hygiene, including an energy clearing spray for on the go along with a protection charm. get consistent 8hrs of sleep if possible. it’s really a learning curve, but if you don’t do this professionally, definitely give yourself more leniency.
mentioning boundaries again, make sure you aren’t allowing anybody in any realm to use you. energy exchanges are necessary. it can be as simple as a heartfelt thank you or helping you pay a due bill, it all depends, but do not constantly show you are willing to squander your energy for little to nothing, you deserve to be compensated. i have been a professional ancestral medium about 5 yrs & learned that the long way lol. hope this helps, blessings & light to you on your journey.
