What prevents you from acting upon your inner (Divine) guidance?

So … you have been hearing, feeling, seeing, or knowing your inner guidance, your Angels, your Divine guidance, then: what is preventing you from acting upon it?

Been there, done that! See my blogpost on Following your heart.

It is not easy to suddenly trust a heart whisper … to answer to a deeper calling that will change you entire life … to turn off your mind and do the most illogical thing … or to simply trust the path ahead even without seeing where it leads or knowing the “how” …

What my readers say regarding blocks from following their inner guidance:

Fears, anxiety, past traumas, a toxic situation, not seeing a “path”, feeling unworthy, overthinking, and “what others will think?” were the main reasons my readers can’t follow through with their inner guidance.

The 9 most common blocks to you acting upon your inner guidance

1. fear of change

It is often the case that your life will change dramatically if you start following your Divine guidance, almost as if you were stepping unto a different pathway than the one you were on. The Divine always tries to steer you back to the original plan, your Soul’s blueprint for your life on Earth, away from societal expectations, conditionings, karma, past-life contracts, and more … So when you start trusting your inner voice above the outside noise, your life may change dramatically and abruptly without you knowing where you will end up, making it very brave to follow through with your Divine guidance.

2. overthinking and rationalizing

The heart feels and the mind begs to understand. Very often, Divine guidance is more a feeling than a well thought-out plan, and your mind starts to find reasons why not to follow your heart. While you are overthinking, you start to loose the initial “feeling”, the initial spark of Divine Light, and your guidance starts to fade away. Then you listen to others who also have an opinion as to why it would be stupid/dangerous/reckless to follow your heart and your inner guidance ends up buried at the back of your mind, until the next awakening, the next nudge, the next spark.

3. fear of failure

You know what to do but you don’t think you can do it, that it is too much of an ask for you, that you won’t succeed anyway. Why start creating something or making a change in your life if at the end you are going to fail anyway?

4. fear of being unworthy

You know what to do but you are not feeling worthy of receiving the benefits that come with you following your inner guidance, for ex. acclaim, or abundance, or an upgraded life. You may distract yourself by trying to make yourself worthy, by getting more education/coaching in, or loosing weight, or changing something in your life unrelated to what your inner guidance is steering you towards.

5. fear of punishment, of backlash

You know what to do but when you start taking a decision, making a change, creating a shift, something negative happens and you immediately want to backtrack. This backlash is a well-known phenomenon that results from you raising your vibration and embracing a higher path, in turn leading to a purge, slow or swift, of your lower vibrations patterns, toxic or outdated relationships, situations, etc. People might turn against you, as you might be obliging them to confront their own truths. You might face a deep emotional purging, leading to fatigue along with physical pain or disease, and/or more. This “backlash” is normal and not a punishment from the Divine.

6. fear of being judged / shamed

You know what to do but you fear being judged or shamed as a result. That is actually a fear of being seen as you truly are on a Soul level. You are afraid of embodying your Divine Truth, your Soul essence.

7. worries about “how” and worries about money

You know what to do but you are waiting for the “perfect” time to start, or you think you first need to receive the money before taking any action step, or you are trying to do everything perfectly, with no mistake, and end up doing nothing. Or you are trying to start too big too fast and end up failing when you cannot sustain the energy needed.

8. not being safe, being exhausted, or overwhelmed from current situation

You know what to do but you just can’t: your current situation is not supporting you. Your family is not supportive or someone negative or toxic or dangerous is around you. Or you feel overwhelmed and are not being able to get out of emotional chaos. You can’t seem to relax and release negative feelings, fear, and anxiety. Or you have too much inner chatter, second-guessing yourself, and drowning in other people’s opinions. You are neglecting your physical body. You are not being grounded. You are on the verge of burnout.

9. fear of not receiving guidance later on or misinterpreting the guidance

You know what to do but you feel alone on your path. You have received a clear vision of what needs changing in your life, or what wants to be created from your being, your Soul, but you are afraid that as time will come to take action steps, you will be all alone and the Divine will no support you. No help. No guidance. Or you are afraid that you will misinterpret your Divine guidance and mess up your whole life.

How to overcome your blocks regarding acting upon your inner guidance:

You will need to work on three aspects: (1) deep emotional healing and release, (2) deepening your connection to the Divine (and your Divine self, your guides, etc.), and (3) grounding and physical self-care.

Acknowledge what you have received, even if you don’t act upon it: don’t shy away from the intuitive, Divine messages you have received, seen, felt, heard, or known. Don’t bury them away from your consciousness. Instead acknowledge, like: “It seems that you want me to […], but I am not sure I can/want/am good enough/am worthy, etc. But I feel what you mean.”

Energy clearing: give away your worries, fears, anxiety, and blocks to your Angels, the Archangels, and your guides, for release. See various on-line meditations on Angel healing, or just trust yourself. See also my downloadable Fire releasing ceremony with AA Michael. Journal everything. Repeat as many times as needed as new fears, new blocks, new emotions arise.

Face your shadows: your deep-seated fears, your karmic blocks, your ego, your hatred for yourself are all part of your shadow. If you are willing to follow your Divine guidance, then you are in a phase of your life where you are setting yourself free, perhaps for the first time in centuries, by moving beyond cultural expectations, familial curses and blocks, karmic wounds, etc. Work with your Angels and guides to release your shackles to the past and do some healing work on yourself. Give yourself some self-love and support all during this time.

Look specifically into past-life healing: as you are trying to move beyond your current situation, chances are past-life issues will rise up to the surface for clearing and healing, such as blocks, traumas, unresolved fears, anxiety, physical pain, patterns you can’t seem to shed, and more. You have the power to release your karmic blocks in this lifetime.

Put up clear boundaries with others: protect yourself from naysayers and toxic people in your life who benefit from keeping you small, who are actively trying to prevent you from following your inner guidance. Consciously release your need for external validation as painful as it may be at the beginning.

Forgive yourself: forgive yourself for not being enough, not being worthy, not being knowledgeable, not being better, not being “perfect”, for being less than, for being too {…}. None of this matters to the Divine nor to your Soul.

Surrender the “how”: trust that the Divine will show you a way … if you take a small step forward first. Release the money worries, things have a way to sort themselves out when it is meant to be. Release the outcome: you don’t need to see the end of the path to know that it is the right path to follow. Where there is a Divine will, there is a Divine way.

There is no perfect time: it is not too late. You are good enough. Nothing in life is perfect. This is just fear speaking, take a one small step and see. What is meant for you will not pass by you.

Witness the “backlash” and move through it: Backlash is normal and temporary. It just means that you have raised your vibrations and life around you is adjusting and catching up. Trust that outdated, toxic relationships, or patterns, or jobs, hobbies, etc. will leave your life to be replaced by something better, something aligned to your new vibrations.

Reject perfection, embrace mistakes: life is messy; even if you follow your Divine guidance “perfectly”, nothing on Earth is really perfect. We are all perfectly Divine and perfectly human at once. Mistakes are a just way to move forward while in the process of releasing your blocks and fears.

Get all the parts of you that are not onboard, onboard: for ex. your inner child might be afraid, or your physical body may be exhausted, or your mind is resisting, or a version of you wants to follow “traditions”, a karmic vow, a familial curse, etc. Reconcile all parts of you and move in one direction.

Embrace daily practices to connect deeper and deeper to your Divine guidance: connecting to your inner guidance is natural but it can be greatly improved with training and commitment, such as pulling oracle cards or tarot everyday, meditating regularly focusing on your heart center, going in Nature, learning to be present in your body not distracted, practicing being alone, journaling, grounding, and more.

Ask for signs along the way: understand that your initial guidance or your initial understanding of your Divine guidance may change as your path unfolds and you get a more nuanced understanding of your purpose.

Feel the Love, you are a child from the Divine: trust that no matter what happens, no matter how many mistakes you make, or how much pushback your receive, you are still guided, protected and Loved by the Divine.

Commit to your path: once you start, dedicate yourself, make a commitment to yourself or your guides that whatever happens, you will still show up, you will still do the work. There will be a way, there will be miracles, there will be support. Understand that reprogramming your mind, or upgrading your life, or releasing your karma take some time and you might even feel like going backward for a bit, and that this is a normal path. Choose devotion for yourself and your Divine self.

Celebrate your (small) steps forward, victories, and achievements: give yourself some love continuously throughout this process. Forgive yourself for all the missteps, missed opportunities and more. Celebrate yourself for just showing up and being willing.

Ground: grounding in your body, in Nature, taking care of your physical health will give your Soul the vehicle she needs to fulfill her life purpose here on Earth. Self-love is devotion to the Divine part of you.

reading + healing

I am currently offering on my Ko-fi page:

Archangel Alchemy Healing: Transmute unnecessary worries and attachments with the Angels & Archangels! ✨🔥

During the reading, we will ask the Archangels, your Angels and guides:

- - what healing you need the most in your life, at this moment,
  - what blocks, or wounds, are actually preventing you from moving forward,
  - what changes you could implement in your daily life to help claim your healing,
  - what is the next step for you, if you are ready … 🪔

Together, we will release what no longer serves you, the lies you tell yourself, and the lies you have absorbed from others, and replace them by your own Divine Truth. 🔥

During the healing, I am only the witness, the channeler, and I will write down everything I see and feel and know, to send it to you. We will let the Archangels and your guides work on your energy body, clear your aura, cut cords, release blocks, and transmute heavy energy where it is needed, infuse you with Divine Love & Light, and more. ✨❤️‍🔥

Past-lives Healing with the Angels: Free yourself from past-lives trauma.

During a past-lives healing, I surround myself with Archangelic Light and ask your guides to show me glimpses of your past-lives that resonate into your present life.

The Angels usually bring me back to 2 past-lives:

1. with a trauma still echoing in your life today. A situation that needs healing and releasing. To let go of the shame and the fear. To send Love back to this part of you that had suffered so much.

2. with a spiritual blessing, a gift you had acquired and developed in another life that wants to come back to you so you can be whole again.

As you become aware of the past, a release can start, your own exploration of your Divine essence can continue with your guides at your side.

During the healing, the Archangels would perform a healing on your energy body, cutting cords, clearing up your aura, releasing blocks, imbuing your energy with Love & Light, sending you dreams and messages so you can be more of yourself in your daily life. your work, your relationships, and more. ✨❤️‍🔥

Life Purpose & Abundance Angel reading + healing: Tune into your Divine Abundance and Divine Life Purpose so you can create a heart-centered life.

As the world is shifting, so are we shifting internally and embodying more and more of our Divine Light into our physical body, more and more of our Soul into our lives, and more and more of our true Soul essence into our daily lives, our purpose, our work, our creations, etc. You may feel the need to realign various aspects of your life so you can follow the direction of your Soul, your true North. You may feel the need to recalibrate your thinking, to move in a different way, to switch careers, or to find new ways to work, rest, and play, new ways of making and spending money, to create something new …

During the reading, we will tune in to the Angels & the Archangels and your guides to ask what is your life purpose at this time, in what direction should you go, and how to release your heart’s desires out into the world. Then we will tune into your abundance and ask if there are any blocks around receiving Divine abundance into your life and on how you can move through your current challenges at this time.

During the healing, we will let the Archangels and your guides, work on your energy body, by clearing your aura, cutting cords, releasing blocks, or transmuting energy as they want. We will make space for you to connect to your true Soul essence and Divine guidance. ✨❤️‍🔥
