Stop Trying to Be Spiritual

One of the first things I pay attention to when someone tells me they can’t trust their intuition is what they’re asking it to do. Take “Should I leave this relationship?” That’s a lot to put on one message. Even if something comes through, you’re probably already wondering whether you heard what you wanted to hear. In this episode, I walk you through what I’d ask instead and how that can give you more clarity to make your own choice. I used to get caught in that same loop of “Am I right? Am I making this up?” What helped me was treating my practice like a science experiment. I started paying attention to what happened in my body when I tried to force an answer, what my own energy felt like compared to my guides’, and which impressions made more sense with time. That’s how I built evidence I could actually come back to when I doubted myself. If you’re already picking up on things and then talking yourself out of them, this is where I can help. In one-on-one mentorship, we’ll work with what you’re actually receiving. I’ll help you slow down the moment you start to second-guess it, get curious about what you felt, and figure out what to practice next so you can build trust in how you receive.

I used to call on Archangel Michael constantly, worry about being tricked by spirit, and question my connection whenever I couldn’t feel my guides like I usually did. I don’t approach my spirituality that way anymore. In part two of the spiritual beliefs I’ve changed, I’m sharing my perspective on spiritual protection, the idea that spirits get stuck, and why seeing something psychically doesn’t mean you have the full message. We’re also talking about the pressure to always feel connected—and what changed when I stopped making every quieter day mean something was wrong. If you want support understanding your intuitive abilities, working through fear, and receiving clearer messages. Work 1 on 1 with me HERE: Mentorship. — Laila Taylor

There comes a point in your spiritual awakening when another meditation, another reading, or another spiritual experience isn't going to create the change you're looking for. You can be deeply intuitive, connected to your spirit guides, and have spent years doing the work, yet still find yourself living in the same patterns, questioning yourself, and feeling disconnected from the life you know you're meant to live. I know because I've been there. In this episode, we're talking about the part of spiritual awakening that asks something much deeper of you. The shadow work, the anger you've suppressed, the ways you've learned to perform for love and safety, and the radical responsibility it takes to finally become who you're here to be. Because at some point, it's no longer about receiving more messages from Spirit. It's about what you're willing to change within yourself. If you're ready to go deeper into your intuition, healing, and spiritual development, you can explore working with me through one-on-one mentorship at www.lailataylor.com.

When I first had my spiritual awakening in 2018, there were so many things I believed about energy, Spirit, psychic abilities, and what it actually meant to be spiritually evolved. Eight years later, I see a lot of those things very differently. In Part 1, I'm sharing some of the biggest beliefs I've had to unlearn. From thinking every energy I felt was Spirit trying to communicate with me, to believing I needed Spirit's permission to make decisions, to thinking that seeing the soul behind someone's hurtful behavior was the most loving thing I could do. We're talking about discernment, boundaries, trusting yourself, and why developing psychic abilities doesn't automatically heal the parts of you that are still struggling. Because sometimes spiritual growth isn't about learning more. It's about questioning what you've been taught and discovering what's actually true for you. If you're ready to develop your intuition, connect with your spirit guides, and learn how to consciously work with your energy, explore my mentorship and courses at www.lailataylor.com. Part 2 is coming next week!

If your spirit guides are here to help, why won’t they just tell you what to do? I’ve wanted that too. Tell me which choice to make. Tell me it’s going to work. Give me the whole picture so I can stop questioning myself. In this episode, we’re talking about what your spirit guides are actually here to do, why expecting a complete plan can leave you feeling let down, and how to ask questions that help you understand yourself and your choices more clearly. I share how this showed up when I left nursing to do spiritual work full time, and how I’ve leaned on guidance through family grief without knowing how everything would unfold. You can be supported and still be the one who decides. If you’re ready to understand how your intuition speaks and build your own connection with your spirit guides, explore my mentorship and one-on-one sessions. More info HERE: www.lailataylor.com

What if the energy you’re afraid of isn’t actually attacking you? One of the biggest fears I see during a spiritual awakening is: What if I’m being deceived? What if I’m connecting to something bad? What if I can’t trust what I’m receiving? I understand that fear because I lived it. For years, I experienced energy through the lens of fear. I saw things that terrified me, questioned whether I could trust my guides, and constantly felt like I needed to protect myself. Until my guides taught me to look beyond what I was seeing. In this episode, I’m sharing how my beliefs were shaping the way I experienced energy, what finally changed those experiences for me, and why constantly trying to protect yourself can actually make it harder to trust your spiritual connection. We’ll talk about religious programming, scary spiritual imagery, shadow energy, self-trust, sovereignty, and how to become curious about what an experience is actually trying to show you. Because developing your intuition isn’t about becoming more afraid of the unseen. It’s about knowing yourself deeply enough that fear no longer gets to decide what everything means.

Your spirit guides know where you struggle to trust yourself. They know when you’re likely to dismiss something as your imagination, convince yourself you wanted to see it, or stop receiving before the message has fully unfolded. Recently, one of my clients connected with three of her spirit guides for the first time. But when we brought in her main guide, he appeared one way to her and completely differently to me. It looked like we were receiving conflicting information. We weren’t. Her guide was intentionally showing each of us something different because he knew exactly what she needed to finally trust that the connection was real. In this episode, I’m sharing what happened and what it reveals about the way your own guides may communicate with you, including: Why a guide may change the way they appear How your guides work with your individual doubt Why their appearance is often symbolic How to recognize the energetic signature of different guides Your guides are already communicating with you. The real work is learning how your energy receives them and trusting what comes through. This is the work I help you do inside AWAKEN and my one-on-one mentorship. We don’t just talk about spirit guides. I help you understand exactly how your intuition flows, connect with your guides directly, and develop a relationship with Spirit that you can trust.

Empaths are often some of the most intuitive people, but their ability to feel energy can also make their intuitive guidance harder to understand. You may feel someone’s emotions, notice sensations in your body, see a color, or experience waves of energy and assume that is the intuitive message. But the feeling itself is not always the message. Sometimes, it is simply the knock on the door letting you know there is something there to explore. In this episode, I explain the difference between empathically absorbing energy and receiving actual intuitive guidance. I also share why you need to understand your own energetic signature before you can clearly recognize your intuition, your spirit guides, or someone else’s energy. We talk about: How empathic abilities can blur your intuitive messages Why feeling energy does not always mean it contains guidance What I mean when I call empathic sensations “door knockers” How to recognize your own energetic signature Why some intuitive people receive messages randomly but struggle when they intentionally try to connect How I transformed my sensitivity into one of my greatest skills as a spiritual teacher and healer Your sensitivity is not the problem. You may simply need to learn how to clear what is not yours, recognize your own energy, and then open the door to the message underneath the feeling. AWAKEN begins September 21. This four-week live group mentoring experience will help you understand how your intuition uniquely flows, connect with your spirit guides, clear your energy, and confidently break down the messages you receive.

What if you are receiving guidance from your spirit guides, but overlooking it because it seems too simple? We often expect Spirit to give us an elaborate message or reveal the entire path ahead. But most guidance comes through one clear truth, one next step or the same message repeated until we finally do something with it. In this episode, I’m breaking down why simple messages can be the most profound, how trust and playfulness strengthen your connection and what to do when the guidance you receive feels vague or incomplete. We’ll talk about: • Why you may be missing the messages your guides are already giving you• The difference between struggling with connection and needing to strengthen the technical side of channeling• How to ask better questions and pull apart a message for deeper clarity• Why taking action on guidance helps you receive more• The role trust, curiosity and even fun play in developing your abilities Your connection does not need to look dramatic to be real. Sometimes the message you keep overlooking is the exact one that can change everything.

AWAKEN starts 9/21- Channel your Spirit Guides & 4 weeks of live group mentoring: AWAKENJULY2025 Your spiritual awakening isn’t only asking you to open your psychic abilities, receive signs, or connect with your spirit guides. It is asking you to remember who you are. In this episode, I share the deeper purpose behind developing your intuition and why this work is not reserved for people who want to become psychic readers, mediums, or healers. Your intuition is first for you. It helps you understand your energy, hear the parts of yourself you have silenced, recognize what is and isn’t yours, and become someone who no longer abandons herself when life feels uncertain. Because your spiritual awakening isn’t trying to turn you into someone more spiritual. It is leading you back to the truth of who you have always been. Inside this episode: • Why developing your intuition is about more than giving readings• How your beliefs and unhealed wounds filter spiritual guidance• Why knowing yourself is essential to trusting yourself• How energy work can help you stop carrying what isn’t yours• What it means to allow your soul to lead your human life AWAKEN begins September 21. This four-week live experience will help you understand your energy, discover how your intuition uniquely flows, develop your psychic abilities, connect with your spirit guides, and receive guidance you can trust and apply to your life.
