5 Tips to Develop Your Spiritual Connection

Barbara Longue 

 We are live. Welcome to the vortex energy podcast. We tried this two days ago, it failed miserably, just too terrible internet connection. And now Sue was on here as well and she just dropped out suddenly. But we do have Michelle Luehman who we’ve been trying really hard to talk to because she’s got some great info for us. Welcome Michelle

Barbara Longue 

Just debating if anyway, see how this goes. Anyway, we wanted to talk with Michelle today because she came by to visit a few weeks ago. And she’s doing some really awesome things here in Tasmania in Hobart, working with people and she’s created an entire soul journey Academy, all about spiritual awakening. We’re like, Oh my god, this is exactly what we do. This is so awesome to meet Kindred souls, helping the planet and helping everyone on the planet to raise their vibration. So give me one second, let me just see where Sue is. You can tell this is live. Give me one sec. Have a cup of tea. Be back. So what does it say?

Barbara Longue 

Really? Okay, we’re hoping to get Sue back on live soon. But in the meantime, Michelle, tell us a little bit about your spiritual journey.

Oh, okay. Well, my spiritual journey began really early. I’m a descendant from both sides of the family in terms of whether you want to call it witching or whether you want to call it spiritual awakening. So I was the strange kid always had invisible friends.

Barbara Longue 

With your friends, no one could see.

Everyone else say the bright good. They’re my best mates. And I could see sparkles and journeys and all this sort of stuff. And of course I to survive at school, I had to let all that go. And then in my late 30s, after I my Nana, who was my dad’s mom had passed away many years ago. And then an auntie came to me and gave me a crystal in a necklace and said, Nana always said to give this to you, well, then there was no that was it just connected me straight into the spiritual world, almost out of control. Because you know, once you connect to that superhighway, and particularly if you haven’t had any schooling or teaching about some of the you know, essentials, which we’ll talk about later, those five, what I call the five foundations, you just get flooded because the word goes out. So then wherever I went, I had my friends back, but in really large numbers, and no filter. So I had everything calling in. And then through another strange coincidence where someone gave me a crystal, someone else I didn’t know said I’ve got to give you this and they gave me another crystal and it was an earthen crystal. And it was Yeah, that’s right. It was an egg and that was like boom. And then I started to get control back. Perfect in terms of not being so completely open. And then that started me on a whole range of maybe coincidences but I started working with the mother from India. She came and we did some tutoring. Lucky she tutored me. She gave me a beautiful name called Emma shindy, which is mother temple, which I completely ran away from because it’s a big name. So I ran fine. And then I went and traveled to Bali for my business and met a lot of shamans and studied with them, and they were really into healing in Bali. It’s all about the ones I started before in healing. And then I winded up living in a country called Laos. And in LAO, I got really deeply into meditation. I’d started doing meditation in Singapore with these big crystals and I made big crystals. And, and then in meditation or in Laos, I became meditation master. And that meditation master took me on all hours of meditating takes you on a lot of trips. And in Lao Buddhism is mixed with amnestic. So they use the shamanism and the Buddhism and they bring it together in the temples. So it’s a great place for me to learn spirituality. So that’s been my trip. And then COVID I’m in Hobart. So there you are at the patron. And Helen and Lynn just opened up her arms, and I needed her to open her arms because I was a bit in shell shock. But it’s been great. So that’s been my journey.

Barbara Longue 

So what kind of what kind of work were you doing when you were traveling in Singapore? In Lao what what was your?

Well, the primary Singapore Lao is I started off channeling spirits. And housecleaning because you Singapore’s got to really

Barbara Longue 

sell a lot of people need that both? Clear the spirits out of the houses? Yeah.

Yeah, that’s exactly what I was doing. Because Singapore has got a huge history of violence from World War Two. So lots of people, particularly the experts, they’re all living in these old war, World War two houses, and it’s full of people who haven’t moved on. So a lot of what I was doing was cleaning, and I cleaned both energies, and what I call entities, you know, language is really difficult in the spiritual world, because we’re all coming to it from different pathways, right. And there’s not one book that says, This is the word where, you know, we’re studying our whole range of different handing being handed down by teachers and parents and families and spirits. So spirits for me, people, all things that have worked on the earth, but entities, perhaps not so much. So I was doing a lot of cleansing, you know, and a lot of channeling for people. And it was in Singapore, when I got into doing Tarot. And I got into this group, and really nice group of all different disciplines. And that’s when we started to do a lot of really deep meditation with the chakras. So that’s what I was doing in Singapore. Now I left that when I went to LAO. And I started going right deep into both animism and Buddhism, and looking at not just looking at meditation, but what meditation gave me was a real ability when I’m working with spirits, to get really focused really quickly. So it really gave me great control over my mind. Oh, yeah. And as a result of that, it really allowed me to open my mind up. So I then started doing a lot of distance work. Again, it was distance work around cleansing. And now I started to get more into healing, because animalism is a lot about healing. And then the other thing I was doing a little bit in LA, which was surprising to me was I was starting when people were using these skills to harm others, because one of the things that I travel with all the time is first do no harm. Yeah.

Barbara Longue 

Yeah, that’s it.

So yeah, like regardless of whether it’s an entity or being a place, person, whatever, first do no harm. And when you get to a certain point, in your spiritual ism, it’s a bit of a head rush to feel that power and to feel your capacity to play with energies. So I was doing a little bit of work with people who had perhaps got a little bit too much into the defining their ego through their capacity.

Barbara Longue 

That is what that is what happens a lot, isn’t it? That ego jumps back in Yeah.

Ego jumps back in and and what starts off with the best of intentions can easily end up being what would be the word for it? Self exploitation of that skill that of that or that being. So I actually spend a lot of time working with my higher self and my guides. And I question a lot what I do and how I’m doing it. Just to make sure I’m on the right. path. Yeah, speak, you know that my ego is not running a Mac. And even sometimes when I get messages to do things, I have the big. I’m not the Oh, yes, sir. No, sir. Three bags full, sir. I’m the Oh, wait a minute. you asking me to do what?

Barbara Longue 

Yeah. Well, it is being clear who’s coming through. Because, yeah, people always think, Oh, I have a guide, or I’m channeling someone that it’s always somebody good? Well, not necessarily. You know,

one of the things that I say, Yeah, I look at people, I go, Hey, don’t be sure that this spirit superhighway that everyone’s got your back, because that’s not Yeah, it is, you know, some people are just playful. Some people are not playful, they’re downright, you know, a bit been a positive and nasty. And if you and I as I do, if you’re working from people who are entities that are not from this plane, their rules are different, right? their rules o
