When I first began this work, there were times I wanted to feel my guides standing beside me. I wanted their presence to feel almost physical, as though they had stepped into the room. Sometimes that does happen. But over the years, my guides have taught me something else. More often than not, they don't communicate by becoming more solid. They communicate by infusing their energy into your experience. That guidance may arrive as: ✨ An idea that seems to come out of nowhere. ✨ A feeling you suddenly know you can trust. ✨ A word or phrase that repeats in your mind. ✨ A visual image or symbol. ✨ A moment of inspiration. ✨ A deep sense of peace or reassurance. Sometimes you'll recognize what I call their energetic "calling card" or signature, and other times you'll simply notice the wisdom or inspiration they bring. If you're currently working through the Meet Your Spirit Guides Challenge, I'd encourage you to stay open to all the different ways guidance can show up in your everyday life, rather than expecting it to look one particular way. I'm curious... How do you experience guidance most often? Do you notice ideas, feelings, symbols, dreams, a sense of knowing, or something else entirely? I'd love to hear about your experiences in the comments. xo, Carey

My past is creeping up on me, and the short fuse I used to have is bubbling to the surface!

One of the things we work on together in The Sanctuary is opening up our intuitive abilities and deepening our connection to the world of spirit. That includes our guides, our higher self, and yes — our loved ones who have passed. Waiting for EVERY Community member in the Sanctuary Classroom in the June Daily practice workbook to improve your intuition, strengthen your connection to the spirit world, and connect with your Loved ones is spirit 🪽 This month that is our focus. Connecting with the people we have loved and lost, and learning to recognize when they are near. Every day in June there is a short practice waiting for you inside this month's guide, Love Doesn't Leave. Five minutes, sometimes a little more. Some days it is a breathing or meditation exercise. Some days it is writing. Some days it is working with an object or sitting quietly with a question. Each one is simple and accessible, whether you are brand new to this or have been practicing for years. What makes this kind of practice work is consistency. Showing up every day, even briefly, builds something that occasional effort doesn't. By the end of the month you will have a much clearer sense of how you personally receive, and very likely some experiences that surprise you. Premium members, your June lessons drop tomorrow afternoon. Watch for that. I will be in the comments with you all month. xo Carey

Hello Dear Members, Your June Energy Forecast is now available in the Classroom! I can't wait to hear what you think! Comment below this post your observations

I am so glad you are here ! Here is how to get started: Head to the classroom and open the Day 1 lesson. You will find a short audio from me and a written post with everything you need for today. Listen to the audio, do the exercise, and then come back here to the community and share your experience in the comments below the lesson. That is it. Simple, practical, and something you can do in the next 20 minutes. This week is about recognizing something that has already been happening in your life. You are not starting from zero. You are just learning to pay attention in a new way. I will be in the comments throughout the week, reading every single share. Your experience matters here — and what you share may be exactly what someone else needs to read today. Let's begin. 🌿 xo, Carey
