[0:00] Hello everyone and thanks again for tuning in. I'm actually really excited and interested to see where this episode is going to take you. Now we're going to go through a quick step process guide. So it literally will be like a step-by-step process that can help you like work with the energy so again whether you are a beginner or you've been working with this i really do believe there'll be something in this for you kind of working through it now this very much did stem from when i was doing a one-day workshop up on the sunshine coast awaken your soul we're doing this live and it was amazing like it was really beautiful to witness because I threw a whole bunch of people, like 32 people, into the deep end with energy and energy work. There were quite a number of people in the room who really hadn't had a lot of experience with energy or working with energy or channeling energy. And this was just helping to break this down for them and with other people. And their feedback was beautiful. And they said, oh my God, thank you so much, Pete.
[1:17] These couple of things just have changed how I'm seeing it, and it's kind of helping to cut through a lot of the noise that's been happening when they have tried or started connecting with the energy. So, for that reason, I was like, you know, with their beautiful feedback, I thought, well, this is wonderful, and I would like to share that with you. So, here we are. So, I'm going to walk you through the steps. Please, if you want to, if you've got the time and space, feel free to take the notes too. There might be something in this for you.
[1:50] So, it really is, I've kind of broken this down into five steps. And we're having a look at this and also throughout so we've got the five steps then also throughout some of it i'm just going to give you some other hints and tips within each step but don't stress i will definitely surmise all of the steps for you very succinctly the end as well so don't worry about it but i just want to make sure i cover everything and because i just find that sometimes it's the little things that are the most powerful so i don't want to leave those out or I don't want to leave those gold nuggets off the table for you. So, I just want to make sure I can really give you the full understanding of what I'm about to take you through. So, step number one of this five-step process is you need to become the observer.
[2:45] This is something that I truly do believe is completely undertaught in energetic circles. So, what tends to happen is, and what I mean by being the observer, is you need to remove yourself from the situation. When a lot of people start working with energy, quite often there is a personal reason why they want to start working with the energy. For example, a very common one, especially in and around my world, is I'd love to be able to connect with my past loved ones. That is an absolutely beautiful sentiment and you can absolutely. However, to do it and to do that correctly or more importantly, ethically in a way where you're not going to get caught up in a whole bunch of emotions, then it takes quite a lot of practice.
[3:48] So, when you are doing any kind of energetic work, so if you're new to this, like I said, you might find if you've been doing it, this could be the one big thing where you go, oh, that's just changed the perspective. It's about being the observer. And there's two ways you can go about this. The first and easiest way, which is one I highly recommend and I really do pass on to a lot of people that work with me is I simply say, don't do any work connected to you or anyone around you that you have personal knowledge about. So, if you have any sort of personal connection or you know them in some way, I would personally avoid like working or practicing in that because it doesn't allow you the greatest possibility to remain neutral.
[4:48] And so, that's a key part of becoming the observer. When you're working with your energy and you're allowing energy to flow through, it's actually not for you. So, you've got to remove yourself from the situation. So, there's two things you need to remove yourself from. And this allows you to remain in a beautiful, neutral, objective, and observer position. Try not to work with anyone that you have personal knowledge about because that's an easy one. That's one you can control.
[5:24] And the other thing too is like then learning when you remove that, when you're working with energy and you're receiving energy or channeling energy with, you know, for somebody else, you're going to find that because you don't have an attachment to it, It's almost like you're stepping back and looking at what you're receiving. That's what I mean about becoming the observer. What this also means is that you kind of switch roles. You become a receiver, not an active participant in that sense. I'll get into that a little bit more, but it's almost as if you just got to feel and sense it coming through, but just allow it to do so and not have any attachment to it. It's when you have any kind of attachment, you become the active participant and it's like you get caught up in the energy and you're no longer the observer. So, when you remove yourself from it and like kind of just step back or step to the side of it and you just witness it and watch it and feel it and sense it in that way, you watch how much more you can receive and how much more you start to understand.
[6:48] So, that's step one, becoming the observer, removing yourself and removing your emotional attachments wherever possible, you're going to set yourself up for success in any kind of sense of energetic work. Super powerful. Okay? Huge one. Step two, when you start receiving this, and this is probably more so for beginners or anyone who is a little bit more on the intermediate level or kind of moving towards that intermediate level. Because what happens is sometimes when we start connecting and because the energy is flowing through us and connecting to us, it can at times become somewhat overwhelming.
[7:35] And through that sense of overwhelm becomes overly confusing and we can get lost in the energy. Now, I can also say and, you know, share with you that even after all the years of practice I've had, there are instances still where the energy between a couple of spirits or around a person is so strong and is coming through so fast. I will also suffer overwhelm or have a whole different bunch of feelings and sensations and information coming through that I struggle to work it out. So, this is a real working problem. This will happen, okay? So, this is very important. You need to address this and that's why I'm including this with you.
[8:30] Now, especially if you're working with this and you're starting out, another big problem where this is connecting with step two is learning to understand what is yours and what is not because it's energy. So, you're receiving, okay? And then once it comes into you, sometimes it gets mixed up with you and you start going, hang on, what's going on here? And that's where the confusion and overwhelm was stemmed from.
[9:01] So step two is discernment. Okay, discernment. You need to learn to separate the energy. So that's discernment. You need to discern what energy is yours and what's not. How do you do this? Very simple, very easy, very powerful. And this statement even goes, you can use this statement beyond this work. You can use this statement in everyday life when someone is projecting their energy onto you in real life, not just channeling.
[9:32] The way to do and discern that energy is by asking yourself this one question. Is this mine or is this mine? Or is this theirs? The power in this question is that it causes you to pause and gives you a moment to sense and feel. Because now it's taking your brain and allowing it to focus on the energy and your body and it's helping you to become aware of the feeling and understanding what is yours. You go like, yeah, okay, this is mine or hang on, but that's not mine.
[10:24] This is a very powerful phrase. for example, a lot of people who receive other people's energy and if you're an empath, for example, where you're just taking on other people's energy and there's not much you can do about it and it gets very overwhelming, gets very tiring. It's just not a fun thing. Even in the work that I'm doing, even though I'm very fortunate in the fact that I'm not 100 empath that way but i am still empathic so even as i'm channeling a spirit in the spirit world or even reading someone in the real world i'm still taking on their energy and so when i'm feeling something i can literally then take pause and ask myself is this mine or is this theirs I really, really highly recommend you try that on and give that a go for yourself the next time you're practicing or sensing it.
[11:30] Really put that in your everyday use. That is such a powerful thing because like I said, it works very well when you're working with energy. But let's face it, that particular discerning question will serve you in everyday life if you're really like picking up on a lot of energy in the real world as well. Very, very powerful, so simple and can really separate things because once you do this, you can then start to move on with the energy. Okay.
[12:04] So that's number two. That's the discernment of the energy. Okay. Okay, number three, okay, the step three in this process is going, you got to ask yourself, do I need to go further? All right, it's about do I continue with the energy? It's a continuation factor. So, what you need to feel. So, we're observing the energy.
[12:29] We're getting the energy coming in. We're feeling this. We're connecting with this. We're asked or we have asked ourself the question, is this mine? Is this theirs you've then worked out that okay it's theirs and this is energy coming through someone once you have that you're getting into step three you need to lean in to the energy, and ask yourself do i need to go further with this energy that's a very also powerful question but the reason why this one's powerful is because it can really save you a lot of time and energy a lot of your time and a lot of your energy so, Because what happens is I tend to find when I'm working with people or I see them starting to connect, they can get caught up or they're focusing in on the wrong kind of energy or detail because there's sometimes a lot that comes through. And so, you've got to also start to work out where is the energy really going.
[13:38] And these is why I kind of described this just to give you a bit of a mental picture to work with kind of like picture it as like little energetic lines that are coming down and like almost like tree roots might be a great way of looking at it a quick visual so there's a one big branch you're channeling that energy in and then there's all these little tendrils all these little tree roots that come off the one branch and what's happening is we are now breaking down and receiving all these different branches of energy. Each branch has its own specific information, its own specific details that come with it. Now, picturing that tree root, not all roots are big or not all roots extend out a long way. Some of them are very, very short. And the thing is, I've seen people get hooked up on a very short energetic line or a very short route because it's just something that they get attached with and they want, but it's focusing on the wrong thing.
[14:50] So as we're connecting with it, it's almost like we need to first then go, it's almost like we connect with all the main lines of energy and we're asking ourselves, do I need to go further with this? Do I need to go further with this? Do I need to go further with this? And we can lean into the energy and how strong it is around what you're receiving. Okay? So, When you're asking yourself this question, so it's the continuation questions, continuation factor, do I need to go deeper?
[15:24] If it's a no, now you've got to understand, how do you get the answer to this? That's usually the next question I get asked. How do you get the answer to this? It's not going to be in your head. You're not going to think it. Get out of that. Get way out of your head. Lose it, right? It's a feeling. You're going to feel it. It's like a strength. Best way to describe this is we've all played like that game as a kid, like hot and cold, where you have to find something. Maybe it's like you've hidden Easter eggs or something and you're going around to find it. But the person who hid the egg is saying to you, cold, cold, cold, or warmer. And then because now you're warm, you keep hanging around in that area. Then it's like warm, warm, no cold. and you're like, okay, don't go that way. They go back to the warm and they go, okay, hot, hot, hot, and you know you're getting closer. And then all of a sudden where the area that you're focusing on becomes very specific.
[16:25] This is exactly what it's like with energy. It's like a feeling and you get this feeling of it can be hot and cold, like this one feels good, or it can feel light or it can feel heavy. Sometimes for me personally, I feel like there's a stronger vibration. So, it feels faster. There's more energy to it. So, that's for me personally. But again, you'll have to work out how this is coming across for you individually.
[16:54] But the whole thing is as you work with it. So, do I need to go further with that? You're going to lean into this feeling. So, if it's like a cold, like, you know, let's just say, you know, spirit saying cold, which means no, we do not need to go further with this. You need to let go of it. That's key. Don't keep chasing it. Do not focus and waste any more time or energy on it. Just simply let it go. You've acknowledged it. Let it go. They're letting you know that's not what to focus on. Okay, so you just need to let go. And then, because you let go, you can focus on the next line of energy, the next tree root, and you can find out where you need to go with that. So, that's how a no will help you. Now let's just say you are tapping into this you've gone through you become the observer yeah i can see this okay yep okay this is this is not mine this is theirs i can lean into this then we come back to step three do i need to continue the continuation factor do i need to continue do i need to go deeper with this now let's just say you're getting a warm or a hot feeling going, yes, yes, yes, right? So, that means you can move on to step four.
[18:07] Remember, so if you get a no, go to the next part of the energy and restart this process. So, what you're going to do now is if you're getting a more of a yes, then we're going to move into step four.
[18:19] And this is very, very important because you've got to have a look at what is the energy, okay? Now, we're starting to get into more specific questions like what is this energy and you're going to have to connect to this energy and what i mean here is you really need to lean into a feeling.
[18:46] Where i see a lot of people struggle is again they're up in their head they're waiting for a word, a phrase, a picture, like those will come depending on your own personal abilities. However, the one thing that we all have, the one thing that we can all tap into, and the one thing that will never let you down is feeling. Because it comes back into your body, you're connected here. And in case you haven't heard it, go back and have a listen to the episode called Bridging Your Three Worlds. I go a bit more into understanding the feeling factor and how that's important. But you need to connect to a feeling and what's the energy, right? What's the energy? The feeling is going to tell you something. Now, the reason why, and I'm just going to take a quick side tangent here, is why focus on the feeling for a very simple reason? If you're waiting for words to pop into your head, they're just words. Now, you might get a word. You might get a phrase. So, you'd be lucky, five to 10 words. That's just five or 10 words, okay?
[20:03] Now, if you are receiving a picture, fantastic. A picture is worth 1,000 words. So, that's even more information, which is good. There's 1,000 words you can work with. But when you connect with a feeling a feeling is worth 10 000 words the feeling they are very hard to describe but they the thing that are always activated because it's a part of the language of the soul so it's very important to lean into the feelings that you get so much more information out of a feeling than you do the other bits and pieces so it will guide you and it helps you to continue along that tree root so you're going to ask yourself so what is the energy and connect to a feeling and when you're first starting out these feelings will be relatively simple, you'll be describing them very like basically and there's nothing wrong with that that's actually a fantastic thing if i can encourage you to do it if you're connecting with a feeling the more you can describe it, the more words you can use, that's really good practice.
[21:13] Then once you start connecting with that feeling, you start to understand this feeling, then you get to step five and you're asking the best and most important question. Now, while I'm on this, if this is the best and most important question, I'm just going to quickly ask you, what do you believe the best or most important question to ask of the energy is? Be very interesting to see what popped into your mind.
[21:42] Now, quite often, I hear, and it's a very, very common occurrence when I'm talking with people, and let's just say they're having what I call interactions with the energy. And when people are just simply interacting with the energy and it's a little bit more sporadic and they're not like looking to focus on it, it kind of plays with our brain a little bit. But when people do this because they're interested but they're not really willing to focus, so what tends to happen is they're focusing in and asking the wrong questions. More often than not, when people have an interaction with energy, whether it's like, for example, at your house and you might feel a presence and this happens, most people will end up asking, oh, who is it? Who's around me? Believe it or not, that's actually not the most important question. The most important question, step five, is ask yourself, why? Right?
[22:41] Why is this important? why is this feeling important out of all the tendrils out of all the tree roots that you've had to follow and you've been following all the way this is the strongest one why are you being guided to see and feel and understand all the way down on this tree root that is a very powerful question and when you're asking that and you feel and you lean into that you will get answers you will start to get more things flowing through because that tree root is connected to another root and you start to understand all the other offshoots from that particular tendril. That's where it starts to get very powerful when you're asking the why.
[23:24] Don't stress about the who. The who comes later and if at all, like to be honest, it's not my, I'm not looking at that. Anytime I'm connecting or when I'm trying to help someone or even when I'm helping someone in a coaching aspect or a mentoring aspect, not even channeling directly, when I'm connecting with their energy, I am always looking at the why.
[23:50] If this is popping into my mind, okay, it's not mine, it's not theirs, because when I'm seeing it pop into my mind, I'm observing it. Then I'm like, hang on, I am with someone, I'm talking to someone, but it's popped into my mind, So, is this mine or is this theirs? Okay, it's theirs, right? Then it could be something, do I need to go deeper with this? Sometimes it's like, I don't need to go deeper. I'll mention it, but that's all. I don't need to go deeper with it. But other times for me, I'll be like, oh, there's a warmth. It feels heavy in a good way. Like, oh, it's got depth. It's almost like when you pick up a difference between picking up like, for example, an apple or a baseball or something, it just feels like it's got more weight to it or like a grapefruit, for example, you can feel the density or feel how heavy it is and how rich it's going to be by the weight so when the energy's got a richer feeling or a heavier feeling i will go okay we need to go deeper with this then by acknowledging going deeper what feelings are coming up then i'm looking at why these feelings coming up and that's how you start to work with the process of the energy and i follow that process over and over and over again okay now the other reason why the who is irrelevant, because if you jump into the who is doing this.
[25:16] You can fall into bias, okay? Now, when working with energy, when you're the observer, the pure observer, you have no, you're neutral. You're Switzerland, right? You're Switzerland, be Switzerland, don't take sides. But when you're asking who, it's almost like you're looking to take a side. Don't fall into the bias. That does not help your energy. That is not good for your brain and it means you're getting back up into your head and not into the flow of the energy. So that's how you work with it that is a quick step process of how to work and for working with energy so just as a nice quick recap step one become the observer be neutral be switzerland two it's discernment asking yourself the simple question is this mine or is this theirs super powerful question. One question, honestly, that can change your life. Really can. Like I said, any type of energy, not even channeling. Number three, okay, is the continuation factor. Do I need to go deeper?
[26:30] Lean into it. If it's a no, let it go. If it's a yes, continue on to step four. Step four, what is the energy? Okay, we're looking at the what. So this is connect to the feeling. What is the energy? Connect to the feeling. Once you've connected to the feeling, step five, you're asking why. Why is this important? And follow the energy. Lead into the energy and follow it. It will guide you. It will lead you. and follow that over and over again. So each time a new piece of energy comes in or you're working with it, just follow that process.
[27:17] One, two, three, four, five. The observer, discernment, continuation, what and why. Give it a go. Let us know if you did, if it helps you. Love hearing if it does. But like I said, it has come up. It has helped a lot of people. they were very appreciative of kind of providing a little bit of a framework or a step-by-step process and because they enjoyed it i thought i would share it here with you and i really do hope this helps you as well thanks for listening and again i look forward to your company next time.
