Transcript

Hey, Astro Lover. Welcome back to I Talk to Planets. This is your host, Claire Gallagher, and I'm so excited about today's episode. I have a guest today, which is a rare occurrence on this show, but one that I hope you'll really enjoy.
Today's episode is all about strengthening your intuition and accepting the fact that you were born with all the wiring. You need to be a clear, intuitive channel for yourself and for others if you want to be. Today, I'm talking with my dear friend, Angela Rider.
Angela is an intuitive guide, energy psychic, and channel who helps people find clarity for their next steps and reconnect with their own inner wisdom. She works with spirit teams to blend clear, practical guidance, supportive energy work, and psychic perceptions that reveal what's going on and what's ready to shift. Her sessions offer useful insight and energetic recalibration to support your intuition and ability to make new choices.
I think today's conversation is so important because I believe, and Angela believes that. Everyone can receive insight and guidance. Everyone was born with the ability to be intuitive. There's just a lot of things in life from early on, especially in childhood, where we cover that up or are told not to trust it, and we kind of push that part of ourselves to the side.
Part of planet channeling is deconditioning from those things and just being open to receiving whatever comes up, and that's how you build a rapport with the planets. Build a rapport with your intuition is just practice. Just show up. Just receive whatever comes through and try not to judge it.
If you are brand new to Planet Channeling and you're like, what in the world is this woman talking about? I have a free webinar that introduces you to all the things that you need to know. It's free. It's on my website. You can find it@astrologywithclaire.com slash clarity. It's called Turn your Astrology Chart into a Clarity Machine, how to unlock instant cosmic Insight with Planet channeling. Okay. Without further ado, let's dive into the conversation. I hope you enjoy.
 Hi Angela. Thank you so much for being on the show. I'm so excited to talk to you. 
I'm excited to talk to you too. It's been a long time of something that I've wanted to do, so thank you for having me. 
Yeah, it's been a Bruin, like a good cup of coffee. We were just talking before the show that yes, the rumors are true.
I have started drinking coffee again, and it's glorious. Yeah. Yep. So this conversation is a long time coming. I'm so excited to talk to you about all things channeling and intuition, and speaking of coffee, before we get into, we we're gonna dive deep, real quick. That's just how we work. But what is your favorite when you're doing planet channeling?
'cause I know you do a lot of different types of channeling, but when you're doing planet channeling, what is your favorite beverage and what is your favorite notebook to write in? 
I always drink water, room temperature, water. That's just my thing. Um, that's always what I have. It feels like it cleanses the pellet clear channel.
Um, doesn't get involved in anything else and. Uh, the notebook I use is just those cheap green and white ones that are lined and you can tear pages out, you can go back to them any time just cheap and trashy, like, you know, you always say keep it cheap and trashy. I love 
it. Yeah, yeah. I have my cheap and trashy spiral notebook from Kroger across the street, and that works perfectly for me.
I, uh, must say that I'm impressed with just the water, the room temperature, water. I feel like I always need some type of beverage prop when, when, when I'm sitting down, but I totally respect and understand how water feels like it would keep things clear and that's good. 
Um. I get the, the having a beverage with a handle on it.
Yeah. Um, 
because then you feel like you're really meeting a planet for coffee or the scoop or the tea. So I get that 
maybe I should just put my water in a mug and that'll make me feel better. 
What 
is that or that? So I'm dying to know, like looking back over your life, you know, as a professional, intuitive.
Was there a moment when you were like, oh, I'm kind of hooked in to things that other people are not. Was there a moment when you realized you were intuitive? 
There were, um, several times throughout my life, but my, um, cognitive or framework for them was a little bit different. So being around five or six and being around.
More adults and children and realizing someone could be standing there lying to my face and I would have the understanding that they were lying and hear the actual things that were going on and then call them out and, and when you do that with adults and you reveal secrets that no one should know. Um, you learn really quickly that that's not a very safe place.
And so then I learned that, um, not everybody was doing that. And so that was one way I learned, okay, if I'm getting information, is it for me, what can I do about it? Because I can't do anything about what other people say. And then another time was. Realizing in my mid twenties, um, oh, I am actually an intuitive, 'cause I had a word for it.
Then, um, again, mind you, I am 60. I'm 62. I had to think I'm, I'm 62. And so in my mid twenties, I really didn't get exposed to the language of intuition or psychic or channeling until around then. Um, I don't think I called myself a channel, but I did see that I was very intuitive and I would have a lot of psychic pits.
And, uh, then studied a little bit just to get some framework of understanding of my own abilities. Um, but again, that was during a time period where I was working 50, 60 hours a week, um, in medical science. So, um, all the applications of that psychic and intuitive energy was kind of focused on, um, you know, business and, uh, that.
Then, um, when I retired from that career about 13 years ago, um, and really started working with people, I, I studied with the teacher that gave me some more information and understanding about energies guides. Um, and from her framework I was then able to. Tap more into like, oh, I, I don't necessarily work like that, but this is how that works for me.
Mm-hmm. So big, big differences based on where I was at the time and what I was exposed to in my understanding of it and what my need and use of it was. Yeah. So, so it sounds like 
you were. Hooked in at a very young age and maybe received some feedback that, oh, that's not good. And so kinda did it lie dormant for a while until your twenties.
Yeah. Uh, not necessarily dormant, but I really learned how to block a lot of it out. Mm-hmm. Because it was just static. It was just noise. It was too much and it was very disturbing because with those thoughts and everything, being an open receiver meant I got the energy and emotions and. Um, that's a lot for, uh, a person to take in that doesn't have any context or no, um, agency to do anything about it.
So, 
yeah, absolutely. I kind of toned 
it down just for, for my own knowing. 
Yeah. And when you were older and you sought out some teaching, did that help you with the, um, monitoring, like the volume level of what you were receiving? 
Um. That didn't come until, you know, 13 years ago of really understanding the energy dynamics of what, what I was receiving, but learning, um, like in my, my twenties, uh, about.
Psychic information. I learned to tune the channel for other people and for myself. Like, oh, I wanna know something about this. And like, scanning. It's like, oh, okay. Get that piece of information. Um, it happened most clearly when I was doing readings for other people, like terre readings or something. I could just slip into that space.
And, um, it would flow through. So it, it gave me an idea that, uh, oh, I'm really receiving something. 'cause that wasn't coming from me. I wouldn't have come up with that. 
Yeah. That's super interesting. As someone who is beginning their journey of channeling on behalf of another, in my sessions with, with Planet channeling it.
It's, uh, interesting to feel the switch between channeling for yourself and channeling with someone else's permission. Do you feel like there are different skill sets, or how do you see that? It, 
it's an expanded set. Um, to be a clear channel for yourself is key, and then you understand how you receive that information.
And in order to be a clear channel for another, you have to understand how that works and then be able to work, um, in that space for another. So it's an expanded skillset and it does take, um. It takes a, a different practice in being able to be clear, setting aside your own expectations and projections and logic, um, mind, uh, and be able to be clear and receive.
And the way I look at it is. Is doing, um, channeling for another person is I am experienced and practiced at setting that aside and being the interface to help receive information. And my deal with my spirit team is, I, I don't want anything that's not practical, that's not useful. That's, you know, I don't want psychic debris because what's that going to do?
Mm-hmm. So, um. Kind of knowing how you're going to work for another and with another step really comes from being able to do that for yourself. So yeah, it's not necessarily different. Per se, it's an expanded, um, refined skillset to be clear. 
Yeah. I love the, um, very clear parameters that you give your spirit team that I want it to be practical.
I want it to be useful. I think that something that everyone listening can take into their planet channeling practice. Um, I push back on planets all the time. Like today I had a. A planet channeling session with a client and I was receiving stuff that felt too pie in the sky. And I said, can you say that a different way?
Can you be more practical with that? What's the first step? And so for anyone listening, don't be afraid to push back and ask for, um, the entity to be more clear. 
Absolutely. Um. No one needs to, to have, uh, misinformation or information that is 10 steps ahead. Um, because then how, how do you get there? It's, yeah.
Yeah. Absolutely. So since I'm on this journey of like opening my channel up for others, I'm so curious your thoughts on channeling as something that you're born with, like the ability to do it or channeling. Is it something that we can learn to do? And I realize this might just be an opinion, but I'm so curious what your thoughts are on channeling as a skill.
Like can anyone refine that or is it just a select few? 
I think everybody, and again, this is my perception, um, from what little I've studied, gave me an idea, but mostly this comes from working with my team, um, them giving me a frame of reference. But everybody comes in with all the wiring, our intuition, our psychic senses that expand out to be an interface with our higher self and our spirit teams.
So everybody comes in, some people's aperture or um, channels, uh, for, for that circuitry is a little more, um, robust, um, more intact. Um. And you know, there's some people who come in and they've seen beings since they were babies. So some people come in with that. Um, I think we're. We start questioning if anybody can learn to channel or be intuitive is because we also are in a society that will condition us and tell us we aren't experiencing or knowing what we know.
Um, we're conditioned to talk ourselves out of it, logic ourselves out of it. And as women, um, especially, uh, our intuitive senses, um, uh. You know, are frowned upon. It's a, it's a empowerment that many don't want us to have. So we may come in with really robust channels as part of our life path. Um, but everybody has those channels there and you can develop your ability to, um, decondition yourself and.
And be able to experience. Um, everybody has the right to talk to their guides and have a intuitive connection and reliably trust their own knowing. And having a practice that allows you to get past that and get more clarity is something we're all wired to have. And depending on our conditioning, um, or trauma, um, it, it's more difficult.
But playful things, um, that are very accessible like planet channeling are a perfect, um, gateway. 
Yeah, I, um, love your answer and my opinion is a hundred percent the same as, as yours and or I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing. Um, I definitely believe we are all channels and it's just a matter of refining and, and tuning the channel.
Um, and I love what you said about the conditioning and, um. Being taught from a young age that maybe we shouldn't trust our intuition or, uh, we need to rely on logic more. And I remember I was channeling other on other children when I was a child and. Sorry, mom. Um, mom listens to this podcast and hi mom.
I totally, hi, mom. I totally embarrassed my mother because I, uh, was channeling a, a child at the McDonald's parking or McDonald's playground. And so I as one would, as one naturally would do in the slide tunnel, um, and, uh, I quickly learned that I needed to shut that part down, or at least that's what I told myself.
And so it's been a really long journey and opening that back up. And I love planet channeling because it is playful and it, it's kind of funny and it's an easy gateway back into that part of myself. 
Yeah. Yeah, that's what I, I delighted in, in your, um, I don't know, has it been three or four years now when, I don't remember when Stellium was, but when you brought through Planet channeling, um, I was so delighted because, um, I don't, the way I work with guides, it's like a big amorphous energy that has, um, depending on.
What energies move up and closer. They might have a different feeling, um, but they don't appear as, you know, a person or a a a form. And so this was a great, um, way to play with something. Um, in that realm. I, I don't know if I've ever told you this, but when I, um. Like 13 years ago, started doing tarot sessions at Psychic Tarot.
Um, I also had studied astrology for a long time, so I was giving some astrology readings and I would spend a day or two because I was a new astrologer, you know, giving readings. Spend so much time in so many notes, and I would go and I would sit for the client and I would look down and I would immediately go into a channeled space and the planets and aspects would start talking in.
In a way it's like, that's nothing that I wrote about yesterday, but I guess that's what's coming through. Mm-hmm. So 
that's the curse of a new astrologer is over preparing for hours and hours and hours. Yeah. And then you never use your notes in the session? 
No. No, but I real, I gave it up quite quickly, realizing, oh, it, it's just a, it's a, just a gateway, uh, you know, to, to the channel and.
It's great to be able to have aspects and talk to the planets to get, um, information or context around something if it's important. But, um, uh, it's, it's not specific to, you have to do it this way with astrology, you know? It's, 
yeah, no, we definitely don't need to be prescriptive about it. And I'm at the point with astrology where I'm like.
Challenging myself not to make notes and just show up, and that is really stretching me. But I think that's the assignment that my team wants me to take on right now, and it's been really interesting. I might write down some bullet points, um, just to keep some structure, but I will let. My intuition fill in the rest, or, or like that body of knowledge that I've built up for years, I let that come and, and show its face.
Um, but yeah, the over preparing is, is a real struggle. 
Yeah. Yeah, I, I love, I love the acknowledgement that you can take the body of your work and your own knowing, and you're not getting rid of it. Um, it, it's part of the lens in which you as a channel can speak from. Um, and it's very useful and helpful and helps you guide a session and, um, deliver, uh, you know, with more nuance and depth.
Um, then. Then, um, if you didn't have all of that 
right, but 
you're opening to this whole other potential, it was like, well, if I channel with and on behalf of this person who is here, me as a practiced interface for channeling, can through some guidance or some reference that's. Much more useful or potent for them than just giving them the aspect details.
Yeah. Yeah. I'm finding that to be true in my planet channeling sessions. I'll do like half the session, we'll talk about the technical details and then the other half of the session we channel the planet and let the planet reveal itself on its own terms. And I'm realizing, I think I just wanna channel the planet the whole time.
But yeah. Those, those technical details, especially for someone who maybe hasn't done planet channeling before, is helpful for them to give them some yeah. Context within which to receive insight. Yeah, 
absolutely. I, I think both are, um, valid. I mean, it's absolutely, it's marrying the science and art with the channel and the greater, um, information.
Mm-hmm. 
Mm-hmm. It's like the perfect combination. It's like PB and j. Yes. So, I don't know the answer to this question. This is a total newbie question, but I'm like, is there a difference between psychic medium channel. Intuitive 'cause people just throw those words around and I'd love to hear from the expert if there is a difference.
Um, they are all, um, ways that we, or, or terms that we use because we need to put something out on our shingle that somebody can relate with. And intuitive is the most inviting and most accepted one is to be able to say, oh, I'm an intuitive. Um, but anyone who is intuitive is also channeling Yeah. They're receiving from that interface.
Um, anybody who is a psychic is also using their, um, senses, the different types of senses to sense into that, um, field to bring in information. And, um, the way I look at mediumship is. That that's a very specific, uh, channel and frequency and, um, bandwidth that you're working with as an interface for beings that have passed on, um, in order to, uh.
Perform something that might be very, um, challenging, which is dealing with grief resolution. And so that takes a whole different skillset. I think soft skillset in being able to, um, work with people and, and if the, the being doesn't show up to, to talk, what do you do then? You know, you have to be able to say, it's not because, um, you know, they didn't wanna talk to you, maybe they just aren't ready or.
Whatever it is. So that's just another part of an aspect that people can focus on or came in with that bandwidth, um, that was part of their skillset that was going to be really useful this time and it wasn't squished out of them. Yeah. But, um. All of it involves channeling. It's just, what do you want to call it?
What can you do with it? Um, I think though, you know, I use the term intuitive guide because, uh, I do want people and teach people about using their intuition and getting, um, able to receive their own wisdom and knowledge and connection with their spirit team. Uh, I do have sometimes family members show up in a session that have passed on that.
They know if they deliver a certain message that is going to make a difference to that person. But as a rule, I'm not coming into a session to channel loved ones that have passed on, um, and being a psychic. Is kind of the, I do have a, a session that I called Psychic Potpourri because, uh, people can ask me questions about anything and I will be open to receiving from that interface.
Um, information, and sometimes they'll ask way out in the woowoo sphere questions, and I have no idea, but I'm brought through information and I would, I didn't even know that was a thing. So it's like, okay, I guess, I guess this is happening now. Um, but you know, in the, in the realm of psychic, there are so many people that just open their channel, just open it up to receive whatever, and there's not.
Like discernment or refinement. And so, um, a lot of the bad rap and why people don't usually u use the word psychic is because there's a lot of people out there just picking out debris, bringing through stuff that isn't useful. And so, um, yeah, I, I resisted for a long time calling myself a psychic, but, uh.
Yeah, I'm an intuitive guide, an energy psychic, a channel. Um, I kind of put it all in there 'cause I, I do it all. So yeah, they're, they're different in how that interface works, but they're all of the same wiring. We're mm-hmm. We're reaching out into the greater connection with our higher self and, um, those support systems and energies and information.
So that's just extending it and how you want to do it. Is how you call yourself. So yeah, there could be, there could be differences, but it's all in the practice. 
Yeah. And it sounds like the practice is really remaining clear, and so I'd love to hear it is for me. Yeah. There are some out there who do not.
Yeah. But I would love to hear your tips on being a clear channel and what it is that works for you, how you remain clear. 
And again, it comes down to practicing being a clear channel for myself. And just because I can be a clear channel for myself, it doesn't mean I always follow the guidance that comes through.
I'm not ready. Um, I'm not that interested. But the way, um, guides have, uh. Uh, bring their information to me is it's always an invitation. It's not an expectation. There's no judgment. If, if we don't do what we write down and say, oh, take these five steps and then whatever, there's no, um, you know, higher, uh, judgment about whether we do or not and sometimes.
It's just like WD 40. They'll give us the information and it works in there for a while and moves things around, and it might be a while before we can say, okay, I'm ready to take that first step. 
Yeah. And 
so. Being clear means, um, I'm willing to receive what I get and, uh, kind of put myself in the space of it might not make sense now, um, or, but it's always, you know, kind useful, sometimes funny.
Um, the longer you do this, your team speaks to you in a way that you have a personal rapport. There's callbacks, there's shorthand, um, that they give. And so part of that being clear is, is in the setting, the container being embodied, um, you know, inhabiting yourself, you're not full of all the conditioning when you sit down, you're not.
You're not so clouded by the conditioning that would put judgment or censorship or, um, expectations or judgment on what you write or bring through. So that's a practice. Um, and the more you practice, the more you feel into how, oh, that was really clear. I would've never come up with that. That's not me talking.
Um, uh, egoic Angela, you know, flavored me. It may speak to me in silly tones because I love wordplay and mm-hmm. And that sort of thing, but, um, being clear for myself. Um. Means I have to be able to hold a space of, I know I'm working with my conditioning and how can I continue to open up and be clear? How can I put aside the, the judgements and restrictions and continue to practice and continue to show up and, you know, do the same for with a client?
I, I ask. In my invocation with clients that I be a clear guide, a clear channel, um, and teacher facilitator, energy worker, and I also invoke the other spirit team and say, help me deliver what will be of the most help, the most support, uh, the best guidance that this person may be able to take the information and use it in whatever way is in their best interest.
Now or in the future or however I, you know, I don't have any attachment to outcome other than I'm clear about getting out of the way. 
Mm. Yeah. That's such good insight. And even today. You know, in my session with a client, I was, I mostly channel through handwriting, and I was having Claire Ego up here going, this is ridiculous.
I can't believe you're writing that. But the practice is to just keep writing. And so that's what I did. And it, it's so interesting, um, to bear that then to the client and read, read it to them, um, without getting attached to some type of outcome. It's definitely a stretch, but what I'm willing 
to do. And it also invites them to do the same.
Yeah. 
Hearing from your perspective, you are inviting them into the same clear channel. And, you know, mirror neurons, um, entrainment, uh, you are providing that energetic space and then sharing what you vulnerably is like, I just channeled this for you. Um, it really does give them the permission of like, oh, that's, that's what it feels like to be in a clear channel.
Mm-hmm. That's what it, what's that energy feels like to, um, allow it to flow through, so mm-hmm. It's very valuable. 
I'm curious, you know, speaking of being clear and showing up and keeping the practice alive, do you have a, a pre channeling ritual or something that helps you get in the zone? You mentioned an invocation, you mentioned your room temperature, water.
Um, is there anything else that helps you? Uh. 
Yeah, I mean, uh, it how I channel for myself, um, is a little more loosey goosey 'cause same, yeah. And, um, but how I channel for a client is, uh, a little more, um, structured. And I usually do it the same way, only because, um, I've practiced so many times. It's just like I can feel myself shift.
Energies shift into the space and I can feel, um, the room filled with spirit guides. And so I, um, allow myself to, to have that ritual of, of I am, um, creating safe space and invoking protection. I am invoking, um, my spirit team to. To allow me to receive and channel and, and then I, um, ask the other spirit team if it's a client.
And then again, it's the trusting the channel, trusting what comes through and allowing it. If I'm doing this for myself, which, uh, many people that might listen to this, this might be new for them. So planet channeling or, um, personal channel channeling, uh. Have the intention to receive. You get what you get.
And the other key part is, um, so if I had to say top five, okay. In invoke your space, 
we love a list. Virgo loves a list. Let's go. Yeah. Okay. 
So first and foremost, you have to have the imagination being an open and willing to do it. 
Yep. 
Yeah. You know, it's, it's only gonna happen if you allow yourself to do it, and then you're gonna set the clear space and invocation, you're gonna inhabit your body, um, nobody else there.
And then you're practicing, receiving, asking the question, receiving the information, and, um, maybe at first do some low stake. Channeling where the outcome is something you can say, I don't know if I believe this, but I'm gonna trust it and I'm gonna do it. Yeah. Because the following of the guidance and accepting the guidance is something that strengthens the channel, that it strengthens your relationship with your intuition.
And your ability to, even without sitting at a table and writing, ability to feel that movement within you, to feel that guidance. And so, um, following the guidance, uh, start low stakes, you know, and, and like I said, it's invitation. You don't have to, but sometimes follow the guidance. 
Yeah, I notice that like when I follow the guidance that the planets have lovingly given me, there's a, a trust that builds up between us.
And it's like that they can share even more with me. It's like, oh, she listens to us. Okay, we're gonna give you some more juice. 
Yeah. Because if, if not, then you're gonna get some flavor of the same response every time. It's like, okay, well let's try this. This route. Yeah. You know? Exactly. And yeah, 
exactly.
So, because channeling is probably new to most of the listeners. I mean, I've been hitting it hard on the podcast lately. I I 
love it. I love it so much. 
But we just went through our top five. We've got some good tips going, but is there anything that you would recommend for strengthening intuition? 
There. I have lots of blog posts and, and things, but really it's being open and willing and ready to receive.
Yeah. And, and that's where we have to come up against our, our playlist that's in our conditioning and the programming where we kind of have to, um, circumvent that. So. Even I, I would say the easiest, um, if you're not gonna sit down and channel is throughout the day, just do a check-in. It's like, what am I feeling?
Get back in your body. You have a bunch of squatters in there, you know, eating all your food and taking the crap on the living room floor, you know, oh, with their, with their bad talk, you know, in your head. And just like everybody out and do a check-in and. That's one way to strengthen your intuition. How am I feeling?
What do I think about this? You know, um, asking for some assistance saying, I don't know what to do here. Um, you know, please help. Uh. So just those little things, um, sends up a signal and activates your intuitive wiring that, uh, you want to strengthen your intuition, that you want help, that you want a, a strong relationship that you can trust.
So, you know, if you don't have time to sit and ask questions, um, or check in with the planets, then just a daily practice of just talking to your higher self. Talking to guides. I don't always call on anybody specifically. I say who's ever in charge of, mm-hmm. Um, this thing, I need some help. And then I expect to receive something, you know, some kind of feeling, and then I go with that.
Um mm-hmm. You know, but sometimes the answer is no. Because if we ask for something that if we know the outcome, we're not gonna do the work, then sometimes it's just kind of, you know, you know where you're supposed to be going and what to do. Um, you know, you can ask for a million signs, but you still have to do the work, so sometimes you don't get the specific answer, but you get an answer or a nudge.
Yeah. Yeah. I love that approach, that strengthening your intuition doesn't have to mean you. Uh, light all the candles and have two hours to get into some type of spiritual frenzy, and then you write for 45 minutes and then it's, uh, not like that at all. It doesn't, but sometimes be like that. Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes when the mood strikes, but most of the time I'm like.
Dirty hair, pajamas, like, what's up planets? And yeah, maybe five minutes here, five minutes there. But I love the advice to just, just pause and to check in with your body. Um, that's gold. So yeah. My last question is. Tell us a little bit about how you, planet channel, like how do you make it your own flavor?
Is there anything unique that you do with the practice that you wanna share with us? 
Absolutely. So if I'm, um, channeling the way I learn from you with in Planet channeling, I really do let myself like get into the storybook character, you know? Um, I shared on a, an event that you had previously Mar showed up and was getting naked and was a total smoke show.
And I remember that just fucked up, got down to business and that I was like, I'm not a, a big romance thing reader. And so it was just kinda like, woo. You know, so I, I let that feeling of whatever comes through be okay. And it's just, so for me, planet channeling is I really. Let it be big and yeah, flavorful.
And, and I remember the very first time this, um, you did planet channeling and we did Venus, that Venus showed up at this as this big fluffy white goose on a green velvet couch. And I just went with it. It was great. It was a wise goose. Um, so yeah, yeah. So, so for planet, that's my flavor. Allow it to be out there, allow it to be whatever, set the scene, make it spicy, whatever, but you always provide, uh, depending on the planet or the topic, um, enough details that you can put those into a character.
Um, and. You know, scene, you know, and, and it starts. And so for me that, that's my, my trick into it is have as much fun and, you know, you might spend more time at the beginning setting the scene, but it also gets you into the channel of receiving. It's like, okay, this character went through all of this and mm-hmm um, they better lay it down.
They better, you know, deliver. And so, yeah, 
I noticed that I really. I'm an efficient gal, and so I notice sometimes that I resist setting the scene and I'll just go straight into the invocation and straight into the question, but there's so much juice in setting the scene. It makes it so much richer and the conversations are so much.
Better and deeper. And so I see all of you out there who are skipping this step. I do it too, but it really is, it makes it so fun, so playful, and it really opens up the information in my opinion. 
Because it's a relationship. Yeah. It's the best way to practice planet channeling, I think, um, for anybody who's just starting is to do that set scene setting.
Mm-hmm. And as you get more proficient, I don't always have time to do that. Neither do I. And so, um, you know, I am sitting down with my journal and here's my question and let's get to it and let's go. Mm-hmm. You know, I've cleared the space and just said, everybody out, this is what we're doing. Get the information and go.
But that's because I've cultivated a relationship. 
Exactly. I can, 
I can bring it in and it's like a phone call. I don't need to, you know, um, set the scene and, and drive to the place or whatever. But, um, I think that aspect of setting the scene is where you develop the relationship. You start to feel what it feels like when that presence is there.
What it's like to channel that wisdom, because it has a flavor, it has an energetic imprint. It mm-hmm. Um, is creating pathways that allow you access, uh, more quickly and clearly. 
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm. That's perfect. That's like mic drop right there. Setting the scene is. The secret sauce to developing the relationship with the planets as guides and.
I totally agree. Now that I have a relationship and a rapport with them, I can sit down and pose a question and I know that the answer will come. Or I set the scene in one sentence like the sun, Venus and I are on lounge chairs on a rooftop, the sun is out. That's it. And then we go, exactly. Yeah. Which was, I think yesterday's.
So, um, for those of you who are like, this planet channeling thing is really cool, but I still feel like I'm. Not receiving anything, just play with setting the scene and that will really open things up and just keep showing up and keep doing the practice and your planets will show up for you.
