Spiritual Musts: 5 Steps I Never Skip Before Spiritual Work
Before I begin any spiritual work, whether it’s psychic readings, connecting with Spirit, channelling, meditating, or even stepping into a space for a paranormal investigation, there are five things I always do.
I call them my Spiritual Musts.
These steps are simple but powerful.
They anchor me, align me, and keep my energy safe and focused.
Let’s explore each one and why they matter.
1. Ground
Before I do anything, I ground myself. This means I consciously bring my awareness into my body and connect with the Earth’s energy. Grounding allows me to feel stable, clear, and present. It stops me from floating off in the clouds and ensures that everything I do is anchored in the here and now. I imagine roots growing from the soles of my feet deep into the Earth, reminding me that I am held, supported, and safe.
✨ Why it matters: Without grounding, your energy can become scattered or unbalanced, and it’s much easier to feel drained or emotionally overwhelmed.
2. Connect to Source
Next, I connect to Source, or as some may call it, Divine energy, the Universe, God, Spirit, or Light. I visualise a beautiful stream of pure white light flowing down through my crown, filling my body with high vibrational energy. This is where I draw my strength and clarity from. It reminds me that I’m never working alone, this is a partnership with the Divine.
✨ Why it matters: When you’re tapped into Source, your messages flow more clearly, your intuition is sharper, and your energy feels replenished rather than depleted.
3. Open My Energy Field & Invite My Spirit Team In
Once I’m grounded and connected, I open up my energy field. Think of it like gently opening the curtains to let the light in. I then invite in my Spirit Team, my guides, angels, ancestors, and any benevolent beings of love and light who wish to support me. I always ask that only those working in my highest good and the highest good of whoever I’m working with be present.
✨ Why it matters: You’re not doing this work alone. Your Spirit Team are your cheerleaders, gatekeepers, and collaborators. Inviting them in creates a sacred, supported space for the work to unfold.
4. Set My Intention
Intentions are everything in spiritual work. Before I begin, I state clearly what I am here to do. Whether I’m connecting with a loved one in Spirit, channeling healing, or guiding someone through their awakening, I hold that intention at the forefront of my heart. This ensures that the energy is aligned and that I’m a clear channel for what is meant to come through.
✨ Why it matters: Intention acts like a compass, it keeps your energy focused, your channel clean, and your work purposeful.
5. Set Protections
Finally, I set energetic protections. I ask for my energy to be sealed in light and for any lower vibrations or energies not in alignment with love to be cleared and kept away. I visualise a protective shield around me, sometimes made of golden light, mirrors, or even sacred geometry. Protection isn’t about fear, it’s about discernment and sovereignty.
✨ Why it matters: Protection helps you stay in your own energy, avoid absorbing other people’s emotions or spiritual residue, and ensures you’re not left feeling drained after your work.
These five steps are non-negotiables for me.
They create the foundation for everything I do. If you’re exploring your own spiritual path or just beginning to open up to your abilities, I invite you to make these practices your own. Your energy is sacred, honour it, protect it, and nurture it.
