The future of your business feels shaky. The pandemic is crushing the economy and you're worried you won't be able to find new clients. You're telling yourself, "People can't pay me right now; they can't even pay their bills!" I get it. I had similar fear when I first started my business. But I discovered that when I tapped into my divine guidance system, I had nothing to fear. I was able to receive the answers I'd been looking for and intuitively knew the next steps to take to move me forward in alignment.

Welcome to, she grows a podcast for soul guided women entrepreneurs. Ready to grow their income, impact and inspiration.
Each week we're going to explore how to align to the soul of your business and grow it from there. I'm your host, Allyson Scammell. Let's get growing.
Hey, there, she grows nation. That is the name of this sisterhood of soul guided entrepreneurs. As she grows nation, your heart is CEO and you're producing wealth using your soul superpowers, and the divine guidance system will be unpacking in this episode. So let's start by explaining what your divine guidance system consists of.
We are all born with a guidance system that is here to hold us, support us, guide, and direct us on our path so we can be continually. Shifting into greater alignment to our soul's mission, so we're able to achieve all the things that we set forth to achieve in this lifetime. The first part of your system.
And most important is the voice of your soul. That's your higher self, your heart, your intuition. It comes to you from your heart chakra, the area at the center of your chest. This is the only voice that can come in through your heart, and this is your primary voice. This is the voice that should be heated above all others because this voice is part of you.
It's part of your soul. The second is the voice of your spirit guides and other nonphysical consciousness that is here to support you. They have been with you, your, your, your primary spirit guides have been with you your whole life. They communicate to you through your third eye chakra and. Your guides will always give you advice or guidance or information that is in alignment to or in support of your voice of intuition.
The third voice is that of universal intelligence. That is the collective consciousness of all things that is always speaking and interacting with you even when you don't realize it. And the fourth and very important part of your guidance system is emotional and physical cues. Your feeling States and physical sensations are always speaking to you and informing you when something is on track or off track.
So how do you connect to the system to receive. The divine guidance on what to do in your business, who to serve, how to market, all the questions that pop up on a daily basis. And episode number 22 I shared the four step process to connecting to your higher self and spirit guides. If you haven't had a chance to listen to that episode, I do highly recommend it.
As a reminder, those four steps are to get quiet. To pivot down and place your awareness on your heart shock, grow your heart space, ask questions, and receive the answers. A great way to implement this four step process is simply through journaling. You could do it as simply as starting with a free flowing stream of consciousness release.
Just allowing everything on your mind to flow out onto the pages. Then by sinking down into that heart space and asking specific questions to your guidance system, to your higher self, to your spirit guides, the questions you ask activates your divine guidance system. Even if you don't receive the answers to your questions in that moment, in that moment of journaling out the questions.
So the trick, the secret is to be open and aware and mindful in the hours and days after you journaled the questions. So you can look. And be open and receive the answers as they come in. This is a really important part of it, and it can come in by overhearing a conversation. It can come in through a newspaper article you felt called to read something.
Universal intelligence replies to you. In mysterious ways, and you will know using your intuitive gifts, using your clear cognizant gift. That gift of inner knowing whether or not that information you heard or read that's triggering you is actually the answer to your question. And if you think it's the answer, then you are likely right.
Your lizard brain that's always trying to keep you safe. Your rational brain will second guess it and we'll say, Oh, well, that was just a coincidence. And if that happens, if you get into second guessing, go back to the four steps, take some deep breaths, ask the question. It can be very simple to your higher self.
Was that conversation I overheard that triggered me. Um, meant for me and if you hear see sense or no, yes. Coming from your heart, then you have your answer. I want to give you an example of how this showed up in my life. I was taking a retreat at the Monroe Institute and there was a man there named Gary Mulkin, who I have interviewed.
On my YouTube channel many years ago, and he is a very well known and extremely gifted composer. He's a Emmy award winning composer who's now doing all sorts of amazing things and I very much plan to get him on this show, hopefully in the next couple months. And at the time my personal life was in shambles and I was in a relationship that was bringing me a lot of pain.
And I really blamed my partner at the time for causing me all that pain. I was just completely immersed in a world of victim hood that he was doing all of this to me. He was creating all of this pain, and I remember so well, Gary. Talking to someone else at the lunch table, telling the story of when he went to see Byron Katie live and an event, and in this story there was a line of people.
Waiting to talk to Byron Katie and at the time Gary himself was also in a world of pain also thinking that life had dealt him a bad deck and that he was the victim of people trying to hurt him. He was going through divorce and somehow he environ Katie's eyes locked and she pointed at him and said, you hear now.
So he walked to the head of the line and she said, what is your pain and suffering? And he said, my wife's leaving me and I'm a victim. And she said, stop handing your power away to others. And she used her famous question, is it true? Is it really true that your a victim, that she did this to you? And just recalling the story puts tears in my eyes because.
His story hit me like a ton of bricks. As I said at the time, we were sitting at the lunch table and he wasn't speaking to me. I was quietly listening to him share the story. But I knew in that moment it was all for me. It was all for me and exactly what I needed to hear, and that was my guides, the universe.
That was my divine guidance system, speaking to me, saying, Alison, bye. Taking on this victim energy. You are handing all your power away. Nobody has done anything to you. No one is causing you pain and suffering except for yourself. And I broke down and started crying at the table and people were looking at me like, what happened to her?
What's happening over there? And I told Gary this story. I said, my God, you retold that story and I thought that you were talking directly to me and he was so touched that I could be so open and aware to, you know exactly what I'm talking about here, this divine guidance system. So it's always speaking to you always.
So it may not be in the form of you channeling. Your arch angels and they giving you great visions, it could look like that, but it need not the only thing you have to be as aware and open to receiving the answers. So getting back to the journaling, if you ask a question and it arrives to you in some way, shape, or form, then journal it.
Journal the answers that you receive to the questions because a story starts to appear, a story of questions and answers, answers that feel aligned. Correct in alignment. And when you start to get that alignment working more and more in your favor, you start to build that trust muscle to your system because your brain will try to cut that trust system off.
And your. Rational brain that's here to keep you safe. Well, it tell you to stay safe. Stay in your comfort zone. Don't take the risk. Do what has worked in the past. And Oh, by the way, if you're trying to do something new and you don't have tangible evidence that it's working in this moment, then you are failing.
Then you are off track. So you should abandon effort and go back to what you know works. Go back to the proven record of success and you know, take that new dream of yours off the table while your divine guidance system will be asking you to go in the different direction. To the edges of your comfort zone to that more truer, more authentic part of you that maybe you've never shared with others before.
Guess what. Your divine guidance system often makes you feel uncomfortable, which is an inevitable part of growth because your system is always pushing you to soul growth. That's what it's pushing you towards. Whilst your brain is always pushing you to safety.
And the best way, the absolute best way to cultivate a deeper connection and build greater trust to your divine guidance system is through some sort of daily spiritual practice or discipline. And that spiritual practice can be in what ever form your heart is calling of you. Mine always includes some form of getting quiet, some form of physical movement.
Some form of releasing fears or resistance and some form of tuning into my higher self and spirit guides. Sometimes my spiritual practice takes about two to three minutes. Sometimes it takes 90 minutes. It just depends on the day and where I am and, and you know what, what I really need in that moment.
Let's move to exactly how to ask questions of your higher self and your spirit guides in your spiritual practice. When you're speaking to your higher self, which answers you from your heart chakra, those answers will always come to you in few words. So it's helpful to ask questions in a way that enables answers of few words to be useful.
So that means less. Open ended questions, yes or no questions to the higher self are great or, um, questions that can really serve you and guide you and be helpful to you that are only of a few words coming in, you know, which month should I launch my program? Should I launch it in may or June? Should I hire a virtual assistant?
Should I invest in that coaching program right now? Or if not, now, when should I invest in that coaching program? The answer will arise from the heart space, like a feeling. For your spirit guides or the other non-physical guidance that's here to guide and support you, you can ask them more open ended questions and this is a really good idea to also develop your intuitive gifts, and that is how you receive answers from.
From your higher self or from spirit guides. So are you clairaudient? You hear the answers? Are you clairvoyant? You see the answers? Are you clear cognizant, you know the answers? Or are you clear sentience? You sense the answers. And if you are clear, cognizant or clear sentience, um, just be mindful. That sometimes you sense the answer or just have an inner knowing of the answer, but you're looking to see or hear something and if you don't see or hear something, then you neglect to see or rather you neglect to recognize or you second guess that inner knowing or that sense of what is and that sense of what is the exact truth.
Spirit guides come in many forms. They come in the form of angels, arch angels, saints, orbs, consciousness inside the earth, and you can call on different guides for different problems. There are relationship guides, creative guides, financial guides, you name it. There is consciousness out there that has specific expertise.
And that are here to guide and support you. I call a my guides right now to get very specific about what's happening on planet with coven 19 and how that impacts my life and how that impacts my business. In fact, I've asked them repeatedly because sometimes I just need to hear the answer more than once.
Uh, when is the best time to launch my new program, which is going to be a mastermind that I'm launching this year. And they have guided me to launch it in may and my fear coming, my from my brain has said to me, Oh, you know, may is not the time people don't have the money. They're too distracted by the pandemic.
But my guides have been very clear with me. May is the time. May is when your people need you. This too shall pass. And the world needs light workers and soul guided entrepreneurs. Now more than ever who are producing wealth, enabling them to reach larger audiences and be in service to more people. And when I feel into that advice, I get a full yes from my entire divine guidance system.
My higher self says yes. My emotions say yes in that it's triggering feeling States of freedom, abundance, creativity, love, connection, and joy. My physical body says yes through physical feelings of lightness, tingling, and expansion. Using this system can guide you through any uncertain times. It is more reliable than looking at past performance, especially now, because as the entire world is being rattled and shaken up and we're going through a massive restructuring on planet right now, what has worked in the past.
May not work any more. So that holds true of. Marketing and sales and digital marketing and Facebook ads and all the things that we do in our businesses to promote our work. It may start to look differently as we go forward. I mean, if you have a brick and mortar business like one of my clients does, she had to quickly and swiftly move everything to online.
At the moment. Until she can go back to her brick and mortar building. And when she does go back, things may and will probably look much different than they did before. So what had worked for her is no longer working. Does that mean she should just pack up and go home or, you know, give up hell to the no.
It means the opposite of that. It means that we now more than ever, need to plug in to our divine guidance system to tell us, to point us in the direction to what will work, who are the clients we're here to serve? What are the offerings. That allow me to be in full immersion of my soul, super powers, my genius, my unique genius, so I can be in greatest service to them and their struggles so I can help them achieve their biggest desires.
And your divine guidance system will point you in that direction over and over and over again. And your brain will reject some of it. Doubt it. Second guess it, and that's fine. Your brain gets a vote. It gets a say. Allow it to say, reassure it. I hear you brain. In my case, I hear your brain. You want me to launch my mastermind in September?
You want me to wait until 2021 and just ride this thing out so I'm safe. But guess what? When I really tune into that, when I go to my emotional cues, should I wait to launch my mastermind until 2021 that feels awful physically, that feels constricting, heavy, confining. My entire divine guidance system is telling me, don't wait.
It's uncertain and I don't know how this is going to end and I really have to surrender, but my guidance system is saying, now is the time. Now is the time to launch. Now is the time to Uplevel. Now is the time to be bigger. Shine my light brighter. And be in greater service to the people I feel called to serve.
So if the voice in your heart is calling you. To step up right now and be the brighter light and offer the programs, offer the goods and services to the people you feel called to serve. Then your divine guidance system is saying, yes, your soul is ready. Your soul is ready to step up. You are a light worker.
You are a soul guide. An entrepreneur. And you're ready to be a spiritual leader through this time of restructuring and uncertainty and your people, they don't want you. They need you. They need you, and it can look very subtle. Spiritual leadership is very subtle. It doesn't look like the past. Examples, getting back to what used to work is no longer gonna work.
It's not masculine. It's not authoritative. It's not directive. Spiritual leadership is being an example of what is possible. It is creating from a heart to people that you agreed to serve before you even came into this lifetime. Spiritual leadership. Okay. Is a state of being, you don't even have to do anything.
You just have to be the authentic you and in being you, you're modeling what right looks like to the people who need to see that. Not everybody needs to see this. Ma, your modeling, your particular modeling, not everyone needs to see my modeling. But if your divine guidance system is saying yes, if you're getting a full yes to what I'm saying, then maybe you are my people and I am modeling something that is inspiring you, motivating you, and I'm encouraging you to step up to be your best self.
Step up and launched that program even when you're not sure, even when you fear the unknown. Even when you don't have past performance indicators to rely on and you're doing something completely new and different because all of us, the whole world has been pushed into a place where we're forced to do something and live in a way that's completely new and different.
So let's embrace it. Let's be leaders, spiritual leaders in it. Let's be on the cutting edge of it. And let's know, let's tap into our inner knowing. We're not alone. We don't have to go about it alone. We don't really have to guess. What we have to do is plug in to our divine guidance system for support, nurturing, and guidance.
So my dear friends, my challenge to you is to start to or continue to get to know better your divine guidance system. What are your emotional cues and physical cues that tell you you're on track or off track? What is your dominant intuitive gift when you talk to your higher self? Or non-physical consciousness?
Do you see it here at sensitive or know it? When you're speaking to your guides or intuitive self, is it better? Is it easier for you to ask open ended questions or specific yes, no questions. Get to know, spend time with. Consciously mindfully on a daily basis with your divine guidance system in fuse, the answers and the guidance you receive into the inspired action you take to grow your business and in to your business plans and strategy.
And when you do that, you will start to see results. You will start to grow, you will produce more wealth, and it will feel easier. It will feel more in flow, and it will feel more in alignment. Then. Any other way you could run your business and if you would like some support in tuning into and connecting to your divine guidance system.
