Time to Release Control: Why Your Spirit Guides Are Waiting for You to Let Go

In this episode, we dive into one of the most challenging aspects of the spiritual journey: truly letting go of control and trusting your spirit team and Source. Andrea shares personal experiences about the pitfalls of "micromanaging" your guides, explaining how the human need for instant results and predictable paths can actually create friction and block the very support you are asking for.

Even when taking divinely inspired action, releasing attachment to how and when things manifest is essential to opening yourself up to what your soul truly needs, which is often far greater than what the human mind can envision.

Andrea then provides actionable insights on how to shift from this place of resistance into a state of flow. Listeners will learn three practical ways to release the need for control: looking for somatic answers by releasing tension within the physical body (with a shout-out to Archangel Michael), actively deprogramming cultural expectations around goal achievement, and focusing on building a relationship of trust and communication with your spirit team. 

Ultimately, this episode is a powerful reminder that while surrendering to flow makes the journey easier, you always retain free will, and the final decision on how you live your life is always yours.

Welcome to your spiritual insight. In this session, we are going to talk about how we can better hand over control to our spirit team and source when it comes to expecting something specific in our life to happen when we really need to release control. One of the hardest parts on your spiritual journey is this process of letting go, releasing the human need to control every single aspect or detail and wanting to know the exact path. Letting go allows your spirit team and higher source to guide you and to bring you what you're supposed to have. Instead of us squeezing onto control and making things harder on this, because I experience this on a very frequent basis, is that if I let go, my spirit team can guide me better when I am mentally bringing the solution, when I am mentally expecting something, when I am forcing it, it actually makes it harder for them to do their jobs. Even if you are taking action on what they have told you to do, you still must release the outcomes, release the control over exactly how you think it should manifest. And again, I know this is really hard. We tend to think, well, my guides told me to go do XYZ. Maybe, for example, write a book, and now it's doing nothing. That's our thought. I did it and now it's going absolutely nowhere. We assume that the book was supposed to be this giant success. We assume that it was supposed to be instant results. After all, our guides told us to go do it. But in reality, maybe that book writing was meant to be part of your journey and not the actual ultimate destination. There might be something that you're getting that's going to have a major impact on you 10 years from now because you wrote that book. From the human perspective, we can't always see exactly what the result should be instantly. So we think everything should be instantly, and we don't understand because we can't see it, because maybe we're not supposed to see it. It's part of this journey. Instead, what we really need to do is trust and let go of the control over every single aspect. Now, I know this is hard. I've said that multiple times because this is probably my biggest issue. I really want to control how everything functions. So I am going to give you three things that you can do to help let go of this. And then one thing to keep in mind as you are going through this journey. So the very first thing that you can do to help yourself let go of the need to control is to look for answers in your physical body. Archangel Michael actually taught me this last week. He gave me an exercise we can run through. I have a YouTube video on that. I'll put the link in the description for you. But what he was showing me is that a lot of times we're blocked and overwhelmed because we're still holding on to the tensions and the expectations and the anxiety in our physical body. So we might want to let go. We might think, yes, this is the way to let go, but in reality, our body is holding on to everything we can't let go because it is creating this unease. So what can you do with this? Well, like I said, I got that exercise that Archangel Michael gave us. But the other thing you can do is just really work on self-care, relaxation exercises. We have four bodies our mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical, and they all work together and they all interact together, but that also means they can all block each other. And so if you've mentally let go, but your body is still holding on, it makes it really hard for you to fully release control. So you can start with just a body scan, see if there's anywhere in your body that's blocking things, and then release that. You can do a daily meditation practice. There's a lot of ways to relax your body to open up control, or rather, releasing control. All right, that takes us to the next thing, and that is releasing expectations. To me, this is the biggest one. This is the one where, as humans, we get completely glitched. And it's because we are in our society very programmed for goal setting and achievement in the here and now. We plot out every aspect of what we need to do by when we're gonna do it and have it completely done. This is how we're taught. This is what we expect in our lives. But sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. And those times it doesn't work is because our spirit team has a totally different plan for us. Now, how do we release expectations, function in the way we've been taught, and still allow spirit to take over? It does not mean we stop setting goals, they do serve a very useful purpose. Without them, it's easy to get distracted and not actively work towards what we want. We start wandering. However, what we do is we set goals, we work them, and then release the expectation of achievement. Now, I know that's hard and it goes back to how we're trained. But when we release the need to have something happen at the exact moment that we plan it, or the exact way that we plan it, we can become very, very glitched because that might not be what we need. We also have to keep in mind that when we start a goal, when we start doing something, we have one set of perspectives, one set of skills, one set of knowledge about ourselves. But when we finish, we are different. The world is different. There's different perspectives, different skills, even if this is just simply the next day. And so with that new perspective, skills, and knowledge, that might have actually been what you needed, not the actual success. Or maybe that was setting you up for something bigger three jobs from now. So you were looking for an example right this second, but that was part of the process to get you somewhere much further in the future. Now, I recently actually had a really big issue with this. I was overly frustrated with the speed of my personal soul healing journey. And I have had a lot to do in this life. That was part of my incarnation plan was to take care of a lot of these soul wounds in one fell swoop. But I was getting very frustrated. I'm like, seriously, we're still going. And my guide's response was you're looking 10 years down the road. We're looking lifetimes down the road. Now I know that doesn't make it easier, but when we release what our expectations are, then we can actually be given what our soul needs are. And that allows our spirit team to bring in more of that soul need. Which brings us to the next thing. We need to build relationship with our source and spirit guides. So just like you have a relationship with your partner, your siblings, your parents, your friends, you need to develop a relationship with your spirit team. It is hard to let control go of control to them when you haven't built up enough trust with them. Would you hand over control of all of your life decisions to somebody that you just met an hour ago? I really hope you said no to that. Because instead, you are going to work to build a relation of trust, love, and understanding. You build your trust with them through each experience and connection. And this is what you do with your guides also. When you have built this up, this trust factor up, it is easier to turn over control. You have a proven track record of being able to trust them, or maybe being able to trust them in certain situations. It is easier to accept when they say not yet, or it's time to pivot again, when you've already had history with them. Now, one way that you can do this and at the same time track what transpires from what they said is to keep an intuition log. This allows you to learn your own intuition better. It allows you to learn when and how they give you different pieces of information, and it teaches you how to it tracks whether it was right or not. So you can start to learn how to better trust them. Now, side note here: this trust building can take time. While you're building your set of skills for communicating with them, and you're building a relationship with them and learning your own gifts. This is a lot to learn, and you need to allow this to unfold naturally and release the expectation that you're going to be able to do it in one month. It might take you 10 plus years to really establish that trust. It might take you a year. It's all depends on you and your team and how this all plays out. Which actually brings me to my final point and kind of more of a heads up. And that is ultimately you need to trust yourself. With everything I've said about releasing control, the final point that you need to remember is we all have free will and full control over what we do or do not do. If your spirit guides recommend you do something and it doesn't sit well with you, then do not do it. You are the final decision maker on what you do, not them. While they can see things we don't, we know what it's like to be human. They are focused on ensuring that you achieve your incarnation plans, no matter how. That is the purpose of your spirit guides. You make some incarnation plans, they agree to guide you, and they push you to accomplish them. We, as humans, are focused on achieving them with as little pain as possible. So these can be at odds. And so you ultimately have to remember it's your life. And while turning over control will allow things to flow easier because you're not fighting things, you're not, you know, pushing things in the wrong direction. It's also not always the right answer. You need to trust yourself too. I hope this helps you kind of release some of that anxiety that you need to control everything. This week I do have some new content that will help you with this. The first is that video that I told you about from Archangel Michael, where he shares a technique on how to tap into what your body is still holding. I also released a Reiki video to help you develop self-love so that it's easier to implement all of this. I will put the links to those in the show notes. Thank you so much for joining me this week. I hope you have a fabulous weekend and we'll chat later.
