Episode 14 :: Spiritual Gifts in a Practical World
How do you navigate everyday life when you can sense energies others can't feel, hear guidance others can't hear, and see truths others can't see? In this deeply practical episode, Jac & Jess explore what it means to live as a spiritually gifted person in a world that doesn't always understand or acknowledge these abilities. They share vulnerable stories about their own journeys—from Jac's father's surprised validation of her channeling gifts to Jess's careful practice of waiting for invitations before sharing her wisdom. This conversation illuminates the daily reality of being a spiritual practitioner: the blessings, the challenges, and the responsibility that comes with seeing beyond the veil.
The heart of this episode centers on discovering and embodying your "character"—the specific version of yourself your soul chose to be in this lifetime. Jac channels profound wisdom about why you incarnated as the unique person you are, complete with your particular gifts, passions, and mission. The episode addresses crucial questions: How do you practice and refine your spiritual gifts? Why does intuition sometimes feel quiet or uncertain? What's the difference between gut feelings and true soul guidance? And perhaps most importantly—how do you stay yourself when the world wants you to be someone else?

The fundamental difference between intuition and gut feelings (and why it matters)

Key Concepts Clarified:
Intuition vs. Gut Feeling - Intuition is a divine compass from Source that flows through your heart, providing clear guidance aligned with your highest good. Gut feelings are more animal/instinctual responses from your physical body. Both are valuable, but intuition comes from your soul's connection to the Divine.
Your Character - The specific version of yourself your soul chose to embody in this lifetime. It's like a costume or avatar your soul designed before incarnating—complete with particular gifts, passions, and physical traits. When you're "in character," you feel aligned and magnetic. When you're "out of character," you feel dissonant and off-path.
Integration - The process of becoming whole by bringing all parts of yourself together. When you're integrated, your soul lives fully in your body, you're "the whole puzzle," and all parts of you want the same things. This is essential for your spiritual gifts to work clearly.
Spiritual Gift Practice - Like any skill, spiritual gifts require consistent practice to refine. Sometimes during training, gifts may seem to weaken or change—this is actually progress as you're releasing old patterns and developing more refined abilities. Trust the process.
Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet - The journey of openly embracing and sharing your spiritual gifts and beliefs with others, especially family and friends who may not understand. This requires courage, boundaries, and the confidence to be yourself regardless of others' skepticism.
Divine Guidance vs. Personal Guides - Some people (like Jac) work very closely with their spiritual guides throughout the day, while others (like Jess) work more independently with occasional guide support. Both approaches are valid—it depends on your soul's design and your specific gifts.
The Flame - Your soul is a flame of Divine energy that descends from Source into your human body. This flame flows through your entire being, animating it. You are not your body—your body belongs to your soul. The body is like an avatar that the soul (you) operates.
Commanding Your Energy - A powerful practice of calling your own soul energy back to yourself by stating "I command myself." This reestablishes your sovereignty and strengthens your magnetic connection to your true self.

Jac & Jess offer practical guidance on everything from choosing the right water (yes, water quality matters that much!) to working with your spiritual guides, understanding when you're "out of character," and dealing with family members who don't understand your path. They discuss the importance of having teachers who can help refine your gifts, why some abilities seem to disappear during spiritual training (and why that's actually progress), and how to know when you're truly magnetized to yourself.
The episode concludes with a powerful channeling meditation designed to help you command your own energy back, feel the magnetic pull of your soul, and align with the character you came here to be. Whether you're just discovering your gifts or you've been practicing for years, this episode offers the validation and practical tools you need to live authentically as a spiritual being in human form.
