Holly: Hello and welcome to the Ready to Bloom, episode 116. This is your host Holly Worton and I am here with today’s special guest Cara Wilde.

Cara is a channel, a portal for the non-physical, and she helps people open-up to the love that is available from the non-physical. Cara passionately believes that people’s uniqueness is their genius and that their soul had a plan for this lifetime. She helps highly sensitive people to truly feel at home in physical reality; to belong, and to live the life that they were born to live. Welcome Cara!

Cara: Hi Holly! Thanks for having me, it is great to be here.

Holly: I am so excited to have you back on the show!

Cara: [Laughing]

Holly: For those who have been listening since the beginning, or perhaps haven’t, Cara was originally with us on episode 13, so way back in the first year of this podcast. So, thank you for joining us again!

Cara: You are welcome!

Holly: And why don’t you start out by having you tell us a little bit about your background and your business journey, and how you got where you are today?

Cara: Okay, well my business is kind of like a bit of a happy accident, it felt like because I was working self-employed as an energy practitioner, as I am an NLP practitioner as well, and I made some big changes in my life and fell in love with my partner, and opened up to meeting a new guide called Aurora, who said that they wanted to… me to channel them. Which felt very strange to begin with even though I had been working with guides mentally for a long time.

So, I started to do channel-ings at home and then I got a message for a friend, who had a serious heart issue – I passed on this message, he then wanted a reading and he had got a list before I even knew what lists were, and I ended up giving readings and we were building the business around doing the readings, really. So, busy trying to catch up and my business, and still is, a web-designer. So, it was all just really perfect.

And then that’s when it started to go wrong! [Both: laughing] Because it was too good to be true, and I kind of crashed and I kind of put a hold on things. I sabotaged as much as I possibly could, without really knowing what I was doing. And then started working personally with Aurora to kind of build a really strong foundation in what I would say is, like, my core self.

So, she, or they, went on to do a process which helped me to verbally channel my soul, which just sounds unbelievable and it was just kind of epic but it really put me in touch with how I really felt and how sensitive I was and what my feelings… what was really going on in my inner world and then I spent quite a lot of time kind of clearing that up using energy techniques… clearing that up, that sounds like it was really mucky and murky in there… but just really getting to know myself in a completely different way. And now my business is built on stronger foundations because of that work and now that’s part of the work that I am coming to, it is like a partnership between me and Aurora, really. Does that make sense?

Holly: Yeah it does. So, why don’t you tell us a little bit more about Aurora? Because, I obviously have worked with you and with her, but I think some of your listeners might not know exactly what we mean when we refer to a non-physical being.

Cara: Okay, so there are beings that don’t have a physical body, and we quite often refer to them as guides. And, Aurora is a guide really, a being that is not physical, just a stream of energy and I connect with her energetically – I should say they, because when I start channeling, because they are a collective of beings. So, anybody that knows Abraham or Story Waters, or Bashar – not Bashar that’s an individual. These are like collective beings that are just energy streams, so when I blend my energy with theirs, and in the teaching that I do, helping other people to do this. We blend energies, and my energy system translates what they send in terms of tones, into words and I speak those words to people and I give readings, or I pass messages on.

Holly: Okay, so, Aurora then, when you are channeling them, as you have said it is a number of beings that come together, kind of blended into one stream of information?

Cara: Yes, yes, so you did that so much better than I did.

Both: [laughing]

Cara: It is just…and my experience has been as well that when people… Aurora kind of is like an extension of my personality, so I am quite bubbly and quite lively when I am in a good space, and they are even more so. So, I have noticed that when people connect with collective of beings, or sometimes it can just be one guide, you know one kind of personality. But it quite often reflects the personality that is channeling too.

Holly: Mm does it mean then that they are drawn to you because of your personality, or are you attracting them because you have similar energies. Or, do they adapt to you?

Cara: Well I think, I could say yes to all of that. My experience has been that part of them, I mean if we use words like higher and lower, so part of them reaching down with their energy, and us reaching up, is the overlap, is the similarity. If that makes sense? But also, guides are drawn to work with us because they learn as much from us working with us, as we do working with them. So, they are drawn to work with us when it is a joint purpose, when there is a shared purpose, and personality does seem to come into that as well.

Holly: Mm, now when you first started channeling Orion, were you completely open to what was going on? Or, was there any part of you that was kind of apprehensive, or…?

Cara: No, I was really surprised by what came up for me, I didn’t realise how much in my psyche I had been imprinted with religion and some of my background was in the spiritualist church which very much talks about negative entities and things. So, I had that kind of fear of exactly what it is that I am channeling? Am I going out of my mind? Mental illness has been my biggest fear [laughing].

You know, so, I had those fears coming up. And if you ever hear me channel Aurora, my voice changes; and I even try to fake that voice change, to see if I was making it up [laughing]. When I was in the shower so nobody else could hear me [laughing] just to see… make sure that I have not you know discovered it, I’ve got a split personality of something. It was a really crazy time and I am really grateful for the grounded people that I had around me. What was really good about that, was that it gave me an opportunity to really decide for myself what was going on, and what my beliefs were about. You know, like good and evil, and things like that, I am really glad that it happened that way.

Holly: Mm so before we move on, I am sure that a lot of people are wondering about the topic of good and evil, is it possible to connect with negative entities and how to avoid that, because I think that it is a fear that comes up for some people.

Cara: It is and it is something that I go into quite a lot when I am working with people. It comes up every time I connect with people, every time. It is the biggest question and I think it is rich. And, there is no really easy answer apart from intention is so powerful. Now, I don’t believe in evil, I just don’t, that’s my personal belief system, but I believe in fear, and I also believe that there are thought forms, you know. Anybody who has had a bad day and they walk into a room, you can feel it, if you are sensitive to that energy. So, it, you can get into fear, you can question yourself, that’s more what comes up. I have never, never come across when I have opened up fully with the intention to connecting to love I have never bumped into anything else up there. And that’s what I always suggest, it’s the intention. And you get to choose who you invite into your energy system. You are a sovereign being.

Holly: That makes sense, that makes sense. So, since you have connected with Aurora and you have started channeling them. How has that changed your business?

Cara: Well, I have one and I didn’t think I was going to have one before. But I suppose, yeah how has it changed my business? I suppose – do you mean in relation to how you can use guides?

Holly: I guess so. Maybe it has given you more confidence in yourself? Or, it has given you insights and information? Has it helped you connect with perhaps information or downloads that you didn’t have available to you? That kind of thing?

Cara: Well, the biggest thing, which I think is a bit of a surprise really. The biggest gift it has been to my business, is the amount of love that you feel, connecting with a non-physical being like that; and especially when you do the energy exchange part of it, there is no questioning the fact that you are loved unconditionally right now. So, all the parts of you that you have hidden, you know, all your authenticity, comes rushing up to the surface going: ‘oh my god it is playtime, we can come out now, we are loved!’ And that’s the biggest gift that I think channeling has given me in my business, and my life, is: I have got a connection with something that is just my cheerleader. My friend. My… you know, I have had some real arguments with my guide, and it sounds really… [laughing] this is going to sound …. You know there is something there for me that supports me exactly how I am and that puts you in a really powerful place for stepping out of people-pleasing, being more authentic, being more vulnerable, and they are all qualities that people are just desperate to have in businesses. You know, from a client’s point of view, everybody wants authenticity, to be able to trust people, to connect in a real valid way and that’s the surprising side that comes with channeling your guide.

Holly: I like that! That’s definitely attractive! [laughing].

Cara: Yeah. But it doesn’t just happen overnight and the guide won’t do it all for you, but it does make that journey a lot easier.

Holly: So, how long had you been practising this before you really felt: this is easy I have got this, it is like riding a bicycle. I have gotten over the learning curve and I can just do it.

Cara: The channeling? I was giving paid readings within a few weeks.

Holly: Oh wow, fast!

Cara: Yeah! I don’t know I would do it that quick again, but then I wouldn’t have got all the learning. So, yeah, actually being able to sit, and [for the guides to] show up, I think, you know, a couple of months – but I have been working with spirit since I was about 17, so… Yeah, a couple of months to get to that place, it is a lot easier, and a lot quicker, than you think. And I always encourage my students to practise on somebody else, as soon as possible, because it is a lot easier than you think, especially when you do the energy blend of it. Yeah.

Holly: Excellent. So, could you tell us a little bit about, for people who want to connect with their guides, what are your top tips on how to do that, because you have mentioned to me that there are some things that you need to look out for, and things you need to keep in mind.

Cara: Yeah, so, I think I mentioned to you before, mentally meeting a guide you could google that, or you could pick up a book really easily for a guided visualisation to learn how to mentally meet your guide. And the things that I would say to look out for, would be to think about, set your intention, the kind of guide that you want to work with: what is your purpose of connecting with your guide, what would you like to get out of it? So, people tend to have this, or in my experience, because of this hierarchy that we are taught, that guides are higher-beings, compared to us or something, and they are not. They have just got a wider perspective than [we have] in physical reality at the moment.

So, if you start thinking about it in terms of a partnership, and joint purpose, then that … you can set the intention to attract the crème de la crème guide for you, you know, go for the best! Set the intention and go for the best, the one that has got your joy at the centre of their heart’s purpose who want to see you expand and have a joyful life. So that would be the first one: intention and seeing it as a partnership. And then have a conversation about, you know, do you want to work with them, and get to be really comfortable in that mental chatter space first, and then I would really, really encourage people of finding ways to do an energy blend, so inviting that guide, once you feel comfortable with them, to work with you and blend energies, and then start to speak and channel your guide. It is a completely different experience than mentally connecting with your guide. If you were wanting to do that, then it would become about what kind of teacher you want to work with, really.

Holly: So, presumably once you start putting your feelers out there to make contact, they will approach you and obviously you don’t have to connect with the first guide that comes along?

Cara: No, not at all, and I would encourage you to be picky…because that’s part and process of… part and parcel sorry, of getting over the fears and doubts. My experience has been that there is no doubt, when you connect with a guide and when you set that intention, and you set the intention to go to the realms of love, Quite often we do that by thinking of going higher, or we connect with a feeling or a loved one, someone like a pet, and go into that open space, which is what channeling is and once we do that and we just ask to meet a guide… Because they are ready you know it is really easy, they are ready and we meet a guide and get that feeling of love, and we just know it’s right, but fears and doubts start afterwards. So, that’s when an energy blend and becoming your guide and starting to write or speak as your guide, can really help clear fears and doubts afterwards.

Holly: So, now then, just to make this clear for everyone who is listening, what then is the difference between mentally connecting with your guide and then channeling them.

Cara: Okay, so channeling means that you literally open up your energy channels and allow your guide’s energy to come into your own energy system and the best way to describe it, when I am becoming Aurora, it is like I grow into their energy and I become Aurora and Cara stays really small within me. So, like I put on an Aurora energy jacket [laughing] and I speak from that Aurora expanded place. So, I bring their energy down into physical reality, I become them, whereas when I have mentally spoken with guides, it is through the guided visualisation or I can see a picture of them and I hear their voice, and I is not that energy blend that I have spoken about.

Holly: Okay, and then the energy blend that’s something, it is a very specific process that you do and you can also guide people through?

Cara: Yes, and there might be… I am sure that there must be people who just spontaneously do it, I mean I just spontaneously did it and that’s what I would encourage your listeners to trust their guide. You know, I wasn’t going up to meet a guide with the intention of channeling, I was just like: ‘I wonder who wants to play’. Um, and then, Aurora took care of the energy channels, there are specific energy channels open and when I am channeling I see them in other people, but the guides seem to know what they’re doing. So, I am not sure if it is necessary to work with a teacher, it certainly wasn’t for me, however, it can be useful.

Holly: Mm I am sure that makes the process much easier.

Cara: Yeah, definitely.

Holly: Excellent. So, tell us a little it about how you work with people today to help the connect with their guides?

Cara: Well I have a course that they can join, and we have a Facebook group that goes along with that, and we have monthly calls as well for supporting with that, and I am intending to develop that into all of us channeling and doing group channelings together as well, because that’s real fun. I also offer VIP days where they can work one-to-one personally with me and Aurora to connect with their guide and start channeling straight away and giving readings and messages. And then if people want to go really deep with me, the other thing that I offer is working with both me and Aurora to do connecting with your soul, channeling your soul. And then learning how to express that in this lifetime.

Holly: So, can you tell us a little bit more about that, because I absolutely love the concept of connecting with your soul, because it is in there somewhere but it’s like we don’t really have contact with it, on a day-to-day basis.

Cara: No! Yes, exactly. Well, when Aurora first spoke to me about doing that, I was like ‘well I’ve got you… [laughing] what do I need to do that for?’ and so they started off just with taking me to the soul plane and then activating that soul with an energy that feels like pure potential. It is just a life force energy. And the first time that I channeled my soul, the whole process, it felt unbelievable, the difference between who I thought I was and how I really felt. I had no idea I was so bloody sensitive or that I had real specific needs, or desires that I wasn’t paying attention to. And I took this process out into a workshop and channeled it for people, a workshop in a weekend, and that was the overriding thing that came back: we just…we shove our desires down, you know and then we wonder why life’s not quite…it’s all right but it might be nourishing and really satisfying because we have got desires that we have learned to not listen to anymore. People rediscovered forgotten dreams, and I heard the voices of my soul like it was a collective sound of tones. It was…it was a really good experience.

Holly: [laughing] Sounds like it! Well, I think it is very interesting, because I think that so many times as entrepreneurs we are always told to be authentic, and to be ourselves online, and in our marketing, and in our web copy, and all that kind of stuff, but most of us really aren’t in touch with our authentic selves, if you want to go really, really, deep at the soul level.

Cara: Yeah, exactly. But it feels so natural when you do and a lot of things start to make sense. So, sometimes it feels like we are putting on a front, really, but that’s just the way that we have learnt to interact with the world and so it’s still us, it is just a varied form of us, if that makes sense. And I mean, I use my connection with my soul now, to help me make decisions. I am moving away from working with Aurora as much and more working directly with my soul. And it is leading me to make decisions that I didn’t think we’re part of my makeup. So, it is surprising who we are beneath that clock of conditioning, I call it. And it just seems like a journey back to ourselves, and authentic selves as a portal for ourselves in this lifetime. Our soul’s soul.

Holly: Because it is who you really are at a deep multi-life level.

Cara: Yeah, and, you know, if we are going to get… My global dream really…that people’s uniqueness is honoured and recognised and we have to start out with that ourselves, if we can’t accept ourselves or even know ourselves, how can the world? And I truly believe that there is a source that brought us into existence, not of God, it is a co-creation but we are a very unique part of a divine (what’s the word…?) jigsaw puzzle. Our uniqueness is needed and conformity never sparked genius. Uniqueness sparked genius and if we are going to solve some of these problems of our world, we need unique ways of thinking.

Holly: Yes definitely.

Cara: So, it is beautiful. But we have got to start with ourselves, and give ourselves a break. This is…it’s not easy to do, it’s not easy to do.

Holly: It’s something that we are not…obviously not taught in school, but not, you know, parents didn’t teach us about it, it is not something that is kind of part of the normal, usual, everyday life thing. It is very special and I think very few people are just starting to become connected to these things and starting to take this kind of action.

Cara: Exactly, and it can be scary. You know, when I got in touch with my truth authenticity in this lifetime, I thought ‘I’m not showing that to the world’.

Holly: [Laughing]

Cara: I am not sharing that with the world- it is far too vulnerable! But, actually, that was because I didn’t have a strong connection with that part of myself. Now, it feels like my strength and not my vulnerability.

Holly: And have you started sharing more of that to the world since you made that connection?

Cara: Yes, I have. It has changed how I interact with people in that… I am really quite a lot more quiet and reserved. I mean I’m not, when I am in the right company, I am like this you know. But you know, I get sensory overwhelm and sensory stimulated quite easily and so when, for example, when I got to my cross-work gym everybody is full of life and talking and it is just too much for me and I am really happy to just be quiet. Whereas before, I was brought up in a very extroverted environment and I would have felt like a failure if I couldn’t have been the life and soul of the party. But, more interesting for me, is, it is making me choose goals that I would never have chosen for myself. I am making different choices in my life and I am seeing myself in completely different ways, so a soul’s goal, the way that I kind of begin to recognise that now, and it can be a tiny, tiny goal for the day or it can be a bigger life-long goal is that there’s a sense of exhilaration and fear at the same time and it is more in terms of being more comfortable with who we are and who I am and connecting with people in that way, but also about making more satisfying choices for myself. Does that make sense?

Holly: Definitely, definitely – excellent. So, Cara do you have any women business mentors or are there any women entrepreneurs who inspire you? Perhaps somebody that you can see starting to tap into this deeper version of themselves in expressing this?

Cara: Yeah, I have got two people and they are my friends actually. So, there’s Jane Talbot, she is… She is just this essence of authenticity and leaping into adventure with just a ‘have a go’ attitude. And she, she’s just having her first book published which came, her deciding to write a book came after following the impulse of adventure. Her story is just wonderful if you just want to learn how to follow the importance of adventure, it is amazing. And then there is Kate Trafford. Kate Trafford of Cruise Control for Life, who is just she is just the essence of unconditional love, I think. And she has really taught me, and teaches people how to stop driving so hard, and allow things to be more effortless… she’s definitely about flow.

Holly: Excellent. Thank you so much.

Cara: You are welcome, it has been a pleasure.

Holly: Thank you so much for joining us today and sharing all of this very, very, fascinating information, because every time I talk to you about channeling, it just makes me want to do it more, I have to say. I have not connected in a long time with my guide.

Cara: [Laughing] Yeah, yeah.

Holly: I haven’t spoken….

Cara: Just invite them, take them out on the road, that’s what I say, just start you know, taking them anywhere.

Holly: That sounds good. So, one last question, about your group course is that, does that, is it a live course, does it study, a home-study programme, how can people find more out about that?

Cara: Okay, it is a membership site, so they get access to videos, recordings and the processes for connecting to your guide for life, so they can do that at their own pace. The Facebook group I am active in there every day, and then we have at least monthly calls where you can come and talk, practise, we buddy up with people, so they have got people in there that they can practise doing channeling on and with. And, so, it is a really safe environment for exploring all that we have just talked about really.

Holly: Excellent. That sounds fantastic. So, thank you again for join genus today.

Cara: You are welcome.

Holly: It was a pleasure to have you and thank you for listening and remember to visit ready2bloom.com/116 (https://www.hollyworton.com/116) for the show notes on this episode. Thank you.
