Hi, I'm Alexis and I am so excited that you are here! I love bringing awareness to topics that are not always the most popular or comfortable but are crucial for our healing and growth. So many people think that they are having experiences completely alone that no one can understand, but really, we just aren't sharing them with one another. This channel is a place to build a supportive community with all who wish to connect deeper with themselves, their internal guidance system, and others!
I work with energy in an intuitive, healing, and growth-oriented capacity in the Boston, MA area. For information about the intuitive sessions and workshops that I offer, please visit my website at www.intuitiveguidancebyalexis.com.
@@shefalimehta9794 I am so glad this resonates with you! 🩷 there will be lots more videos about ‘relational healing’ as it relates to my story in this series, so stay tuned!
This is such a helpful insight! As you rightfully point out, fear comes from our head... and we shouldn't reduce the mind to the brain; our whole cellular memory encodes our experiences, and so there is an emotional response whenever we get triggered ; as one experts puts it, "the body keeps the score". So we need to be very mindful to prevent being engulfed by an overwhelming feeling and instead, detect where it emanates from. Popular psychology and spirituality tell us to "trust our gut feelings", but that can get really tricky, especially for people who deal with complex trauma, because their nervous system has been hijacked, so these alerts are not trustworthy most of the time. There is that pervasive feeling that indicates: "what if this dreadful realization is indeed a message from my unconscious mind, my innermost self?" It requires a a lot of self insight in order not be carried away by it and be able not to take these distressing, fleeting thoughts as facts. Yes, we can tell the difference between fear and intuition by examining where is it felt in our bodies: the first is this groin/gut response, the first three chakras, that releases adrenalin and cortisol (and which is obviously helpful in some cases) while the second is from the solar plexus - the heart chakra, as you mention, and may ascend to the upper ones, up to the crown center - and it feels like we "just know", which may be very relieving; that's how we know it's actually our Higher Self and guides whispering to our soul.
Thank you so much for your insightful, thoughtful, and incredibly helpful comment for anyone who reads it! Trusting our gut feelings can become complicated when we live in trauma bodies and have automatic nervous system responses to certain stimuli. I appreciate your heartfelt engagement with this topic ❤
Maybe I'm too personal or direct but I'm taking the risk: I wonder if you read fiction. Reason is that I believe you love the intricate details of feelings. One of my favorite authors is Virginia Woolf. She describes the complicated inner world of her characters and their interpersonal relationships in a rich, beautiful and poetic way. I really love reading it! Recently I realized that reading good written fiction (eg. Woolf, Dostoevsky) enriches my own inner world. It gives me a greater understanding of myself and other people. Maybe reading fiction does not resonate with you at all and that's fine! This reaction just stems from my intuition :-)
Your intuition is spot on! I love fiction novels that specifically highlight the complexities and depth of our connections and relationships. All fiction novels stem from a writer's rich and beautiful internal world, so there is always "truth" in that aspect 😉 One of my favorite books that I have read in the past couple of years that details the intricacies of our fears and desires for complete intimacy with another is Call Me by Your Name by Andre Aciman 💚
@@IntuitiveGuidancebyAlexis I don't remember the movie 'Call Me By Your Name' very well, but I do know that it made an impression on me. At the time I didn't know it was based on a book by Andre Aciman. So thank you! I have it in my possession as an e-book and I added the book on my to-read list 😇
Great video! What you say is recognizable to me. Sudden insights always relate to myself or other people. I can look at someone and spontaneously gain some insight. I suddenly see series of abstract images, followed by intricate feelings. This often happens in just a few seconds. I think I use logic to differentiate between insights based on fear or based on intuition (or love, as you stated). Just like getting the sudden insights, analytical thinking follows and comes effortless. It just happens. You could say it reorders the images and feelings in a more logical way. Then it suddenly 'clicks'. Does this make sense? My personal rule of thumb for differentiating: If this logic leads to my personal fears and traumas from the past, I know it stems from fear. If my logic stays with the other person, I know it is love/intuition. In that case, I know I have to get out of my head and make contact. It's more complicated in reality but this is in a nutshell how my brain works. I know that I'm intuitive and sensitive but also very analytical. So I often feel deeply and think deeply at the same time.
Thank you so much for this insightful and wonderful share! I personally relate to this: "If this logic leads to my personal fears and traumas from the past, I know it stems from fear. If my logic stays with the other person, I know it is love/intuition." Whenever I have an intuition that turns into 'x is going to become y from when this happened with so and so before,' I know that fear has likely hijacked my intuition. An exception to this for me is recognizing a pattern and sensing an energy within or from someone that is familiar and trusting that instinct. Thanks again for your comment! 🧡💛
Through self-inquiry, I arrived to some of the conclusions you share, and that codependency is rooted in the fear of taking responsibility, so we have preferred to yield our personal power to someone who we perceive as more trustworthy than ourselves, even if the other person is struggling and has shown signs of emotional unavailability and irresponsibility. This is the ultimate form of self abandonment; we become absent from our own lives. I also found that helping someone who needs to be rescued granted me an apparently deep sense of purpose, that I craved so desperately to mitigate the sense of deep emptiness. So, it is crucial to find our authentic, highest purpose, aligned to our soul signature, and so hopefully we will realize our innate, inalienable value, strengthen our core, to gather the courage to respond to our calling. Reclaim our power, proclaim our sovereignty, exert our authority.
Wow, this is so beautifully expressed! I am in awe of your self awareness and spiritual insights. This is so true! Codependency can give us a sense of purpose, and healing from codependency is really taking accountability for ourselves and keeping ourselves connected and fulfilled from within. Thanks for your comment ❤
Very insightful! I recognize the pattern in myself. I fill the role of teacher or counsellor in my relationships, usually attracting broken people. Never thought about it as a distraction before.
It is indeed reassuring to be with someone who is literally depending on you, if you need someone to stay. But I can tell from experience that people still leave you. It's a pretty common pattern I could talk about for hours. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Thank you for sharing your relatable experience with this energetic concept. I commend you for having the self awareness to realize the pattern and work toward self love ❤
Relatable story, thank you for sharing. I want to share something similar. At the end of 2017, a colleague and I started a relationship. She was a single mother, and we fell deeply for each other. I adored her 4 y/o son and began to develop fatherly feelings for the first time in my life. By the summer of 2018, our relationship had ended. I was struggling with a severe depression that our passionate but young relationship couldn't withstand. My girlfriend saw in me a different man from the one she had fallen in love with. About a year after our breakup, I realized something very important. The depression had started sometime in 2017, so before we met. But I had to face a painful truth: I was using my depression unconsciously to sabotage our relationship. I was too afraid of her getting too emotionally close, which would mean she would see my lack of self-love and confidence. I don't think about her often anymore, but I still haven't truly forgiven myself. I long for a sense of connection, especially in a romantic context with a woman, but at the same time, I am very fearful of other people. I'm now 48 years old, but it wasn't until around 2021/2022 that I truly realized how deep these wounds run. Clinically, I have disorganized attachment style. In cannot make that undone but at least I know about my scars.

Thank you Alexis, this is spot on. The only way to "get rid of "thoughts we dont like is to accept them and allow them to be. They will soon pass By the way, i must say you are very beautiful!

This is the process I am starting now. As a healing dismissive avoidant it very difficult to feel anything I am trying to get back in touch with the sensations. Do you have any tips for those who have a hard try feeling anything in their bodies?
This is such a great question! It is incredible that you are so in touch with your process regarding feelings and starting this difficult work to reconnect with yourself. If you have trouble feeling sensations in your body, it could be for many reasons, such as trauma, physical pain, fear, etc. One way to get back in touch is to focus on your body and the sensations. Whether it's a body scan, stretching, breathing, putting a hand on your heart or belly, etc., this can start to reform the connection between you and your body.

Yess, exactly! It is a spiritual bypass, the egomind likes to keep control and decide on its own when something is done and to let it go, even though energetically the situation hasnt played out fully yet. It is a way to escape the pain and harsh confrontations that can accompany the situation so you can keep yourself in LaLaland haha. And that is not where the growth happens, untill a certain level of consciousness we need pain and darkness as our teacher, this is inevadable. The egomind's job is making sure you survive but in that process it needs to avoid pain as much as possible because it feels the pain could mean the end of you due to earlier trauma. And the higher you go in consciousness because you learn to tame it a little the more cunning the egomind gets haha. You are never as enlightened as you think you are because you cannot think your way to that point, the egomind just lets you think you reached this unfantomable level so it can pat itself on the back for example. The human mind is funny but also very necessary, we need it as a contrast between us and everything else so we can learn our individual lessons.
Wow, so well said and so much truth in this! "And that is not where the growth happens, until a certain level of consciousness we need pain and darkness as our teacher, this is inevitable." - this is such an incredible truth!

@@IntuitiveGuidancebyAlexis Thank you for your kind reply! We are all just sharing messages from Source here as long as we're speaking from the heart and intuition, acting as vessels for The Divine to work through us. It is humbling, painful but oh so necessary if we wish to return to unconditional love, all that is. We are not the body, we are not the mind. They are simply tools for the soul to go through certain experiences and I'm glad more and more people like you are willing to share the more raw and uncomfortable side of spirituality. That not all experiences here are meant to be all rainbows and sunshine and that the only way to transcend all of this is by accepting the painful experiences and going within to learn the lessons they are trying to teach us. The more you surrender to God and the more you can become comfortable with the uncomfortable the further you will come. It will never be "easy" though. Speaking from experience as a trauma survivor of severe childhood trauma which puts me in the in trauma "freeze response", a step further than the more well known "fight or flight". It has been a wild painful Rollercoaster but it has made me dig deep to find the knowledge, wisdom and skills with which I can help others. Thank you for your service! I subscribed and gave your insta a follow with my for now anonymous account haha.
@@blueSfire77 I am soaking this all in and totally resonating with everything you are sharing! I appreciate your comments and wisdom. You are so on point with this and I am honored to have you as a fellow traveler on the journey ❣
I come from a toxic and psychologically abusive relationship with my father who was a covert narcissist, I was homeless with him for a very long time during my upbringing, I escaped that and went to go be with extended family that found me on the internet, I genuinely felt that I would belong with them and I thought they felt same way, but unfortunately what seemed like a gift from god just turned into something that completely hurt me, I was only with them for 3 months because of how difficult they were to live with, and how conditional their love and regard was towards me, it’s just bloody unfair to me how my fully related brother got to have what they called a ‘privileged life’ while my upbringing pretty much got robbed by my narcissist father and that it’s something no kid should ever have to have gone through. Yet, people on the internet tell me “who are you and why should you be loved and cared for” and even an ex friend tells me “well they raised your brother and not you why do you think you deserve everything your brother always gotten.” …but to me it’s just really unfair, and it has put me in a constant endless loop of rumination.
I feel like this video is a message I need to visit a certain place. It’s a place I had a dream about a few years back, and I only recently figured out the address. Not gonna lie. I’m scared to go there. Not sure I’m ready for what a visit will bring to the surface of my memory
Having a dream about a certain place that you still remember years later is incredible. I totally understand why you would feel scared, and it can be difficult to discern fear (your mind) versus intuition (your body and higher self). Sometimes what we resist is for our growth, and sometimes it is our body saying 'no.' I work through situations like this in my 1:1 sessions 🤍
Alexis, you are going to go far with your blossoming channel. You're messages express the divine wisdom of radiant feminine energy. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your video. ❤ I have watched a few (of your videos today) while I am in the process of unpacking trauma bonds. (a lot of what you call dirty pain). I have watched all sorts of analysis on the matter and I get lost in thought. This gave me assistance to allow the feeling without judgement. It seems grieving takes time. I don't know if I am oversharing. I just wanted to drop a comment for you and for someone else reading these ❤ as encouragement to us all. Keep doing what you're doing :) it's working.
Hi! You are definitely not oversharing and I am so glad to hear form you and learn about your experience. This channel is all about community and connection ❣Healing is a reclamation of taking ownership of ourselves and that includes ALL of our feelings and experiences. If you are hurting, you are doing this correctly, and there is no time limit or magic cure for working through what is within us. Fully feeling all the feelings without trying to make sense of them is cathartic and I have learned that going into those dark places is the only way I could really connect with myself and actually feel better. I am so glad you are here and doing the difficult work many people do not have the courage to do. Sending healing energy and lots of love your way 😍
this is so true. i always tell my friends that it sometimes feels like i'm reliving the present, there are certain moments where i just feel like this has happened before and i'm certainly where i need to be. it gives you a sense of belonging, a feeling of familiarity, an emotion that is quite difficult to explain.
Hi! You are speaking the feelings of when my intuition is guiding me! I am so glad that you shared your experience because it is relatable and difficult to explain to others, but an energetic knowing from within that this moment is somehow something you already experienced or knew you would experience. You are clearly so tapped in! So nice to hear from you💗
Hi! I just watched all your videos on your channel. Thanks for the content. You have really valuable insights to share. I’m interested in where you go with this channel and I’m grateful you are making this information and also your experiences accessible to the collective. I’m sure I’m not the only person who appreciates it. - “it is the truly enlightened person who plants seeds of a tree they know they may never receive the fruits of”! … or so it goes something along those lines. Keep believing in the unseen impact! 😅 Thanks for your work. Cheers and sending warm wishes through the ether!
Hi! Your words have really touched me, and I am so glad that this content is resonating with you ❣This channel embodies my dream of connecting with others on a deeply feeling level and creating a community where people can authentically be themselves without judgment. You are making this a reality! Sending you love and hugs through the ethers 😍
This is just the message I needed to hear now, because, even though I knew this, the cultural narratives about this type of spiritual bypassing have become so prevalent that it can be considered as gaslighting. It has a lot to do with a misunderstanding of non-attachment, which is not an easy concept to grasp from Eastern doctrines, but now has been hijacked by so-called spiritual masters of the West (Eckart Tolle is the poster child of this), and other promoters of toxic positivity, who end up enabling abusers with lack of emotional responsibility, even if its not intentional. BTW, your beauty mark is sooo lovely!!

This really resonated with me. I met my ex unexpectedly & fell so hard for him. The first few months were so beautiful then our wounds & traumas ruined everything. It turned into a wound party and push & pull dynamic. My abandonment issues got the best of me. We’ve been separated for 7 months now and it’s been the hardest 7 months of my life but the experience forced me to really go within & focus on my healing. It’s been very painful. Thank you for this video!
Thank you so much for sharing your story ❤ This is both so common and incredibly painful to go through. Love that turns us inward, whether in a relationship or on our own, has touched us so deeply. I get a feeling that your ex showed you the potentials for love that exist within you and that you are learning to love all the parts of yourself you might not have even known needed you. Sending you love and healing energy during this difficult time 😍
I think this video was meant for me. I have tried every single thing ‚to just let it go. It is so simple‘, but it hasn‘t left. And now hearing you basically giving me the permission to let it stay and teach me what it has to teach me, is gold! Thank you so much! I am glad that this isn‘t another toxic letting go video, but actual helpful tips.🙏🏻💕
Hi Valeriah! I am so glad to hear that this message resonated with you! When we are told we should be able to let things go, and we cannot get them to leave our consciousness, we can judge ourselves for still going back to whatever we are looping on. When we are judging ourselves, we are creating an energy of shame around our truth, and this creates an energy spiral where we can lose sight of what our intuition is trying to show us. I have found that allowing whatever arises to simply be and consume you however it shows up is a helpful way to deal with things; to fully allow yourself to feel and process them. Once you embody the truth of that, whatever you are dealing with will always release you when it is energetically complete within you 🤍

The relationship I was part of that got louder and louder was with my mother. I just kept telling myself I would be okay. And it would be worth it, but it got so bad that I just couldn’t take it anymore. I feel free but I don’t want to feel bitter forever. I’ll get there.
That is such a hard truth to accept about a very complex relationship. I am glad you are taking care of your needs, listening to yourself, and on the path to healing, which can be incredibly difficult! Sending love ♥️
