Directions from a Spiritual Tour Guide

This week brings the Fall Equinox, a Full Moon, and some big energy - and my spirit guides have a message about what we're being asked to see.

You don't need to know the entire path. You only need to see what is being illuminated right now.

As old patterns, beliefs, and emotions continue to surface, it can be tempting to avoid the things we'd rather not look at. But what if the shadows aren't something to fear? What if they contain the wisdom we're missing?

In this week's channeled message, we explore...

What if the signs aren’t missing? What if you’re just not listening?

In this episode of Directions From a Spiritual Tour Guide, I’m sharing a message my spirit guides have been repeating over and over: the signs, symbols, and messages are there - but we aren’t always willing or able to receive them.

Sometimes we ignore the signs because we don’t like the answer. Sometimes our subconscious beliefs filter what we’re receiving and turn soul truth into fear, guilt, or old stories. And sometimes, we aren’t actually being asked to look...

What if the clarity you’re looking for isn’t supposed to come from the outside right now?

This week’s channeled message is a reminder that the path forward may not be about figuring everything out. It may be about going inward, paying attention to what no longer feels aligned, and being willing to change the patterns that keep creating the same results.

The energy may feel heavy, swirling, or even like a smokescreen right now. But the more we push against the process, the harder it becomes.

The clarity is within.

W...

What happens when you stop asking, “What am I doing wrong?” and start asking, “Is this right for me?”

This episode was inspired by a beautiful conversation with my teacher, Lori Wilson, that left me with a collection of powerful aha moments about my own healing, self-trust and the way I move through life.

This summer, I chose to allow. Instead of forcing clarity or trying to figure out what came next, I gave myself space to be present, pay attention and notice where I was pushing, resisting or clenching. What unfolded was a deeper awarenes...

In this week’s channeled energy update for September 7–13, 2026, we’re being invited to slow down, take a breath, and allow things to unfold rather than forcing our way forward.

We’re moving through what my spirit guides call an “information portal” - a period of reflection, integration, and awareness where things may be coming to the surface for us to see and understand.

This week asks us to pay attention to what keeps appearing in our awareness. What are you noticing when you become still? What keeps coming back for your attention? And are you willing...

Energy Update | August 30 - September 6, 2026

This week’s channeled message is a powerful reminder that the path of least resistance is a choice.

As we move into the final quarter of 2026, Spirit speaks about the deep purge and release that has been taking place and the shift that is now happening - from healing into embodiment and reprogramming.

The work isn’t about falling apart when we are triggered. It’s about becoming aware of what is being shown to us, accepting what needs to change, and choosing a new response.

Spirit...

You’re Almost to the Other Side | Weekly Channeled Message — August 24–30, 2026

What if the resistance, uncertainty, and exhaustion you’ve been feeling aren’t signs that something is wrong - but signs that you’re moving through a powerful transformation?

In this week’s channeled message, we explore the energy of releasing old patterns, beliefs, and stories that no longer reflect who you are. As we move into a new cycle, there can be a natural pull toward what feels familiar, even when we know it’s time for something new.

Spirit’s message this week...

What do I actually do—and why is healing at the root of all of it?

In this deeply personal episode, Shanel shares the clarity that has been unfolding around her work as a healer and spiritual tour guide. For years, she has struggled to put words around what she offers, partly because she doesn’t fit neatly into traditional titles like coach or therapist - and partly because of the fear of not being taken seriously without certifications or letters behind her name.

But the truth has become undeniable: healing is the common thread wove...

Beautiful Soul,

This week’s channeled message is about finding clarity through the chatter.

There is a lot of noise right now - information, opinions, thoughts, old beliefs, and the constant chatter of the mind. But what if the chatter isn't something we need to shut down? What if it is an invitation to slow down, sift through what is coming up, and discover what is actually true and aligned for us?

This week is about clarity, discernment, and getting present with what is in front of you. You don't need to know th...

Beautiful Soul,

Welcome to this week’s channeled message for August 10th through the 16th, 2026.

This week carries a softer, more reflective energy. After the expansion and movement of the previous weeks, we are being invited to pause, rest, and honour the journey we have been walking.

The message that comes through is about alignment and embodiment - bringing our thoughts, feelings, and actions into harmony so we can truly live the healing and growth we have experienced. The lion appears again, but this time not in its powerful roar. Instead, it is re...

Healing is a journey, not a destination. It is a cycle we move through again and again as we uncover, release, and transform the layers that no longer align with who we truly are.

In this episode of Directions From a Spiritual Tour Guide, we are exploring the healing cycle and why awareness alone isn’t enough. Awareness is where healing begins - it allows us to see the patterns, beliefs, and behaviors that keep repeating - but true transformation happens when we are willing to move deeper.

Together, we explore the four parts of th...

This week's channeled message invites us into a different kind of power.

As we move into the first full week of August, my spirit guides bring forward the energy of the lion. Not the fierce, roaring lion we often imagine, but the quiet strength, calm confidence, and gentle presence that comes from knowing who you truly are.

This is a month of stepping into your light. It's about becoming aware of the patterns that no longer serve you, releasing them with intention, and allowing yourself to move forward with greater ease and flow. Rather than...

The Lion's Gate Portal has always held a special place in my heart. Every year I find myself drawn to its energy, but this year Spirit kept bringing me back to one question:

Can you hold what you're asking for?

Manifestation isn't just about asking for more. It's about becoming the version of yourself that has the capacity to receive it.

In this episode, we're exploring the energy of the 2026 Lion's Gate Portal and how it invites us into expansion - not through force or hustle, but by uncovering the subconscious beliefs, nervous...

Have you ever felt like you're in between chapters? Like the old version of you no longer fits, but the next one hasn't fully arrived yet?

That is exactly the energy Spirit brought through in this week's channeled message.

They showed me the pages of a book turning - not because the story is finished, but because it isn't. Your future isn't written in stone. You're being invited to become aware of the beliefs that are quietly influencing your choices and to ask yourself whether they still belong to the person you're becoming.

...

Have you ever wondered if you're hearing your intuition - or just the endless chatter of your mind?

In this episode of Directions From A Spiritual Tour Guide, I share one simple phrase that has completely transformed the way I understand intuition and has become a foundational teaching in my own spiritual practice:

The mind asks questions. The soul speaks in statements.

We'll explore why the mind naturally spirals into fear, doubt, and "what if" thinking, while your soul communicates through quiet, simple knowing. I'll also share why we often miss our intuition...

Weekly Channeled Message | July 20–26, 2026

This week's channeled message carries an intense but deeply purposeful energy. Spirit shares that we are in the midst of a powerful collective recalibration where truth can no longer be ignored. What has been hidden is coming to the surface, old structures are being challenged, and we are each being invited to stand more fully in our truth.

Communication may feel restricted, emotions may be heightened, and you may notice areas of your life that can no longer be avoided. Rather than reacting or feeding the fire, this message encourages you to...

What if the heaviness you've been feeling isn't something to push through - but a gentle invitation to let go?

In this week's episode of Directions From a Spiritual Tour Guide, I channel a message from Spirit about the powerful awakening unfolding within us. As our energy continues to rise, we're being called to release what no longer aligns, embrace acceptance, and trust the quiet unfolding of our next chapter.

Spirit reminds us that transformation doesn't always arrive in dramatic ways. More often, it comes through small, conscious choices - choosing truth over comfort, presence...

Acceptance isn't giving up - it may be the very thing that sets you free.

In this episode of Directions from a Spiritual Tour Guide, I share my own journey through grief, navigating perimenopause, leaving the security of a paycheck, and answering the call to fully step into the work my soul has always known I was here to do.

Together, we explore why acceptance is one of the most powerful tools for healing. Not because it means agreeing with what happened, but because it allows us to release resistance, understand the subconscious beliefs that...

This week, my spirit guides brought through a powerful reminder: the storm you're experiencing may not be happening to you - it may be inviting you to come home to yourself.

As they showed me a vision of rough, dark ocean waves, one message became clear: resistance keeps the storm alive. The more we fight what our soul is asking of us, the longer we remain caught in patterns that no longer serve us.

But there is another way.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, soften, and return to the frequency...

Returning to the Frequency of Creation | Channeled Message for June 29 – July 5

Welcome back to The Heart and Soul with Shanel Scott. In this week’s channeled message, the guides are bringing through an incredibly powerful shift. We are experiencing a major energetic slowdown designed to help us break free from the traditional constructs of time.

By tapping back into your original "Frequency of Creation"- the pure love and purpose you held when you first chose to come into this human form - you can learn to release limiting beliefs, open your energy centers, and step...

This week's channeled message explores the powerful energetic transition many of us are currently moving through following the Summer Solstice.

If you've been feeling unusually heavy, exhausted, emotional, ungrounded, or as though life has slowed down unexpectedly, Spirit offers insight into what may be unfolding beneath the surface. In this message, Spirit shares an image of being held within a tractor beam of energy - a period of anchoring, integration, and assimilation as we adjust to the energetic shifts that have taken place.

While this process may feel uncomfortable at times, it serves a purpose...

Have you ever felt completely disconnected from your own body, like you’re just going through the motions? Maybe you feel a deep, burning desire to heal and help others, but you have no idea where to begin - and truth be told, you don’t even trust your own intuition enough to take the first step. You’re tired of surface-level fixes. You want lasting transformation.

If you are nodding your head, you are exactly where I used to be.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own spiritual journey and shar...

Waking in the shadows of yesterday's New Moon, we are being invited to journey inward.

If you have been feeling overwhelmed, searching for direction, or moving through a sense of confusion and frustration that has begun to lift but has not fully disappeared, you are not alone. This is the lingering energy of the New Moon, gently asking us to pause rather than push forward.

In this episode, we explore the invitation to wander through the unseen spaces within ourselves - the places where forgotten pieces of our soul have quietly waited to be remembered...

We begin this week's channeled message with the image of a bird and a gentle reminder:

A bird is not afraid of the branch breaking because it trusts that its wings will carry it.

This week invites us to deepen our trust in ourselves.

Allow that trust to guide you as you move through the days ahead. When challenges arise, remember who you are and the power you carry within. Trust your intuition. Trust your wisdom. Trust your ability to navigate what is unfolding before you.

Each decision you make is...

As we sit in the shadows of the Blue Moon, we can still feel its glow. Its energy continues to illuminate what has been hidden, revealing the wisdom within the purge and the deeper purpose behind what many have been experiencing.

This week brings an awakening to truth. A clearer awareness of what has been holding you back, what is ready to be released, and what is asking to be acknowledged. As the layers fall away, you are invited to see with greater clarity and embrace the truth that sets you free.

While discomfort may...

This weekend we experience a rare Blue Moon in Sagittarius. Despite the name, the moon won't appear blue. A Blue Moon occurs when we have two full moons within a single calendar month, and the next one won't arrive until December 2028.

These moons carry a potent energy of culmination, revelation, and reset—and many are already feeling its effects.

Perhaps emotions are rising to the surface. Old wounds feel activated. Frustration is building around patterns you've been trying to heal or cycles that seem to repeat themselves. If so, you are not alone.

Th...

What if intuition isn’t something you “figure out” in the mind… but something you feel within the body?

In this episode, we explore the difference between being stuck in overthinking, spiritual bypassing, or living “up in the clouds” versus experiencing true embodied intuition and connection. Together, we dive into what it means to feel whole - mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and physically - and why nervous system safety plays such a powerful role in accessing inner knowing.

We discuss:

This week, my spirit guides shared beautiful imagery around the spark, the embers, and the way a fire slowly grows. It feels like the perfect reflection of the energy we are moving through right now.

What we are experiencing is not an instant transformation, but a slow and sacred shift. A recalibration happening beneath the surface.

Reprogramming the nervous system and subconscious mind takes time, awareness, and repetition. It asks us to notice the places within ourselves that are ready to change and consciously choose a new way of responding, thinking, and showing up. Again...

Have you been feeling out of sorts lately?

Caught in the push and pull of emotions… heavy, overwhelmed, exhausted?

Old memories surfacing out of nowhere?

You are not unraveling - you are being prepared.

The Taurus New Moon arriving on May 16, 2026 carries powerful transformational energy. Not fleeting change, but deep, lasting shifts that ask you to become rooted in who you truly are.

Everything you have been moving through has been preparing you for this next chapter.

Taurus energy calls you to slow down, ground deeply into yo...

My spirit guides start us with our head in the clouds this week…

There is a simplicity to the energy surrounding this week. A calm sense of connection that is meant to be followed rather than questioned. You may find yourself bumping into moments of wanting to know what comes next, needing certainty, direction, or reassurance. But in those moments, we are being guided back to the clouds - back to the peaceful energy that reminds us we are safe, supported, and able to trust.

This week is not about forcing. When we stop forcing ou...

Transformation isn’t slowing down—it’s asking more of you.

In this week’s channeled message, we move deeper into the energy of becoming your authentic self and what it truly means to feel safe in your truth. The discomfort you may be experiencing isn’t random—it’s revealing where you’ve been out of alignment, where old patterns are ready to be released, and where your truth is asking to be honoured.

This is a space of reflection and recalibration. A moment to pause, witness what is being mirrored back to you, and allow clarit...

This Scorpio Full Moon brings you face to face with what you thought you had already worked through.

The same patterns, triggers, and emotions may be rising again and again - but this isn’t a setback. This is the work.

In this episode, we explore the energy of repetition and why it’s a necessary part of transformation. You’re not here to just “heal once” and move on - you’re here to rewire, to release deeply rooted belief systems, and to consciously anchor into new ways of being.

This is a powerful t...

The Shift from Mind to Soul

This week’s energy isn’t about pushing forward - it’s about paying attention.

We’re moving through a powerful transition from mind-led living into soul-led guidance. After so many shifts, this phase is slower, more intentional, and rooted in integration.

The mind seeks safety and certainty, but the soul leads through subtle knowing and truth. Learning to trust that voice is the transformation - and it’s one that creates lasting change.

As awareness deepens, the path of least resistance begins to reveal itself. De...

This week’s energy is meeting you exactly where you are - and that in itself is the shift. 💫

In the past, change may have felt abrupt, uncomfortable, or filled with urgency. But this time, the energy feels softer, more supportive, and more attuned to where you’re at in your journey.

There’s a reason for that.

On some level - mind, body, and soul - you’ve been preparing for this. The work you’ve been doing, whether consciously or behind the scenes, has created space for you to step into a new level o...

The energy has softened this week, bringing an invitation to slow down, realign, and get clear on what you truly want.

In this weekly reading, we explore how the Universe is gently guiding you toward deeper alignment - not through force, but through awareness. The places where you feel uncertain, stuck, or out of sync are being illuminated so you can shift, choose differently, and move forward with intention.

This week’s energy supports embodiment - stepping into the version of you who already holds what you’re calling in, rather than waiting for it to a...

The energy is softening… but you may still feel heavy as the clearing isn’t over.

In this episode, The Soft Return: Self Love, Truth, and Energy Clearing Within, we explore the deeper layers of self-love—not as something you practice, but as the relationship you hold with yourself every day.

This full moon is illuminating where you may still be abandoning yourself through your thoughts, patterns, and need to be anything other than who you truly are.

This is your invitation to slow down, reconnect, and gently return to your truth.

✨ Yo...

This week’s channeled message comes through with one clear theme: the shift is here.

Energy is moving, clearing, and reorganizing and you may already be feeling where something in your life is out of alignment.

This isn’t by accident.

You are being guided to pay attention to your mindset, your focus, and where you are sending your energy. Because what you focus on… expands. And what you continue to pour energy into will shape your reality.

In this episode, we explore:

You’re not stuck—you’re just focused in the wrong place.

If you’ve been doing the work, trying to shift your mindset, and still finding yourself looping through the same patterns… this episode will show you why.

Your mind is designed to seek evidence for what you focus on and when your energy is anchored in the problem, your subconscious will continue to recreate it. This isn’t about willpower or thinking more positively… it’s about understanding the deeper programming running beneath your awareness.

In this episode, we explore how your focus shape...

Have you been feeling stuck, heavy, or like you’re moving through mud… no matter how much inner work you’re doing?

Like something keeps surfacing, asking for your attention - and you’re left wondering why the same patterns, emotions, or blocks keep showing up?

In this episode, we explore the spiritual meaning of feeling stuck and how these moments are often powerful signs of spiritual awakening and transformation.

What if you’re not being blocked… but guided?

What if the “mud” is actually where old energy is being released, where awareness...

This week’s channeled message speaks to the energetic shift many are already feeling.

As we move through 2026, there is less capacity to carry outdated beliefs, old patterns, and emotional density. This week brings an opportunity to notice what is surfacing within you and to meet it with awareness rather than resistance.

The inner work you choose now can lighten the path ahead.

In this message we explore: • Why old patterns may be surfacing right now • The energetic transition currently unfolding • How to move through release with more ease • The choice between resistance and transf...
