Last week, I had one of those Spiritual Life Coaching sessions that stays in your mind long after it’s over. My client, someone beautifully open to exploring the supernatural, came to the session with a deep desire to connect with higher light beings. They had experienced glimpses of these presences in their life, and their curiosity was as expansive as the universe they longed to understand—a sentiment I deeply resonated with, given my own journey.
Going into the session, I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect (because, let’s be real, the spiritual world loves to surprise us). But as a psychic medium and spiritual life coach, I’ve learned to roll with the unexpected. And let me tell you, this session? It absolutely blew me away.
When my client and I began to start the session, I felt this incredible, high-vibrational energy enter the space behind me. It was so strong that my body reacted right away—my posture shifted, and I felt this deep warmth and strength wash over me. It’s hard to put into words, but it was like I was blending with something so powerful yet so gentle at the same time. I didn’t know exactly what or who it was at first, but as the session unfolded, they revealed themselves as an Arcturian.
I’ll admit, I don’t dive too deeply into researching Arcturians, Pleiadians, or other high-vibrational beings. I know of them, the names, but prefer to keep my channeling as clear and uninfluenced as possible. (Maybe that’s a little naïve, but I like to think it helps keep my human ego out of the way. And to be honest, I kind of love the surprise and beauty of it when it happens.)
What struck me most wasn’t just the presence of this incredible light being (which was, let’s be honest, pretty amazing)—it was the message they brought. They deeply understood my client’s longing to connect, their curiosity about the secrets of the universe, and the excitement they felt about communicating on the level they were seeking. But then they completely flipped the script with a question so simple and profound, it almost broke my link in pure awe:
“Beyond the experience and the entertainment value of connecting with us, what would you do with the wisdom and knowledge we share? Think of it this way: if we gave you a hammer, what would you build?”
Oof, that question hit me right in the heart. It wasn’t meant to diminish my client’s curiosity or passion; instead, it was a gentle nudge toward reflection. Spiritual connections beyond the veil, aren’t just about the wow factor. They’re about the why.
The light being explained it perfectly. If they handed over a tool—a hammer, a piece of knowledge, or a moment of connection—it was up to us to decide how to use it. Are we building something meaningful? Are we growing? Are we contributing to the greater good?
One of the most incredible takeaways from this session was the reminder that relationships—whether with people, spirits, or higher beings—require both investment and surrender. It’s not enough to simply want a connection; we need to approach it with humility and authenticity. Even though my client was open to both the investment and the surrender, the questions posed by the light being required real contemplation.
As more questions unfolded, this light being made it abundantly clear in the most loving way: they don’t really need us to connect with them. They choose to. And in that choice, they’re seeking a relationship built on more than what we often can recognize within ourselves.
After the session, I couldn’t stop thinking about that question in relation to my own life of service: If we gave you a hammer, what would you build?
It really is such a simple yet hit you over the head reminder to reflect on how we use the tools we’re given. Spiritual journeys are full of gifts—insights, connections, and moments of clarity. But they’re only as valuable as what we choose to do with them.
It makes you ask yourself: What are you building? Maybe it’s a stronger sense of self, a deeper connection to others, or even a platform to share your truth. Whatever it is, it must come from a place of love, intention, and service—and this is exactly where my client’s heart was, wanting to build something meaningful from that very space.
I’ll be honest—this session was as much a learning moment for me as it was for my client. It reminded me why I love this work so much. Every reading, every connection, every session pushes me to grow, to stretch my understanding, and to serve in new ways.
At the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about. Spiritual growth isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about asking the questions, staying open, and using what we’ve been given to make a difference.
A Final Thought: If you were given a hammer, what would you build? Take a moment to sit with that question. Let it guide you toward your own “why.” And remember, the tools we’re handed are only the beginning—it’s what we create with them that truly matters.
