Why You Can’t Hear Your Spirit Guides (And How to Clear the Block)

You’ve asked for a sign. You’ve tried to tune in. But… nothing.

No whisper. No download. Just silence.

If you’ve been trying to connect with your spirit guides and it feels like the messages just aren’t coming through, I want you to know this: it’s not that they’re ignoring you. It’s that something in your energy field is likely interfering with the flow.

Let’s unpack what that “something” might be—so you can clear the channel and receive again.

From my own experience (and the numerous akashic readings I’ve done), there are 3 big reasons why you might feel disconnected from your soul guides. These aren’t random. And each one can be cleared with a little awareness and practice.

1. Your mind is too loud

Let’s be real: life is noisy. Your thoughts are constantly running. Your ego has an endless playlist of fear, doubt, and overthinking on loop.

And here’s the thing—your guides aren’t going to yell over that noise.

They speak in subtle, gentle ways. Through nudges. Through sensations. Through the quiet inner voice that gets drowned out when your ego is in charge.

The ego isn’t evil. It’s just trying to protect you. But if it’s the only voice you’re tuned into, there’s no space left for divine guidance.

What helps you channel your soul guides

Start small. Sit in stillness for a few minutes each day—not to do anything, but just to be. Breathe. Watch your thoughts like clouds passing. Let your body settle.

The more you practice presence and mindfulness, the easier it becomes to hear what’s underneath the mental chatter: the soft, loving voice of your spirit team.

2. You don't believe you can channel your spirit guides

Let’s talk about doubt.

Not just doubting that spirit guides are real—but doubting that you are someone who can actually connect with them.

This kind of disbelief is sneaky. You might say you’re open… but deep down, there’s a part of you that thinks:

• “I’m not intuitive enough.”

• “Others are more gifted than me.”

• “Who am I to think I can receive spiritual messages?”
  

And when that part of you is dominant, it puts up a wall. Even if your guides are trying to reach you, you’re not fully open to receiving.

The truth is:

You don’t have to earn your connection. It’s already there.

You’re a soul first. A soul that chose this human experience.

And your guides have been walking with you since the very beginning—long before this lifetime.

You were born with intuitive gifts. It’s just that life, trauma, and conditioning can make you forget.

What helps you gain confidence in your channeling abilities

Trust in what’s already true: the bond between your soul and your guides is ancient. When doubt arises, return to that remembering. Speak to them, even if it feels one-sided at first. The more you trust the connection, the more it reveals itself.

3. You’re Expecting Messages to Come a Certain Way

This one is so common—especially if you’ve seen how other people connect.

Maybe you’ve watched a psychic describe vivid visions or someone else talk about hearing clear voices or channeling full conversations. And you think, “That’s how it’s supposed to be.”

But that expectation might be blocking your actual gifts.

I’ll give you a real example. One of my Akashic Records students was having a hard time opening her channel. She followed the process, said the opening prayer, did everything “right”—but nothing happened.

When I connected with her guides, they showed me something important: this student was a professional dancer. Her body was her key. She needed to move while channeling—to let her messages come through movement, not stillness.

But she had dismissed that inner nudge. It felt “too weird.” She was comparing herself to other spiritual practitioners, and it shut down her natural access point.

What helps you find your channeling style

Stop trying to receive like someone else. You have your own energetic blueprint.

Some people are clairvoyant (they see things). Others are clairaudient (they hear messages). Many are clairsentient (they feel it in their body) or claircognizant (they just know).

There’s no hierarchy. There’s no one right way.

Give yourself permission to discover what your intuitive language is—and to let it evolve over time.

Remember: Your Spirit Guides Haven’t Left

Even if it’s been a while since you felt their presence, they’re still here.

Your job isn’t to try harder. It’s to listen differently.

Let go of the ego's stories. Let go of the self-doubt. Stop comparing your spiritual path to someone else’s highlight reel.Instead, come back to yourself. Trust what you feel, what you know, what you’ve always sensed.

Your guides are ready when you are.
