Spiritual Rules Worth Breaking (and the Ones Worth Keeping!)
Where we're going? We don't need Rules!
Sarah and Jane talk story about the spiritual rules we were handed — and the ones we actually need. Sarah comes prepared with a list (both parents are Virgos, so obviously she has a list), and together she and Jane move through the rules worth following and the ones worth leaving behind.
At the top of the list: energy sovereignty. You are responsible for your own energy, full stop. Protecting your energetic field isn't selfish — it's a requirement. From there, the conversation opens up into the golden rule, do no harm, the ethics of making predictions in readings, and the importance of self-care for those in service-based work.
On the flip side, Sarah and Jane unpack the rules we don't need anymore: dogma, fear-based thinking, spiritual gatekeeping, and the belief that suffering is proof of dedication. They talk about the permission-slip trap — always needing one more certificate, one more credential — and why the Akashic Records episode cracked something open for Sarah around trusting her own access.
The episode lands somewhere expansive: if a rule makes you feel smaller, it's probably not yours to follow. If it comes from love and opens something up in you, it's worth keeping. Simple, but not easy — and exactly why they keep showing up to talk about it.
Key Takeaways
Energy sovereignty is non-negotiable. You are responsible for your own energetic and emotional state — and protecting that field is an act of kindness to yourself and everyone around you.
"Do no harm" isn't just a platitude — it's a real ethical standard for anyone doing intuitive or healing work. Making fear-based predictions, issuing warnings of doom, or weaponizing someone's hope is harmful. Full stop.
The golden rule includes you. Spiritual people often pour endlessly into others while running on empty. Caring for yourself isn't a distraction from your purpose — it's the foundation of it.
Dogma is the rule that tells you to stop questioning. Any belief system — spiritual or otherwise — that demands you shut down your curiosity is worth examining.
There is no spiritual hierarchy. The gatekeeping is crumbling. You don't need another permission slip to trust your own access to the Divine.
The deepest rule might be the simplest one: if it makes you feel expansive, it's worth following. If it makes you feel smaller, it isn't.
