I think that when you feel most open and loving, or when you feel most vulnerable, which interestingly can come at the same time very often. That's when that opening can occur, where your guardian angel can connect with you, be felt by you.

You believe that anyone can learn to channel and you teach people how to channel their own guardian angel to help them take positive and effective action in their lives and live their true purpose. Ros. Welcome to personal development mastery. So

Ros Place  2:42  
thank you. It's so lovely to be here. Ready? Thank you so much.

Agi Keramidas  2:46  
As I was telling you just before we hit record, this is a topic that I'm most fascinated about. And I don't know what's about. So this is going to be intriguing. And we will talk today about channelling our guardian angel. As a quick clarification arose here, okay, when we say you are a guardian angel channel, what does that mean in one sentence?

Ros Place  3:16  
To channel. God, my guardian angel means that I communicate directly with my guardian angel, and that I facilitate that communication for others.

Agi Keramidas  3:31  
That's great, fantastic. That's what I believed it was. But I wanted a concise explanation and to think that it's very clear. So before we go there and discuss that topic, I would like to ask you about your fascinating journey and the particular any key defining moments along the way that really turned you into authentic your path into where you are right now teaching others about how to serve their own guardian angel.

Ros Place  4:06  
Yeah, I've had quite an interesting life. I think it started my first memories of angels as a baby in my crib. The first thing that I remember seeing and feeling and hearing and communicating with is angels, beautiful coloured lights that were all around me. And throughout all of my childhood, I communicated with angels. They taught me they showed me things they shaped me in ways which were incredible. And throughout my adult life, I've continued to nurture that relationship and my relationship with the angels has led me to the most incredible situations in my life. One that we spoke about before we came on to your podcast today was It was around six years ago. And I was sitting in the front room in our home with my husband, Eddie. And I had at that time. So how old would Mani have been a six year old and a 13 year old two boys. And I said to Eddie, I want to go to Los Angeles. And he said, Well, why don't you go then? So I said, Okay, I'll go. So I arranged to fly out to Los Angeles, on my own. I didn't know anybody. I'd never been even to America, I didn't know what to expect. I just felt really drawn to going there. And the week before I went, we had a family gathering, like a real extended family gathering where we lived. And I happen to have a conversation with my mom's cousin, big Italian extended family living here in England. And she said, Oh, hey, you're going to Los Angeles, you must meet up with my daughter. She loves to meet up with English people when they come out. So I said, Okay, I'll take her email, and perhaps we can meet for a coffee. So I reached out to her, and we met for a coffee. And she asked me because we never met before part of the same family, but we never connected before. And she asked me about what I did, what do you do? And what brings you here, and I explained to her that I was a guardian angel channel, and that I communicated with guardian angels, and that I was just here feeling that I wanted to visit and I didn't have any plan whatsoever at all. And she said to me, do you know, it's really interesting, you should share this with me, I think there's someone you should meet. And she introduced me to a number of people who introduced me to then a number of people, and so on and so on. I met people in the beauty industry, I met people in the music industry, I met artists, musical artists, and it kind of reached a climax. When a lady who I'd connected with and read for connected her with her guardian angel, she said, I'd really like to introduce you to my boss. And I said, Yeah, of course, I'd be delighted to meet your boss. She said, Would you be so kind as to go and meet him? At his home in Malibu? Here are some dates would would these dates work for you? So I said, Yeah, of course. So anyway, I got an Uber to this beautiful home, overlooking the sea at Malibu. And this boss of my friend happens to be a multi billionaire in the beauty industry. And I've read for him. I connected him with his guardian angel. He had lots of questions. It was a wonderful meeting. And he said to me, what do you want? Ross? And I said, I don't I don't want anything. And then a really funny conversation. We're really kind of out there conversation with only a billionaire, I suppose. Could. He said to me, Well, I've got lots of bikes. Would you like a bike? A motorbike? Can I set you up with a car? Is there any accommodation that I can arrange for you here? Can I write you a check? And I said, I really don't want anything. And he said, I'm going to go and speak to my chef. And when I come back, you need to have an answer for me. And when I came back, when he came back, I had had this moment of feeling as though I had the ear of God. I felt that I could ask for anything. And I knew it was an important opportunity to ask for what I really, really, really wanted. And I said to him, and he came back and he said, What's your answer? And I said, Can you help me to help children? And he just looked at me and he said, Do you like Margarita cocktails? And I said, I love Margarita cocktails. And so he mixed me he actually made me a drink out on his terrace and we talked about parenting and life and had a wonderful afternoon together. And he gave me his phone number and he said if you want anything you've just written me and every time I rang him he would answer the phone I didn't rang him like two or three times because you can't just read a billionaire for a chat you know, you have to rings for something which feels like a weird dynamic because you just want to bring say hi, I'm just thinking of you. But you isn't that way you have to. And anyway, um He wrote me an application for my visa, it just merged from my visa. And he said, Yeah, I'll help you. So I came back to England, then I was riding this wave of wow. And then immediately after that, I kind of nosedived because I realised that as much as I wanted to help as many people as possible to communicate with their guardian angels, because of the incredible opportunity that it presented. And in many ways, going to Los Angeles was about that, because I really felt like if I could access people who were in positions of influence, if I could connect them with their guardian angels, then it could have some impact in the world, that it could cause them to think about things in a different way, or have a different attitude or, and the people that I connected with on I know that it made a difference, but I nosedived because I realised that I could not connect, possibly connect everybody with their guardian angels. And then what ensued was a period of not communicating with guardian angels for a very long time. Until three years ago, when Tucson my guardian angel said, instead of you doing it for other people, I'm going to show you how you can teach other people to do it for themselves. What

Agi Keramidas  11:15  
I'm thinking now at the moment right now is that maybe indirectly, you can help more people than you can imagine, rather than it's not only the direct, because that's how I see it myself sometimes that there is always a ripple effect in what we do. And the one person will help might help a million people without us really knowing. I'm going to ask you about guardian angel and channelling and all these things in a moment before I do. What would you say to someone listening to us right now? And is, let's say, a bit sceptical about the topic, guardian angels and so on.

Ros Place  11:55  
Yeah, it's, it's interesting, I've found that over the last three years, really, since the world was disrupted so much by COVID. And what ensued after that people are interestingly, much more receptive. It's as though there has been an awakening that's occurred through the trauma, the mass trauma that's been experienced by all of us to some degree on some level. So if you'd have asked me that question, three years ago, I think I would have had quite a different answer, I find that people are much more receptive and much more open. There's a knowingness that's beginning to emerge from people now that it isn't always about what we can see with our eyes, that science and spirituality are beginning to fuse in a very interesting way that physics and what we understand of the universe, and what we're beginning to comprehend, in terms of the interconnectedness of all things, is really providing people with the evidence that they need, that there is more to learn that this is a opportunity to grow, and to learn. But your relationship with your guardian angel, I can tell you is your guardian angel only exists for you. Your guardian angel only exists to support you serve you love you to fulfil your purpose, in order that you can contribute positively to the expansion of the entire universe. But what I'll also tell you is that your guardian angel will never force you to believe in them will never push you whenever tried to convince you or coerce you. And that it is truly a journey of love and opening the heart to self, which provides the resonance if you like, which provides the space in order for that connection with your guardian angel to occur. It is a truly blossoming process of becoming open to an awareness of something that deep inside you want to be true, by experiencing in an evidence based way becomes true.

Agi Keramidas  14:17  
I was about to ask you. And I think in a in a way you answered it already. But I'm going to ask it anyway. I was wondering why. So I assume that each of us has a guardian angel. Next to us or maybe I don't know if that is a litre and thing was next to us or we say My question was, why then? Most people are completely unaware of it. There is no kind of, you know, nods a few ways from the angels that you know what I'm here for you. Is it because of what you said that they can't coerce you into doing anything is it about have, you know our freedom to choose? Or is it some other reason?

Ros Place  15:06  
So there's a couple of reasons. The first reason is that your guardian angel has been with you since the moment that you were conceived. And throughout the whole of your gestation period, throughout birth, throughout all of your life, and therefore, the degree of familiarity that you have with your guardian angel can in the beginning make it very difficult to distinguish them from you. Because they are such a part of you. And as you say, they are with you. They are always wanting to help you and support you. My experience is that what makes that difficult is that as humans, we create what I think of and what I've personally experienced as a defence mechanism, a human defence, which is intended in rational terms, to keep us safe from anything which we don't understand. When we've been hurt in our lives. For example, this defence mechanism can be created, we are told by our parts of our ego, we are told by our logical mind that we must create this defence mechanism in order to remain safe in order to be vigilant in order to be aware of things before they come. But this is extremely repellent energy, which actually creates in many cases, the reverse of what's intended, because this defence mechanism is a protectionism, which becomes a barrier. So your guardian angel is always trying to help you your guardian angel is always radiating the energy of your purpose to you. Often people will see signs, people will talk about repeated numbers, people will talk about white feathers, people will talk about seeing shards of light, people will talk about perhaps having a sense or a feeling that's just fleeting. So they're always trying to communicate with you, Free Will does play a part. But it's more a case of wanting to support you to experience more love in order that you can become more aware of them. It's a vibration, a question of vibration. I think that when you feel most open and loving, or when you feel most vulnerable, which interestingly, can come at the same time very often. That's when that opening can occur, where your guardian angel can connect with you be felt by you.

Agi Keramidas  17:50  
Thank you for this answer it i It was when you're saying about the defence mechanism of that part of the ego that wants to keep us safe doing the familiar and nothing beyond that. You mentioned that this is a certain vibration, which is, for me, that's very important to realise that these kinds of thinking and acting

Agi Keramidas  18:20  
creates a vibration that in in return will create the external reality or what you will attract. So it was just the meaning my reflection or maybe the rate, in my own words, something of what you said.

Agi Keramidas  18:39  
And I would like to go a little bit more practical now since we're talking about that. And you say that it is anyone can summon their guardian angel and one thing rose that I want to clarify for myself, because you know, for me, it's one thing to have any intuition or a message in my body intelligence, which could be my guardian angel talking or not? What, what I'm trying to say is that it's one thing to have this intuition and knowing, but for me, the word channel refers to something entirely different because you can't have a communication with your intuition as far as I have experienced it anyway. So can you explain that for me as well, because channel is, for me a very specific word in this kind of communication. And also, you can also give us some of the nitty gritty of how would one start going about doing that?

Ros Place  19:56  
Sure. Okay. So, first of all intuition, so intuition in my experience is something which is felt more internally. And intuition can absolutely be utilised. And it's a wonderful first step towards beginning to become open to something which is outside of your usual outside of your usual way of functioning outside of what you would normally do. Because whenever we approach something new, it's important that we feel safe. Because if we do not feel safe, then we resist and we seize up, we become something which is not allowing of natural growth. So intuition, a feeling or a sense of something can really gently be applied to life, if you have a sense and a feeling about something that you should do. And this is where I want to make the distinction actually, between intuition and instinct. For me, intuition is a feeling of this would be a really good idea for me to do this. Intuition for me is, hey, why don't you call that person? Or why don't you open that drawer with you're looking for something that you may have lost? Or a feeling of doing something a gentle step practical way that you can begin to apply what you feel to your life, which is different to instinct, because instinct to me is something which is now if I'm feeling something, if I feel my instincts, it feels physical, and it feels like something which is an instinct is like not to go down that street or not to walk down that alley. That's a real like, some people would describe that as a gut feeling. So do you feel the same?

Agi Keramidas  21:44  
Absolutely. Absolutely. I think I used the word intuition earlier. But yeah, I realised Yes, it is very of the body. It's not yes. And it's yeah, it's quite intention. Yeah, makes you pay attention.

Ros Place  22:00  
Absolutely, absolutely. So intuition is absolutely something which you can apply practically to your life and that can guide you now. With regards to channelling and and instinct as intuition as I as I said, is internal. channelling is external channelling is your guardian angel is not you channelling your guardian angel is connecting with the energy that came to be with you in this lifetime, to direct you to your divine purpose. channelling is a literal channel, the technique that I teach is creating a channel of communication, all the way from you in actual fact, to your heart centre, all the way up through all of your channels of communication up through your crown, and to your guardian angel, and back down. And that channel is created through a process of gentle, loving, next steps of validations of confirmations, of ultimately Trust, which develops naturally between you and your guardian angel as you become open. So channelling is external intuition is internal, both can be developed, both can be practically applied. But does that explain the distinction between the two?

Agi Keramidas  23:26  
It certainly does. Thank you. Yes. How simple is that technique? And is it is so you say that anyone can can do it? Is it a matter of you know, persevering with it?

Ros Place  23:42  
Yeah, it's interesting we had, every month we have a meet up with all of my mentored students. And what's wonderful is when people graduate, they go through the whole year of the programme. And at the end, they share their experience with those that are just beginning their journey. And it was wonderful to speak with one of the mentor students just last night, and her talking about this journey. And being consistent is important, following the technique, learning a very simple process, and allowing your body to absorb that so that it becomes automatic, creates the space through which the channel is created. And once that channel is created, you are able to receive that information in a really clear way. It's a simple process. And what's interesting about the process, and what's been interesting about teaching people this method is that it is about learning to allow and learning to let go of what has held you back in the past and this is where I suppose we begin to talk about personal development because they are so linked What I have found through those that I have mentored is that those that are the most or those that succeed, those that are experiencing the degree of channelling that they that is ultimate, have been successfully able to conquer personal development issues and areas, which have held them back in their personal life, and are preventing them blocking them from making the spiritual progress, which will allow them to channel but once they transcend those blocks, once they allow trust, let go release, not only do they channel, but they have transcended to the next level of personal development, the barriers are gone. And life becomes, as it was intended, ease, Smos, Grace, it's gorgeous. So anyone can, but it's a process of learning to not try like when we learn things, as humans, we work really hard we try, I can definitely associate with that. It's like, if I'm doing something, I'm going to give myself to it, I'm going to try, I'm going to work really hard, all the conditioning that we learn as a human. But this is kind of the antithesis of that. This is allowing, this is letting go. This is through a beautiful process of trust, which naturally evolves in your own way, on your own timeline, no pushing, and forcing them making things be the channel opens.

Agi Keramidas  26:54  
If you're enjoying this episode, can you find one person that you think would add value to and share it with them, I would really appreciate you and it really helps grow the show and also helps you add value to people who care about. Thank you so much. Let's get back to the episode.

Agi Keramidas  27:16  
Tell me a bit more about you those blocks those barriers you mentioned earlier? Are they in the subconscious barriers? Or the energetic barriers? Are they all sorts of different barriers? What's your experience with that?

Ros Place  27:34  
Yeah, they are all different. So where they show up, I'll give you an example of where a couple of have shown up in a in a way that. So what's interesting about this is that very often what it is possible for us as outside of a situation to see as a repeated pattern or recurring situation in someone's life is very difficult for that individual to see when they're in the thick of it. That makes sense? Oh, yes. And I think we can all benefit from a little bit of an external kind of like, constructive feedback sometimes. But in terms of where these blocks occur, for example, there was a wonderful man who has just graduated in in the programme, a man who's just graduated, the programme we were talking about earlier. And he has been able to, through a series of layers release incredible fear, which was installed in him as a child, a feeling of abandonment, and a feeling of deep fear which he experienced in his childhood, which has had a ripple effect throughout his entire life, his inability to fully open to trust and nurture healthy relationships, to allow anybody in and close to fully let go and allow himself to be loved. And we I don't mind saying had a number of sessions together, where the frustration that he felt was tangible. He was upset. Why can't I do this? Why is this not possible? I'm trying as hard as I can. And through language, we talked about letting go was too much to talk about. Letting Go was too much. It was just being more gentle in terms of perhaps releasing a little of the control, trusting and trying this approach, which can be something which can be stopped at any time this new approach to accepting and allowing and not only that this wonderful man through channel of clarity community A channel with his guardian angel in a way which is allowing him to not only receive, ask questions and receive answers to things which he has always wanted to know in his life. But also, and this is really exciting, has also opened him up to within his area of interest, which is astrology, begin to ask questions and explore very detailed subject areas, which he knows nothing about directly from his guardian angel. And that has been mind blowing, in addition to that, living life with this guardian angel planning that beautiful future that they are now creating into reality. And feeling the way that he described it is, he's not the same person that he was. He's at peace, he feels love. He's ready to be loved. He's ready to share love. And there's this beautiful contentment that just radiates from him now, where there was once constriction and fear, and a real sense of always being defensive. I said a lot there. I hope that that goes some way to answer the question that you asked, okay.

Agi Keramidas  31:16  
Yes, it doesn't, it gives me a handle to ask about living with purpose, which I think it is, in a way you were describing, even though you didn't use the word to you it was it sounded to me like someone living their purpose. And that is something that many people more and more people are really looking for. And probably that's why they're listening right now to this conversation. I want to bring this purpose or leaving a purpose, and how, you know, you said that when you live your life with your guardian angel, then the result of it or the actions that you will be tending to take anyway would be aligned with with that, and I wanted to bridge that in particular with you mentioned personal development. And I want to discuss this, the correlation and the distinction about personal development and spiritual development, because I think there is, there are so many common things in many ways, it is the one and the same thing. But it's not in another way, there is a distinction there. And I think it is important, if not imperative to embrace the spiritual development side of things if we want to advance in January, rather than going around in circles with even more knowledge every time. And I'm generalising now, but I think you can understand the point of the question I'm asking, I hope.

Ros Place  33:00  
Yeah, well, I'll have a go. I hope that I understand. I think there's so much to explore within that, isn't it, I can feel my heart start beating as you start to talk about so. So personal development and spiritual development I describe as two sides of the same ladder. So I always describe you could I always say that you can advance so much, personally. And then your spiritual growth is required in order to support you to elevate to that next level. And I think that a lot of people experience that spiritual growth in ways which perhaps they aren't fully aware of. I think that a lot of people who are highly successful, are actually much more spiritual, they might say, intuitive than, then we realise that accessing that tremendous power that we all have access to, which means that we never need to be alone, which means that we never need to make choices which are going to take down blind alleys, which means that we're never going to have to move in a direction that isn't our next step isn't aligned with our purpose. So personal I, in my field, which is spiritual development, I am so thrilled and excited about personal development. Because often in the spiritual development realm, I witness a lot of passive spiritual development, I'm gonna call it, it's very much like, I'm just going to kind of see what happens. I'm going to put it out there. And there are a lot of people that talk about spiritual development in a very kind of encapsulated way. When to me spiritual development is an opportunity for you to develop personally because for guidance that you can receive from your guardian angel the answers the direction co creating life with your guardian angel is For practical, you can ask questions about things that you want to know about. And you must practically apply it to your life. It's not even enough to know your purpose. Even if you know your purpose. It's important that you apply practically that spiritual guidance to your life in order to fully benefit. And in terms of the connection. Spiritual development for me is something which has brought so many incredible blessings into my life and into my family's life. We are currently living life travelling with Tucson, my guardian angel directing our journey through Europe currently through the Balkans currently. And that has been an exciting journey for all of us and expansive opportunity for our entire family, to experience a life which has allowed us family connection and time opportunity to explore new horizons, to introduce our children to the wider world and to have an understanding of how we are all the same. And we are all connected, and how much kindness and goodness there is there out in the world contrary to what we are often what is often projected upon us. And living life with Tucson, my spiritual development is providing tremendous opportunities to learn life lessons, which is really what I feel is the interface between spiritual development and personal development life lessons, things which keep coming up things, which if you ignore will just repeat in slightly different ways. But once you clear them, you truly are free to live life in a way that you intended.

Agi Keramidas  36:52  
It is such a beautiful message and very inspiring and empowering nothing for those who want to throw I would, I would rewind it and listen to that, again, it I think it's really it can uplifting, as well. Based on all the conversation we've had today, what's one actionable step in action that the listener can take as a result of this to make an advancement or a progress? Yeah,

Ros Place  37:25  
it's a very simple step. And it's something which is very easy to do. But it's something which you can really deeply allow yourself to rest into. And it goes back to what I was talking about with regards to becoming open, that experience of the heart, that experience of love that opening that laying down of the defences, and doing so in a way that feels safe, what I teach people as part of the process and I'd love to do this with you again, if you'd like to and your audience might like to join in, when there's somewhere they can be sitting and peaceful and quiet is to place your hand over your heart. So the way that I know that my hand is over my heart centre is by putting my thumb just underneath my collarbone and placing my palm across my chest and then closing your eyes. I'd love you please, to enjoy feeling yourself, move into your heart. You can enjoy that experience as a feeling of warms. Just a pleasant feeling. A feeling of being a little bit calmer. Feeling a little bit more in your body and enjoying the feeling of your chest and your breathing moving up into the palm of your hand. And then saying to yourself inside and when you can be private and alarm saying it out loud. saying to yourself with feeling I love you. I accept you for all that you are. I love you unconditionally

Ros Place  39:38  
just allowing yourself to accept love to accept a better feeling to accept gentleness softness and when you're ready placing Both of your palms, on your legs, making sure that your body is the first thing that you see when you open your eyes coming back. And that process of just putting your hands on your chest is something that you can do that will connect you in with your heart. With I love you, I accept you for that you are, I love you unconditionally, it feels so unusual to say it to begin with, it feels for some people uncomfortable, it can feel awkward. But the more that you give yourself to this feeling, the more you will increase your ability to feel love for yourself, and therefore feel love for others. So that's what I would encourage everybody just start with themselves. I love you, I accept you for all that you are, I love you unconditionally, and say it to as much as you can with feeling to yourself every time you do it. And that's really where I would recommend you begin.

Agi Keramidas  40:59  
Thank you. So how wonderful it was. Because we didn't have much time to talk about your book, centre of clarity, but I know that you have an offer for the listeners. So please direct him or her to where they can find the book with this offer. You haven't also any other place you'd like to share to share with with them so that they can carry on with the conversation. Of course, I will put up all the links in the show notes as well.

Ros Place  41:35  
Oh, thank you it. So yeah, in the shownotes, there'll be a link to, for your listeners to be able to purchase the channel of clarity, digital book, and all of the additional resources that go along with the book for just $1. And that will provide you with the full channel of clarity technique. There are some wonderful assessments and quizzes. There's the story there have been meeting the billionaire, and many other stories about my own experiences of lack of self confidence, people pleasing. I certainly am work in progress, as we've talked about previously. In addition to that, if anyone would like to find out more about the ways that I work with angels, then I think my YouTube channel is the best place to go there. It's the guardian angel channel on YouTube. And there are meditations. There are videos, which I create every week and love to share. And come along and say hi, let me know that you've seen the video. And I'm very active there. And I'd love to chat.
