Meet Allison Holley

We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Allison Holley. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Allison below.

Allison, we’re thrilled to have you on our platform and we think there is so much folks can learn from you and your story. Something that matters deeply to us is living a life and leading a career filled with purpose and so let’s start by chatting about how you found your purpose.

In 2012, as a result of some emotional experiences in my life, I went through a profound spiritual awakening. It was incredibly powerful and not at all subtle – I would receive spontaneous visions of the future, began seeing energy, and had moments where time would speed up or slow down in my perception, among many other life-changing experiences. And yes, I was completely sober – not on any plant medicines or mind-altering substances. It was a pretty destabilizing time, and lead to my selling the business I owned – a women’s fitness studio – and spending nearly a year in meditation in order to integrate all that I was receiving.

Through this deep receiving and integration process I was intuitively shown what my life purpose is, including clear visions of how it would play out throughout my life. I saw that I am meant to activate and assist others in their spiritual transformation processes, and to help with the evolution of consciousness that we as a human collective are experiencing.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?

My main purpose is to be a channel, which means to receive messages and guidance while in a deep form of meditation, and to share those messages with others. One of the things I love most about my work is that I get to connect with many who are going through challenges in their lives, and bring them clarity and love. I am honored to be able to meet so many and assist through the heartspace to bring peace to people’s lives.

I also recently published my second book of channeled guidance and am in the middle of a US-wide book tour! My events range from book signings to live channeling events and intuition building workshops.

My book is called Ecstatic Playground, and it is available online and in select bookstores. And I invite all who are able to join me in a live, in-person event during my tour!

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?

For me, meditation – or learning to be inwardly still – has been helpful in every area of my life. In my experience, meditation iis less about learning a technique than it is about surrendering to thee vulnerability of simply being with oneself.

Another skill that has made all the difference is learning to take nothing personally. Many people see what I do as weird! But I have a deep trust in myself, plus I love what I do and find a lot of joy in my work, and so what other’s think of me affects me very little.

Looking back over the past 12 months or so, what do you think has been your biggest area of improvement or growth?

This year I have been almost completely mobile, traveling by car and plane for my book tour events – which are continuing for the rest of the year. I used to need a lot of alone time to recharge. But through this continuous movement and nearly constantly being with people in community settings and events, I have learned to be very present – because I don’t really have time to not be! And through continuous presence, I am finding I need less alone time to replenish my energy. It’s been fascinating to witness how much authentic love and care comes with being present, and how much fun it is to be fully in each moment as I interact with others and the world.
