What are Spirit Guides
Even when you feel as though you are completely alone, there
are Divine Companions who are always with you. Before your incarnation they
chose to accompany you through your lifetime- from the moment of your first
breath- until your last. According to many in the spiritual beliefs, Spirit Guides are highly evolved beings that have
completed the cycle of birth and death in the physical plane and are now
serving as teachers and guides to further elevate their vibrations. They are as
“real” as you are- they are just vibrating at another level and reside in
another plane of existence.
They work to guide you by working through your dreams and
intuition. That quiet voice you hear is often the voice of your teachers and
guides. They may also make themselves known to you through signs and symbols. Though I did not believe in Angels or Guides per se, I found myself finding feathers everywhere when I was going through a very difficult phase in my life. I even started seeing images in clouds that resembled angel wings I just could not ignore.
I later discovered by doing research and speaking to my clients doing spiritual sessions that this was often true for them too. They would:
- find feathers,
- see images of angels,
- see angelic messages all the time,
- and also hear songs related to angelic protection.
Some individuals have one guide and others have multitudes-
much of this depends on the path and purpose of your life. For instance, a
teacher/professor may have several guides- one to guide them through the
academic nature of their profession and others to assist them with the great
emotional requirements of performing such an important task. A policeman,
fireman, or soldier will often have a “team” of warriors guiding and protecting
them. Much of who your guides are indicative of your own personal journey
though life.

Spirit Guides or Angelic Guidance
Spirit guides are almost never a loved one who has passed
away. Although our loved ones stay with us in spirit and we can contact them,
they do not serve the same role as a “spirit guide”. Some individuals have
Archangels and Angels as spirit guides who are always with them. Yet, the
presence of Angels does not always mean they are your spirit guides. Angels can
be called in times of distress to assist you for a short time. If you have an Archangel or Angel as a guide, chances are your mission
in life is a complex one. Through my experience with being a psychic reader and
spiritual teacher- I have found that individuals with a challenging life path
often have Angels as spirit guides.
Your spirit guide is always with you, whether you
acknowledge their presence or not. You cannot call them to you or send them
away- they are part of you and your journey. However, you can choose to gain
the knowledge of who they are and what their role in your life is. You can
interact with your spirit guides in a more proactive way. If you want to know
who your guides are, just ask. Get in a quiet and meditative space and ask that
they reveal themselves to you.
Do not get discouraged if you do not figure it
out right away. Beings from the spiritual realm often communicate through signs
and symbols. Once you ask- you must trust your own wisdom. Pay attention to the
pictures that appear in your mind. If you see a man in a suit- stay with that-
it could be he is a philosopher or scientist. You may see a Native American
Indian, a Buddhist Monk or you may see nothing at all. Keep your mind and
intuition open. Pay attention to things that keep coming up after you have
asked that they reveal who they are. If you are having a challenge discovering
who they are you can also contact a professional psychic/intuitive to assist
you.
Working with your spirit guides can be an incredible tool
for your own personal and spiritual growth. Unlike beings who are in the
physical- their wisdom and advice is not influenced by the “world”. They dwell
in a higher vibrational plane and the mundane particulars of your situation are
not relevant. For example- if you seek guidance from your spirit guide
regarding a relationship- they will lead you to focus on what you are learning,
what you need to learn, what you are teaching your partner, and what is the
true meaning of your relationship. The fact that they leave the toilet seat up
or are terrible at budgeting the household finances will be irrelevant. The
information that you will be provided with- will be actions that YOU can take
to gain more understanding. You can also ask your Spirit Guides to assist you
in physical healing. Before you go to sleep, ask that as you are sleeping- you
receive healing.
You are never alone. Never. Take faith in knowing and
understanding that there is so much magic and mystery in this life. Just for a
moment let the “world” disappear. Raise your vibration and allow the beautiful
gifts of spirit wash over you. Life is so much more than what we see. Open your
spiritual eyes and hearts and you will discover a world of wisdom, beauty and
peace that you never knew existed. Of course, you can always choose to not
believe. It is always your choice, thanks to Free Will. But, why not? Why not step into another
level of existence? Why not believe in magic? You do not have to announce it to
the office, but you can embrace the wonders of spirit in your own heart. It
will envelope you in a light of love and understanding- and will mysteriously
transform you to a more connected and loving being. Oh, what would they say at
the water cooler then? My answer is, if it uplifts and elevates, who cares?
