About Angels and Spirit Guides

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. 

These can be a wonderful reminder for us to be still and listen to the guidance of my our respective personal guides. The feathers are representative of the energy of guides- this could include powerful Shamans and the others are from the Angelic Realm. You can see more images and have more detailed accounts in my book by clicking here.

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?

Tips for Seeking the Paranormal and Ghost Hunting

Increased Interest in the Paranormal

There has been an enormous upsurge in the interest of paranormal phenomena in recent years. There have been many causes speculated, from the weakening of the base of traditional western Judeo-Christian spirituality to a reaction to the mobility of American society manifest as a longing to commune with long dead ancestors. 

While the psychologists and sociologists continue to debate the issue, the popularity of so called ghost hunting continues to rise. For those who believe in such paranormal phenomena and are seeking to strike out on their own, consider this advice from top ghost hunters.

First, be sure to receive training from qualified ghost hunters before striking out on your own. According to professional ghost hunters, those who attempt to make contact with spirits without being reasonably prepared are at a risk to incur damage, either physically or, more likely, psychologically. 

While some ghost hunters argue over whether or not spirits can physically harm humans, there is a strong consensus that an encounter for one who is not psychologically ready can leave lasting mental and emotional scars. 

Most physical injury is caused by amateur ghost hunters fleeing the scene in the dark and running into or tripping over unseen obstacles. Seasoned ghost hunters suggest that you case the scene in the daylight before returning at night. Having a mental map of the area will help you to keep your bearings in the dark and can help you avoid injury. 

Ghost hunters say that knowing the lay of the land is also helpful in case the situation becomes uncomfortable and you feel the need to quickly retreat. Being certain of the path out of the encounter area can lead to a feeling of greater control over the situation and can reduce the feelings of fear and panic that can occur. Keep your mind open and discover the darkness.

About all the Equipment

You have probably noticed that in all the ghost hunting shows and in everyday life those who dedicate themselves to this endeavor use all kinds of gadgets. The jury is still out on the effectiveness of some of these devices. Many believe that spirits, ghosts and other non-corporeal entities can not normally be detected with our five senses because they exist in a higher vibration. Most peole cannot perceive this area of existence. Animals have a way of hearing higher pitches, or seeing more of the electromagnetic spectrum than most humans. Some of this equipment is suppose to detect at those higher vibrations, be they electromagnetic frequency readers (EMF's) or cameras that have heat sensors, can detect ultraviolet area of the spectrum and /or sound recorders than can capture what we can't hear with the "naked" ear. These sounds are called electronic voice phenomenon or EVP. This has created a whole new market of equipment with all sorts of fancy claims. This field is rapidly evolving and with it scams and shams. This requires you to do a lot of research.

Basically, the best tool is a human being that is a "sensitive", which is a person who can perceive beyond the traditional five senses. More on this in my book.  Very often however, things occur that the average person can detect with just a regular camera, as in orbs (unexplained spherical objects that many believe are ghosts). I personally caught so many I decided I had to write a book about it showing real images (link below). Additionally, any recorder, whether it be digital or older versions can capture EVP's if there happens to be paranormal activity occurring.

The best advice I can give is, to engage in ghost hunting activity does have its risks so use caution. I suggest doing as much research as possible before doing any type of investigation. One has to know to protects oneself from any risk, including encountering something that can't be explained by traditional means. Unlike TV shows, it's not all fun and games. It is serious phenomenon we don't fully understand. It doesn't matter if you are a skeptic or believer, common sense should be used at all times.
