You And Your Spirit Guides

We are all surrounded by spirit guides and angels. These otherworldly beings have been with us since birth, and it is their mission to protect and guide us. But who are they, exactly?

Depending on your primary energy (feminine, masculine, or non-binary) your guides will likely have similar forms of energies. These guides are loved ones and friends who have passed on and are awaiting rebirth. They may even have been animals or one of your pets in their former life.

Most of us have a main guide, plus others who play a secondary role. Some may be around  us for our entire life, while others are temporary, or stay only for a specific purpose or to teach a specific lessons, or point the way to a specific destination or solution. The one thing all of them have in common is unconditional love and acceptance – the kind of caring that we often seek among the living, but only rarely find.

Guides are around us all the time, whether we are aware of them or not. They know us better than we know ourselves, and they are able to anticipate what we need.

How do we know they are there? For the most part, they are invisible to us, but can be sensed in other ways. Sudden flashes of inspiration, a favorite song playing when we turn on the radio, the feeling of a hand on your shoulder. Those are all a sure signs a spirit guide or guardian angel is speaking to you.

So, is it possible to communicate with these invisible spirit beings? Of course! Each time we pray or meditate, we are speaking to them. Silently asking for help will call them to our aid. Even if we engage in something meaningful to us, like our hobby or a creative pursuit, there is a dialogue with spirit guides, since they are the source of all inspiration. For some people, journaling, especially of their dreams, is a good way to listen to what their guides are communicating.

The best way to treat our guides is the same way we would treat a much-loved friend. Take time each day to thank them for their guidance and protection, to ask for their wisdom, and express gratitude for their companionship.

It’s common to miss our loved ones, after they are gone, and we sometimes wish we had just one more day to spend with them. Well, spirit guides are our loved ones, returned to us! They were there for us in life, and they will continue to walk with us in the afterlife.

One thing which is often overlooked is how we teach our guides as much as they do us  – particularly if they are waiting to be reborn! In our interactions with them, it is important that we be our best self, and show them as much love and caring as they do for us. Whenever you feel angry or afraid, and feel like lashing out, take a moment to breathe deeply and ask your guides for help and support.

Remember the old phone company slogan to “reach out and touch someone?” It’s always the perfect time to do just that. Your ‘someone’ who truly cares for you is literally infinite.
