Opening To Divine Guidance

Beginning to work with your angels and spirit guides is just like learning any other new skill. It requires patience, commitment, openness, and a willingness to ask for help.

In fact, I compare opening to divine guidance to learning a new language, because in essence you are discovering the ways you and your ‘spirit team’ communicate with one another.

Everyone has this ability and if you are willing to put forward the effort, the dividends will be life-changing in positive and joyful ways.

The first step, as with everything related to spirit, is to set the intention to work more closely with your spirit team. Ask your spirit team to work more closely with you. Empower them to turn up the volume of their communication with you.

It is important to remember that you are an important member of your team. You are not a subordinate or lesser, because you are in physical form.

In fact, our spirit team reveres us for our courage to come forward into this lifetime, and they assembled strictly for the purpose of supporting us in this endeavor. They are here to make your life easier and to support you, so let them!

The first way spirit communicates with us is through signs. This can be something as profound as a book we need to read falling off the shelf in front of us at a bookstore; or overhearing a conversation that answers a question in your heart; or something as simple as finding feathers and pennies on the sidewalk.

The key to determining if something is divine guidance or not, is how it makes us feel. If we feel love and inspiration, rightness in our heart, mind and body, then it is a Divine message. If it makes us feel scared, frightened, or disempowered then it is not divine guidance, it is human ego.

Synchronicity is another way that spirit communicates with us. Synchronicities occur when we are in the flow of Spirit and people, ‘coincidental’ experiences and opportunities are brought to us – seemingly by magic or ‘good fortune.’

These occurrences typically provide us with just the information we were seeking or needing at that time. A good example of a synchronicity would be needing help with a health problem, but not knowing where to find it, and then seeing a flyer at the grocery store for a local holistic practitioner, or a new treatment, or product that will help your condition. Remember, if it feels loving and supportive, it is divine guidance.

Another important quality of divine guidance is that it never waivers. Spirit will repeat the same messages over, and over again, until you finally get it. So, if you are repeatedly receiving the same messages to improve your diet, eliminate an allergen, go to the doctor, read a specific book, take a class, move to a new location, be charitable to neighbor, reach out to a friend, and so forth, there is a good chance it is divine guidance.

Be sure to tune in to how you are feeling when you receive these messages. If you feel an inner knowing that this is truth, or any of the positive indicators mentioned above, then you need to do your part and act.

Action is the most important part of opening to divine guidance. Its purpose is not to tell us what to do and remove all responsibility from our shoulders, but rather, it is designed to provide us with the map and signposts to help us achieve our dreams, fulfill our purpose, and experience more love, joy and fulfillment in this lifetime.

Divine guidance is always empowering, never diminishing. It will provide you with action steps, and lovingly support you as you take them, just like a parent would lovingly support their child as they learn to walk – by guiding, not carrying.

Remember, like any great adventure, our lives unfold step by step. So, paying attention to these clues when the show up in your daily reality. Acting on them is crucial to move forward in your life, with the grace of spirit by your side. May many angels accompany you on your journey.
