Trusting The Flow Of Spirit Guidance

How do you know who to trust and what to believe these days? How do you decide what is best for you and your family?

In this age of misinformation, alternative facts, fear-mongering, and fake news, is there a way to cut through to the truth for our highest good?

Well, for the spiritually aware person, there certainly is! The guidance of Spirit is omnipresent in our lives, and our angels, guides, ancestors and loved ones on the other side can assist us every step of the way as we navigate through life.

However, while Spirit is omnipresent, it does not automatically intercede in our daily lives without our free will consent.

Except for rare instances of divine intervention, when God, Source, Spirit, the Divine steps in to encourage or protect us (often from ourselves), the rest of our life journey and the fulfillment of our soul plan is our personal mission and responsibility. Spirit will very seldom interfere. However, Spirit is always available to guide, inspire, comfort and protect us if we ask for help.

Our higher selves choose the relationships, circumstances and growth challenges we wish to experience on the earth plane. Spirit, meanwhile, watches with interest as we navigate the twists and turns that we orchestrate for ourselves as evolving souls. Spirit will only come closer to coach or assist us when we specifically call upon its higher power for assistance.

All you need to do to receive guidance is to ask for it and then listen ~ Sanaya Roman

Once we ask, it is given. Spirit will then step forward to protect us, answer our questions, inspire us with ideas and solutions, and so on. Much of this guidance is given to us as inner guidance through intuitions, hunches, or gut feelings. Spirit also guides us in the most beneficial direction through signs and synchronicities.

For example, you will know that Spirit is stepping forward when you suddenly feel a nagging doubt about whether you are making the right decision. Or you may hesitate before picking up the phone to send a text or make that call. Or you may feel a knot in your stomach or a general sense of dread when you enter a place.

When you experience such an intuitive feeling, stop and acknowledge the presence of Spirit, and then pay close attention. It is important to acknowledge to Spirit with gratitude and an open heart that you are receiving the sign or signal.

As a rule of thumb, remember the old adage: “When in doubt, don’t! You can always change your mind and do it later. Doubt is a signal from your higher self to gain clarity first. Ask Spirit to help you gain insight or discern your best options. Only take action when you feel comfortable or when your sense of joy and inner peace returns.

To expand our awareness and increase the clarity of the guidance we receive, it is essential that we consistently build our connection with Spirit, raise our vibration, and maintain our alignment with the universal flow. This is accomplished primarily by adopting a regular spiritual practice or metaphysical routine that includes one or more, preferably daily, activities such as meditation, prayer, divination, journaling, dreamwork, energy work, and so on.

Every time you don’t follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness ~ Shakti Gawain

The more we practice our spirituality as a natural part of our daily lives, the more we expand and improve the flow of guidance we receive. Over time, the fine filament of information that Spirit provides becomes thicker like a thread, and over time the thread becomes a strong rope, and eventually a powerful metal cable! Spirit will always use the strongest pathway or channel possible to connect with us more quickly and easily. It is our responsibility to ensure that we provide the strongest possible connection.

Will you make mistakes? Of course you will! You are on the earth plane to learn and grow. You will expand your knowledge by course correcting as you gain more experience. Do not expect to be perfect. Also, do not expect Spirit to solve all your mundane, everyday problems or remove all challenges from your life. Without the everyday hurdles, obstacles, and setbacks, we will not learn and grow, and soon life in this physical world will become meaningless and very boring.

As your spiritual awareness expands, you will increasingly become more thoughtful and make wiser decisions with much better results. You will become more confident in your ability to listen to your inner guidance and follow your intuition. You will increasingly choose joy and happiness over negativity and worry, and love over fear. And you will manifest more abundance, prosperity and well-being in your life. A spiritually conscious life is a life well lived, with the best possible outcomes for your highest good and the greater good of all.

Ultimately, when it comes to trust, your greatest lesson will be learning to trust your higher self. From there, the world is your oyster, and you will attract the right people and opportunities into your life to help you navigate the twists and turns with joy and confidence.
