Getting The Answer When Spirit Speaks

People have told me over the years that they never hear spirit, or that their guides do not speak to them at all. This is simply not true. Spirit speaks to all of us daily. Spirit is never the problem; we are! It is up to us to be more aware, to pay attention and listen, and then to follow the guidance, heed the warnings, or implement the answers.

In my experience, this is usually due to a lack of spiritual awareness, and sometimes also based in fear. Our spirit guides and angels are not to be feared. They are there to bring you to a place of receiving clarity on what you should be doing with your life and what steps to take to make the right decisions or choices as you move forward.

Another problem I find is the tendency of some people to ask spirit a question and when they do not like the answer, to continue asking the same question, repeatedly, hoping that spirit will eventually give them the answer they want…and not the truth intended for their highest good.

This happens especially with clients who consult with numerous psychics. They will keep calling different readers, hoping to eventually find someone who will give them the answer they are hoping to hear. Or they will repeat the same question during a reading by asking it in different ways, in the hopes of changing the outcome of the reading.

In these cases, the actual question is usually not really the issue at hand. What more often truly matters is why there is the need to ask the same thing over and over again? Where is the obsession coming from? What is causing this persistent state of denial and self-delusion? Only once the person’s true motivation is unraveled and addressed, will they be able to accept the truth and move forward.

Everyone has the power of intuition, as they have the power of thought. As thought can be cultivated, so intuition can be developed. In intuition we are in tune with reality — with the world of bliss, with the inner laws governing the spiritual world, with God ~ Paramhansa Yogananda

I am often also asked how one can be sure that you are correctly hearing spirit’s guidance. Well, you know you are accurately getting the answer to your question when you clearly sense it in your gut; when the answer resonates with you.

One way to practice this is to do a simple, five-minute ‘receiving’ exercise. Sit quietly, feet flat on ground, hands on your lap. Have a notepad and pen, or your journal beside you, for when you finish the exercise.

At first you are to ask simple ‘yes’ or ‘no’ questions that you already know the answer to. For example, “Is my name Sheri?” or “Is this my journal?” Ask the question in your mind, then close your eyes and begin to consciously breathe.

Steadily breathe in and out. Breathe in positivity, love and light. Breathe out negativity and anything that is not for your highest good. Do this for about four minutes, then for another minute only breathe in love, and breathe out love.

Once you have finished the breathwork, ask the original question again with your eyes closed… and sense in your gut the first answer that comes to you.   Write down whatever impressions you get, even if it is simply ‘yes’ or ’no.’

If the answer you get is ‘no’ to a question you know is ‘yes,’ do not worry. It means that there is negative, blocked energy within you that must first be released. Wait a few hours, and then try the exercise again with the same question. When you finally get the appropriate answer, wait until the next day and then ask a different ‘yes’ or ‘no’ question that you already know the answer to.

Our inner guidance system is usually a feeling, a deep down knowing. We might call it a gut feeling or something we know in our heart of hearts. That’s who we really are and it’s nudges and wisdom is 100% reliable. It always has our best interests at heart. It knows the way through the fog and out into the sunshine ~ Rebecca Perkins

Once you find that when you ask a question you absolutely resonate with the answer and you are getting the correct answer, then do not ask the same question again. Spirit guidance is not a trivial game. Trust every answer you get in your gut, not in your heart or mind, and then move on.

As you practice this, you will find in time that you feel lighter as you are releasing your energetic ‘clutter’ and soon you will find you have more clarity in what spirit has to say to you. You will begin to feel much more in touch with your inner guidance.

In time you will also start to make more and more notes, as you perceive more and more information. At first do not reread any it or worry about the proper spelling. Simply allow yourself to write freely and once you feel you have written down all of it, then calmly read it and see what it means to you.  It may make no sense at all at first, but in time you will increasingly find it meaningful and significant.
