About Spirit Guides; part 1
It took me a long time to “come out” and be open about my beliefs and journey in the spiritual. I have always been drawn to anything spiritual and for most, if not all of my life, I have pursued anything that has brought me closer to that. I inherently have always had this deep seated belief that there is more to us than just this physical body.
Over the last decade or so in particular, I have developed a deeper connection and understanding of my Spirit Guides. I communicate with them regularly every day and they communicate with me. They are always by my side. It has become a way of life that feels so natural.
Your spirit guides are with you to guide you on your life’s journey. They are by your side always, whether you know it or not, whether you believe it or not. They are there.
I am not special because I can communicate with my Spirit Guides. I don’t possess any special gifts that you don’t. It is possible for anyone to connect with their Spirit Guides. The only difference between me and someone who may not be aware of their Guides is that I have put the effort in to learning about them and being open to communication with them. And trust, that’s a big one. I trust in what I am receiving is not from me. That one took a while, but now I discern the difference between my Spirit Guides and myself.
I wanted to take a bit of time and write down what I have learnt and believe to be true through my own experiences. Actually they prompted me to write this, and with their help of course! There will be three parts to this little series of blogs.
Part 1: a brief outline about Spirit Guides.
Part 2: how your Spirit Guides connect with you.
Part 3: how to deepen your connection with your Spirit Guides.
Let’s get started!
About Spirit Guides
Every person has at least one Spirit Guide.
Everyone has one Spirit Guide who is with them their whole life. This is your main Guide or ‘Gatekeeper’. They’re the ‘boss’ and overlook the other Guides & anyone else around you.
Generally each Spirit Guide is there to guide you with a certain area of your life. Think of it like an area of expertise. Eg work, relationships, health etc. Sometimes a Guide may cross over and guide you in more than one area of your life. For me, one of my guides assists me with healing and also with my artwork too.
Any other Spirit Guides you have may be with you for a reason or a season. For example, to help you through a difficult time or through a transition in your life. Then they are usually replaced by another Guide when you have completed that transition who can better help you with the next chapter of your life.
Spirit Guides have lived many lives on Earth (and probably elsewhere). They have learnt all they can learn on the Earth plane and then undertake lessons in the Spirit world to learn how to be a Guide.
Once they have prepared to be a Spirit Guide, they are assigned a person to guide from the other side.
You have lived at least one life (on Earth) with your Guide(s). They will present themself to you as they looked in one of those lifetimes. They will appear to you as you need them to appear from that lifetime because there’s something significant about that lifetime that you need in this present lifetime. For example, my main Guide presents as a Native American healer because that is my path in this lifetime. She was my Mother in that lifetime and taught me many things, but most significantly about healing. She helps me with my healing clients in this lifetime.
Spirit Guides have ‘personalities’ although a little subdued. Eg Funny, serious, clever. That attribute is usually what you are needing or how you need to relate to them.
Spirit Guides will help you but you must ask for it. They cannot and will not interfere with your free will. This one can be a bit hard to get your head around, but free will is an important part of your life, and it is important that you make your own choices. Spirit Guides can only guide, they will not force or make you do something.
Your Guides love you so much and are there for you. Don’t forget to ask for help and to keep connecting in to them. They will respond (more on that in Part 2).
They love it when you connect with them, and very much want to help you.
I have collated this information through my own personal experiences and also the many years of spiritual development, courses, reading, through connecting with them and by doing a lot of Spirit Guided drawings. It is my lived truth.
