About Spirit Guides; part 2
I hope you enjoyed Part 1 of my three part series about Spirit Guides.
In Part 1 of this three part series, I explained a little bit about Spirit Guides. How we all have one main Guide and usually a few more around us, what their role is and what they are here for. If you’d like to read that one first before moving on to this blog, you can click here to read Part 1.
Everyone has at least one Spirit Guide guiding them on their life’s journey. Whether you are aware of it, whether you believe it or not; they are there. I have deepened my own connection with my Spirit Guides through learning about them and being open to communication with them. I have had a few (human) teachers along the way that helped me to open up to this, and the more I have done that and trusted, the deeper my connection with my own Spirit Guides.
This is a Spirit Guided pastel drawing of my main Spirit Guide.
Over time, I have come to know that she is of Native American descent. In one of our shared past lives together she was my Mother and taught me healing, as she is in this life too. She’s stern but loving and kind. She’s very much committed to my growth and takes her “job” very seriously.
Through my experiences, I have come to learn a lot of similarities of how they work which prompted me to collate it all in to a three part blog to share the wisdom with others.
This blog, Part 2, is about how your Spirit Guides connect and communicate with you.
As an overview:
Part 1: covers 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.
How your Spirit Guides may be trying to connect with you
You should know that your Spirit Guides want nothing more than to help you in life (that’s their “job”) and they love it when they connect with you! Here’s some ways that your Spirit Guides connect with you.
First and foremost, they will always try to connect with you any which way they can. It will always be in a way that’s personal to you so that they can get through to you. PS Just because you don’t feel the connection, doesn’t mean they aren’t there. It just means you need to pay attention.
Music / Lyrics & Words: Guides often use lyrics from a song, lines from a book, a stranger’s comment, random words you might see out and about to get a message to you at the right moment. Even that random Insta post that comes at the right time. Sometimes it’s like a bolt of lightning that hits you when you hear some words that really resonate and you know you have to pay attention. And sometimes it’s more subtle. The very first time I became aware of my Guides, I heard these lyrics from a song “You can call out my name, and you know wherever I am, I’ll come running… you’ve got a friend”. Just those lyrics over and over.
Intuition: Strong inner knowing and gut feelings are often your Spirit Guides nudging you in the right direction and helping you to make aligned choices. When you just “know” in your gut about something, that’s them making their presence known about a choice you are making.
Dreams: In that time when our conscious mind switches off is when they can best connect with you. Pay attention to your dreams or recurring thoughts that come up at that time. It could be a good idea to keep a journal besides your bed and write down any dreams / inspired thoughts as soon as you awake.
If you’ve ever felt a sudden sense of clarity or peace in difficult times, that can be your spirit guides offering their wisdom and peace.
Signs, symbols & synchronicity: Repeated numbers, feathers, coins or specific animals showing up are often messages from your Guides.
Inspired thoughts: can definitely be from your Guides, although the challenge is always distinguishing between your own thoughts and those from your Guides. This takes a lot of practise and trust to learn the difference.
I bet you’ve had at least a few of these items above happen to you in the past. Now that you know that it may be your Guides trying to connect with you, start paying more attention. Quieten the mind and feel in to your heart. Is it you or is it your Guides connecting with you? The more you do this, the more you’ll be able to feel in to the difference.
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.
