How Connecting to Spirit Guides Can Enhance Your Life
If you are feeling alone or detached, connecting to spirit guides can bring support and guidance in your life. They want you to be happy and live your life's purpose.
There are five main ways that connecting to spirit guides can help you.
Intuition and Guidance: Spirit guides sharpen intuition, offering insights and guidance on life's path. This can help you with decision-making, problem-solving, and overall life direction.
Personal Growth and Development: Spirit guides assist in personal growth by helping uncover potential, overcome challenges, and align you with your life’s purpose.
Healing and Well-being: Spirit guides are often associated with healing and well-being. They will be present during times of illness, emotional distress, or physical pain. Their presence can provide comfort, peace, and a sense of connection to something larger than yourself.
Protection and Safety: You can feel a sense of physical protection from spirit guides. They can protect your car when you are driving or shield you from unwanted or negative energy.
Spiritual Connection: When you feel alone, connecting to spirit guides can remind you that you are supported. There is something greater that connects us to the universe and that universe is here to support you and wants you to succeed.
How can I tell if I’m connecting with spirit guides?
Spirit Guides reveal themselves through signs and feelings. You can connect to your spirit guides through:
Meditation.
Journaling or Automatic Writing (Ask what they want to tell you and then just start writing).
Simply just talking to them as you would in a prayer.
Rituals like lighting a candle or burning incense.
Being in nature
When I wanted to quit my full time corporate job to start my business, I was scared so I needed a sign from the universe that it was the right time. I meditated with my spirit guides and we agreed together that the sign would be pineapples and umbrellas together (and I knew because that is what popped into my head). The next day I was at a store and I saw pants with pineapples on them and then I turned around and there was a rack of umbrellas. I couldn’t believe that I got the exact sign and it came so soon.
That was an amazing experience that I couldn't deny but sometimes spirit guides are more subtle and they communicate with us in feelings. It could be getting chills when you walk into a room or just getting a bad feeling about a person. You have to remember to check in with your body to notice those small nudges that come from outside of yourself.
To help you experience this, here is a quick meditation to connect with one of your spirit guides.
Can spirit guides be human?
You might have already felt the presence of a loved one who passed but couldn’t quite explain what was happening. This is normal. It is very common for past loved ones or ancestors to return to us as spirit guides. They come to us as pure love. Our spirit guides can also be:
Animals or animal totems. Guides can be in animal form and the type of animal may be special for you or could have a universal meaning. Learn more about these meanings at spiritanimal.info.
Passed pets. The pets in your life may move on to become guides for you from the other side.
Angels that are unique to you. In your mind's eye, they may show up with wings but these can be any spirit that wants to support you.
Archangels. Archangel Michael is a common guide offering protection and safety. You can learn more about the specific Archangels in this interview with Doreen Virtue.
Higher vibrational beings. You might not know exactly who your spirit guide is but there are always higher vibrational beings that show up for us. It isn't vital that you know who they are, just that they are there.
The first time I met one of my spirit guides it looked like a giant purple blob to me but it felt like a warm, cozy blanket that was wrapping around me and providing comfort. The important part is the feeling, not the appearance. I also have a psychic surgeon spirit guide who helps me with healings. He looks like a human who is wearing a suit that is too small for him and a top hat. Some people get names for their spirit guides, I don’t, but regardless of their form, you have the ability to connect to your spirit guides. They want to work with you, that is their entire purpose.
How many spirit guides can you connect to?
The number of spirit guides you can have is unlimited but I recommend connecting to one spirit guide at a time so you can really understand their purpose and feel their presence. There may be one spirit guide for physical protection, another for help with relationships and another who guides your career. They may also be with you for your entire life or just for one event so they probably won’t show up all at once. Ultimately, you have a team of spirit guides and you can trust that the ones you need will show up at the right time.
The great news is that this is something you can practice in a safe and fun environment with like minded people in my Soul Alchemy program.
In Soul Alchemy I guide seekers through a spiritual awakening program that empowers you with tools for living a more spiritual life. Connecting to your spirit guides is just one aspect. We also talk about daily spiritual practices for protecting your energy, self healing, manifesting, working with color, feeling your chakras and you will get to try spoon bending to see just how powerful your energy really is.
You are never alone, you just have to connect to spirit guides and ask them to be present. Remember that all you have to do is ask.
