Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides come in many forms, and we all have them but it is seldom that we speak to them. Why is this? Why do we ignore something that is here to help us as we traverse this world without really knowing we are here? What are the many forms and who are they? How does one make contact with them and open a dialogue? Do people have just one or are there many? Are there different types of guides?

The goal of this article is to answer these questions.

Before a soul comes to earth for the human experience they create what is known as a life plan. This life plan includes the family you will be in and who will play each part. It includes the friends that will come and go in and out of your life. It includes where you will incarnate on the earth, and what type of experiences you will have, and what it is you want to achieve or balance.

Additionally you will make an agreement with a soul that wants to have a human experience but will not be physically incarnating. This is the soul that is your main spirit guide. I like to call this guide the gate keeper. They know you and your life plan and their goal is to assist you in achieving that which you set out to achieve in your earth incarnation.

It is critical that they perform this task for you because when you officially enter into this earthly realm your mind is wiped so to speak. Without this soul guiding you, it would be extremely difficult to stay on task and do the things you set out to do. Many times they make their presence known and it is usually easy to accept this as a child.

You may hear children speaking of their friend that no one else can see and this friend is usually called a child’s imaginary friend. Little do many people know that this friend is not imaginary it is a real being that children are able to see because at that age they are still very much connected to the spiritual side of things and have not learned to fully forget who they are. After the age of seven the frontal cortex of the human brain is fully developed and that connection is harder to establish as the cortex tends to shut off physic abilities.

Many people ignore their guide out of ignorance of their existence, or because of fear, or they are told as mentioned before that their guide is just imaginary. People grow up in the human world where anything that is unseen is met with skepticism and those that speak of such things are ridiculed. Another reason that spirit guides are ignored is because the left side of the mind, the more logical and egotistical side of the mind, wants to be in control. The left side of the mind will reason with you when you get an inspirational idea, or have that Ah HA moment that it is just coincidence or chance but it is in most cases your guide giving you information.

Another thing to note about spirit guides is that they are limited in what they can do until we ask for their help or assistance, this is because they must honor our free will. There are times that they can step in without permission and one those times is if you are in a situation that would cause you to die before your time. This is another part of the life plan, which is called the exit point. Many people who live through horrific accidents or who live through death defying situations is because their guide stepped in to help them.

A common pattern that occurs after a person meets their spirit guide is to feel as if they have some sort of mental disorder causing them to hear voices, which can result in a person ignoring their spirit guide or their intuition. A person may also be fearful because most times when people think of spirits they think of negative ones.

This is not to say that negative spirits do not exist however a person’s main spirit guide is a benevolent one. A person can tell the difference between a negative spirit and a positive one based on how they are spoken to and how they feel after their interaction with their spirit guide. A cold feeling or communication that seems deceitful is an indication of a negative spirit. A warm and uplifting feeling and unemotional truth based communication is a sign of a positive one.

If a person asks to speak to their spirit guide be very intentional about it. You may already have an idea of how they feel energetically since they have been with you since birth. They will speak to you in whatever way gets your attention and also based on your own psychic abilities. You can contact them simply by asking to meet them. Once you ask look for signs, check your feelings, and be patient. They have to work past all of human crap that has built up within the mind and body but once you establish connection with you spirit guide you will know exactly how to do it again.

Contacting them can be done through meditation, through automatic writing, through your mind, or as some people have had it happen you just hear them or see them. Having a QHHT session is also a very good and safe way to meet your spirit guide because you are in the right state of mind to do so and are completely relaxed in session. Some people have reported hearing answers to their questions over the radio, through song, in books, or through friends. Your guide can use all of these things to get your attention and to help you understand their communication style.

If you want to be simple about it calm your mind and pose a question and see what comes to mind. The way you receive the information is the communication style of your guide that works well with you personally. Be simple, be direct, and trust in the process. Do not over complicate it and do not expect full blown conversations in the beginning, because you also have to change and be open to them. It will seem strange at first but once you establish trust and communication your spirit guide is a great ally to have.

Guides can appear in many forms but really they are energy and frequency. They will appear to you in the way that makes sense to you. They can appear as human, as light/orbs, as animal, or even look angelic. They do this to give you something that brain can rationalize. Everyone has one guide but you can have as many as you need. Some come and go to help you specific issues or problems, some are even your own past life versions of yourself. Cool is it not.

On a personal level.

I met my spirit guide over a decade ago as I was going through my wake up process. My guide appeared to me when I was going through a difficult time in my life as this often happens to people. Losing something you truly love often times causes a person to look inward which was exactly what happened with me and my life. I was going in the complete wrong direction with my career, with the people I interacted with, with the foods that were going into my body, and the information that was going into my brain. I met a person who is able to see and paint spirit guides and I was extremely skeptical about it so when I made the call to have a painting done of my guide I did not give many if any details at all. A week later I received the painting of my guide and I was left speechless. It was the moment I needed because I thought I had lost my mind. I would even go around testing this theory of having a spirit guide while talking to other seers and open mind individuals all of whom described the same guide to me. From then on I walked to spiritual path but I was only half way in. I had a business that was not aligned with who I am in my core as an energy healer, hypnotist and author. I did not want to give up the money I was earning, and honestly who wants to do that?

When I did however, I was able to see that no matter what a person’s needs are, they are always met regardless of how much money they make. This is especially true when a person starts to walk their chosen path. Things begin to happen in marvelous and miraculous ways for those who walk their truth and are who they are in their core.

I have also had many clients come to me seeking a hypnosis session wanting healing but also wanting to meet their guides as well. It has been extremely honoring and gratifying to bear witness and to guide others through the process of getting to meet their spirit guide. One of the really cool things I found out is everything I heard about guides is true. They do appear in many ways, they do help when you need help, they keep you aligned on your chosen path, and the of course always follow a person’s free will.

To summarize meeting your spirit guide is a wonderful life changing experience. They will appear to you in whatever way makes sense to you because they have to relate to you through the human mind. They are chosen by you to be your eyes and ears while you walk through the human experience so that you stay aligned on your chosen path. You have a main guide but others may come to help you, and if you want to communicate with them just try it. Remember to be very specific when you ask to speak to them, wait and be patient. It may take some practice but once you learn how to do this you will never forget how to.
