Ask Your Guides: Connecting to Your Divine Support System (Book Summary)
If you're feeling lost and confused, you're spiritual support team wants to help
Introduction
Goal: for this book to be a guide for you to connect with the spirit world naturally and with ease.
Most people don't have a close connection with spirit so they struggle in life and feel afraid.
Spirit guides help you because it helps them. It's how they serve God.
You have to get ready for spirit like you'd get ready for company coming over your house. The spirit guided world speaks through your heart, not your mind. You have to match the right frequency through your heart. This is where your spirit lives.
Most western cultures teach us that intellect is superior to spirit, but it's not. Your intellect serves your spirit. Like a pet, you should train your intellect to work for you, otherwise, it will create chaos in your life.
The Different Spirit Guides
There are as many different spirit guides as there are people you know.
Guardian Angels: Protect you and walk you through life, your personal bodyguards
Ministry of Angels: Serve guardian angels, they serve in whatever capacity that's required
Joy Guides: Make you giggle and laugh
Teacher Guides: Instruct you, can be more serious, get you to pay attention
Healer Guides: Heal your body and spirit
Helper Guides: Pop ideas in your head
Pay attention to the frequency of your guides. It's a matter of exercising more awareness than you normally do. Pay close attention and notice subtle distinctions/frequencies. Trust what you feel, don't worry about getting it "right". While working with your guides put your hand on your heart and ask if the guidance feels true/natural. Relax when communication with your guides, they want to connect with you.
Learn to tell the difference between the intellect and spirit. The intellect judges, makes you feel self-conscious and is critical. In spirit you lose yourself, your heart opens. You feel a part of life. It is loving and expansive. In intellect, you feel separate from life.
Spirits connect with you in many ways. Sometimes you will get an idea and it feels like an "aha" moment, like a surprise. It's subtle and may come across as a thought you wouldn't normally think. If you choose to go with this thought, magic unfolds. If not, you might miss out on a great opportunity and regret it.
These techniques will threaten your ego/intellect. But if you let your spirit/heart take over it will be easy. You will quickly see evidence in your life to strengthen your belief in spiritual guidance.
Einstein said he didn't do anything when he discovered the Theory of Relativity. He said he was listening to music and the idea just came to him. If you create the opening in your heart and pay attention to how you feel, the information you seek will come to you. Focus on what feels right. You have to be receptive to receiving guidance.
The Five sensory world doesn't acknowledge spirit. It attacks anything it can't control. The people operating in this world will be critical of you.
Your Spirit
You have to connect with your spirit before you can connect with your guides. Your spirit animates you, gives you consciousness, enables you to have desires, think, move, dream, and choose. The ego is physical, it's connected to your body and both ego and body are tools that you use. Your Spirit is your creative force and it gives you access to everything.
Think about the nature of your spirit. Is it adventurous, humorous, quiet, creative, helpful, loving, caring?
Strengthen Your Connection With Spirit
We have to feed our spirit to strengthen it.
To feed your spirit seek things that:
Make you feel like a kid
Help open your heart
Keep you present in the moment
Make you laugh
Help you feel good about yourself
Make you feel blessed
Make you forget about your worries
Examples:
Walks in nature
Art
Flowers
Music
Singing
Taking a long bath
Meditation
Decorating
Candles
Exercising
Natural foods
Beaches/Ocean
Colors
Paying attention to only one task
Feeding your spirit daily is important in having a spirit guided life. You won't succeed if your spirit isn't fed. Pay attention to what you pay attention to.
You have to discover how the world works, instead of trying to manipulate the world into working for you. Through spirit, learn how the Universe works and align with it.
There's always a solution and your spirit will give it to you once you give it what it needs. Build your life around your spirit. Do things daily that feed your spirit, it doesn't take much.
Action Step
Diving for Gold: 3-Minute Daily Exercise
Look in the mirror, verbally ask "If I weren't afraid I would?" Repeat this for 3 minutes and the thoughts that come up are the things that will feed your spirit. You must speak it aloud. Do one of the things that come up and notice how your connection with your spirit strengthens.
If life-changing ideas come up, take note of them then take any small action you can towards it. Allow yourself to consider what it would be like to follow through with the thought. Be open to the ideas that come up.
Raise Your Awareness
Know there is spirit in everything and everyone. Everything is spirit, and everything has a spirit. Look past appearances and judgment. See the spirit in people, animals, and nature. The more you acknowledge the spirit in others, the less your personalities will collide. Through recognition, their personalities step back and their spirit comes forward.
“We fall in love with the spirit of others and we fall into relationships with their personalities.”
-Sonia Choquette
You connect to spirit through vibration. Everything has a vibration and it's how you connect to certain frequencies.
The way to know you're connected is to trust what you're feeling. You don't need to “know” intellectually. It's like you're being guided in the dark, you have to go with it and trust it. You will soon develop a natural inner confidence
Chat with others about spirit
Look for others in your life who are receptive to the idea or join an online community. This will give you a place to share your experiences, build your confidence, and gain support from understanding individuals. Sonia Choquette (the author) has a community for this at trustyourvibes.com.
Your Angels
Guardian Angels: Are sent to protect you, connected to you from birth until death. Watch over you and guide you, help you fulfill your soul's intentions. Always with you whether you know it or not. Protect you whether you ask for their help or not. You set up this agreement before your physical birth. The only guides that can manifest in human form if needed. When you need them most angels will always appear one way or another. You may not realize until after the fact.
Right before sleep is the best time to connect with your guardian angel. When your mind settles, allow your awareness to drift to the side of your bed. Ask your spirit where your guardian angel is standing. Trust where you find your attention resting. Greet your guardian angel. Ask your angel to remove any resistance you may have so that they can better serve you. Ask your angel any special request you might have.
Angel means messenger. Your prayer is a message to your guardian angel. In response, your guardian angel will take care of you. Angels like to be acknowledged. Thank them when they help you.
Arch Angels: God's most powerful and important messengers. Oversee the development of artistic talents. They are friendly and kind, they love to serve you, they don't have an ego
Invoke them at any time by chanting their name slowly. When you call on them, drag out each syllable for a second. Until you say their full name. Call for them 3-6 times and they will show up.
You can invoke them at any time. There are 7 Archangels. Each Angel has its own domain.
Michael: Protection and love
Gabriel: Emotions, calms doubts, boosts confidence
Raphael: Healer, of mind-body, and spirit, When you need inspiration, guidance, not feeling well
Uriel: Provides warnings, patron of music
Raguel: Makes sure others behave, helps with difficulties in your relationships, connects the lines of communication
Sariel: Keeps things in order, when you feel like you are losing control of your life when you don't know what next step to take, organizes thoughts, your options, and gets you moving in the right direction
Remiel: Angel of hope, works with life and death issues, including circumstances, big transitions in life.
Ministry of Angels: Armies of angels that show up to help in every area of your life. Whatever you need help with, you can ask these angels. Learning, creativity, career, gardening, cooking, traveling, falling in love. They love to bring you gifts. You just have to ask for their help. Say "angels I need your help". You have to act on the guidance to receive the benefit.
A good practice is to start every undertaking with a short prayer. "Ministry of Angels oversee all that I do and make it easy and magical and filled with gifts, thank you"
All you have to do to connect with your angelic guides is to believe. Close your eyes and see if you can sense your guardian angel standing by you. Let your imagination show you, trust what you feel. Ask to feel the energy/frequencies of your guardian angels, archangels, and ministry of angels. Ask what color, sound, or element you feel. Whatever comes to you is your answer from spirit. Practice this often and speak aloud which angel you feel. Describing what you are feeling strengthens your awareness of your guides. With practice, you will be able to differentiate your guides frequencies as easily as you would with instruments in an orchestra.
Don't let your intellect interfere with your connection to the spirit world. Don't let it tell you you're making things up. Even though you're imagining it doesn't make it any less real. Your imagination is how the spirit world connects with you so what you are feeling is as real of a perception as any.
Make a habit of singling out different vibrations at different times of the day. Call up your spirit, the spirit of those you are close with, the nature world, your animals, guardian angels, archangels, and ministry of angels. Notice the frequency and describe it to yourself. Let your imagination be your guide and enjoy the process, there is no right or wrong, there is no rush.
Spirit guides are as varied as the people in this world. There are an infinite number of them. They help in short and long-term efforts. They are ready to help you when you call on them.
Difference between Angel vs Spirit Guides
Angels: never had an earthbound experience, never had a physical body, always been a messenger of God, high and pure vibration, never had ego energy in their vibration, always with us, can serve you without your permission, easy to connect to.
Spirit guides: Have had at least one earthbound experience, they understand our human experience, teach us how to grow our soul and master our creativity in human form, like a mentor, spirit guides come when we call on them, can't help you unless you give permission, requires little more effort to connect with initially.
Who are your guides?
Your guides have lived on Earth at one point in the past.
Spirit guides raise their vibration by helping us. So they continue to grow spiritually even out of the human body. The concept is similar to a graduate student who acts as a teaching assistant. The graduate student has had similar experiences with you and by helping you they also advance further in their academic career.
Your guides might have shared past lives with you, be family members who have crossed over, lifetime spiritual teachers, or nature spirits.
Spirit guides come in all forms. Keep you connected to the earth, your path, connected to your authenticity, help you make your greatest contributions, support you through your lessons.
Where do they come from?
Spirit guides come from every dimension, planet, solar system but they are all sent from GOD.
How many spirit guides do I have?
You decide how many guides you have. You have as many as you need. Your guides change. They come and go as needed. You have the guides you need when you need them. Some guides are better than others. We (humans and spirit guides) are all on a journey to higher consciousness. Spirit Guides have crossed over but this doesn't automatically make them perfect or enlightened beings. Protect yourself by only asking for the highest guides of light and love.
Guides make your life easier but they won't do the work for you.
Your guides are there to support and assist you but not to do the work for you. They can't tell you what to do. It would break the divine contract.
Ask your guides "Show me what will be for my highest good". They will give you suggestions, bright ideas, nudges, inspiration. But they won't run your life.
Meeting your guides
First ask yourself what area of your life you want guidance in, where can you use support? How open are you to being guided? Are you open to new ideas? Are you willing to try something new? The nature of guidance is to give you brand new information. If you are stuck in your ways you will just dismiss the information given to you.
"Spirit guidance is an experience in which you are being communicated with in every possible way, how many ways are you open to being communicated with?"
-Sonia Choquette
To be open to guidance you should practice being flexible in your body, mind and routine. When people make suggestions, consider them.
Quiet your mind and listen within. Spirit guidance is subtle, it can feel like a thought behind a thought. Practice being attentive and quiet your mind. You can practice your breathing by sitting quietly and doing nothing else, listen to your favorite music without letting your mind drift, practice meditating, notice a person's pattern of breathing, how someone speaks, notice the environment around you. This will train your brain to quiet down and pay attention to the things you chose to focus on. These practices train you to listen and this is the key to connecting to your spiritual guidance.
Exercise! Move! Get out of your rigid behavior, mind, and body. This makes you more flexible and spontaneous. The nature of guidance is to change direction, make new decisions, and come up with new strategies. By being spontaneous you can easily flow with the guidance you receive.
If you question your guidance you lose the moment and the ease at which it flows to you.
Call on Divine Guidance
"Divine guidance move me, move my body, mind, and attention to where it needs to be".
Guides are energetic forces that move you, it is not an intellectual experience.
You always have a choice in life. Take responsibility for your choices. Be open to receive guidance and to make the right choice. Being judgmental and holding a grudge disconnects you from guidance, your spirit, and others. Stop judging yourself, others, and stop holding grudges. Forgive others and release the negative energy that is holding you back. Sometimes it takes many chances to learn a lesson. Forgive yourself when you do judge.
Get in the habit of beginning each task with a prayer for guidance. "Angels help me make it the best possible day, take me to work the quickest, most delightful way possible." Practice asking for help and checking in with your guides. If you're tired, ask for help. If you're ordering at a restaurant, ask what the best meal is and what's good for you.
Do something out of routine every day. Change your route to work, talk to someone new, ask them how their day is. Doing something different acts as an opening for your guides to capture your attention and surprise you and show you their magic. When you review your day each night forgive, forget, release, any situation or individual that has been weighing on your mind. Write down anything you can't let go of. Tell your guides you are receptive in your sleep and ask that they help you.
Spirit guidance is subtle, we have to raise our perceptivity and awareness to notice it but in time it becomes easier and easier to notice.
Distinguish Guides from the Intellect
Say aloud "let me ask my guides", put your hand on your heart, take a breath and say, "they say…" listen to the content and feel the vibration. Let your inner self speak freely. 5-15 minutes every day. The more you allow your guides to talk, the more they will answer.
Practice connecting with your guides with friends who are receptive to the idea.
Writing to Your Guides
Introduce yourself, ask for the highest guidance from life and love, and request help for the things you want.
In a quiet uninterrupted place, state your intention through writing. Write questions then lift the pen and relax, wait until you feel moved to write. Keep your writings in the same journal and don't discard them as the guidance may make more sense down the road.
For 30-45 minutes write down all your questions then lift the pen and relax. Ask your spirit the question you want to be answered first. Say "my guides say….". Wait until you feel moved to write. Your intellect may come up but as you write it will go away. Ask 1 or 2 simple and direct questions at a time.
Guides can only connect with you if your awareness is focused on the present.
Set intentions, expect results, don't let your mind interfere, and be consistent.
Good guidance: doesn't flatter you or make you feel special, it will be a suggestion, it will be good for everyone involved, good guidance is consistent, you will get the same answer if you ask at a different time.
Visualizing
Seeing your guides requires your third eye/inner eye. This is what your imagination uses to picture mental images. You have to strengthen your inner eye through practice.
Visualizing, place an object in front of you and close your eyes, try to picture this object as clearly as you would with your physical eyes open. Write or speak the things you visualize, describe them.
An exercise to practice connecting with your guides is to daydream. Daydreaming is letting yourself have pleasant inner experiences, and thinking thoughts that feed your soul. You are allowing yourself to have an adventure in another dimension. Don't underestimate the power of daydreaming. By daydreaming you open yourself up to visions of the future, metaphors of what's to come, inspiration, preparation, or symbols.
Different Types of Guides
Nature spirits: Earth (gnomes), Water (undines), Fire (salamanders), Air (sylphs)
Every living thing has its own spirit and vibrational force. We need to connect with nature spirits to be fully integrated in our experience here on Earth. These spirits help us feel better physically in our bodies. Being disconnected from our Earth nature shows itself through anxiety, worry, sleeplessness, and being overly preoccupied. Earth spirits help ground us and reconnect us to our bodies.
Earth spirit: Devas are the most important spirits for our physical journey here on Earth. The predominant color on Earth is green in order to help ground us in our human experience. Go outside and pay attention to the world around us, lay on the grass, sand, walk through the woods, or garden. The more disconnected we are to the Earth the more the Earth spirits will try to remind us to be respectful.
Gaia Mother Earth is the greatest earth spirit. At the very least you should connect to the Earth spirit.
Water spirits: Cleanse and clear out, work on your feelings. Water spirits respond to energy and consciousness.
Ask the Water spirits to cleanse your emotional debris when you are taking a shower. Drink a glass of water before bed and ask water spirits to cleanse any negativity from the day. Dreams involving water relate to big life transitions.
Air spirits: Speak to the mental body. They work on your negative thinking and keep your mind open. Clear and relieve you of fearful thinking. Connect with them when you feel fearful, defensive, or are lacking confidence.
To connect with them, breathe deeply. Start your day with 5-10 deep cleansing breaths.
Fire spirits: These spirits dance, they excite your passion, get you moving, and engaged in life. Be very respectful to these spirits because they like to move/initiate things.
Invoke these spirits if you feel like you are in a rut. Light a fire in a contained place (larger fires are no more effective than smaller fires), give it your full attention the entire time, write on little pieces of paper the things you want to get started in your life. If you want a new job, to move, find a significant other etc. put it on the paper. Write down anything that relates to change and throw it in the fire.
These spirits are intense, only invoke them if you are serious, be cautious with these spirits.
The Four Nature Spirits
Earth: Grounding, emotional healing
Water: Cleanse, refresh and clear your spirit
Air: Mental clarification, calm and focus
Fire: Inspire passion, new life, blessings, creativity, and spiritual healing
Runners
Runners help you move through the physical world and accomplish your goals quickly. Like scouts, they help find and get things for you. They are very efficient in connecting you to what you seek, like a ticket to an event, your car keys, or parking spots. They love helping you. Send your runners to get you the best movie seats, to get you upgraded airplane seats, your ideal home, the perfect outfit, or a good restaurant. They give you what you need to have self-care. Always thank your runners, they like recognition.
Helper Guides
Helper guides come and go depending on what you need help on. They help make your life easier so you can enjoy it more. They have had past experience in the area you are focusing on. When calling on helper guides ask for the most sophisticated help (guides with the highest level of expertise).
2 Types of Helper Guides: Shared past lives together or they love what you are doing/you share similar interests
Helpers can help you with anything you want help with. Be clear on what you want and ask for their help. They were all human at one point so their vibration is strongly connected to the human plane. They communicate telepathically, in words or short messages, the answers will feel like they just popped in your head. They are brief and don't elaborate. You must act on their info right away. They help you in order for them to move on to higher vibrations. Focus on the area you want help in, ask for the highest level of expertise. Don't just target your family and friends who have crossed over. Open your heart, quiet your mind, and listen for guidance, it will likely come when you least expect it.
Healer Guides
2 Types of Healer Guides: Some were healers in past lives and they focus on healing your body. Others guides from high energetic frequencies but might not have been in human form, work on healing your spirit.
Healer guides don't need your permission to help, present with you all the time, use every means available to get your attention. They work to raise your awareness of your mind, body, spirit, and the care of your well being.
Warn you about personal choices that may harm you, let you know of sources of support that may help you, and warn you of environmental dangers you are unaware of. They are persistent in getting your attention. Healer guides may give you the information you might normally reject so be receptive.
Healers guides work with healers on this plane (your doctors, therapists, etc.) as well as the emotional realm. Ask your healer guides to send you to the best specialists. The more you love yourself the more you become a vessel for healer guides.
Healers guides always leave you feeling peaceful, self-loving, and self-accepting. They are gentle and forgiving. They speak to your heart. You must love yourself and forgive yourself and others in order to work with healer guides. Ask your guides to help you love yourself, accept yourself, and to help you let go of the past. They can heal your ego so that you can love yourself again.
Invoke your healers to help you find compassion and love for yourself. Be willing to be healed, set it as an intention. To invoke healers on others, open your heart to others, and send unconditional love and compassion to them. Focus your attention on healing, not on the problem. Then say a prayer.
"Divine Mother God, Father God and all healing forces of the Universe restore me to balance in body, mind, and spirit. Remove everything from my consciousness and body that isn't in perfect alignment with your loving plan for me. I give my permission and cooperation to all healing forces of Divine and loving nature to serve my well being. Amen."
Healer guides respond immediately to prayers. We don't ask for help from healer guides enough.
Teacher Guides
Teacher guides work on high frequencies, help us discover purpose in life, and they show us the lessons we need to learn in life. Teacher guides help us understand our nature as true spiritual beings. Don't care for our day to day concerns, want us to understand the spiritual nature of life, and to use our gifts to serve humanity. They grow our capacity to love and serve. They help us to expand our heart and consciousness. Work with us during a lifetime. Give us access to the right insights. Keep you aligned with your soul's desire. Teach you that you are spirit.
Commonly invoked when life is in crisis and you need to change what you are doing. They show up when you are ready to reexamine how you live your life. Some people have master teachers such as Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha, and Mohammed.
Helpers make mundane life flow more easily. Teacher guides work on deeper issues, like your purpose, inner peace, and aligning to your spiritual path. We all seek meaning, direction, and have an innate desire to serve the planet. Teacher guides are here to help you do that and to grow your soul.
Ask your teacher guides to reveal themselves then ask:
What am I to learn right now?
How can you best help me to do so?
What am I hiding from?
What is the message in this struggle?
What am I afraid of?
Listen and if you are able to respond aloud let your heart speak. Teacher guides will only give suggestions not ultimatums. If you're stuck on something or need to learn something, ask your teacher guides for help then sleep on it.
Animal Guides
Animal guides are a part of the teaching network of guides: teach us how to lighten up laugh and play, bring us wisdom and skills to survive, morph and adapt to situations, known for loyalty and their ability to love unconditionally, they have a grounded detachment, they bring us back to what is important in a situation.
They exist in our lives, communicate directly (pets, birds you feed), appear in dreams, act as gateways to access their power. We all have our own animal guides, our guides may change through our life..
Use your imagination to get in touch with your animal guides
Relax in a comfortable place
Close your eyes and imagine going into an isolated spot in nature like a cave, under a big tree, a meadow
Enjoy the peaceful surroundings you have envisioned
Ask for your animal guide to appear to you
Trust what animal appears and how it chooses to communicate, you might hear, feel or sense your guide
Speak the name of your guide to make the connection, thank the animal and ask to receive a sign that this is your guide as confirmation.
After connecting with your guide get a symbol of your guide
Animal guides help reclaim lost pieces of our soul, can activate our creativity, our vision, and strength, and activate our intuition. Teach us to communicate energetically.
Joy Guides: ‘Kid” spirits, their job is to keep your joy alive, show up to make you laugh, when you are taking yourself too seriously, they hide things then you notice the object is right in front of your face. Keep your heart soft, bless your life, help you act loving, take you back to your true nature. Help you bring joy into the life of others, sudden urge to be generous, or give someone a compliment, it's a joy guide influencing you.
They appear when your ego gets the best of you, they are like comic relief to heated arguments. Make you giggle, laugh, forget your troubles, and enjoy life.
Use your pets, babies, or children to do something silly. Bless your life and keep your heart soft. Keep your inner child alive
Ask them for presents, write it down when you receive them, it's important to acknowledge and thank joy guides.
Light Beings: never had earthly experiences, Brotherhood of White light, Palatians. Help bring light to your "being", help you be more loving, more forgiving, more present. They work with human consciousness as a group. Areas like helping the planet, growing trees, world peace, climate change, pollution (water and land). Help get us out of our ego and become more responsible and sensitive to the universal agenda. Want to raise our collective consciousness.
Call them to help you activate your desire to serve and to help you take action. Call when you feel demoralized about life's conditions so you don't despair. When you feel fear, anger, judgment, hopelessness. They inspire you to be a member of the human race who brings more peace, confidence, and love. Raise the vibration of the earth to bring greater balance. Help us purge old negative patterns. To call on them open your heart and let them into your vibration
Discriminate Between Which Spirit Guides You Let In
Just like you don't invite strangers into your home, you must invite positive spirit guides in your life. Most guides are high vibration beings but there are some who are lost and confused and just want to entertain themselves at your expense.
High Vibration Guides: patience, calm, subtle, loving, don't tell you what to do, come on request, leave you peaceful and supportive
Low Vibration Entities: pushy bossy, negative, cause self-doubt, try to control you, flatter you, criticize others
Encourage you to be a victim, ask to isolate yourself, love to start arguments, grow if you focus on them
Come when you are neglecting your health, or not caring for yourself, not sleeping enough, pushing yourself too hard, in really negative environments
Clear low vibration entities: By laughing. Say "Into the light, go away". They have no power without your attention.
Epsom salt bath, flower essences, incense, candles, chimes, and ringing bells, prayer. Physical activity, going in nature, playing with pets. Don't get attached to an entity.
Guides send people in your life to bring you a message when you are closed off emotionally etc. It's common for other guides to use people in your life to send you messages
We all help each other move to a higher vibration, (guides, others guides, and humans)
We all regularly receive guidance; we just aren't used to recognizing it as guidance.
The more you see guidance the more you attract it, the more you attract it, the more it comes.
How Spirits Speak
Use riddles, jokes, metaphors, symbols, scents, music, and dreams
Life becomes filled with potential messages. As you learn to see them you will start to learn from and enjoy the messages you receive
Knowing the names for your guides makes the connection more personal
When you ask your guide "How should I address you?" take what your imagination gives you
You have to use your own judgment to decide if you want to follow your guide's suggestion or not. They can't do things or change anything for you
They offer clues and direction to steer you toward personal growth
If you act lazy and avoid all responsibility you will only attract low-level guides that will further complicate things
You control what kind of guidance you receive when you set your intention for the help you want.
Just because a person has crossed over it doesn't automatically make them any more enlightened.
If you shout "help" in a room of 60 people, 10 may come your way but those 10 might not have the specific skills to solve your problem.
Your intention determines the kind of guidance you bring into your life.
4 Questions to Determine if the Guidance is Worthwhile
Is the guidance grounded and non-threatening to all involved
Does guidance feel gentle and loving?
Does it consider everyone involved?
Does it help me without harming others
If you can't answer "yes" to all then the guidance is not worth considering and it's coming from a low-level source.
Example:
"Is it time to end a relationship?" If your guidance says yes then it's time to separate.
It might affect a person's ego, but it will be good on a spirit level. Whether it will help our spirits grow is the bottom line if yes then it's great guidance.
Avoid asking "should I", say "show me my best options", keep the self-direction and personal responsibility you need to grow your soul.
How to Work Directly with Your Guides
Inspiration is the most consistent way guides communicate with you.
"Inspiration means to take spirit in"
Think about what inspires you, it will draw more of those things into your life
Spirit Guides are very subtle
Your guides know what the next step is for you and they won't suggest you do something that you aren't capable of doing.
Your higher self is the most important guide you have.
Your other guides are here to strengthen your connection to your higher self so that your higher self can run your life and not your ego
Guides are like messengers and coaches to lead you to your higher self
Your Higher Self is the highest potential in you, your direct source to who you really are
You don't need spirit guides. They are your allies, they offer support, companionship, and fun.
You do need your higher self
The best way to hear your higher self is meditation
Every morning say “higher self take over, move me, move my mind, move my thoughts, move my emotions, And move my body to serve my highest good and the good for all concerned.”
Decide that you want your higher self to lead your life and say so in no uncertain terms
Choosing to let your higher self lead you will give you more freedom than imaginable, allowing you to live an authentic, fearless, and loving life. It is the quickest way to reach your dreams and goals.
Following spiritual guidance is a way of life.
Four Steps To Let More Guidance Into Your Life:
Be open to guidance, have an open heart, and the right frame of mind.
Expect your guides to be there for you, the more you expect it the more you attract it.
Trust the guidance you receive, speak your guidance aloud, and pay attention to how it feels.
Act on your guidance as soon as you receive it.
Thanking your guides helps maintain a strong relationship. They like good music, incense, singing to them, laughing, flowers, shiny things, taking them places, when you are happy and have a positive outlook.
