Who are Spirit Guides?

Your Cheerleaders, Your Entourage, Your Crew

​​

As you embark on your spiritual journey, you might hear others mentioning "guides" or "spirit guides." When I first encountered this concept, I thought, "This sounds amazing! How do I get one of those?" It took some time for me to accept that we are all supported by a team of souls, energies, and entities. Initially, I didn’t "feel" their presence. However, as I developed a meditation practice, I began to sense an ever-present, supportive energy providing guidance. What a gift we have, yet many of us remain unaware of it for so long!

​

So, what exactly is a spirit guide? A spirit guide is a non-physical being or entity that serves as a supportive and guiding presence on your spiritual journey. They offer wisdom, protection, and assistance from the spiritual realm, acting as mentors and allies to help you navigate life's challenges, fulfill your purpose, and evolve on a soul level.

​

Here are a few things to know about spirit guides:
 

1. They are Non-Physical Beings: Spirit guides are typically thought to exist in the non-physical realm, meaning they do not have physical bodies like humans. Instead, they may be entities such as angels, ascended masters, ancestors, or other benevolent beings that have chosen to support and guide you from a higher plane of existence.
    

2. They are Your Personal Team: Each person is believed to have several spirit guides who are uniquely attuned to your needs, personality, and spiritual path. These guides may have been with you since birth or may be called upon at various stages of life to offer you guidance and support. Many people who've experienced spirit guides, however, believe that you have at least one who is your constant and stays with you throughout your entire life on earth. 
    

3. They have Roles and Specialties: Spirit guides can fulfill different roles and have diverse specialties based on their unique abilities and areas of expertise. Some guides may specialize in providing you with emotional healing and support, while others may offer you wisdom and guidance related to specific life lessons, talents, or spiritual gifts.
    

4. They are Working Hard to Communicate with You: Your spirit guides are actively trying to communicate with you through various means - anything to get your attention really - including through your intuition, your dreams, in daily synchronicities, and with subtle signs and symbols in everyday life. They may also communicate with you during meditation, prayer, or other spiritual practices, offering you insights, guidance, and encouragement. All you need to do is be willing and open to receiving their messages!
    

5. They Offer You Protection and Assistance: Spirit guides are believed to offer protection and assistance to you in your times of need, helping to steer you away from harm and guiding you towards opportunities for growth and fulfillment. It is believed that when you ask for help, they are more than willing and able to jump in and support you. They may also intervene in situations where divine intervention is warranted.
    

6. They Respect Your Free Will: Spirit guides honor the principle of free will and will not interfere with your choices or decisions unless they have been invited to do so. They respect the autonomy and sovereignty of each soul while offering loving guidance and support along the journey of self-discovery and spiritual evolution.
    

Overall, spirit guides are seen as benevolent and loving allies who are dedicated to supporting individuals in their quest for spiritual growth, self-awareness, and enlightenment. Developing a relationship with one's spirit guides can deepen one's connection to the spiritual realm and provide invaluable assistance on the path to wholeness and fulfillment.
