Updated: Sep 19

In our quest for spiritual growth and understanding, many of us have felt the comforting presence of unseen forces guiding us along our path. These benevolent beings, often referred to as spirit guides, are here to support, protect, and lead us toward our highest potential. But who are spirit guides, and how can we connect with them?

What are spirit guides?

Spirit guides are high vibrational beings that have chosen or been assigned to work with you and guide you along your path to becoming the best version of you. They are not bound by the limitations of the physical world and operate from a place of unconditional love and wisdom. These guides can take many forms, including ancestors or passed loved ones, animals or plants, beings from past lives or other dimensions, extraterrestrials or galactic family members, “mythical” beings or the fae, angels or archangels, or ascended masters. Each guide has a unique energy and purpose, tailored to assist you on your individual journey.

Spirit guides are here to help you navigate the challenges of life, offering insight, healing, and protection. They can:


  • Provide Guidance: Whether you’re at a crossroads in your life or need clarity on a specific issue, your guides can offer the wisdom you need to make empowered decisions.

  • Offer Protection: Spirit guides often act as protectors, shielding you from negative energies or guiding you away from harmful situations.

  • Facilitate Healing: By working with your guides, you can tap into deep layers of healing, both physically and emotionally. They can help you release old wounds and embrace new beginnings. I always call my own guides and the client’s guides in during reiki sessions to aid in holding a safe, sacred space for healing.

  • Enhance Spiritual Growth: Your guides are committed to your spiritual evolution. They can help you develop your intuition, expand your consciousness, and deepen your connection to the divine.


How to Connect with Your Spirit Guides

Connecting with your spirit guides is easier than you think, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. However, here are some methods than can help you establish a stronger connection:

  1. Meditation: Quieting the mind through meditation is one of the most effective ways to tune into the presence of your guides. Set aside time to sit in stillness and open yourself to their energy.

  2. Set Intentions: Before you go to sleep or during your meditation, set a clear intention to connect with your spirit guides. You can ask for guidance on a specific issue or simply invite them to reveal themselves to you.

  3. Use Divination: Tarot or Oracle cards, pendulums, runes, or other divination tools can be powerful allies in communicating with your spirit guides. These tools can help you interpret the messages your guides are sending.

  4. Journaling: Keep a journal dedicated to your spiritual journey. Write down any signs, symbols, or messages you receive during meditation or in your daily life. Over time, you may notice patterns or recurring themes that reveal your guides' presence.

  5. Pay Attention to Signs: Spirit guides often communicate through symbols, synchronicities, or other people. Pay attention to recurring numbers, feathers, songs, or dreams that seem to carry a special significance. If it feels like a sign, then it's a sign!

Trusting the Process

Building a relationship with your spirit guides requires patience, trust, and an open mind and heart. It's important to remember that your guides are always with you, even if you're not consciously aware of their presence. Trust that they are working behind the scenes, helping you align with your highest good.


Embrace their presence and allow them to lead you toward your truest self.
