What Are Spirit Guides?
spiritual reality

Spirit Guides are - one or more spirit entities of a higher vibration who are with us throughout our human existence to assist, guide, teach and heal us on our physical journey into Spiritual Awareness. These Guides may change throughout our lifetime depending on our life experiences and spiritual growth. Spirit guides are thought to be souls or spirits that have lived many lifetimes in human form and have gained much wisdom, they are usually someone we have had a physical past life with and this will usually be the form they show themselves to us in.  A lot of people see their Spirit Guides as Monks, Indian Chiefs, Chinese Doctors etc.  Our Spirit Guides do truly love us and would never do anything to harm us in any way. Even though we may not consciously be aware of it at this time, we already know them. We chose them to help us on our journey before we were even born into physical form and they agreed to guide us.

According to Doreen Virtue’s book ‘Healing with the Fairies’, some of us have Elementals as our Spirit Guides.  Elementals are Spirit Guides to other Elementals who have incarnated into human form to be a better help in their purpose of protecting the environment and healing the earth.  They will have life purposes in their human form of helping the environment, animals or plants.    

Our Spirit Guides will not make our decisions for us, but they will guide us in the right direction for the highest good of our spiritual evolvement.  This guidance may come in many forms.  Some people physically hear messages, others see visions warning them of danger etc.  You may repeatedly hear a song where the words are your guidance or the perfect book for your situation may fall off a shelf or be given to you as a gift out of the blue. Our Spirit Guides are responsible for creating the synchronicities in our life which we often regard as coincidences.  When we start to take notice of this spiritual guidance, we become aware of just how regularly we are receiving signs from our Guides and Angels.
We can have conscious communication with our Spirit Guides by becoming more spiritually aware, learning to channel and practicing our clairvoyance and clairaudience.  Psychic tools such as Pendulums are used for direct communication with Spirit Guides.

Our Spirit Guides understand that this is our journey and we must make your own choices in this life. They will always be there to offer guidance but they will never insist that we take it.  The best thing we can do is tune into our Spirit Guides and let them enhance our life.
