Connecting with Spirit Guides: A Guide to Receiving Their Guidance and Support

Meeting and being connected to your guides brings invaluable guidance on your spiritual path, support, and protection, as well as a deeper understanding of yourself and your place beyond this reality. Personally, I’ve experienced this connection through meditation and a quantum hypnosis session. I’ve encountered three of my angels: one who aids in wisdom and knowledge, another who acts as a spiritual warrior, and a female angel with whom I’m still building a connection. Additionally, I’ve met my Astral family and hold a deep connection with Jesus Christ and Freya - All of these beings together make up my Wisdom Team or Energetic Team. As we explore the nature of spirit guides, be mindful of any subtle nudges or signs you might receive—they could be messages from your own guides. Make sure to note these in your journal. Let’s now delve into what spirit guides are and how they can support you.

To ensure this connection with your guides, we must approach this with mindfulness and intention. By following some guidelines I've created for the newbie intuitive seeker, we can build a strong, and supportive relationship with your guides. Here are some key Do’s and Don'ts to keep in mind as you begin this journey.

DO -

1. Call on Your Guides - They respect your free will and need you to call them forward when you need them.

2. Set clear Intentions - When calling them in for support, keep your one pointed focus and be direct.

3. Practice Patience - Be open and pay attention to the subtleties.

4. Create a Sacred Space - Create a space where you feel calm and can focus without distraction.

5. Express Gratitude - Thank your guides even if you dont recieve immediate answers. Gratitude strengthens connection.

DONT -

1. Dont Ignore the Subtle Signs - Stay Aware

2. Dont Rush the Process - Connection to the energetic side happens the way it is meant to, in due time.

3. Dont Disregard your Wellbeing - A balanced state of living is crucial for clear communication.

To support you in this process of connecting to your guides, I’m sharing a prayer and meditation designed to help you invite and establish a clear connection with your guides. As you engage in these practices, remain open and receptive, as a guide or angel may come through to offer their presence and wisdom.

Let’s begin with a prayer to invite your guides and angels, followed by a meditation to receive a meaningful symbol from them.

Prayer for Connecting with Spirit Guides

“Divine Spirit Guides,

I come to you with an open heart and a humble spirit,

Seeking your guidance and wisdom.

Please walk with me on my journey,

And reveal the paths I need to take.

Help me to see with clarity,

Hear with understanding,

And feel your presence in my life.

May your benevolent light surround me,

Protecting me from all harm,

And leading me toward truth and love.

I am grateful for your unwavering support,

And trust in the messages you bring.

Guide me, teach me, and be with me,

As I navigate the challenges and joys of this life.

Thank you, Spirit Guides, for your endless love and care.

Amen."

Meditation for Receiving a Symbol from Your Spirit Guides

Find a Comfortable Position:

Sit or lie down in a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, inhaling peace and exhaling any tension.

Ground Yourself:

Visualize roots growing from your body, anchoring you deeply around the core of the earth. Feel the connection to the ground beneath you, providing stability and security.

Set Your Intention:

Silently or aloud, say: “I invite my spirit guides to connect with me now. Please show me a symbol that I will recognize as a message from you during my daily life. Thank you. Show me.”

Enter a State of Calm:

Focus on your breath, letting each inhale and exhale relax you further. Allow your mind to clear, becoming open to whatever images, thoughts, or feelings may arise.

Visualize a Safe Space:

Picture yourself in a peaceful, serene environment—somewhere not quite here, but not quite there. A familiar place to you. Feel the tranquility of this place surrounding you.

Invite Your Spirit Guides:

Imagine a warm, glowing light entering your safe space. This light represents the presence of your spirit guides. Feel their loving and protective energy surrounding you.

Ask for the Symbol:

In your mind or out loud, ask your spirit guides to show you a symbol that will serve as their sign to you in your daily life. Be open to whatever comes to you—this could be an image, word, shape, or even a feeling.

Receive the Symbol:

Remain in this receptive state for a few minutes, allowing the symbol to appear. It may come as a clear image, a series of images, or even a strong impression of something. Trust whatever you receive.

Acknowledge the Symbol:

Once the symbol becomes clear, thank your guides for their message. Affirm that you will recognize and trust this symbol when you encounter it in the future.

Return to Awareness:

Slowly bring your awareness back to your surroundings. Wiggle your fingers and toes, and when you feel ready, open your eyes.

Reflect:

Take a moment to journal or mentally note the symbol you received. This will help you remember and recognize it when you see it in the future.

Now that you have the tools for connecting with your spirit guides, let’s delve into understanding what they are and how they can assist you. As you learn about spirit guides, stay attentive to any subtle nudges or messages that might arise. These could be signs from your guides, so be sure to note them in your journal. Let’s explore the roles and forms of spirit guides and how they can support your journey.

Spirit guides are non-physical beings or energies that assist and support you on your spiritual journey. They can take various forms, such as ancestors, angels, animal spirits, or even deities, each offering unique wisdom, protection, and guidance tailored to your personal growth. These guides are deeply connected to your soul’s purpose and provide insight, clarity, and comfort as you navigate life’s challenges and opportunities. Though often unseen, their presence can be felt through intuitive nudges, dreams, synchronicities, and other subtle signs.

Understanding the various types of spirit guides can help you recognize their presence and the specific ways they might assist you. Let’s explore the different types of spirit guides that you may encounter on your journey.

Spirit Guide Types

Ancestral - Provides wisdom from family lineage.

Animal - Offer their traits and strengths to  guide and protect.

Higher Self - Representing the purest form of your consciousness.

Ascended Master / Teacher - Enlightened beings who have once lived on Earth and now assist in spiritual growth.

Deities / Ancient Entities - Revered for their wisdom, strength, and their specific qualities they impart.
