Many believe that spirit guides are external entities, separate from ourselves. However, a genuine connection with your spirit guide stems from within. This article explores how to tap into that inner wisdom and foster a strong relationship with your guides.
The ego often portrays spirit guides as distant figures, requiring effort to reach. This separation reinforces the idea that guidance comes from outside. Connecting to figures like Mother Mary or Buddha can feel special, yet the true connection resides within.
When connecting with your spirit and guides, the call originates from within. It’s that gut feeling, that intuitive nudge, signaling a guide’s presence. The key is to discern whether these messages resonate in your heart or merely echo through the expectations in your mind.
Here are practical steps to connecting with your spirit guide:
Connect Through Your Physical Body
Your spirit guides communicate through your physical being using signs and symbols, often infused with humor. To decipher these messages, you must be present in your body. Being stuck in your head, dwelling on the past or future, will cause you to miss these subtle cues.
Consider a client who repeatedly saw the same numbers. Instead of immediately researching their meaning, she needed to pause and sense how they resonated within her. Jumping to Google affirmed a lack of self-trust, placing authority outside herself.
Before seeking external interpretations, take a moment to sit with the sign. What does it mean to you? What feelings, words, or nudges arise? Allow your own intuition to speak first. Consulting external resources later can add context, but your personal experience is paramount. This process builds your intuitive knowledge, strengthens your connection with your guides, and fosters confidence in your inner wisdom.
Open the Channel of Your Heart Space
Connecting with your spirit guides requires raising your vibration and aligning with the frequency of spirit. Low vibrations, stemming from over-identification with the physical world, negativity, or disconnection, hinder communication.
Connect to your heart space by embracing what you love, cultivating curiosity, and opening yourself to new experiences. These simple acts elevate your vibration, making you more receptive to guidance from your spirit guides.
Be Present in the Moment
Your intuition and spirit communicate in the present moment. If you’re trapped in your thoughts, you’ll miss the messages, no matter how obvious they may be.
While constant presence is unrealistic, consciously create space to listen and observe. Are you available for guidance? Have you noticed the different ways your guides might be communicating with you? Have you acknowledged those subtle signals?
For example, while in Paris, feeling disconnected, a shiny penny appeared on the balcony. This resonated deeply, reassuring her that everything would be alright. Had she not been present, or had she immediately dismissed the penny, she would have missed this comforting message.
Spirit guides communicate through your heart, not just your head. Being present, embodied, and receptive makes you more guidable, inviting your spirit guides to connect and support you.
Affirm Your Past Guidance
Recognize and acknowledge instances where you’ve already received guidance. What synchronicities have appeared in your life? Affirm these experiences as valid, reinforcing your trust in your spirit guides. The more you acknowledge these experiences as true, the more you signal to your higher self that you trust your guides, paving the way for future communication.
Conclusion
Connecting with your spirit guide is a journey inward. By tuning into your physical body, opening your heart, embracing the present moment, and acknowledging past guidance, you can cultivate a strong and meaningful relationship with your guides and unlock the wisdom within.
