Many believe that spirit guides are external entities, separate from ourselves, but that’s a misconception. The true connection lies within.
One key indicator of a genuine connection with your spirit guide, versus intellectual fantasy, is how you describe that connection. The ego often portrays spirit guides as something external, something we must strive to reach. But connecting with spirit comes from within. It’s that “gut feeling,” that inner knowing.
We must be attentive because messages from our guides don’t resonate in the mind, but in the heart. Does it feel true? Does your whole being open up? Or does it come through the filter of expectations?
Here’s how to cultivate a deeper connection:
1. Tune into Your Physical Body
Your spirit guides often communicate through signs, symbols, and humor. They don’t rely on lengthy explanations. To receive these messages, you must be present in your physical body. If your mind is constantly dwelling on the past or future, you’ll miss the call.
Consider a client who consistently saw repeating numbers. She was so focused on what they should mean that she missed the intuitive message. Instead of immediately researching their meaning, ask yourself: How does this resonate within my body? What unfolds when I quiet my mind?
Intuition and connecting with your spirit guides ultimately mean trusting your own experience. Tools and resources can offer support and context, but if you automatically defer to them, you’re telling yourself, “I don’t know, and I can’t trust myself.”
So, the next time you notice a repeating number, pause. What does it mean to you? What feelings, words, or nudges arise? Then, consult external resources. This approach builds intuitive knowledge, fosters a connection with your guides, and reinforces confidence in your inner wisdom, allowing your spirit guides to communicate directly, unfiltered.
2. Connect with Your Heart Space
Connecting to the channel of your heart space is essential. The higher your personal vibration, the more readily you connect with the frequency of spirit. Low vibrations, characterized by over-identification with the physical world, negativity, and disconnection, hinder this connection.
Raise your vibration by connecting to what you love, embracing openness and curiosity. These simple actions elevate your frequency, making you more receptive to your spirit guides.
3. Be Present in the Moment
Your intuition and spirit communicate in the present. If you’re stuck in your head, you’ll miss the subtle cues. Nobody is present all the time, but making the space to bring your attention to the present is crucial. Ask yourself: Am I present for guidance? Am I listening? Am I available? Have I noticed the ways my guides are already speaking to me?
For example, while visiting her mother in Paris, the speaker felt disconnected and anxious. While talking to her partner, she looked down and saw a shiny penny on the balcony, a sign that resonated in her heart, assuring her that everything would be okay. Had she not been present, she would have missed it.
Spirit guides don’t come from “out there”; they come through your heart space. The head space channel merely interprets them. The more you inhabit your body, the more present you become, the more available you are for guidance, the more your spirit guides will come and play with you, bringing messages of support.
4. Acknowledge Past Guidance
Ask yourself: In what ways have I already been guided? What synchronicities have already appeared? The more you acknowledge these experiences as true, the more you affirm to your higher self that you trust your spirit guides.
Conclusion
Connecting with your spirit guides is a journey inward. By tuning into your body, connecting with your heart space, practicing presence, and acknowledging past guidance, you can open yourself to receive the wisdom and support they offer. Remember, the connection comes from within; trust your intuition and allow your spirit guides to illuminate your path.
