Many believe that spirit guides exist outside of ourselves, communicating from some distant realm. However, a genuine connection with your spirit guide stems from within. This guide explores how to tap into that inner connection and receive guidance.
The ego often seeks external sources, creating the illusion that spirit guides are something to be reached for. This externalization disconnects you from the internal source of guidance. It’s easy to fall into the trap of believing a connection to a larger-than-life figure makes you special, but true connection comes from within.
When you connect with your spirit and guides, it’s often described as a “gut feeling” or an inner knowing. This intuitive connection doesn’t rely on mental reasoning but resonates within your heart.
Here’s how to truly connect with your spirit guide:
Connecting Through Your Physical Body
Your spirit guides communicate through your physical body, using signs, symbols, and humor. To recognize these messages, you must be present in your physical body.
Being constantly in your head, dwelling on the past or future, will cause you to miss these subtle cues. A clear message from your spirit guide can be missed if you are not present.
Consider someone who repeatedly saw specific numbers but immediately turned to Google or books instead of reflecting on the personal meaning. While external resources can be helpful, relying on them exclusively reinforces the belief that you cannot trust your own intuition.
Instead of immediately seeking external interpretations, take a moment to sit with the sign, number, or symbol. Ask yourself, “What does this mean to me?” What feelings, words, or nudges arise? By consulting your own heart first, you build intuitive knowledge and a connection with your spirit guides unfiltered by external sources.
Connecting Through Your Heart Space
Connecting to your heart space raises your personal vibration, aligning you with the frequency of spirit. Lower vibrations, such as being overly identified with the physical world, negativity, or disconnection, hinder this connection.
Simple ways to raise your vibration include connecting to what you love, practicing openness and curiosity, and opening different energetic channels.
Being Present in the Moment
Your intuition and spirit communicate in the present moment. If you are constantly in your head, you’ll miss the guidance around you. Make space to be present and ask yourself:
- Am I present?
- Am I present for guidance?
- Am I in a place of listening?
- Am I available for guidance?
- Have I noticed the ways my guides are speaking to me?
- Have I given attention to those channels?
For example, finding a penny could be a sign that you are on the right path. However, if you are not present, or immediately discount your own experience by searching for external interpretations, you may miss the message.
Remember, spirit guides communicate through your heart space, not your headspace. The more you are in your body, present, and listening, the more available you will be for guidance. The more guidable you are, the more your spirit guides will offer support and play with you.
Affirming Past Guidance
Reflect on past experiences where you’ve been guided and the synchronicities that have occurred. Affirm these experiences as true. By doing so, you affirm your trust in your spirit guides and your higher self, strengthening the connection.
Embracing the Journey
Connecting with your spirit guide is a journey of self-discovery and trust. It requires presence, an open heart, and a willingness to listen to your inner wisdom. The more you cultivate these qualities, the stronger your connection will become. Embrace the signs, trust your intuition, and allow your spirit guides to support you on your path.
