What is a spirit guide part 2
Spirit guides are these cool beings following us around, making sure we stay safe and happy.
Now, I may not know everything there’s to know about spirit guides but I do know that they only want the best for you.
The best thing about spirit guides is that they always try to send us signals.
My spirit guides often talk to me with numbers.
When I first started experiencing the supernatural, I started seeing Angel numbers everywhere. To this day, whenever I’m doing work that’s moving me along the right path for my soul, I keep seeing the same numbers!
The problem is, we can’t always see or hear the clues and hints they’re sending.
I sometimes too wish they were a bit more direct – I don’t know, a massive STOP warning sign that drops out of nowhere before I make a bad move seems direct enough to me!
But nope, that’s not how it works.
The signs spirit guides send are so subtle, that if you’re not used to watching out for them, you can completely miss out on them.
What’s even more, asking for guidance directly is a mission impossible for most people. I bet it just feels like talking to air, huh?
However, today I want to show you that it is POSSIBLE to talk to your spirit guides and there are ways to ask for guidance when you need it the most, and I’m going to show you a few ways how to do exactly that.
My name’s Bernadette Balla and thank you for listening today – let’s get started!
[h2] How do we know if there are spirit guides around us?
First things first – in order to be able to talk to your spirit guides, we first have to be comfortable around their presence and BELIEVE that they’re around us.
Here’s something for you to think about.
Go back to the time when you were five or six. Remember how everything seemed possible back then – and you didn’t struggle to believe in something out of this world, something magical?
Well, those are the beliefs and feelings you’re going to have to recreate to start sensing higher guidance.
I’m not saying you should fool yourself, I’m saying you should find ways to raise your vibrational energy. This is crucial so you can hear your guides, okay?
You can enter that high vibrational mood with a variety of different things. You can start coloring, or wear brighter (more childish) colors, or watch cartoons, or jump on a trampoline, or buy a paddle pool, I don’t know, whatever works for you… anything that makes you feel like the child who believed everything is possible.
If you think about it, it’s pretty impossible to hear from someone we don’t believe in, right?
When I was much younger around 5, I had an imaginary friend named Ava. Actually, my mom called her imaginary, I was convinced she was real.
Now, Ava wasn’t the typical imaginary friend you’d expect a five-year-old to have. She was in her 70s, had silky white hair but was always down for a tea party with me and my tea cup set.
As much as I loved having tea parties with Ava, I loved her the most for the way she was able to comfort me.
I’ve already talked about the fact I’ve had a difficult upbringing… my dad wasn’t exactly the best dad on the planet, to say the least, and he’d often end up coming home drunk.
It was during those drunken nights that I really appreciated Ava being near me.
Your gang of spirit guides – some of them come and go, or at least that’s how I see things, so don’t be too surprised if you sense different beings at different times.
Their energy is different too.
Let’s say, if one of the spirit guides is here to help you learn forgiveness, their energy’s going to feel different than the spirit guy who’s here to help you learn to stand your ground. It’s like having friends with different personalities – not all of your friends are the same, right?
As soon as I’d learn a lesson, they’d depart. At one point, I even had a great-great father following me around (well, it was his soul really), helping me detach from unhealthy family patterns that started back with him.
I’m telling you this so you don’t freak out if you sense different beings and different energies around you. It’s all good, they all mean well.
Now, I do believe SOME of our spirit guides are assigned to us on birth – and they follow us through our whole life.
Usually, it’d be easier for you to connect to your so-called core group of spirit guides, simply because you’re more used to their presence.
Every time I was stepping closer to the life I’m meant to be living – bam, the warm feeling in my chest. Every time I was stepping away from it – nothing, gone!
Basically, my spirit guides used my own body and my own dreams to signal me and over time, I learned to listen.
Some spirit guides have talked to me – and announced their presence – by giving me goosebumps or chills.
I’ve seen a lot of people that acknowledge sudden chills as a way for a higher being to signal their presence. So if you attempt to talk to some of your spirit guides and you notice the chills or the goosebumps, know someone’s here to listen and help.
The one way I love reaching out to my spirit guides is during astral projection. That’s why I’m so obsessed with the world of dreams!
Free from the limitations of the physical world as we know it, I didn’t only get a chance to find the right path for me and my soul, I got to explore the meaning of life in a way I’d never thought possible.
If astral travels are just too freakish for you, you can try other methods to connect with your guides.
One of my followers recently shared with me that she really loves using the method of active imagination and journaling to connect with her guides. First she meditates, and then once she enters the subconscious, she starts writing questions and answers. And boy oh boy, the things she’s found out so far just by doing this – it’s incredible!
Another follower revealed that she has the habit of asking questions. No special preparation, no anything… whenever she feels she’s in the right mood (whenever her energy’s high and her mind’s clear), she asks questions.
For example, she asks what she needs to do today to grow her business or what does she need to learn so she can find her path, and then waits for the answers.
