An enlightening book that reminds you that you are not alone in this world, or beyond. There are spiritual guides to help you. Having grown up as a Hindu, the spiritual guides reminded me of Hindu gods and goddesses. This is a philosophy that is rarely talked about in the west....so I applaud Choquette for writing about this.

I really like the idea of this book, but I found it too much about her personal experiences and after a while I started to think this is just crazy. I mean fairies, water fairies, air fairies, the fairies that find your missing keys; It just became silly after a while. It was not a book I can credit for adding anything to my spitituality, it was interesting, but not life changing.

One of the 'perfect' books to read that you may appreciate the simplicity of connecting with your Guides and Archangels. Enjoy the read, you'll love it. Guaranteed ♥

How many times have you had that little nagging feeling about something and ignored it only to regret it later? Too many times to count? Me too...
I'm not sure why we tend to ignore our intuition. We know that each time we do, we're going to end up unhappy. I guess following our intuition seems like such a big leap of faith, especially when the actions seem to push us towards being honestly ourselves and following our bliss. The thought of being completely happy, the ability to trust our inner guidance, and the understanding that intuition is actually a form of divine guidance may be difficult to fully accept.
Ask Your Guides helps makes the transition a lot easier. From a very young age, the author learned to nurture her intuition and welcome divine guidance in all its forms. Not only has she learned to listen to that little voice but she has become proactive in seeking out appropriate resources that guide and help smooth the bumps of daily life. Ask Your Guides shows the reader how they too can learn these skills.

I consider myself a spiritual person but this book was alienating in a few ways:
It completely ignores how systematic oppression plays a very important role on people's life choices and spiritual lives.
There were a few paragraphs sprinkled throughout that were racist and tone deaf. Speaking of native American or aboriginal peoples as spirits from the past or helpers is such a toxic rhetoric from the American new age scene that needs to be checked and talked about as needed.
There were so many types of spirits, guides, and angels that in the end I lost track who to call for what, so maybe just stick to your Higher Self as a case manager and hopefully they can hook you up with the right guide.
As someone who uses herbs for astro magic or psychic / spiritual cleansing, the elemental guides made much more sense.
There were too many stories, it felt like an infomercial.
Lastly, if you check this book from your local library, cleanse it before bringing it to your space - other people's energy and spirits can travel through objects!

This book was so meaningful to me. I read this at a time when I was lost and really needed something in my life to help me feel that there was something more out there. The style of writing really spoke to me and it drew me in so readily and I was drawn to the very real world way in which Sonia spoke. The message wasn't overly "Religious" yet spoke to the very spiritual nature in me which was crying out to be massaged with a little love and reminder that it was all going to be okay.

This book is amazing, I am going to be buying it as soon as I can!

One of my new favorite books. Choquette is down-to-earth and matter-of-fact and encouraging.
July 23, 2015
This is the first book I´ve read by Sonia Choquette, and it will hopefully not be the last.
It is written simply and clearly and is easy-to-read. Sonia tells us of her own guides and experiences with them and those of her clients.
Sonia was lucky to be born to a mother who talked to her guides constantly and informed her of the many guides who were assigned to watch over, help, protect, and teach her throughout her lifetime.
The first important thing to do is leave a free period of perhaps 20 minutes open every week, and perhaps later every day, where you answer to no-one but yourself. During this time you should allow yourself to pursue a beloved interest such as playing the piano, spending time in the garden, or simply daydreaming. When you do this, your spirit will guide you to more and more of what nurtures and feeds you.
There´s a chapter about guardian angels – our personal bodyguards, and how we should talk out loud to them when we can and ask them to do various things for us.
We´re told how to invoke the Archangels by chanting their names in a songlike manner. Sonia tells us about the seven Archangels – Michael, Gabriel, Raphael, Uriel, Raguel, Sariel, and Remiel (though actually I have heard elsewhere that there are more).
Michael, archangel number one, is the patron of protection and love. Gabriel, No, 2, calms your doubts and boosts your confidence, Raphael is in charge of healing and also inspires your creativity. Uriel has a grounded vibration, is the messenger that brings warnings, and is the patron of music. Raguel is a sort of police officer, and can help you to get your children to behave! Sariel keeps things in order, and Remiel is the angel of hope, and also greets us at death´s door and escorts us to heaven. When he shows up, “the vibrations of fear, stress and drams that come with facing death give way to absolute peace and calm”.
We may call for help on the Ministry of Angels, which has infinite departments, such as parking, computers, shopping, healing and so forth. We can put them on whatever assignment we undertake. Just believe and call for help.
We can call on our spirit guides when we need them. They can´t serve us without our permission. Most have lived at least one life on Earth; Sonia tells us that people generally have access to up to 33 guides at any given time!
A good way of connecting to our guides is writing to them at a specific quiet time of your day. State your problem and ask for guidance.
This book contains many exciting chapters. A “negative” feature of it for me was the apparently infinite numbers of guides and angels of various sorts available, so I have difficulty in distinguishing between them.
We are introduced to the various types of nature spirits and a group of spirit guides known as “runners”. I´d never heard of the latter before, but they are “handy guides for all situations”, and the first ones you may want to invoke for help.
Sonia recounts various stories of how she and others are helped in miraculous ways by these runners. They find lost things, save seats in planes, and turn up parking spaces, etc. It´s important to thank your runners.
There are helpers, healer guides, teacher guides, animal guides, joy guides and light beings.
We also learn about contacting our guides through oracles, such as tarot cards. We must not repeat. a question just because we didn´t like the first answer. If we´re spiritually immature and don´t take the answers we get seriously, the cards will be “possessed by low-level energies that mock you”.
Different oracles tend to attract different types of guides.
There is an important chapter about negative entities. You may pick these up in a public place, or if you have a weak aura owing to addiction of any sort. High-vibration guides are calm and loving and don´t tell you what to do. Low-vibration guides are pushy, bossy and negative and harass you into doing what they want, Really, they have no power, and can be easily dismissed by firmly asking them to leave and sending them into the light.
I have been trying to connect with my guides for years with no success, but after reading this delightful book, I feel much more confident about linking to my guides and angels. Now I´ve met with a hermit-like guide who wears a hood and says his name is “Eremit” (a Danish word for “hermit”) – I´m a bit of a hermit, myself. Also, when giving a Reiki healing, I contacted a healing guide called Michael, who advised me to flow water through the four bodies (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) of the person I was healing. I had never ever done this before, and would never have thought of it, so I know I must have had contact with a guide.
Even before I had read this book, I had often had help from angels on journeys, for instance, when I´d asked them to accompany me on these. Also, I´m frequently assisted by may “household deva” It has helped me with opening difficult tins and packages, coconuts, etc; sometimes I have struggled for an hour or so, before asking for help, whereupon the matter is solved instantly.
Also, I am assisted by a computer deva or devas, sometimes with miraculous results. Once I worked for hours to change the picture on my computer screen, following various sets of complicated instructions which never worked, until exasperation set in, and I shouted for help. Then I suddenly saw a link that said “change computer screen”, or the like, and pressed it, whereupon my screen changed to the desired picture, which I still have.
But, as regards this book, it is easy-to read, inspiring, and will help you, above all, trust and know that you have not only access to the angels, but all these various helping guides. I now KNOW that I have guides and can alwys get help.
I absolutely recommend that you purchase this book, You will not regret it. I will now be ordering other books by this inspiring author.

I am only a little way in to this book, but I'm liking it. It is not for the woo-woo averse, as it does talk about angels, etc.
What I'm liking about it is that she starts out by saying that to get in touch with the spirit world, you have to first get in touch with your own spirit - by doing the things your spirit loves, the things that make you feel happy and playful and light and good. (Because that lighter/higher vibration gets you on a closer plane to spirit entities.) Just reading this I felt affirmed in a couple of things that I enjoy but don't let myself do because it seems 'silly' or are 'pointless'. Or I do them but I don't let myself enjoy them. Somehow saying 'this is what my spirit likes to do' makes it a little less personal too. As in: heck, it's silly, but you know those spirits...who knows why they like things? It lets me get out of judgment. I'm really used to judging myself, but I wouldn't want to judge my *spirit*. It's just a mental trick but it helped free up some lightness inside me.
Update: I didn't really finish the book...I got stuck on the chapter that said that she asked her angels to help her and they fixed her car. I couldn't get past the physicality of that. Hmmm. An angel with a wrench?

As I continue on my journey into exploring spirituality, I stumbled across Sonia Choquette's book Ask Your Guides. If you've ever been curious about angles and guides, this book is a great introduction. Sonia believes that each of us has a whole host of angles and guides ready and willing to help us out if we knew to ask. Parts of the book resonated with me and there were parts that I just couldn't get into, hence the middle of the road rating.
Sonia provides many examples of how guides have helped in her own life and stories she's heard from friends and clients. Naturally, I had to give some of the suggestions a try. I used the advice on how to find a parking spot several times with no trouble finding ones, even at busy times and in locations I've never been before. Coincidence? I don't think so. Was it guides helping or did I somehow tap into the unified field of potential? I'm not sure. Either way I plan to keep experimenting and see what happens.

So... this is a book that's actually kind of hard for me to rate. It has some good information in it, but really I have a hard time giving it more than 3 stars. Maybe it's because I had some issues with the way she talked about intellectualizing things as being a bad thing, when really it sounds more like she is trying to simplify ego by calling it intellectualizing. It's not bad, it's just that not everything with in the book rang true for me. Really a lot of Choquette's big hit-home messages in this book really made a few things click. I have really found with a lot of the books in the spiritual genre, it's about finding the things that resinate with you, taking those, integrating them into your practice, and then letting the other stuff that doesn't ring true serve as background noise that you don't really take in. This book is no different in that respect. Some parts were amazing, and some just didn't feel right to me. That being said, I would strongly recommend this book for anyone wanting to work with guides and/or channeled entities as it serves for a really great stepping stone, especially for those just being introduced to the subject matter.
As I actually listened to the audible version of this one, I kinda feel like I need to go back though and give it another listen.

Listened to the audio version every a.m. on my way to work and it truely centered and calmed me, helped me to think differently about guides and even notice little "signs." Liek anything, it takes practice to find and connect with your guides and I've been working on my creative green guide, Meadow. She comforts and inspires me like a walk in nature. Sonia's stories sometimes seem a bit far-fetched, but maybe that's my 5th sensory mind talking!

I so enjoyed this book. Its time for people to start believing in more than the physical world.
I personally know a lot of people all over the world that read Sonia's books and many like hers. She has a unique and sweet way she presents herself to others. She is genuine and knows who she is. When we learn who our guides are we learn how strong of beings we really are and that we are always protected and guided. We can be guided by our soul and our guides if we just allow it.

This is the first book on the subject of spirit guides that I have ever read. I was surprised at the detail. I didn’t expect there to be so many different levels and types of guides, and as a socially introverted person it kind of overwhelmed me. That’s too many guides! I can’t have that many at once! One spirit guide is good for me— 3, tops. I can’t handle spirit crowds. Interesting book, though. Lots to think about and try.

Good book
Pretty dope. I've had this book for a year at least and while I've been skeptical I finally finished today , after stopping and starting again. Detailed and helped me out for a bit, the second half was what really helped me especially when talking about higher self and the ego mind.

Most people "suffer from mental constipation and Psychic anorexia: Feeding the mind way too much information and not feeding your spirit enough"
What feeds your soul? Activity to do for 3 mins every day for 30 days. These are the things that come up that will feed your spirit. Ask yourself, and say, OUTLOUD, "If I weren't afraid...." For 30 days do one of the things that comes out of your mouth. Even if it’s to consider the idea without freaking out or shutting down. The spirit world will always give you the way for every bit of guidance that it offers.
"You'll be surprised at the simplicity of what comes out. Your spirit is not complicated, it doesn't need much. But it does need what it needs."
Spirit guides are those spirits that have had earthly experiences. Angels have never had an earthly experience. You must ask for spirit guide or angel help. Some angels can help without you asking because God sends them.
Connect with your guides by writing or by just asking them out loud, let them speak through you
Request only the highest guidance from light and love (set up boundaries)
Good guidance is consistent and doesn't flatter or make you feel special
Archangel Michael: Protection, love
Archangel Gabriel: Emotions, essence of water, calms doubts, boosts confidence
Archangel Raphel: Healing (mind, body, spirit), essence of air, boosts creativity
Archangel Uriel: Essence of earth, multitasker, brings warnings, patron of music
Archangel Raguel: Police officer of the archangels, ensures that others behave (helps with relationship discord), drama to subside
Archangel Sariel: Keeps things in order, calm things down, organization
Archangel Ramiel: Hope, life and death issues, endings (circumstances, relationships, etc)
When someone offers you something say, "Yes, I'd be so grateful" as a way to practice being grateful. Guides like it when we are grateful.
Guides will always give you guidance that you can accomplish. But it may be outside your comfort zone.

This book was recommended on a podcast that I really liked, so I thought I would try it out. I wished I had opened the book before I purchased it; this book is Wanna-Be New Age Christian Woo-Woo garbage. The majority of this book is personal stories of her family. The fact that she has Native American and Aboriginal spirits (those who have lived and died) as Runner/Scouts to help find lost items is beyond disrespectful. Any religion she mentions is only Judeo-Christian ones, though she "sometimes" changes the term of God for the Holy Mother/Father as part of the Holy Trinity. The actual work to interact with these guides is only a few sentences in the chapters that are essentially go to her website and do this meditation guide. I'm trying to find something good about this book, but I'm 10 chapters in, and every chapter has been the same. Probably will drop this book.

I really found this book to be profound and useful! I've read it a couple of times, and both times I got information that I've put to use in my life. I'm a big fan of Sonia Choquette for the way she writes in a way that reaches out and touches the reader for practical application and understanding.

This book gives me some insight and a lot of valuable information on how to connect with my guides as well as how to use my gift of sight. I'm quite intuitive and enjoy learning more about the gift I have.

We are immortal spirits going on in this mortal human form and we all need greater help from the greats; those from the other world.
This spiritual book is quite helpful and I appreciate how it's well sorted.
Recommended for those looking for spiritual books.

Awesome book! The best I've read out there on the many different types of guides we have to work with and how to communicate with them.

This was one of the perfect reads which translated the tips, tricks to connect with your guides & angels to lead happier life. Just be receptive and apply no logic. Absolutely amazing read.

First, makes sure you are ready for this. The truth about beings you can't see.
Are you really ready?
Because they are there and many instances can prove that just because you can't see something, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. For example, thoughts, light at the higher wavelength or infrared, or smells...You get the idea.
In fact, according to Indian philosophy, thought makes the universe you live in. Emphasis on the word you. Your universe is different from mine. We make our worlds...kind of like make your bed and you sleep in it.
So if you want to know all about spirit guides, this is your book. Know also that if you have always had faith in an Ultimate Consciousness and have already established a connection with That, then you don't need to dig any deeper. You got it and have hit the jackpot already. Keep doing what you are doing. However, if you need help developing some connection with something higher than you, then this book will help you get there.
It's nice to know that you are not alone.
Buckle up and read it slowly and practice your intuition. That's where people seem to step back. You have intuition. You just need to flex it, like a bicep muscle.
A mistake that I found, because I'm a Sanskrit scholar, is on page 191 of my edition, which is the first page of the chapter Teacher Guides. The word "karma" does not mean "to learn". Karma is a noun and it means work or action. Whatever we do, even breathing, listening or any action that we take, creates a residue and that is called our karma. It is like a film that is invisible but attached to our aura. We carry it from life to life. The response to karma may never be immediate. It can travel lifetimes. The aura is always aware of everything you do and think. So be proactive with your thoughts and actions. Good comes back to you as good. Not so great, comes back to you as not so great. Your choice, right?
A lot of books translate Sanskrit words incorrectly and this is no exception.

This was very exciting and interesting to read. There are many activities within the book and I enjoyed getting creative and exploring my spiritual side and connections through drawing, writing, and meditations. This will stay on my bedside table for continuous reference. I look forward to reading more by Sonia Choquette.
