Angels, Guides, Spiritual Helpers

We all have Angels or Guides who help us with our spiritual development while we learn the lessons that we have come here for during this lifetime. If you view the world as our classroom, then it would make sense to have someone or something that we can turn to for guidance to help us with our lessons and guide us to our best answers.

Have you ever had a feeling of being 'protected' or 'watched over'? Have you sometimes felt chills when someone has said something of significance for you? Have there been times when you just knew that you should go and do something but didn't know why until you did it? These are some of the ways that we are aware of our guidance giving us support or information or highlighting times for us to pay attention to what we are receiving from others.

Our guides are pure energy, they are master souls who have already learned the lessons we are experiencing. When they come close to us, we may feel them as a chill as their energy interacts with our own. There may be several guides that we may call on during our lifetime, perhaps not all at the same time, although in moments of greatest need you can be sure that the full team is there, supporting and helping us through traumatic events.

Of all the fears that we may have throughout life, being alone is one that we need never have. We are never ever alone, we always can be connected to our guidance and it is fear itself which gives us a feeling of separation. At any time when we are afraid or feel alone, we have only to remember that our guides are with us always and we can regain our sense of being a part of a larger whole.

Our spiritual guides are here to help us and support us. They won't do our own work for us, but they will help us to find our own answers and guide us to what we need.

So how can you communicate with your guides?

Firstly, you can do this by paying attention to your 'intuition' and the 'feelings' that you have about something. Any information that you just 'know' without understanding why you know it, is information that has generally come from your guides. Learning to trust this inner intuition over reasoned thinking may seem illogical, but you will usually find that your intuitions were right had you followed them!

You can also be more aware of what information is coming to you whenever you get chills - your guides want you to pay particular attention to what is being said to you - it is important for you. Perhaps you may even get chills when you have said something of importance to another person - again your guides may have come close to you at a synchronistic moment for someone else. We are all inter-connected and sometimes our own answers come through the interaction with someone else. At these synchronistic moments, not only our own guides are close, but those of the other person too!
