Have you ever noticed repeating numbers or animals behaving strangely? Have you ever felt like the universe was trying to tell you something or had a gut feeling? Chances are, your spirit guides may be communicating with you. But how can we unlock their messages? Let’s dive into the fascinating world of spirit guidance.
What are Spirit Guides?
Spirit guides are nonphysical beings that help us on our journey through life. They can take many forms – from angels to animals, deceased loved ones, and even strangers. Some cultures believe that these guides have always been around us, while others believe they come into our lives when we need them most. Whatever form they take, it is believed that our spirit guides provide us with wisdom and knowledge to help guide us on our path.
How Do They Communicate With Me?
Your spirit guides communicate with you in various ways – from subtle signs such as symbols or numbers to more direct communication such as feelings or dreams. Signs from your spirit guides may appear in everyday life as a reminder or warning, or could be as simple as having a specific thought pop into your head out of nowhere.
The most common ways our guides communicate with us are:
- Repeating number sequences like 11:11 or always waking up at the same time, seeing the same numbers on number plates, phone numbers, receipts……these are commonly referred to an angel numbers which you can google. Eg search “Angel number 555”
- An animal in an unusual place/out of season/displaying unusual behaviour. For example, there are many instances of a wild animal meaningfully interacting with someone who has recently lost a loved one. Alternatively, if you see an animal during a meditation, there is likely a message to be found by searching “Spirit animal +[your animal]” online.
- Finding feathers – a wonderful sign especially after meditating and particularly in unusual places. Feather meanings (including colours) can be found online.
- A song on the radio that gives you goose bumps or randomly pops into your head. It’s worth looking up the lyrics to see if there’s any correlation to what you are going through or thinking.
- A random thought in your head, out of the blue, and it seems out of place given what else has been going on for you. For example, while working you suddenly find yourself thinking of a passed loved one or a favourite childhood toy.
- Random physical sensation such as tingles, goose bumps or noticing a smell that others can’t smell.
All of the above can also be communicated during a meditation. By quieting the mind and opening yourself up to the energy of your spirit guides, they will be able to share their wisdom with you more easily.
How Can I Connect With My Spirit Guides Better?
There are a few key steps you can take to improve your connection.
Permission
The first is to give your guides permission to communicate with you. Tell the universe/spirit/God that you are open to receive messages that are for your highest good.
Commit to making an effort
Then take steps to develop an awareness of your own intuition so that you can recognize when your spirit guide is attempting to communicate with you. Be mindful of any sensations or signs that appear throughout your day and pay attention to what comes up for you during meditation and dream states – these are all clues as to what message your spirit guide is trying to convey! A great habit is to keep a Dream Journal – and jot down what you can remember of each dream, even if you believe you don’t dream. Additionally, every time you meditate, set the intention to connect with your guides as you start your meditation. This will open up further channels of communication between the two of you.
Raise your vibration
Raising your vibration is also a powerful tool that improves your ability to receive messages. Any form of energy healing, sound healing or mindfulness practices can assist with this. Some also find holding a crystal such as Selenite or Amethyst during a meditation helps.
Essentially the more you choose to be open to them, the more they will communicate with you. But always make sure to ask that you only connect with ‘beings that are here for your highest good’. Intention is very powerful in metaphysical work.
In conclusion…
Understanding how our spirit guides communicate with us is an essential part of unlocking the answers we seek within ourselves. When we trust our intuition and listen closely for their messages, we open ourselves up to a world of wisdom and guidance beyond anything physical reality can offer! Whether it’s through subtle signs or direct communication during meditation, connecting with our spirit guides allows us to tap into a deeper level of understanding about who we are and why we’re here on this planet – ultimately helping us live more meaningful lives.
