Do We Really Have Spirit Guides?
This is a questions I am often asked.
All of us have them. They are all around us if we could only perceive
them. Often confused with angels, they are souls who walk amongst us who are here to help, offer guidance, comfort, and yes - even advice. Just what are these spirits and where do they come from? They are what are known as Spirit Guides and they come from the Realm of Spirit, or the Other Side.
Spirit Guide, unlike an Angel, was once a human being, like you and I. They lived their life, performed their tasks, died, and crossed over to the Other Side. Some choose to come back, to reincarnate in a new life, in a new place. Others, however, make the choice to remain in Spirit so they can learn and spiritually advance while helping others still living to learn their life lessons. This is a Spirit Guide.
Spirit Guides, as former human beings, are well aware of the problems we face in our everyday mundane lives. They were once concerned with very similar matters. They tend to have their own special areas of expertise, often based on past personal experiences or careers they have had in a past life.
How man can we have?
At any given time, you could have as many as eight.
Your Spirit Guide, unlike your Guardian Angel, comes and goes in your life. A Guardian Angel is with you from birth until death. A Spirit Guide, on the other hand, comes into your life when an issue arises that falls under a guide's field of expertise. So, Spirit Guides often come and go, changing as the situations in your life change, and as you change and grow, you attract new guides to you. Some believe that we have a master guide who is with us from birth to death as well. I always think of these two guardian helpers as a team working together.
Your Spirit Guide is always there to help you. This is their sole purpose, to offer the living their help and guidance. However, as spirits, they operate on a higher vibrational frequency than mortals do, so the majority of us cannot see them, cannot hear them, and cannot sense their presence.
So, how do we know when a Spirit Guide is trying to make contact with us?
Unless you are fairly intuitive, most of us are not consciously aware of when a Guide attempts to make contact with us. Think of the random thoughts that occur to your throughout you day. Hmm, no, that's too much. What about the random thoughts that occur to you in just 3 minutes? Often it's a guide trying to communicate
