Four Ways to Connect With Your Spirit Guide By Samantha Fey l Inspiring Words l Making Dreams Come True

When we decide to come to earth and advance our soul, we create a plan and assemble a team to help us. This team consists of our angels and guides. Angels are great helpers and rescuers, but they’ve never been human. So they tend to take a much higher evolved approach to problems. This is a beautiful thing, but it can be frustrating. For example, if you’re faced with a catastrophic illness and the medical bills that go with it - your angel’s response is, “All will be well.” While theoretically this is true, it’s not much help when you’re in the trenches. Spirit guides, on the other hand, are human and have lived dozens of lifetimes. Therefore, they are very practical when called upon for help. So how do you call on them? It’s easy - if you know their language.

Nature

It’s very easy for our spirit guides to use nature to communicate with us. They can make us notice butterflies when we’re going through a major life transition. We might see rainbows as a symbol of peace and a positive turning point coming to us. Cardinals are often messages that our loved ones in heaven are okay. Blue birds can mean we’ll get good news soon. Dragonflies indicate we’re going through an important spiritual transition. Ladybugs mean good luck is on its way. Seeing a hawk means we need to pay attention to something in our life that we aren’t seeing clearly. So pay attention to nature’s cues. Sometimes a butterfly is just a butterfly, but when you see five in one day or one lands on your shoulder and stays there, it can be a message from your guide.

Ego Vs Your Guide

Sometimes we believe we’re getting messages when really it’s just our ego screaming at us. So how can you tell the difference? Your ego is fear based, so messages from the ego will be impatient, scary, and inconsistent. Messages from your spirit guide will be calm, loving, reassuring and consistent.

So give it a try. Stay open. Get in touch with the still small voice within. Pay attention to your surroundings. Listen to the music playing around you and in your head. Spend time out in nature. Record your dreams. Begin a conversation with your guides and know that you have a team of helpers that are on your side, championing you on and helping you stay on path - even when that path is lonely, challenging and scary. Communicating with your guides will help you feel more connected, happier and supported in your life’s journey.
