Spirit guides are entities assigned to watch over us while we are here.

We all have spirit guides. They are our friends and guardians, our teachers and companions. Some of us (I speak for myself), really put them to the test, but no matter what happens, they will always be there to love, support and protect you.

A spirit guide has lived a life on earth, and we may even have lived a life with them. They know us better than we know ourselves and help us throughout our lives to learn valuable life lessons.

Some people have only one guide, while others have many.

Your master spirit guide will be with you your whole life while others come and go depending on what is going on in your life and the lessons you are learning.

You can ask your spirit guide to make himself known. They may come to you in a dream, during meditation, or when you least expect it.

Don’t expect to actually see your guide.

Sometimes they will appear as a white fog, a feeling of cold or heat, or a ringing in the ears. It is different for everyone. You don’t have to be psychic or spiritual to connect with your guides.

I have several spirit guides, each very different from the other.

Kajeda is a Japanese woman who is very slim and is about 4 feet tall. 10 inches tall she wears traditional Japanese clothing and wooden shoes and has black hair tied back.

She came to me during a meditation. Kajeda is straightforward and direct in answering my questions.

Here is the response I got from Kajeda recently when I asked him a question.

Kajeda, what is your main purpose in my life?

“My purpose is to help you complete your goals. Without focus you are like a leaf in the wind. You must focus on what comes your way. Your life lessons are many, embrace them. I am here to help you.”

I have another guide named Big Bear who is Native American. I’ve never seen him, but he has a gentle presence about him. Here is his message to me.

“I am here to nurture and comfort you in times of stress. My wisdom and clarity will diminish your thoughts of fear and help guide you on your path. I am always here for you.”

Theo is my master spirit guide. I see him as a white light and I have never seen the features of him. He is my main guide and I feel him around me all the time.

Theo: “I am here as your soul friend and companion during your time here on earth. My role covers many areas, but my main role is to guide you to new destinations and help you avoid that which will hinder your progress. Call me in a moment. Notice.”

Then there’s Annabelle. She is my guide to joy. We all have joy guides and they are usually younger souls. They are here to lift us up and cheer us on when life is getting too serious.

Lori: Annabelle, what is your purpose in my life?

Analbelle: “Who else is going to make you laugh?”

If you want a sign from your spirit guide, just ask. They are just as eager to communicate with you as you are with them.

For example, ask your guide for their name. You may hear it, see it in your head, or perhaps see the same name in several different places. If he does, that’s his response.

Don’t be disappointed if you don’t get your name right away. Be patient and it will come to you. Discover many more exercises and tools that will help you connect with the spirit.
