Activate Your Guidance System | Connect with your Spirit Guides
"The more open you are to receiving guidance, the more guidance you will receive." - Shakti Gawain
Previously, we unveiled the mysteries of spirit guides: who they are, their purpose, and what they offer. Now, let’s delve deeper and explore ways to connect with them, harness their guidance, and unlock the full potential of this inherent support system.
Pre-requistes:
There’s a beautiful harmony that exists when you cultivate three key ingredients for connecting with your spirit guides: trust, will, and discernment. Trust acts as the foundation, creating a safe space for your intuition to blossom. Will is the steady hand, actively seeking out these messages. Discernment is the gentle filter, ensuring the messages that resonate most deeply with you come through loud and clear. Together, they create a balanced and harmonious connection.
The first step to your inner guidance system starts with self-trust. If doubt is holding you back, embark on a journey of self-discovery. Ask yourself: "What limiting beliefs are you holding on to?" "What experiences might be fueling this self-doubt?"
Understanding the root of your self-doubt, whether it’s external influences or internal narratives, empowers you to address it.
Once you understand the source of your hesitation, you can choose to silence those doubts and empower the voice within. Like any muscle, self-trust needs consistent exercise. With every choice you make in favor of yourself, that inner voice grows stronger, becoming your trusted compass.
Another key ingredient is will. This aligns with the universal principle of free will, the driving force behind our actions. You can have all the resources in the world, but if you don’t choose to use them, they’re useless.
Will is ultimately a personal choice, it’s that internal urge to pursue your desires and dreams. It’s also the bridge strengthening your connection.
The stronger your will to connect and act on guidance, the stronger the connection becomes.
Lastly, discernment acts like your internal compass, guiding your will. It’s how your body and heart speak to you, offering a deeper knowing than just a list of pros and cons.
Learn to listen: does the information make you feel expansive and excited, or contracted and fearful?
Even if it’s challenging, are you energized by the prospect, or paralyzed by apprehension? Exploring these feelings is key to clear discernment. It becomes easier when you trust your intuition and take action. Self-doubt and inaction create confusion, making it hard to choose the right path.
Thus, with – trust, will, and discernment in your arsenal– you’re well-equipped to navigate the guidance of your spirit guides, teams, and archangels.
Two Simple Techniques to Connect:
- Meditation:
Meditation, a sacred practice, acts as a gateway to the present moment. It fosters a sense of oneness within you, encouraging you to detach from thoughts, connect with your breath, and ultimately, connect with your spirit team. The practice itself is simple and can be tailored to your preferences. We’ll begin with a technique you can use as a starting point, then explore ways to customize it for your needs and desires.
Find a comfortable seated position. Begin by gently observing your breath. Slowly close your eyes and focus on your inhales and exhales. Breathe deeply, allowing your breath to fill your entire body. Exhale slowly, feeling a sense of relaxation flow through you. Continue this for as long as feels comfortable.
With mindful breaths still flowing, call upon Archangel Michael, your higher self, spirit guides, and team. Thank them for their presence and express your question, concern, or specific area you'd like clarification on. If you feel drawn to receive guidance in the form of signs, feel free to ask for them. Trust that even without specific signs, they will communicate their message in the right way.
Once you've finished communicating, stay in the meditative state for as long as you feel comfortable. Pay attention to any thoughts, feelings, or insights that arise. Don't dismiss seemingly unrelated thoughts – they may carry hidden messages. Take them into consideration and act upon them as you feel guided.
While seeking guidance from my spirit guides on overcoming a roadblock, a random thought popped into my head – to contact an old colleague. It seemed unrelated, yet I followed the urge. As it turned out, the universe had a surprising twist in store. My colleague’s brother was facing a similar situation I once had. Our conversation allowed me to share my experience and offer support. While their next steps are their own, they now have valuable information at their disposal.
The way things work with your spirit guides sometimes transcends our logical thinking. Trust your intuition, discernment, and have the will to take the necessary actions, even if they don’t seem to make sense at first.
After your meditation, maintain an open mind as you go about your day. Signs and synchronicities may appear to guide you towards your request.
These messages can come in many forms – a dream, a random social media video, or even a conversation with a stranger. Many times, the guidance arrives as a subtle nudge from within.
Cultivating the ability to sense these nudges rather than dismiss them is key to unlocking your inner guidance system. Your spirit team has countless ways to connect with you. While their methods might seem unconventional to our human minds, they’ll ensure you receive the message. So, don’t worry if you miss something or struggle to understand it at first. As long as you’re open and receptive, they’ll find a way to get through.
- Automatic Writing:
If meditation isn't your cup of tea, and you enjoy journaling, this method might be a perfect fit!
Find a comfortable spot, put on some relaxing music, and grab a pen and notebook. Invite Archangel Michael, your spirit guides, and your team to join you. Write down your question, intention, or simply how you’re feeling – there are no limitations on what you can express.
Once you’ve clarified your intention, close your eyes, take a few deep breaths, and begin writing whatever comes to mind. At first, it may seem like a jumble of thoughts, and that’s okay! This "clearing" process allows you to release mental clutter. Keep writing without filtering or censoring anything.
Gradually, you’ll feel a shift. The thoughts on your mind will fade, and you’ll find yourself simply writing, letting the words flow freely. Sometimes, in this process, you might even start referring to yourself in the third person. This shift can be a sign that your inner voice is taking center stage. This is automatic writing, a way for your guides and team to communicate with you.
The messages may be simple reminders you’ve overlooked, or profound insights you couldn’t have predicted. They’ll be tailored to what you need to know at that specific moment to move forward.
Don't worry about how the messages "should" be – simply receive them and see how they can guide you.
It’s a truly remarkable experience. You’ll feel enveloped in a space of love, light, and compassion. A sense of gratitude, appreciation, and self-love will wash over you, signifying a strong connection with your spirit guides and team.
Closing Remarks:
The journey to connect with your spirit team is unique for everyone, but there are some universal elements -trust in yourself, your intuition, and the ability to harness your will and discernment. Each connection with your spirit team deepens your understanding and strengthens these very tools you use to connect.
The beauty of these practices lies in its flexibility. Do it daily, a few times a day, or whenever you feel called to it. With consistent practice, you’ll discover its full potential.
At first, I naively thought connecting with my spirit guides would provide instant solutions and clear all roadblocks from my path.
However, through practice and experience, I discovered it’s more like an internal support system – a constant source of guidance to help me navigate life, not bypass it.
There will still be unexpected turns, heartbreak, and the full range of human emotions. But now, you have your guides and team by your side. They’ll shower you with love and light, and you can call upon them anytime for support and assistance.
This is a powerful journey of self-discovery, one that opens us all to the ever-present love and support that surrounds us. It’s important to remember that this isn’t a replacement for your own choices and decisions; it’s an internal compass to guide you. It’s a reminder that you’re not alone, and a way to tap into your own inner power, strength, and magnificence. Ultimately, it’s about recognizing the incredible potential you already possess within yourself!
Thanks for reading!
Lots of love and light✨️
