Spirit Guides!
Do you believe in spirit guides? I define spirit guides as spiritual mentors from the other side who guide souls on earth through their life journey. Spirit guides can include and are not limited to: ancestors, ascended souls, deities, celestial beings, planetary bodies, and you’re Higher Self. Connecting to your spirit guides can seem very daunting, especially if you are not connected to your deceased ancestors or have painful family ties. This shouldn’t be a reason for concern because we all have a Higher Self! Until you feel comfortable connecting with other energies, building a strong foundation with your Higher Self is the best blueprint.
Connecting to your Higher Self through heightened intuition and unlocking your divinity are discussed in previous blogs. My relationship with my Highest Self was built through meditating, journaling, and getting to know myself intimately! Over time, I recognized the guidance of my Highest Self through daily mundane activities. When I seek guidance, it is often confirmed through repeated symbols and numbers in my surroundings or the media I watch! Once you find the rhythm between you and your Highest Self, it is an easier transition to tap into other spiritual energies for guidance.
If you desire to connect with ancestors but are unfamiliar with their energies, seek guidance from your Highest Self. They can repel malicious spirits and ensure only energies aligned with your highest soul purpose connect with you. I intentionally prayed by welcoming ancestors from my lineage to my spirit team. It is important to give consent and ask for consent back! For closed spiritual traditions that require initiations, especially if you desire to work with specific deities, authentic soul alignment, and a formal invitation is necessary!
Once I connected with my ancestors through intuitive guidance, I expanded my spirit team to other ascended souls and celestial beings interested in offering guidance. Now, I am tapping into planetary bodies, including Mother Earth herself for guidance. We forget these entities are alive and have souls! Considering that our astrological signs are ruled by planets that impact us daily, it is only logical to forge relationships with them and maximize their energies for our benefit.
