Hearing your Spirit Guides & Energy Beings.

In these tumultuous times, many people are seeking answers to the bigger question – are you too? Are you feeling unsure and fearful of what the future holds, in the big picture of politics, economics, and other global events? Are big changes happening in your own life?

For 10 years, I have been doing my work as a healer and now, more than ever, my clients are coming to me in fear of the unknown. Many of them are asking me to help them connect with and hear their Spirit Guides, in the hopes of receiving answers to their many questions. Over the next few months I will be sharing with you how I teach my students and clients to connect with their Higher Self, Spirit Guides and the Universe through understanding the Three Levels of Intuitive Wisdom. I’ll also share some of the exercises and visualizations I teach in my Mind, Body and Soul Healer’s certification course, The Confident Healer: An Introduction to Intuitive Healing. I hope you enjoy and I’d love to hear from you as you connect with your Spirit Guides.

Spirit Guides and the First Level of Intuitive Wisdom

What does Spirit mean to you? Do you believe in angels, fairies, or elementals? Have you ever seen something out of the corner of your eye, only to turn your head quickly and not see anything there? Have you had the feeling of someone being in the room with you, or suddenly hearing a long forgotten song on the radio that was your grandmother’s favourite tune, the one she used to hum to whenever she heard it? Have you ever become aware of the smell of a flower, perfume or cigar smoke that cannot be explained in that moment? Have you ever experienced that persistent, gentle – or not so gentle – voice in your head, insisting that you make a certain choice or follow a certain path?

If you have answered yes to any of these questions, then I’m going to suggest that you have been aware of something going on beyond your normal range of knowing and sensing. Each of these experiences can absolutely have a rational explanation. It could be just a coincidence that your grandmother’s favourite song was playing on the radio, at the exact moment you were thinking of her. It could just be one of those things when the phone rings and you know who is on the other end. And the smell of the cigar could be from someone walking past your window, a perfectly physical person, as physical as you or I.

I am not going to tell you angels are real. I’m not going to tell you that fairies fly around your garden or that your grandmother is sitting next to you right now, watching over you with love and compassion. What I am going to do is to invite you to consider the possibility that everything is made up of energy, which flows around and through you constantly. I’m going to suggest that, even though you don’t see sound waves, hear radio waves or feel when your cell phone is sending and receiving data, these processes are always occurring, regardless of your knowledge of them.

So, isn’t it possible that there are energy signatures, – angels, energy beings, or fairies, – all around you, right now, who are simply vibrating at a different frequency than you are? Could it be that your grandmother is watching over you and that you do have a host of Energy Beings who guide you and that the energy of past events can be felt hundreds of years after the event has happened?

I did a Google search of Spirit Guides. There were over 10,800,000 entries in .04 seconds. Either we are all delusional, which is possible, or, we are onto something important. One of the most popular notions is that your guides, presuming they are real, are just waiting for you to smarten up and start asking them all sorts of questions, which, of course, they will answer immediately, with guidance, but not usually direct answers. Also, that they are here for you 24/7 – all you need to do is call upon them.

This got me to thinking; if this is true, then why do so many people seem to have difficulty hearing their guides or connecting to them? If you aren’t listening can’t they just yell louder?

The interest in Spirit Guides speaks volumes to how much we want to believe that we are not alone; that someone, somewhere, cares so much about us, our well-being and welfare, that they would dedicate their lives to ours; that they would choose to be disbelieved in, ignored and their guidance continually disregarded and still stand by us until that inevitable day when we die and they finally get to say “I told you so!”

Another subject well written regarding Spirit Guides is what their roles are in our lives and what the rules of Spirit Guide correct conduct are. I believe their role is to help you stay on the path you chose for yourself, to see that you keep as close to the story you wrote for this lifetime and to remind you of the reason and purpose you intended for this life before you came here.

They’re not here to answer all your questions, or even to keep you out of harm’s way. You have a huge responsibility to make wise choices for yourself, based on your wisdom and experience and, I believe, you can make those wise choices for yourself, which is the First Level of Intuitive Wisdom.

If Spirit Guides do exist and are here to help you navigate being human, how can you better connect with them?  Can you trust your own responses, feelings, experiences and knowledge? There is no sense in going any further with a discussion about as Spirit Guides, elemental beings, angels, ghosts or any other psychic phenomenon if you are constantly second guessing your own perceptions, past the point of deciding if there is a so-called rational explanation. Healthy skepticism comes into play here, as so does trusting your abilities and experiences.

The First Level of Intuitive Wisdom is this – You.  You are far wiser, far smarter, and far more brilliant than you ever give yourselves credit for. Spirit knows this, which is why your Guides step back much of the time; they know you already have the answers.

You have all the solutions to every situation, challenge, and problem, within you. Do you know why?  Because you’ve done it before! Do you have a sense that maybe this isn’t your first rodeo?  (see my article on Past Life Exploration) So what are you doing with all that wisdom and all those experiences from other lifetimes? Go to yourself first.  Go to your Higher Self first. You’re only going to need to go to the Second Level of Intuitive Wisdom is if you don’t listen to yourself.  And we all do it.  We’ve all been there.  How many of you have stayed in that job a year or two too long?  Even though you told yourself it was time to go?  How many of you have stayed in that relationship because you can’t go yet, you just can’t – but the voice is saying, “Really?  The energy’s done, we’re good now, it’s time to go elsewhere”, but you don’t.  You stay, you’re afraid, you don’t know what it’s going to look like and you don’t trust yourself to make those wise choices. 

I want you to learn to trust your own, wise self. I want you to be the first place you go when you have a question. It’s only when you can’t or don’t hear your wise counsel do I want you moving to the Second Level of Intuitive Wisdom, connecting with your Spirit Guides.

In my next article, we’ll explore your connection with your Guides and learn ways to open your intuitive communication channels to receive the guidance your Guides have for you. In the meantime, I’d like to share a couple of quick exercise to help you connect to your Wise Self.

Exercise to Connect with your Human Wisdom:

Think of a time when you knew, deeply and with total conviction, that you had the right answer, were making the best decision and following the best path for yourself. Write this memory down and connect with how it felt to know the solutions and answers.

Exercise to Question your Questions:

Take a moment to allow your most important question now in your life to come into your awareness. Once you have formulated your question, write it down. Now allow your Higher Self to answer the question, without filtering or judging the answer as it comes to you. Record your answer.

How do you feel now?  Are you surprised by your answer?  Is there a new level of confidence that you have from identifying your brilliance in your human knowing?  And, the best part is that you did it on your own, with your wisdom, intelligence and life experience!
