How To Connect With Your Spirit Guides

Isn’t it fascinating to think that every single one of us has spirit guides around us…. (even those who don’t believe in such things)?

And even more fascinating to think that we can all learn to connect to our spirit guides. No magic, ‘natural’ psychic ability or weird rituals involved. Connecting to spirit guides is a skill that can be learnt by anyone.

Connecting To Spirit Guides

There are many reasons why you may wish to connect to your spirit guides. 

They can offer you guidance, protection and signs that you are on the right path. 

Spirit guides can also let you know that you are surrounded by love and support at all times.

How Do You Connect To Spirit Guides?

To get the most out of your relationship with your spirit guides you have to… build a relationship with them!

Regular, intentional connection with your guides is key. 

The more you work on creating a positive, respectful relationship with your spirit guides, the more communication will open up. Clear guidance will easily flow towards you.

Here Is My Process To Connect To Spirit Guides:

Your spirit guides are very high frequency and need to step their energy down to communicate with you. If you can raise your energy and meet them in the middle, you’ll help the process. 

A sacred space is a physical and energetic environment that will strengthen this connection. 

It should be a place where you feel calm and focused. You can make it a high-frequency space with candles, crystals and spiritual images. Some people like to create an altar, or dedicate the corner of a room to connecting with their spirit guides. 

When working with sacred space, remember to clear any unwanted or stagnant energy out of the space using sage, incense or sound. Set the intention to use the space to connect with your spirit guides and you will only allow higher energies and messages for your highest good. 

Make your sacred space your own by placing meaningful items there that resonate with you. These will act as focal points and raise your vibration further. 

Set Your Intentions To Connect With Your Spirit Guides

Use powerful, intentional statements about which type of guides you’d like to connect with and what guidance you’d like to receive. This will direct your energy to the right place and protect you from lower energies. 

You may wish to say something like:

“I invite my spirit guides and higher self to join me now. Please assist me in receiving messages that are for my highest good and in alignment with divine truth.”

Ask Your Spirit Guides To Communicate

As you know, your guides may show up in many different ways; a feeling, a sound, an image in your mind’s eye, or even just ‘knowing’ they are present.

Relax in your sacred space and invite your spirit guides to communicate with you. It’s a good idea to meditate before you try to communicate so that you will be in a receptive state to receive messages. 

You can then ask your guides for a sign that they are present; perhaps a word, a mental image or a sensation such as a loving feeling.

Once you become aware that your spirit guide or guides are with you, greet them with respect and thank them for stepping closer to communicate with you.

Nurture Your Relationship With Your Spirit Guides

The more you practise communicating with your spirit guides, the better your connection will be. Just in the same way that time, commitment and regular communication will help any new friendship flourish. 

Try to talk to your guides every day if you can. Sit in silence and see what they send back. 

You can also keep a journal to record your interactions with your guides. You might start seeing patterns in communication styles, or similar messages coming through. 

Always show your appreciation to your guides for sharing their wisdom - even if you don’t fully understand their symbolic and energetic language just yet.

Finally, Learn To Trust Your Spirit Guides

You can learn to trust their messages by practising communication with them and waiting to see if the messages they give you go on to be validated in your everyday life. Remember not every message you receive from your guides will be clear. 

You can build your confidence by asking your spirit guides to help you with small situations such as finding a lost item or helping make simple decisions. 

You can also ask your spirit guides to give you specific details about something in your life that can go on to be validated by you or someone you know (perhaps someone from further back in your family tree, or a friend’s favourite childhood toy).

Have fun exploring your relationship with your spirit guides. My biggest takeaway is that for you to be able to connect with your spirit guides fully, it’s best to place importance on building a relationship with them instead of receiving ‘quick wins’ intuitively.
