Knowing Your Spirit Guides: Who, What, and How

In-Sight Episode 8

In this webinar show, Lisa Bousson shares her knowledge of Spirit Guides.

• Who are they?
• Does everyone have a Spirit Guide?
• How can we access or communicate with our Spirit Guides?
• Spirit guides are benevolent, non-physical beings who offer guidance, wisdom, and protection throughout our lives. These spiritual companions come from various realms, such as the angelic, ancestral, or nature realms, and they work behind the scenes to support us as we navigate our human experiences. While we may not always be consciously aware of their presence, many people feel the subtle nudges or messages from their guides, whether through dreams, synchronicities, or a deep inner knowing.
  
  

• Types of Spirit Guides

  1. Angels: Angels are high vibrational beings of light who act as messengers and protectors. Guardian angels are often assigned to individuals from birth, offering guidance and protection throughout their lives.
  2. Ancestors: Our deceased loved ones or ancestors can also serve as spirit guides, offering wisdom passed down through generations. They can help us break old patterns, find healing, and carry on family legacies.
  3. Animal Guides: Spirit animals are often seen as powerful totems that offer insight and energy. These guides may appear in dreams or visions, bringing messages that relate to personal strengths, challenges, or opportunities for growth.
  4. Ascended Masters: These are enlightened beings—such as Buddha, Jesus, or other spiritual figures—who have transcended the physical plane and now offer guidance to those on their spiritual path.
  5. Elemental Spirits and Nature Guides: Nature-based spirit guides, like those from the elements (earth, water, fire, air), may show up during times of transformation or personal growth, helping us align with the natural rhythms of life.

  How Do Spirit Guides Communicate?

  Spirit guides communicate in various ways, and their messages can be subtle or direct. Some common ways spirit guides communicate include:

  • Intuition and Gut Feelings: The inner voice or gut feeling that directs you toward certain decisions or actions.
  • Dreams: Spirit guides often communicate through vivid dreams, using symbols, messages, or scenarios that offer insight into your current life situations.
  • Synchronicities: Meaningful coincidences, such as seeing the same number repeatedly or running into someone you needed to talk to, can be signs that your guides are working with you.
  • Signs and Symbols: Spirit guides may use physical signs like feathers, coins, or specific animals to capture your attention and convey their messages.

  How to Connect with Your Spirit Guides

  1. Meditation: Regular meditation is one of the most effective ways to quiet the mind and create space to receive guidance from your spirit guides.
  2. Ask for Guidance: Simply ask your guides for help or clarity on specific situations. Be open to the messages that come through.
  3. Trust Your Intuition: Spirit guides often communicate through feelings and intuitive thoughts. Trusting your gut instinct can help you decipher their messages.
  4. Journaling: Writing down your thoughts, feelings, and any symbols or signs you notice can help you track messages from your guides.
  5. Sacred Rituals: Practices like prayer, lighting candles, or using crystals can also help you establish a stronger connection with your spiritual team.

  Trusting Your Spirit Guides

  One of the most important things to remember when working with spirit guides is to trust the process. The guidance you receive may not always come in the form you expect, but if you stay open, patient, and receptive, you’ll begin to notice the loving and supportive ways your guides are helping you along your journey.

  Your spirit guides are always there, patiently awaiting your invitation to communicate and assist you on your path. By acknowledging their presence and being open to their guidance, you can create a deeper connection to the spiritual realm and navigate your life with confidence, clarity, and love.
