Who Are Your Spirit Guides
Have you ever felt an unexplainable presence guiding you, or experienced moments of clarity that seemed to come from beyond? Spirit guides are believed to be ethereal beings who offer support, wisdom, and protection throughout our lives. Whether you think of them as ancestors, angels, or universal energies, these guides are often described as helpers who nurture your spiritual journey and assist you in navigating life’s challenges.
I refer to spirit guides, and the supportive beings in our lives, as “the team”, a collective of energies working together to uplift and guide us. But who exactly are your spirit guides, and how can you connect with them? Let’s explore their role in your life.
Who Are Spirit Guides
Spirit guides are souls you have connected with in past lives, other realities, or the spirit world. Some guides may even be future versions of you. Each guide has a unique personality, purpose, and way of offering help.
Before arriving on Earth, our souls existed in the spirit world, a realm where countless souls gather. Some choose to incarnate as humans, while others prefer to observe and learn without living a human life.
This makes every spirit guide relationship personal and distinct, shaped by their origins and the purpose they hold in your journey. Understanding who your guides are is the first step to building a meaningful connection with the team.
Your Relationship with Guides
Think of spirit guides as trusted friends. They have opinions about your life’s direction and may even grow apart from you over time. It is natural to release guides who are ready to explore elsewhere.
Some guides are lively and talkative, adding mental chatter and bursts of energy. Others are calm, elegant, and wise, guiding you toward spiritual growth. The guides closest to you can influence how you navigate challenges and opportunities.
However, guides do not act like parents. They do not make decisions for you or dictate your actions. They collaborate with you to fulfil your life’s mission. You are the CEO of your life, and they follow your lead. When asked, they offer opportunities and gentle guidance, but you are the one who chooses and experiences your path.
The Journey of Free Will
Life on Earth is about balancing autonomy and responsibility. Every choice you make has consequences, giving you opportunities to learn, grow, and evolve into the best version of yourself. Reflecting on your decisions helps you move forward with confidence and purpose.
Why Free Will Matters to Your Guides
Spirit guides learn from your journey as well. Earth offers a unique experience of cause and effect, which is different from the spirit realm where unity and interconnectedness are the norm. By observing your choices, guides deepen their understanding, just as you gain wisdom from their presence. This mutual growth strengthens the bond between you and the team.
The Role of Discernment and Trust
Discernment helps you filter through life’s noise and focus on what aligns with your highest good. Trust keeps you grounded and steady when challenges arise. Together, discernment and trust create a strong foundation for spiritual awakening, allowing you to navigate your journey with clarity and strength.
How To Work With Guides
When seeking guidance, it is important to approach the right guide for the right question. For example, a nurturing guide might offer gentle relationship advice, while a romance‑oriented guide may inspire confidence and passion. By connecting with spirit guides, loved ones who have passed, or other supportive presences, you can find comfort, wisdom, and clarity.
To build these relationships, begin by setting clear intentions, quieting your mind, and staying open to signs, dreams, or messages. These interactions can offer profound insights and help you navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.
Building Intuition and Connection
Spirit guides often align events to nudge you forward. You may feel inspired to book an appointment with an advisor who can act as an intermediary and help interpret your guides’ messages. Strengthening your intuition and mindfulness allows you to recognise these moments and deepen your connection.
Being attuned to the influences around you, and trusting your inner voice, are important steps in spiritual growth. When you trust yourself and the guidance you receive, you gain the confidence to move forward with clarity.
Communicating with Spirit Guides
Spirit guides communicate in many ways, and synchronicities are one of the most common. These meaningful coincidences are signs that you are aligned with your path. Repeating numbers such as “111” or your personal lucky number are gentle reassurances from your guides. For me, seeing “68” or “27” always feels like a nudge from my team, reminding me they are near.
Messages can also come through music.
A song may inspire you, or certain lyrics may stay in your mind. Paying attention to these moments can reveal guidance. Dreams are another powerful channel. Spirit guides may appear directly or symbolically, offering imagery that provides direction. For example, I once dreamed of meeting a killer whale, which I interpreted as a symbol of harmony, travel, community, and protection. That dream encouraged me to plan a meaningful trip with friends.
Sometimes, spirit guides communicate through impulses or inspired ideas that lead to action. You might feel drawn to visit a coffee shop, only to reconnect with an old neighbour in a heart‑warming way. These small moments are subtle yet profound ways your guides support your journey.
Inviting Specific Guidance
When communicating with your guides, do not hesitate to give clear instructions. You might say, “Please show me a duck today if this is the house I am meant to buy.” I once did this, and when I walked into the kitchen of the house, I saw duck‑patterned curtains. It felt like a clear confirmation, and I later won the bid on that property.
Embracing Challenges and Growth
Not all messages from your guides are easy to receive. They may encourage you to face difficult situations, have honest conversations, or revisit painful memories. Although these experiences can be uncomfortable, they are essential for personal growth. They help you evolve and refine yourself, much like the formation of a pearl.
Life’s challenges often test your ability to trust, not only in others but also in the unseen support of your guides. Learning to trust this guidance, even when it is intangible, is an important part of your spiritual journey.
Personalised Signs and Symbols
Your signs will be unique to you. Spirit guides use your personal library of memories, symbols, and experiences to send messages that resonate deeply.
For me, my team often places a white feather on my path when I need encouragement. I smile when I see “27” or “68” on a licence plate because it feels like protection. I also often see a Blue Wren when my guides want to remind me of my grandmother’s love. It does not always have to be a literal bird; it could be a statue in a shop or an illustration on a book cover.
Many clients receive signs through butterflies, ladybirds, white flowers, or specific songs. These symbols are tailored to each person, making the connection personal and meaningful.
Everybody receives information in different ways

Some people will FEEL the answer within their body. This can be energy, emotions or physical sensations.
Claircognizance
Some people will KNOW the answer within their mind. This will be an unshakable certainty and inner knowledge.
Ready to meet your guides?
If you’re interested in meeting your spirit guides, consider booking a past life regression session. During the session, we’ll invite your guides to join us on a journey between lives. They always come through, offering their wisdom and presence in truly profound and enlightening ways. This could be a beautiful opportunity to connect with “the team” and gain insights into your soul’s journey.
You Between Lives
Accessing Your Soul’s Journey
Discovering your soul’s journey can be an incredibly liberating experience. While our human minds perceive time as linear, with a past, present, and future, our souls exist beyond these limitations and can access other dimensions. It is similar to the freedom we feel when dreaming, where the constraints of time and space fade away.
Through countless interactions with clients, there is strong evidence that our souls intentionally choose to come to Earth for unique lessons. Earth gives us the opportunity to explore polarity, time, space, and physical matter. It is as though our souls enrol in a “school” within this 3D reality. When reflecting on life’s challenges, you may wonder, “Why did I choose this?” Yet there is always wisdom behind these choices.
In the spirit realm, where our souls rest between lives, heavier emotions such as anger, hate, resentment, sadness, and frustration do not exist. Coming to Earth allows us to experience and grow through these emotions, ultimately teaching us the profound value of human love.
Soul Contracts and the Roles We Play
Imagine life as a movie. Each soul plays a role in another’s journey. Together, we teach, learn, and evolve, weaving a rich tapestry of experiences that shape our collective growth over lifetimes.
Between lives, soul families gather around what is often called the “soul contract table.” Here, roles, lessons, and agreements are mapped out with the souls who will accompany us. These soul family members may appear as relatives, friends, colleagues, strangers, or even adversaries.
Sometimes, souls volunteer for particularly challenging roles. For example, a messy ex‑boyfriend may teach you what you do not want in love, helping you clarify what you truly value. These contrasts often lead to deep personal growth and self‑awareness. Souls who take on these challenging roles are often regarded with great respect for their contribution to your learning.
The intention behind all of this is to gain insight, raise your energetic frequency, and manifest the life you desire, while inspiring others to raise their own light. Some souls remain connected to you through ongoing soul contracts, continuing tasks they began in previous lives. These contracts can also be completed early, creating space for new connections or guides. Others see their role as a service to the greater good. And some simply enjoy sharing your journey, riding life’s rollercoaster alongside you without the risk.
Your Choice
If given the opportunity, would you choose to be a guide or a human?
Each path carries its own wisdom, challenges, and rewards.
Together, they shape the collective tapestry of growth, learning, and enlightenment.
Childhood and Spirit Guides
Awakening to Spiritual Connection
Have you ever met someone you would describe as spiritually asleep? Watching how they move through life can be fascinating. These individuals often keep their soulful guidance at arm’s length, finding comfort in logic and relying only on their five senses. It may seem as though they have never had a spiritual connection. Yet when you remember that they made a soul contract to be here on Earth, it becomes clear that at some point they chose to dial down their connection to the spirit world.
Every child enters this world shining with radiant light. Their innocence and curiosity reflect both vulnerability and wisdom, untouched by the fears and limitations the world may later impose. At this stage, their sixth sense is vibrant, and their hearts are wide open, ready to embrace everything life offers.
It is common to see a toddler giggling or engaging with what appears to be empty space. While it is easy to dismiss this as imaginary play, it is often a loved one in the spirit world, perhaps a grandparent, keeping them company.
As part of a greater cosmic plan, each of us eventually reaches a crossroads in our connection to the spiritual realms. Do we hold on to our intuition, sixth sense, and spiritual awareness? Or do we grow up in a way that conforms to a world that values logic and the tangible, placing trust only in what we can see and touch?
This transformation is similar to the journey of Robin Williams’ character, Peter Pan, in Hook. After leaving Neverland, Peter forgets who he truly is and the adventures he shared with the Lost Boys. Consumed by adulthood, he becomes a workaholic lawyer, distancing himself from the carefree, imaginative spirit of his youth. This shift reflects the loss of childhood wonder and the challenge of balancing adult responsibilities with the joy of one’s inner child. It is no surprise that many people who feel like Peter Pan eventually seek a spiritual awakening when the material world leaves them burned out or unfulfilled.
The crossroads many of us face often appears between the ages of two and seven. At this stage, a familiar guide may interact with a child in a subtle, shadow‑like way. The child is presented with a choice: Will they remain open to the wonder in the shadows, or will external influences, such as a parent’s fears, cause them to shut down this connection?
Whether you remained spiritually open or fear caused you to disconnect, now is the time to tune back in to your guides and embrace the support they offer.
Negative Energy
Loving, benevolent beings generate energy, while negative beings tend to drain it. Just as negative people can leave you feeling depleted, being in the presence of low‑vibrational beings can have a similar effect.
If you are experiencing ongoing challenges such as low energy, self‑pity, health problems, financial difficulties, or prolonged suffering, it may indicate the presence of negative influences around you. Some people refer to these as “attachments.” Removing these energies and cleansing your home and aura is a specialised skill often performed by professionals.
Although I explore this topic more deeply in other chapters, remember that empowerment is your greatest shield. The more you face your fears, step away from drama and scarcity, and cultivate inner strength, the more naturally protected you become from negative energies.
Get to know your Guides by asking for their name
I find that connecting with my guides by using their names strengthens our bond. It allows me to call on them more easily whenever I need their guidance.
To discover their names, I clear my mind and simply ask. Over the years, I have learned to trust the first name that comes to mind. You can often sense the energy of their personality. Some guides feel serious and grounded, while others come across as playful and curious.
Here are a few of mine:
I have a guide named Walter who helps me stay safe on the road.
I have a guide named Joe who brings forward wisdom when I am working with clients.
I have a guide named Pua who comes from Hawaii and sits in whenever I am doing healings.
I have a business guide named Yan, who I knew in 227 BC when the Great Wall of China was built.
I have a guide named Jane who carries a clipboard and is responsible for all the other guides on the team.
And the list goes on.
