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 aid 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 the fascinating realm of spirit guides and uncover their role in your life.
Who Are Spirit Guides?
Spirit guides are souls we’ve connected with in past lives, other realities, or the spirit world. Remarkably, our guides can even be future versions of ourselves! Each guide has their own unique personality, agenda, 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 acquire knowledge without living a human life.
This makes every spirit guide relationship distinct and deeply personal, 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’s natural to release guides who are ready to explore elsewhere. Some guides are lively and talkative, adding mental chatter and energy, while others are elegant and wise, steering you toward spiritual growth. The type of guides closest to you can influence how you navigate life’s challenges.
However, guides won’t act like parents. They don’t make decisions for you or dictate your actions. Instead, they collaborate with you to fulfill your life’s mission. You’re the CEO of your life, and they follow your lead. When asked, they provide opportunities and gentle guidance, but you are the one in charge of making choices and experiencing life.
The Journey of Free Will
Life on Earth revolves around balancing autonomy and responsibility. Every choice you make has consequences, offering you opportunities to learn, grow, and evolve into the best version of yourself. Reflecting on your decisions empowers you to navigate your path 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 causality—actions leading to consequences—distinct from the spirit realm, where unity and interconnectedness take precedence. 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 enables you to filter through life’s noise and focus on what aligns with your highest good. Trust acts as a grounding force, helping you stay resilient and steady in the face of challenges. Together, discernment and trust form a crucial foundation for spiritual awakening, empowering you to navigate your journey with clarity and strength.
How To Work With Guides
When seeking guidance, it’s essential to approach the right guide for the right question. For instance, a nurturing guide might offer cautious relationship advice, whereas a romance-oriented guide could inspire confidence and passion. By connecting with spirit guides, loved ones who’ve passed, or other supportive presences, you can find comfort, wisdom, and clarity.
To build these relationships, start by setting clear intentions, quieting your mind, and staying open to signs, dreams, or messages. These interactions can bring profound insights, helping you navigate life’s challenges with their wisdom and support.
Building Intuition and Connection
Spirit guides often align events to nudge you forward. For example, you may feel inspired to book an appointment with an advisor who can act as an intermediary to interpret your guides’ messages. Strengthening your intuition and mindfulness allows you to recognize these moments and deepen your connection.
Being attuned to the influences around you—and trusting your inner voice—are vital steps toward spiritual growth. By trusting both yourself and the guidance you receive, you gain the confidence needed to move forward with clarity.
Communicating with Spirit Guides
Spirit guides communicate through many forms, with synchronicities being one of the most notable. These meaningful coincidences are signs that you’re aligned with your destiny. 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’re near.
Messages can also come through music.
A song might inspire you, or lyrics could linger in your mind—paying attention to their meaning can reveal guidance. Dreams are another powerful channel. Spirit guides may appear directly in your dreams, offering symbols or imagery to provide direction. For instance, I once dreamed of meeting a killer whale, which I interpreted as a symbol of harmony, travel, community, and protection. This dream encouraged me to plan a meaningful trip with friends.
Sometimes, spirit guides communicate through impulses or inspired ideas that lead to action. For example, you might feel prompted to visit a coffee shop, only to reconnect with an old neighbour in a heart warming way. These seemingly small moments are subtle yet profound ways your guides encourage and support your journey.
Inviting Specific Guidance
When communicating with your guides, don’t hesitate to give them clear instructions. For instance, you might say, “Please show me a duck today if this is the house I’m supposed to buy.” I did this once, 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 spirit guides are easy to receive. They may encourage you to face challenging situations, engage in difficult conversations, or revisit painful memories. While these experiences can be uncomfortable, they are vital for personal growth—helping you evolve and refine yourself, much like the transformation of a pearl.
Life’s hardships often test your ability to trust—not just in others, but in the unseen guidance of spirit guides. However, learning to trust this support, even when it’s intangible, is an essential part of your spiritual journey and growth.
Personalised Signs and Symbols
Your signs will be unique to you. Spirit guides use your personal library of knowledge and experience to send messages that resonate on a deeper level.
For me, my team often places a white feather on my path when I need encouragement or upliftment. I can’t help but smile when I see “27” or “68” on a license plate ahead of me—it feels like my guides are protecting my path. Similarly, I often see a Blue Wren when my guides want to remind me of my grandmother’s love. This doesn’t always have to be a literal bird; it could be a statue in a shop or an illustration on the spine of a book.
Some clients I’ve worked with receive their signs through butterflies, ladybirds, white flowers, or specific songs. These unique symbols are tailored to each individual, making the connection deeply personal and meaningful.

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—past, present, and future—our souls exist beyond these limitations, accessing other dimensions. It’s similar to the freedom we feel when dreaming, where the constraints of time and space fade away.
Through countless interactions with clients, evidence suggests that our souls intentionally choose to come to Earth for unique lessons. Earth offers us the opportunity to explore concepts like polarity, time, space, and physical matter. It’s as though our souls enroll in a “school” within this 3D reality. Reflecting on life’s challenges, you might wonder, “Why did I choose this?” Yet there is always wisdom underlying these choices.
In the spirit realm—where our souls rest between lives—heavier emotions like anger, hate, resentment, sadness, and frustration don’t 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’s called the “soul contract table.” Here, roles, lessons, and agreements are mapped out with the souls who will accompany us. These soul family members can appear as relatives, friends, colleagues, strangers, or even adversaries.
Sometimes, souls volunteer for particularly challenging roles. For example, a messy ex-boyfriend might teach you what you don’t want in love, helping you clarify what you truly value. These contrasts often lead to personal growth and self-awareness. Souls who take on such challenging roles are often regarded with deep respect for their contribution to your learning.
The ultimate intention is to gain insight, raise your energetic frequency, and manifest the life you desire—all 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 (though these contracts can be completed early, creating space for new connections or guides). Others see their role as a service for 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 encountered someone you’d describe as ‘spiritually asleep’? Observing how they navigate this reality can be fascinating. These individuals often keep their soulful guidance at arm’s length, finding comfort in logic and relying solely on their five senses. It might seem as though they’ve never had a spiritual connection. However, knowing 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, when they enter this world, shines with a radiant light. Their innocence and curiosity reflect both vulnerability and wisdom, untainted by the fears and constraints the world may later impose. At this stage, their sixth sense remains vibrant, and their hearts are wide open, ready to embrace all that life has to offer.
It’s not unusual to see a toddler engaging and giggling at what seems to be nothing in an empty room. While it’s easy to dismiss this as a conversation with imaginary friends, it’s often a loved one in the spirit world—perhaps a grandparent—who is keeping them entertained.
As part of a greater cosmic plan, there comes a moment for each of us when we stand at a crossroads in our connection to the spiritual realms. Do we hold on to our profound connection with our intuition, sixth sense, and spiritual awareness? Or do we ‘grow up,’ conforming to a world that values logic and the tangible, placing trust solely in the five senses?
This transformation is strikingly similar to the journey of Robin Williams’ character, Peter Pan, in Hook. After leaving Neverland, Peter forgets his true identity and the adventures he shared with the Lost Boys. Consumed by adulthood, he becomes a workaholic lawyer, distancing himself from the carefree and adventurous spirit of his youth. This shift symbolizes the loss of childhood innocence and imagination, and the challenge of reconciling the pressures of adulthood with the joy and wonder of one’s inner child. Is it any surprise that those who feel like Peter Pan often seek a spiritual awakening when the material world leaves them burned out and unfulfilled?
The crossroads many of us encounter often occur between the ages of two and seven. At this stage, a familiar guide may engage with a child in an enigmatic, shadow-like manner. The child is presented with a choice: Will they remain open to the wonder in the shadows, or will external influences, like a parent’s fears, cause them to shut down this connection?
Regardless of whether you’ve remained spiritually open or fear caused you to disconnect, the time is now 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. Similar to the effect of negative people in our lives, being in the presence of low-vibrational beings can leave you feeling depleted.
If you’re experiencing ongoing challenges such as low energy, self-pity, health problems, financial difficulties, or prolonged suffering, it might indicate the presence of negative influences around you. Some refer to these as “attachments.” Removing these energies and cleansing your home and aura is a specialized 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, disengage from drama and scarcity, and cultivate a sense of 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 using their names strengthens our bond. It allows me to call upon them more easily whenever I need their guidance.
To discover their names, I clear my mind and simply ask. Over the years, I’ve learned to trust the first name that comes to mind. You can often sense the energy of their personality—some guides may feel serious and grounded, while others might come across as playful and curious.
- 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 working with clients.
- I have a Guide named Pua who comes from Hawaii and sits in when ever I’m doing healings.
- I have a business Guide named Yan who I knew in 227BC when the Great Wall of China was built.
- I have a Guide named Jane who has a clipboard and is responsible for all the other guides on the team. The list goes on.
