Do we all have a Spirit Guide?

• The belief in spirit guides varies across cultures and spiritual traditions, but many hold that everyone has at least one spirit guide. Here are some perspectives to consider:

• Universal Presence
  • Gill believes that every person is born with a spirit guide or guardian angel that remains with them throughout their life.

• Multiple Guides:
  • It is also believed that people can have multiple spirit guides, each serving different purposes or appearing at various stages of life.  Ancestral guides, those from our family line, or our soul tribe.

• Evolving Guides:
  • Some believe that spirit guides can change over time, with different guides stepping in as needed based on a person’s growth and circumstances.

• Your Higher Self:
  • Another prospective is that your spirit guide is actually your higher self, your soul essence that has experieince many lives and resides within the universe. 

Access your guides through Spiritual Practice:

How to Connect with Your Spirit Guide:

• Meditation:
  • Regular meditation can quiet the mind and make it easier to sense or communicate with your spirit guide.

• Journaling:
  • Writing down your thoughts, dreams, and intuitions can help you recognise patterns and messages from your guide.

• Asking for Guidance:
  • Simply asking your spirit guide for help or clarity, either out loud or in your thoughts, can open the door to their assistance. As a human-being we have freedom of choice and free will, so you must ask for assistance, your guides cannot help without you asking. 

• Paying Attention to Signs:
  • Be mindful of synchronicities, intuitive nudges, and unusual occurrences that might be messages from your spirit guide. Gill's favorite sign is that of a feather in her path or seing repetative Angel numbers or being aware of subtle synchronicities.

• Dream Work:
  • Keeping a dream journal and reflecting on your dreams can reveal insights and guidance from your spirit guide.
