How do I know when my spirit guide or angel is talking to me?
This is an exercise that begins with the heart, not the mind. Many people listen to their Guides and Angles in their hearts as a quiet voice or perhaps as a thought. Understanding the difference between one of your thoughts and a message is discernment. The difference is subtle, which uses a different skill than seeing the difference between a can of soda and a glass of water. This ability begins on the inside away from the hustle and bustle of circumstances and the opinions of others.
The secret to success is trusting yourself to let in what you hear and believe it.
Your intuition is the internal skill set that plays an important role in this communication. An easy way to distinguish messages from thoughts is that the messages will always be positive and helpful. They can also provide warnings if there is danger. Messages may come in dreams or through signs of synchronous events; remember that there are no matches.
Your Guides and Angels know one thing about you that you often forget: “You are a Loved One and you are loved completely and fully.”
Your Guides and Angels will provide you with information and messages that will guide you, help you, resolve situations that cause you stress and anxiety, solve problems, and clarify mysteries. You have to open the door for them by exercising your inner confidence muscle. This is not the kind of trust you ask for to receive money in the mail or find your lover. No, this kind of trust is based on an inner resolve and comes from your heart without any conditional acceptance of this circumstance or this experience. This is trusting “you” for no reason and the benefit is internal waves of joy and satisfaction.
Do I have more than one Guide or Angel?
You can have dozens of Guides and Angels. They may be Ascended Masters or come from lifetimes you have lived, be someone you have met in this past lifetime, or be from another universe. They can also be animals or from the Nature Kingdom. Each of us has a Guardian Angel assigned to us at birth. All you have to do is call and they will be there for you. The trick is to remember to call them. They have so much unconditional love for you. At other times you have a Guide or Angel that is assigned to you for some protection, creativity or healing.
How do I know my Guide or Angel is talking to me?
It is easier to hear them speaking to you in your heart. You need to move your awareness from your mind to your heart to create an opportunity to listen. This involves three easy steps that you can do almost anywhere.
1. Establish an internal current of attention in your heartbeat for a minute or two. It is helpful to focus on your breath and stop thinking about this or that. Just listen to your breathing and the pulse of your heart.
2. Ask your Guides and Angels to be with you now. You don’t need his name to get started. Just ask inside or even verbally. “I ask that my Angels and Guides be with me now for my highest and best good.”
3. Be receptive. That means no doubts are allowed here. Listen to the impressions, voices and thoughts that resonate within you. Or, have a blank sheet of paper in front of you and allow yourself to write freely without thinking about what you’re writing. In other words, write down your impressions, voices, and thoughts. All of this will be positive and full of love, encouragement and Light.
Your Guides and Angels want to be at your service. They are available to you 24/7. Don’t hesitate to call them.
What is the benefit of listening to my Guides and Angels?
Your Guides and Angels have their Light to share with you. They have your best interest at hand and will help you live your life according to your heart’s deepest values. They are here for you to fulfill your heart’s desires: happiness, prosperity, joy, loving relationships, vibrant health, and fulfillment on all levels. They want you to avoid danger and will give you warnings.
For example, I have seen people’s guides and angels tell them to lower the temperature of their life, to do certain things. And, when people don’t follow that advice, they end up in an accident or in a painful situation that causes them to take it easy and slow down. Call your Guides and Angels frequently, they are here to help you, now.
So take heart when you are hurting, challenged by life or feeling alone. Know that you are not alone. There are countless loving spirit guides always with you closer than your own breath waiting to be called upon to serve you. Trust.
