\u201cSpirit guides can help you accomplish and achieve success in every area of your life by gently and consistently guiding and nudging you along your soul journey. Because we all have free will and free choice, you can decide to go against the current, and that is when your guides can call on others in the spirit world to give you resources in the way of people and finances, insight and love. We, however, have to be open and willing to accept it. Once there is recognition of assistance, even if there isn\u2019t an awareness of who it is coming from, then doors can and will open wide.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"spiritguide\"<\/a>We all have spirit guides whether recognized or not. One of the most frequent questions that I receive in my office is \u201cHow many guides do I have?\u201d followed by \u201cWhat is his\/her name?\u201d \u00a0The term Spirit Guide refers to one or more entities that watch, teach, heal, and help us on our physical journey. Communication with our guides comes in different forms, but typically it is through telepathy, clairaudience and clairvoyance. Have you ever woken up to your name being called, or saw a shadow out of the corner of your eye? Or just felt like you should take a different route instead of your normal one? More than likely that was your spirit guide. We often give the credit to our loved ones on the Other Side, or angels, and it isn\u2019t that they don\u2019t help out too, they do, but it is our spirit guides who have a humble (and frustrating) job of helping us to fulfill our highest potential while allowing free will and free choice to stay intact. Each guide has a specific purpose to our life path. If you are going through health issues, you would have a guide who had that same ailment, or was possibly in the healing field before their passing. If you are in school for a certain major, your guide may have been an expert in that field. As we transition through our lives, our guides transition too depending upon what we need at that certain time. When I was thirteen years old I had the most unusual spirit guide that appeared to me \u2013 Edgar Allan Poe. It took me over thirty years to admit that, even to my own husband, and not before I wrote the book\u00a0Forevermore<\/a>\u00a0that will be coming out on October 7th, the 165th anniversary of Poe\u2019s death; a death which has gone down in the history books as one of the most speculated deaths ever \u2013 that is until October 7, 2014 when I share his story. Forevermore \u2013 Guided in Spirit by Edgar Allan Poe<\/a>\u00a0tells the story of my experience with him as a Spirit Guide, but the book also helps you discover your own guides and how you might be able to make their job easier, and in turn your life calmer. Until then, I would love to give you some suggestions now.<\/p>\n

\u00a07 Ways to Help Your Helpers<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \u00a0Listen to your heart\u00a0and make appropriate changes that will help you lead you closer to your goal. If things feel\u00a0wrong, then probably something is wrong.<\/li>\n
  2. Don\u2019t cause chaos\u00a0when chaos isn\u2019t in the picture. Often people don\u2019t know what to do when there isn\u2019t drama, and yet beg for a drama-filled life. Don\u2019t create chaos, enjoy the calmness.<\/li>\n
  3. Have a clear vision. Or at least as clear as you can get. If you want a relationship, don\u2019t be wishy washy about wanting a relationship for fear that you won\u2019t receive a relationship. If you want a new job, don\u2019t pretend you don\u2019t.<\/li>\n
  4. Take action\u00a0instead of finding a reaction. So often the goal is lost because of impatience. Moving forward through action is so much more fulfilling than festering. Place yourself in the flow of action with the place and people that you see within your vision.<\/li>\n
  5. Forgive yourself. Sit down and write yourself a letter. Let the scars heal for once and for all. We can\u2019t change the mistakes we made from the past. But we can keep moving forward to make our beautiful future.\u00a0Forgiveness is the remedy. It doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re erasing the past, or forgetting what happened. It means you\u2019re letting go of the resentment.<\/li>\n
  6. Appreciate\u00a0you and all the things around you.<\/li>\n
  7. Time Outs. Take time outs to clear your head. It helps to re-balance you so that the monster called impatience doesn\u2019t rear its ugliness. One of my favorite quotes is \u201cSpend time doing strange things with weird people\u201d. I have embraced this in my own life and have to say that it makes life much more interesting, and more times than not, much more fun!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How You Know Your Guides Are Around<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. You have a gut feeling.<\/li>\n
    2. You have a shiver that goes down your spine.<\/li>\n
    3. Someone tells you information that you need at the very same time and they know nothing that is going on in your life.<\/li>\n
    4. You offer advice to someone else that is the advice that you need for your own life.<\/li>\n
    5. You see repeated numbers or symbols.<\/li>\n
    6. You are visited by an animal in nature that is no mistaking that it is a message.<\/li>\n
    7. You see a shadow out of the corner of your eye.<\/li>\n
    8. You hear your name being called while sleeping or falling asleep.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      In the end, you don\u2019t need to know your guide\u2019s names, or know how many guides you have, just know that you have helpers and that you aren\u2019t alone in your journey. When I was on Darkness Radio last week (you can listen here \u2013 click on 8\/21<\/a>), Tim, one of the hosts, asked if you could choose three famous spirit guides, who would they be and why? Some suggestions I heard in chat were Walt Disney, Abe Lincoln, Michael Jackson, Nelson Mandela, Anne Frank, etc. \u00a0I would love to hear who you would want by commenting underneath!<\/p>\n
