Spirit guides have been around all of us since humans appeared on the earth. Some can sense their guide or guides and others don’t nor fully understand just what a spirit guide is.
The spirit guides reside in a different dimension on the astral plain. They operate on a higher vibrational frequency and can be reached through meditation, hypnosis, ritual or any sort of energy raising actions. The guides are with us to help us through life. They are not here to serve us or us to serve them; it is a symbiotic relationship of partnership. If we ask them nicely for answers, it will usually be provided. You are after all talking to your higher self.
Many children have experienced spirit guides through imaginary friends, or what the parents refer to as imaginary friends. Most psychologists will say the imaginary friend is due to loneliness of the child or as a part of play. But psychologist also state that children with imaginary friends will sometimes give them the personality they lack or will talk to the friend about things that are stressful or upsetting to the child. Once the child grows into adulthood, the imaginary friend becomes less and less important although some do retain their friend, but learn to suppress them due to adults and peer-pressure.
Spirit guides are with us nearly all the time even if we choose to ignore them or are not in the habit of giving them a thought. They tend to approach us in a way that is familiar or comfortable to us, such as in a dream, during meditation, hypnosis and in human or animal form. Some believe the spirit guides are souls that have been here before leading lives as we do now. Because they were once human, they have their own identities and their own way of doing things.
In some religious beliefs, spirit guides are called guardian angles, but guardian angels are the same as spirit guides. We may have several spirit guides depending on the life situation and we may have a master guide, like that of an arch-angel to help us when needed who joins with us at birth and stays with us throughout life.
To contact your spirit guide, you should sit quietly with no distractions, relax, clear your mind and focus. This possibly could be done when going to bed for the night. It is not necessary to speak out loud. Spirit guides generally use telepathy to communicate because thought has its own energy. Mentally say hello. Wait for answer or a greeting, but don’t expect this to happen immediately. Again as with anything worth doing, it takes time and patience. Relax. Continue with your questioning. It is easier to limit your questions to yes and no answers. When first starting to contact your guides, keep it simple.

I am your good right arm. I am your Assistant. I assist you. You assist Me. We reciprocate right and left. We are so One that it is hard to know where you begin and I leave off.
Of course, I never leave off. I AM always. And here's the wonderful thing: You are too.
You think you are ephemeral, and yet you are nothing of the kind. The idea that you start and stop is a myth. Of course, it happens to be a myth you hold to be true. The myth that life ends is a myth you hold on to. It makes you teary-eyed to think that you will not always be, and yet it is fiction that stimulates your tears. It is a sweet sadness when you think you will be erased from the face of the Earth. What you think is where your thoughts are. Swerve your thoughts over to Mine.
You are a never-ending Being. You are a forever-living Being. Oh, yes, that you change residence, that is understood, yet at the same time, you are exactly where you have always been. It is a different ballgame when you step out of time and space. As dear as time and space are to you, they are the ephemeral, not you.
You have never left where you come from. You always carry Home with you. You are wholly in Heaven all the while you believe you are a passerby in the world. Beloveds, you are a passing thought in the world. You are a temporary human being. You are a permanent Being. You never skip your Beingness. You never die. You are caught in My Voice and in My Heart always. You are lodged with Me. You are forever. We are inseparably together.
I would not have it any other way. I like your companionship. I like it that we hold hands. I like being here for you Who are My Very Self.
You think of yourself as a little being, and you think of Me as a Big God, yet that is not how it is. It's just that I never waver from My Awareness, while you easily get distracted. But that's okay. Your awareness is growing. It is growing fast. Soon We will be the wondrousness of One actively in your eyes too. Soon you will begin to see, and We will blend in the most beautiful Wholeness that you can imagine. You cannot even imagine, beloveds. You are yet not able to dream the Vastness of Reality.
You may not quite have full trust in Me, and therefore not in yourself either. You may think that I am unreliable because I do not grant your every wish. The thing is that I see a bigger picture than you see. No matter how disappointed you may sometimes be, I do hold your interests at heart, and I too watch the flow of life. The difference is that I know you will be washed to shore, and you fear you may not.
When you know that I am watching over you, when you know that you cannot fall, when you know that We never part, and when you really feel Our closeness with an assurance born of love, and when you experience the simplicity of Our mutual devotion, what then would you have to be concerned about and worry over?
There is no dark. There is only light, and you live forever. Your hand clasps Mine, and I never let go. We swim together in the Ocean of Life. We have never stopped swimming. We choreograph the waves of the Ocean together. You find out that you are the Ocean, and you are its waves, and We are One Big Ocean encompassing the whole Universe and the Galaxies beyond.

10 Ways To Bring Spirit Into Your Relationships

10 Ways To Bring Spirit Into Your Relationships
by Avalon De Witt @ eaglespiritministry.com
Whether you want to deepen your marriage, attract a mate or just get along better with your boss, it always helps when you bring Spirit into your relationships. Many times we get caught up in "taking care of business" in relationships and we go through the motions, forgetting all about Spirit. When you bring Spirit to your relationships, you are drawing from a power that is infinite. How can we do that more? Here are some starters:
1) Listen - Really listen. Don't try to "do active listening," or any other listening technique. When you're concentrating on a technique, you're not listening. Just take in what the other person has to say. Receive the meaning of the message, without immediately jumping to respond to the message. Listening helps you connect with people. Spirit loves to show up when people are connecting.
2) Practice Non-judgment - You never know how something might serve the ultimate good in the long run. It is not up to us to decide that the other person is right or wrong, good or bad. This does not mean you cannot assess things in your relationships. You can assess whether someone is being sincere, honest, trustworthy and so on. We just don't have to assign a value judgment to that, by saying it is good or bad. It just IS. And what you make of it - is up to you.
3) Seek to Understand the Other - Don't worry about being misunderstood. When you drop your concern about that, and get curious about understanding the other person, two things happen. First, you stop stressing yourself about what others think of you. Second, you show the other person that they are important to you. When the other person sees that they are genuinely important to you, they will generally return the feeling. Not to mention, being able to understand another person just feels good, and feeling good always brings Spirit to relationships.
4) Be Honest - If someone likes you for something that you're not, then it's not you that they like. Be who you are. Most people will respect you for your honesty, even if they don't agree with you. But don't go along with others just to please them, if it doesn't please you too. People will sense your discomfort and yet may not know why, which will create tension in the relationship where it's not necessary. Be true to yourself by speaking up and telling the truth about who you are and what you desire. I always say, "If you're not being true to yourself, you're not being true to anyone else."
5) Eat Together - You've got to break bread together. There is no substitute for sitting down and sharing a meal with a person. Animals will not eat when they are threatened. When you eat with someone, you are showing them that you trust them. And when two people are trusting each other, THERE is Spirit.
6) Stop Analyzing the Relationship - Stop analyzing, stop worrying about the future of your relationship and just BE in the relationship. Enjoy the relationship here and now. The here and now - is your bridge to the future. If you are spending your todays worried about your tomorrows, you're not here, in today, doing what it takes to build something that can endure.
7) Say Thank You - The more you are thankful, the more you will have to be thankful for. And of course, people usually like being thanked. Saying thank you is like returning what's been given to you, with interest, except it doesn't cost you anything. Most of the time, thanking someone will make you feel just as good as the other person feels hearing it, sometimes even better.
8) Look to See What You Can Learn - When we are open to learning, we are expanding. When we are expanding, we are growing. When we are growing, that's the work of Spirit. There is always something more for us to learn. When we stop learning, we stop growing, and when we're not growing, we're dying. Learn and live!
9) Be Selfish - I'm talking Selfish, NOT selfish. Self with a big "S," not a small one. What you are doing in the relationship needs to be more important to you than what the other person is doing in the relationship, if you want Spirit to show up. You can't control the other person. You can't always know what another person's intentions are. But you can control yourself, and you can know your own intentions. When you concentrate on your own desires, intentions and actions, rather than those of the other person, you are taking responsibility for your part in the relationship. No one else can do that for you.
10) Know that You Are Beautiful - The spirit inside of you came from The Divine Light. If you are alive, you have light inside of you, and that light is beautiful. When you see the beauty in yourself, it's easier to see it in others. Enjoy the beauty that is in you. Admire it. Let it make you smile, the way the beauty of a child or a sunset makes you smile. Your sense of beauty will become contagious.
Remember that the purpose of relationships is spiritual growth. Every interaction is one more opportunity to become more of who you truly are. Spirit is the breath of life in relationships. Without it, we fall short of connecting with others. Bring more of Spirit to your relationships and watch how much easier it is to get along and to find fulfillment in all your interactions!
