Halloween is a fun time to engage in costumes, pranks and ghost stories but it is also a reminder that there are supernatural forces all around us, if we only take the time to pay attention. Of course there will be always be skeptics who claim if they can’t see it then it doesn’t exist. However, almost everyone has experienced a sixth sense, a feeling of intuition or heard a ‘voice’ guiding them from danger. Believing in spirit guides doesn’t make you crazy, in fact it may help you lead a more happy and meaningful life.
So, what are spirit guides? For many the belief is that people who were close in life continue to lend advice and guidance even after they leave this world. Death doesn’t mean the end it simply signifies the next stage of a much larger picture. Loved ones who have passed on may still be in contact with you and lend valuable guidance that can help you navigate the many perils of this world.
For others, spirit guides can be reincarnations of their soul from a past-life. Psychics are often used to help contact these spirits and relay information to people who are trying to understand the coded messages they are receiving. Spirit guides don’t send texts or message you on Facebook, well, not usually. The signals people receive can come in many forms and most people will have difficulty interpreting these messages.
There are also others that have spirits from centuries ago working with them, sometimes from birth, while ascended masters such as Buddha, Jesus or St. Jermaine will be working with others. Depending on what your path in life is and what your goals are very often determine what spirit guides work with you.
Before we can begin to understand the messages being sent to us from spirit guides we first have to believe that they exist. If you don’t believe then all the knocking in the world won’t get you to open the door. Letting go of the pre-conceived notion that there are no such things as ghosts and spirits is the first step towards listening. When you accept that there is more to this world than meets the eye you open your mind, body and soul to a vast sphere of knowledge that can help guide you through life.
When you hear voices, are guided by a force greater than your own power or see apparitions that have meaning to you, instead of thinking you are hallucinating (what doctors would have you believe so they can charge you for an evaluation) consider the idea that you may be in contact with a spirit guide that is trying to tell you something.
