Spirit Guides

[Kathi B.]

Myfreaky --

Yes, spirit guides are for real.  You may wish to think of them in the context of your guardian angel(s).  We all have them.

Whether you need to be aware of them or not is a matter of yourself and where you are at spiritually.  Sometimes people don't need to know that there's someone there helping them.  And some people need that assurance.  Developing a communication depends upon the need for it.  If you need that, then you will learn to communicate with them and them with you.

Much to my surprise, I've learned that not all spirit guides have the same personality!! They don't all work the same way!  Like humans, some are much more extroverted and willing to be blatantly part of the life of a human, while others (no matter how much you might coax or whine) just do not want to be a focal point of your life, and prefer to work subliminally with you, i.e., behind the scenes as that little voice you might hear in the head from time to time, or a strange coincidence that saves you from being in the wrong place at the right time!

I am no expert but the basic path to see if you can open up your conscious self is by meditation. Then perhaps you will receive guidance and/or a more direct sense of relationship. It certainly isn't a matter of rubbing a genii's bottle and having your spirit guide show up like I DREAM OF JEANNIE.

One of my close friends claims his spirit guide WANTED a direct relationship and talks to him. He has even seen visions of what this being looks like, or at least in a past life. But my friend really had nothing to do with this, except being open to it (instead of afraid) when it happened. He just happens to have a rather aggressive guide while some seem (in human terms) rather laid back or reticent. So just remain mentally open, which is a byproduct of meditation. Don't be tempted to try any occult magical rites to manifest a presence, since you might get something far different than your spirit guide!

I have been searching for my spirit guide(s) for some time now, and I feel that I am now aware that my main spirit guide is my great grandfather (who I never met).  I have had psychics give me subtle clues, and this morning I heard his name being said in my head over and over as I woke up.

Can someone help me out here?  Are spirit guides for real?  What is their purpose if so?  What can I expect from one?  How can I form a relationship with one?  Communicate?

I have a feeling that mine is trying to get through to me.  How can I make this process easier?

Any info will be appreciated!

Thanks,
