Spiritual Guidance: How
Angels and Spirit Guides Communicate With Us
Spirit is constantly
offering us signs and omens in our lives. But, we are often so blind
to them. It is not necessary to be a professional "psychic" in order
to receive information from Spirit. All of us, all the time are
given signs from God, from the world of Spirit. These signs are
usually ignored, or thought of as "just a coincidence."
When you ask your Spirit
Guides or Angels or God a question or for guidance, you WILL receive
an answer. Do not feel that unless you have fantastic visions or
hear a booming voice in your head that you plea has not been heard.
All questions are heard and all questions are answered. It may not
happen immediately, but it will happen. When you ask a question of
the Higher Powers, expect that you will receive an answer. But don't
sit around waiting for it. Go about your life, and be open to
receiving your answer.
Spirit works in many
different ways to reach us. If Spirit knows that we are not ready to
receive answers in a telepathic or clairvoyant way, they will find
other means to reach us.
The signs, the omens, the
guidance is all around us, all the time. All we need do is open
ourselves to receiving it. Look around your world, really look at
it, pay attention. Do not go about your life blindly.
Some examples of the many
different ways that Spirit gives us an answer or sign may be:
~ The first song you hear
when you turn on the radio. Or a song that keeps repeating in your
head over and over. You know that song that you "can't get out of
your head."
~ You turn on the television
and someone is speaking about the same concern that you are having.
~ You overhear a
conversation between other people that has meaning to your
condition.
~ You may see or hear
something repeatedly. An example is constantly seeing the number
"11". You may see "11" on a clock, a label, a license plate. Seeing
"11" many times means that something spiritual is happening or about
to happen in your life.
~ You open to a page in a
book and your eyes fall upon a paragraph that has meaning to your
current situation.
~ Maybe you are fretting
about a situation with another person, and you decide you are going
to call them and "have it out". But, every time you dial their
number they are not home or the line is busy. This could be Spirit
telling you that now is not the right time to talk about the
situation. Or, perhaps you are not in the right frame of mind to
talk to that person. Possibly you don't know whether or not to talk
to someone about an issue and the phone rings and it's the person
you were thinking about.
~ Signs often come from the
animal world. Maybe every time you leave the house, a crow flies by
and caws, or you constantly see two squirrels chasing each other.
~ You are about to buy
something that you really desire, but don't necessarily need. When
you go to pay, your credit card mysteriously won't work or you will
have forgotten your checkbook. Spirit could be telling you that the
item is not beneficial for you, or it could be that the purchase
could put a stress on your finances.
~ You're in a hurry to get
somewhere, you're racing along in your car, and every light you come
to is red. You would probably start cursing and driving even faster.
But, perhaps Spirit is telling you to slow down. Maybe you are being
told to stop and think about your actions. Maybe Spirit is trying to
prevent you from having an accident.
Once I was hiking in the
woods and got very lost. I could not find a path back to the road.
So, I asked Spirit to please guide me out. Moments later, a crow
appeared in the sky above me and circled a few times. Then the crow
flew in a certain direction. I knew this was a sign, I followed the
crow and made it out of the woods quickly and with no problems.
Don't have expectations and
don't read into things. Just ask for guidance and allow it to
happen. Not everything you see or hear is a sign. But, if you are
open and receptive, the signs will be clear. Through practicing the
act of asking for guidance and following it, you will soon
understand when you are receiving an answer from Spirit and when you
are not. The more often you ask for guidance and follow the guidance
given, the stronger the connection will be, and the guidance and
symbols will become much clearer.
When I go to a bookstore, I
ask my Angels and Spirit Guides to show me exactly what book would
be best for me at the time. I have always received an answer. You'd
be surprised how many times a book will literally fall of the shelf,
or someone I don't know recommends a book, or I just feel that I
should pick up a certain book and flipping through it I see it
contains exactly the knowledge I was seeking.
Many signs from Spirit will
come in a way that you will easily relate to and understand. If you
receive symbols that don't instantly "click" with you or you are
unfamiliar with, then get a good book on symbolism. For example, we
often receive signs from the animal world, but if you are not
familiar with the character of each animal you may miss the sign or
misunderstand it. In this case, you could find a book on animal
symbolism and look up the animal that is showing itself to you.
After a while, you will develop your own personal symbolism. For
example, if you constantly see a squirrel burying food in your yard
and soon after you receive a little money, it could be your sign
that when you receive extra money you should store it away for the
future. Don't always rely on a book to interpret a sign for you.
Books on symbolism are good resources, but ultimately it is what the
symbol means to you that is most important.
One of the oldest forms of
divination or seeking guidance is "bibliomancy." Originally, one
would hold the Bible and ask for guidance on a personal issue. Then
you would open the Bible at random, and without looking, place your
finger on the page. Reading whatever passage you pointed to would
provide the guidance you were seeking. You can try this any time and
you don't have to use the Bible. Pick any book that is inspirational
to you. Hold the book in your hands, ask God, your Spirit Guides,
your Angels to guide your hand to the right page and passage to
answer your question. When you feel ready, pick a page, point to a
passage and read it. See how it relates to your issue. You'll be
surprised how often the answer is right there, "at your fingertips."
If you ask for guidance, if
you ask for a sign, it will be given. Be patient and be open to
receiving the guidance. So often, we ask for a message from Spirit
and then are disappointed that we didn't receive guidance in some
"fantastic" way like flashing lights or neon signs. Be secure in
knowing that if you ask for guidance, it will be given, always. But,
you must be open to receiving the message in any form.
Remember that your guides
and angels are always around you, ready to assist you. But, they can
not and will not interfere with your life. That is not their role.
You must invite them in, you must ask for their guidance, then they
are more than happy to help you in any way they can.
Start today. Communicate
with your Spirit Guides and Angels, even if you cannot see or hear
them. Ask them for guidance on an issue that concerns you. Ask them
to show you a sign to guide your way, and then be open to receive
their guidance.
Blessings and love, Rev.
