Getting in Touch with Your Spirit Guide
You don't need to succumb to fear and loneliness in the darkest moments of a personal crisis. By reaching out and connecting with your spirit guide, you will find a way to overcome the challenges of your present moment and find your way forward. As you get in touch with your spirit guides, you will come to know and understand that some spirit guides are with you throughout your entire life, and some will come and go as you learn the necessary lessons from different experiences.
Unlike a guardian angel, a spirit guide serves to guide, direct and inspire you to grow. This purpose means that they aren't always a source of comfort. They are here to get you going in the right direction and growth is rarely an easy or comfortable place to be. This fact also means that your spirit guides serve a critical function in your life and can make the way forward a bit smoother if you take the time to check in with them before the going gets hard.
How to Extend an Invitation to Your Spirit Guide
Embrace the Quiet
You must learn to listen to the quiet to hear your spirit guide. Disconnect from your everyday life and spend time in meditation. By calming your mind and body, you are telling your spirit guide that you are ready to listen. Meditation will also help you get to know your mind and body on a deeper level so that you are in a better position to recognize when your spirit guide is nudging you.
Ask for Introduction
Just like meeting a new person, introduce yourself to your spirit guide. While they already know you and much about your circumstances, you don't know them. Ask them their name and get to know them. This practice will help you learn about the role they are set to play in your life and what they have to teach you.
Get to Work
Spend some time "talking" to them through meditation. If that doesn't seem to be doing the trick for you, try writing your spirit guide a letter. Feel free to ask them questions or air your doubts about the direction of your life path.
Don't Forget to Listen
It's all well and good to reach out to your spirit guide, but don't forget to listen. Ask your questions and reach out and then embrace the quiet. Pay attention to what happens in your daily life and look for signs from your spirit guide. Repetition, new people, coming into your life or even the little voice inside your head can all be ways that your spirit guide is giving you answers to the questions you asked.
Remember, your spirit guides are here to give you direction and guidance throughout your life's journey. Getting to know your spirit guides makes their job much easier, which in turn can help you learn lessons quicker and smooth out some rough spots in your life.
