Spirit Guides: Understanding their Role in Your Life

The comments of my guides will be quoted.

Is a Spirit Guide an Ancestor? Can it be an Animal? Is it someone you've incarnated with in a previous lifetime?

WELL...

"A Spirit Guide is a being of light. They are your friends on the other side, supporting you in various ways throughout your life. Some have been with you since birth, while others come to assist during specific phases, such as a breakup, a job change, or a move. You have different guides for different reasons, and it's important to focus on the guidance they provide rather than trying to identify each one. Some guides may accompany you your whole life, even if you don’t consciously know them. Their job is still being done. Don’t get too attached to knowing who they are; instead, focus on how they influence and assist you in your life."

"For example, Michael's great-grandmother guides him. She has supported him in developing his mediumistic abilities, but she doesn’t consider herself his Spirit Guide. While she offers perspective, she doesn't directly influence his life path or readings. She provides guidance occasionally, but generally doesn't involve herself in his everyday matters. Michael, would you like to share your experience?"

Michael's Experience:

"Of course! I often have these quiet meetings with my Spirit Guides and loved ones. I light a candle, invite them to join me, and I’m always greeted with their presence. I associate different colors with the guidance they offer, which helps me understand what they’re focusing on. I’ve learned some of their names and received descriptions of their appearance, but I find the colors more meaningful in interpreting their messages. Loved ones show up occasionally, but I don't perceive them in colors—they tend to appear to me through feelings or sometimes physical descriptions. I also sense their aura, which gives me insight into their personality, but not necessarily their role as guides."

Colors and Their Meanings:

• Red Guides focuses on physical health.

• Green Guides are associated with self-love and emotional healing.

• Yellow Guides bring high energy and focus on happiness and raising your vibration.

• Purple Guides deal with spirituality and intuition.

• Blue Guides guide you in freedom, leadership, and stepping into your power.

• Brown Guides are rare but offer deep insights into life purpose and the meaning of life.

• Pink Guides focus on love and relationships.

• Orange Guides address career and business matters.
  

On Spirit and Knowledge:

"Contrary to popular belief, Spirit is not all-knowing. Just like you, Spirit learns and evolves. We have lessons to learn, and different guides offer varying levels of knowledge. Some teachings may feel old-fashioned, while others are more modern. We also learn through you. Your experiences, challenges, and perspectives help us grow. Sometimes, even Spirit can be wrong. Those closer to the light have broader perspectives, while some guides may have a narrower view. Only Source is all-knowing, and even Spirit has limitations."

On Free Will and Guidance:

"Your guides will never interfere with your free will. While many people may blame God for their struggles, often they fail to recognize how their choices have brought them to this point. As guides, our role is to gently steer you toward the best path for your growth. The best path isn’t always the easiest. Human minds often associate ease with the right choice, but challenges can be the most rewarding. Most of you have overcome obstacles you thought you couldn’t, and looking back, you might see how those challenges shaped you for the better. We do not want you to become overly dependent on us for guidance. We will not give advice if we feel it will prevent you from trusting your own intuition and making your own decisions. Our role is to support, not to live your life for you. Michael, would you like to share your perspective on this?"

Michael’s Perspective on Guidance:

"There have been times when I’ve asked my guides for help making a decision. Their response is often, 'Give it time,' or they may encourage me to reflect and look deeper within myself to find the answer. These moments are rare but valuable. In those instances, I believe they are still guiding me, teaching me to trust myself and find what I truly want. Spirit is big on encouraging you to choose what makes you happy, as long as it’s healthy and safe."

Final Words from the Guides:

"Don’t ever feel as though your guides have abandoned you or that we aren’t listening. We are always present. However, there are times when we step back to give you the space to figure things out on your own. You may feel uncertain, like you're walking on shaky ground, but this is for a reason. Focus less on your mind and more on your heart. Trust your feelings, and you will find your way. We are here to help guide you through life, not to live it for you. Trust in your inner guidance, and you will never regret your decisions."
