I bet some of you reading have many pre-conceived notions of certain words as they come to your mind, at least I know I did and now not so much. I bet when I say the word psychic or medium (like previously posted) or other words such as spirit guides and angels we all have some feelings about them. We are entitled to believe the way that works for us but I am here to bust some myths and educate about what works for me and how I believe. Let’s talk Angels first since I am sure most can relate to them over spirit guides. Angels are very universal to all faiths so they are a lot easier to discuss with just about everyone. In a 2015 poll, 77% of Americans believe in angels or 8 out of 10 people. Is that shocking to some or does that sound pretty accurate? Considering all the different belief systems and faiths out there, it sounds pretty high to me. Plus, most people believe they have a guardian angel or even two protecting them in life—I know I do! Surprisingly, not all people believe in angels and we shouldn’t judge them for that. I had some childhood ideas about them as well and most have stayed pretty true but now my viewpoint has shifted some. There are conflicting stories all over and whatever you believe, is right for you. Some say they had mortal bodies while others say they have never. Some view them with wings and yet some say they are energy and light. Angels are always around but only will assist if called upon. They are those protectors in life and death situations and help us transition to the after-life. You can even call upon those Archangels as well! I do think culture and the media try to guide us with what “fits” in our human world. This means they are represented in a way we can relate and understand. I bet you can shock a lot of folks by saying they don’t have wings! Isn’t that what most of us have come to know our whole lives? Of course since a ball of energy or light is way too difficult to depict on television or the movies. However you choose to connect to angels in your life, it is respected and honored just by the fact that you believe……
Now onto those spirit guides since they are a little more tricky to comprehend with some doubters out there. First of all, just remember that everything is connected and directed by a higher power. Some say God, Source, Creator, Light, or any other words that mean the same thing. I have come to know we all have “helpers” assisting us throughout our lives. Second, every time we ask for help in any way, it is heard. I realize most will just connect to God and that is o.k. but I believe there are many other beings who hear us and respond in ways that are for our best good. Yes, God or Creator is everywhere and knows everything but don’t you think for just a little that God sends others to guide us? I compare this to a football metaphor. Imagine God or a Creator being the owner of a team and everyone else filters down the line. You have the General Manager, the Head Coach, all the other coaches, and so on. Who wouldn’t want as much help as possible from anyone they can? I know I would. Again, it is all about what you believe but sometimes it helps to keep an open-mind to possibly educate yourself on a new idea once in a while. I bet most would agree that we have our ancestors guiding us and we all know someone in our family who has passed on that we can connect with.
There are part-time guides that can assist us with projects and believe me when I say how without Warrior, I would not have a book at all. There are helpers, teachers, animals, and so many that can and will inspire you everyday. Yes, they are connected to the Universe which in turn is God or a Creator but they report back just like on that football team. I find it all so very fascinating and compelling and when you have experiences that relate, you will understand. I am not trying to push a certain belief system or religion on anyone but just trying to inform readers of my journey and what I have learned. You can find many books, websites, blogs, articles, videos, and more information on spirit guides if you are willing to expand your way of thinking. I mentioned Sonia Choquette and her book– Ask Your Guides which depicts a chapter called: “Your Helpers.” She addresses celebrities in the spirit world by stating: ” Invoking famous people to help you may seem like a bold or outrageous idea, but why not? Those souls took their talents to a masterful level and are more than willing to share what they’ve learned from the Other Side.” There are so many wonderful authors I have read who state the same thing and who address other types of guides as well.
I do hope you can find out as much as possible and always continue learning. The topic of angels and spirit guides is highly debatable but like with anything else, your belief system will guide you and anything connecting you to that Higher Power is the right way for you.
