Spirit Guides - Who Are They?
A spirit guide is thought to be a highly evolved spiritual source of energy that is said to protect and inform, often providing foresight to those who know how to listen.
Guides, sometime known as guardian angels, are considered benevolent, protective sources of advice, knowledge, psychic information and love.
The term control is used for a spirit that is channelled from the spiritual plane through a psychic’s mind so he or she can advise a querant.
The Greeks, among other ancient civilizations, including many Native American tribes, believed that each person has an individual guardian angel, which could also appear in animal form.
Traditionally, American Indians regard the guide as a specific class of spirit that, once acquired through a vision or a dream, continues to help by providing specific powers, abilities – including – clairvoyance – and the knowledge of healing powers.
Although there is no scientific evidence of the existence of guides, psychics say that everyone has them and they are always ready to assist their own people. Spirit guides are said to have lived many times on the earth plane and are much more highly evolved than human beings. According to psychics although a guide is there to assist, it will never interfere in a human’s life without a specific request or invitation.
The guide can take on any form the psychic wishes to see. As an example, if the psychic expects to see the guide dressed as an Indian fakir, that is how the guide will appear.
Some psychics believe that we all have a number of guides, with one guide overseeing our entire life on this planet. The others, helping guides, are also there to help when there is a specific need, such as in healing or in a time of transformation.
To connect with your guide, it's best to find a quiet spot in which to clear your mind and meditate.
All you need do then is to ask for the guide’s presence, and if you “know” by a feeling that you are no longer alone, the guide has responded to your request.
Many psychics communicate with their guides through tools such as the Tarot, the pendulum predictions, meditation on crystals or just by talking.
Guides can also be channelled through a psychic through a direct voice medium or by visions, smells, tastes or sounds.
Before a reading, most psychics call on their guides to provide a connection with the information available in the ethereal plane.
Guides are also referred to as archangels, spiritual guides, guardian angels, joy guides, doorkeepers, healers, teachers and protectors.
