Living your life connected to your Spirit Guide gives you all sorts of advantages, not the least of which is personal and private assistance along your own spiritual journey. It’s really like have a private assistant at your side, no strings attached, no judgement, no condemnation, no interfering, no expectation – just unconditional support all the time. You see, it is the duty of our Spirit Guides to help us along our spiritual journey of our Soul. When we first set out to embark on this lifetime, our Spirit Guide came with us. When we set out to experience the various other existences that we have already lived through in the physical world, our Spirit Guide went with us. You have a wonderful connection to your Spirit Guide, whether you know it or not – so why choose to not know it. It just seems so much more beneficial for you to know that this Spirit Being, coming from the highest order of Spirit Beings, has been and always will be, dedicated to you. There just is no other relationship that you will ever experience that will come anywhere near the perfection of the one you have with your Spirit Guide.
Yes, we do have other Spirit Guides who move through our lives. They are those beautiful Spirit Beings who have a specific objective for your life. We spoke about these in Week 1 where the question was asked :
Is it possible to share guides?
And the answer was and is : Yes, in that there are guides who have a specific purpose ie guides who specialise in helping us through grief, trauma, business ventures, emotional stress etc. And these are the guides that we feel moving in and out of our space. This can sometimes be quite confusing especially when we’re not really aware that they have been sent to us to help us with something specific and then when they leave, we believe that our guide has left us. But it is actually just the shared guide who has been with you when you needed them, and now have left you. And so it is that we can feel these guides moving in and out of our space and as I said, can mistake this process for having being sent a new guide and having a guide being removed from us.
I think I can safely say that we have established that you have one main Spirit Guide. We haven’t spoken too much about shared Spirit Guides and so I want to expand a little more on this subject. Our main Spirit Guide, for whom I hope you have already found a name, is the guide who is most closely connected to our very existence as a Spirit Being. It is our main Spirit Guide who will, through your request, enlist the help of a shared Spirit Guide.
You may find yourself going through a very difficult divorce. The emotions linked into this experience are sometimes not that easy to understand. Perhaps you felt tremendous anger and betrayal at the onset of these proceedings. But now that you’re moving through the process, you could find yourself disturbed by the great sadness that you may be feeling. When you speak to your Spirit Guide, you can ask them to send to you, a Spirit Guide who will help you to bring about a sense of calm and a sense of understanding why it is you feel as you do. You will become aware of the energy of this – for want of a better word, let’s call them a second a Spirit Guide. It can be a little disconcerting as you become accustomed to having a different energy around you. You will now have to discern between the two Spirit Guides, but know that even if your Spirit Guide takes a step back, in order to facilitate this meeting and collaboration with the second Spirit Guide, they are never far from you. You may just feel their energy a little less intensely.
You could be going through an experience of having lost a loved one. This is probably the most difficult experience that any of us will have to go through. Your Spirit Guide, being as compassionate as they are, could very well enlist the assistance of a Spirit Guide who is better equipped to help you through the mourning process. Once again, your Spirit Guide may take a bit of a back seat and it could be that you don’t feel their energy. You have to know that when you are going through particularly traumatic times, it’s really difficult to feel any energy from Spirit. So you may find yourself becoming aware that something in your energy field has changed and of course that would be because you are feeling the energy of the different Spirit Guide. But, at the same time, your loved one who is now in the Spirit Realm, will also draw close to you because they want to comfort you and let you know that they are okay. Thus you will find yourself feeling rather out of whack with all the different energies around you and you could feel quite abandoned by your Spirit Guide.
In 2017 I was unbelievably ill. I wrote an article about my near-death experience and you can find it on Spirit Connection website entitled, The Day I Almost Checked Out. I want to share an excerpt from that article with you, because it demonstrates how difficult it is, when you are experiencing a particularly challenging time in your life, to feel any connection to your Spirit Guide.
Parts of my memory around this day are somewhat blurred. It was the 21st October 2017. I had been in intensive care since July of that same year. During this time, I had experienced the removal of my gall bladder, fought my way through septicemia, had 12 ½ litres of water removed from my abdomen, only to find that I had abdominal TB. With all that was going on, I had been vomiting and had full on diarrhea for more than 6 weeks. To fight off the septicemia, I had been on long term treatment of five different anti-biotics as well all the other pain meds and my chronic medication. Then with the introduction of medication to fight the TB, I just got so sick. I couldn’t focus anymore. I had no idea, on a fully conscious level, of what was being done to me. I couldn’t follow properly which doctor was seeing me for what. I couldn’t tell the difference between the cleaning staff and the medical staff. All my organs had started to shut down and the greatest concern was my liver. I had become severely jaundiced. My children had been told by the doctor to expect the worst. To say that I was exhausted by the 21st October, is putting it lightly. I had not slept properly for months. By that day, I could not take any more and I decided it was time to go.
I spoke to my guide, Oshvaria, who I knew would be with me, but I was too weak to even feel her energy. I told her to take me, I was done, I just could not deal with being ill anymore. The night before was probably the worst night I had ever experienced. I felt like a caged animal, tied to a bed through a mainline drip which went directly into my jugular vein. With the heart machine constantly monitoring, wires all over the place, oxygen around my face. Machines beeping all the time. I have no words to describe the anguish I experienced. It was as if my whole world had become this moment, a moment where I was too ill to care, too ill to want to remain here on the earth and fight. My only thought was that if I could escape to a place that I know exists. One where there is no pain, one where the sun shines on your face all the time. One where I would be at peace, no more pain, no more confusion and no more having to struggle with this physical body that was giving up on me.
Somewhere within that fog that surrounded me, through the chaos of doctors and nurses working around me, making me comfortable, making sure that I did not die, I had a feeling that I had to hold on. Somewhere, somehow, reaching deep down into my very soul, I could hear the guides talking to me. In that moment, I felt safe, warm, loved, free, but at the same time, I had a realization that my children had just buried their father six months earlier. How could I do this to my children and my grandchildren? What a selfish thought! How could I expect them to deal with my death, just because I was too tired to bother trying to get better?
This was probably the furthest I have ever been from my Spirit Guide. There was certainly a part of me that thought that she had abandoned me. But I can truly say, that because I had, up to that point, been living my life so intensely connected to her, I knew deep within my heart that she would be there when I looked for her and of course she was. And so I want you to become aware that even in your most darkest of moments, your Spirit Guide will be with you. But not only then, they take such pleasure in the happiest of our experiences as well.
Living your life connected to your Spirit Guide, changes who you are. Somehow you just become so much more conscious of your thoughts, your actions, you reactions, your behaviour, how you treat others. I think it’s a little to do with feeling like you’re being watched all the time, but a miniscule percentage. It’s so much more the fact that living your life connected to your Spirit Guide, means that you’re living your life connected to yourself. Your awareness of the world around you is heightened and of course there’s an upside and downside to this. But I certainly believe that the upside outweighs the negative all the time. I could probably write an entire book on the benefits to your life of having your Spirit Guide walk alongside you, every moment of every day that you spend in this earthly existence.
It is your Spirit Guide who will help you to be born into this lifetime. It is your Spirit Guide who will lead you out again. As you journey together, they are in constant preparation of your space in the Spirit World, to welcome you back and to make you feel accepted and comfortable. And sometimes even without you knowing, when you spend time with them in sleep-state, you are constantly working with them to prepare your space. By now, you know that you could consciously do this with them too. Because even though it is that you will be going home, that space requires preparation for the new energies of your Soul. The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying is such an amazing book – I highly recommend that you read it. The entire philosophy of this book teaches you to live your life in preparation of your death. That preparation encompasses living your life according to the Spiritual aspects of your life and walking the path that you chose prior to coming into this existence.
Essentially what you are doing, is healing your Soul. The whole point of you as a Spirit Being, coming into an earthly existence and going through all the experiences that you live through, is to heal your Soul. That healing ensures that you evolve as a Spirit Being. Living your life in conscious awareness of your Spirit Guide, speeds up the process of the evolution of your Spirit Being, because it keeps you so close to staying on your chosen path.
