For those not familiar, what is a spirit guide?
A spirit guide is not easy to define, but the best way I’ve found to explain it is to describe it as a helpful presence. That can take the form of a being, as I personally see them and discuss them in my book, or simply as a strong feeling of connection to something greater than yourself. A spirit guide can even just be deep intuition. The good news is there is no right or wrong answer because everyone experiences Spirit differently.
What are some of the more common signs for a spirit guide?
There are all kinds of signs, from the very subtle to loud and clear. They can appear absolutely anywhere and all that is required is that a person keeps themselves open to the possibility they will receive one. For example, a very common sign is seeing a feather, usually in a place that’s unexpected. A feather is your spirit guide's way of letting someone know they are supported, protected and loved. But the signs aren’t only objects. A sign can be a sound, like a bell, to get your attention about something, or even a smell.
What are some of the misconceptions that people have about spirit guides?
One misconception is that spirit guides can be evil. Some people fear connecting with their spirit guide because they don’t want to let dark forces into their life. I can assure you, the spirit guides assigned to you throughout your life are nothing but positive entities of light. They will never hurt someone and are only here for their human’s highest good. Another misconception is that spirit guides control our lives or make decisions for us. In my experience, they offer gentle guidance, but we always retain our free will and the ability to choose our own path.
How does it change one’s life to be connected with their spirit guide?
When a person connects with their spirit guides, they no longer feel alone. They are supported and loved, with helpful nudges and signs to help guide them through life. There is a lot of power in being in touch with intuition, connectedness and higher guidance. By communicating clearly with spirit guides, doors open and opportunities present themselves. For example, if a person is seeking a soulmate and expresses that desire, their spirit guide will help lead them to that person. It’s as simple as asking and believing.
What is your background and what led you to learn about spirit guides?
My background is not spiritual, but rather scientific, and it took me decades to embrace my spiritual side. Even now, I am at times a skeptical person, but my spirit guides are patient and I always return to faith in them. I can’t pinpoint when exactly I learned about spirit guides, but through spiritual study and workshops, it became clear to me that they were present in my life. Looking back, I can see many moments of intuition, synchronicity, and guidance that I dismissed at the time but now recognize as part of an ongoing conversation with the Universe.
