Spiritual Guidance From The Other Side: 7 Tips To Connect And Receive Insight

The expectation or hope of dramatic, obvious
contact with a spiritual guide or guides too often
leads to disappointment. Much emphasis has been
placed on spirit guide contact by many spiritual
authors, but frankly, we believe your higher-self
should receive more attention.

Below are seven tips for gaining authentic spiritual
guidance.

1. It’s very important to note that not all “guides”
offer absolute truth and wisdom just because they
are not in a physical body. Some have strong biases
and may not be objective with their advice to you.

It’s easy to mistake a disincarnate soul (someone
who died but did not go to “the Light” for a variety
of reasons) or a mischievous or dark entity for a
“guide.” If the guide offers input that sounds
impartial or prejudiced in any way, doesn’t feel
uplifting or of a higher vibration, or feels negative
and gives negative sounding advice (e.g., telling
you to do something that would incur karma),
demand that it leave and ask for spiritual cleansing
help from whomever you pray to.

For example, if you make contact through a ouija
board, pendulum, or some other means with an
energy who claims to have been someone famous,
such as Elvis, be wary. Even if it really is a
deceased, famous personality, there is no
guarantee that the information imparted will be
truthful and non-subjective. Besides, it’s common
for dark entities to play such games.

2. Everyone perceives spiritual guidance differently.
Some hear (clairaudience), some see (clairvoyance),
some just know (claircognizance), some feel
(clairsentience), some taste or smell, and some
experience various combinations or all of the above
(clair-all). This is true with past life recall also. If
you just know or feel, you may not directly hear or
see your guides or past lives.

Although you may very well have one (or more)
main guardian angel or guide, it’s likely that most
people are not supposed to have a consistent, direct,
conscious link to him or her while incarnated. Why,
you ask? If you could pick up your spiritual
telephone and had an invisible, on-call advisor to
give you direct answers, 100% sure-fire direction
any time you needed it, this would be cheating;
you would not learn the lessons you’ve incarnated
to experience.

Furthermore, we agree that help from angels of the
Light and ascended master guides is available to
many, but the insight you receive may be so subtle
that you won’t be able to identify much about the
source, other than to know that it feels genuine and
pure.

3. It’s entirely possible, in our opinion, that many
people have created, in their mind, a name and image
of the helpful spiritual energy they call their guide.
We don’t see anything wrong with this, as long as it’s
only to identify the energy.

4. We don’t feel that associating a name with
spiritual insight or discovering the name of a guide
is important because it may not always be a guide
from which you are deriving information, and it’s
easy to become dependent on a guide.

5. Receiving outside help is great when needed, but
relying on yourself as much as possible in meditation
by connecting with your subconscious mind and your
higher-self is usually best. Your subconscious mind is
where all past and present life memories are stored,
along with all fears and defenses. Your higher-self is
also your link to your super-conscious, or all that is.
Some say it’s a direct connection to God, your
god-self.

6. If you meditate regularly and connect with your
higher-self, you will have all the help you need, which
may sometimes include the help of other-dimensional
guides of the Light. All you have to do is focus on the
dilemma or question, and if you are meant to know the
answer, you will know it, when you are meant to
realize it, one way or another.

Through years of practicing meditation, we regularly
receive flashes of insight and the answers to questions
by detaching just enough from the conscious mind to
allow higher-self insight to flow to the doorstep of
consciousness. Sometimes it seems as if the answers
are waiting there for us to perceive.

7. Meditation is so important for self-awareness and
stress reduction. Develop and practice it as a regular
discipline and you will benefit in many ways,
including receiving regular spiritual guidance and
the ability to discern cosmic noise from divine
insight.

In summary, we believe it’s to your advantage to put
aside the desire to commune with specific spiritual
guides and instead focus on becoming or remaining
grounded and centered, and accessing your inner
awareness and your higher-self.
