Spirit GuidesEvery person who incarnates does so with an entourage of spirit guides, souls who are themselves not currently incarnating and agree to serve us from the higher dimensions. Of course, when we are between incarnations, we return the favor for them and serve as spirit guides to them. So, in addition to your soul and spirit (i.e., that fragment of soul that embodies in the physical plane), you also have a team to guide you and strive to keep you flying according to your flight plan. The spirit guide team members work together under the coordination of a ‘life counselor.’The mix and membership of the team changes during your lifetime, as you grow and your needs change. Also, ‘specialist’ guides may pop in to help you with a particular project, say, writing a book, starting a company or planting a garden. But they can only guide, and cannot do the work for you or provide the discernment you yourself must develop. In addition to your life counselor, the basic make-up of your team may include the following: • An energy spirit guide, who works with the energies around you and arranges synchronicities. This is often a soul with many Native American incarnations. • An alchemist, who works with your body at the atomic level. • A spiritual advisor, who strives to help you see the spiritual nature of everything around you. • A guide to keep you light when you would otherwise get too serious. • A relationship guide, to help you through the quagmires that relationships can often become. In a spiritual society, children would be taught about their guides and introduced to them by psychic mediums, so the children can be as effective as possible as they grow and mature. Communication with Guideshose of us who are psychic have ongoing, two-way conversations with our guides, but what can the rest of us do? First, know that your guides are fully aware of your thoughts and emotions, so your talking to them is unnecessary. However, formulating a specific question or request and speaking it out loud may help you achieve clarity.Having spoken to your guides, either collectively or to a specific one, listen. Their answer can come in many ways, and you must stay alert and aware. Suppose you’re thinking about moving to a new town, and you ask them if this is appropriate. You may see that state’s tourism board TV ad featuring that same city, and then run into someone from there—two obvious strikes. A third strike and you know it’s your guides giving you the green light. While your guides do what they do out of love for you, send them some gratitude from time to time, for they’re on duty 24/7 and will appreciate being appreciated. Also, remember dowsing and divining techniques, for they are other avenues for your guides to communicate with you. "Spirit Guides" is excerpted from "Living with Soul" by Tony Stubbs
