If you’re like me, you often turn to the spiritual realm for guidance and help and believe in the power of angels and guides. However, is there a real difference between them or are they one and the same?
I am a big believer in knowing who I am connecting with and the best way to connect, so I am sharing my knowledge here.
What are Spirit Guides?
Spirit guides are souls that have evolved enough to be able to help your soul achieve its greatest potential while here on Earth. We all have at least three different guides at any given time, with new guides taking their place depending on where we are in life.
Some of your spirit guides may have been with you before you were even born, while others only stick around to help you through different stages and lessons.
Spirit guides were humans at one point – or other physical beings, like animals. After transitioning into the afterlife, their souls chose to remain there. Since most spirit guides were humans at some point, they easily relate to the human experience, making them compassionate and non-judgmental when we seek their help.
There are also different kinds and levels of spirit guides. For instance, great spiritual teachers like Buddha are classified as Ascended Masters – guides with vast experience, deep spiritual growth, and influence.
Relatives who have passed on could also be spirit guides if they gained great spiritual growth during their lifetime and chose to be a guide to those they love.
There are also animal spirit guides that are sent here to help us. They can even appear in the form of a past pet.
We’ve all received messages from our spirit guides before, even if we don’t realize it. Remember those gut feelings that turned out to be right? That inner voice giving you great advice? That marriage counseling commercial that pops up on your car radio right after having a fight with your partner? Those are all possible examples of your spirit guides sending messages to help get you back on the right path.
What are Angels?
Angels are also there to guide and protect you throughout your life, but they do so in a different way. Unlike spirit guides who were once human, angels are hardly ever former humans, especially archangels. They’re also more likely to be mentioned in spiritual texts.
Angels can communicate with you in a number of different ways, including numbers, songs, and through animals. However, they cannot intervene in your life unless you ask them to. Like spirit guides, angels are there for you, and they do so without judgment and conditions.
Another difference is that while a particular spirit guide could remain with you throughout your life, angels move around and help multiple people.
I’ve also noticed that whenever I connect with an angel, they often appear more in the form of energy or light than human form..
There are also different types of angels, mostly classified based on their purpose. Archangels are of the highest rank – you’ve probably heard of the popular ones like Angel Michael and Angel Gabriel. We also have guardian and helper angels..
How to Connect with Spirit Guides and Angels
Even if you are skeptical about their existence, it’s important to note that guides and angels are with you. I’ve discovered that being open-minded can enhance the number of connections you have with them. This is a valuable tip to begin with.
To establish a connection with your guides and angels, there are several approaches you can consider. However, here are my top 3 most effective methods:
1. Get a psychic reading
The passage suggests that beginners in spiritual connections, particularly with angels or spirit guides, might benefit from the assistance of a spiritual advisor. A trustworthy psychic platform such as Keen can provide this assistance, linking individuals with seasoned advisors. These advisors utilize various methods to establish communication with the person’s spirit guides and angels.
A psychic can provide you with answers that can help steer you in the right direction in life, your relationships, and your career. You can ask a psychic to provide you with messages from your angels using angel cards or channel your spirit guides for advice on a particular situation..
2. Meditate
If you want to try connecting with your angels and guides on your own, there is also meditation. It might take some practice at first but it’s highly effective. You can even combine your meditation with tools such as angel or tarot cards. Once your mind is quiet enough, you can ask questions and receive accurate guidance. I would also advise you to pay attention to your intuition to receive additional guidance. There are even special guided meditations available online that help put you in touch with your guides and angels.
3. Write
Another way that I love to connect with my guides and angels is through automatic writing. For this, you will also need to relax and clear your mind in order to channel messages. Create a safe space for yourself and tune into your intuition. Have a pen and paper ready to receive your messages. Once you feel calm and your mind is open, write down whatever pops into your head. You may want to ask your guides and angels some specific questions before you begin this practice.
Bottom Line
Your guides and angels enjoy helping you find your way, but always remember that you’re in control of your own destiny. It’s entirely up to you to listen and use the guidance from your angels and guides. But with the tips I’ve provided here, you should have an easier time connecting with your guides and angels should you ever need to.
