3 Tips for Connecting with Your Spirit Guides
Connecting with your Spirit Guides is an important part in learning to follow your soul path, trust the Universe, and feel supported each step of the way. Your spiritual journey flows with more ease and grace when you connect with your Spirit Guides to receive clarity and comfort.
As a Spiritual Mentor & Intuitive Guide I work with empaths, intuitives and sensitive souls to bring spiritual connection into their everyday lives. Whether you desire to feel connected to the Moon Cycle, Animal Guides, your soul purpose, the Universe as a whole, or even your intuition, you’ve come to the right place. It’s my job to support you on the journey of understanding who you are as a Spirit so you can create a connection with the Universe that feels aligned for your life.
In this blog I will be sharing about connecting with your spirit guides, including my top 3 tips to strengthen this spiritual connection. I will be answering the most frequently asked questions of who are your spirit guides and how are your spirit guides meant to help you.
Spirit Guides are one of the many ways you can feel connected to the Universe and in this blog we are going to dive into what this means and how it will help your journey.
What are Spirit Guides? Who are your Spirit Guides?
Same question, just worded in two different ways.
Spirit Guides are exactly that. They are Spirits who are meant to guide you through your human experience. We are all Spirits, so more specifically Spirit Guides are energies on the other side of the veil. (Learn more about what the veil is in this blog).
Your Spirit Guides are the helpers, healers, and guidance team that are working beyond the veil to support you. There are many different types of Spirit Guides you can connect with, but generally speaking when you ask for support from the Universe, the support comes through the work of your Spirit Guides.
Every single person has their own team of Spirit Guides and you can call on them at absolutely anytime you desire support, comfort, direction or clarity. The important thing to remember is that Spirit Guides will not step in and assist you unless you ask for it. There is such a thing as free will, and that’s what stops our Spirit Guides from intervening without our request.
How are Your Spirit Guides Meant to Help You?
Spiritually speaking, there is a Divine Plan for you and your life and what you’ve planned on a human level is nothing in comparison to the plan the Universe has set out for you. Of course, you are a co-creator of your life and so you do have input in how you choose to live your experience. At the same time, there are many things that are out of your control which is why you are a co-creator, the Universe is the other co-creator for your life.
Your Spirit Guides are the helpers that can see the bigger picture of your life. Beyond the veil is the concept that there is more than meets the eye in your human existence, and your Spirit Guides are your eyes and ears beyond the veil.
It’s not your job to try and remove the veil so you know everything that will happen in your life. This is because everything is changing and nothing in the future is guaranteed. It’s one of the main reasons as to why your intuition can only provide clarity for this exact moment and your Spirit Guides can only provide answers for the step that is directly in front of you. It’s not that there aren’t another 4-10 steps you need to take, it’s that you don’t need to overwhelm yourself with all of the steps at once. Especially because those steps may shift and change before you arrive at them.
All in all, your Spirit Guides are meant to help you understand this next step on your soul path. They bring you clarity on what you may not be able to see from your limited perspective as a human. Your Spirit Guides point you in the direction of where you need to heal or what you need to let go of in order to shift forward. Your Spirit Guides can help remove obstacles from your path and they can place obstacles on your path if they want to redirect you.
The more you connect with your Spirit Guides the more you will learn the vast number of ways they can help you in life. This is a topic I deep dive into with my clients in the Spirit of Air Group Program because when you have a strong connection with your Spirit Guides you are more easily able to trust your intuition while following your soul path.

Back to the blog - 3 Tips for Connecting with Your Spirit Guides
Now that you have a general understanding of who your Spirit Guides are and how they are meant to help you, let me share my top 3 tips for strengthening your connection with your Spirit Guides.
Tip 1: Talk to Them as if they are Your Best Friends
Think about your best friend for a moment. You probably have a strong relationship with them because you communicate all the time, or the foundation of your relationship was built on a strong connection.
The less you talk to friends or family members the less strong your connection becomes. The people you have the strongest relationship with are the ones you connect to the most. This is the same when it comes to your Spirit Guides.
If you only call on them once a month it’s going to be a lot harder for you to understand the way they communicate with you. Whereas the more you ask for their assistance, share your day with them, or call on them to comfort you, the easier it becomes to feel their energy and recognize how they support you.
Ask your Spirit Guides to take your worries and stress. You can do so by telling them all that is weighing on your heart and mind, then ask them to carry the weight of that stress.
Ask your Spirit Guides to bring you clarity. When you find yourself stuck in a problem or an obstacle/challenge has appeared on your path and you are unsure of what action to take, you can call on your Spirit Guides, explain how you feel and then ask them to show you the next step.
Ask your Spirit Guides to bring you strength and courage. Whenever you are needing to take action in life you most likely desire to feel a certain way through that action. Whether you are needing courage to actually take the first step, you are needing strength to confront someone, or maybe you are needing peace and patience. No matter what energy you believe you are needing, you can ask your Spirit Guides to bring you that energy and help support you in the embodiment practice.
Tip 2: Ask to Meet Your Spirit Guides for Specific Aspects of Your Life
You can meet general Spirit Guides who help you in all aspects of life, but if you are really wanting support in a certain area you can ask to meet the Spirit Guide that is specialized in that area of your life.
Spirit Guides are similar to humans in that they have gifts, strengths and a passion for something. Personally in my life I have a passion for teaching people about their energy and emotions. I thrive most in life when I get to work with clients who want to better understand their emotions and how to live from a peaceful energy. This is one of my gifts.
Your Spirit Guides can also have a gift, meaning they have a specialty and can help you with that area of your life. I have a Spirit Guide that is my Business Manager and he guides, supports and directs me in all things business. I also have a Spirit Guide that focuses on abundance and adventures. She teaches me how to live an abundantly adventurous life and she shows me what I need to know for this aspect of my life.
If you are wanting support in your relationships, you can call on your Spirit Guides and ask them who is here to help you with your relationships. Sit in meditation and see what comes forward for you.
Meeting and getting to know your Spirit Guides is also something I support my Spirit of Air Group clients with. You have the ability to meet your Spirit Guides all on your own, but if you are wanting to take the guesswork out and make things easy for yourself, then check out my Spirit of Air Group Program.
Tip 3: Thank Your Spirit Guides for Guiding You & Taking Care of Things Behind the Scenes
As you know, everyone performs better when they are appreciated and receive gratitude for their work, your Spirit Guides are no different. When you are able to carry the energy of appreciation for the support your Spirit Guides offer you become more open to receiving their help.
One of the main problems we experience, which creates a disconnection between us and the Universe, including our Spirit Guides, is that we can’t always see what’s happening behind the scenes (or beyond the veil). This means we easily get caught up in our physical reality and we forget that we are co-creators for our lives.
Remembering to thank your Spirit Guides for their support puts you in the energy of allowing the Universe’s support in all aspects of your life. Your Spirit Guides truly are taking care of things that are out of your control. Rather than sitting here, planning everything and gripping onto control to feel a sense of security, by relying on your Spirit Guides you are surrendering to the Universe. You can read more about surrendering to the Universe in this blog.
It’s important to carry gratitude for your Spirit Guides, not only because they are doing Spiritual Work for you, but also because it creates a high vibrational energy for yourself which then only attracts more goodness into your life.
These three tips for connecting with your Spirit Guides are simple steps you can start integrating into your life right now. These steps may seem simple, but they are truly life changing when you are able to create daily connections with your Spirit Guides.
You will not only feel lighter and more supported, you will start noticing more signs and synchronicities as everything falls into place beautifully.
