How to Know if You Have Spirit Guides

You might be wondering if spirit guides, aka spirit angels, are real. Do you have spirit guides or do they actually exist?

Yes.

Everyone has spirit guides, whether you believe in them or not. If you chose not to believe, then you won’t find much, if any, evidence of them.

Spirit guides will not usually communicate with you unless you consent to the communication in some way. Such as through belief, prayer, or by your intentional communication efforts.

If you do believe in spirit guides, you will have an inner knowing about their presence. And you will discover confirmation of their existence.

If you do not believe in spirit guides, the issue is simply null and void. Your spirit guides will remain hidden if your belief is that they don’t exist. They “won’t exist” in your reality.

How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides

Communication with your spirit guides can be as simple or deeply intentioned as you wish.

I believe that simply asking questions silently in your own mind is quite sufficient to connect with spirit guides. You could also write your question, or ask your questions out loud. You could even sing your questions. 

Would you like to receive a sign from a deceased relative or friend? Are you wondering what the sign might be? My tip is to think of what reminds you of that person. More on signs from spirit guides here in a minute.

For a bit more oomph or intention in connecting your spirit guides, you can use props, tools, or talismans. These things may help you when trying to manifest something with the help of your guides, for instance. Here are some ideas and examples:

Tools to Help You Connect With Spirit Guides

• Rocks or crystals. Set up a crystal grid, or arrangement, or hold your crystals.
• Pieces of wood, flowers.
• Burn sage or incense.
• Light a candle.
• Scry into a candle flame, mirror, cloud, or body of water.
• Tap a spirit drum.
• Hold talismans such as jewelry or coins.
• Use tarot cards.

*I do not consider tarot cards or other divination tools to be portals for unwanted spirits. This is because the information must flow through the reader, (in my case, myself. I don’t consent to negative entities and hence have no issues.) 

How do Spirit Guides Communicate with Humans?

Commonly, our guides talk to us through intuition, or through our inner voice. You don’t need special psychic abilities to communicate with your spirit guides; the abilities are regular abilities all humans possess.

Spirit guides also use synchronicities to communicate. These could include messages in the media, such as a certain song playing on the radio while you’re shopping in the supermarket. Or, the words of a stranger you happen to overhear and find meaningful.

And most frequently, spirit guides communicate in the form of “signs.”

Common signs include angel numbers, rainbows, coins, and feathers. But signs are often highly personal.

For example, my mother who passed when I was young loved white birch trees. When I see birch bark where it’s not supposed to be (as in, not where birch trees grow,) I know it’s her.

How Do You Know if a Sign From Your Spirit Guides is Really a Sign?

My rule of thumb? If you think you are receiving a sign from your guides, then you probably are. If something is way too uncanny to be an actual coincidence, then it isn’t one. Trust your intuition.

Another way to know if a sign is really a sign from your spirit guide is divine timing.

Divine timing occurs when the timing of an event is impeccable and inexplicable. The timing is so favorable and fortunate that it seems like magic. Examples include a lucky escape from a close call, a life-changing book that falls off the shelf, or meeting the right person at the right time.

How Are Spirit Guides Different from Ghosts?

All around us in the unseen realm exist all manner of spirits. Ghosts, angels, fairies, spirit guides or spirit angels, and more. 

Spirit guides are good, loving spirits that are “of the light.” Your spirit guides are with you for the duration of your lifetime, or for a certain time period. Although some ghosts are spirit guides, (such as a deceased relative,) not all ghosts are spirit guides. 

Ghosts are stuck in the unseen realm of this physical plane because something is keeping them from passing over. That could be a connection to someone that the ghost feels they must watch over, for instance.

Most often, ghosts are stuck because of pain, trauma, or intense fear of letting go.

Communicating with Ghosts

Most ghosts are loving and well-intentioned like most humans. But, some are not. 

Rarely, ghosts have poltergeist abilities. If you are dealing with poltergeist activity, I suggest you contact a professional. And ask for protection from your spirit guides.

I recommend not communicating with poltergeists or ghosts. You are more powerful than 99.99% of ghosts because you are alive and they are dead. I cannot speak of the other 0.01%.

Never use ouija boards or engage in seances. You don’t know what else could get through the portals you’re opening. Don’t mess around and find out because as they say “The devil’s greatest trick is making you think he doesn’t exist.” 

There is good and bad spiritual energy. So, if you are getting any negative vibes, stop communication immediately.

Concluding thoughts

Communicating with your guides can be as simple as a conversation in your head. Or as elaborate as hiking to the top of a mountain for a special meditation with 20 different crystals, a bundle of herbs, and some mushroom tea.

Please know that you can substitute the word “angels” or another term you like instead of “spirit guides.” It doesn’t matter when you are referring to the same positive spiritual entities.

It’s a nice feeling to think of loving, kind, white-light spirit guides being available in your life for guidance and support. It’s even better to know in your heart that they are there.
