Let’s say you are studying to become a nurse, and you are immersing yourself in medical knowledge. You truly want to help others, and are fascinated by much of the information put in front of you to study, and patients to learn from.
It could be, it could very well be, that you have had a past life as a doctor, or someone in the medical field. Perhaps you were quite good, and have mountains of information about it, tucked away in your Akashic files somewhere.
Somewhere, in the mountains of data stored there!
Perhaps in that lifetime you had a close friend, or colleague, who you trusted, and felt at home with.
That spirit may be in-between lifetimes, and would like to work with you. Maybe it has been a while since he, or she has had a body. He, or she may want to help you, out of gratitude, and love, to help you achieve your goal. Perhaps, there is a gift for them too…by being around a human and witnessing what it’s like to have a body; it can help them, to ease them into taking their next step as well.
So it can be a win-win situation.
Maybe they owe you one, (or you them!), and this bit of help in this chapter of your life can complete things.
Maybe your guide just wishes to help, and the two of you get along nicely.
Maybe they have a lot of healing information, and offer it, to administer healings.
Or, maybe it is just a simple agreement between two spirits, for a while, like having a roommate for a bit.
Once boundaries and ground rules are established, you have a good working relationship, and you both win!
But, back to the medical school story:
Maybe, this helpful being finds you the information you need whilst studying, keeps your house from burning down on those late nights, with the candle burning at both ends, and helps get you into the school you wanted (how did your scholarship application keep ending up on the top pile?) LOL
And now, you’re a success! You’ve made it past your internship, and a year or two has gone by. Your invisible friend may just complete the agreement; he has accomplished what he needed, and what he came to do.
Having a spirit guide can be for a reason, or a season, or a lifetime. Just like many friends. And that’s ok. Sometimes it is you that ends the agreement. Maybe you have outgrown the relationship, and taken a step up energetically. Maybe your guide was given to you by your parents (like an angel, to help keep you safe), but it doesn’t seem to be working too well in present time, or the being has it’s own agenda for you.
I have had many helpers and guides, and I am grateful for them, even if they were temporary. It has always been a win-win, and they have grown too.
I imagine how difficult it must be to be one, and watch your human friend get themselves into trouble again, and again! Or, not being able to change their karma, or help them when they are making a bad choice, that must be tough.
I teach a class on the care and feeding of your spirit guides. I love teaching people the rules of having a guide. They are quite healthy for both parties involved, like “what are the best ways of communicating”? “How to keep my space clear and uncluttered, with other spirits”? “What type of things can they help me with”?
You will learn many helpful things to have a healthy relationship. You’ll also learn the difference between a guide, and an angel.
We will take a look at who is already in your space that you may want to clear out. You may want to work with a new guide, who is in affinity to how you are vibrating as a spirit right now. Maybe you have a wonderful helper, and need to learn how to better communicate with them.
The class I teach in Berkeley is rotating, I teach it once a year at least. Check the website, and schedule of Manifesting and Miracles classes at Angel Light Books, or on my website.
There is one on Feb 10th, from 3-5pm
You are also welcome to get a reading on your guide, and clean up the communication lines, and revisit the rules of your agreement.
Asking for help is a wonderful way to begin to co-create.
Go gently, with help, and with blessings!
