Are Spirit Guides Present At The Moment Of Birth?

Hi Ms Wallace,

I really enjoyed your book Spirit Guides And Healing Energy. It was very informative for a beginner on this sensitive topic. Are spirit guides present at the moment of your birth? Are some of them there as guides because they missed their chance at being reincarnated into the child? I'm seriously curious as to just how close to the beginning of your life your guide actually comes into your life. Does that make sense?

I want to embrace and learn more about this part of me I kept hidden, embarrassed, and for the most part sometimes terrified of. I was wondering if possibly you had any suggestions for me. Books, classes, seminars, to help me through my journey of learning more about myself. Maybe add to my credentials, while at the same time helping myself and helping others.

Thanking you in advance for your time and once again for the enjoyable time I got while reading your wonderful book!  Any response from you will be welcomed. 

Thanks again.

--------------------

Thank you so much for emailing me! 

My advice is this:

1. "Don't hide your light under a bushel." Let the world see who and what you are. Being psychic is perfectly normal.

2. I read everything I could through the years, but my greatest teacher was myself. By simply tuning into my own thoughts and feelings I learned more than I ever could in a book. So often we forget to listen inside and spend too many years listening outside. Each psychic has her or his own way of doing things. It's not a one size fits all path. That's why in my books I make things simple so each reader can pursue their own unique psychic talents. I also learned a lot from children. They don't question things, they just take it at face value. When we get older we talk ourselves out of our psychic gifts saying, "That was just a dream. I was just seeing things or hearing things." How sad is that?

3. Regarding spirit guides. In my experience I've learned that we have one very high guide that is with us always through every life. At birth typically we attract deceased relative guides. Deceased relatives come to us always in our lives, but come and go. As children we could attract other child spirits or maternal spirits. Typically mother or grandmotherly type. When we're in our teens and older and develop our own personality, traits and so forth we start attracting other guides. Higher guides that help us with our life paths, and spirits of deceased people who are strangers to us but need to learn something or do something before they move on. We always, always, always have guides and spirits around us.

I hope I've answered your questions and I do urge you to focus on your spiritual/psychic path and learn all it has to teach you. Let me know how you're doing.

Light and blessings

How To Contact Your Spirit Guides

Easy Exercise To Contact Your Guides

I want to offer you this simple exercise to find out what your guides or angels have to say to you. This is also a good way to connect with your higher self and to simply relax and recharge. All you need to do is spend five minutes (or more if you'd like) in the morning and evening meditating. 

Relaxing - 

Just go somewhere quiet and allow yourself to relax. Most people choose their bedroom. The easiest way to do this is to sit or lay down and close your eyes. Breathe in slow and deep to the count 5 or 10, imagining a cleansing white light entering through the top of your head that comes from your guide. The white light goes down your neck, into your chest and arms, stomach and thighs, all the way to your feet until this healing and protective white light fills you.  

When you exhale slowly, imagine all of the negativity in your life being pressed out through your feet and going into the center of the earth and burning up. Do this a few times until you feel some sort of shift or change in you, no matter how small. 

Protection - 

While you meditate imagine a circle of white or gold light surrounding you. Only goodness and soul lessons can come through this protective circle sent by your higher guides. You are safe at all times within this circle. You can also imagine this protective light around anyone you love. Whenever you feel off balance or bad in any way, just imagine your protective circle all around you. It's kind of like being inside a huge egg. Your energy can cleanse itself and it will help to keep out "psychic attacks" and ward off "psychic vampires." You can repeat to yourself, "I am safe at all times within my protective circle of light. Good things come to me daily because I deserve love, success, prosperity, happiness and health."  

Affirmations - 

Once you feel relaxed you can say one or two affirmations that you create for yourself. Make them short, simple, positive, and in the present tense. This way you can reprogram your subconscious and your requests can be sent out into the universe. Something like, "I am connected with my guides. I am in a loving and passionate relationship. I’m pursuing my goals daily. My life is peaceful, and all is well. I send positive energy to those around me."

Calling Your Guides -
At this point you're ready to call on your guides or angels. You can say out loud or in your mind, "Loving spirit guide (or angel), please make your presence known. I'm open to your healing, your guidance and messages."  You can also ask your guide a question you need help or guidance on.

Now sit quietly and allow any pictures, scenes, words, feelings...anything at all to come through. I usually get sentences and symbols, along with feelings. It's different for everyone and you'll need to get acquainted with your own methods of contacting your guides. In the beginning you may not get much, or their messages may seem confusing. Practice makes perfect though, and as you get better at interacting with your guides the stronger they'll come through and the more help they'll offer.

When you feel that the energy is fading away, if images or messages stop coming, you're done with this meditation session. Never push yourself since that creates more blocks. Working with your spirit guides should be peaceful and helpful, not stressful.  

Taking Notes -

Be sure to make notes of what you experienced during your meditation and circle anything that looks promising. If you get some symbols you can go online and check out a dream dictionary to see if the definition of the symbol offers you any insight. 

I can guarantee the more you practice this, the more spirit can come through to guide you and offer you the answers you're looking for. It's so much more meaningful when we can get the information from our guides ourselves.

Share Your Experiences -

If you've tried this exercise or another one to contact your guides or angels, what worked best for you? What help have your guides given you and how have they changed your life or how do you hope they'll change your life? I'd love to hear your comments and I'll gladly reply!  

Light and blessings,

How Spirit Guides Communicate

Although it would be great if your spirit guide could just call you up on the phone and have a long chat with you, it doesn’t work that way. Even so, there are a few ways that they can communicate with you and they’re actually pretty easy!

Coincidences –

When you’re open to your spirit guides they very often send coincidences and synchronicity as a way to let you know that something will be coming up such as an opportunity or beneficial event. It's also their way of saying, "We're here in your life! You're on the right path! Something new is coming up!"

You’ve probably noticed coincidences before, but never paid much attention to them. Well, now you should!

Next time you notice a coincidence don’t just shrug it off. Instead, pay attention to what the coincidence may be telling you. Even if it doesn’t seem to be pointing to a specific message, one thing is for certain, when you experience coincidences something positive will be coming your way!

Music –

Another way spirit guides communicate with us is through music. Like many other people, I believe that music is the language of the soul, and guides can communicate with us easily this way.

You may have something on your mind then go to the supermarket and hear a song playing, or get in your car and turn on the radio, and at that moment the words of the song seem to leap out at you. The lyrics are like an answer to your question or a message you’ve been waiting to hear.

Go ahead and give it a try. Ask your guides a question or ask them for guidance then turn on the radio. See what song is playing. You might get something really meaningful or just plain silly, but don’t consider it nonsense without really paying attention. Maybe you’ll ask something like, “Spirit guides, please send me a message about my current relationship.”  You turn on the radio and a song that doesn’t seem to fit is on. Really pay attention and think about the words that you hear, could they be a message?  If not, try again later on during the day or the next day. Sometimes it takes awhile before your guides can come through clearly.

Dreams –

Another easy way for guides to contact us is in the dream-state. They very often come into our dreams and send messages and symbols to help us along in our waking life. Or, as in my stories mentioned above, loved ones can stop by to send messages of comfort.

A simple way to connect with your guides or a loved one is to simply lay down in bed at night and before going to sleep ask your spirit guide or loved one to come into your dream and offer a message. Tell yourself that you’ll remember your dream and the message or symbol that was given to you and be sure to make a note of it as soon as you wake up or you’ll most likely forget.

Dream incubation isn’t difficult but it does take time, can be hit-or-miss, and it’s easy to forget your dreams. Still, it’s a simple method and I urge you to give it a try. Over time you’ll get better at it and remember your dreams more and more.

Meditation -

If you really want to make contact with your guides and open yourself up more spiritually then meditation is the way to go. It’s something you have control over and will remember far easier than most people remember their dreams.

So many people never learn to contact their guides or tap into their own higher selves because they feel that meditation is difficult, long and boring. Not at all, but it does take practice.

They’re Always Nearby –

Contacting and working with your spirit guides should be as normal as interacting with a close friend. These beings of energy and immense wisdom are around you every moment, ready to help you in all areas of your life. Learning to make contact and actually recognizing their messages when they come through doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming.

I think many books and metaphysics teachers try to take something very simple and natural, and make it seem so hard or out of reach that many people give up, thinking they don't have a psychic bone in their body. Nonsense! All it takes is faith, dedication, and a little bit of your time. Very little!

This was an excerpt from my book Contacting and Working with Your Spirit Guides. In it I show you step-by-step through easy and enjoyable exercises how you can contact and work with your very own spirit guides so you can overcome obstacles and manifest your ever desire.  It's available on Amazon for only $2.99 for the ebook book and $6.99 for the paperback.

Proof That Spirit Guides Exist

"Guides Show Me The Way!"

My Proof That Spirit Guides Exist –

I’m living proof that spirit guides can help lead you down beneficial and lucrative paths in life. Just a few short years ago I was a single mother, yearning for a soul mate, bringing in less than a thousand dollars per month, and living in a house that needed more repairs than even the handiest handyman could tackle. I had no idea how to get out of the mess my life was in! At least I was finally out of my awful second marriage so that was a plus, but I was at a crossroads and had no idea which way to go.

My First Contact –

I had already been offering psychic readings in person for many years, and was always spiritual, but never realized the true power of spirit guides until I started contacting my own. Call it faith borne of desperation if you will, but I sat in my bedroom one day, closed my eyes, cleared my mind as best as I could, and asked for help. How often do we forget to ask for help when we need it?

As I sat there I let my guides know what I needed—without being greedy about it—and asked them to send me ideas and opportunities that would get me to where I wanted to be. I had no expectations of everything falling into my lap, I was willing to work hard for what I wanted in life, I just needed a little assistance in getting started.

During that first session where I tried contacting my guides I didn’t get any concrete information, though I did feel an enormous sense of relief and comfort.  Somehow I knew they’d come through when the time was right. Each evening after that I spent just a few minutes connecting with my guides

Signs Were Everywhere -

Soon I began having dreams and flashes of insight as to how I could crawl out from under the rubble. It was like the clouds of uncertainty and confusion were cleared away so I could pursue the things I needed to. Almost daily I encountered signs from my guides in the form of coincidences and even meaningful song lyrics. (I’ll explain how this works a little later on.)  This gave me more comfort and determination to follow my dreams.

The more I started listening to the advice of my guides, the more opportunities would come my way and the more positive my life became. Now I‘m a best selling romance author, have a thriving psychic business, am a successful freelance writer, have a beautiful home, and a really great guy. And life is getting better all the time!

Getting Back On Track -

I can always tell when I’m getting off track again and not paying attention to their guidance because my life will start to take a nosedive. Little things start going wrong, something I hoped for falls through, one path dries up and I’m left wondering where to go. When I notice this happening I get right back into my routine of working with my guides and things start moving again in positive and prosperous directions.

Are You Ready For Changes?

Once you get in touch with your spirit guides you’ll be surprised at how much your life changes and how you attract better things and people. Dreams and goals that you had given up on long ago will be within reach and much easier to accomplish than they ever would have been without the help of your spirit guides. Problems in the past that used to bother you will probably seem less important and you’ll look toward the future with excitement and renewed energy. But how can they make contact with you?

In my book Contacting and Working with Your Spirit Guides I show you step-by-step through easy and enjoyable exercises how you can contact and work with your very own spirit guides so you can overcome obstacles and manifest your ever desire.  It's available on Amazon for only $2.99.

Types Of Spirit Guides

Who Are These Spirit Guides?

Higher Guides –

What I have experienced through my personal meditations and reading for others is that there are very high guides who have never been on earth and are pure energy. They're the ones most concerned with soul growth and know that everything happens for a reason, so they let us make mistakes and stumble along. When we connect with them through meditation they offer higher guidance, always associated with soul growth and your life purpose. Their energy is very comforting.

Middle Guides –

Then there are the middle guides that have been on earth many times in human form and now choose to help us from the other side. I believe that this is where we’ll end up eventually, if we choose. We’re reincarnated many times, learn a whole lot of lessons, grow wiser and stronger, and are ultimately finished with our Earth lives. When this happens, you may choose to become a spirit guide for younger souls on Earth.  These are my favorite types of guides since they know what it’s like to be human but are infinitely wise at the same time.

Lower Guides –

There are also spirits of those who have recently crossed over and act as guides to help us out while they learn a lesson or complete something for themselves in the process before they're reincarnated. Sometimes these guides need to reveal how they died, a message they have for someone they left behind, or being able to learn a lesson through you.

As an example, one of these guides I attracted had always been rather wimpy in life and really regretted it. Well, at times I tend to be a bit wimpy myself so we worked on this together. In the process we both learned to be stronger and he was able to move on. I call these types of guides “lower guides” though there’s nothing low about them; they’re just lower on the spirit guide totem pole than the others.

How Long Do They Stay?

Middle and lower guides come and go, but the higher ones are always the same throughout your life. There aren't many of them and they watch over us, kind of like flocks of sheep. When you're born you're appointed a very high guide that stays with you like a parent. The middle and lower guides usually stick around while you're going through something new in your life and during trying times and lower guides come and go quickly.  In fact, some just pass through for a moment.

In my book Contacting and Working with Your Spirit Guides I show you step-by-step through easy and enjoyable exercises how you can contact and work with your very own spirit guides so you can overcome obstacles and manifest your ever desire.  It's available on Amazon for only $2.99.
