Have you also felt the presence of someone that influenced a decision, and it gave an even better outcome than you imagined?
Many times in my life, I’ve had this calling.
Once I was about to leave my flat in a hurry for work. I didn’t know the elevator was under maintenance. I was about to get on the elevator when I felt a strange pull. It was like someone had stopped me.
Before I could get on the elevator, the door stopped, and the elevator crashed into the shaft. It was then that I realized guardian angels exist. And my life was just saved by one.
Most people are not even aware of the presence of these light beings. This is because spirit guides come in more than one form. The Pagans were the first on the planet to discover this.
They used to connect with nature and the earth and believed in the concept of soul guides. You must be wondering how many types of spirit guides there are. I’ve enlisted all of them for you.

Spirit Guides/Guardian Angels
A spirit guide or guardian angel is from the spiritual realm. They stick with us and help and advise us through everything.
These angelic beings are assigned to us when we are born.
The Guardian Angels have a very specific job to overlook that no harm ever befalls us. And in case that still does happen, protect us from it. I have shared a few examples from my own life.
A spirit guide may come and go, and we might have many at one time. They all might have different roles and situations to help us in.
We only need to communicate with them and use our intuitive powers to establish contact with them.
Spirit Animals
Spirit Animals are spirit guides that communicate with us in the form of animals. They can be literal animals or just a picture of one on your laptop that just pops up out of the blue.
These Animal Spirits carry may mean that there is a big change rounding up. You should be on the lookout for the changes and the animal family that shows them to you.

How to connect with my spirit guide? Just follow these 5 steps
I have listed these steps that will help you connect with your spirit guides:
1. Call out to your Spirit Guides
Get in a practice of regularly calling out your spirit guides. Ask them for help whenever you feel like it. Let your energy flow positively, and you will feel coming to you.
This isn’t a day or two’s process. You must invest your time regularly and be aware of your spirit guides. The spirit guides might also be impressed by the efforts on day one.
Also, use your inherited intuition powers. They will be your best guide in the quest of connecting with your spirit guides. Our intuition works better than our body and knows which step needs to be taken next.
2. Look out for your spirit guides
Spirit guides are also very regular in sending you messages. Be observant and connect them with it. For example, when a book falls from the shelf, it has something they want you to know.
Whenever spirits guides are around, you will feel a shift in energy. Do not ignore that. You might feel a sudden temperature drop or rise in the temperature. These are also signs.
Meditation is another great way to start communicating with the spirit guides. It puts the mind, body, and soul at ease and is better positioned to connect with the astral plane.
3. Asking for signs and start writing to the spirit guides
Writing is a great way to establish contact. Sometimes the spirit guides are more interested in the efforts rather than the result. That is okay. Humor them.
A spirit guide is very similar to a person on earth. And if you’ve read everything from the top, then you know they are people like you and me who have ascended to the spirit plane.
They might be a little difficult to reach at times. But writing somewhere ensures that they get your messages and they notice you.
I have kept a separate Journal by my bedside for this purpose.
4. Read the signs carefully
When the spirit guides start communicating with you, it won’t be via text or call. This is why you need to be able to perceive the messages clearly. You need to be able to sense every new detail.
For example, spirit guides might send messages through dreams. Or they might visit you during the meditation session. Let your intuition guide you, and listen to it.
They might also send clear relationship advice or career advice. It only depends on the person and how clearly they can interpret the messages.
5. Trust yourself and your guide, and don’t forget to be thankful
Many times, spirit guides might not be answered even after repeated efforts. You might fall into disarray or feel like all is lost. But this is the Eureka point, the miracle about to happen.
At such points, never lose hope and or be frustrated. This only generates negative energy, and you might repel them. Remember, positive energy attracts.
The spirits also have free will and roam around and might be trying to teach you something. Their plan will only amaze you when you finally get in touch with them.
Trust in yourself, too; trust your instincts and soul to establish a relationship with the higher life forms. It only gets you better through difficult days.
