Imagine a world where you are never alone, there is always someone to talk to, someone is always there to help you and amazing things seem to magically happen in ways that are at times beyond your imagination. That world exists. You are living in it right now with Spirit all around you!
Who is Spirit? Spirit is any high vibrational being that is in God’s light – God, master teachers, angels, guides and our loved ones who have passed on.
Whether you are aware of them or not, Spirit is around you all the time. They are there for you – protecting you, watching over you, guiding you, helping you, cheering you on, comforting you, inspiring you… and the list goes on. They can show you their presence in many ways, including but not limited to: through signs and symbols; you may actually see, hear or feel them; a knowingness; as inspiration, an idea or a thought. It is comforting to know that you are never truly alone, especially when you feel down or the going gets rough. And if you’re wondering about those times you’re in the bathroom or taking a shower, well don’t! Spirit isn’t a peeping Tom! I feel that they see us in our energetic forms, not our physical bodies, so there’s no need to worry about stuff like that!
You can talk to Spirit about anything, anytime. Many people believe they have to switch into church/synagogue/mosque/house of worship mode, behave a certain way and talk a certain way when communicating with Spirit. I think this can get in the way of people really connecting with Spirit because it can feel so formal. Did you know Spirit has a sense of humor?! So just relax and be yourself! Talk like you do with a friend. Talk about anything – your fears, doubts, concerns, worries, frustrations, anger, joy, love, gratitude, funny stuff – all of it, don’t hold back! Spirit already knows what you are thinking and feeling. By talking to them though, you can release it to Spirit. Then you’re not holding on to it or focusing on it anymore, making room for new energy that will serve you well.
Spirit is always ready to help you, but because we all have free will, you have to ask for their help. You can ask as much as you like, there is no limit on or judgment about how much you ask. Nothing is too big or too small that you can ask. When you ask for help:
- know that you are worthy of receiving help
- let go of any expectations of how the help will come to you or how it will happen
- be open to receive the help in whatever form it comes. It can come in the form of a person, a situation, a sign or symbol, a thought, you may overhear a part of a conversation that clicks for you when you hear it… the possibilities are unlimited!
You can also ask Spirit for signs that they are around you. Common signs from the angels are feathers, coins, rainbows, flashes of light and numbers. How do you know something is a sign? It’s different for everyone, but the common thread is that you just know it. It’s almost like something clicks into place within you. Some people get goose bumps or feel something like energy going through them. You may not be able to explain it, but you just know in some way. Have fun with it! Even if you know Spirit is around you, it’s fun to play with them and see the imaginative ways they come up with to let you know they are there!
There may be specific beings among Spirit that you interact with more than others. Whoever you feel comfortable with or a bond with, it’s ok because they are all in God’s light. We are all created by God and therefore an extension of God, so no matter who you interact with, it’s God in the end. Just go with what feels right to you.
How do you know a being is Spirit or in God’s light? You can start with your intention. Always ask for a high vibrational being or Spirit or someone in God’s light. Always ask for what is for your highest good or the highest good of everyone involved. Spirit’s energy always feels good and makes you feel loved, like a warm fuzzy. In my experience, guidance and information from Spirit is always loving, straightforward, unemotional and has a universal truth to it. Spirit will never guide you to do something that will hurt you or others in any way. If you have any doubt a being is of God’s light, trust that feeling, thank them and tell them they can go away now. Then ask for someone that is in God’s light.
Living everyday knowing that Spirit is around you is beautiful, empowering and at times just downright fun! It helps remind you of who you really are – a spiritual being that is powerful and creative with unlimited divine potential. The things that happen are many times so amazing it can often feel like a magical world! It’s a world I wish everyone experienced every day!
