Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides are essential for shamanic practice. They are the ones that provide the guidance and the healing. 

Guides can be animals, plants, ancestors, angels, deities, and more. They often speak through intuitions, dreams, and shamanic rituals.

They come to help the Soul on its journey on Earth. Some may come for short while others may stay around for a long time.

As beings from the spirit realm, the limits of the material realm do not apply to them, enabling them to do things that are beyond rational comprehension, which is one of the ways they help us break through, heal, and evolve.

Guides ask for nothing in return for their help. That being said, they respond positively to being genuinely acknowledged, appreciated, and tended to.

It is common for the mind to seek to interpret the Spirits as being symbols for something else. However, in my experience, doing so often restricts their ability to help us or even to appear at all.

Instead, by meeting them with a clear mind free of interpretations, we honour them as the spirit beings that they are and can come to receive their true teachings.
