If we expect messages from our guides to come only during meditation or in a vision, we may overlook helpful information.
Our helping spirits and guardian angels will certainly communicate with us through those channels if they know we are tuned into them, but not everyone has gifts of clairaudience (intuitive hearing) or clairvoyance (intuitive sight). Lucky for us, there are many ways of receiving information.
Our guides choose unique ways to communicate with us, on frequencies and channels we’re attuned to.
One of my angels frequently puts a snippet of a song in my head. It’s a sign to look up the rest of the lyrics if I don’t know them, and invariably there will be a message with meaning in that moment.
Another of my guides, a helping spirit working with me in my shamanic healing practice, is an animal. Whenever I see this animal in nature, it’s a sign to journey to her for a message.
One of my friend’s guides nudges her to pay attention when she is driving. Often a vanity plate on the next car she sees will hold an answer to a question she recently posed.
If you would like receive more messages from your guides, you might play with expanding your view of what it means to communicate with your guides and opening to new channels of receiving messages.
State your intention to receive messages from your guides, and let them know you welcome their assistance and wisdom. Then remain mindful as you go about your day, holding an open awareness and a curious attitude. Over time, your communication with guides will increase.
