How to Connect with Spirit Guides
Your intuition's not making it up. You're being spoken to.
Do you believe in spirit guides?
Some form of the Divine, the Universe, God, Creator, Higher Self?
And more importantly:
Do you believe they’re trying to get through to you?
Lately, these are the questions I’ve been living—personally, spiritually, and in the tiny threads of the everyday. There’s no manual. No verified checklist. But with enough experiences (and a bit of humility), I’m convinced of one thing: there’s more support around us than most of us know.
You don’t have to be “in tune” or all-knowing to connect with your spirit guides. You just have to start noticing. They’re patient like that. They wait until we stop scrolling, stop doubting, stop “should-ing” all over ourselves...and finally ask for help.
So, what does spirit guide communication actually look like?
It’s usually not booming voices from the sky or full-body apparitions (though no judgment if that’s your vibe).
Most often, it’s quiet and layered:
A tarot card that echoes your inner monologue
A random-but-not-random song lyric
A bird on your windowsill, again
A phrase or memory that lands with too much precision to dismiss
It’s less “magic trick” and more divine timing—real, repeatable, and often wildly personal.
A Story: Coffee, Cards & a Cosmic Gut Punch
Let me ground this with a story from recently.
After celebrating a dear friend’s wedding—where I mingled with strangers and acquaintances—I found myself in that familiar mental spiral:
“Did I show up as my full self? Was I confident enough? Why did I judge that person? Why do I still care what others think?”
I’d gone in wanting to feel bold, secure, aligned with the version of myself I’ve worked so hard to embody. But afterward? There was shame. Regret. A quiet, angry letdown.
The next morning, I drove into a nearby small town for coffee, some light wandering, and a ritual reset. I ended up buying a new oracle deck—because soft magic like that often re-centers me—and when I got back to my cabin, I felt pulled to work with it right away.
I smudged the cards, set an intention, and asked the guides I believe are always around:
“What do I need to see right now?”
The first two cards that fell out: Intentional Stillness and Focus.
Yes. Makes sense. But I wanted more, so I asked:
“Okay guides, what do I need to focus on?”
Next card: Allow Anger.
👀 Excuse me?
Curious, I dug deeper:
“Where is this anger coming from?”
Final card: Unconditional Self-Acceptance.
And that broke something open.
I realized—I wasn’t just disappointed in how I showed up that weekend. I was angry with myself for still not being perfect.
For faltering.
For having envy, judgment, insecurity—again, after so much work.
And then... as I sat back, cards sprawled across the table, the song playing overhead whispered:
“And I can’t forgive myself...”
Right there. Same theme. Same moment. Same message.
From cards, from music, and from the bruised part of me still craving grace.
Was it coincidence? Or contact?
You get to decide. But here’s what I believe:
Spirit guide communication doesn’t require flawless intuition.
It requires awareness. Invitation. Receptivity.
Guides come through the channels you’re willing to listen to.
Some of the most common?
🌙 Dreams
You’re more open while sleeping. Messages may arrive through:
Recurring symbols or animals
Helpful strangers in dreams
Words or impressions you wake up with
Appearance of loved ones who’ve passed
Try this tonight: Before bed, say aloud “Spirit guides, I invite you to visit me in my dreams. Please communicate in a way I can feel and remember.”
Keep a journal by your bed. Write first, analyze later.
🧘 Meditation
Even five minutes of intentional stillness can crack the door open.
Close your eyes. Breathe slowly. Imagine meeting a guide in a sacred place—forest, temple, ocean, wherever feels safe. Ask: “What do I need to know right now?”
And then… just listen.
🐦 Animal Spirit Guides
When a particular animal keeps showing up—dreams, real life, art—it might mean something. Not always, but often.
Owl = clarity and mystery
Butterfly = transformation
Cardinal = ancestral presence
Hawk = perspective
🃏 Symbol Stacking
What I experienced at the cabin? That’s what I call symbol stacking—when multiple cues come together (cards, lyrics, thoughts) all pointing to one truth.
The deeper the repetition, the clearer the guidance.
Coming Soon: Wanna Go Deeper?
I’m putting together a live Spirit Guides Workshop—a space to walk you through the exact practices I use (and teach privately) for connecting with your guides in dreams, daily life, meditation, and intuitive tools.
It’ll be gentle, real, wildly practical, and yes, a little mystical.
(Spoiler: you won’t need to “read energy” to feel supported.)

Final Thought
You can choose whatever story feels safest to your soul.
You can write this off as coincidence—your brain making meaning because that’s what human brains do. Or...
You can accept the invitation.
To believe that you’re not alone.
That your guides see you trying.
That your Higher Self wants peace more than perfection.
This is the part where you get to choose:
✨ Skepticism...or sacredness.
✨ Coincidence...or connection.
✨ Isolation...or invisible support.
I know what I choose.
You?
