All previously exposed has been a brief introduction to the central part of this section.

Who are they?

In the last years many people have spoken much about the Spirit Guides. Many people call them angels and in a way they are, if we understand for angels as spiritual beings, cause guides are spiritual beings too.

Our perception of the Spirit Guides is of spiritual beings been close to us, that as their own name indicate, they guide us, help us and accompany us in our life (if you feel more comfortable calling them angels, it is ok, don't leave that a word change a meaning).

Who can feel near to us?

If we start on the base that what unites both worlds, the physical and the spiritual worlds, is love, logically this will be the nexus that join guides with us.

Therefore any being that feel love for us will be our spiritual guide.

This makes the range of Spirit Guides very wide and in fact it is, beginning with our own relatives already passed away. Who could we deny that the love that a father or a mother feels for their children disappear after death?

There are no barriers that can close the door to the love that someone feels for their family.

People that we have known, more or less close friends, they could be our spiritual guides.

Teachers and professors in all sciences and arts. A doctor that has dedicated all his life to cure sick people, after dying will try to guide with his knowledge to other healers.

A musician or a philosopher will try to inspire people that tune to their music or their philosophy.

And so a long etc.

How do they influence in our life? How do they help us?

First we should think about is why we live, what is the reason for living?

There will be those who think that we are born to grow, have descendants, live and dye, without looking for any other reason.

We in Serendipity think that as spiritual beings that we are, life is a step in our development. Therefore life means learn, teach, grow, develop and acquire new capacities, make use of them, love and feel us united to everything that surrounds us.

Spirit Guides are there to help us to live and to develop, in the same as people that surrounds us physically.

We should keep in mind something important. The help that our guides can give us will always go directed toward our necessities to develop us as spiritual beings that we are.

To need is not the same that to want.

Guides are not going to give us the winning number of the lottery, neither they are going to predict our future.

Guides will take out the best of us. They will help us to become conscious of our capacities and how to use them in a practical manner.

How can they communicate with us?

Before we spoke about mediums and their capacity to communicate with the Spirit World. In this page we want to explain how it is the communication from the Spirit World and how they establish the communication with us.

They no longer have a physical body that we could see or touch, so they should use other channels to communicate with us.

And so they use our mind, concretely our thoughts.

We do not mean it is a manipulation of our mind, not in a way that could force us to make something we don't want or affect us negatively.

Human beings have the free will faculty, so we will always have the capacity of deciding our destiny. This is why it is so important that we calm our mind. The more relaxed you could be, more we will feel their presence and their guide.

Techniques like meditation, Yoga, Tai Chi, or any type of activity that helps you to relax your mind, will open your communication channel and so you will perceive more clearly the messages that send us.

They also transmit their messages through our dreams.

When you are not capable of perceiving them directly, they will search for the way to make you receive their messages, either through people next to you or through a qualified medium. Spirit Guides will always come with messages of love, supporting us when we are sad, advising us when we do not know which direction to follow and encouraging us in our spiritual work.

How many guides do we have?

This is a question that many people do.

There is no manner of counting the number of guides that we will have along our life, as neither could count the number of people that we are going to know.

There is always one that we could say that helps us more in a precise moment, according to the necessities that we have.

There is a real case of a woman whose husband had passed away, and she wanted to know if he was her Spirit Guide at that moment.

When Joyce Morgan did the portrait for her, he was an uncle that she could recognize, but still this did not make her happy, as he did not help much his family. After a conversation, the lady recognized that she was having legal problems and her uncle had been a lawyer, so it was more important for her his presence and his help at that moment, that the one his husband could give to her. He was for sure with her, but her uncle could help her in a better with her current necessities.

You should remember that they are there to support us in our necessities, not in our desires.
