Guides... the Butt-in-Skis of the World

Last year, I wrote the blog, “My Guides… They Meddle.” If you read that, you know that my guides like to pester not only me but people around me. It’s efficient and effective and gets the message across.

My guides, however, aren’t the guides that choose to work this way.

Last week, during the last Building Blocks of Mediumship session we talked about Spirit Guides. During this class, we talk about what Spirit Guides are; who has guides; how many guides a person has; what their role is; how they can help you; and, who/what they are.

Like me who thought all guides were Native American (my grandfather’s was after all) or at least human, several individuals were surprised to discover that guides could be animals, fairies, aliens, or angels. They come in the form that is most comfortable for you. It was at this point we did a meditation to meet our guides and discussed what they experienced and who their guides were.

Unfortunately, some people struggled to get clear messages from their guides and the conversation moved onto how guides communicate with us and the signs they provide us. It was then when I suddenly had a loud and painful ringing in my ears. Knowing it was angelic and hoping to release the noise, I used that as an example telling the room that ringing, even when not clear, can mean angels are around.

Hearing that, a woman who had been quiet but had been noticeably squirming in her chair for some time, nearly jumped out of her seat saying, “NOOOOOO… Really? Angels? I thought for certain I was imagining it. My guide, who is waving at you obnoxiously by the way, has been telling me he’s an angel. I told him no way, but he insisted. So I told him to prove it. And he said watch this! Then you grabbed your ear and… really? Angels??”

It made me and the classroom chuckle. Her guide in that moment had worked through me to give her a sign and validation to make it clear that her experiences were not her imagination. They were (and are) very real. Sometimes it takes working through that third party to make the message more concrete and real.

So my advice, when you get that clear message to an answer out of the blue from a third party… pay attention. Your guides may be working through them… And man, can that be interesting for the third party. From this experience, man were HER GUIDES WERE ROWDY! Once they got my attention, her lion would roar and paw at me and her angel continued to flap his wings.

On a plus side, it made for a VERY interesting evening. And most importantly… they got HER attention.
