Spirits, Spirit guides and Gatekeepers.

It is one of my biggest wishes in the work I do, to help people overcome any fears and past conditioning, related to seeing or opening up to the spirit world and their own psychic, intuitive abilities.

If say, you grew up seeing or sencing the spirit world around you and didn't receive encouragement, guidance or help with what was happening or even had judgement or belittlement for what you were experiencing, even if you don't have early memories of this (this can also be related to a past life to) - your natural response would be to have protected yourself, closed it off, shut down, most probably to fit in with everyone else, to be accepted (often, though in doing so you may have received a lot more info within your dreams). Fortunately there is a lot more awareness and acceptance now and it's really good  to try to overcome any fears related to the spirit world as they really are here to help us, in many ways. 

I've had a lot more people asking questions about experiencing spirit activity around themselves, loved ones and their homes lately. I do sense sometimes their fears at this, but also intrigue to. Nine times out of ten, these are crossed over loved ones who pay us visits, they love to celebrate with us, in moments of joy as well as comfort us in times of sorrow. They love paying visits to you,  especially if there is a new baby in your home, and family. They welcome the new soul to earth. Also marriages, anniversaries, birthdays and home moves are popular times the spirit world shows there presence - they never wish to scare or upset you and will back away if they feel you are.

A lot of times what we mistake as 'bad spirit' energy is actually thoughtforms created by Earth bound negativity, our own or others fears, and this doesn't have any thing to do with the spirit world. Like attracts like so the more conscious you are with your thoughts, working on healing and clearing energy that is around you, the better you'll feel and the lighter the vibes will be.

But, just like with certain people or situations, sometimes we do have to be discerning with what and who were around and what type of energy were allowing to be around us. It's the same with spirit world. This is more common and needs to be used (spiritual discernment) more with people who are starting to open up to their psychic, intuitive abilities. I really don't like to see (but have faced this myself) people starting out, on their spiritual path doing so well but then becoming afraid or feel it's to much hard work. Their facing resistance, which will no doubt come up, with anything new, as your in a process of release and changing,but then don't feel they can continue. Of course it's all to do with personal choice and it may just not be the right time to progress, but it will most definitely find you again at a further along stage, when your more ready. 

Meditation or having quite time and space is the best way to connect with your own spirit guides. Just like working with the Angels, you have to open up to, and request their help and assistance. Often your spirit team is waiting in the wings, formed and assigned to you from very early on. Your spirit guides will change, as you grow and change.

My first ever spirit guide, as a teenager was a lovely Native American, he was really gentle and kind, as I started to explore my spiritual path more. I would see signs and pictures of him everywhere! He helped me accept myself more, taught me animal and other types of symbolism, also to relate more to grounding and the changing seasonal earth energy. I'm very grateful to my first spirit guide, as I am to them all. I've had my great grandmother Rose (who I never met)  act as one of my guides as well as a Ascendard master melchelideck who does come in now and then and acts as a wise teacher, spirit guide.

Of course when your working a lot with spirit energy, you can tell more who is the right vibration for your energy and who you wish to work with and connect to. I recently got asked by one of my spirit guides to call in my gatekeeper. I must admit I didn't have much knowledge of these! I had to do some research before I did so, and found out these warrior type guides, act like spiritual bouncers, to filter and protect your space. As I called in my gatekeeper I asked to be matched with a energy that was for the highest good and light. Then suddenly a lovely bald headed, smaller guy with robes and a sword strapped to his belt stepped forward, as soon as he did I felt protected and am grateful for his new presence.

Our spirit loved ones, guides, teachers and helpers love to connect with us and really are just a thought away. They will never take away your own power, they want you to make choices for yourself and occasionally (once you have got used to working with or feeling your guides around you) they may step away or go quite, this is very common when you have to make a personal choice about your life or your going through a rapid period of growth and change.

To find out more and start to connect with your own guides, Look out for names that get keep getting repeated around you. Pictures, paintings, photos of simular looking people or even animals as they can act a spirit guides to. Also any particulars themes (could be a tv show or film) that are coming up around you.  

Sending loads of love and blessings and I would love to hear more about your spirit guides and journey with them or you can contact me for a psychic/ spiritual development session to find out more of how to work with your own spirit guides and team.
