It is believed by the spiritual world (churches, mediums and clairvoyants) that every living person is accompanied by their own personal guide. A spirit guide is essentially a teacher who helps you to develop spiritually and exists in the subconscious.

Spirit guides were teachers, scholars or experts who have made a full spiritual journey throughout their past lives and have learned the necessary lessons through physical lives and bodies. They are now manifested in the spirit world to help those in the physical (us), as we need to learn lessons to make our own journey. They often follow a certain archetype (a stereotypical character) such as a wizard, graceful goddess or a native-American. These archetypes can help you to discover the area in which your spirit guide excels, e.g. graceful goddess helps calm the mind and promote tranquillity whereas a Native American helps to move you onto a different cycle of life.

The most common method used in finding or meeting spirit guides is meditation, which is a form of deep relaxation. Although it may take time to build up contact with a spirit guide, many will reveal themselves when you establish a trustful bond whilst meditating. Some guides may conceal their face, voice or name until they feel you are ready for their help. Most people have between one and seven spirit guides helping them in different areas of their life, and while most will stay with a person for a few years, they can come and go at any time.
