Connecting

with Your

Spirit

Guides: A

Journey to

Higher

Wisdom &

Healing…

In the journey of spiritual awakening and self- discovery, many feel drawn to connect with their spirit guides - beings of light and wisdom that support us from beyond the physical realm. Spirit guides come in many forms, from Ascended Masters and Guardian Angels, to Star Beings, Ancestors and Nature Spirits. Their guidance can help us navigate life's challenges, deepen our spiritual practice, and assist in our personal and energetic healing. Whether you’re new to working with spirit guides or looking to deepen your connection, this article explores the different types of spirit guides, how they help us, and ways to enhance your connection with them so that you can better understand their messages and accept their support. You may have experienced the sense that someone is “watching over you”, or felt the presence of a loving spirit during difficult times. We all have guides and guardian spirits within the etheric realms, and if we choose to, we can connect with them in a conscious way and develop that relationship in ways that help us progress our path to wholeness.

Who Are Your Spirit Guides? And

What Are Familiars?...

Spirit guides are benevolent beings that assist us on our life path. Their presence is often subtle but deeply felt by those who tune into their energy. In my own practice, I’ve developed powerful spiritual and emotional connections with a number of light-beings, deities and Ascended Masters – some of whom offer support and guidance on a regular basis. From my own experience I recommend nurturing your relationship with your spirit guides by regularly connecting and communing with them. A great way to discover your own spiritual support team is to work with the Spirit Guide Journey Activations. In addition to Spirit Guides, some people may have “familiar spirits” – I have a four familiars that I work with daily and which fulfil roles within the Mayastar Temple during channellings, rituals, spells, attunement-sending and healing sessions. Familiar spirits are unique spirit allies that often take the form of animal companions, elemental beings, or ancestral spirits. Unlike traditional spirit guides, familiar spirits are more deeply intertwined with an individual’s personal energy and spiritual practice. They can act as protectors, messengers, and conduits of magical energy. Many witches, shamans, and healers work with familiar spirits in rituals and energy work. They often communicate through intuition, dreams, or synchronicities and can serve as lifelong spiritual companions. Although familiar spirits are not spirit guides per-se, they deserve a mention in this article!

Different Types

of Spirit

Guides…

1. Ascended

Masters

These are highly evolved spiritual teachers who have walked the earth before reaching enlightenment. They guide humanity toward greater wisdom, healing, and ascension. If you feel drawn to connect with the Ascended Masters, the Ascended Masters Attunements could be a powerful option for you! Some well- known ascended masters include:

Serapis Bey

Known as the master of spiritual discipline and enlightenment. Connect through Serapis Bey Ray of Harmony

Kuthumi

A wise guide assisting with spiritual growth and wisdom. Connect through Kuthumi’s Crystalline Light Activation

Jesus

Master of Love & Healing, and guide to Christ Consciousness. Connect through the Sacred Heart of Jesus Empowerment

Buddha

Support in developing inner peace, mindfulness, meditation & higher consciousness. Connect through Buddha Bliss Attunement

Quan Yin

A Bodhisattva that guides us to develop compassion and mercy. Connect through Quan Yin’s Compassionate Heart Healing

2. Guardian Angels

Guardian angels are assigned to us at birth, staying with us throughout our lives to offer protection, comfort, and inspiration. These celestial beings help us align with our soul’s highest path. If you’re drawn to angelic energy, the Guardian Angel Reiki attunement can help you connect deeply.

3. Animal Spirit Guides

Spirit animals (or power animals) bring messages, strength, and guidance based on their natural traits. Examples include:

- Owl – Wisdom and intuition

- Wolf – Loyalty and leadership

- Butterfly – Transformation

and renewal

- Dolphin – Inner child healing

and joy

- Bear – Strength and self-

sufficiency

Animal guides can appear in dreams, meditations, or even physical encounters. Connect with these energies through the Lightworker Animal Empowerments or the Native American Animal Medicine Empowerments

4. Ancestors & Ancestral Spirits

Your ancestors hold profound wisdom and often guide you through your lineage’s spiritual gifts and lessons. Connecting with them can bring ancestral healing and a sense of rootedness. Connect with them through the Starseed Spirit Guide Connections Course

5. Star Beings

Many lightworkers feel a deep connection to extraterrestrial guides, including Pleiadians, Arcturians, and Sirians. These beings assist with spiritual evolution, DNA activation, and cosmic healing. If you resonate with these energies, the Pleiadian DNA Clearing & Activation Course, Arcturian 12D Healing Chamber or the Sirian Light Pyramid Activation can help you to strengthen your relationship.

6. Nature Spirits & Fairies

If you feel a strong sense of connection to the sacredness of the earth and sense the presence of the guardian spirits and elementals when you’re out in nature, you may find powerful allies in the form of Nature Spirit Guides. These beings can help us to tap into our place in the natural world, help us to find our grounding, and help us to recognise the beauty of the natural world and the divinity expressed in our 3D reality. If you resonate with these energies good options would be the Fairy Lightworker Programme, Nature Deva & Fairies Attunements or Elen of the Ways

7. Lemurian Light Beings

The Lemurians are light beings that ascended from the ancient land of Lemuria or Mu, and are considered to be powerful guardian spirits that guide us in our healing, creativity and spiritual awakening path. They are connected with the elements of Earth and Water, and are believed to be present on our planet even to the modern day. They serve as guides to spiritual seekers and help us to anchor our highest frequencies of light/soul energy into the physical plane, creating a matrix of love that surrounds the whole world. If you feel drawn to connect with the Lemurians, the Lemurian Indigo Connections, Lemurian Starseed Activation or Lemurian Goddess Amara Activation would all be great options.

8. Avalonian Light Beings

These beings are connected with Celtic mythology and with the fairies and elemental spirits that act as guardians and anchors of light energy in Sacred Isle of Avalon. Avalon is accessible by energy portals within and around Glastonbury Tor in the UK, but Avalon itself is a spiritual dimension so we can connect with the Avalonian beings from any location through focused intention and working with the energies that connect with them. If you feel drawn to develop a relationship with the Avalonians, the Avalonian Alignment Programme, Star of Avalon Ascension and Avalonian Spectral Activations would all be good options.

Ways to

Connect with

Your Spirit

Guides…

1. Meditation &

Stillness

Meditation allows you to quiet the mind and become more receptive to subtle messages from your guides. You can: - Set an intention to meet your spirit guide. - Ask for guidance and pay attention to visions, thoughts, or feelings. - Keep a journal to track recurring symbols and messages. - Pay attention to your dreams as messages and guidance can be communicated in this way

2. Energy Healing & Attunements

Receiving an attunement can open your energetic channels and strengthen your connection with spirit guides. Attunements to specific types of light-beings can help you to resonate with those guides more strongly, and by bringing in those energies during other practices to connect with your guides or receive messages can lead to more effective and powerful communication.

3. Automatic Writing & Journaling

This is a powerful way to receive direct messages from your guides: - Sit in a quiet space, take a few deep breaths, and ask your spirit guide to communicate with you. - Write down whatever thoughts or words come to you—don’t judge or overthink it. - Over time, you may notice themes or patterns in the messages.

4. Dreams & Astral Travel

Spirit guides often communicate through dreams and astral experiences. Before sleeping, you can: - Set the intention to receive guidance in your dreams. - Keep a dream journal to track symbols and recurring messages. - Practice lucid dreaming techniques to consciously engage with guides.

5. Rituals & Offerings

Some spirit guides, like ancestors and star beings, respond well to rituals: - Create an altar with candles, crystals, and symbolic items that represent your guide. - Leave offerings such as flowers, water, incense, or affirmations of gratitude. - Perform a simple ritual, lighting a candle and calling on your guide to connect. If you feel drawn to progress your path with any of my courses, I look forward to working with you! And I wish you blessings and joy in your energy work and communications with your spirit guides.
