Often, when you find yourself struggling with commonplace obstacles, when you feel that the old ways don't work anymore, when you feel that you are swimming upstream, question yourself, are on the right path? Why are familiar ways so difficult? Why it is so difficult to keep things the way they were before? Maybe it is time to give up? Maybe it is time to move on? Maybe you just graduated from the previous spiritual lesson and are pushed by your guides towards a new lesson?
Of course, not all messages come from spirit guides, not all blockages come from spirit guides and not all pains come from spirit guides. It is important to learn to differentiate the signals which come from friendly spirits from other signals. So, you may want to calibrate the intuition by experimenting. You are bombarded with subtle messages daily. When you see subtle messages, make a note of them and see what happens if you follow them, or if you don't follow them and see how they feel and how they smell to you. Take a notice of seemingly random events: when your electronic glitches or crashes, when random text messages come to you, when you receive random phone calls, when a random book lands in your hands, when strangers speak to you, and when you are introduced to new people. Some of these messages are of little importance and other messages are jewels.
You can learn to recognize the messages from the spirit guides because if you follow them, everything happens nicely and if you don't follow them, these very things go on sour. When making big and small decisions, learn to meditate on them, speak to your spirit guides and listen to your feelings. The spiritual suggestions can be subtle, so it takes some practice to notice a sensations of the answers you get. For example, you may ask your guides whether a specific trip on a specific date is advisable and feel their answer. Some people better feel with their mind, others, with their heart, others with their hands, others with their stomach , it depends on your habits and active chakras. Feel the sensations you receive and interpret tham as an answer: Absolutely, Yes, That would be all right, Doesn't matter, Better not, No, Absolutely not. As you practice intuitive communication with your spirit guides, you can learn to ask right questions and receive their answers.
Among your friends you might have people with strong intuition. Ask them how do they receive their answers. A very good way to receive answers from spirit guides is through tarot cards. These cards are specially designed to get advice in life. Get a deck and read a little booklet that comes with it. It is all you need to start. I recommend a pack of tarot called 'Mucha'. It is very light, optimistic and of high vibration. It is under $20 on Amazon.
As you develop your intuitive communication with spirit guides, you will learn to recognize subtle suggestions, avoid blockages on your path, avoid being stuck and to move with the flow.
Along with subtle suggestions, seemingly random messages, synchronicities, blockages, traumas and accidents, spirit guides may use pains to guide you along your path. Usually, the pains sent by the spirit guides are reversible. As soon as you stop being stubborn and move in the right direction, the pain disappears.
To avoid such extremes as pains and accidents, i recommend listening to your spirit guides and also getting help from professional or amateur psychics. Some people can talk to spirit guides and ask directly what path they recommend to go. I recommend consulting psychics and channelers regularly - this helps not only navigating your life, but even more, together with your psychic guides and healers, you can magically influence your external circumstances and raise the level of your lessons.
While communicating with the spirit guides, keep in mind that they can give you only general advice. As teachers in school, they're prohibited from giving you answers to your problems, because for learning, you need to search and find the solution yourself. They can only guide you towards planned lessons and explain which specific problem you have to face this time. Often, they can show you a door, but you have to walk through the door yourself.So, the key to solving the problem is facing it- realizing that it is a lesson, and you have to face it. As I have mentioned, it often doesn't really matter which decision you make. It only matters that you faced the problem, and experienced the challenge of having to make a decision.
