Divine Guidance: 3 Ways To Connect With Angels, Spirit Guides, & Ancestors

How to get clear answers from your spirit team.

If you're here, chances are you've asked yourself the question, "Are we alone in the universe? Are we the only intelligent life forms out there?"

I know, because I've asked myself the same questions. But I didn't start finding the answer to those questions - which, by the way, is NO, we are not alone! - until I could see them for myself.

Accessing higher realms of consciousness, and the wisdom that lies within the dimensions imperceptible to our naked eye, is no laughing matter. However, you don't need to be a practiced psychic or come from an intuitive background to take the first step towards connecting with your "spirit team" - the beings residing in non-physical reality who are assigned to help you on your Life Path on Earth.

Here, you'll find my favorite ways to contact my spirit team. Use these methods to get in touch with your intuition, get answers to your prayers, and connect with the universe on a whole new level!

Observation: Seeing Signs In Everyday Life

By far the most common way to get in touch with your spirit team is through observation of the world around you.

We are infinitely connected to the complex, expanding web of the universe. Each thought and action pushes us into millions of fragmented timelines, all with different futures. So, how do you tune into the path that is meant for YOU? By observing the signs your spirit team is sending you on a daily basis, you will begin to see the interconnected webs of the world around you and discover where you are meant to go.

Signs are everywhere.

In this modern world of targeted advertisements and distractions, it can be easy to dismiss them as algorithmic coincidence. One of the best ways to tell if something is a sign is if it appears to you after you've only thought about it (not said it out loud, where your phone can hear you). That way, even if something peculiar appears on your phone, you know it's from your spirit guides.

Some common signs to look out for are:

1. Repeating number sequences, also known as Angel Numbers (1111, 333, 555, etc.)

2. Unusual or repeated animal and plant appearances/encounters

3. Repeated words or phrases (such as someone saying a word or phrase to you three different times in one day, with no outside prompting)

If you're particularly eager for an answer, ask your spirit guides to send you something specific for a "yes" or "no" so you can recognize it immediately. For example, if you the answer is "yes", show me a black and white cat. If the answer is "no", show me a shark.

Pay attention to license plate numbers, animals, phrases that seem directed at you, and so much more. Your spirit team and the universe are constantly responding to you - whatever you put out, you will receive back to you.

The Mind's Eye: Shamanic Journeying

Your imagination, your subconscious, is the gateway to another world entirely.

You've no doubt heard of meditation - the practice of focusing on your breath until your mind goes serenely blank of thought, enveloping you in the present moment. However, there are so many uses for meditation aside from calming anxiety or finding a moment of tranquility in your busy day.

Shamans (spiritual medicine people, healers, and guides of indigenous cultures around the world) have held the sacred medicine of meditation, or "shamanic journeying" to the land of the subconscious, for centuries. This practice, not dissimilar to hypnosis or lucid dreaming, is meditation on the next level. By inducing a trance-like state using the power of drums, song, or ceremony, a shaman (or any spiritually guided person) may access the realm in which they can meet and talk to their spirit guides.

I have met many powerful spirit guides through this method, and each experience has been insightful in a myriad of ways. If you're looking for a deep dive of my personal experiences, keep an eye out for future blog posts.

Through the power of shamanic journeying, you can do any number of things:

1. Wander distant, fantastical lands

2. Meet magical creatures, animals, and inter-dimensional beings

3. access your Akashic Records

4. Discover truths about the Future

5. Meet and chat with your ancestors and spirit guides

My favorite shamanic journey meditation can be found on YouTube here. Give it a try and let me know what your experience is like! Each journey is different, and contains the wisdom and power of eons.

The Written Word: Angel Writing

What if I told you that getting answers from your angels and ancestors was as simple as writing to them?

The magical act of angel writing is another simple way to get in touch with your spirit guides as you seek answers to your burning questions. Angel writing is the practice of calling on your angels (and the beings of the highest vibration who have your best intentions in mind) to speak to you through your own writing. It's a form of channeling that allows beings to deliver messages directly to you.

Though doubt may creep in about whether or not "you" or "your angels" are writing the messages with your hand, trust me - it's actually difficult to recognize your own handwriting when you angel write, because it's truly NOT your own voice coming through you!

One of the most exciting things I received through angel writing was learning the names of my guardian angels - beings who have never manifested as mortals on Earth, but who live in non-physical and are dedicated to assisting us through life. I will detail more of my personal experiences in future blog posts.

Learning the names of the beings you're speaking to makes it easier to call on them specifically for advice.

Here are the steps to get started with angel writing:

1. Find some quiet time and space for yourself with a journal, a pen, and a candle.

2. Write your questions down, including a message welcoming your angels to your session.

3. Light the candle and verbally invite your angels and the beings of the highest vibration with your best intentions in mind into your space.

4. Close your eyes and breathe deeply until you achieve a calm, meditative state.

5. Put your pen to paper and release expectations. You will naturally begin to write as thoughts "pop" into your head, answering your questions.

6. When finished, write a thank you note to your angels for their messages and close the channel by blowing out the candle.

Final Thoughts...

Talking to beings from other planes of reality can be very fun! But heed the warning of all supernatural horror movies: specifically invite spirits who only have your BEST interests in mind and who occupy the HIGHEST vibrations. LOW vibration spirits are those who can cause trouble and discord, so be mindful of who you let access your space.

I hope you enjoy connecting with your spirit team! Have another method of connection that you prefer? Let me know in the comments!
