have you ever wanted to know the difference between your guardian angels
and your spirit guides if so then stay tuned
first I would like to thank Mary Flynn for her wonderful and thoughtful
question how to tell the difference between angels and your spirit guides
are they one in the same do your loved ones become your guides when they pass
thank you Mary and a lot of people actually have this question because
there's so many beings that exist in the spirit world so many different
dimensions and energies all around us that sometimes it can seem quite
confusing and of course we don't want to say yeah definitely that was a sign for
my loved one if it's from an angel or a passing ghost or something else in the
spirit world when we get authentic meaningful messages from our loved ones
in the spirit world we want to know that it's them and when we're being guided
and protected by our angels we want to know that it's them too so it is
important to have discernment and have a sense of who the Spirit is that's
communicating to us and giving us signs and symbols for our benefit so in this
video I'm gonna break it down in a really simple way for you now first
we'll start off with angels your guardian angel and other angels in the
universe actually work for God but they are like an in-between a mediary
between God and you they serve mankind they come in to protect you and guide
you and they must be asked before they can intervene in your life or help you
make corrective changes or receive healing that you're looking for so
calling upon your angels allows them to step forward and serve you in the way
that they're meant to that is their full-time job but they sit on the
sidelines and they wait until you ask when you're receiving signs from angels
a lot of times you will actually get feathers or words or numbers you'll
get a lot of feathers and answers in the form of words or voices from people or
radio or TV or books around you they often give you very subtle signs
although they can be quite powerful they can move things they can do miraculous
supernatural things and I've experienced this personally the angels are powerful
however most of the time when they're guiding
you and protecting you they're doing subtle things they work with your own
consciousness to help you become more aware and gently guide you in the right
direction angels have many different ways that they communicate to you and
give you signs and symbols if you'd like to learn more about how to make contact
with them and how to communicate directly with the angels and how to
receive and understand their meanings and symbols check out this video here
next we have the spirit guides and every single human has a spirit guide team
that's right TEAM it's literally made up of so many
different beings in the spiritual world many of which have shared lifetimes with
you in the past ancestors from this lifetime or indigenous people from
cultures that we originate from they can also be people that have really
accomplished what it is that your Life Path currently is in other words if
you're a young physician in medical school one of your spirit guides most
certainly will be a very esteemed doctor that has lived their life fulfilling
their greatest potential and they'll be able to impart their wisdom and
knowledge on to you through guidance and ideas and whispers of thoughts that come
to you they may actually give you ideas of which medical school to go to
which hospital to pursue work at or give you that little subtle whisper of
intuition when you're actually working with a client and giving you some new
inspiring ideas of how to treat it so every single profession will have its
own professional spirit guide that has achieved the highest standards in a
spirit world that steps in to work with them it's just our ability to listen to
them that matters you can also call upon new spirit guides if you start an
artistic project you naturally will call to you other artisans that reached that
level of status when they were living and they will come to you in the spirit
world to infuse you with the creativity and inspiration that they once drew upon
also you can ask for specific guides to come to you if they're in the spirit
world it could be Mozart it could be Picasso
number of artisans of all kinds writers artists musicians playwrights you name
it there's no limit if somebody is in the spirit world and they've reached a
high level of success and accomplishment in their skill and trade they can come
to you as a spirit guide and best of all they can be with more than one person at
a time because once they're in the spirit world
their energy expands out and you can literally have masses of people that are
influenced with one specific spirit guide
that's imparting all their knowledge to them it's really important to keep in
mind spirit guides are not angels angelic beings have never been human
where spirit guides have been and you can also have spirit guides that are
animals and that's what we normally refer to as animal totems so when spirit
guides utilize the symbology of animals and identify very closely with their
animal companion and their totem animal this also can be a spirit guide
representative for you and they will lead you in the ways of their creative
being so in other words deer embody certain energies and if you have a totem
that's a deer this is the energy that they will bestow upon you when you call
upon them or when they're coming near or around you and giving messages in the
physical world if your totem animal is a bluebird maybe it's a messenger maybe
it's just saying hello but when it comes in as a totem for you you'll actually be
embodying the energies the Bluebird represents spirit guides maybe a little
louder than angels and may show up in a lot more symbolic forms utilizing
animals utilizing numbers they like to work behind the scenes and make
connections and it's usually based upon your life path and so they're always
working on your part to network you and to get you in front of the right people
and help you establish yourself with your life purpose when you're being
guided by your spirit guide it has everything to do with your path and
purpose for being here spirit guides often come to you in your dreams they're
easy to reach in meditation but they often will work through other people
spirit guides can send any number of signals you may all of the sudden
smells sage or a different herbal scent and if you can't relate that to any of
your loved ones that have passed that most likely is your spirit guide trying
to introduce themselves to you especially if your spirit guide was
Native American or from an indigenous culture where they burned a lot of sage
or different types of herbs with their sacred work so if this is not a familiar
smell for you you will know that this is from the spirit world and is most likely
your spirit guide your spirit guides often will whisper things to you as well
they're always looking out for you and they have your back so never ever think
you're alone your spirit guide team is huge and they come in they come out
you'll have different influences at different times of your life your spirit
guide team has your best interests at heart so they don't have to observe the
same rules that angels do you don't necessarily have to ask your spirit
guides to help out but it does help if you do and it does help if you establish
a rapport with them and pay a little attention to who they are and what
they're doing for you because boy when you do you'll start getting more and
more and more help and more support from the spirit world now when your loved
ones pass and they're visiting you from the afterlife you'll know this for sure
because your loved ones in spirit they have a relationship with you that's
very solid you know them you know their personality and you know enough about
them to know that if they smoke this kind of cigarette in life when they come
in spirit it will smell exactly the same it won't be just a smoky smell but
exactly the same if they wore certain Cologne they can easily send you the
same Cologne scent for you to identify them if they just wore a certain color
and we're always known for wearing a certain color they may guide you to
those colors pennies from heaven and all kinds of different symbols the thing is
with loved ones in the spirit world it will always be personal personal dates
personal events personal colors personal scents words of affirmation
things that they wanted to say to you they will be very unique and very personal
there is no misidentifying when a loved one in the spirit world is trying to
communicate with you you'll also feel this one in your heart chakra as soon as
they come in contact with you regardless if it's a touch a dream or a symbol from
the world around you you will feel it immediately in your heart to me this is
one of the most beautiful experiences to have because whenever you feel your
loved one it's literally like your heart chakra just expands you may feel an
expansion a warmth a tingling if you don't have to think it into creation
it's just instant it happens and it's like BAM your heart opens and you feel
them you may also well up with tears or feel
hot or flushed this is a really great connection with the spirit world when it
happens and this is definitely your loved one making strong contact with you
if you've experienced this now going back to Mary Flynn's question she said
do your loved ones become guides upon their passing well yes they can
typically our loved ones come in to visit they do drive-bys they check in on
you they see how you're doing you want to make sure that you're okay and they
want to make sure that you know they're okay
and after that they kind of back off because there's a lot to do on the other
side and they want to give you your own space to grieve to heal and to create
some new life paths for yourself and to bring new people into your life they
want you to have this room to do it because part of their passing meant that
it left an opening for you to create something new in your world and they do
want you to have this sometimes our loved ones don't back off
they literally stay glued to us and that's when you know that they have
become your spirit guardian so it's a loved one that you knew that you're very
close to in the spirit world or could be an ancestor that you weren't so close
with but you're related to and they could choose to be your spirit guardian
now what that means is they have assigned themselves to you as a sort of project
sort of like a life long project and they will work with you as the spirit
guides do they will be with you they can step in they can help you they can alert
you to things they can warn you of danger they can guide you in your dating
options they can help you find the right job or the right places to live so you
don't necessarily have to call them in as you would other loved ones in the
spirit world because they're right here and they're not going anywhere
a lot of times you'll notice that they actually become part of your
consciousness almost as if your personalities feel merged you may feel
under their influence sometimes you may get creative ideas that they would have
had you may have a higher energy level if they were a highly energetic person
you may even incorporate some different skills that you didn't think you had
before if they're really that close to your energy field and with you so much
so it's a really unique way for a loved one to guide you through the rest of
your life and this is a huge commitment not all loved ones are going to become
your Spirit Guardians they all love you and will be with you but these Guardians
they're with you in the course of my lifetime I have lost many many many
people many loved ones many friends and I can say that out of all the ancestors
loved ones and friends that have passed I am aware that two of them have become
spirit guardians to me and I was aware of it immediately I knew it upon their
passing both of their deaths impacted my life changed my life path and really
affirmed what I was supposed to be doing and then their presence and their
interaction with me really helped me to move forward with my gifts and abilities
as a medium in my personal life I've experienced the cause and effect of
having two loved one's becomes Spirit Guardians I know what it feels like to
receive guidance from them to know that they're with me always and to be able to
easily connect with them and tune in with their energy if you do have a loved
one that passed and think that it's a spirit guardian I
love to know all about it and if you're aware of who your angels are your spirit
guides and you've had any unique experiences with the spirit world as
they're introducing themselves to you or building that relationship with you I
would love to hear about it I hope this clears up the difference for
you between immortal beings called angels our spirit guides who always were
physical at some point in their life and lived whether they be human or animal
and our spirit guardians which can be loved ones in the spirit world I want to
