How to Attune Yourself to Your Guides
And why you need to tell your soul team what you want (what you really, really want)
A couple of weeks before my guides broke through the veil between realms to connect with me in person, I said something offhandedly that turned out to be the magic words they needed.
While eating dinner at the counter with James, I was telling him about a guide who had connected with me. Aurelia had sent me her name while I was in meditation, then promised to send me mangoes as a sign. That night, while looking at the Anthropologie website, the first blouse on a page of hundreds of tops was called Aurelia. The next day, when I walked into our local co-op, I encountered an enormous display of mangoes. And then, later that night while listening to Pandora, a song I’d never heard before began to play. It was called Mango Tree. I loved this validation and I was thrilled to receive her message, but I wanted more.
“I just want to talk to my guides the way I talk to anyone else,” I said to James.
As it turns out, this triggered the first in a line of dominoes that needed to fall in order for my soul team to communicate with me in the way they do now. While they had, for some time, been working on figuring out how to pioneer this method of connecting directly, they needed me to be clear about what I wanted.
What I know now is that connecting the earth realm to the Light and the Galactica has always been a part of my life plan. But no one is beholden to their life plan, and my guides weren’t going to force the issue if it wasn’t something that I clearly desired. They needed to know that I—this version of me who is living in this lifetime, and not the version of me who had planned this lifetime—still wanted this.
When we make our life plans, certain things are written, meaning they’re set markers that you’ll arrive at within the course of your time in the Earth realm. Everything else is malleable. I think of it this way: in the river of your life, the boulders are the things that are written; everything else is the water rushing by. That water is your free will, and you get to choose the way it flows.
What Your Guides Know
Your guides are specifically working with you because they want to help you to have the best life possible. They know you from previous lifetimes and from your life in the Light and the Galactica. They are aware of the outline of what you wanted to get out of this lifetime. The people on your soul team were the ones who were working with you to create this outline. They can look into your energy and your light to try to understand how you’re doing, but they cannot know exactly what you’re thinking or feeling unless you tell them.
When I learned this, I was stunned. I had thought that my guides somehow knew everything that I was going through, but I was wrong. Members of my soul team had been working, throughout my lifetime, to understand what I wanted based on the output of the energetic readings they were observing. They were introducing me to people, places, and opportunities that they thought might resonate with me, but they didn’t know for sure.
Back in 2006, someone I knew asked me to rep their line of children’s clothing at a boutique trade show in New York City. A few weeks ago, 18 years after that event, I told Aurelia about how I had named my first cat, Imogen, after someone I met there.
“Oh. My. God,” Aurelia said, “I sent you to Bubble! I thought that you might find that you wanted to do something in that vein for work. And I wanted you to meet someone there who is one of our soul light connections—this guy named Rob!”
I hadn’t thought about that trade show in eons, but Aurelia was right. The trade show was called Bubble. And when I looked back through the emails I’d exchanged with the one person I’d befriended there, I saw that his name was, in fact, Rob.
While I never ended up doing anything related to that experience career-wise, it did give me an opportunity to explore New York and to prove to myself that I could do something I’d never done before. But if Aurelia had known what I truly wanted to do at that time, she would have moved mountains to put that exact experience in my path by connecting me with the right people. By taking the guesswork out of the equation, she would have been able to use her laser focus to get me to where I wanted to go. This is why it’s such a boon to you and to your guides if you can express exactly what it is that you want.
How to Tell Your Guides What You Want
There are a million ways to connect with your guides, but when it comes down to it, it’s all about connecting with your own light first.
When you talk to your guides, your thoughts generate a specific vibrational frequency which is picked up by an algorithm and delivered through an advanced technology which allows them to receive your messages. While this is, perhaps, not as magical or nearly as esoteric as any of us had imagined, I wanted to include this information in case shedding light on the process is as helpful for you as it has been for me. Because what I’ve learned is that our messages travel on the frequency of the light that connects us, and when we’re in a state of high vibration our words and thoughts come through most clearly.
It’s a lot like listening to a car radio. When you’re listening through a stable connection with the open sky around you, the sound can easily reach you. But if you’re driving through a concrete tunnel, the frequency needs to work harder to get the sound into your stereo system.
This isn’t to say that you can’t connect when you’re going through a difficult moment—your guides want to help you when you’re having a hard time. But in caring for yourself by treating yourself kindly and doing things that put you into a flow state, you’re lighting up the line through which they receive your messages.
When you’re in that state, your guides would love for you to think, talk, or write about what you want. This will give them the green light to begin ideating about how they can, as they say, make this into light, which is their way of saying that they’re going to turn your dreams into reality.
Our Methods of Connecting
If you would like to learn the specific methods that I and Laura Tati Laira use to connect with our guides, we would love for you to join us at our upcoming workshop. There, you’ll get hands-on experience with these simple to use exercises which were developed in collaboration with our soul teams. Our guides are also inviting one guide from each attendee’s soul team to be present at the workshop in order to establish a personal connection while we’re working together.
To learn more about the workshop, you can visit my website. And if you have any questions at all about anything in this post, please feel free to leave them in the comments. We would love to help you to connect into your soul team, and we’re excited to share everything we can with you.
