For the longest time, I thought spirit guides would just show up with answers when I needed them. I pictured them like divine messengers dropping in unannounced, whispering wisdom at just the right moment. But as I deepened my spiritual journey, I learned something surprising:
Spirit guides don’t interfere unless invited.
They honor our free will. They want to help, but they won’t push their way in. The simple truth is, if you want guidance, you have to ask.
How to Ask for Guidance (and Actually Receive It)
- Be Specific in Your Request
Instead of saying, “Help me,” try: - “What’s the best next step for my career?”
- “Should I take this opportunity or wait for something else?”
- Trust the Answers (Even if They Don’t Come the Way You Expect)
Your guides may answer through signs, dreams, conversations, or even a sudden intuitive feeling. Pay attention. - Let Go of Control
We often ask for signs, then immediately doubt them. Spirit works in unexpected ways—trust what you receive. - Show Gratitude
The more you acknowledge and appreciate the guidance you get, the stronger the connection becomes.
Opening the Door to Spirit
Spirit is always speaking. It’s never a question of if the guidance is there—it’s a question of whether we’re listening. When we open ourselves up, when we ask and trust, we create space for something profound: a true relationship with the unseen forces that walk beside us. The more you invite your guides into your life, the more you’ll see that they’ve been with you all along. They are ready, they are willing, and they are waiting. The only thing left to do is ask.

If this topic speaks to you, I invite you to check out the latest episode of my podcast, Spirits Beside Us, called “Can’t Hear Your Spirit Guides? Here’s What’s Blocking You.” I sat down with Aaron French for an insightful conversation about how shifting from the mind to the heart can unlock powerful spiritual connection. We dive into Daoist teachings, the truth about intuition, and why trust is the bridge to clear guidance.
It’s a heart-opening discussion that will help you feel more aligned, supported, and tuned in to the wisdom that’s already all around you.
You can listen to the episode here or find it wherever you get your podcasts.
