Unlocking Guidance from Your Spirit Guides
From Spirits Beside Us with Chris Lippincott
Right now, you might be feeling stuck — maybe in your career, your relationships, or simply at a crossroads in life. What you may not realize is that your spirit guides are already reaching out to help you see the way forward.
They’re speaking. You just might be asking the wrong questions.
In this episode of Spirits Beside Us, I share the one question that opens a clear channel to your guides — and the five simple steps to receive unmistakable guidance every single time.
The One Question That Changes Everything
Most people ask their guides closed questions like,
“Am I on the right path?” or “Should I take this job?”
These questions are like trying to tune into a radio frequency that doesn’t exist. They create static — pressure, fear, and confusion. Your guides don’t speak in absolutes. They speak in energy, nudges, and feelings.
Instead, ask this:
“What do I need to know today?”
This simple shift invites guidance instead of forcing it. It tells your guides, “I’m open. I’m ready to receive.” And when you do, the energy changes. You stop second-guessing yourself. Decisions that once felt impossible become clear.
Five Steps to Connect with Your Guides
Here’s how to open the channel and receive guidance clearly — anytime you need it:
1. Create a Sacred Space
You don’t need incense or crystals (unless you love them). Simply breathe deeply and set the intention:
“I am open to receiving guidance from my spirit guides right now.”
2. Ground Your Energy
When you’re overwhelmed or scattered, your energy rises into your head — and your guides can’t reach you clearly. Press your feet into the floor, feel your body, and imagine roots grounding you deep into the Earth.
3. Ask the Question
Say it silently or aloud:
“What do I need to know today?”
Ask with curiosity, not control. You’re not demanding an answer — you’re allowing one.
4. Receive Without Judgment
Guidance often arrives as a thought, an image, a word, or a subtle feeling. Don’t overanalyze it. Trust that whatever comes through is exactly what you need in that moment.
5. Take One Aligned Action
Guidance becomes stronger when you act on it. Take one small, simple action that honors what you received — a call, a pause, a moment of stillness. When you act, you signal to your guides, “I hear you.”
Recognizing Signs from Your Guides
Your guides are always communicating — often in ways so subtle we dismiss them as coincidence.
You might notice:
-
Repeating numbers or patterns
-
Sudden intuitive “knowing”
-
A gentle physical sensation — warmth, tingling, or calm
The difference between guidance and anxiety is energy.
Guidance feels calm and grounded. Anxiety feels urgent and pushy.
Your guides speak in four main languages — images, words, feelings, and inner knowing — and their messages are personal to you. Writing them down helps build an evidence trail, strengthening your trust over time.
Trust, Practice, and Relationship
When you ask, “What do I need to know today?” every morning for seven days, you’ll notice subtle shifts — more awareness, patterns, and synchronicities. Within a week, your connection deepens.
This isn’t about becoming a medium. It’s about remembering the guidance you’ve always had access to.
Consistency is key. Like any relationship, communication with your guides grows stronger with practice.
Deepening the Conversation
Once you start hearing your guides, a new question arises:
“Can I actually talk back to them?”
Yes — you can.
In fact, that’s how you move from receiving signs to having a real two-way relationship with Spirit.
