If you’ve been trying to hear your spirit guides and all you’re getting is silence, you’re not alone. Almost everyone on the spiritual path experiences this at some point. It can feel confusing and discouraging, but here’s the truth most people never hear: your guides aren’t silent, and you’re not blocked. You simply haven’t been taught the way Spirit actually communicates.
Once you understand this, everything begins to shift. The silence softens. The connection strengthens. And what once felt confusing becomes clear, natural, and comforting.
In this week’s episode, I walk through the three essential pieces that help your guide’s messages become unmistakable.
Let’s explore them.
1. Your Guides Aren’t Silent — You’re Listening with the Wrong Expectation
Most people expect spirit communication to sound like a conversation with another person: words, sentences, something loud or obvious. But your guides don’t communicate through volume. They communicate through vibration, subtlety, and energetic impressions.
What seems like “nothing” is often guidance you didn’t yet recognize.
Spirit commonly speaks through:
-
A gut pull or inner nudge
-
A sudden image
-
A warm wave of energy
-
A thought that feels slightly “not yours”
-
A memory that pops up out of nowhere
-
A shift in your chest or your emotion
-
A gentle sense of presence
This is the language of Spirit.
If you’ve been waiting for words, you’ve been tuned to the wrong frequency.
It’s just like radio: the music is playing, but if you’re slightly off-station, all you hear is silence. Once you tune to the right frequency, you realize the communication was happening the whole time.
2. Spirit Becomes Clear When You Shift From Thinking to Sensing
Most people try to hear Spirit with the one part of them that can’t receive spiritual communication: the thinking mind. This is the busy, analytical part I call the “Frankie Brain.” It tries to solve everything, protect everything, and make sense of everything. And because it’s so loud, it drowns out Spirit’s subtle language.
Spirit speaks to your sensing mind — the quiet, intuitive part of you that notices instead of analyzes.
You can feel the shift immediately by simply becoming present:
• Notice your breath
• Notice the weight of your body
• Notice the space around you
In that moment, something softens.
Your mind quiets.
Your awareness opens.
And your intuition rises to the surface.
This is the state Spirit uses.
When you’re here, subtle communication becomes easier to recognize. You may feel:
-
A gentle tingling
-
Warmth in the chest
-
A relaxing in your mind
-
A soft inner knowing
-
A quiet phrase that drifts in
-
An image that flashes by
-
A subtle shift in feeling
Spirit is incredibly subtle — so subtle that the thinking mind usually talks right over it. But once you listen with awareness instead of effort, the messages begin to stand out.
3. Allowing (Not Attempting) Turns Whispers into Clear Guidance
The moment you try to force a message, your thinking mind takes over and the connection becomes harder to perceive. But when you allow, your energy softens and Spirit has space to enter your awareness.
Here’s the simple practice:
-
Bring your attention into your body.
Feel your breath, your feet on the ground, the space around you. -
Invite your guide to gently shift their energy near you.
-
Notice what changes — without analyzing it.
You might feel warmth, a chill, a softening, a sudden emotion, a memory, or a quiet sense that someone is with you.
Noticing strengthens the connection.
Analyzing disrupts it.
Even thirty seconds a day of this practice trains your awareness to recognize Spirit’s subtle, loving presence. And very quickly, you realize something powerful: you were never unable to hear your guides. You simply didn’t trust the way they speak.
Why This Changes Everything
When you learn to hear Spirit clearly, you stop second-guessing your intuition. You stop wondering whether you’re imagining things. You make decisions with confidence and calm. And you feel supported instead of alone.
The silence wasn’t silence — it was unfamiliar language.
Once you learn that language, the communication becomes steady and unmistakable.
