For me, getting to know my spirit guide(s) is like being greeted by a cute grandma who is always bursting with excitement every time I see her.

It’s like calling in a wise, loving friend who’s been waiting to connect with you all along.

We all have spirit guides, but becoming aware of them is the first step in building a relationship with them.

What's worked for me to connect with my spirit guides:

Start by setting the intention to meet your spirit guide(s).

You don’t have to do anything elaborate—just get quiet. You could meditate to meet your spirit guide, or while you're journaling, say aloud or think,

“I’m ready to connect with my spirit guide.”

Your intention opens the space for that connection to start flowing.

Then, pay attention to the signs!

Spirit guides communicate in various ways—through dreams, synchronicities, inner knowing, or even random messages throughout your day.

15 signs to look for from the universe that your spirit guides are around:

• Feathers
• Repeated numbers (111, 222, 555, etc.)
• Songs or lyrics
• Animals crossing your path
• Sudden chills or tingles
• Finding coins
• Déjà vu
• Intuitive nudges
• Flickering lights
• Seeing rainbows
• Hearing a specific name multiple times
• Sudden smells (like flowers or perfume with no source)
• Books falling off the shelf
• Butterflies or birds often
• Feeling a presence when you're alone

These are some common signs to stay mindful of. When you see a sign or something you've asked for show up, say:

Say Thank You

The power of gratitude is underrated, but the universe responds very well to it and will continue to bring you the desires of your heart.

Keep a small journal to jot down every synchronicity you notice.

You might start seeing repeated numbers, finding feathers, or feeling specific energy around you. Tune in, say thank you, and take a few deep breaths to return to this moment. 

These are gentle nudges from your guide saying, “I’m here!”

But here’s the thing—

Just like you feed your physical body, your soul needs nourishment, too

You can’t eat a salad one time and expect to lose weight, right? The same goes for your soul.

Either (learning to) love yourself or nurturing your spirit is a daily practice.

Get into the habit of feeding your soul just as you do for your body, and fall in love with yourself.

Small changes can make huge differences in your life. (If you need a jump-start, grab my free 7-Day Spiritual Reset.)

And remember, you are loved and needed, just because you woke up today.

We all struggle with loving ourselves at some point, but connecting with your spirit guide can be a powerful act of self-love.

Start tomorrow by setting the intention to spend 15 minutes connecting with your spirit guides, meditating, praying (not sure what to say? Grab these free Daily Prayers to protect your energy and connect to your spirit guides), and journaling.

Then, wake up tomorrow and do it all again.

Your relationship with your guide will deepen daily, and you will recognize their unique energy and guidance more clearly.

Ask questions, and then wait for an answer.

The first feeling, thought, or idea you have is your answer. Invite your guides into your daily life, and—most importantly—listen with your heart.

Your spirit guides want to connect, uplift, and help you grow.

Trust that they’re with you, cheering you on every step of the way!

That was my experience meeting and nurturing a relationship with my spirit guides. Keep an open mind, and have fun!
