Every person has either one or more Spiritual Guides. If you weren’t aware you had a spiritual team, then you are now. Guides are assigned to us, and they live in the higher frequencies of the universe, the supernatural space or charmed realm as I like to call it. It is thought we have three to four Guides at any one time, and each of these Guides plays a different role or purpose in our individual lives. Guides often change over time as our needs or situations change. When this happens, there is almost a changing of the guards as older ones leave and new Guides come in. Most likely the new ones will have different or more relevant experience, knowledge and wisdom that we need at the said period of our life.

                         Who are our Spiritual Guides?

Spirit guides can be loved ones who have transitioned from here on Earth back into the energies of the universe at large, but usually, we don't know our guides personally. They can be anyone from the beginning of time to the last week and from any country, culture or race. Ancestors may also be guides. I’d like to add that even if your ancestors are not one of your guides, you can still call on them. I believe it prudent to never forget our ancestors. Remember them, keep them close and ask them for help. Thank them for how they lived and what they did… it’s because of them you are here today. Ancestors are often full of love, wisdom, encouragement and guidance and are always eager to assist us.

You may not always know the name of your Guides; it doesn't matter if you don't. If you would like to find out the name of your main Guide, though, ask them! Don't be disheartened if you do not receive a name back; it's their choice, after all.  It doesn’t mean they are not there. If you want to try, set the intention (ask) before falling asleep at bedtime for your main Guide to let you know their name as you dream. You may well remember it in the morning, hear it upon waking or a name may stick out to you later in the day.

What do Spiritual Guides do?

Each guide plays a role: protection, guidance and inspiration, to mention some. They are assigned specifically to each person to therefore best understand us and our situations. It's like having your own team of (free) mentors in the sky. They work as part of the unseen forces assisting you, many times you have been protected from danger or a situation and you're not even aware of it. For example, because you were 'inspired' to grab a coffee on the way to work, you avoided a car accident, or you felt guided to visit a museum or place of interest and met your soulmate. Take inventory of your life so far; you will see how this has played out. 

If the idea of invisible guides freaks you out, you also have free will. You do not need to listen to any of it but it sure makes life easier, smoother, and more fun if you do!

I want to round up this short post by letting you know of the Key Drop Power Nap. A technique to receive an inspired idea, a creative solution or a 'right' answer from the charmed realm. Many creative types use this method when they feel blocked or stuck. As I mentioned at the beginning, this is not new or the latest craze, but few are in the know of this powerful method. Here's how it works and how you do it. 

How to perform the Key Drop Power Nap

• You need a key or a metal object and a ceramic plate.
• Raise your question by setting the intention for an answer, or by asking out loud, in your head or by writing it down. 
• Sit in a comfy chair, lie on your bed, the sofa or wherever you want to take a nap. 
• Hold the key in your palm. Extend your arm out and angle your hand over the plate, which needs to be on the floor directly under in your hand holding the key.
• Drift off for a sneaky nap.
• As you reach the deeper sleep levels and lose consciousness, the key or metal object will drop from your palm onto the plate awakening you by the clatter it causes.
• It is in this waking state of sleep (called hypnogogic) you allow connection to the unseen forces, your guides and the mired of other supernatural creative help available that, in a normal wake state, you don't have access to.
• The idea, solution or answer will come to you.
• You may hear it, see it as an image or vision, feel it or realise the answer.
• It's best to write it down as these can slip away as quickly as they arrive, and you don't always remember.
• The answer or thought may not be familiar or logical. It might seem plain odd but there will be something in it if you follow it or pay attention to it.

Do let me know how you get on with the key nap and if you have garnered communication with your guides. A truly fascinating topic, I hope you agree.

Don’t forget your guides are with you all the time, ready for you to call on them.

Spreading the sorcery love,
