One of the first things, even in connecting to your spirit guides, is that in order to recognize their presence, first you have to take note of your own spirit.

A super simple way to do that is to rub your hands together, pull them apart, and just feel the dance of energy between your hands.

That’s your spirit right there. It’s kind of like a ball.

Another simple practice is placing one hand on your heart and one hand on your belly. Close your eyes. Just drop your attention into your heart space. You’ll notice that the chatter starts to quiet.

From here, start to lean into curiosity.

What is this energy that feels different than my head?
What does it feel like?

Give it voice. Give it language.
Acknowledge the presence.
Acknowledge the vibration.

Another huge thing in connection to your spirit guides, just like me or you here on the earth plane, is gratitude.

Your spirit guides really love gratitude.

Even something as simple as acknowledging their presence:

“Thank you so much. Thank you for helping me in all ways and always.”

Instantly, gratitude raises your vibration.

Remember, what we are grateful for instantly raises our vibration, and that gets us closer to the spirit world.

And just try it, even out loud right now. Name ten things that you love.

I love sunshine.
Fresh air.
Beautiful colors.
Kazoos.
Flowers.

Notice how, as you start naming things out loud, your own vibration shifts.

This brings us into the spirit guide world.

When we acknowledge, when we start to feel, when we start to be grateful, when we start to pay attention to all the ways we are already being helped, this starts to deepen and train our connection. It trains our head to notice all the subtle ways guidance is already speaking to us.

The big thing is that spirit guides do not speak English. They speak in signs. They speak in symbols. They’ll use other people.

It’s when you hear exactly the right thing at exactly the right time and think: “Oh my gosh, that was for me.”

That was your spirit guide coming through to help.

One of the ways my spirit guides speak to me and in my family is through pennies.

My grandfather used to flip us pennies and say, “In God we trust.”

So all the time I will find pennies, often when I’m asking for help.

I remember many years ago when my grandmother was between worlds. She had physically left her human body and I went to say goodbye.

I came back home feeling so sad, and I asked my guides for a sign. I said, “Please, I just need some reassurance.”

I went to get into bed and on my pillow was a penny.

That was the reassurance.

And the biggest way I could tell was that I could feel it resonate throughout my whole body.

I just said thank you.

Not only do I still have that penny, but I actually have a whole box of pennies that I’ve found and collected throughout the years when I’ve asked my guides and angels for help.

So just notice for yourself:

Do you have repeating numbers or signs?
Feathers?
Do you hear things on the radio?

And I love your spirit guides, too! Grateful for you.

Sending you all my love,
Sonia
