Spirit guides are a really important part of finding meaning and solace in the universe.
If you are just beginning your spiritual journey, you may have heard of spirit guides, but did you know that there are seven different types of spirit guides that are there to help us in life?
In this article, I will tell you about the different types of spirit guides and what they are there for.
What is a Spirit Guide?
Firstly, I want to say that everyone has spirit guides no matter who they are.
Even if you have not really practiced spirituality before, you still will have a range of spirit guides that are looking over you.
Because there is a huge range of spirit guides, it can be hard to succinctly define the term, ‘spirit guides’.
Some of our spirit guides do not exist in the physical realm that we experience, but others do.
Some are souls of the deceased, whereas others have never had a physical form.
Spirit guides can appear in so many different forms, and therefore it is really useful to know the different types of spirit guides.
The main thing that defines spirit guides is that they exist to help us on our journey in life.
They are here to protect us and guide us and will do so even if we are not connected with them.
They spur on our spiritual growth and allow us to connect with higher realms.
Some spirit guides have been with us all our lives, whilst others will come to us when we are in need.
They can give us advice, comfort us when upset, and send us messages of joy and peace.
The Different Types Of Spirit Guides
Now we know the general definition of spirit guides, and can see the importance of them in our lives, let’s take a look at the different types of spirit guides that are there to help us.
When it comes to the question of how many different types of spirit guides there are, truly nobody knows.
Some people claim that the only true spirit guides we have are our guardian angels, but others purport the existence of over ten types of spirit guides.
I have connected with seven different types of spirit guides, and because of this, I am going to tell you about these seven spirits.
Guardian Angels
The first spirit guide I am going to discuss is our guardian angels.
These spirit guides are with us from our birth until our death and are for us exclusively.
They are assigned to us before we are born, and we have more than one looking out for us.
Our guardian angels are like our special heavenly support team that is there to give us love, hope, and faith throughout our time on earth.
I must point out that, even though many people traditionally link angels to religion, you do not have to follow a specific religion to believe in angels.
Guardian angels are for everyone around the world, and no matter what religion we follow, we have them.
Our guardian angels are to help us with our spiritual journey and give us unconditional love.
Unlike other spirit guides, however, we will probably never see or hear directly from our guardian angels (unless we are really lucky!).
They exist on a different level of consciousness and rarely show themselves in person to us.
However, our guardian angels will often send us messages via numbers or physical objects, like white feathers.
They will send us signs to remind us that they are there, or hide messages in the physical world for guidance.
Archangels
Another important spirit guide type is archangels.
Unlike our personal guardian angels, archangels are there for everyone and can connect to whoever tries to connect with them.
As you can probably tell by their name, archangels are the highest form of angels in existence.
The existence of archangels has long been discussed, with cultures from around the world purporting the existence of these spirit guides.
There are seven different archangels; Micheal, Raphael, Gabriel, Ariel, Chamuel, Azreal, and Jophiel.
All seven archangels have their own areas of expertise and ways in which they can help you on your journey in life. These are:
- Archangel Micheal is the saint of protection and leadership. He can be called upon for guidance and help.
- Archangel Raphael is here for healing, be it emotional or physical.
- Archangel Gabriel is the angel of communication. When we are wanting to send or receive messages, we can pray to Gabriel.
- Archangel Ariel is the saint of animals and wildlife. When we are wishing to connect to nature, we can call upon Archangel Ariel for guidance.
- Archangel Chamuel is the angel of peace and kindness. He exists to heal and spread love.
- Archangel Azreal is known as the saint of death and grief, helping you deal with these aspects of life.
- Archangel Jophiel is the saint of beauty, allowing us to see beauty and light in the world around us. By connecting with him, we can…
