6 Types Of Spirit Guides [And 6 Ways To Connect With Them]

Welcome to the Will Kaminada Podcast.

Here's the place to find support and guidance on your spiritual awakening and healing journey.

It is my mission to help you awaken,

Heal,

And expand your consciousness.

Hello beautiful soul.

I'm so glad you're here.

I'm grateful and honored that you chose to listen to the Will Kaminada Podcast.

In this solo cast episode,

I've selected six types of spirit guides to talk about and I'll also share six ways that you can connect with them.

My intention is that with this awareness,

You can feel more supported and guided by these beings of light who love you so much.

It doesn't matter if you've had past experiences or connections with any kind of spirit guide or not.

This episode is for anyone who'd like to learn more about the spiritual realm and expand their awareness in order to feel more connected within.

Alright,

So let's talk about spirit guides.

So first thing that you need to know is that we all have a team of spirit guides always guiding us,

Always protecting us,

Loving us,

Even if or when we aren't aware.

So some people say,

I don't have a spirit guide or have never really connected with my spirit guide,

But we all do.

And like I said,

They're always helping us,

But we are not aware either because we don't believe in them or because we're not open enough to consciously receive their guidance.

When we become aware of them,

We are kind of like working with them.

So in a way,

We're making their job easier,

If you will.

Some people think that their guidance is most prevalent amidst painful moments or a major life choice.

But these are moments when we,

Even if subconsciously,

We open our hearts to their guidance because we surrender by praying or asking for signs,

Especially when we're feeling painful emotions.

You know,

We feel like our heart is broken,

But it's through the cracks of your heart that light comes in and then they will come to protect you and to help you and love you and guide you and help you heal.

And the other little myth that I want to debunk is that you're never bothering them.

Never bothering them with your prayers and asking them for signs because their boundless love,

Light and support is powerful beyond our comprehension.

Remember that no ask is too big and no need too small.

No ask is too big and no need too small.

They can also appear in both formless or possess form,

But they essentially are vibrational beings of light.

They respond to frequency.

That's why it's so important for us to raise our vibration through meditation,

Through gratitude,

Through prayer,

Yoga,

Sound,

In order to open up the channels for communication.

So with that out of the way,

Let's talk about the six types of spirit guides.

These are types that I came up with from my personal experience over the years.

So the first one is deceased loved ones,

Usually family members,

But they can also be close friends.

So it can be anyone from what I call your soul family.

We have energetic bonds from lifetimes and lifetimes and usually that's something that I believe we incarnate in the same family unit.

So we are always energetically bonded and connected in different roles through lifetimes.

And when they make the transition,

They can become our spirit guides.

And usually we are more open to connect with them because of the soul connection and because they are familiar to us.

Like we know them,

Like we have a memory of how they sound,

Of how they look,

Their personality.

And so that's like already embedded in our consciousness.

Plus,

We are usually not afraid of them,

Not afraid of making some kind of connection or communication with them.

So for this reason,

We become more open to communicate and receive their guidance.

And basically they help us deal with grief and they help us with next steps in life.

And I say this from experience because as some of you might know,

I've already mentioned in some previous podcasts,

I lost the physical form of my father when I was eight years old.

And I started having dreams about him.

He would come into my dreams and he would tell me some usually loving,

Comforting message.

He would tell me he's okay.

He would tell me that we will be okay.

And over the years,

That was kind of like our communication.

And so when we're talking about spirit guides,

For me,

From my experience,

The first connection that I've had,

I've ever had with the spirit guide was with my father.

And so that's why I say,

You know,

Usually your deceased loved ones become your spirit guides and you can connect with them and communicate with them because they're familiar for you.

So number two is ancestors.

Also because of the soul connection.

And I mean,

Your deceased loved one can also be your ancestor,

But I mean more like the ancestors that perhaps you haven't necessarily met in this life or like your grandparents or your great great grandparents.

And it's also important to point out that ancestors can also refer to our cultural and racial roots.

And basically they help us heal karmic bonds and ancestral traumas and wounds.

And then we have angels.

Now that's a whole other story.

I mean,

People who love angels and who have been studying angels,

They can say that there's a lot to talk about.

So this is I'm just literally just like mentioning the types of spirit guides and angelic beings in general,

They are spirit guides.

So we have a garden angel that's assigned to us when we are born and they stay with us for this course of this lifetime.

Usually they might be assigned by archangels,

Which is kind of like a quote unquote,

Higher rank of angels.

So like Archangel Michael and Raphael,

Gabriel,

Uriel.

And it's important here to point out that there are variations depending on one's beliefs,

Creed studies and cultures.

So not everyone,

For example,

Will perceive angels as we perceive as people perceive in Christianity.

And essentially they help us with major life choices,

Major important messages that we need to know.

And sometimes in the specific situations that you might be going through,

Like a breakup or a loss of a loved one,

You know,

They might come,

They might be like the expert angel in that area and then they will come to help you.

Right.

So,

So far we have deceased loved ones,

Ancestors,

Angels,

And now we have ascended masters.

So ascended masters are masters,

Beings that have reached enlightenment and they won't incarnate anymore.

So an example,

Obviously Jesus and Buddha.

So they came to this life to bring a message,

An important message for humanity.

So yeah,

Jesus and Buddha,

But you know,

It's important to point this out here too.

In the Hindu gods and goddesses,

They are also ascended masters.

So again,

It depends,

There are variations depending on one's beliefs and creeds.

And basically their role is to help the collective to ascend.

And next we have spirit animals,

Which not many people think about,

But yes,

Animals can be,

Animals are your spirit guides.

And we have to remember here that they are ancient beings that came way before us and they,

They bring symbolisms that can help us grow and shape our personality.

So you know,

Notice what animals you are drawn to and why,

Like what's your favorite animal.

Maybe you have a favorite animal and you've never really understood why you love them so much.

Like for me,

I love whales ever since I was a baby and I just never had a specific reason.

But I believe that either I was a whale in the past life or I am a whale in a parallel life or they're just my spirit guides.

But also recently,

I mean not recently,

About two years ago,

When I had my ayahuasca experience,

I connected with the lions,

With cats,

Specifically lions and Puma,

The Puma.

If you've heard my experience in one of my previous episodes,

You probably know that story already.

But all of that to say that when this came to my consciousness,

I started having dreams about Pumas and I looked it up,

You know,

Their symbolism and I actually remembered the feeling that I had when I was having that experience.

What they were trying to teach me,

What emotions they were trying to bring up in me and I remember it was just a sense of trusting intuition,

Of trusting your inner power.

So I'm sure they're guiding me too.

So that's what I say,

You know,

Notice what animals you're drawn to and then research their meanings and traits and then perhaps you'll understand why.

And their connection with planet Earth helps us to connect with Mother Gaia.

So if you feel connected to nature and,

You know,

Preservation of nature,

Your spirit animals are very present.

And then we have star seeds,

Aka higher dimensional beings,

Star beings,

Extra dimensional beings,

Aliens or ETs.

I don't like aliens and ETs so much because then we have that Hollywoodian idea of those beings.

But they are essentially beings of light that protect and guide our planet and the whole galaxy and the universe.

You know,

Some people call them the Galactic Confederation.

So a few examples of star seeds are the Pleiadians,

Which I talked about a little bit in the previous episode about the 5th Dimension,

The Arcturians,

The Syrian star seed,

The Orion star seed amongst others.

That's also like the angels.

This is also like a topic that if you want to go deep,

It's like a rabbit hole because more and more you find more civilizations and species.

It's fascinating though.

I've been studying a lot about them,

Especially the Pleiadians.

And I hopefully I'll do an episode on the star seeds or the Pleiadians.

Let me know if you would like that.

And these beings,

They may or may not have been here on Earth before.

And essentially they help us and the planet Earth to ascend and they are working for the highest good of the whole universe.

And you are probably drawn to them if you're into astrology,

Cosmology,

Past lives,

Ancient civilizations.

Alright,

So these are six types.

So just a quick recap.

We have deceased loved ones,

Ancestors,

Angels,

Ascended masters,

Spirit animals and star seeds.

Right.

So now I'm going to give you six.

Six is the number of this episode,

Six ways that you can connect with them.

And just before I give you the six ways,

I want to talk a little bit of how we can communicate with them.

How can communication happen?

So remember that they are vibrational beings because they are vibrational beings.

They can communicate with us in many different ways and usually in ways that makes sense for us.

And I'll give you like a quick example for me.

Like because I'm a singer and songwriter,

I listen to a lot of music.

I pay attention to the lyrics.

So usually when there is a song that comes up on the radio or randomly,

I pay attention to the lyrics and most times they make sense to me.

It's like a message that I need to hear.

But it can happen,

You know,

Through signs,

Coincidences,

Synchronicities and telepathy,

Visions,

Emotions,

Physical sensations.

But it's important to remember this.

Like I said,

They are vibrational beings.

When we vibrate in fear,

Neediness,

Worry,

These are low vibration and so we hinder the communication.

But don't worry,

Don't despair.

All you have to do is focus on gratitude and love so that you can match their vibration.

So again,

A quick example is if you're asking for a sign but you're feeling that sort of heavy,

Low energy of neediness or worry or fear.

And so instead of saying,

Please,

Spirit guides or angels,

Please show me the way,

Please,

Please,

Please,

You can state,

Raise your vibration through gratitude and state in gratitude.

Thank you,

Angels.

Thank you,

Spirit guides for showing me the way,

For giving me the signs and showing me the way in a way that I understand,

In a way that makes sense to me.

Thank you.

My heart is open.

That's all you have to do to raise your vibration.

The other thing that is important to remember is that they always respect our free will.

Also,

Very important,

They always bring a loving,

Peaceful and comforting energy.

Okay,

If they don't,

Remember that it's not so much about the negative entities,

Or it could be,

Although,

You know,

I'm not going to go into that.

I don't really like to focus on the negative entities,

Because basically,

It's more about the energy that you're vibrating in.

Again,

If you're vibrating in fear,

You are opening channels for negative entities.

So it's not so much that they are attacking you.

It's more like,

It's more about your vibration,

The vibration that you're in,

And you have the power to change and raise your vibration.

So again,

Raise your frequencies to match theirs through gratitude and love.

And now we're talking about the free will too.

If you have ever,

Like,

If you are in a situation where you're feeling like spirit guides are around you,

But you're feeling fearful and you don't want to communicate with them,

You don't want to connect with them,

All you have to do is just state,

I'm not open to this,

Thank you.

And they will respect you.

And another very,

Very common question that I get asked a lot is,

How do I know if it's the voice of my ego or my spirit guides?

And I might have to do a whole episode on this because I've had experiences in the past where I doubted so much the voice of my guides.

And it was a very common question in my mind,

Like,

Is it the voice of my ego?

Is it?

Am I making this up?

Is it my imagination?

But basically,

In a nutshell,

Like I said,

The voice of your spirit guide will feel loving,

Peaceful,

Comforting,

Reassuring.

And often oftentimes,

In my experience,

Very simple,

Very straightforward,

Like it's not open.

It's not open to many ways to interpret it.

It's usually it's usually just like very straight to the point,

Like,

Believe it,

Trust it.

You're good,

You're well,

Keep going,

Something that's very easy to understand.

And again,

It's the feeling.

How does it feel?

Does it feel loving?

Does it feel peaceful?

If it feels fearful?

If it feels negative,

It's your ego for sure.

And the more you practice,

The more you will know the difference and I'll talk about this right now.

Actually,

I got one more thing.

I also get asked if the voice of intuition is different to the voice of spirit guides.

And what I have to say is that basically your intuition is in itself a direct link to your spirit guides to the divine to God to the universe to your ancestors.

So what sometimes you feel is your intuition may actually be one of your guides.

And we were talking about,

You know,

Being the observer of your thoughts and the voice and recognizing the voice of your spirit guides,

Being able to discern whether it's your ego,

Or your imagination,

Although your imagination can also be your spirit guides.

So I would say like practicing becoming the observer of your thoughts,

You will recognize whether it's the ego or your spirit guides.

And the best thing for this is number one,

Meditation.

The constant practice of meditation,

Constant practice of meditation will enhance your senses,

All of your senses,

Your sixth,

Seventh,

Eighth senses,

And it will open the channels to communicate with your guides.

All right.

And like I said,

When you practice becoming the observer of your thoughts,

You just know when it's your ego,

You know when you,

When it's your spirit guides.

And also like,

I'll give an example for me,

It always comes through my left side.

So I know that that voice coming through my left side is my spirit guides or it's my intuition.

But that takes practice.

Number two is writing.

I believe that writing in itself can be considered a form of channeling.

And so the constant practice of free writing of journaling can also open the channels to accessing messages from your guides.

And then all you have to do really maybe after a quick meditation,

You can just get a journal,

Get a pencil or paper.

I feel like it's better than typing because you're holding with your hands,

You're holding a pencil.

Although if you know if you're used to typing,

That can work too.

But find that,

That journal,

Find that moment and just literally start writing or you can ask yourself what like you can ask your spirit guides,

What do you want me to know today?

And then just start writing.

I promise you'll be surprised.

Number three is dreams.

So I mentioned this earlier in the in the episode that I started having dreams with my dad.

And some of your dreams may be you connecting with your guides and receiving their love receiving their guidance.

And the practice of meditation will also increase your ability to remember dreams,

Or even have lucid dreams.

If you're someone who's telling me now,

I meditate every day and I don't dreams and I don't dream and I don't remember my dreams,

Then I would tell you practice setting intentions before you go to bed before you fall asleep.

Just tell yourself tonight I will dream and I will remember my dreams upon awakening.

And try that every night and set the intention to if you want to connect with your spirit guides,

You can say tonight I will dream and I will connect with my spirit guides but really remain open.

Setting intention doesn't involve adding too many details.

It's basically just opening your heart.

So we have meditation writing dreams and number four we have Oracle or tarot cards.

It can be a very nice addition to your kit and a great way to connect with with their messages,

Usually regarding how you feel at one particular moment or a particular day.

So I personally don't use them regularly,

But I know a lot of healers,

Coaches and especially psychics,

They use them.

And then we have signs coincidences and synchronicities as I've mentioned before.

This is like I guess that's the nicest or funniest,

Mysterious ways that they communicate with us.

But I think that also is related to the meditation and having a constant consistent and constant spiritual practice,

Because that helps you remain open to their guidance and you will start noticing more of these.

So it's not necessarily that there were not there before they've always been there.

But you may not have been open to see them.

But now that you're opening your channels opening your heart practicing meditation,

And your senses are more alive,

You will see how they communicate with you in mysterious and sometimes very funny ways.

And the last one sounds very simple.

But that's what it is.

And that's the most important one is believe.

Whatever you do,

Whatever you write,

Whatever you read,

Will only hold true value if you believe in them.

And believe that they are always guiding you and trying to communicate with you even if you can't see it,

Even if you can't rationalize it.

Believe is really the most important thing out of all of them.

And once you start believing,

Magic will happen.

Right?

Even like when you're having doubts and questioning,

Is this my voice,

The voice of my ego,

Or am I actually hearing the voices of my guides?

I've been through the same a few years ago,

About eight years ago,

You know,

When I started when I committed to the daily practice of meditation.

And I remember very clearly one day,

I just kept hearing the message,

Believe,

Believe,

Believe,

I would write down on my journal and I would write believe and then actually had a dream where my dad showed up and he said believe.

And then I was just like,

Well,

This is such a simple,

Simple message that is kind of annoying.

But it really is.

And for me,

From my personal experience,

Usually their messages are so simple.

And we have to believe the simplicity in the messages because it's not that complicated.

Really,

I think that we human beings,

We tend to complicate things.

And we have to believe the simplicity of the messages.

And believe,

Trust your gut,

Trust your feelings.

And yes,

Believe,

Believe,

Believe.

So just a quick recap,

Recap.

We have number one meditation,

Number two writing,

Number three dreams,

Number four oracle and tarot cards,

Number five signs,

Coincidences,

Coincidences and synchronicities.

And six,

Believe.

I'm having chairs believe in my head right now.

And that's it for me today.

I hope that this was clear.

If you have any questions or any comments,

Please get in touch with me and thank you so,

So much.

And as always,

Keep shining your light,

Keep your heart open and let love lead the way.

I love you.

See you in the next episode.
