[00:00:01] Speaker A: Welcome to Woowooville, the next stop on your spiritual journey, hosted by two fellow travelers who found a soul connection on the path to higher consciousness. Our goal is to help you navigate the choppy waters you're likely to encounter on your spiritual path by sharing our experiences with you each week. Join us as we spill the tea on what it's like to wake up to your authentic self. My name is Emeril, and I'm here with. [00:00:28] Speaker B: I'm Lola Singer, and we have a topic today that I think interests most people who are new to the spiritual journey, and that would be spirit guides. What are they? Who are they? How do I connect with them? And I already know what some of mine are. So some people are going to be listening to us and going, well, I know everything about them. Do you? I didn't know a whole lot about them. So I'm going to go back to why we started this podcast. Right. [00:01:00] Speaker A: Yep. [00:01:01] Speaker B: It was to help people new to the spiritual journey and to let them know some of the things we discovered that we. We wished we had figured out earlier. Right? [00:01:10] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:01:11] Speaker B: And for me, spirit guides, I almost feel like let's. Let's approach it as someone who's new to the spiritual journey and maybe talk about first what we don't remember about it. I'm sorry. Not what we didn't know about it. More than what we do know now. [00:01:26] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:01:27] Speaker B: Because I was totally misinformed about spirit guides. I don't know about you because I always thought. And I run. I deal with spirit guides all the time now, folks, I forgot to mention, I'm Lola Singer. I am a professional psychic and I draw spirit guides. I connect people to their spirit guides all the time now. But there was a time once where I knew nothing about them other than I just thought they were all ancestors. And I do run into other people when I'm drawing the spirit guides who think that too. So that's the first thing I wanted to bring up is what I didn't know about spirit guides at the beginning. How about you? [00:02:09] Speaker A: So I thought we had a set. Set guides, like, there were, like, a certain number that was set and then that didn't change. And they continue with us for the rest of our lives. [00:02:20] Speaker B: Yes. And we do. [00:02:21] Speaker A: Yeah, we do have some permanent guides. [00:02:23] Speaker B: But we also have temporary guides because as we're shifting and changing and, boy, are we changing a lot on the spiritual path. Right. On the road to Woo Woo ville, there are certain challenges that come up, and sometimes we put that bat signal SOS out There, Like, Like I could really use some help right now. And a temporary guide would be like, I'm the one with the skill sets to help this one. So you have to invite them in first. That's another thing that we don't know about. [00:02:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Because we have free will. So free will means that they cannot interfere unless we call them, we need to ask for their assistance or unless, of course, it's one of those situations where it's like an emergency situation. I think that's the only time that they can actually call. Come in. And I definitely have felt my spirit guides at times where I potentially could have lost my life. Come in. [00:03:17] Speaker B: Yeah. Emeril and I were at an event this last weekend where I was speaking about spirit guides. And I asked the people in the class if they'd had any angel interventions. And several of them had. And I agree. I think that's the only time when the guides are allowed to intervene without you asking for their. Without you giving permission to open the door to them. So they had some interesting stories about car accidents where there was an intervention. I've had two angel interventions myself. One was just simply crossing the street in downtown Seattle, busy city, waiting for the traffic light to change. The walk sign came on. Blink, blink. I stepped off the curve, but somebody was making a free right hand turn at the same time. Didn't realize that, you know, the light was about to change. And out of nowhere, I swear there was no one behind me. But all of a sudden, someone was grabbing the scruff of my neck clothes and drawing me back. And I swear, I don't even think I even saw the person afterwards either. So. Yeah, so that's. I guess. Okay, one of the things. Okay, so I guess to summarize, one of the things I didn't know was that there's more than just what we first hear about spirit guides, which would be obviously ancestors and angels. And then also what you just mentioned, that we have a whole team available, plus we have the guys on the bench waiting to be called in for the coach to call them in. Right? [00:04:58] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:05:00] Speaker B: So now that I've been drawing spirit guides for it's been about three years now, I have been exposed to such a wide variety of the type of guides, and we thought it'd be fun for you to hear about some of them. But also, what did you want to say about spirit guides based on your research? [00:05:20] Speaker A: So I did a research. I just typed it in spirit guides to just get a kind of a general description. So I think this will help us A lot to just make it so basic of description of what a spirit guide is. So it says Spirit guides are non physical beings that offer guidance, support and protection to individuals through their lives. They are believed to be part of one's soul family and have volunteered to assist on their life journey. Spirit guides can manifest in various ways including through dreams, intuition and synchronicities. So what are they? Spirit guides are entities that exist outside of the physical realm, often describe as souls or spirits who have chosen to guide and assist living individuals. Their purpose they are believed to be companions on one spiritual journey offering support, wisdom and protection, especially during challenging times. How do they communicate? Intuition A strong inner knowing of or feeling dreams Messages conveyed through symbolic or metaphorical dreams Synchronicities Meaningful coincidence like seeing a specific symbol or hearing a particular phrase at the right moment. Visualizations seeing images or figures during meditation or quiet contemplation or other subtle signs, flickering lights, unexpected sounds or other unusual occurrences. Who they can be Spirit guides can be deceased loved ones, helper angels or even animal guides, each offering unique forms of support. Connecting with them Many people find that practicing mindfulness meditation or engaging in activities that foster spiritual awareness can help them connect with their spirit guides. Why are why they are important Connecting with spirit guides can bring a sense of peace, guidance and a deeper understanding of one's life's purpose. [00:07:24] Speaker B: That was a lot. [00:07:25] Speaker A: It was. But I kind of like the simplicity of just how it's explained because I think that those of you starting out it's so interesting how when I was starting out I just. It's like we have this belief that everything is so structured because that's what 3D like mine is. It's like everything kind of has to have a place and has to have a fit. But as I've grown on my spiritual journey, I've realized that spirit guides can come in so many forms and even when I travel to their spirit guides that just come up and like. So for example, one of the really interesting ones that always come up to me especially when I go to sacred places, it's the protectors of the sacred places. They always because of what they do, their whole thing is about protecting those sacred places from people like or things that are not welcome there. Because I've had a lot of elemental lifetimes and usually they tend to be elementals, the forest protectors. So I always get a welcoming. I've never have not been welcomed. But it's just really interesting the different experiences I had with them. [00:08:42] Speaker B: Well that's a good segue way into some of the other kind of guides that are accessible to people. And so one of them would be nature spirits. And those are beings associated with natural. With the natural world like you're talking about. So there's forest spirits, you know, there's like wood sprites and tree spirits. There would also be associated with rivers, mountains, I presume, desert, all kinds of environments, you know, so you can connect with the nature spirits by acknowledging they're there. You don't have to see them. You can sense them sometimes by feeling them. [00:09:28] Speaker A: Yep. [00:09:28] Speaker B: And just thanking them for the beautiful environment you're in and they're going to appreciate that. Another thing I've learned about nature spirits is they, they love joyful things, so particularly music. So I think they're attracted when people are singing or whistling or. [00:09:45] Speaker A: Yep. [00:09:46] Speaker B: At least that's been my understanding. [00:09:48] Speaker A: And I think that. So our mind, like our regular mind, usually when we're somewhere, it kind of blocks us from really being able to connect or to, for example, open ourselves up to experience them. So I think when we practice mindful techniques such as like meditation or just relaxation, that's when they can really come up front because it's almost like an open sign for them to come in. [00:10:17] Speaker B: I think also just, you know, having a, just a good open heart period. And I think that's why so many people spot these nature being when they're taking hikes because they're in that heart space and they're enjoying the environment. That nature spirits realize that they're safe. It's kind of like you call them in with that, you know, energy of. Wow. I love where I'm at right now. So we're going to talk. You know, there'd be fairies. What gnomes? Water spirits too, like undines. And all those things that we were told were imaginary fairy tales. Yeah. Well, what if they do exist? And I know there's going to. Oh, Sasquatch. Well, we should. We've definitely got our Sasquatch friends who are experts on that. So I didn't, I didn't really think much about that. When I was first thinking about spirit guides when I was starting my journey, I pretty much thought they were going to be like humans. And then on top of that, you've got the elementals, which would be the fire spirit, which is the salamanders. The water spirits are the undines. The air spirits are the sylphs, and the earth spirits are the gnomes. So those are the four elements of earth, which of course you're going to be working with when you do something like call the four corners in when you're doing a ceremony, like we do with my drumming circle. And you work with these elementals all the time, but you don't realize it because you're made of these elements. So they are part of you. One of the theories that people have, and I tend to believe it's true, is that with all spirit guides, because we are a mirror of source, we're a reflection of everything. So they're just versions of you. So I would like people to embrace that because when we start to think that they're better than we are, they're just a different dimensional than we are. But when they start to kind of worship the spirit guides, I don't think that's what the spirit guides even want. No, they just want to assist us in our particular journey in life by giving us suggestions. Now, that's another thing I wanted to bring up too, because a spirit guide will never downright tell you what to do. Yeah, that would be some entity messing with you if it says you must do this. They always suggest things. Are they now? Yes. Some spirit guides in my. I've drawn a lot now, some of them are a little bit stronger in their suggestions than others, but they would never force because like you said, free will. Free will. So they're trying to work within the parameters of free will to assist us on our personal journeys. [00:13:17] Speaker A: Minds. It's so funny because instead of saying, don't do that, what they'll say is, are you sure you want to do that? [00:13:26] Speaker B: That very much sounds like a spirit guide. The other thing I've discovered drawing guides is they have personalities. When we're. You know, there are animal spirit guides. So just think about the different type of animal personalities there. Right. Same thing with the. The ones in human form, I guess. They're not in human form, but that we perceive as humans. They have personalities, too. So I've had some that are just. They've got me laughing so hard and others that are so serious. I got a special message now, don't you mess with me. So they're very funny. They're very. And I enjoy. That's part of what I love about drawing with spirit guides is. And I'm just. I don't normally swear, but this is a legitimate word. I love the crapshoot. I love the crapshoot of I don't know who or what's going to show up. I always ask for the guide most helpful, this moment in time for people. And that usually a very, very good match. Okay. So let's go back to the most common spirit guides. So one of the first ones that pops up on list is the ancestors. And we mentioned them before, so that makes sense, though, because we're connected seven generations backward and forward. Ancestry rise. Right. So our ancestors are concerned and interested in what developed within their family. So I know a lot of people, they'll. They have traditions where they, for example, leave food out for their ancestors at the table to honor them. [00:15:01] Speaker A: Yep. [00:15:02] Speaker B: Some of them on a daily basis. [00:15:04] Speaker A: Yeah. For us is the day of the dead is when they. And it's interesting because the deeper, deeper, like, they go on, like, one day, it's for, like, the kid. Kids that have passed, and then the day of the real day, it's like more of the adults. And it's interesting that you have a different day for them. [00:15:27] Speaker B: Well, that's good, because then the kids don't get overlooked. Kids often get overlooked. [00:15:31] Speaker A: That is true. Also, another thing, too, that I found is that it's interesting because, like, it's. It's a good point that you brought up, Lola, about. Some people that, like, see them as, like, oh, they have to, like, worship them or some kind of, like, they stand higher than you. They really. Every spirit guide I've ever approached, they never do that. In fact, they're more about, we're here to help you. We're here to guide you through things. And when it comes to ancestors, a lot of the times to my, like, my ancestors that I connected with is like, yeah, we kind of didn't get a chance to see the big picture, but now we're able to help because we can see the big picture and we're able to. When I first learned about something that's really funny in I want to clear out is that anytime we can't see something, we automatically assume they're going to be judging us or they're going to be, like, looking down on us, when really they're not about that. They're about the guidance. And it's, like, so weird because some people ask the weirdest questions, like, well, if they're always around, what about when I go to the bathroom? It's like they went to the bathroom, too, once upon a time. [00:16:51] Speaker B: Well, speaking of the bathroom, this is one thing I wanted to talk about, too, is that I usually connect with my guides when I'm most relaxed. And I know other people have the same situation where oftentimes it is when you're using the bathroom because, you know, your mind is kind of open and you're Just doing your thing and then driving is another one. I know that's you and I know other people get, get downloads from their guides when they're driving. So take note of that when you, if you fuck in the shower all the time in the shower. So take note if you feel like there's a presence, like a, you know, or you're hearing something in your, or there's a vision in your mind's eye. It's a little fuzzy when you're showering or you're driving or doing something else in the bathroom. Yeah, they're, they're trying to get your attention at a time when you're less distracted. [00:17:46] Speaker A: I also find it right as you wake up in the morning, there's that time when you're like about to get up but still laying down and not quite asleep, but yet not fully awake yet. That is the perfect time when they usually come in and they come in in the form of thoughts. [00:18:00] Speaker B: Well, this is why they come through in meditation as well. Right. So. So with the ancestors, I guess one good point to bring up, which I think you kind of alluded to, is that when they're on the other side, some of the things that seemed like shortcomings, if you knew them in the, in this lifetime, they've transcended. They, like you said, they see the bigger picture. So you can still trust a guide that's from your family who maybe made a lot of mistakes in, in your eyes, but they see it now so they can help. They're really trying to steer you away from the same family dramas that they, they probably created, to be honest. [00:18:47] Speaker A: And that's the other thing too that I don't want to miss because I feel like that's like, I always get that when like people are trying to understand about spirit guides and I'm trying to explain to someone for the first time, the first they think is that they think spirit guides are going to get wrapped up in low vibrational emotions and they don't. So like, for example, there's no way that your spirit guide is going to be like jealous, angry or like upset at you or about some incident that's not a spirit guide. That's like definitely. That's when you can tell that it's something else connecting with you rather than a spirit guide. [00:19:20] Speaker B: It's going to require discernment. And I don't really want to frighten people, you know, but yeah, sometimes, you know, if you're, if I was a low vibe entity, I would try masking myself as like, especially like ascended Master or something like that. You know, say, oh, I, I'm Jesus, you know, and then actually there was a really good book that I read when I first started the spiritual journey that helped me understand guides. And it's by Sandra Choquette and I can't remember the name about it, it's just all about spirit guides. And there's a story about that exact same thing where a couple was told she was helping, helping a couple who was in distress. She's a psychic. Because Jesus told them they were in danger, get in their van and go. And so they drove, they went off in their van and then Jesus came back to them and said, oh no, you're still in danger now you have to go to this place. And it was an entity that was moving them all around the country because it was creating fear. And so she explained to them what was happening and pretty much what we talked about earlier, a guide, a true spirit guide would never order you around like that. So FYI, yes, there will be, I call them interlopers. There will be interlopers on the astral plane trying to claim they're your spirit guides. So guess what? I have a little mantra for you. So it's called the protective mantra for safe connection with spirit guides. And if you're interested in this, I'm going to say it out loud. You can listen to this again if you want to write it down. But it's I call upon my highest and most loving guides and I ask for protection and clarity as I open my heart to their wisdom. I am surrounded by divine light and shielded from any lower energies. Only those who serve my highest good may communicate with me. I trust in my inner guidance. I am safe in this connection. I would go ahead and say that especially for people who are new, just to get the boundaries out there. This is not fear based, but it's merely for you to be aware that yes, there are interlopers and that's one way you can circumvent them. So to call in your regular team, you can say, I open my heart and mind to the guidance of my spirit guides. I trust their wisdom, I welcome their presence, and I am ready to receive their messages with love and clarity. So you could call in a specific guide or you could just do general like that. Okay, so let's go back to talking about the different kinds of guides and. [00:22:16] Speaker A: Just before we get off that slide. [00:22:17] Speaker B: Let'S not do that. [00:22:18] Speaker A: Then I just want to mention something and really it's about you setting yourself up for success. And obviously if you are like really having really strong, low vibrational emotions, do not try to connect to your spirit guides. Because I mean, obviously if you're low vibrational, you're going to track low vibrational things because you're radiating that energy. So make sure you're at peace, make sure you're calm, make sure you're open to that connection too. Because a lot of the times if we're, if we are off, meaning we have an emotion that's going through us that's a negative emotion. Of course that negative emotion isn't going to connect you with your spirit guides and that's when you leave yourself more open. [00:23:05] Speaker B: I don't agree. I'm sorry, I don't agree. I understand that you could connect. There's potential to that. But that's when you need your guides the most, is when you're feeling disconnected. [00:23:18] Speaker A: Yeah. But you open the door to connect with. I find it that I will ask for. Okay. I in more of a. I feel like I'm trapped here. I need some help or guidance and like you said. But what I'm talking about is like if you're just really, really mad or you have this like really low vibrational thing that can't lead to a good connection with the spirit guide, at least for my. [00:23:44] Speaker B: I don't agree. I think as long as you're heart centered and you're saying what is making me so angry? Guides help me understand this better. I think, I think you can call in your legitimate guides to help you. [00:23:57] Speaker A: I've never done it like that. When I feel the emotion, I'll start writing down and finding out what the emotion is. But I usually connect with my guides when I feel like I'm more cleared about having that connection. But that's just me. I mean, like you said, like you can. [00:24:13] Speaker B: I think if it's a sincere. [00:24:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:15] Speaker B: Request it's heard. [00:24:17] Speaker A: Oh yeah. I'm sure that it is. And I mean there's no need for your guides to ever abandon you. I think we're the ones that close ourselves up to listening more than anything. I just, All I'm saying is I. When I have felt my lowest with low vibrational, like that's not. When I think about connecting with my guides. I usually like try to sort it out by journaling first before I like clear my mind and ask for help. [00:24:39] Speaker B: I think that's good advice. [00:24:40] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:24:41] Speaker B: Do it first. But there's times, you know, where I've been sad or oh yeah, you know, or I've definitely not been myself. I know it emotionally where I've asked for help, so I guess it's just a matter of trust. [00:24:55] Speaker A: Yeah, that's true, too. And discernment, like you said. [00:24:57] Speaker B: And discernment. Yeah. And like we said, most. Most of the time, your. Your team's going to hear you. It's just if you're. Yeah, I think most of it, I didn't want to go down this rabbit hole because I don't want people to be afraid. But it's good to use your discernment because if something starts telling you you must do this, then I would question, you know, all you have to do is go. This doesn't sound right to me. I'm stopping this right now. Maybe another time. That's what I've done. [00:25:29] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:25:29] Speaker B: When something doesn't feel quite like it lining up. So let's talk about the guides that do line up with you. [00:25:35] Speaker A: Yes. [00:25:35] Speaker B: Okay. So ancestors, interestingly enough, when I've done spirit guide drawings, actually, the ancestors that come through are pretty fun ones. Usually they're very gentle, and some of them have great senses of humor. And the one that I think was most interesting was a woman who came through, and she was in a very simple dress. It just kind of basically looked like a sack with a belt. And I asked who she was, and she said, I am the matriarch of the family, meaning as far back as you can go to find the mother in this family. I'm getting truth bumps when I say it. And I asked, well, how old are you? What era did you live in? And she said, 4 B.C. [00:26:24] Speaker A: Wow. [00:26:26] Speaker B: And I kept hearing something, and I. So I asked the person I was doing the drawing for, and I found out, yes, she's from this region. And I kept hearing, and Andalusia. So Spain. In Spain. And it was the right region. So this is. This is this far back. So she. I am the matriarch. But she showed herself young, like in her 20s, you know, like early mom age. Right. So, yeah, you could have a guide from your ancestry that goes way, way, way, way, way, way back. You know that you're not aware of them, but they're aware of you. Right. And they want to help their lineage. [00:27:08] Speaker A: Yep. [00:27:09] Speaker B: Okay. And then there's what we talked about earlier, animal guides. So I think most of us can relate to certain animals. It's kind of like you see them a lot or you have such a strong affinity for them, you feel like that they are your spirit animal guide. That may be true, but you can call upon animals and the qualities they represent. Anytime. So you're not limited to the ones, once again, that you think are part of your team. You can go ahead. Like, for example, let's say you want to see things from a higher perspective. Well, that could be an eagle, right. But it also could be a giraffe. So do you want to go with the eagle that's more active and flying, or do you want to go with the giraffe who's a little more softer and feminine? So it's like, I want to see things from a higher perspective, and I want to see it through kind of a. If the goal is to see it through a more nurturing viewpoint, I would probably call in the giraffe. Does it make sense? So you can actually go ahead and do that. And that's what another mantra is. You can say, I open my heart to the guidance of the giraffe, trusting the wisdom she offers. So I would encourage people. I think we think we're so limited. Once again, it's like, well, I see hawks all the time. So obviously, my. My spirit animals, the hawk, great. But you can ask for any animal to come through. Any. So what I would recommend is look. Look up the totem animals. You. They. There's tons of websites online. It's like, oh, yeah, if I call in this kind of animal right now, it could help me with this situation. Once again, they're waiting for you to do that. Just like the ones that look like they're humans. It's funny, when I do spirit guide drawings, I tell people, you know, we talked about how the guides need to be invited in, like we said, including the animals. I see like a bouncer at a nightclub, and he's got the velvet rope. And normally, you know, they're letting only certain number of people in, but in this case, all these guides are lined up waiting for you to call. So he'll let one through after you call. So that goes back to the. The. The animals we just talked about the tip and also temporary guides. Because you could call out and say, I really need a guide to help me understand the instructions on this IKEA furniture. And there'll be one in there. And now the guy with the velvet rope can let that one out. [00:29:43] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:29:44] Speaker B: You know, so there's guides for every purpose. That's another thing I didn't understand every purpose. So you don't have to know the name of the guide. You don't need to know what the guide looks like. You just need to know the function of the guide. So I learned that from Derek at Mystical Wearers. Because one time he said to me, because I was. I was not doing very well with business, and I was going, I haven't had any clients for a while. And he goes, well, have you called in your secretary guide? I have a secretary guide. Of course I do. It never occurred to me. So I called in the secretary guide, and I did do better with my. With my business. So I guess the point being, for every single function, there is a guide. Go ahead and call them in. Same with animal or person. Okay, so the other one that I think almost everybody understands is angels. And we talked about that earlier, how angels are watching over us and protecting us in times of peril. But otherwise they have. My understanding is they have super strict rules. So unless it's absolutely necessary to intervene, they don't. You have to ask them to come through. So a lot of people work with angels, and I don't know if you know how many angels there are. Oh, my goodness. [00:31:09] Speaker A: There is a lot. [00:31:10] Speaker B: I mean, I think they say 78 main ones, but there's more than that. [00:31:14] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:31:15] Speaker B: So there's an angel of this and an angel of that. I think you know more about some of the angels than I do. [00:31:20] Speaker A: I've heard a lot of different angels, and I called upon different angels and stuff. But what's really funny is when you were talking about that, it reminded me of like, a little thing that Sammy told me. Sammy's our mutual friend, our Reiki, the one that taught us Reiki. And she said that about the unemployed angels. Because they call them unemployed angels is because they meet you to call them in order for them to assist. [00:31:44] Speaker B: They're waiting behind the door, and they're. [00:31:45] Speaker A: Waiting behind in order to be called. And you don't call them, they're not going to show up. So that's why they're called unemployed angels. [00:31:54] Speaker B: So you might want to do a search, like angel, the angel associated with joy. Like, there is one, right? And there's, you know, the angel associated with processing grief or whatever, or abundance. [00:32:04] Speaker A: And then what's really funny that I didn't even know and I just found out too, is like, so, like, let's say you're putting angels of abundance. Well, there's an angel in abundance that likes to keep abundance, and there's one to attract abundance. So it's so weird. Or to find abundance. And I'm like, whoa, there's just so many different categories. [00:32:24] Speaker B: Yeah, but for abundance, you're not restricted to angels either. So true. It's so. I guess it's just Whatever ever appeals to you or whatever, however or your frequency is that would attract. Because one of the best drawings I ever did for somebody was there was their guide of abundance, and it was the last thing I would have even imagined on my own. But it was a prospector from the Yukon who had found gold, and so he showed up with it. I drew him and he had his little pickaxe and he has a little bag of money. I went, oh, my God, that's just brilliant. I want to be part of her spiritual team because what a great guide of abundance. Some guy who was rich and wants to spread the love. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool. I mean, you know, Buddha could be abundance. I know he could be poverty too. But really he's about abundance, the joy of life, you know, so you're not limited and, you know, you're not limited to your own culture. And that's the difference, I guess, between, like some of these other guides in your ancestors. It could be. I have guides from people's that are very different from the culture of the person I'm drawing for. [00:33:40] Speaker A: Oh, wow. [00:33:41] Speaker B: All the time. All the time. They're the ones who want to come in and help. So they. They've got the skill set. So they do. So you could sit down in front of me and, you know, like, you being Mexican, I could draw, you know, a Viking for you, or I. I could draw an Egyptian for you and just never know. You just never know who's going to come through. So it's kind of fun, though, because when people start to develop their Claire's and they get a sense of what guide is around them, especially if they get a little snippet of a vision, it could be a big surprise. It could be someone looking very ancient. It could be someone looking modern. It could be someone who wants to look old and wise. It could be one that wants to look young and healthy. One of my favorite guides right now is a native American man who wears white buckskins with the fringe, and he always shows old and wise, and I like him. Okay, so we talked about another one, which is ascended masters. So these would be like. We talked about Jesus Kuan Yin. Oh, man, there's so many of them. I can't. But my brain is going numb right now. What are some other ascended masters? [00:34:58] Speaker A: Buddha. There's so many. [00:35:03] Speaker B: There would be. These would be the really big teachers of life who were once incarnated. So they know what the pitfalls of living on Earth are like. [00:35:21] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:35:21] Speaker B: And what they've done is they've become so good at balancing themselves that they've transcended the duality and they're able to now guide us on our journey where we're really struggling with things like duality. So they're not judgmental at all? [00:35:41] Speaker A: No. [00:35:42] Speaker B: Lots of teachers. Lots of teachers. I draw a lot of Tibetan monks. They come through as teachers a lot. And then the other kind of teacher that shows up a lot, who I assume would be an ascended master, but maybe ones we can't name would be ones who look like Renaissance scholars, you know, like Renaissance men. I get those a lot too. But you can look at a list of ascended masters and just like what we talked about with the animal guides, you could call a specific one in based on what you feel attracted to and start working with that guide. And you know, and like we talked about on your original list, there were things like synchronicities, you know, if you feel that, feel like that, guides around you might see 444 or 111 or 333, things like that. So I was just kind of thinking about some of the guides. Oh yeah, the other, the other guides that I see a lot in the drawings are protective. [00:36:46] Speaker A: Oh, yeah. [00:36:47] Speaker B: They'll be military guides. And so it's usually like big burly men, but they usually. It's kind of funny because I can feel how sweet they are underneath. So they're trying to look really tough, but I can feel their energy. And it's like, okay, you're, you're just a big softy at heart. So a lot of the guides that might say scare off, like we talked about, some of the entities that shouldn't be hanging around you, it's going to scare the bejesus out of them. Because when you, when you're working with astral beings, you don't talk in language. It's all about image. So they're going to these guides, these big powerful. And I'm including women. I've had some really powerful military women come through as guides too. They just have that demeanor like, do not mess with my person. Do not mess with my person. There will be consequences. But yet with you, they're going to be like really sweet and lovey dovey. The other ones, I get a lot who are protectors because I think they're so big are. I get a lot of Polynesian men. So a lot of they look Samoan or they look Maori, you know, especially the Maoris because they have the tattoos all over their faces and they come through as guides and they're just actually so Pleasant and so hard. Their heart spaces are wonderful. So. Yeah. So I see scholars a lot. I see the military protect and the protectors a lot. And then. Oh, well, we forgot like Mother Mary types, you know, the nurturing mothers. So those, those would be like the ascended masters we get. I see those a lot. [00:38:33] Speaker A: And Mary Magdalene. [00:38:35] Speaker B: Oh, well, Mary Magdalene. There's. She's actually very powerful. [00:38:39] Speaker A: Oh, yes. Extremely powerful. [00:38:41] Speaker B: Very powerful guide. Yeah. So, yes. So you. You can call them in. You can even call in the ones that are even. How do I say it? Associated with a little bit of the darker side. So, I mean, if you want some extra, extra protection, you could call in Kali, Hecate. Yeah. Yep, exactly. I would recommend that you think that through first. [00:39:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:39:18] Speaker B: Make sure that's really who you want to call in. Or Sekhmet. Oh, my gosh. That could cause a lot of. That could cause a lot of mayhem. I'm just trying to think of some of the other guides that I've encountered. The funniest ones I've actually had a couple times where gestures come through and the hayoke. So you can tell. So sometimes our guides, the best guides and the best teachers and the best helpers, trick us. [00:39:55] Speaker A: Yes. Because they want you. What I find are these. The tricksters are more about really want to help you, but they also want you to learn the lesson. So they become tricky from the get go. So then you can figure out what really is happening. So that while you take care of the situation, you're also learning the lesson. So you're not. You don't get to loop around it and experience it again. In those of us like, I'm very connected to, I'm pretty much the qualification of the empath that I am is a Hayoka empath. So we do a lot. We use a lot of our coping mechanism and transmuting mechanism is comedy or laughing off things that, like, people think they're too serious and we just can't because we put too much seriousness, like it blocks us. So we need that little bit of comedy aspect. Even though some people may be like, this is not the time, place, whatever, but hey, you know, you can't really change it. [00:40:57] Speaker B: Yeah. So I've done like, like I said, I've done jesters, I've. But they also. The ones that can be tricky are often the monks. [00:41:10] Speaker A: Yes. [00:41:11] Speaker B: So. Oh, you know who's also tricky? The Native Americans, because they don't waste words. So they make you work for the messages. [00:41:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:41:25] Speaker B: At least that's been my experience. One of the types of guides, I forgot to mention that I think is important, and I think you're gonna agree with me, too. The star beings. Yes. Speaking of Native Americans, because Native Americans are very attached to the star people. So a lot of people feel like they have a connection to certain star systems. Could be Pleiades, Orion, Sirius, Vega. If you feel like you're a starseed, you know some of these Lyran, you know some of these terms, and you feel them deep in your heart. Just by looking at the star system or even hearing the words, you kind of have a tug. So you kind of can guess which star beings are guiding you. [00:42:14] Speaker A: There's also collectives as far as star beings go. [00:42:17] Speaker B: Yes. And it's interesting because it's the same thing again, we talked about with humans. You could be. You know how you have soul family, but also you have the temporary guides that can help you. You have star family for sure, but then you also have ones at star beings who are helping you outside of your star family system, too. [00:42:35] Speaker A: I just remember something that I was going to mention before, and I totally spaced that, and I'm like. It came back to me. I'm like, oh, good, now I can actually share it. So on your temporary guides, you can also choose to switch your guides into the guides that are most helpful at the time. So, for example, let's say you're doing. You have a certain specific thing that you're working with, and you can ask if you're. If you can bring in the guides that will be more suitable to help with that. And kind of like on your temporary guide, switch them because you've. [00:43:06] Speaker B: Because as you grow, you could use a new set of guides. [00:43:10] Speaker A: Exactly. Especially when you start feeling stagnant. [00:43:12] Speaker B: I think the guides kind of know when to step out. But you can say you feel like you're done, too. You have that free will, which is what you're buying. [00:43:22] Speaker A: It's the same thing as, like, when you're done with certain things, like, you can also with work with your soul contracts of. Okay, I've already experienced that. So I want to make sure that. Because I've already learned certain lessons, like, I don't get those repeated. So you get rid of the old contracts that have you go to those lessons. But that's really interesting to me because when I started doing it, because I'm beginning to tap into visual gifts, I actually see them walk out and I see the new ones come in. I don't see them fully what they look like, but I feel them like I feel their Energy. And that's really cool. And because so Lola, when she draws in spirit guides, what's fascinating to me is Lola's not really a seer, but she's a feeler. But then what's really interesting is the feeling turns into visuals when she starts drawing it because she's like, I feel like the nose and I feel like it's this shape. I feel the eyes and it's this shape. [00:44:19] Speaker B: And. [00:44:20] Speaker A: And when she starts drawing, I was like, pretty sure this is a seer thing, but I know she's feeling it. But as she's translating into paper, it becomes visual, if that makes sense. [00:44:34] Speaker B: Sometimes people have to see it to understand the process. If anybody wants to see any of my spirit guides, you can go to lolasinger.com there's some examples on a page with the gallery. Okay. Oh, I had a thought while you were talking and it got derailed. It was about the temporary guides. Oh, I know what it was. This I thought was brilliant and I know she listens, so I'm going to credit her with her own brilliance. Okay, so I drew a leprechaun for our mutual friend Lyra Kelly. Some people know her as Kelly Martin. And this leprechaun, I always ask if it's a permanent guide or temporary guide. He said he was temporary guide and obviously to help her with abundance. Right. And he was tricky, you know, like leprechauns are. And so she worked with him for a while and then this is where she was brilliant. She negotiated. She knew he was a temporary guide and she says, well, can't you be a permanent guide for me? And he said, sure, why not? So now she has a full time leprechaun guide. She asked if she, if he could, and he said yes to her. [00:45:52] Speaker A: That's so funny. [00:45:53] Speaker B: So it's the same thing as letting them go. I guess you can see, hey, I really like you. Can you stick around? [00:45:59] Speaker A: Yeah. Hey, as long as they're growing with you, why not? [00:46:03] Speaker B: Yes, yes. So we were talking about the star beings as well. I would recommend if you feel a connection to a certain area, to go ahead and start calling those guides in. Especially for those people. I run into so many people who have a connection to Sirius who are walking around on this planet. And you know, you can usually tell because they're very connected to sound frequency. Whales and dolphins and water. So if you like any four out of those five or all of them, you are probably Sirian. So go ahead and start feeling. And blue, blue, blue, blue, blue is the frequency Of Sirius. [00:46:51] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:46:52] Speaker B: So if any of that resonates with you, go ahead and start working with that. [00:46:57] Speaker A: And also, like, just we are all so intermixed, so we've been so many things too, because we have different lifetimes in different planets. So, yes, you could be very well, very connected to the Syrians as well as have others. So don't think of yourself as just like you have to belong in a certain group because. [00:47:14] Speaker B: No, well, and, and physically our DNA is made up of so many different exact planetary star system races. It's not just any one thing. I'm just kind of going with what I see most often. So for the new people, if you tend to like frequency sound, dolphins, whales and water, I would investigate whether you might be a Syrian star seed. [00:47:37] Speaker A: And is the, Is the lion's game connected to Syria? Yeah, I thought so. [00:47:42] Speaker B: Yes. [00:47:43] Speaker A: So we have an upcoming. Well, I mean, who know. Well, well, when this airs, hopefully it probably is going to air afterwards, but there's a certain portal that's going called Lionsgate. It opens on the 26th of August all the way to the 12th. No, sorry, the 26th of July, the 12th of August. And during that time we have just more connection to Syrian energy. And this portal aligns with us. And those of you that are really connected to Syrian energy, well, I mean, everyone can benefit from that portal. It's just about your intentions. It's very, it's. It's amazing energy to manifest, but it's also amazing energy in general to expand on whatever areas of your life you're trying to expand. So. [00:48:27] Speaker B: Well, speaking of expansion, one of the types of guides we haven't talked about yet, I think helps us expand emotionally, mentally and physically, which is the healing guides. [00:48:36] Speaker A: Yeah, I love the healers. [00:48:40] Speaker B: I. When I first started opening up to my gifts, it came through, through as light, language and sound. And as a result, I'm more, more oracular. So when I connect with my guides, I'll be in kind of a meditative state. And I'll say, I'll say so and so is here. So and so is here. So and so go through this list of guides. And that's how I know when my guides have changed, because I'll hear a different list as well. But I have one guide who's obviously been with me through this whole 10, 11, 12 years. So he must, he must be one of my permanent ones. And his name is Paris and he is my. They call him my body guide. He's my physical healing guide. And I think that's Why? I do a lot of toning. I think he helps me with that and the body. But I know him. I know his name, I know his function. So if I hear myself in meditation calling out to Paris, I know I need my body work done. So I know there are. I. Through my personal experience, I know those are. There are those kind of guides. What's your. What's your experience with the healing guides? [00:49:46] Speaker A: I just feel them, and they have a different kind of energy, and it's very soothing. And automatically I feel them in a physical form and my body starts feeling better, like, whenever I tune into them. And I do a lot of. Because of being a master Reiki practitioner, too. As we start evolving, we realize that we can send energy to ourselves too. But then what I do is I tap into whatever guide can help me with healing, and that's how I can tell their energy. And, like, for me, I'm all about, like, very big on feeling the energy. So when I'm sending energy as well as I'm getting help from those guides to help me with energy, it feels really, really different than just an average. Not that any guides are average, but I'm saying from other types of guides, I almost use that word, average, and there's no such thing as average, especially on the spiritual. [00:50:42] Speaker B: Yeah, no, that doesn't exist. But there can be guides who also help with emotions. Yes, there's. You know, when I first started, I forgot about this. When I first started, I would feel a little tap, tap, tap under my eye, and I knew there was. And I felt like it was an angel. So I was getting this little, tiny, delicate tap. So I wonder if any of the people in the audience, because I would think that would be a healer guide, too. And I think he or she was helping me emotionally to stay calm through all this new stuff as I was meditating and doing light language, stuff like that. I'd almost forgotten about that. Wow. So many kind of gods. [00:51:30] Speaker A: There is different kinds of guides. So the protective ones are very interesting, too, to me, because they have such a presence. It's very, like, solid. [00:51:42] Speaker B: Very. [00:51:42] Speaker A: Like you feel good. You don't feel like you need help because you know that they're very protecting. [00:51:48] Speaker B: And if you don't know what your. Who your protector guide is, I think most people call in Michael, don't they? [00:51:53] Speaker A: Yeah. So I have two main protecting guides that I. Those are some of, like, two of my permanent guides is Archangel Michael, and then the other ones, Quetzalcoatl, which he is really, like, he's Mayan descent. But, man, he comes in so often. And I think he comes in because I connect with his energy a lot. I use a. An armor where I asked for his help every single day. So probably that's why I keep him so active. And then I also realized that he had many sons, and it so happened that I connected with one of the lifetimes as one of his sons. So I have a very good connection with him, and I have a lot of friends that is their main guy, too, which is really amazing. [00:52:39] Speaker B: Okay, hold on. Let's go backwards. An angel with a son. [00:52:45] Speaker A: No, no, no, no, no. I didn't say an angel. I said Quetzalcoatl. Oh, he had many sons. [00:52:50] Speaker B: Okay. Okay. [00:52:51] Speaker A: Yeah. Through life, I was going. [00:52:52] Speaker B: I haven't. [00:52:53] Speaker A: No. [00:52:53] Speaker B: No new one for me. [00:52:54] Speaker A: No, not any. [00:52:59] Speaker B: Okay, I get it now. [00:53:02] Speaker A: But it's just. It's interesting because I just find the. The more of the connection that I find that, like, I made him be my protector. Like, for example, I was getting as. As we start bringing in more light, there's some people around us that they don't do it on purpose, but they don't think the fondest of us because we're changing, so they. We get attacked a lot without. Like, in this. In a subconscious level. So I made him be my protector. [00:53:33] Speaker B: Yeah. A lot of people don't even know they're. They're doing that. [00:53:36] Speaker A: Yeah. Because they're. They're. They're. They're not doing it on purpose. [00:53:38] Speaker B: No, not usually. [00:53:40] Speaker A: Exactly. [00:53:41] Speaker B: Okay, so this had to be a very kind of Intro to Spirit Guide episode. I hope, you know you can relate to some of these. And I just want to go back to, like, well, great Lola, you connect with your guides, and great Amaral, you. Correct. How do I do it? Let's go back to what Amarl talked about. The beginning. My first thing I tell people is, first you have to believe it's even possible. [00:54:06] Speaker A: Yep. [00:54:07] Speaker B: Okay. Number one, if you don't believe it's possible, well, remember, those guides don't intervene. Right. Unless there's some dire need to. Like, your life's in danger. So they're just gonna stand behind that velvet rope if you don't believe it's possible? Right. [00:54:24] Speaker A: Yeah. [00:54:25] Speaker B: So those would be the people saying, well, I've never seen my guides. I don't know about my guide. Well, you didn't call them in because you didn't believe it was possible. So one way to call them in that works for both of us is meditation and visualization as well. So if it's a guide like an ascended master, you can look at that image and think about that image while you go into a state of meditation. You know, I'm going to focus on, you know, the beautiful energy of Mother Mary and bring in all that good, nurturing, healing energy or, you know, so you can use your imagination, which is your image nation, to help you on your meditation to connect. So if you don't know what they look like, that's fine. So you can tap into the feeling of that guide. What would it feel like to connect with my guide who gives me more courage? Things like that. Okay. And then one of your favorites, the journaling. [00:55:25] Speaker A: Yes. [00:55:26] Speaker B: Is recommended. So you could just start out something like, if I were to connect with my guides, it might feel like, you know, and just fill in the blanks. [00:55:36] Speaker A: You know, there's also a lot of guided meditations on YouTube that you can check out to connect with your guides too. [00:55:42] Speaker B: Yes. And that would be helpful with visualization and meditation. Yeah. So automatic writing is a great way to do it. I cannot do automatic writing because my automatic writing always turns into light language. Always. It turns into light language glyphs. But for people who can do automatic writing, I think it's a great tool. And one of the tips I learned is use your non dominant hand and just say, I would like to connect with my angels or I would like to connect with my guides who can help me with this and just see what your hand writes. Okay. Dream work is another one you talked about that I connect with guides in my dreams all the time when I remember my dreams. I mean, who else is going to be working with you in your dream time? It's going to be your guides. Oh, that's one of the things I tell people when I do their drawings. They go, how can I work with this drawing? Look at it before you go to bed. So I want to set the intention to connect with this guide in my dreams. And there you go. [00:56:45] Speaker A: There's another thing that you're forgetting with that works really well is setting the intention of want to connect with this guide in my dreams, but I want to remember it because a lot of the times you don't remember and it's all about asking. [00:56:59] Speaker B: Apparently I forgot that part of the clause. Oh, my goodness. We're almost done. Oh, this has been a quick episode. Okay. Intuitive tarot oracle cards. Yes. You can use those to connect with your guides, calling upon them, crystals, energy, tools, trusting your intuition. Those are all ways that you have available to work with your guides. So we just want to encourage you to start feeling like you can experiment and connect with the one who feel benevolent to you. Go ahead and use that mantra we did earlier to make sure that it's all only the guides you love and trust coming through. And you might be surprised, you know, especially like with the animal guides, you know, you might assume you're associated with, you know, a certain animal and then one shows up that you never imagined. You know, it could be a kangaroo or it could be a tiny little mouse or, you know, they all have great messages for you. Anything you want to say before we go? [00:58:04] Speaker A: All I want to say it's just thank you for listening in. And we want to do a shout out to our sponsor, Mystical Wares, and you can find their page@st mysticalwares.com they're also located in Mount Vernon, Washington. [00:58:18] Speaker B: Yep.
