The Divine Connections Method
Introduction: Start Here
Lesson 1: The Basics of Spiritual Communication
Seriously, don’t skip this part…just click on the little plus signs 🙂
What is a Spirit Guide?
A Spirit Guide can be any physically unseen energetic being. It can be an Angel, Archangel, Ascended Master, an anscestor or deceased loved one, it can also be your higher self, the collective unconscious…it’s your intuition, your Spirit. Because everything is connected (by virtue of Universal Law, The Law of Divine Oneness), it’s you…but it’s not you at the same time.
When I was young, before I even knew what a Spirit Guide was, I always had something that kept me from the brink of disaster. I would be going off on my merry way, creating chaos wherever I could…but something would stop me at some point. It seemed as though there was some unseen force that would keep me from ruin. I know now that it was Spirit, and specifically my Guardian Angel that kept me from harm. Somehow I just knew when things were really…really wrong and I managed to avoid catastrophe.
You may have experienced the same thing in your lifetime…somehow you just knew; you turned left instead of right and that one small decision made all the difference.
How Do Spirit Guides Communicate?
That feeling of needing to go left instead of right is the first way. Spirit can also communicate symbolically. Sometimes you’ll get a picture in your head, or have a memory of something that happened, you may see a repeating pattern. Feathers, birds, animals are all methods of Spirit communication, Or maybe even a song will come on the radio that brings back a pleasant memory or has lyrics that are exactly what you need to hear at the moment you need to hear it.
Spirit will find any way to communicate with you that is in a language that you understand. As you become more adept at interpreting messages, you may still receive symbols or pictures. Often you’ll want to say “look just TELL me” but for some reason, it just doesn’t happen that way. The best we can figure out is that you receive a deeper lesson if you have to figure something out rather than being given the answer. It’s like the old saying of “give a man a fish…”.
When you use the Divine Connections Meditation and Workbook, you are instructed to ask for different sensory clues, like feeling, hearing, touch, texture, smell, symbols. This method of exploration will give you clues as to how you receive information from spirit. The more you practice, the more proficient you’ll become at interpreting Spirit communication.
What is a Soul Family?
Have you ever met someone with whom you felt an instant connection? It’s like you’ve known them forever! Things just click and you seem to have so much in common with them, you just can’t believe it. It’s almost like you were meant to connect.
Chances are, you were; chances are they are part of your soul family. We believe that souls travel together and connect again and again over many lifetimes for a variety of reasons.
As our Divine Connections group has evolved, we’ve learned that we have an incredibly deep and vast connection. As we’ve meditated with each other and shared our stories together, our bond has become quite profound. Some members hardly ever make our meetings and yet, that connection is there and felt, whether they are online with us or not!
We’ve also found that some people come to us for a specific reason to teach us a specific lesson. We’ll feel the connection to them immediately, and welcome them. Soon however, we discover that for one reason or another, they just aren’t a fit…yet that very act of discovery has taught us a valuable lesson.
Iyanla VanZant said “People come into your life for a season, a reason or a lifetime”.
Those who come into your life and create chaos and disorder come to teach you some kind of lesson. Once the lesson is learned, they leave. I call such people “catalytic souls”. Their purpose is to teach you and create change in your life.
How do I know it's not just me?
It IS you. As I stated at the beginning, according to the Law of Divine Oneness, we are connected to EVERYTHING. So, yes, you may think it’s just you…but it’s a higher expression of you. With practice, you will learn to differentiate between your normal everyday, human thinking and your guides.
One way to know is that your Spirit Guides are unconditionally supportive and loving, they will not call you names, or make you feel bad about yourself; that’s part of you and indicates a potential need for some Shadow Work.
While you may, on occasion, attract an unkind Spirit or guide, you are always in control and you can banish them.
Whenever doing this kind of work, always remember to ask for Archangel Michael’s protection.
It is usually enough to say “I ask for Archangel Michael’s protection and welcome only benevolent Spirits into my consciousness”.
(However, if you want to add EXTRA protection, use the prayer to St. Michael )
As you practice more and more, you’ll begin to learn the difference. It’s hard to describe…but soon you’ll learn that it just feels different. Like any muscle or new skill, it takes practice, practice, practice.
The more you practice, the more you’ll begin to discover your talents and particular skills. It’s an exciting adventure to be sure!
