What are my spirit guides* trying to tell me?

Question

*or any spirits around me? I was told my spirit guides name is Joshua,, do you agree?

and thanks in advance for all the witty answers explaining to me that these things do not exist.. I don't really care what skeptics think but I'm sure they'll want to let me know anyways hahaa

Answer 1

if you have spirit guides around you, what are they there for? What are they trying to relate to you? Why would anyone need a so called spirit guide? Is your spirit lost?

Answer 2

You do have more than one guide, and honestly, they don't care what we call them. lol I could call one Bob and he wouldn't care, but it's a way for me to differentiate between them. :) If you want to talk to them, just try it. Meditate, listen for subtle answers, be open for them, ask for them to come in contact in a dream, etc. They're always right next to us. Again, look for the subtle hints. Just a feeling that they are around, sometimes we get this breeze feeling on our arms or like someone is tugging on our hair a bit. :) That's them. If you have more questions, drop me a line. I talk to mine all the time. Sometimes they're really funny. lol Oh the stories I have to tell...haha

Answer 3

Your spirit guide has no reason to lie so if you heard 'Joshua' and that feels right to you, go with it! He must have wanted to have you know his name, OR your guide wants you to on the look out for a new person in your life named Josh.

Answer 4

What have they done that you think that they are trying to tell you something? I have not been too sucessful at gainng any assistance from my spirit guide. Ihave a friend who passed help quite a few times, but I have not had any specific contact with my spirit guide per  se.

Answer 5

They are trying to tell you not to be so gullible to fall hook, line and sinker for something as ridiculous as "spirit guides".

Answer 6

Lie's, lie's, and more lie's, King Saul from the bible went to a witch to bring back the spirit of Samuel who was God's prophet and advised Saul in all matters straight from God and what he should do but when Samuel died and Saul Left God He needed guidance about a war but a demon appeared instead of the prophet and lied to Saul saying "Go fight the war and God will give you victory" so Saul went and was killed. All that comes from the evil one are only lie's, lie's, and more lie's for he is the father of lie's and there is no truth in him, no matter how close to the truth he makes things sound.

Answer 7

joshua sounds right.  also keep in mind that there is also a female spirit guide around you as well.  emily.

Answer 8

Yes. Your Spirit guide could be Joshua but who told you so?

Listen to CHARLES:

First of all, an absolute beginner can meet his/her spirit guides. It was one of the very first things that I did. You already know them, you picked them before you were born and they agreed to help you this time around.

To start, I would suggest that you have a pencil and paper handy. Now find yourself a quiet place. Cleanse yourself and the room thoroughly. Get good and relaxed. Fill yourself and the room with a white light (this is a spiritual light, not a light from a light bulb or a candle). If you don't know how to do these things see the sections on Cleansing and Meditation, they can help you. Now call your spirit guides to you. It does not matter at this time that you do not consciously know them, they will be there for you. Now say, "Please touch me." You should feel some sort of sensation somewhere on your body. It could be chills, goose bumps, warmth or a tingling. Whatever it is it will simply be a sign to you that they are there. Having identified (for you) a way to tell their presence, you can go on to the next step, determining how many of them there are.

Ask, "Is there at least one of you?" You should feel the sensation. Everyone has at least one guide. Most people have between one and seven. Now ask, "Are there at least two of you?" If you feel the sensation, then you know that there are at least two of them. Continue this process until you no longer receive any sensation. In this manner you will determine how many guides that you have.

Next step. Say, "Number one, please touch me." Somewhere on your body, (your forehead, back of your neck, arm, back, shoulder, leg, somewhere) you should feel something. It may be chills, goose bumps, warmth, a tingling or whatever, but it will be a pleasant sensation. Remember this touch, in fact it is a good idea to write it down. It is the I.D. of that spirit guide, and he/she will always touch you in the same spot with the same feeling. Continue the process until you have the I.D.'s of all of your guides.

Next step. Ask, "Please tell me hello." If you can hear their thoughts in your head, you are one of the lucky ones. I wasn't, it took me years before I could reliably "hear" them. It was not their fault, but mine, I was cutting myself off. So if you don't hear them, all is not lost.

Assume that you don't hear them. You can still ask questions and get answers, it just takes a little more effort, as it has to be couched as "Yes/No" questions. Ask them, "Please give me a 'Yes' answer." Pay close attention to your body, there will be some movement at this point, the most common being a nodding of your head as though you were nodding a "yes" in answer to someone else's question. The actual motion may be very slight, almost imperceptible, but you will be able to feel it. When I was using this method, I could often judge how emphatic the answer was by how energetic the nodding was, I have had my entire body jerk. Now ask, "Please give me a 'No' answer." Again pay close attention to your body, there will be a motion, the most common being a shaking of the head as if you were shaking your head "no".

Now lets get some practice, and this is an important step. Assume that there is a table lamp in the room with you and it is turned off. Ask the question, in these words, "Is the lamp on?" Did you get a "yes" answer? Were they wrong? Not at all, you asked the wrong question, the lamp is indeed on the table. Now ask the question, "Is the table lamp in this room turned on?" Now the answer should be "No." Assume that the door to the room that you are in is open, ask, "Is the door open?" Got a "No" answer? Is the front door closed? There is a reason for these apparently "wrong" answers, they are not being contrary, only trying to get you to learn to be precise in your wording, and to make sure that you really do know what you are really asking.

As you work with them and get to know them, you will find that most of them have great senses of humor, they like a good joke as well as you or I. And they all have their own individual personalities. Once, I was helping a young man to meet his guides and he referred to one of them as "he." Suddenly, his eyes opened wide and a smile crept across his face. He said, "I just got my face slapped. And I heard, 'I'm not a he, I'm a woman.'"

You will also find in time that they will not be quite so insistent on the precise wording of your questions.

When you go to ask them a question in the future, it is a very good idea to first ask, "Who is with me?" Then look for the familiar I.D. touch. That will not only let you know which of your guides that you are talking to, but will also insure that it is one of your guides and not some stray spirit that happens to be passing by.

When you ask your guides for advice, ask for their opinions. They will NOT tell you what to do, but are more than happy to tell you their opinions. Put your questions to them in the format of "If you were in my position, would you ..." or "In your opinion would it be best for me to ...". Otherwise, you may not get an answer. Remember that it is your life, and you have to make the decisions and live with the results.

Yes, they all have names, they are after all, people. But I have tended to discourage using names until you really develop a discernment in identifying them by their thoughts. The reason is simple. Let us assume that you have a guide named Susan. Now you want to ask your guides a question and you start out by saying, "Who is with me?" and you clearly hear "Susan." OK, you assume that is your Susan. But unknown to you, it just happens to be some confused spirit who has recently died and is still wondering around, lost. And you are willing to talk to her! WOW! She will tell you anything that you want to hear, sure you were Nefertiti in a past life, and Queen Elizabeth, too. Mata Hari? Yeah, you can be her too if you want to. See what I mean? But that touch is a positive ID.

In the future, if a spirit shows up claiming to be a new guide for you, don’t take it at its word, check it out with your known guides before you accept anything that it tells you.

I wish you the very best in your efforts.

good luck

Answer 9

Well, I don't get in touch with spirit guides, myself but when I thought about it, I heard, "ask". Ask for yourself, and trust the answer you get. This one is one that's close to my heart, for i've been told my spirit guides are many things, with many names, but the truest by far is the first person (a friend) who told it to me. She ended up being right, and my guides have since slowly introduced themselves to me. And some people have told me that it's not possible for me to have these beings as guides, but my gut tells me otherwise. Something inside me won't LET me doubt that they are. So I trust it. If only because they won't let me not.

Ask and your guide will slowly introduce himself, but you're bound to have more than one. Most of us  have an indian guide, I've found, as well as a doctor guide (your personal "healer"). I have five.

Answer 10

If your spirit guides are trying to tell you something, why don't they just tell you?

You may be disappointed, but I think your spirit guide's name is not Joshua, but Chi Liang Nguyen

.

Answer 11

They are there all of the time. You just need to focus and listen to what they are trying to tell you.

Joshua is as good a name as any. It has been my experience that they are a bit above seeing names as being useful.

They don't see themselves as being separate like we do.

Love and blessings Don
