I have been wanting to write about our
spirit guides, teachers and loved ones for a long time,
and I wanted to help the individual person to understand
what is going on around them as they work with spirit,
who is with you, what do they look like, what do they do
with us, why are they in our lives? And a host of other
questions, I needed to sit down with my team in Spirit
and ask, and this is by no means all of what they had to
say. We will save part of that for another time. So, I
am giving you what I hope is the best information I can
give at this time on just a hand full of the most
well-known spirit guides and teachers, that you will
hear and work with the most. And as in all things, when
you decide to be a part of a private reading with your
chosen medium, not all guides and teachers will show up
for the medium, and not always the same guides and
teachers will show up for different mediums. Once you
read more about your Gatekeeper you will understand.
In your lifetime you will have many guides and teachers
in spirit who will be working with you, Your Guardian
Angel and Gatekeeper are the only ones with you from
birth, until you make your transition home. All of your
other spirit guides and teachers come and work with you,
as you are experiencing different levels and experiences
of education, which there are wide ranges that you have
chosen to go through in this physical incarnation on
mother earth.
Spirit guides influence many areas of our lives,
personally, professionally and spiritually. Whatever
influence the spirit is familiar with or comfortable
with, from one of their own incarnations on earth, will
be the area of proficiency in which the influence will
be felt the most when they work with us.
The same is true with spirits in general; as in our
loved ones who have transitioned home, because they all
hold on to their personal uniqueness when they make
their transition into spirit. If they were shy, loving,
scientific, creatively gifted, loud, giving, or
hotheaded, they are that same way in spirit. This is not
to say that they have not changed, just that, this is
what we remember our loved ones being like, when they
were here on Earth with us, so this then, is a
recognizable personal uniqueness of themselves to us,
that we can associate with, when they want to give us a
message or let us know when they are around.
Spirit guides and teachers with similar characteristics
are drawn to us; frequently they will share the same
interest, having similar personality traits, and may
have worked in the same profession as we are right now.
This is also true for ones in spirit who are not our
guides or teachers, but see the similarity of light we
share with them and they stop by, so to say and visit
with us. I once had a missionary who appeared beside me
and then presented himself on a spirit silk I have,
which was awesome because,
at that moment in time I was working on a mission with
abused women and children. The similarities of what we
both love to do became apparent to this individual in
spirit (by recognizing and being drawn to my light ) and
he just wanted to stop in and say hello to see what I
was working on. Somewhere within this coming together,
there are going to be similarities that you will find
between the two of you.
You will find Doctor guides, working with those who work
within the healing professions, spiritual healers,
doctors, especially nurses. The master teacher seems to
come in around highly religious people or the missionary
who fights for a worthy cause. We attract to us that
which is similar. Some believe they need only seek the
ascended masters in all they do, and there is nothing
wrong with this. But, I also know that we have made
contracts with so many guides and teachers, from the
spiritual realms for our incarnation this lifetime, to
work with us in our spiritual journey, that it would be
a shame not to acknowledge and seek their counsel also.
For they have their specific work to do with us in our
learning/educational path.
The following is descriptions and guidance associated
with working with our guides, teachers and angels, that
is meant to be an educational means to work from and not
intended to be absolute. The use of titles is for
identification purpose only. And by no means is it in
any way, descriptions of all of the guides, teachers and
angels in spirit who work with us and lend a helping
hand. When you visit or accept a message from a medium
or directly from Spirit, these are the most common names
that will be associated and then will be described to
you in the deliverance of your message. So please, use
the following information as a guideline to decide
between the influences you experience and the area of
guidance you receive, as you decide to work with or
understand your messages, signs, symbols and gifts from
one or more in spirit.
Please take what resonates with you in all things!!!
As in all things, the more we work to get to know our
guides and teachers, the more you will recognize their
energy, we have some guides and teachers that will be
with us for a long period of time and some that will
not. You have had and will have many guides and teachers
in this physical lifetime here on Mother Earth as you
travel on your spiritual journey.
It is not the most important thing to
have names from your guides, teachers and angels as long
as you recognize them, work with them and ask for their
assistance and guidance in all that you need. They are
just waiting to have you acknowledge them and they
lovingly send their support willingly.
The Gatekeeper
The first guide in the band is called Gatekeeper, or
Doorkeeper.
This particular spirit guide/teacher, is
with you from birth until you make your transition home,
just as your guardian angel does, but, please do not
confuse the two. This spirit is your overall protector,
and looks out for your best interest and holds you close
so no harm may come to you. Very often when you see a
gatekeeper guide around someone, the guide will stand
behind or in front of that person, wearing a voluminous
cape, with lots of enveloping folds. Which then, this
guide will wrap the cape around the individual, which
automatically signals a feeling of protection and
identifies the guide as a gatekeeper. You will also find
the Gatekeeper will have characteristics similar to your
own. The Gatekeeper is the one who gives his consent or
non-consent to the visiting clients - guides, teachers
and loved ones in spirit, to communicate in a reading
with the medium.
The Doctor Guide
The Doctor Guide, also referred to as the physician,
is most prominent in a person’s life when they work as a
healing professional, such as a doctor, nurse,
veterinarian, or spiritual healer.
The average person may not find their physician guide to
be as prominent as those people who work within the
healing profession. But guiding assistance is still
available to you when questions of health arise. Each of
us has the ability to “feel” an area of our body that
needs attention. Through meditation we can communicate
with our doctor guide in order to receive information
regarding what may be wrong with our body, what course
of action to take when we develop a condition, and which
physical doctor we need to see for the condition. The
information you receive can vary from starting to
exercise, to changing your diet, seek spiritual
counseling, visiting an herbalist or seeking out a
medical doctor.
The Chemist
Physical Phenomena was quite popular from the 1850
through the 1920’s as a means to prove the continuity of
life and the ability to communicate with the spirit
world. It was the chemist guide who adjusted the
medium’s body to accommodate the physically exhausting
channeling of spirit entities that were necessary to
perform such phenomena as materialization of spirits and
floating trumpets. Ectoplasm is necessary to produce the
phenomena, and the chemist is the spirit who made the
adjustment within the medium to produce it.
Our body chemistry has changed so much due to the
medicines prescribed for us; I hear a lot of talk about
how our bodies are not conducive as they once were for
the channeling of spirit phenomena. The chemically
preserved foods we eat, and the quality of our
environment, as well as our own conditioning from outside
influences has affected our abilities. Does this mean that no one has a
Chemist
Guide in his or her band? No! We all have chemist
guides; they just work with us in other ways as we look
at our medicines, food, the way we choose to live and
health related issues in out lives. The more you make
yourself aware of what is going on in your body and you
make the choice to live in a clean & clear body, the
more active your Chemist Guide becomes as he sees the work you
are doing to preserve yourself in wanting to work with
him. Anyone at anytime can start to develop their
relationship with their Chemist Guide by changing the
way your live and eat, and then meditating to open up
the channel of communication. I recommend to my students
to sit for at least two to four hours a day, if they are
serious and want to work with their chemist.
The Teacher
One of the ways a Teacher Guide works with us, is to
aid an individual in responding appropriately to their
karmic challenges. This guide is also present during experiences
meant to bring growth to an individual. The Teacher
Guide can be of the most assistance when we are
experiencing situations that appear to be unfair. If we
meditate on the circumstances that brought about the
situation that we feel is unjust, we may discover that
we are experiencing a karmic balancing. In other words,
we are experiencing the same thing we inflicted upon
another individual previously. If we judged someone
harshly, we are being judged. If we were involved in
dishonest business practices, we might find ourselves on
the other end of the stick, so to speak. What goes
around comes around. These are valuable learning
experiences, events given to us to advance our spiritual
growth.
The Philosopher
The Philosopher may, also be referred to as the Doctor
Guide. Most individuals will tell people the
Philosopher’s purpose is to bring guidance in material
matters, such as managing a business, selling your home,
buying stock, organizing a budget and balancing your
checkbook. This guide’s strongest influence can be
readily seen in those individuals, who are logical,
grounded people. I like to also refer to the Philosopher
Guide as the one who works with the individuals who do
public speaking, especially when fighting for a cause
that benefits the children, animals, abuse in the world,
and spiritual teachers.
The Philosopher works on a mental level
and is instrumental in helping us understand our karmic
lessons also. This spirit works hand-in-hand with the
teacher guide to assist us in acquiring the attitudes
and philosophies that are intended to lead us to our
highest personal development. Through meditation, we are
able to receive information from the Philosopher.
While walking through the isle in a
bookstore, it isn’t unheard of - for the Philosopher to
call attention to a particular book, which has fallen to
the floor, and when you pick it up you find it to be
just what you were looking for to help you in your
higher development. Spirits choose such interesting ways
to impress us with ideas, as they gives us signs and
symbols as gifts that we find along our journey to
enlightenment.
The Native/Protector
The American Indian seems to be the guide everyone
is most familiar with and expects to receive when in a
consultation with a medium. The country a person is born
in, is their native country, and that is the nationality
of their Native/Protector Guide. Since the American
Indian is the true native of the United States, it is
the Native American Indian that appears most often. This
native guide is the one most referred to as the
Protector Guide.
The North American Indians had a profound knowledge of
what some people would call paranormal forces. They
honor Mother Earth, Father Spirit, the four seasons, the
four directions, and the four elements of the Earth.
When they make their transition to the spirit side of
life, they carry these qualities with them. From spirit,
they are the native ruler of nature, and I find those
who work with herbs have very strong influences from
their Protector/Native Guide Many people feel the
presence of their Protector/Native Guide sitting next to
them in a car when they travel, and some tell stories
about accidents being averted due to their Indian
guides. Your Protector Guide is usually the first one to
make a strong presence with you, as you are more
comfortable with their protective nature spirit. My
Protector Guide never leaves my side and always looks
out for my best interest in my work, and when I lay down
to go to sleep at night, I ask him to be at my side and
watch over me as I sleep and dream, that no harm comes
to me.
The Joy Guide
Children are impish and mischievous as a rule. The
Joy Guide most often appears as a child, a small fairy
like child and/or young maidenly adolescent. They
can display behavior that would be described as
mischievous. Your Joy Guide is the one who is
responsible for bringing out the lighter side of our
personalities. When things become missing, your Joy
Guide is there to let you know to lighten it up
Even though your Joy Guide appears to be childish in
many ways, be respectful to them, for your Joy Guide is
highly intelligent in all ways as with all of your
guides. When mirth and merriment manifest within a group
of people unexpectedly for no particular reason, it is
frequently the presence of someone’s Joy Guide causing
the frivolity and trying to get your attention. We could
all certainly benefit from less stress by viewing some
matters with a sense of humor.
Call upon your Joy Guide when your daily
life becomes overwhelming, and you need to laugh out
loud. Your Joy Guide will show you the humor in the
situation. This Joy Guide is sometimes referred to as a
medium’s “message bearer “and to help control the spirit
crowd of an individual who is seeking a reading or
channeling. Your Joy Guide my sometimes call you “Mommy”
as she is of that child like energy, and wanting to make
you happy and joyful.
The Master Teacher
This is a very special guide to me for all the work
I have always done. The Master Teacher imparts to us
spiritual wisdom and philosophy, frequently that of the
Far East. They may appear as Asian, Hindu, a Buddhist
monk, or someone representative of India. For a person
studying a spiritual path, this guide is of great
importance, and one that is either overlooked or one
that someone will become fixated with as their one and
only guide. And there are individuals who think if you
do not know your Master Teacher then you don’t know your
guides. Well, I am here to say that simply is not true.
We work with and know our guides when we need to and as
we work more and more with them we get to know them
better. As you work in some capacity within the
spiritual or metaphysical world, the guidance you
receive from the Master Teacher will help you to acquire
a more spiritual perception of life in general. People
who are associated with a mission for humanity and
animals, social activists or other humane causes
certainly are strongly influenced by their Master
Teachers in all they do.
Ascended Masters
Ascended Masters are highly evolved beings who have
fulfilled their karma through many incarnations on the
earth plane and have continued to evolve on the spirit
side to become the enlightened beings that they are.
Most see these Ascended Masters as high vibratory energy
of light, and others see them as they would appear in the
physical world from their many incarnations. They
lovingly assist all of us spiritually, whether we are a
spirit embodied within the human form or a spirit who
has made the transition to the other side of life. All
of us may call upon any of the universal Ascended
Masters when we feel the need for their services. And as
with our guides and teachers, each Ascended Master has
their area in which they work with us. Some examples of
Ascended Masters would be St. Germain - manifestation,
Jesus- love, Kwan Yin- compassion, El Moray, Buddha, Serapis Bey and The Blessed Mother. As in all things, one
can cultivate a relationship with the Universal Ascended
Masters through prayers, meditations and petitions of
assistance. When the Ascended Masters are around, you
will feel their love, peace and comforting presence all
around you.
Guardian Angels
Are Guardian Angels the same as a Spirit Guide or
Teacher Guide? Well, Guardian Angels and Angels are
spiritual beings who are very present in our lives and
in a class all by themselves. What makes them angelic is
that they have never incarnated on Mother Earth, unlike
our Spirit Guides and teachers. Their affiliation is
with the elemental kingdom, such as; nature spirits,
gnomes, fairies, sylphs, water sprites, etc. The
nature kingdom lives in a universal realm, parallel to
ours, and they evolve in their realm, as we do in ours.
Our personal Guardian Angel is with us from birth until
we make our transition home, as is our Gatekeeper - once
again not to be confused with each other. Our Guardian Angel has never had a physical incarnation, while our
Gatekeeper, guides and teachers have had many a lifetime
in physical form. We are truly blessed to have so many
in Spirit to support us in our time here on Mother
Earth, and I honor them all!!!
I hope you have gained some insight into the Spiritual
Realms of all that is, all that was and all that ever
will be - and that part of, if not all of this
information has helped you in your travels
with Spirit. As before, take what resonates with
you, this list is by no means meant as absolute.
Sit down and take a moment to gently quite your mind
with some even deep breathes, let go of the day, say a
small prayer to surround you in the light of the Holy
Spirit and invite in all those loving guides, teachers
and angels from the light to be with you. Ask them to
share with you for your highest good and just relax and
watch what comes to you in the form of pictures,
thoughts, impressions, smells, a knowing, sensing, and
feelings. When you are done with your relaxing time with
all of them, please give thanks for their being with you
and invite them to join you in all you do.
Welcome to the spiritual realms, may you be blessed
forever!!!
