How many Spirit Guides do we have?
I am a hypnotherapist, specializing in past life regression, and I deal with clients’ Guides in every session. When a client goes through the death scene in their past lives — they ascend into Spiritual Reality, get energy healing, and meet their Guides.
We usually have 1–2 Personal Spirit Guides who have been with us in many lives. Sometimes they change when a soul is evolving — I see in my sessions that older souls usually have male Guides who are scholars or tricksters or magicians, but younger souls usually have loving and nurturing female Guides. Sometimes they have a male and a female Guide. But a female Guide can also be strong and fierce. Occasionally a Guide can be a child — or project this image if they are all about spontaneity and playfulness. Extra-terrestrial Volunteers incarnated in human bodies on Earth do not have personal Guides — as they are not enrolled in the Earth School and do not reincarnate here, they just come on a working mission. They will have an ET Team assisting them. (plus they will also have human family Ancestors and Specialists to help them to adjust on Earth)
In addition to personal Guides, there are also Ascended Masters, Angels, and Deities. I disagree with Michael Newton that Jesus or Angels or Hindu Gods are just masked personal Guides. I had numerous clients who met Jesus in the Afterlife, and he does not take off a mask and introduce himself as a personal Guide. Moreover, he always looks the same (brown hair, olive skin, dark eyes) and has a golden aura. If he was just a masked personal Guide — he would look different depending on the nationality of the client or their past life — like many different pictures of Jesus in religious art — you can see blue-eyed blonde Jesus, or a black Jesus, or black-haired Spanish Jesus, none of my clients ever saw these images regardless of their race or nationality or what past life they saw… So I am pretty sure this is real Jesus and not an imposter. My Indian clients usually have Shiva or Krishna as their Guides, and also famous gurus like Yogananda or Sai Baba. Many clients have Angels helping them as healers and protectors, these are huge energy clouds, not humans with wings.
We also have Ancestors — these are family members who passed and watching over you. It is very typical for the first Guide who shows up to be the client’s Grandmother. They are not personal Guides — they do not know much about your past lives and spiritual lessons, but they protect you as a family member and can be a good source of guidance on family matters, raising children, business, money, and all worldly concerns — they also often act as ‘heavenly matchmakers” as they want the family line to continue, and for everybody In the family to have a companion.
You will have many Specialist Guides throughout your life — they change depending on what you are doing and help you with a particular occupation or task. Artists have their Muses, inventors often have extra-terrestrial Guides helping them to bring otherworldly technologies, and healers have healing Guides or Angels, helping them to treat clients. Everybody has their own Healing Guides or knows the ‘Medical Team” in numerous Healing Places in 5D. You can manifest a Specialist Guide — a singer “channeling” a dead rock star would really have them as a Guide, or you can ask a painter or writer of the past to help you with your creative project — they usually agree to help…In my sessions, we usually ask for Specialist Guides for business or specific occupations — somebody always shows up and offers help
You can also have additional Guides who are your own Past Life Personalities or Soul Group Members or Twin Flames currently not in incarnation. Your own Higher Self — a higher dimensional aspect of Yourself not incarnated in a physical body is also providing you with Guidance and connection with the Source. For Starseed Volunteers, Higher Self is usually the main source of guidance, as they often do not have Personal Guides.
