As a rule I try not to drink spirits before lunchtime, think that is a good guide and one the rest of you should follow! Dave

I have a question. How do you people that know the names of their guides know this? I went to a spiritualist after a friend went and was told her guide was an old man. I wanted to see if the spiritualist could tell me about mine , but she didn't mention anything, only that she could see a tortoise! Apparently this signified me , wanting to stay in my shell! Would she have been able to see them?

Funny how they all seem to be either Red Indians or Chinese

Some people believe in spirit guides, some in guardian angels. Some believe their ancestors are watching out for them. I am guided by my conscience and instincts. Maybe these are influenced by a higher power, maybe not. But I don't think I would label the feelings I get about doing/not doing something as a spirit guide. nell

How fascinating this thread is ! I am not sure what or who my guide is , all I know is someone must be looking out for me . When I was convinced I had an illness although I had no symptoms, my doctor thought I was being paranoid. I had such a strong sense of someone warning me something was wrong, that I had my first mammogram. I had breast cancer that was in the early stages , but definately on the move. Whoever my guide is , I have them to thank , I am sure.

LOL just read this thread again. It is spooky BC I know but have to admit I'm PMSL at Wendy. That's the way I've always treated it too, but hey, who knows. Hope I do have one - I need one, badly at times. Jan :-))

I think I tend to agree with Wendys assessment David lol

anita this reminded me of how i felt 11 years ago, ive always felt spooked as i was growing up and felt my kids have had someone watching over them, only as my daughter got to teenage years that through going to meetings with her i have put a reason for things that have happened, as maybe not being coincidence whilst living away (hubby was a soldier) i used to call my parents regular and write everyday to mum and dad, mum would write too , i sat one afternoon in my fairly new quarter, with kids , writing to mum and dad drinking a cuppa coffee, it was just before 5pm, and just gazed out window trying to think what to say, when my hand went weak spilling my coffee over letter and suite, next day hubby phoned my brother as i couldnt get reply at mum and dads house and sister in law told him mum had collapsed at around 5pm the day before and was in hospital, i feel it was a warning but at the time my head was all over the place

Paul The theory is that it doesn't work like that. Spirit guides aren't there to make your life easier but apparently when and if you are ready they come to you to help you become aware of your higher self and guide you towards a greater understanding.

Hi, My Grandparents were healers, and I have been bought up with the knowledge of spiritulism and healing. While at my Nans one day when I was about 14, a lady came to her house to give my grandad healing, she told me that there was a lady who was looking after me, she described her, and my Nan told me that it was her Mother. This lady (trudie) also told me that when I reach my late 20's early 30s I would start to feel 'things' and that when I am 30 I would be given 2 peices of gold,which I must add, freaked me a bit. 3 years ago my maternal Nan passed away (suddenly), the week leading up her death I felt unwell, I kept getting palpations, and feeling dizzy, I could'nt figure it out. The day she passed the feeling disapeared, and I believe that I was being prepared for her going. I was very close to her, we had a very speacial bond. My Nan passed away 2 weeks before our birthdays, her's was the day after mine. My mum gave me her eternity and engagment rings, (2 peices of gold) I had just turned 31! My paternal Nan who was a healer, passed away 2 years ago, since her passing I have felt a very strong presence to my right. I like to think that both my Nans are looking after me.

If there's someone watching over me, then he or she isn't doing a very good job...

ive been told , when your ready your guide will know and tell you who they are, i believe someone or more than one are watching over us, things happen that make you think ask what was all that about, hubby thinks im nuts ,daughter has some agreement with me most of the time as she believes in spirits, mainly vodka , no just kidding shes at spiritualist church tonite, last week they told her of the probs shes having with boyfriend and told her she knows her nana is pushing her in the right direction, as boyfriend is dragging her down, all of which is true next day she got a call from boyfriend (after hed been uncontactable for 5days, hes now ex boyfriend, halelujah,halelujah

Thanks David and Louise - you've no idea how comforting I find your offers..................... lol. xx

If I go before you Wendy I will sit in front of your pooter and wave coooeeee to you.

Wendy - if I get to the other side I'll be your guide. I'd be such a good influence.

wendy your halo is firmly in place me duck x

Sioux - it must be lovely to feel you've really got someone there watching over and guiding you. No self respecting guide would be seen anywhere near me though!! :-( lol.

Hahahah Wendy you did make me giggle .... I know not every one is of the same mind, and thats fine too ..... good lord if we were all the same what would there be left to experience :~D Hugs Sioux

I have one called Heap Big Codswallop - we're very close and understand each other perfectly.

Thats lovely Joanne. Im glad im not the only one, when we lived in our very old house when my nan was no longer with us I always use to talk to her cos somehow I knew she was there. Ive told my partner if my nans old house came up for sale again Id buy it cos to me she is still there. Yvonne x
