On Spirit Guides

Note from Suzanne:  I received an email this morning from someone who lost a loved one and wanted to know:  Do our loved ones become our spirit guides? 

Sanaya Answered:  Yes, some do, but not immediately, as you would know it.  There is a period of adjustment as they learn to operate in their new reality.  It is a period of great wonder, and for those who may have suffered in human form, a period of rest. 

They do take on tasks in the other reality, but this is not considered “work.”  It is the joyful fulfillment of service.  If there was a strong bond between you in human form, there will continue the desire to help from the other side.  And so, they will, indeed, watch over you and do their best to guide you without interfering in your life lessons.

Understand that all humans have one or more guides who accompany them for the duration of their stay in a body.  Others come and go as needed, performing various tasks.  Your loved ones with whom you have walked on earth fall into this latter category.  Call on them for help as needed.  Ask them to be at your side and to guide you, and there they will be.

In the meantime, you are never truly alone.  Your guides walk with you always, holding you up when you have no strength.  Call on them often, for they are all the more present when you ask.  They stand by, awaiting your call.  In this way you show your acknowledgment of their presence and allow them to help you even more. 

Always remember, you are more loved than you can imagine.
