There was a time when my spirit guides felt very far away.

I knew they were there.

I believed they existed.

Yet somehow, they always seemed distant.

Almost as though they belonged somewhere else.

Somewhere high above me.

Somewhere I could look towards...

But never truly experience.

Looking back now, I realise it wasn't because they were keeping their distance.

It was because I was.

It's fascinating how our beliefs quietly shape our experiences.

For a long time, I believed angels belonged in Heaven.

Far above the clouds.

Watching over us from a distance.

So that's exactly how I experienced them.

Whenever I became aware of their presence, I would see them high above me.

Beautiful.

Peaceful.

But always far away.

At the time, I never questioned it.

It simply felt normal.

As my own spiritual journey unfolded, something inside me began to soften.

I stopped trying to understand everything with my mind.

I became more open.

More trusting.

More willing to receive.

Without even realising it, I had quietly given my spirit guides permission to come closer.

And one day...

They did.

The experience caught me completely by surprise.

The moment I felt them close to me, something inside me opened.

An overwhelming wave of love flowed through my entire being.

Not ordinary love.

Not emotional love.

A love that felt limitless.

Unconditional.

Safe.

Complete.

I couldn't stop crying.

The tears just kept coming.

They weren't tears of sadness.

They were tears of remembering.

It felt as though every part of me had suddenly remembered something my soul had always known.

People often ask me what spirit guides feel like.

For me...

They feel like unconditional love.

Not love that needs to be earned.

Not love that depends on being perfect.

Simply love.

A love that quietly says:

"We've always been here."

"You're not alone."

"We've never left your side."

It's difficult to explain because our human language doesn't quite have the words.

It isn't something I can fully describe.

It's something that needs to be experienced.

One thing I'd like to gently remind you of is this:

Your experience doesn't need to look like mine.

Perhaps you'll never see angels.

Perhaps you'll never feel overwhelmed with emotion.

Perhaps your spirit guides will communicate with you through quiet intuition...

Through dreams...

Through synchronicities...

Or through a deep sense of peace.

There isn't a right or wrong experience.

There is only your experience.

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this:

The moment we expect spirit guides to communicate in one particular way...

We limit the countless other ways they might choose to reach us.

Stay open.

Allow yourself to be surprised.

Trust that whatever is meant for you will arrive in exactly the way you need to receive it.

Sometimes we think we're waiting for our spirit guides to appear.

Perhaps the opposite is true.

Perhaps they've been patiently waiting for us.

Waiting for us to ask.

Waiting for us to allow.

Waiting for us to become open enough to notice they were never absent in the first place.

If you've been longing to feel closer to your spirit guides, perhaps today is the day to take one small step.

Sit quietly.

Take a slow breath.

Place your hand on your heart.

And simply say:

"I'm ready."

You don't need to force anything.

You don't need to expect anything.

Just be present.

Remain open.

And trust that whatever unfolds...

Will unfold in perfect timing.

Because sometimes, the greatest spiritual experiences don't begin with extraordinary moments.

They begin with one quiet decision.

To open your heart.
