Are you aware of your earthly spirit guides?

Many times, people in the spiritual community refer to our spirit guides as coming from above, such as angels, guardian angels, ethereal beings, and more. This is definitely one aspect of our helpers in spirit. There is another aspect that is not as often talked about. These are our earthly spirit guides. These guides come in many forms. These include guides from the animal kingdom, birds, insects, fish, elemental beings, fairies, gnomes, trees, plants, etc. Even the elements of air, fire, water, and earth are spirit helpers. 

Hawks, ravens, crows, eagles, and vultures are my most frequently recognized bird spirit guides. I thank them each and every time for showing up when I ask for assistance. They never let me down. Ever. I’d like to share a brief story of these amazing spirit guides and how easy it is to work with them.

Recent Guiding of My Own

Over the last year, I have been making frequent, mainly solo road trips from Maine to Pennsylvania. Each and every time I ride in a vehicle, I always ask for Archangel Michael’s protection as well as the watchful guidance of my bird spirit guides. Though most of the time these bird spirit guides present themselves as actual birds, sometimes they do not.

The most recent trip I took from Pennsylvania to Maine began in darkness for the first hour and a half. Obviously it would be hard to see any birds when it is dark out, but there was another way they let me know they were around. The radio station 99.9 The Hawk was the only station I “happened” to tune into that had music I liked (80’s girl here). Once it was daylight, the hawks, vultures, and ravens appeared throughout the rest of the drive (a long 10 hours), providing me reassurance that I was being watched over by these earthly guides. For example, a hawk would fly past my car or be sitting on a telephone wire. A raven had perched itself on the back end of a truck which I parked next to at one of the travel stops along the way and watched me as I walked past it. It was still perched in the same spot when I left the travel stop. Multiple vultures swooped across the highway at various parts of the trip. I especially noticed an increase of bird sightings when my travel anxiety would ramp up, like with heavy traffic, and it never failed to make me feel more at ease.

My awareness of these travel companions has become second nature and is a constant in every trip I make. 

Engaging With Your Earthly Spirit Guides

There are countless other instances when these and other signs from spirit have offered guidance throughout the years, too many to recount in this short blog.

Everyone has spirit guides, whether they are from the angelic realm, earth realm, the other side. The key to learning about these is to pay attention and acknowledge them. Say a brief “thank you” when that cardinal appears, which always makes you think of your grandmother. I guarantee the more you are able to recognize their presence in your life, the more they will show up. When you have a question you’d like assistance with, ask your spirit guides to show themselves.

Be specific if you’d like, perhaps asking only for a hawk or eagle to confirm an answer.
