You can also look at it from the perspective of the main seven chakra<\/a> system, where your third eye is a gateway to receiving spiritual guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you start exploring your energy identity, you move beyond the bounds of time and space, your pictures and beliefs.<\/p>\n\u2014 Jeffrey Allen, trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Duality<\/em> Quest<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Jeffrey Allen<\/strong>, an energy healer and the trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Duality<\/em> Quest, explains that it comes through your third eye chakra, representing your intuition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In other words, you access higher wisdom through your intuition. This is why spiritual guidance is also known as an intuitive one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Who exactly does it come from?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n It may come from your higher self<\/em><\/a> or spiritual guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spirit or spiritual guides<\/a> are your personal guides to the energy world. Believe it or not, they are constantly assisting you on your human journey\u2014from your very birth and beyond this lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Jeffrey, they are assigned specifically to you. They are your spirit family members, moving with you from life to life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They are your trusted friends who always have your best interests in mind and spirit. But unlike your human friends or family members, they aren\u2019t localized in time and space and have no personal agenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In essence, they fulfill two roles:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your guides can help you understand:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s important to know that your guides are kind but honest. So their messages aren\u2019t always easy. So if you seek spiritual guidance but aren\u2019t open to receiving it, don\u2019t ask for it to begin with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We all want to experience this human life with ease and grace, especially when things get tough, don\u2019t we? And when things do get challenging, your family, friends, and community help you get through them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But your human support system often operates from a sole personality level, limited to one perspective. Also, your <\/em>people may have their own agendas, different from yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What\u2019s more interesting is that you, too, may have conflicting agendas within yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeffrey explains that sometimes your body personality and energy personality have polar opposite interests. This is why life gets challenging. So you need spiritual guidance to get them on the same page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Life is overwhelming when you don\u2019t work with your spirit guides. On the contrary, when you work with them, you trust that your life is on track, even when you don\u2019t see it with your physical eyes.<\/p>\n\u2014 Jeffrey Allen, trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Duality<\/em> Quest<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Still, your human experience isn\u2019t just about overcoming hardships. It\u2019s about living your best life effortlessly, which is mission impossible if you do everything on your own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s a massive difference between making an effort to achieve your desires and effortlessly manifesting them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to Jeffrey, manifesting comes naturally when you relax and let your guides help you. On top of that, when you work with your guides, you trust your timing and wait patiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessing your higher self or spirit guides for spiritual guidance is like having a panoramic view of yourself, specific situations, other people, and life in general from the top of the mountain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some of the benefits of receiving spiritual guidance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you see things from a higher perspective, there\u2019s no room for guilt. You\u2019ve done the best you can and are here to shine and grow.<\/p>\n\u2014 Jeffrey Allen, trainer of Mindvalley\u2019s Duality<\/em> Quest<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Deep meditation<\/a> is one of the most effective tools for receiving spiritual guidance. It creates the environment needed for proper attunement. In other words, it\u2019s through meditation that you connect with your higher self or spirit guides.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But receiving spiritual guidance is the process that goes beyond this connection point. It requires certain mindsets or attitudes to cultivate this ability and make this spiritual experience conscious and intentional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the most common reasons people don\u2019t receive spiritual guidance is their lack of patience. We get naturally frustrated when we don\u2019t hear anything back instantly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even if you try to talk to your higher self or spirit guides quite a few times but get no response, don\u2019t declare yourself (or them!) a failure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It may take longer than you expect to receive your intuitive guidance. So, enjoy the journey. When you do get it, be excited and deeply grateful for your guide\u2019s presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your spirit guides are very clever and know you better than you know yourself. Even if you can\u2019t hear them, they will find a way to get through to you if you let them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It might be a thought, a dream, or an inspired answer coming from your friend. Your attention might be drawn to words on a sign or a specific article or book. You might overhear a conversation and get your answer. Maybe you\u2019ll see the light around someone who can help you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pay attention to something that seems a little funny\u2014like a glitch in the Matrix. You are likely right next to your answer, and all you need to do is to think about your question to find your answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Think back to the times in your life when you already made perfect choices and succeeded in unlikely circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe you thought it was your excellent brain that helped you succeed, but did you ever wonder where your brain got all those great insights and answers?<\/p>\n\n\n\n It was your intuitive guidance that paved the way to success. So whenever things flow in your life, attribute this ease and effortlessness to the higher wisdom that\u2019s always supporting and guiding you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jeffrey explains that intuitive guidance often feels like you are making it up. \u201cYou are to a certain degree because you\u2019re perceiving things beyond time and space,\u201d<\/em> he adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So you want to follow it, even if it feels like you are imagining things. If guidance feels light and comforting, even if it\u2019s incredibly random and doesn\u2019t make sense at the moment, you can still trust it and have fun with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The more you practice it, the more real it becomes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It may sound contradictory, but consciously not following your guidance can provide great validation too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, when stuck in traffic, you can ask for guidance on which road to take and then intentionally go the opposite way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These choices can take you into standstill traffic, roadside accidents, unusual road closures, and other unexpected delays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seeing the alternatives will encourage you to follow your guidance even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This approach is suitable for situations where a little difficulty or delay is acceptable for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don\u2019t expect to get it perfect right away. You are learning, and you are going to make mistakes. Sometimes, you will make up your answers or just hear what you want to hear. Especially if you are a beginner, you won\u2019t know the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even when you are getting clear guidance, there are times when you will be surprised or disappointed by the initial results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some guidance can only be understood later\u2014sometimes much later\u2014when you have the perspective to see how the situation was perfect for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With experience and practice, you will learn to trust your guidance and be grateful for any experience it brings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It always helps to spend time with energy healers who have already learned what you\u2019ve just started to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Want to clear blockages or resistance to receive intuitive guidance? Sign up for a healing or a reading session with an experienced psychic or energy worker. It can also help clear blockages or resistance to receiving intuitive guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There\u2019s no need to learn on your own when there are great people<\/a> available to help you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Messages from your guides are often funny, kind, non-judgmental, usually a bit surprising, and always insightful<\/p>\n\n\n\n They will always respond to you in light, positive, familiar, and comfortable ways. If the guidance is pushy or negative, sounding like\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
