Opening up to your guides

We are told that we were born with a guide who is with us thoughout our lives, some have additional guides who come to help them in specific lessons they need to learn or with a project they want to accomplish.
In day to day lives, we all have problems, some people ask why me others are able to accept it and move on. Each problem is a new direction of learning - people you met or have in your life are lessons to learn from. You either help them or they help you. Over time there is a healing process and find what the lesson was and learn from it.
What really helps you get through these life lessons are your guides.
There are many different kinds of guides, there are some to help people, and are available when people ask for help.
People can preceive their guides in various ways.
Some people have described their guides as angels, yet others experience their guides as energy or a light or even a warm, loving feeling. When get messages from your guides you need to look at for signs.
They dont always send messages by words or you see a vision, or get a feeling.
Guides are your friends, they are there to love and support you and even encourage you. You could say they are like wise teachers unfortuntely they dont always relay the messages on how you would like them too. You actually have to learn to recognize the messages, which may come in a song, dream, phrase, feeling. Now that doesnt mean you have a problem and you tune into a radio and hear a song "Breakup is hard to do" and race out and break up with your partner. The song comes from your innerself and it may be played over and over when comes when you least expect it.
The best way of communicating with your guides are through meditation.
or if you have something that is really bothering you talk to your guide quietly and ask for some form of help. Now you may not get a message straight away, while you are waiting for your guide start to access your problem and see what's causing it and the best way of resolving it.
When opening up to your guides through meditation, you really need to protect yourself and you do this through a protection pray or ask your guide to protect you and have faith in God.
For the beginners that are following, some have seeked for help from those who have gifted their abilities with experience and might hear ask your guide for help and you stratch your head and say but how. Trust me I have been there. How do you ask your guide for guidence when they dont talk back to the answers you want, and you feel silly talking to yourself. It's mind thinking you might not know who your guide is but a great way of introducing yourself to your guide is treat them as a new friend and tell them what the problem is and suggest if they can help and always be grateful and thank them and have faith.
