Ever had the same book recommended to you by several people in a short period of time? Ever had an experience where someone has offered you a book without prompting and it has turned out to be exactly what you needed? Chances are your guides are trying to get your attention on a particular topic so be sure you pay attention!
This has happened to me on several occasions. The most recent was just last week. A client and friend came for a reading and brought with her a copy of a book she’d mentioned to me when I saw her at the Boutique Markets the week before. The book was Sonia Choquette’s Ask Your Guides: Connecting to Your Divine Support System. It’s a great book which introduces the range of guides available to you and how they can help. Sonia provides information about guardian angels as well, describing the difference between them and our spirit guides. I’d recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about their guides and how to communicate with them. There was a great chapter on automatic writing too, which I have found to be the best way to receive information for yourself. This booked turned up to remind me to I have more than one guide available to help me and that there is a world of support available if I just ask.
Two other occasions come to mind when I think of how certain books make their way to you in unusual ways and I want to share them with you here. read more

I was lucky enough to be joined by a small group of lovely women over the weekend for my ‘developing your intuition’ workshop.
Although the workshop covers a range of topics and techniques to help you open your intuition and communication with your spirit guides, one of the key things which I took out of the weekend was the element of trust which is involved.
It’s important, especially when starting out, to trust the information you receive. This means initially trusting that you DO have the ability to pick up on this kind of information and then trusting that what you receive is there to help guide you. Following your intuition can be riddled with fear for many, as there is no ‘real’ or ‘logical’ explanation for wanting to follow a particular path.
A great way to build that trust in yourself is to record everything you receive. By writing down everything – from a simple hunch through to specific guidance you may receive – you can begin to notice your own accuracy, which over time gives you more and more confidence in the information you are receiving.
Try writing down what information you receive and the way in which you receive it. Information can be received in any number of ways – through clairvoyance (images), clairaudience (sounds), clairsentience (feeling or sensing),claircogniance (‘just knowing’), clairgustiance (taste) and clairaliance (smell). (I talk about these some more in this post).
For example, you could jot down whether you saw a flash of a picture, or heard a specific name, date or place, perhaps you felt a certain way, either good or bad, or just knew something to be true. Sometimes the information comes in a number of ways at once. For example, you might see a picture of a person you know, know that you need to contact them and feel like the reason is a positive one. Write down what this felt like so you can recognise it next time around.
Overtime, you will start to develop a guidebook to help you decipher the signs and symbols you receive and what it means, so it’s easier for you to follow your own intuition.
If we ask for it, we are frequently given signs and specific direction from our guides to help us in our lives – the trick is we often miss it. The signs and symbols can be quite subtle and sometimes we are waiting for all of our problems and questions to be answered in a far more dramatic way.
This was reinforced to me today and yesterday. Almost every day I channel my guides through automatic writing. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asking my guides to help me see some situations in my life more clearly and they’ve repeatedly explained how things will most likely pan out – although I’ve been frustrated as it seemed to me that nothing was really moving in the direction they had said, nor was it happening at a speed I’ve been happy with!
Yesterday in my writings, my guides gave me a very specific sign to watch out for (thankfully, because I was becoming impatient waiting for the big things to happen!). I was told I’d get a random reference to a 50 cent piece during the day and when I got this sign, I was to take it as confirmation that everything is exactly where it needs to be and unfolding as they’ve said it would. I was also told to pay attention to the people that come into my life and that they would reinforce what I’m meant to be doing.
I didn’t get my 50 cent sign yesterday (although it did turn up today – more on that later!). read more
