Connect to Your Divine Guides to Heal & Grow

When I stumbled onto my spiritual journey, I was at rock bottom. I’d had two heart attacks in a week. I was grieving from losing my baby at 9 weeks. I was struggling to accept that I would never have children. My job as a screenwriter was stressful and pressurised, in a culture of bullying and control. I was so busy working that I was slipping away from my family and friends. And that was just the pain I was conscious of. There was also the buried grief of losing my father to cancer and the unacknowledged trauma of growing up during the Troubles.

I felt alone, lost, disconnected from love in any form, and drifting far away from divine love.

Divine love and guidance was always with me, but the world had blinded me to it.

I wasn’t listening to and following the loving guidance that was whispering in my heart. I was listening to the screaming voices of the world instead, and my life became so unbalanced that I hit the bottom – and then I was ready to listen clearly.

My life turned around when I started to connect with the divine beings of love that are with us all. I first connected to my angels, and later my spirit guides. I was too angry with God to connect with Him, but these beautiful beings of love gave me a gateway to stay connected to the Divine and to work through my anger and pain.

My angels and guides showed me what divine love is. They helped me to accept I was worthy of this love. They gave me healing. They guided me on my path. They helped me develop my spiritual gifts. And later they helped me connect to teachers like Jesus and Mary Magdalene.

These divine teachers and guides all led me back to God – but to a deeper connection with and understanding of God as the Light, God as the Source of All Love, who loves us unconditionally and wants us to be happy.

You can connect with your divine guides right now and they will help you to heal and grow. Divine guidance is whispering to you always – in your feelings, in your knowing, in the thoughts and images that flow up from somewhere deep within you, in your gut instincts.

But to really tap into the guidance and love of your divine guides, you need to spend time with them every day. Think of it like building up a new friendship – but with loving friends who know you better than you know yourself.

When I connect to my divine guides, I still do what I did in those early days of my healing journey. I know my guides know better than me what I need, so I go into meditation, and instead of asking for something specific, I ask them to help me experience what I need in that moment. It may be a healing energy, a divine insight, clarity on a pattern I need to let go of, a way to forgive, or guidance on the way forward. I trust I will get exactly what I need.

Throughout my day, I also ask for divine help for things big and small. I’ve asked for everything from deep healing, to help finding my favourite eyeliner.

Try it for yourself. Spend time with your divine guides. Notice when you receive help and healing. Ask for signs they are with you. They will give you countless signs at the start of your journey that they are listening, and are with you, helping you.

However don’t get lost in the simplistic idea of asking and receiving. Divine help is not about being in a sweetie shop and getting everything you ask for. It’s about getting everything you need for the growth of your soul.

Sometimes what you need is NOT to get what you asked for. Think about that for a moment. Think back to those times when you were glad you didn’t get what you wanted – and you got something much better instead, something you couldn’t even have imagined asking for.

Simplistic ideas can lead you down the wrong path and make you question your divine guidance. I’ve heard so many people say, ‘I’ve asked for help with this thing and I didn’t get it, so my angels are not listening to me and I’m not asking again.’

What’s happening in this situation is the person is saying I’m asking for this and only this, I want it to happen in this particular way, and I’m not open to anything else. I’m staying blind to what’s truly happening here.

Your divine guides know better than you – so put it out there what you need help with, then let that help happen as it needs to, in its own way. Don’t insist on it happening in a specific way. Leave room for the help to come.

Remember that this divine help is there to help you grow. Do you need to change a long held opinion in order to receive what you asked for? Do you need to let go of an old pattern? Do you need to forgive? Are your divine guides showing you how to do this life-changing thing, but you’re staying blind to it because you only want one thing to happen, and in a way prescribed by you?

Your spiritual path is a path of remembering that you don’t need anything external to make you happy, and you will never have true happiness when it depends on having anything external.

True happiness is within. True healing is within. True peace is within. Ask for help to find these within.

Ask for help in your daily life, but let your divine guides help you in their higher, deeper, wiser way, and open your eyes and heart to see this help in all its beauty.

Their help will always bring you inner peace and lead you forward into a higher, more healed and awakened version of yourself.
