8 Types of Spirit Guides and How They Can Help You

Spirit guides have been described as helpers or beings from the multi-dimensional realm that are here to support and guide us on our life path. 

However some people believe that they are projections of our higher self and soul that appear in various forms and archetypes.  

In modern day society most people are so disconnected to their own power and are used to outsourcing everything, that it can be easier for our humanness to believe that there are beings outside of yourself that are guiding us. Versus realizing that it’s our own soul! 

Whatever perspective you subscribe to, it’s without a doubt that our spirit guides offer the most amazing help, support, clarity and direction when we need it the most and the are always trying to communicate with you.

So, here are 8 types of spirit guides, and ones that I have personally worked with and encountered on my spiritual journey: 

Teacher Guide

These guys usually show themselves in the form of an archetype, or some kind of symbology that represents an insight, message, or energy that you typically need for a particular part of your soul's journey. They can show up as archetypes like the Warrior, the Native American Chief, the Shaman, the Witch, the Wise Woman, the Queen, or the Wizard. 

Ancestor Guides

An ancestor guide is a passed on loved one or someone from your ancestral lineage that can be here to help heal ancestral wounds, patterns and give insights to challenges on your path.

Ascended Masters 

Ascended masters are guides that once lived a human life, but ascended to a place of enlightenment, and now work with large groups of souls to help evolve humanity. Ascended masters include Jesus, Mary Magdalene, Buddha and Quan Yin. 

Angel Guides

Angel guides have a very distinctive frequency and often support us by offering unconditional love and protection. Major archangels include Michael who helps support us with protection and strength, Archangel Raphael who helps support us with relationships and emotions and archangel Gabriel who can support us with creativity and communication. Your angel guides are always waiting to be asked for support and help, and you can call on them to support you in any area of your life. 

Elemental Guides

Elemental guides are spirits of nature and most common ones are Fairies and Plants. As well as working with the elements of Air, Fire, Earth, and Water. They can also show up as more mythical symbols like unicorns, dragons and mermaids. These guides can help you align to the cycles of mother nature, support your emotions and intuition, offer protection and help you connect to playfulness and creativity. 

Galactic Guides

Galactic Guides are spirit guides who have incarnated in other dimensions, star systems or planets other than earth. People who connect with being star seeds me experience these types of guides, who are making themselves known at this time to help anchor in soul gifts, talents and frequencies to help support their growth in this lifetime. They may be from star systems like the Pleiades, Arcturus, or Sirius. 

Guardian Guide 

Your Guardian guide is your main guide that supports your soul through multiple lifetimes, and is usually present through each death and reincarnation process. They are usually the one to meet you at the gates of the universe once you die. Your guardian spirit guide is devoted to your spiritual growth and they may have chosen you because they had similar experiences or gifts that relate to the lessons and journey that you have chosen to experience in this lifetime. 

Animal guides 

Animal guides can show up as power animals, in meditations, dreams or synchronicities out in your day to day life or in nature. Each animal guide tends to have a message or an energy that will support you at the moment you encounter them. So for example seeing an eagle may represent seeing things from a higher perspective, and seeing a snake may be a message to show you where you need to shed old layers. 

How Spirit Guides Can Help You

No matter who your spirit guides team are, they are unique to you and learning how to develop a relationship navigate your life’s journey with greater clarity and ease.
