What Is The Difference Between A Spirit Guide And An Angel?

If you’ve spent much time in spiritual development circles or on New Age websites, you’ve certainly run across references to spirit guides, guardian angels, archangels, the angelic realm— and many people use these terms fairly interchangeably. But a spirit guide is not an angel, and there are many levels of angelic beings, including the archangels.

I like to offer the following definitions to people so they have a clearer idea of what energy they are comfortable with and might like to work with.

What is a Spirit Guide?
We all have spirit guides—whether or not you believe in them or have yet to make contact, you have at least one guide who is always present to assist you. A spirit guide is a soul that has reached a certain point in their evolution so that they aware and expanded enough to assist another soul in their evolution. Guides have been incarnated as humans, so they understand the human experience. They are capable of a level of non-judgment, compassion, and love that most of us can only guess at.

Spirit guides have consciously and purposely taken on the role of being a guide. They want to assist you; it’s their job! They can’t intervene in your life unless you ask. I encourage all my clients to find a way to cultivate an awareness of and a relationship to their guides.

Guides are like friends but with greater wisdom and unconditional love available. Typically, we all have more than one. We receive guides at different ages and stages of life, though usually we are done receiving new guides by age 21 or so. We can call on “specialist” guides and may receive temporary guides from time to time to help with specific issues in life. I haven’t met anyone who has more than seven guides; nor have I met anyone who doesn’t have at least one.

Spirit guides usually fulfill different roles in our life. For example, I have two guides who help with healings and one that is more of a personal confidante and helps with emotional issues. One guides me spiritually, and I know there is one more, but I haven’t yet made personal contact with it (something to look forward to). Some people work with their guides to be better parents, to excel in their career, or to specifically improve in the arena of personal growth or healing.

Contact with my guides comes about through specific meditations, in healing work, or, once, in a lucid dream. I see them in my mind’s eye—and they look like people. They have different ethnicities, dress from different time periods, and sometimes they tell me their names. Everyone’s experience is different, though, so don’t expect your guides to appear like anyone else’s.

Spirit animals exist, too, though they are different from a guide who has had a human soul. Often spirit animals are conduits of wisdom or act as protector spirits or companions.

What is an Angel?
Different spiritual traditions describe the angelic realms in various ways. There seems to be agreement that there is a hierarchy of angels, and these groupings are organized by function. Like spirit guides, angels are also available for guidance and protection, and they embody unconditional love, compassion, and wisdom. It is not believed, however, that angels have ever been incarnated in any other form.

You may talk to angels and pray to them—although they aren’t to be worshiped. Some belief systems suggest that we all have a guardian angel whose job it is to watch over us. You can probably think of some close calls you’ve had in your life when you were delivered from harm. Guardian angels keep us safe in situations such as these and work through our intuition to guide us away from dangerous choices.

Archangels are probably the most well known, outside of a strictly religious context. Doreen Virtue has pioneered the knowledge and accessibility of this angelic realm. There are several archangels—such as Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael—and they govern different areas of life. Archangel Michael is the angel most called upon for protection and guidance; Raphael is called in more frequently for healing.

I have clients who come from a more religious upbringing or context and find the idea of working with angels to be more comfortable than the concept of spirit guides. Angels can help you in your life as well as your guides.

In my own experience, spirit guides just seem more personal. I experience angels when I’m giving healings; often, both guides and angels will be present, but they have different energies. I see guides in detail whereas angels appear more as light. My work with angels is limited specifically to healings, where they appear to assist with my work on the client. They don’t “belong” to me or to the client but rather just show up. When I see them, I know they are there to help, and I let them do whatever they need to do—I don’t direct them. We don’t communicate, but I know they are there to heal, and, less frequently, for the comfort and protection of the space.

Psychics have their own ways of working with either guides, angels, or both. Some are actual angel practitioners and work exclusively with that realm on their client’s behalf. Others will contact or channel your spirit guides for you or help you interact with your guides on your own.

The great thing about angels and guides is that we have all this loving, wise help available for us, however we choose to perceive that help and work with it in an active way.

If You See These 12 Changes You Are Turning Into A Hyper-Dimensional Being

The Earth is in the process of ascending from a three dimensional reality to a hyper-dimensional one. Even our bodies will feel the changes as we prepare ourselves to live in a whole new reality.

This is a time for great change and fluctuations; so it can be a bit hard on all of us. But preparing ourselves for this change and understanding its impact will help us navigate through these confusing times. Here are the 12 signs which indicate your shift into a hyper-dimensional being.

1. You no longer find synthetic foods even remotely appetizing because you have become aware of the importance of healthy nutrition.

2. You feel like you’re under the weather a lot. Aches, body pains and other such symptoms surface when there is enormous amount of energy working its way through your body.

3. You are finally able to see why certain things in the past had to happen the way they did.

4. You seek peace and quiet. No matter how much a party freak you were before, you want a quieter life now.

5. You feel the need to heal yourself as the changes around you take the toll on your body. And you find yoga, meditation and other such natural remedies more useful.

6. Your understanding of time is going through a rapid shift.

7. You no longer take things for given. You have your doubts about the ‘facts’ which are being served to you by popular media and you do your due diligence before believing anything.

8. Same with what is happening in politics. You are much more aware of its inner workings than before.

9. You also prefer to be in the company of people who can remain peaceful as silence appeals to you more.

10. You are finally letting go of people who bring negative or toxic vibes in your life and who can’t help in your growth.

11. You find that you are full of a new kind of energy. Something which you’ve never felt before.

12. You feel a change within you as you finally find the balance within. You are ready for any new challenges because you have completed faith in your powers.

Why Twin Flames Meet Later In Life After Marriage

It is a popular notion on the internet that the multiple relationships that twin flames get into, with known-TFs, is mainly to learn lessons and clear off the karma.

This notion is strongly in conflict with the awareness I received in my journey. It’s just quite the opposite. The twin flames are nurturing unnecessary karma by prolonging their relationships with people who are NOT their twin flames.

This is very evident as they lead their lives day in and day out with dilemma, loathing, and self-doubt…stuck in a place where they don’t belong and yet fulfill their responsibilities dutifully. Isn’t all that karma after all? And who said this was all necessary…that it must be necessarily fulfilled?

Trust me, this is NOT God’s way of preparing a twin flame couple for their union! The Divine never offers multiple relationships for a person to learn about a perfect relationship.

A relationship can be made beautiful by living it out and learning through it constantly. You don’t need ANOTHER relationship to learn this stuff. If it is merely for the sake of learning…multiple relationships would never be needed!

Think of it! Twin flames who walked this journey many times in their previous lives…need another relationship to learn lessons!?! Do they really need ONE MORE relationship to learn “love and life” lessons?

When even unaware people can handle love and life happily without such lessons! Have the twin flames NOT been lucky to learn those lessons yet through their past lives?

While I agree, people can always learn lessons through relationships, I’d add…given one more wrong relationship, you will have even more lessons to learn. This can be never-ending! You want more, you get more…if lessons are what you want to attract, instead of your twin flame!

Let me get into some background of twin flames. Twin flames taking divergent paths is in the nature of the twin flame journey.

The lives on Earth are a reflection of Cosmic events. The twin flames are participating in this journey to fix a Cosmic Error that is standing as a big hurdle to Ascension. And that cosmic error is playing itself out in the lives of all the twin flame couples.

This cosmic error is responsible for divergence and multiple relationships. And it is those very things that twin flames have to OVERCOME.

By accepting, committing to and prolonging relationships with non-TFs, twin flames are actually fostering and deepening the error instead of fixing it! It’s like trying to uncork a bottle in the reverse direction and making the lid tighter and making it more difficult to open…while it would have been so easy to open the bottle if only they turned the lid in the right direction!

So, now coming to the question! Why do twin flames meet later in life after marriage?

There is all sort of combinations out there! Twin flames who meet young, go their own ways..cross paths…go their own ways…get married…cross paths again…

Or..twin flames who get married before spiritual awakening…and cross paths with their twin flames and then awaken…

Whatever it is, the common element is…the twin flames are NOT married to each other, but married to somebody else! So what is the reason for that?

It is certainly NOT for learning some lessons!

It is in the nature of the journey! It is due to the Cosmic Error that they are getting into these relationships. And I reiterate, it is that very thing they must OVERCOME!

This Is What People Will Remember Most About You Based On Your Zodiac Sign

You go after what you want with a reckless abandon. You take risks that not many people would take. You are fearless and a lot of people would want to emulate that aspect of your personality.

TAURUS (APRIL 20 – MAY 21)
Whenever people think of you, they instantly think about how patient and methodical you are with your ways. They will remember that you are the kind of person who really likes to be sure about things.

You never rush into anything the way an Aries does. You always like to be set in your ways and you don’t really like engaging in new experiences all too much.

GEMINI (MAY 22 – JUNE 21)
You are going to be known for your tendency to gossip. People can never really feel like they can trust you with their secrets because of your big mouth.

You are always so quick to spread rumors about people and while that can be fun for some, it is also unnerving for most.

CANCER (JUNE 22 – JULY 22)
You will really be known for your sensitive nature as a Cancer – and that can be a double-edged sword. You are very kind and caring because of your sensitivity.

You really know how to be mindful of the feelings of others and so you always know how to conduct yourself tactfully. However, you are also so sensitive to the point that you are easily offended by things and people feel like they have to walk on eggshells around you.

LEO (JULY 23 – AUGUST 22)
Is it really any surprise? People will remember your cockiness and arrogance above all things when it comes to your personality.

SCORPIO (OCTOBER 23 – NOVEMBER 22)
You are always going to be known for your vindictive behavior. As a Scorpio, you tend to hold grudges a lot. Vengeance is practically a word that can attribute to the way that you live your life.

You never forget when people wrong you, and you always use your anger towards them to fuel you as you go on in life. However, your vengeful nature can be used for both bad and good.

SAGITTARIUS (NOVEMBER 23 – DECEMBER 21)
A couple of things spring to mind whenever you are brought up in a conversation. As a Sagittarius, people will adore you for your free spirit.

CAPRICORN (DECEMBER 22 – JANUARY 20)
You are going to come off as quite snobby and confrontational as a Capricorn. And that’s mostly what you will be remembered for.

However, the people who really know you are the ones who understand that you aren’t so socially inclined because you are hardworking and goal-oriented. You are the kind of person who really likes to get the job done.

AQUARIUS (JANUARY 21 – FEBRUARY 18)
As an Aquarius, you will most be remembered for your sheer intellect. You are the type of person that people turn to for deep and enriching conversations. You are always so interesting with the depth of your knowledge.

Your sheer creativity and artistic prowess are what makes you really stand out. As a Pisces, you are a very emotional creature.

But that’s a good thing because you always know how to channel your emotions into your creative exploits. You have the kind of creative energy that is rare to find in people these days.

You really know how to think outside of the box with your artistry and nonconventionality.

We All Have Psychopathic Traits, Based on Zodiac Sign

There are several different types of psychopaths and 20+ different psychopathic traits. Which traits you are predisposed to can be easily identified based on your zodiac sign.

Most people find that their zodiac sign can be a flashlight in the dark of their own personality, illuminating strengths that they did not know they had. Zodiac-led information is often eerily accurate, causing people to trust it more and more.

ARIES.
The psychopathic traits an Aries holds include fearlessness and at times, poor impulse control. The type of psychopath they are is the risk taking, thrill seeking psychopath, known for having poor impulse control and an impulsiveness that can be seen as fearlessness.

Aries psychopaths are driven by a need for adventure or excitement as their stimulation. Their true negativity lies in their unreliability and irresponsibility. For an introverted Aries, they are more prone to substance abuse.

Aries will draw you into their excitement world, but others will do best to stay engaged with the real world when being swept up.

TAURUS.
Driven by envy and self-indulgence, the psychopathic tendencies Taurus holds are a need to compensate for an engulfing emptiness.

They choose to fill that emptiness with the destruction of someone else’s life, as they take whatever they feel entitled to. The real downfall of a Taurus psychopath is that they will never be able to fill the void that plagues them.

Their greedy behavior is exacerbated by the fact that they know this, but a Taurus is known for being stubborn, and they press on anyway.

GEMINI.
Lying and seduction are the traits of the Gemini psychopath. Their psychopathic tendencies are those people are easily able to identify from afar.

They are excellent at deducing the wants and needs of other people through interaction and observation. They know how to compliment and flatter someone into giving them exactly what they want.

In many cases, the Gemini psychopath will eventually trip themselves up in the incredible number of lies they tell to get what they want.

CANCER.
The Cancer psychopath is known to be the soulmate type. They seem to be perfect for their target, fitting in with perfect compatibility and creating a vision of a perfect future.

Cancer psychopaths really seal the deal in relationships, working to fully snare their mate, then becoming the self-centered and possessive psychopath that a Cancer truly is.

The soulmate perfect conversations will cease to be fulfilling and only occur often enough to keep the embers alive and the Cancer in possession of the person they want.

LEO.
Leos are social climbing psychopaths who turn on the sparkle in public while terrorizing family and family friends in private. They exhibit the psychopathic traits of being brilliant while simultaneously, and in equal measure, being paranoid and suspicious.

They are vindictive and impulsive, willing to grasp and pull to climb higher, reaching for power methodically, but quickly. They always manage to have a scapegoat at hand, so people should be wary of Leos especially in a work environment.

VIRGO.
Psychopathic traits key to Virgos can be found in career fields full of academics like law, medicine, education and the scientific community.

They are the academic psychopaths who are willing to put in the time to get where they want to be, but others can and will wrap themselves in the vernacular of the profession they want and fake their credentials to get what they want.

They do not get mired down by getting caught, they just adjust and move onto the next job in the profession they want using a resume that is 50% lies. They have no regard for any destruction they cause.

LIBRA.
Libra’s are the would be Saint psychopaths with traits that include a sadistic, scheming brutality and an abusive and manipulative personality. Though they appear to have pristine morals, they simultaneously condemn everyone else as being immoral.

The rigidity of their belief that they have the moral high ground leads them to be controlling and corrupt without guilt.

Many Libra psychopaths end up working as police officers, religious leaders and even those knuckle-rapping nuns and corporal punishment using teachers.

SCORPIO.
Scorpios are the kind of psychopath that is sexually driven. They target whomever they want whenever they want without a need or concern for consent.

Scorpio psychopaths have been known to enjoy a wide-ranging enjoyment of nearly everything sexual. They are nearly impossible to interact with without being consumed as they are a dominating force that also derives pleasure from subjugation and power plays.

SAGITTARIUS.
A Sagittarius psychopath is also known as the used car salesman type of psychopath. They can draw anyone in with their sales pitch and carefully identify and work on their marks to make the sale.

They never do a quick “one and done” pitch either, they build a rapport with the person, convincing them they are trustworthy so they can expertly manipulate them into doing what they want. They do not feel remorse for their actions or the fallout they leave their victims with.

CAPRICORN.
Psychopathic traits exhibited by Capricorns are suspicious and guided by terror and vindictiveness. Capricorn psychopaths are terrified of being exposed and dangerous because they fear being caught and exposed for who they are.

They are masters of creating an optimal projection but fear being forced to have responsibility for anything they do a pin to them.

This fear applies to being found out for good or bad actions, they do not like being exposed. They are dangerous when vindicating themselves with extensive revenge plots full of cruelty when they are wronged.

AQUARIUS.
Antisocial psychopathic traits are held by the Aquarius. They refuse to obey the law or conform to social norms though they are happy to seek their own gains through conning and cheating others.

They are the masters of aliases, but incapable of planning for the future. They are terrifying as they can rationalize the hurt they cause other people and what they have done, but they continue to do so anyway.

PISCES.
Pisces is the artistic type of psychopath with traits that include amazing verbal skills while displaying an impressive knowledge of either history, art, culture or in many cases all three.

They appear to be charismatic, artistic, gifted and charming and stick to packs of creative type crowds to allow them to blend in.

This type of psychopath uses their artistic flair to get others to cater to them relentlessly while appearing to focus on a grand creation, making others happy to work for them.
