A perfect system of love
The most important thing I want to share with anyone who has stumbled across this page is that you are unconditionally loved by Spirit. Here on the planet, we can liken it to a parent who loves their child “no matter what.” The love of Spirit is all-encompassing, as it is clear of any human bias; in fact, they always see you as you truly are, which is a perfect piece of the Divine. You came from this love, you go back to this love – you are this love – always, no matter what. You also have access to an abundance of help from this love while you are here on the planet. In fact, it cannot wait for you to call on it and bring it in!
No matter who you are, what you are going through, or what your life has looked like up until this moment, know that help is always available to you from Spirit and that you always deserve this help. Every single person on the planet has a Soul and is connected to this wealth of assistance. You don’t need to do anything or buy anything or change anything in order to receive this help – it is always with you and you always deserve it.
Why help from Spirit is special + different than any other help
Spirit (including your own Higher Self) has full awareness of your past, present, and potential futures, as well as everything that is going on all over the planet, galaxy, and beyond. It knows what you came here to do and what you are meant to work on or let go of in this lifetime. You even planned for this lifetime while you were in spirit form with other souls! This means it can work with you in ways that you cannot even imagine, always for your highest good. However, because we have free will while we are here on the planet, we do need to ask and give permission for this help while we are here.
Giving permission to receive
Earth is a planet of free will. This means we have the free will to co-create with Spirit, or to not co-create with Spirit. Therefore, in order to receive assistance from Spirit, we must first give permission for Spirit to help us. The following section includes detailed practices for how we can give our Spirit Team permission to work with us and help us in various situations.
Practices for calling in your Spirit Team
Knowing you are loved
In terms of calling in your Spirit Team, it can be a great start to just know that you are loved, to really feel it in your body and heart. Sitting there and just remembering how much you are not alone in all of this, that you have loving energies all around you that want you to know how much you are indeed so very loved.
This “team of love” includes, but is not limited to: spirit guides, angels, loved ones who have passed (including beloved pets!), ancestors, ascended masters, your own Higher Self, and more. I do want to stress that we, ourselves, are part of our own Spirit Team – our Higher Self, our Soul, our own past lives as guides, our multidimensional aspects, aspects who have ascended on other planets… these are all parts of our guide set.
Stating your intent to receive help from your Spirit Team
Although you can certainly call on individual aspects of your Spirit Team (ie; your Higher Self, a specific loved one who has passed, an ascended master such as Buddha or Jesus that you feel connected to, etc.), I am going to start us off with just some simple statements of intent you can use to call in your Spirit Team as a whole, as really they are all working together behind the scenes for your highest good. Spirit knows exactly what we need when we need it, and often we as humans limit them or make it more complicated than it needs to be. Thus, to start us off, I will simply be using the terms “Spirit” or “Spirit Team.”
When you state your intent, I find the most powerful way to do it is:
- Out loud using your voice
- Every day or several times a day
- When you realize you are slipping into imbalance and want to reset
Let’s start with a very simple statement of intent that I have been utilizing over the past few weeks for myself:
- “Dear Spirit, I give permission for you to help me throughout the day in a way that is loving, gentle, safe, appropriate and comfortable.”
So you might ask, “Why do I need to state that it be comfortable or safe? Wouldn’t that just be a given?” Yes, it is a given! However, I have found that we as humans get uncomfortable sometimes with the benevolent changes that are taking place behind the scenes (I have certainly experienced this personally!). Often, there will be changes that are for our highest good but make us feel uncomfortable or fearful. This can be for many reasons, namely because we have simply gotten used to the status quo and our brains tend to fear anything new or different.
By stating up front that you intend to receive this help in a comfortable and gentle way sets the intent to receive it in this way. There is no need to worry about the help from Spirit ever being inappropriate – this is mostly for us to practice getting comfortable with the changes, exercising our empowerment and intention, and also getting our field ready to receive incoming information in the way we have stated (gentle, safe, comfortable).
To more easily integrate the assistance you receive, you may also like to add after your initial statement of intent:
- “Allow me to integrate this assistance with grace, ease and peaceful understanding.”
Using intent and affirmational language
You might wonder why I used a statement of intent rather than “asking” for help. We are powerful beings and therefore our own innate power is part of this whole equation. Stating affirmations, for example, or taking vibrational elixirs or creating an intention or a portal can help us direct our energy, work with Spirit, and manifest our intentions. It is important to remember that Spirit is not separate from us – we are Spirit choosing to have a human experience. Therefore, we have the power to co-create with Spirit. So there are many ways to give permission for Spirit to assist you and for you to work powerfully with Spirit using intention, affirmation and more.
I’d like to clarify that we do always receive a base level of help and communication from Spirit through knockings at the door, messages in dreams or songs in our head, and our Soul and Higher Self do “push” us in certain directions. The kind of expanded help I am talking about is where we give overt permission for Spirit to bring us assistance that is very clear and palpable. Basically, this goes beyond the default level and moves into actively working with and co-creating with Spirit.
Other ways of calling in your Spirit Team
- A simple statement of intent when pondering a change or situation:
- “I allow Spirit to bring me the most benevolent outcome.” And then sit back and allow it to manifest!
- A morning invitation to your Spirit Team:
- “I invite my Spirit Team to walk with me in love throughout the day and to assist me in whatever is for my highest good.”
- Before a difficult meeting or circumstance is about to occur involving other people:
- This one I tend to phrase more as an “ask” as on some level there are other people’s higher selves involved, but you can also always intend for the most benevolent outcome:
- “I am asking for the most benevolent outcome for everyone involved. I intend for the entire situation to be bathed in divine love and for everything to be resolved peacefully and in accordance with all of our highest goods.”
- I find it helps in this situation to feel, sense and imagine this positive outcome having already happened and to cultivate a sense of real love and compassion before it’s about to occur.
- This one I tend to phrase more as an “ask” as on some level there are other people’s higher selves involved, but you can also always intend for the most benevolent outcome:
- Whenever I step into a car, whether I am driving or someone else is driving, I will silently repeat this type of affirmation to myself:
- “I intend for this car to be bathed in the divine light of protection. I am asking Spirit (including our higher selves) to allow us all to arrive safe and sound at our destination.”
- I also imagine the car being bathed in a white golden light of love and feel into its protective qualities.
- If you feel drawn to a certain spiritual master or guide, you can ask them to assist you. Examples include:
- Asking Jesus to bring you the qualities of peace and compassion.
- Asking the Buddha to bring you the qualities of mindfulness and calm.
- If you were close to a loved one who has passed, you can call on them in any way you see fit. Remembering that their soul and higher self is always on the other side and loves you unconditionally can help facilitate this.
- If you know you have specific ancestry (in my case, I have Irish Celtic roots), you can ask for them to come in and make known to you any ancestral gifts or things to be cleared away. This is a beautiful way to touch the ancient past that is very much alive in you right now.
- There are many channellers who channel Spirit and have beautiful channels to help guide and connect you to the other side, such as Kryon. You can connect with them on your own and ask them to bring you the energies of mastery, joy, peace or whatever other qualities you wish to cultivate. You can intend for it to be for your highest good and for it to be comfortable and gentle.
- You can also receive energies and assistance through angelic attunements and meditations where you connect to Spirit directly through guided visualizations. It helps for you to still make a statement of intent (that you give permission to receive benevolent spiritual assistance) before or during these experiences.
These are just some extra ways to connect with Spirit, but simply stating that you give permission for Spirit to help you out on a daily basis is really all you need to get started, and covers so much. Feel free to change or alter any of the statements in ways that resonate the most for you!
How help is received
As long as you give Spirit permission to work with you from a place of pure intent, you are guaranteed to receive assistance in whatever way is the most benevolent for you. Big fireworks may not go right off (though an instant, palpable response can and does happen!) but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. Behind the scenes, much is taking place. Like the process of taking flower essences, the shifts typically happen gradually over time. The key is to trust and know that you are being given the energies you need for your highest good, regardless of whether you feel anything instantly. Spirit is always there waiting for you to call in the help that is your birthright and so there needn’t be any concern about whether or not it’s actually happening (because it is!).
You may receive answers in a variety of ways as Spirit works with you. Some replies come in the below forms, though it’s important to know that everyone is unique and receives information and energetic assistance in different ways.
Several ways in which assistance from Spirit is commonly felt or received:
- Signs and synchronicities
- An example of this would be your eyes being drawn to repeating numbers, words or objects in your environment. This is often a big YES that Spirit is trying to communicate with you!
- Messages or feelings in dreams
- This can come as an overt symbol or message, or simply a feeling of love, safety or being “held” in your dreams
- You may have a dream that is more vivid and/or contains profound information for you
- Sometimes I wake up with a strong feeling or symbol from a dream that I know is a message even if I can’t remember the details
- Insights, personal revelation and “a-ha!” moments
- This is how I often receive help from Spirit because I find it is a nice gradual way to receive information and integrate the shifts.
- It provides a sense of clarity and relief that allows you to “see” more clearly whatever it is that is needing to be seen.
- Direct communication through your “clair” senses: internal seeing, hearing, sensing, feeling, tasting, smelling or knowing
- This can include such events as catching a whiff of lavender that isn’t physically in the room, or waking up with a word repeating in your mind.
- It can be very subtle such as a song you weren’t listening to suddenly being “in your head.” This was one of my earliest signs and I still get it all the time!
- Spirit will communicate to you in a way you can understand and everyone is different. For example, sometimes I get my answers in terms of names of flower essences, because that is something I practice and study. This has become such a great way for me to receive answers that sometimes I specifically ask for the information to come through this way.
- A sense of being supported and shifting over time
- A common result for me is nothing so obvious at first, but will find myself gradually shifting in energy, perception and thought throughout the days and weeks with repeated practice of calling them in each day.
Spirit will never interfere with what you are here to learn, but they can help you realize things and shift your energy so that you can move through whatever you have chosen to go through in a more clear, peaceful and benevolent way. You may also receive whole solutions! You can give permission to your Spirit Team to heal or shift your energy so that anything that is not meant for you can slide off and make room for new. Through working with Spirit, you can also receive incredible remembrances, healings and amazing gifts!
Challenges serve a function in terms of helping us to learn and grow. However, we are able to use our spiritual guidance and intuition to move around any obstacles that do not serve us. If we are in the midst of a challenge, Spirit can provide us with clarity and openness to the experience, or give us the energy of understanding and learning. Even though challenges are, well, challenging, I often find myself glad at the end of some adversity because I have asked for clarity or received insights as to why I needed to have a certain experience. For me, this often comes as “a-ha” moments or insights. Sometimes, this will come in a dream that clearly shows my current pattern or emotion that I am being guided to shift.
This understanding that learning and growth is the outcome of such challenges can help us step out of feeling like a victim and recognize the purpose that comes from various situations. By working with your Spirit Team and listening for the signs, messages and more, you can continue to hone your intuition and awareness so that certain situations can either be avoided or learned from.
An example for me would be getting triggered during a work meeting that may lead to an unpleasant outcome (awkwardness, guilt, etc.). The experience, if learned from, can teach us about what we are doing to create these situations. We learn and grow by working through our traumas, issues and triggers. An example of how Spirit may work with us on this would be gaining a sudden or gradual insight into one’s own patterns that cause unpleasant life situations. This may feel uncomfortable at first when you begin to realize a pattern that had previously been in the shadows, but it is ultimately a gift to have the insight as it allows us to work on whatever is trying to be healed.
So Spirit will work with you once you give intent, and the ways in which we receive this most benevolent and loving assistance is as varied as we are! But you can rest assured that once you give intent to receive assistance from your Spirit Team, they will start working with you right away, even if you don’t overtly see or feel it. 😇
Seeing results in your actual life
Through working with Spirit, I have experienced magical synchronicities, help with my body’s healing, access to new ideas, deep soul memories and more. Oftentimes a broad request is actually better than a narrow one, as Spirit can bring you ideas, circumstances, and awareness that you had not thought possible! Although it doesn’t hurt to also state your literal desired outcomes (if you have them) and then add “or something better!” at the end.
