Welcome to Soul Talk for the Seekers podcast and channel. I'm Ashley Allen. And I'm Jacqueline Kaminsky. We're two intuitive soul sisters joined by synchronicity and spirit here to dig in. We want to invite you along on our journey where anything may come up, but if you consider yourself a seeker, you're in the right place. Welcome back, everyone. We're so happy to have you. Today's episode is all about one of our favorite topics, spirit guides. Don't you love it? I do. I, cause I, I'm obsessed and love spirit guides. I love working with them. I love everything about them. They're fun. Love it. I think that since starting this spiritual journey, it's been one of my favorite relationships to cultivate beyond what I knew before, you know, six, seven years ago, like one of the favorite, the favorite things to tap into. I could not agree more. I'm, I would say my Akashic Records, that's my number one, and my Spirit Guides are literally right there. Like, I agreed, it is so much fun. Well, and I love, and we'll get into this, how they can work with the other things, like the Akashic Records, and, and like your inner wisdom, how they can work with these things. But today it's all about Spirit Guides. So let's start. by talking about what in the heck is a spirit guide. And, um, you may, you may already work with spirit guides. You may, you know, know who your spirit guides are. Um, when it comes to a spirit guide, these are souls that are not in the physical form here. As if you think about having a special teams, you know, But for your soul and your spirit, that's how I think about our spirit guides, where everyone is assigned a role. You might have a spirit guide specifically for your love life. You might have one for your relationships, one for your career, one for, um, your passions. And it really, it's different for everyone. And some people have lots of spirit guides. Some have a small team, but. You know, more isn't better. It really is all about how you're working with them. Whether you call on having more assistance. I think that's huge. And we'll talk about that today. Um, and we'll talk about how you can interact with them because I think that's such a big question is how do I maximize this relationship? How do I make it more than maybe it is today? And I think you and I both have, I mean, we've certainly cultivated relationships with our guides in different ways. I've even been able to tell when one has tapped out, another one has tapped in. So we'll get into that too, because while today, let's say, and I'm going to use this as an example, let's say you have five, you could have a big change in your life. And. Somebody will, one of your guides can say, all right, well, I have met my, my mission with you, right? Mission accomplished. And they might tap out because you have a new need now because mission accomplished. So we'll, we'll get into that, but why don't we start with how to begin this relationship. Do we wanna talk about that or do we wanna just mention like forms?'cause I know that's a big thing that I always get questions on are like the different types of spirit guides all the time. All the time, right? Like,'cause that's like such a thing and, and it can be everything and anything quite honestly, from right ancestors to angels. And when I say angels, I mean regular angels and Archie. Archangels, animal spirits, ascended masters, like your loved ones. It can literally be and be so many all of that in so many forms. And I feel like that's such a thing that people are always like, Oh, well that can't be this because it's labeled as this. Right. And it's like, let's lose the labels, lose the labels. That's something that we created. I completely agree with you. You know, something and do you hear this too, that, um, Oh, I've been told that my loved ones can't be spirit guides, but I have seen them as spirit guides for clients and for myself before. So do you, how do you feel about that? All the time I do. And it's funny cause that guide will come in. They're not presenting as a loved one, right? Cause it is. It's a different, it's just a different energy when they step in, um, when you're a loved one who's a guide versus like you're just stopping by like, hey. Hey, I need to tell you that my jewelry box is in the closet in the basement under the Christmas blanket. Yeah, totally different. That, right, like that's more mediumship esque versus like your loved ones a thousand percent can be your guides. Okay, so let's dig into that because I think there's some perimeters. Like, first of all, they have to sign up, right? Like, they don't just automatically become that. They, there has to be an, an, almost like a mutual ask where they like, no, I'm, I sign up for this. Frequency. And when I say frequency, that means that it can't be about them. It really does. It becomes them making it about you and your mission and your soul. Totally agree. And what I have seen prior to coming, right? Like seeing the in between lives, right? Like, let's just stop for a second and go there. What I have seen is we like almost I'm going to use the word higher. Because I don't have another word for it, even though it's not. But I love that word because it's so accurate. I mean, that's how I associate it to us. So I love that. We hire them, right? Like, so before we come here, we have picked, hand picked, our soul handpicked them to join us on this journey. Um, and I think that is such like a big thing. And the, if you don't ask them to come in, they're not going to work with you. And then a lot of them will go away because they don't have a role to play. If you're not right, it's, it's kind of like that whole life path, right? Like if you're here and you're following, I can tell you the, I have a football field of guides. Now, literally, that's the way I see it. Cause there are so many, but I use them for so many different things. And I have a guide for every single specific thing. I love it because, because we were talking about special teams and like, it's literally what it is. It's copying your special teams. Yeah. It's interesting that we bring things back to football all the time. Who would. Well, it's funny because that, but that's the way since day one, I'd be like, wow, I have like a, like, it would just, cause that was how it showed me. It was like a football field, like just full of guys and I'd be like, whoa, that's the way I see it. That's the only reason. It's funny that you see it that way because that's how I see it too. So while I'm not a huge football fan, I'm like a fair weather football fan, chiefs fan for the record. Um, and yeah, well, I mean, sorry about, sorry about that. Listen, um, we're, we're going to kick ass this year. We say this every year at that, you know, but whatever, that's nonetheless. And I only love the Jets because of my son. And right. Yeah. I mean, I'm from Kansas city, so of course I love the Chiefs. So that's where it comes from. But no, I love that. That's the, I think it's a great, it's such a great example for so many ways that your, um, spiritual self can come into play with all that you have before you. Because when you think of football, there are so many elements that make it what it is. And that is 1000 percent how it feels when you're working with so many different guides, but you have to ask them in. It's a relationship you're building and it's like setting the intention of wanting to work with them. And my favorite way, when I first started was just like saying good morning to them and being like, come close. I'm like asking like, what messages do you have for me? And it was like knowing that. Right. We're going to bring the kind of like the Claire's and your intuition back in because when they speak to you, it's subtle. Right. It's energetic. It's subtle. You're not going to get bam in your face, a full fledged conversation. You're going to receive it in a much right. It's very similar to your Claire's. Not that you can't receive it that way, but that's, I think the less likely. Experience. You can totally depending upon, I mean, I I've been in a meditative state before where that has been very much what it has been, but that's not the norm. It's not happening all the time to your point. It's subtle. And I love that you said it's like those subtleties that sort of flow through your day. Right. And it could be right. It's like, but it's also kind of coming through. However, your strongest way is mine is very much a conversation, but again, my Claire. Um, so for me, that's, but so it is, it is very, and you can have, I will agree with you. You can have full fledged, but for me, it's like that's happened through breath work for me, right? Like where it's like full fledged conversations. They're actually the ones who told me all about my lungs. Um, that was how I discovered, right, my, like, when I was diagnosed with emphysema, which is now healed. But I, that's how I found out was from my guides telling me while I was doing breath work. So I feel like they are one of their biggest, the biggest strengths in working with your guys is that when you truly are missing something. But you're looking in some way. They're the ones that are like, okay, no, we're gonna, if you're looking this way, you need to be looking this way right now. Right, because we have free will, right? So, like, free will all day, every day. But if we're asking, they will absolutely assist us and help us. And jump right in. Always. Always. You know, okay, I'm done. I want, I know everybody wants to hear this. Or at least I want to hear this. What was your first, like, guide? What was the first guide? Who was the first guide that you established a relationship with? Can you walk through what that looked like and who it was? So, my first guide that I established a relationship with was my lion. So, right. And it's so, and, and so let's, it was an animal, right? But also let's just let go of, they don't have to look like any certain thing. And it could literally be a ball of light. I just want to throw that out there. Cause I've seen that as well. So mine happened to be a lion and every single time I was closing my eyes. I would like his face would come in and that was how which is interesting because again the girl who doesn't see or at the time like I didn't realize like the more and more I did it but he would come in and come in and come in and it was just like this comfort. Like, I can't, like, it felt like home, um, and I would, and I remember it, I used to just go into meditative, like, when I first started, I would see him and I would then call him in and we would, like, just go sit by water and, like, I would just, like, snuggle into him and just be, which is so interesting, but that is literally how I started my relationship with him and it took a little while for me because I didn't realize that it was my guide. I was like, why do Seeing, right? Like in the very beginning I was like, what is this lion that keeps showing? What's the purpose? Why are you here? Right? I was like, why? What is it? Right. Like in my, and I didn't realize, like, I don't even know that at the time I realized that that could even be a guide. Um, and that, that's when I was like, oh, wait a minute. And then I just kept like trusting. And it was like, once I was with him, stuff just kind of unfolded and I was like, oh, like he is, like, I felt very safe with him. And I think he was what started my whole journey. That and I felt In my natural, when I was doing mediumship, this was actually the other thing. So I had that. And then I had, I have two guides that stand on either side of me. And it was very interesting. And I knew that when I had first started and it was almost like they protect who's allowed in my energy field and who's not. And so I've noticed that when working with, like, I. Let's name that, like, when we were in Mediumship, I could feel, it's funny, we both could feel that protective, like, almost like the bodyguards, right? And they, they are, like, that's how they feel. They very much feel like bodyguards who are there standing on either side of me. And so, like, Lower vibrational energy was never really allowed in my field when I was doing mediumship, which I thought was so interesting. And I was like, I don't see that. And I was like, Oh, and then I realized I'm like, Oh my God. So I could feel them. And they do when someone comes in that they don't trust. I will instantly feel both of them move up in front of me. And it's like, nope. And it's like, okay, what's here for me that am I supposed to be? And that's just because I built a relationship with them, right? I was like, okay, I completely trust you guys. When I feel you step in, I know I need to even really drop in and be like, what's going on in this situation right now? So that was like my first start of it. How about you? So mine was interesting because there was a point in time where I was in denial of it. So I've always had this really, which go figure. I feel like for me, I deny things always first before I accept them. It's like this denial period I go through. It's a part of my being, which is fine. Cause then when I accept it in, it's like, Oh, even better. Yeah. Uh, I've always had this relationship with mother Mary, since I was little, um, when I had scary things happen as a child, the, my relationship with mother Mary was what helps me move through that. So it only made sense that she would be my guardian would be my guide in, in training to this work. In fact, in the very beginning, when I first started doing mediumship, I had this rosary that was my signal to spirit that they could or could not communicate with me. Like if I don't have this rosary in my hands. It's a no guys, you can't come around and it worked. It worked before I started using that. It was like all access and they could, they were showing up whenever they wanted. But this became the sign and a signal until I realized I didn't need that physical thing, which was just a matter of building in practice. Right? Yeah. So mother Mary, but for a long time. I thought, well, that's a, that's a big figure. How would somebody she's got busy, she's busy. How could she ever be one of my guides? I thought for a while that maybe she was just somebody who popped in and out. It wasn't until I really, um, became regular in my practice with meditation that I noticed. I don't, I hardly ever have an experience where she's not there. Hardly ever. Yeah. And she actually, once I accepted her as a guide and said, okay, no, like I'm done with this. You're, I'm not worthy of you thing. Like. Yeah. We are aligned clearly. So come on in, you know, so if you feel this, um, unworthiness tied to, um, anything, any being that you feel like is your guide, put it aside, accept it. And if you're feeling it, just let it in because you're not seeing it for nothing. You're not experiencing it for nothing. I'll say that because I denied it for so long. Um, I thought she was just a helper. Why would you be on my team, you know? And you can, that's not saying, right? Like, you can call and add any one of, right, any one of them to your team at any time. Like, for me, I currently am working in, like, the galactic, more, like, I'm pulling more into, like, the galactic piece. Mm hmm. I'm calling in galactic guys from different, right, like, So like you can't even do that. So no, you can take it as far and make it as fun as you want with stuff like that. Well, and I think that's where that free will comes in. Like you get to decide what these relationships look like and you can negotiate with your guides. In fact, I started feeling called to Mary Magdalene. Very sure. I mean, she's. She kind of had, now she comes in hand in hand with, so the Mary's are my girls. Like they're my, they're always present for me. Um, it's like ally with me. It's like, what? Yes, it's ally with me. Yeah. I'm such a ally energy. Yeah. Um, but I wanna go somewhere with this that I find just so common when people are exploring their guides. I wanted to know more. I wanted to know, what do you look like? What do you, and so I went to somebody who did, um, spirit guide readings specifically, and she explained this guide to me, um, but didn't give a name. And I thought, Oh, well, she didn't give the name. Like, so I started going into meditation and I started seeing more and more and more and asking for more, but then I realized something. And I think it's hard to get to this point sometimes. And I struggled with it. Um, our guides. They all don't carry these physical forms that we dream up for them. If we want them to have these physical forms, they can have them, but that's not how they necessarily identify. So when you're asking, is it male or female? You could have a guide that doesn't associate with gender at all. You could have a guide that doesn't associate with human form. Like to your point, I love that yours is a line because. The form can be in anything. And you referenced this earlier, Jack, when you said, you know, it could be a ball of light, but so we get so bothered by wanting to know our whole team. I stopped worrying about it. I, I know I've got a lot of, a lot of guides and I, but I'm not going to sit there and line them up and be like, here's them all, I just called in the support as I need it now. And I, I don't get messed up and mixed up in knowing every detail because. That's a human request. That's not how they even identify necessarily. A thousand percent. I can say this, but I do do what I used to do and I don't now, um, because I don't really care about a name, right? And so names don't exist because they don't exist on the other side. However, if your human needs a name, make one up because they don't care. And so like, that was one of the things that I did do when I first started. And I actually have released all names, but like, I think when I first started, I kind of like did attach a name to it more just. Or my human, but what I used to do right to like feel their energy was and I totally invite everybody right listening to go ahead and try this would be where I would close my eyes, obviously just take some like deep breaths and like kind of just recent or yourself and then I would ask right like a specific guide. To step into my fields to see how I would feel them Um what they felt like in my energy field and I would do it a few times I would say step out step in step out step in and then I would name them and be like, okay I'm gonna call you this because that's what I want to call you and they don't care And then I would be like, okay now i've learned your energy. Let's move you over here Now I want a new guide. So that was like a good way for me when I first started to see like, okay Who Feels right. Like who, who feels like, what, how do they feel? How will I know? So that later when something's going on too, when I feel them step in, I was like, okay, I know this. Or if it was somebody new that stepped in, I'd be like, Oh, somebody new is here. You can tell you totally count. Yeah. I know that I've had some new ones step in just in the last couple of months and I can do that. Um, and, and you know what I love and I would challenge everyone to do this. If you're feeling like there's a part of you that's missing, a part of you that you don't understand, a part of you that doesn't know what to do next in your life, it is the perfect opportunity to invite in your guides. And, and like Jack said, you, I love how you said you wait for, to feel them in and out. So take charge of the Claire that you feel strongest with, just like you said. And it may be that you're asking, you're asking for that sense to be the one that gets ignited and ask for them just to step in. And you may get flashes. And again, it's not necessarily going to be a big boom, but the fact that you asked means you are going to get the help. And just keep asking, right? Like, don't stop asking because it is a relationship you're building. So as you're building that relationship, just, and another thing that I did too, when I first started was I used to talk to them out loud. And just as if they were responding and it like I just made it fun, right? Like I kind of released attachment to all of it and made it fun. I will tell you this Do you want to know how I really secured my relationship with them was through trans mediumship? Because while I wasn't normally visual They would step through my body and I would look I remember like the first time this ever happened to me I would look down at my feet and I'd be like, oh fuck they're not mine and then I would notice that like You I would kind of be pulled back like a, I used to feel like a squashed dead cat, but that's nonetheless, um, it's true. It's true. Only in the beginning. Um, and then it was, but that was how I met so many of my guides. And I was able to see them right as somebody who wasn't like really visual in that. That was truly how I really learned so much more about them. So if that's something that you ever want to do, that was the fastest, quickest way that I was able to know their personalities, know how they were feeling, thinking. Like, when we were merged, I was like, oh, fuck, wow. And so, yeah. That also, that I, I find that with, with this, whatever you find yourself either interested in or intrigued by or nervous about, it, it usually is a good indicator that it's something to explore. I've never been drawn to trans mediumship myself, and not because I was scared even, like, it's not even a fear. Um, that was why I did it. Yeah, while you were in trans mediumship, I was studying feng shui and energy in the physical form. So it's funny because we were, you know what I realized? We were both studying energy that moves into a physical form. Yeah. With yours, it was through spirit, like spiritual frequency. Mine is spiritual, yeah. And then with mine, it was the spiritual frequency of actual objects. So that's so interesting. I never thought about that until just now, how we were doing these completely opposite things, but yet there was this. Common thread. There's always one. There's always one. So, okay. So what, what else about, um, spirit guides? I know we're, we're kind of coming to the end of our time. What are the, the kind of the final thoughts that we want to move forward here? I would say practice some other really great tips like that. I would love to throw out there that I used to do too. Like journaling. I used to write a quick, if I needed, right? Like, so, but say meditation is in your jam. That's great. Setting the intention through journaling, right? Like even writing at the top of like your paper, right? Like pull your journal out or your phone, right? Like writing out, like maybe a question that you need clarity, calling in your guide and being like, okay, right. Like let's do this and just start writing and keep writing whatever's there. And I guarantee you're going to see wisdom in that. You will. Um, absolutely. Well, even if you don't feel practice in this, Yeah. Jack, do you remember that time that we did that and we've done it, we've done it several times, but grab a friend if you're, if you're questioning it and you just need to bounce it off, do it for each other, do it for yourselves and maybe just take 30 minutes together to do it, to make it an experience that you can really enjoy. Because that some of my best, like some of my best wisdom from when I first started was when you and I were just practicing, trying out where we got, where we got the messages. Yeah. Yeah. Oh my. So much so. The other one too is if you're somebody who is clairvoyant and vision is your thing, is like setting the intention before you go to bed to write, meet with your guides or, um, allow them to come through with messages, right? And so a lot of that too, um, can come through that way as well. If that can come in your dreams for sure. It can definitely. I will say my most. The most listened to most, most utilized meditation that I have. And that I, I have different versions of it, but the most I did, the most listened to for sure is the, um, meditation that I've got that connects people to their spirit guides. And to this day, I still myself, um, while I don't necessarily have to listen to the guide guided part of it anymore, go through that process, because, um, there's always someone new to me and you then open up and create an invitation for. The connection for the messaging, for the communication and for, for anything that you need to know. But again, if you feel like something's missing right now, or there's a question you have, it's a great chance. for you to call upon a new guide or one that maybe you just aren't familiar with yet. Yeah. Yeah. No, I, I do. I love that. And absolutely. I know that sometimes they'll give messages that you're not. So I don't think I shared this, but my absolute favorite thing to do. And I do this in every single one of my sessions, right. Where we go when I take everybody on my align journeys and we go through like the breathwork is I'll always say to our guides, if you're sharing a message that we are not understanding. It is their job to find another way. We are the human. They write our spirit. They can manipulate the energy to make sure that we find out and get it right. Like, so I'm like, it's their job. So that has been probably the best thing. Is that when I released how it had to come through and I was like, I know that one way or another it's going to come through. And the other thing is if you happen to be clairaudient and you have that loud ringing in your ear and you know that it's them trying to communicate with you, you tell them to turn down the dial, turn the frequency down because it's a frequency, right? So that you can hear what's being shared or feel or say, I'm not understanding. Okay. Give me through another way, right? Like make it, make me feel it. Make me know. So that's another tip there too. I have one more before we close. We forget sometimes, or we just don't, if it's new and in your communication, we don't, we just don't know this yet. You can negotiate with your guides. So their job as your guide is to help you with your soul path, but you're the one with the free will that can shift gears. So if you want to experience something differently than you're experiencing it, and you can feel them guiding you a certain way, you can say, look, I get that this is a part of my experience. And you can negotiate them and say, I want this to happen differently. So I need you to work with me so we can have this happen differently. And I'll give a quick example. And then I know, um, we can kind of wrap here, but. Let's say you are looking for a new relationship and you're seeing it via these, you're seeing these, having these terrible experiences on, on apps, for example. And you can say to your guides, Hey, I have been utilizing and trying to meet somebody this way. I get that you're, you're, I'm feeling the push this way, but I'm asking for you to present the right person in a different form for me. You can do that. You can do that. So you can negotiate with them just like you can with, just like you could with a person. Oh yeah, it really is a full fledged relationship. And the more you deepen and strengthen that relationship, the more presence you will have with them in your life. And it's beautiful when you have it because then you can't not help but feel them. All the time. You were never alone. And I don't mean that in a bad way. Not in a creepy way. Not in a, we're never alone. In like a weird creepy way. I mean, the best way possible ever. I didn't see it creepy until you said, suggested it, but now I think it's kind of fun to say it that way. So. I felt like I should just say that. So, uh, yes, but really thank you guys so much for joining us today, chatting all about guides. Really remember just setting the intention, trusting your process, and most importantly, have fun.
