Readers, please enjoy this guest blog post by Dawn McLaughlin, author of Everyday Reiki and the new Spirit Allies & Healing Guides.

You may be familiar with the concept of spirit guides, our allies in the spiritual realms or alternate planes of existence who help us along our life path by providing support, guidance, protection, encouragement, and assist us with our personal healing. But do you know about the other types of divine assistance available to you? Below is a sampling of these heavenly beings who are ready, willing, and able to help you achieve your goals, provide support during challenging times, and assist with your personal evolution.

  1. Angels and archangels are beings of pure, conscious energy who have never been incarnate as human beings, with two exceptions: Archangel Metatron and Archangel Sandalphon. Angels and Archangels have specific spheres of influence and can act as intermediaries between humans and the Creator/God/Goddess/Supreme Being.
  2. Deities are divine beings with powers beyond the ability of ordinary people. Ancient texts are filled with stories of deities interacting with humans. Across the globe, religions have been formed to worship a particular deity or group of deities.
  3. Our ancestors are powerful spirits who can assist us along our life path. In addition to those who are directly related to us through our bloodlines, we also have access to the ancestors of the land on which we live and the ancestors of our spiritual or religious lineage.
  4. Ascended Masters are enlightened beings in the spirit world who were once incarnated as humans and have the mission of promoting the spiritual development of the planet. Ascended Masters are willing to assist anyone who contacts them for help, guidance, inspiration, and insights for healing and personal growth.
  5. Saints are recognized by many religions, including Catholicism, as individuals who have lived their lives dedicated to the divine and often experienced extreme hardships during their earthly lifetimes. Regardless of your faith or spiritual background, saints can be an excellent source of inspiration and comfort.
  6. Animal Spirit Helpers are not the spirit of individual animals but instead represent the intrinsic nature of the animal. Each animal spirit helper has its own abilities and expertise.

Exploring the array of spiritual allies available to you can be an extraordinary journey into the world of divine support, healing, and personal growth. Experiment with working with different guides and track your progress in a journal. Take your time with this process, and reap the rewards of progress along your life path and a stronger connection to the Divine.
