Your Higher Self
Your Guardian
Angels
Messages or Signs
from animals or nature
Your Spirit Guides
That part of you that has a
broader perspective than
what you can see from the
trenches. Its that part of
you that remembers why
you came here, and it under-
stands the reasons behind the
lessons that youre exploring.
The beings who are assigned to
help you along your path. Like
your higher self, they also know
the big picture of what you want
to do & experience, and they
have the vantage point to see
how to make that happen.
Yes, everyone has them (even
you!) and no, they dont really
have wings. Guardian angels
usually have more of a protec-
tive role, but they can give you
guidance as well.
Your guides & angels can
also communicate through
signs, eg. a song on the radio,
an overheard conversation, a
book jumping out at you from
a shelf, a physical object that
appears in your path, etc.
