\u201c\u2018Let Your Spirit Guides Speak\u2019 is a book about what it means to live a life that\u2019s divinely guided by direct experience with Spirit,\u201d written by author <\/span>Debra Landwehr Engle<\/span><\/span>. In it, she shares what she\u2019s \u201clearned about developing a collaborative relationship with guidance and the practical steps you can take to deepen your connection to a conscious, co-creative conversation.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some people call these helpers spirit guides, others refer to them as angels, God, and light beings, in addition to entities with other names.<\/span> Guides can take many forms, including a Native American grandmother, gender-neutral beings, angels, a totem animal, and entities with vibrations so high they have no defined shape or personality. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe each have one or more guides who have been with us since before we were born. They\u2019re our team and they\u2019re with us constantly,\u201d <\/span>Engle<\/span><\/span> states. Most people are not taking advantage of this vast resource of spiritual help available, which is why she said she wrote the book. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Guides are messengers of the light and always represent love. Many have experienced lifetimes in physical bodies and know the challenges of being human. <\/span>Engle<\/span><\/span> encourages readers to build a relationship with guides as you would a grandparent or a former teacher, working with them to develop a method of communication and trust. She cautions that ego will try to sabotage you again and again to keep you from stepping into your authentic power. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Some people can see their guides, others hear them or communicate through automatic writing. \u201cThe communication can be as simple as a symbol in nature, repeated patterns of numbers, flickering lights, a particular odor or fragrance, or an affirmative tingle when you hear something that just feels right,\u201d the book states.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Engle repeatedly stressed you are never alone, that you are never separate from a higher power and your guides are always with you. She gives examples from her own life and the lives of others, encouraging readers to take advantage of the support system spirit guides provide, making life easier and more enjoyable. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You just have to ask for help, and then listen. This book <\/span><\/span>explains how easy it is to meet your guides, form a relationship, discern the voice of ego, and trust the information you receive. <\/span>There is a chapter on how to incorporate working with guides throughout the day, with a list of helpful questions to ask. There is also a chapter on how to handle a spiritual blackout. Key lessons learned from her guides and tips for working with yours complete the book. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cLet Your Spirit Guides Speak\u201d won a silver Nautilus Award recognizing books that build a better world. Ninety-one percent of the forty-three people who left reviews on Amazon gave the book five out of five stars.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

While at times material seemed a bit repetitive, I found this practical introduction to be exactly what I needed to rekindle communication with some of my guides.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
