My Favourite Daily Practice to Get Support from Your Spirit Guides.

My 5-minute daily practice for connecting with your Spirit Guides and feeling supported, lucky, and in-flow every day.

When I first shared this practice as a podcast episode, I had just been on a trip to an island near Bali (where I was living), and I had so many examples of how this practice worked. I would connect with my Spirit Guides each morning, and ask for what I wanted to happen that day - from seeing the exact sea animals I asked to see snorkelling (manta rays and turtles), to things like finding the most perfect accommodation … and it all happened! Still to this day, whenever I have special occasions, trips, or events - I will always turn to this practice, and I always get blown away by the power of it.

But I also use this practice in my normal day-to-day life. Whether it’s asking for quiet roads on a drive somewhere, the perfect parking space, to be sat next to the most aligned humans on a plane, to getting the best table at a restaurant, or the most support and perfect outcome with some sort of day-to-day challenge. Now, obviously there is so much awe and magic when big things happen that you know were undeniably divine support, but I feel your life actually changes when you feel that deep support in just your normal everyday life.

I genuinely used to feel so unlucky. I would be that person that if something could go wrong - it did. And so, I have seen firsthand the power of this work and this practice specifically. Back then, I had the belief that things always went wrong for me - and I was shown it time and time again. Roll forward to today, and I genuinely believe the opposite. I feel SO lucky, so supported, so held, I feel so deeply that things are working out for me, and my life just continues to show this.

An example that happened just yesterday - I was running late to catch a train into London to see a friend. As I was walking (very quickly) to the station I said to my Guides - it would be so helpful if this train was just a minute late - that would be perfect … You know what I am about to say right? Yep - The train was delayed by one minute. Do you know how often I see that train delayed? NEVER! Because I always ask for my trains to be on time. The one time I asked, it was delivered. This is an example of how incredibly supported I feel in life, and as I just said, I have experienced the complete opposite reality … so when I say it works - I know it!

It’s not that life doesn’t necessarily have challenges - of course it does. But, with those challenges, I still feel so incredibly supported. Challenges are sorted easily and as effortlessly as possible, and I don’t get dysregulated and spiral like I once did.

And that is the magic of this work, right? To feel supported. To feel in flow. To feel more ease and peace. I know many of us get on this path to manifest big things, heal, or to feel purpose … and that is all great - but deep down, aren’t we all just really looking to feel supported, peaceful, aligned, and more in flow?

And what I love about this practice is it helps you feel exactly that, without having to spend hours on it. This practice can be done in MINUTES. Believe it or not, you don’t have to spend hours a day to shift things in your life. Of course, there are many practices that will give you back so much more than the time spent on them … but you don't have to do them all.

Whatever your intention with this spiritual path, it doesn't have to take over your life. Still, to this day, I get feedback on the podcast episode where I first shared this practice, and it's always along the lines of loving how accessible and easy it is to integrate into everyday life - and I love that! Many of my private clients are heavily into this field, fellow healers, intuitives, coaches or facilitators etc … but many are also in professional careers or busy elsewhere, and they’re just looking to feel better in their life alongside what they do. They don’t have hours to spend. And this practice is always one of the first I share.

So, getting into the practice now …

The concept of this practice is to set the intention each day of what you want to happen or feel. With this practice, YOU start directing your day and your energy. Many of us are actually already doing this, but in the opposite direction we want to go - this was what I was always doing without realising it. I would say “I hope I don’t get stuck in traffic”, or maybe more realistically - “I bet I am going to get stuck in traffic” - And then I was always proven right because without realising it, I was directing energy that way.

So many times we wake up in the morning and we have fear over what might happen. Fear of if things don’t happen, or what if XYZ happens instead? Without realising it, we're setting intentions in the direction we don't want to go. And if we aren't doing that? Energy is just going to flow with your subconscious patterns (meaning you will only keep receiving what you've received before). So, I know it sounds SO simple (and it is), but just the act of stating what you want consciously … really does have the ability to change the direction of your day and your life.

So the first layer of this practice, is to actually just ask for what you DO want. This is where the power is. I guess you could say this is a version of scripting, but with a slightly different spin on it.

Now, before I get into the specifics of how to ask, I want to add the second layer here - Your Spirit Team. You don’t HAVE to call in your Spirit team to do this practice each day, you can absolutely just set the intentions without them, and it is more than enough to get energy moving in that direction. But … I personally LOVE working with my Spirit Guides for this, and I know without a doubt, it adds even more potency to the practice.

We all have Spirit Guides, multiple Spirit Guides - nobody is an exception. Your Spirit Guides are here to support you, and more important - they WANT to help you. As a channel who works with Spirit Guides with my clients, the amount of times I hear guides say "remind them to use us, remind them that we are here to help them" - it comes through ALL the time. Our Guides have a lot of influence over our energy and the energy around us (with our permission), and so they really can support us with everything. If however, this doesn’t feel good for you, you can leave this part of the practice and just set your intentions directly … feel into what feels best for you and trust yourself!

Step one - Call your Spirit Guides in

I personally do love to just take a quiet seat for this practice even though you technically can do it anywhere. I love to take a few moments to get present, and ground into my body by taking a few deep breaths before I begin. If this is the first time you have invited your Guides in, I would suggest doing the same just so that you are aware and present enough to notice any subtle sensations that can come with that. I remember the first time feeling my Guides, and honestly it is something I will never forget - and something you want to be available and present for too!

Now, whether you choose to be seated or not, what you do need to do is give it your complete focus and attention. When it comes to working with energy and Spirit - it’s never actually your words but your energetic intention with them. If you’re distracted, doing five things at once, or just reading the words without meaning them - it is unlikely much energetic intention will be there.

So, here is what you can say to call in your Spirit Guides and give them permission to enter your space (you don’t have to say it exactly, but something similar is great):

“I am calling forward my Spirit Guides and Angels from the highest light, truth, and compassion only. Calling forward those that are here for my highest good and the highest good of all only. Thank you for being here with me now.”

You can also add ancestors, or passed loved ones, or any specific deities or ascended masters you would like to work with.

Once you have called them forward, I like to pause just to feel their presence first. You might just feel a shift in energy, subtle sensations around your head, you might feel cold or hot, or you might sense a presence around you. If you don’t feel anything - it doesn’t mean you don’t have Guides, did anything wrong, or can’t do this practice. For many of us, our sense to FEEL energy has been shut off for a long time. It can take time for this to strengthen again. The same way as building a muscle at the gym, the more you use it, the stronger it will become. Or, imagine you had never used your sense of smell, and all of a sudden you wanted to start using it … it would be so subtle to start with, and slowly it would get stronger and stronger. So it doesn’t mean you haven’t done it right. It just means your ability to FEEL it isn’t quite as strong yet and that is ok - it doesn’t change the outcome of the practice itself.

Step two - Setting your intentions

Then it is time to ask or set the intentions for what you want to happen or feel on this day. Now, there’s a few things to remember here …

The first is instead of saying “Please can I have a quick, easy journey to work today”, say “Thank you for a quick, easy journey to work today’” Saying “Thank you” completely changes the frequency of what you are asking, and is implying it is already done, it also helps us to actually visualise it as though it has already happened!

The second thing to remember is to ask for what you DO want, and not what you DON’T want.

So, using the journey to work as an example, instead of saying - “Thank you for no traffic”, you want to say “Thank you for a quick, easy, safe, enjoyable journey”. When you say the word traffic, or something else you don’t actually want - your mind automatically thinks of those things, changing the energy of your intention drastically. Ask for what you DO want always.

Obviously what you ask for here is depending on what you’re doing, and what the best possible outcome for you would be, but here are some common examples for just day to day things/travel:

“Thank you for an easy, quick, safe, enjoyable journey."

“Thank you for an enjoyable and successful meeting today, filled with connection, easy solutions, and regulation”

“Thank you for helping me feel calm, grounded, and regulated today”

“Thank you for helping me find the perfect parking space today”

“Thank you for my train/plane journey to be easeful, smooth, on-time, safe, and enjoyable”

“Thank you for today with my friends feeling fun, supportive, loving, and nourishing”

“Thank you for everything planned today being on time, in flow, and effortless. Thank you for everything unfolding perfectly”

“Thank you for surrounding me today with the most aligned people”

“Thank you for helping me stay focused, productive, and in-flow today”

“Thank you for a successful, abundant, and enjoyable meeting today, where everyone is feeling happy and aligned with the outcome”

For planes specifically I ask: “Thank you for an enjoyable, effortless, smooth journey. Everything is on-time and safe, and I trust I will be sat next to the most aligned people. If there is anyone that I am meant to support in some way - I trust that it will be effortless and easeful” - Since doing this, I have met multiple clients as well as just amazing humans on flights or at airports, and I have no doubt it is because of this!

For specific events or trips or meetings, get specific about what you want! What do you want the outcome to be? How do you want to feel? And what do you want the experience to be like? Ask away - get specific and aim for the best possible outcome.

Step three - Surrender it up

Once I have asked for what I want that day, I will then say (and this is also very important) - "Thank you for today being ultimately what is for my highest good and the highest good of all. I trust that I will receive what I have asked, or something SO much better.”

This bit is important because you don’t want any attached or needy energy towards what you are asking for. You want to feel like in some way you are handing it over. You can always ask for Spirit/The Universe for what you want, but you don't want to be NEEDING these things to happen, and you don't want to be clinging to them happening. There has to be an element of just trusting that “this is happening, or something even better for me and for my highest good”. You want to feel surrendered, and trust that you are so looked after by Spirit, your Guides, Angels, Higher Self, and Source, and trust that life is always working in favour of your highest outcome, and the highest of all those involved.

Step four - Listen to the guidance and the signs

Once you’ve called in your Spirit team and set your intentions - it is then up to you to notice the signs or guidance that might be leading and supporting you. As an example - when finding perfect accommodation, I always get shown a load of angel numbers in some capacity. Whether it’s a room number, a price, or something similar … I will always see some sort of sign and a sense of magic around it in some way. Signs and guidance can come in many ways …. whether it is angel numbers, some inspiration, or an idea to take certain action, a message coming through, a vision, or a strong pull towards something or away from something, or another sign that you associate with Spirit eg a feather or butterfly.

Your job here is to be on the look out, and when something feels like guidance - listen to it. This practice is a co-creation - you can ask, and they will listen, but if there are steps you need to take, or there’s a certain direction you need to go - they will be guiding you. There may not always be action you need to take, but trust if you are feeling pulled to do something at a certain time, there is a reason for it!

Taking it a step further

Ok, so, if you then want to take this to an even more divine level … we can get even more specific (and fun) with our Guides.

Now, I can’t take credit for this, this practice is actually from the book Hiring the Heavens - which is the CUTEST book ever. It is a tiny book, you can read it in a couple of hours …. but it really does inspire, and share some beautiful practices to implement with your Guides.

When it comes to your Spirit Guides, you have multiple. And some are with you for life, some are with you for seasons of your life, and some are there to support you with specific things - and you get to lean on this to amplify this morning practice.

So instead of just calling in your Spirit Guides, you can start to get more specific with who you are calling in. So if you were looking for support with your business that day, you could say “Thank you to my Guide or Guides that are here to support me in my business’s growth (or whatever you need support with). Thank you for bringing me the clarity, or the steps that I need to take towards growing my business”, or “thank you for showing me the opportunities for expanding my business”, or “Thank you for bringing me the perfect investor, or staff member, or project”. You get to almost act like you are employing certain Guides, to support you with certain tasks for that day or any period of time.

In the book - it is mentioned that when you do this, you can visualise sitting around a meeting table, giving each guide a specific task …. and I LOVE this! It is such a fun way to set daily intentions, and honestly … the more fun you have with it, the lighter your energy, and also your Guides LOVE it when you have fun!

You can also make it even more fun by giving them job titles … like for the business example I just used, you could refer to this guide as your celestial Business partner, coach, assistant or director. If you need support with home, accommodation or living, you can call this Guide your celestial estate agent, or realtor! If you are looking for support with travel - your celestial travel partner, or with relationship support - call in your celestial matchmaker, or celestial therapist … you hopefully get the idea here! You can play, have fun, be creative … as I said, our Guides love this energy from us!

Seeing your Guides this way, as a support system and a team, really does help to feel even more supported, loved, held, and just like you’re really not alone on this journey called life (because you’re really not). You are a part of a team, you have unconditional love and unlimited support available, and you deserve to feel that every single day …. so why not start each day having a team meeting in your mind - going through what you want to happen each day, and allocating each thing to a specific guide? This ‘work’ gets to feel this good, it gets to feel fun, magical, and like you are a part of something - because YOU ARE. And I know I said this already, but it’s important to remember - Your Guides WANT to help you. They want you to ask them to support you - never feel guilty or like you can’t ask them for things no matter how small!

That is also another beauty of this simple practice, as well as it obviously having the power to impact your day - it is also an incredible practice to get into to start working with your Guides and Spirit Team. If you are looking to have more of a connection with them, this is a great way to build that connection and trust, to get familiar with how they feel, and get used to allowing them in your space! (Also, if you are looking to really deepen this connection and receive messages and guidance directly - take a look at my Intuitive Development course here)

And so that’s it! That is the practice. So simple right! It can take less than 5 minutes, and it can completely change your entire day every day. And, not only can it change the outcome of each day, and how you experience each day, but it can also just help you feel so completely supported, and help you feel the magic and awe that we get to experience - and that feeling just gets stronger and stronger! The more you feel supported … the more you will be supported, and so it is one of those practices that just gets more and more impactful the more you work with it and your Guides!

As I said before, whether it is big moments or events, or just a random Tuesday afternoon - you get to feel so deeply supported, held, looked after, and LUCKY … and we all have the ability to feel that way.

I would LOVE to hear if you give this practice a go!

ENJOY directing your own life, and enjoy the magic and awe that comes with working with your Spirit Guides!

From my heart to yours
