Knowing the difference between true and false guides is a critical step into your spiritual journey. You may be wondering why which is the reason behind today’s blog post. I want to create an awareness of true and false guides for you so that you can move forward, instead of falling into the trap of a downward spiral in your energy shifts and soul-purpose.
True and False Guides: What You Need to Know
When you think of spirituality and meditation, what words come to mind? Perhaps empowerment, purpose, healing. Having a fulfilling relationship with your spirituality will help you live your life to its fullest potential. One way in which to do that is by having a true guide who is there to help you along your journey. That’s why it’s so important for you to be able to identify the true guides from the false ones.
Here are the typical attributes of a false guide:
They put you in a defensive mode
They place you in thoughts of self-denial
They can lead you toward destructive behavior like emotional eating
They make it appear that you are in control, but that self-control can cut loose in an instant
They will ultimately keep you down and prevent you from a positive uplifting experience
Essentially, not only will false guides prevent you from moving forward, but they can undo all your hard work that you’ve committed to so far. Instead of retracting, push forward. That is your guide to lead you to something true and onto real change.
On the contrary, true guides may appear at first to be more difficult to work with. They will challenge you, and tell you truths that you may not be ready to hear. Here is what a true guide will do for you:
They will offer you a different point of view
They can’t and won’t force you to make any changes but will highly encourage it
They will listen to you wholeheartedly: your strengths and your struggles
They will honor your journey, no matter where you’re at
You also have to note that true guides come from a higher realm.
Here is my advice on determining who the true guide is in your spiritual journey.
In this instance, meditation is key. The best way you’re going to connect with your guide is through frequent, dedicated meditation. If you’re resisting a bonding connection, there are probably blockages and traumas that are causing that resistance. You must let them go.
It may take time but if you make meditation a practice, it will help you in the long-term during your spiritual journey. Sometimes we take control of it. But other times, we let that control loose. Guess what happens? Our life then falls into a downward spiral. That certainly happened to me! It’s brought me conviction discussing this topic because it’s so near and dear to my heart.
True and false guides are out there, and all you have to do is be able to identify them before you welcome them into your mindset. True guides will help you greatly with your spirituality and maintaining positive vibes. Have you found your true guide yet? How are they helping you live your life to the fullest potential?
