[020] Coffee with Dakota: Do I have any Spirit Guides?

My question is how do you know the messages are true messages from your spirit guides or if they are from your own thoughts, feelings, or needs? Not sure how else to put this.  I have done many of your journeys and have a very lovely spirit mentorship going on but am not always sure about what messages I get.

This is a comment regarding your response to Fantasia's question regarding experiencing our guides. During the video, your guides were swirling around you in the sunbeams shining through the trees...I could feel the upload of information coming in through your crown and up from the great Mother flowing out from your heart! Thank you for sharing your walk with the world.

I was so happy to hear how you listen for messages from your guides while not actually journeying as we know it, but by paying attention and being aware of your surroundings. I must say that my guides speak louder to me when I am not actually journeying, but when I am just staying aware during awake time. It seems I either read or heard a recording of Sandra Ingerman once saying that the veil is getting so thin that some of us can commune with our guides without the need for ceremony. Have you heard anything like that, or do you know others like that?

My question would be how to become aware of the unseen assistance and guidance we receive during this tumultuous time of ascension? With the extremely high energies and confusion surrounding us, we often become oblivious to the assistance that we are receiving and constantly live our lives in fear and seemingly facing our fears alone, blocking ourselves to the signs of help that we receive daily and on a grander scale.

I would love to learn more about spirit guides; shamanism in general; ways to deepen my connection with nature/spirit, and the differences and similarities between meditation and shamanic journeying. Jennifer

On my hike through Point Tamales, I kept seeing lines drawn in the sand. I wasn't sure the source but knew it was a message for me. As someone who teaches people how to read the signs and listen to your Spirit Guides, this is Soul Tracking - a powerful way of interpreting messages.  In today's Shaman Short, I share with you my discovery and how we can interpret these messages through our own filter.
