Types of Psychic Spirit Guides

Some of the more common categories are:

The Master Teachers—
They were masters upon the earth, and thus work as masters from the spiritual realm. Master teachers oversee the growth and spiritual development of a great many people. They do not limit themselves to just one individual.

Physical Doctor—
This is a spiritual guide who works with your health and your well-being. Anyone who works to develop any form of healing will have a physical doctor. It usually is someone who was involved in healing when they walked the earth.

Teacher Doctor—
This spirit guide works to assist you in your spiritual growth and studies. This being assists us in understanding philosophy and is involved in all studies we undertake in any area of our life.

Chemist—
In the Spiritualist tradition, a spirit guide who works with the chemistry of your body. Altering and transmuting the chemistry of our body so that you can attune to the spiritual realm and more effectively handle the higher and more intense vibrations from it.

Protectors—
These guides often take the shape of large beings, strong in manner and character. It is not unusual to find protectors that are . They can also take the form of strong animals, such as a panther or tiger, or be Indian or Viking in appearance. These are the guides to call upon when greater strength and energy is required.

Message Bearers—
These individuals amplifying your intuition and perceptions. If you develop clairaudience—the ability to hear, your spirit guides will pass on messages to you from others. These guides assist in finding information. Many psychics and mediums use their message bearers as the source for the information they provide to others in psychic and clairvoyant readings.

Door and Gate Keepers
In some ways these guides are like the protector guides. They keep negative entities away when you open the doors and gates to the inner realms. They guard the doors so that only those guides appropriate to the situation can enter. If you develop trance mediumship, these help guide and guard the physical body while the consciousness is withdrawn. They allow only appropriate spirits to use the physical body during the trance session.

The Symbol of Your Spirit Guide
Many spirit guides will reveal themselves through symbols, images or specific colors. When first trying to contact your guides, they do not always show themselves as they truly are, so the symbol provides clues as to their function within your life. Meditation, study and reflection upon the symbol will often play upon your own energy field, raising its level so that you can more easily attune to this guide.
