What Is Spiritual Guidance?

How can a spiritual guide help me?

What comes to mind when you hear the term “spiritual guidance”? Or the words, spiritual, spirit or even soul? Do you feel you have a good understanding, or belief around these terms? 

There may be a specific definition, or a belief system – however in reality it’s deeply personal to the individual. What’s within YOU is what matters most.

A guide is a person who shows you the way. 

A spiritual guide may even show up in unexpected ways, through a dying loved one, an ill child, or even a vibrant healthy child playing. Even a stranger, an animal or a dream… the possibilities are virtually endless. 

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and own common sense” – Buddha (Siddhārtha Gautama)

A spiritual guide should help to guide you on your own path, not theirs, or anyone else’s.

(or whatever may be trending in the world of spirituality at the time – possibly due to a celebrity interest or endorsement, cinema or even social media.)

A good spiritual guide will guide you to your own inner wisdom, help you to release any past guilt or shame around beliefs that no longer feel right and true for you, or perhaps never did. A good spiritual guide will offer suggestions or exercises designed to better understand your own truth. 

Where are you on your spiritual path right now?

Do you feel you have lost your way, or were never even close to it?

Are you missing something in life, but unsure what it is? Wondering if spirituality or a spiritual practice may help? There is much to explore, and you never know it may be hidden just beneath the surface, or deep within your soul. Your answers may be found in your childhood or ancestry or even past lives. 

Do you feel a deep connection to nature and the earth, or maybe something far away from the earth, and sky – not of this earth? Just reading that previous line, notice what comes up for you.

Have you had a transcendent experience, out of body experience, or even a paranormal experience that you wish to find answers about? Perhaps you’re fearful of an experience you’ve had, or even some thoughts that you would like some clarity around. 

Nobody can tell you, or do the work for you, but you don’t have to do it alone. There were lots of questions within this article. These are questions to ask yourself, perhaps you’ll find clarity by going through the article, writing out the questions and using them as journal prompts. (I have large hard cover journals with some of my paintings on the cover on Amazon, just put my name “Pamela Topjian” in the Amazon search bar)

Thank you for sharing in the time and space with me. I do not believe in coincidences or accidents. I am grateful for the connection.

Please take care, inside and out! Pamela Topjian

What Are Soul Contracts?

What Are Soul Contracts and how to complete the contract.

Many people believe in past lives, (rebirth, reincarnation etc.) and with that, they also believe we are much more than our physical selves. I believe this. There is a technique of hypnotherapy to show you a past life: Past life regression. Dr. Brian Weiss and Dolores Cannon are two of many that have made this known more mainstream. 

However, soul contracts are more about the time before your life, or in between lives. Some believe, as I do, that we have a soul family, much like a soulmate; however people that are placed in your life on purpose to teach you something you need to know. Not necessarily ‘lessons’ , but to give you an experience for your better understanding of life. 

If you have ever been through something difficult that hurt you deeply, this situation was part of your soul contract. If you don’t want to repeat this, then step back to gain clarity on the reason. To gain understanding. Hypnotherapy can help with that. Writing it all out, journaling, and meditation can also help, or any combination. There are many ways to gain clarity on a situation. If you’re having triggers this is showing you where you need to step back and take a good look objectively. 

Our soul family, or soulmate are those we feel deeply connected to, usually as soon as we make contact, you feel drawn to this person, or some odd ‘coincidences’ or ‘twist of fate’ brings you together.  

Often these people are with you over many lifetimes. Some of these people are like thorns in your side, and you can’t seem to stop reliving or being triggered by their hurtful actions. These people can come in your life for just a month, or they can even be family! 

There is also a hypnotherapy technique to sever energetic cords or end contracts. Send these souls on their way thanking them for their lessons and sending them on their way with love and gratitude. This can also be done in meditation on your own. 

I have a guided meditation: Release soul contracts. This guided meditation is a good way to show you where to start if you’re new to meditation. If you watch, please feel free to leave a comment, and let me know how you felt afterwards, even come back after a few days to see if you notice anything. If you don’t want to be public with your experience I always welcome private messages on my social media, or via the contact form on my Breakthrough Hypnotherapy home page

As always I love hearing from you! If you have any suggestions for future articles or topics you’re interested in reading about here, (or more guided meditations on my YouTube Channel) please let me know.

Thank you so much for being here! Remember, consultations for hypnotherapy are always free of charge, and include a sample session so you can see how it feels before you make any commitments. 

Take care, inside and out!
