Unlocking the Path to Your Spirit Guides: Embrace the Child Within

We grow up and forget what it feels like to be children again—innocent, fearless, and free. As adults, we wear responsibilities like heavy cloaks, telling ourselves that being childlike is no longer appropriate. Yet, the further we drift from that playful essence, the more stuck and disconnected we feel. The truth is, tapping into the child within us is the easiest way to unlock something deeper: a connection to our spirit guides and guardian angels.

Remember those moments when all you wanted was to run into your mother’s embrace, to cry it out, and to hear her whisper that everything would be okay? Even if you didn’t have a close relationship with your mom, the longing for such comfort and unconditional love remains universal. It is in these tender, vulnerable moments that we must turn to the divine parents of creation: Shiva and Shakti—the cosmic masculine and feminine energies.

Shakti, the divine feminine, embodies the vastness of space and the nurturing womb from which all creation is born. When life feels overwhelming, surrender to her. Imagine handing over your worries, your struggles, and your fears, just as a child hands their troubles to a parent. This act of surrender is not weakness—it is the ultimate strength, the purest form of trust. It is in this trust that we open ourselves to the grace that flows from the divine.

Once, as a child, my mother told me, “If you can’t say no to someone, or if you’re struggling, just put it on me—that’s what parents are for.” As I grew up, I forgot this wisdom in my quest for independence. But every time I missed her comforting embrace, I was reminded that the divine is always there, waiting for us to lean in. Shakti, like a mother, will cradle your fears and soothe your soul. This childlike surrender to her opens a door—a door to receiving guidance from spirit guides and guardian angels who are always by our side.

The Power of Innocence

As the poet William Blake once said, “Wisdom is in innocence.” When we connect with the childlike wonder we once had, we rediscover a profound truth: beneath the layers of adulting lies the essence of who we are. Our spirit guides and angels see this essence. They encourage us to peel back these layers and remember the dreams, joys, and passions we held as children.

Take a moment to reflect on your younger self. What did you love to do as a child? Perhaps there’s a thread connecting those childhood passions to the work you do today. Your guides are gently nudging you toward these missing links, urging you to trust and have faith, just as you did when you were a child.

A Simple Technique to Connect with Spirit Guides

Here’s a simple yet powerful way to open communication with your spirit guides and angels:

1. Find a Quiet Space: Sit comfortably and close your eyes. Breathe deeply, allowing yourself to relax.

2. Visualize Shakti’s Embrace: Imagine the darkness behind your closed eyes as the infinite space of Shakti’s womb. Whisper, “Dear Maa, I fall into your embrace. Please guide me, protect me, and share your wisdom.”

3. Hug Your Younger Self: Picture yourself as a 10-year-old child. See yourself giving this child a warm hug and saying, “You’re doing brilliantly in the future. You’re growing into someone strong and capable. Don’t worry.”

4. Ask a Question: Ask your younger self, “What do you love to do? What brings you joy?” Wait for an answer. Even silence is a response—it means you’re already on the right path.

5. Notice the Signs: After this meditation, stay alert. You might notice a seemingly random YouTube video, an email, or a conversation that resonates deeply. These are validations from your guardian angels that you’re aligned with your spiritual path.

Trust and Let Go

While we often try to control outcomes, the divine plan operates on a higher frequency—a cosmic cycle that governs all. Surrendering to this plan doesn’t mean giving up; it means trusting that everything is working for your highest good.

Think back to childhood, when every day was a lesson, every moment a chance to marvel at the world. Rekindle that sense of awe and openness. Pray with the innocence of a child: “Please let me drive safely,” or, “Please let there be my favorite dal-rice for lunch.” These simple prayers pave the way for deeper communication with the divine.

The Key to Divine Communication

The key lies in belief—trusting as deeply as a child does. By embracing your inner child, surrendering to Shakti’s embrace, and opening your heart to your guides, you unlock the divine wisdom that has always been within you.

Start small. Trust big. And watch as the light of your spirit guides floods into your life. ✨
