Guides are often used too casually by those who come to a medium for a private reading.

Yes mediums do their job in helping others to make personal decisions about their life; however their job is to give the messages passed through to them and not give advice on the content.

Teaching a person to see clearly and to help themselves move forward in life, plus guides will often give consoling messages to a medium so that a person is able to look at their emotions in relation to their existing predicament , which in turn is aimed at calming mind and body.

A working medium will have a band of guides; each guide is responsible in helping with a certain task, like it is here on earth when a consultant has chosen his or her specialised field of medical care.

The various messages or tasks that the medium performs is only attained with the help of the guides. The best known guides lend a helping hand with healing, others choose to work by bringing forward details from friends and relatives, while many guides care for the animals that are ill or treated badly by humans.

A medium that has bee given a gift of spiritual healing or clairvoyance will meet their early on in their earthly life while others do not recognise they have a mediumistic gift until later. Guides are trusted by mediums as they open up their gift more to help others with their personal growth.

However at this point I would like to mention that you do not have to be a medium to have a guide or helper, each and every one of you has a number of guides giving you a helping hand.

Remember, guides can be friends and relatives who have passed over from their earthly existence and have chosen to help to guide you.
