We’re never truly alone on our journey. Whether you’re facing a big life decision, feeling a little stuck, or just simply need a little help finding something—They are here waiting patiently for your invitation to assist.
1) Helper Guides
Helper guides are unique spiritual beings who come to you based on your needs. Unlike guardian angels or lifelong spirit guides who stay with you throughout your life, helper guides shift and change depending on the specific energy or area of support you’re calling in. Their purpose is simple: to help you move forward with clarity, purpose, and grace.
When and How Do They Assist?
Your helpers can step in at any time—but especially when you're:
Stuck on a creative project
Questioning your direction in love or relationships
Struggling with health or emotional balance
Needing insight for a work-related challenge
Planning a big trip or transition
They bring specialized wisdom tailored to your current experience. You might feel their presence as a sudden idea, a sense of calm clarity, or even a synchronicity that nudges you toward your next step.
How to Call on Your Helper Guides
Calling on your guides is simple and intuitive. Try:
Sitting quietly and asking aloud or in your mind:
“I call on my helper guide for [love/creativity/clarity/etc.]. Please assist me with...”
Journaling to open the channel and allow their insight to flow through your words.
Paying attention to signs and feelings—trust what resonates, even if it’s subtle.
You don’t need to know who they are by name or see them clearly to receive their help. All that’s required is intention and openness.
Because your needs evolve, so do your helpers. One guide may support you during a time of healing, while another might show up during a burst of creative energy or a big life decision. It’s a dynamic relationship, always shifting to match your growth.
🌟 Affirmation for Calling in Helper Guides
"I am supported by divine guidance in every moment. I trust my spiritual helpers to lead me with love, clarity, and purpose. I welcome their insight with an open heart and a willing spirit."
2) Runner Guides
Have you ever lost something and, after searching endlessly, suddenly found it in the most unexpected place? Or maybe you’ve felt drawn to a particular house listing or job post, almost as if it were calling out to you? That subtle guidance may not be mere coincidence, it could be the gentle work of your spiritual runners.
Who Are the Runners?
Runners are a special type of spiritual helper. Unlike guardian angels or spirit guides who often assist with big-picture life paths or emotional healing, runners specialize in helping you find and connect with what you're seeking. They are fast, agile, and incredibly attuned to the energetic signals you send out through your intentions.
These beings can take the form of earth spirits, fairies, or souls who have lived in deep harmony with nature. Because of their close relationship with the natural world, they’re excellent at tracking energy, locating lost items, and guiding you toward opportunities aligned with your desires.
How Do They Help?
Your runners are especially helpful in the practical, everyday aspects of life—though their magic is anything but mundane.
Finding Lost Items: Can't find your keys, a special piece of jewelry, or an important document? Call on your runners. They're wonderful at tracking the energetic imprint of objects and gently nudging your attention in the right direction.
Scouting Ahead: If you’re looking for a new apartment, job, or even a soulmate, you can send your runners ahead. Ask them to prepare the way, to highlight the right options, and to bring your awareness to the opportunities that are most aligned with your energy.
Bridging Intuition and Action: Runners don't just retrieve or direct; they also amplify your focus. They create subtle synchronicities—perhaps a name that keeps popping up, a listing that catches your eye, or a conversation that feels fated.
How to Work With Your Runners
Like all spirit helpers, runners respond to clarity, gratitude, and trust.
Ask Clearly: Be specific in your intention. Say something like, “Dear runners, please help me find the perfect apartment that is within my budget, safe, and aligned with my energy.”
Let Go: Once you've asked, release the need to control the outcome. Your runners work best when you're open to their subtle nudges and trust their timing.
Pay Attention to Signs: A strong feeling, an image in your mind, or an unexpected recommendation from a friend could all be the gentle guiding hand of your runners.
Say Thank You: When their help becomes clear (and it will), acknowledge and thank them. Gratitude strengthens the relationship and opens the door to even more assistance.
Working with your runners is like dancing with nature’s spirit. Their energy is light, joyful, and attuned to harmony. When you call on them, you’re not only inviting help—you’re deepening your relationship with the unseen wisdom of the Earth. So next time you're seeking something, whether it's your misplaced keys, parking space, or a new life path, remember: your runners are ready to assist.
Let them run ahead and bring the magic back to you.
✨ Affirmation:
“I am divinely guided and supported by my spiritual runners. They go before me, clearing the path, finding what I need, and connecting me with all that is meant for me. I trust the magic unfolding in my life.”
3) Joy Guides
Have you ever laughed out loud for no reason—or found yourself smiling in the middle of chaos without really knowing why? That’s not just a random flicker of happiness. It could be your Joy Guides at work.
Who Are Your Joy Guides?
Joy Guides are a special category of spiritual helpers whose sole purpose is to uplift your spirit. They are lighthearted, playful, and deeply tuned into your emotional state. When life feels heavy, confusing, or overwhelmingly serious, your joy guides step in like the comic relief in a dramatic play—reminding you that joy is always within reach.
How Do They Help You?
They Keep You Laughing Your joy guides are like the best kind of friends—ones who know just how to crack you up when you need it most. When you’re drowning in seriousness or spiraling into anxiety, they nudge you with a silly thought, an unexpected memory, or a wave of uncontrollable laughter. They help break the cycle of heaviness by reminding you that lightness exists.
They Show Up When You’re Lost in Despair In your darkest moments, when nothing seems to make sense and you feel disconnected from hope, your joy guides come in quietly—but powerfully. A funny coincidence, a random inside joke you shared with someone years ago, or a child’s laughter drifting in from the next room—these are all little sparks they use to reconnect you with life.
They Bring You Back to the Present Ever misplaced your keys or phone and searched for them endlessly—only to find them in the most obvious place? Sometimes, this isn’t just forgetfulness. It’s your joy guides playing a little trick to snap you out of autopilot and draw your awareness back to the now. By shifting your attention, they help break the cycle of stress and reconnect you to the moment.
They Help You Take Yourself Less Seriously Your joy guides don’t just want you to laugh—they want you to remember that you are allowed to be happy, even in uncertain times. They remind you that joy is sacred, not frivolous. That your spiritual path doesn’t have to be solemn all the time. That laughter, play, and levity are just as holy as silence and reflection.
They May Even Surprise You With Unexpected Gifts Maybe you are at a restaurant, and you are offered a Free dessert or drink. For no reason, someone gives you a gift. You may even be offered a hand with something you are working on.
How to Connect with Your Joy Guides
Ask Them In: Before going to sleep or during meditation, invite your joy guides to step closer. Tell them you’re open to laughter, playfulness, and little miracles.
Notice the Nudge: Pay attention to those small, unexpected bursts of amusement. They may be subtle, but they’re real.
Embrace Spontaneity: Say yes to things that bring you joy, even if they feel silly or pointless. That’s where joy guides thrive.
Gratitude is the Bridge: When you feel a lift in your spirit, thank them. Gratitude strengthens your connection and opens the door for more joy.
Remember: Joy is not an escape from the human experience—it's part of it. And your Joy Guides are here to help you remember that, one giggle at a time.
