The Mechanics of Spirit Guides: Managing Your Astral Contracts

In the mainstream spiritual world, spirit guides are often put on a massive pedestal. People treat them like all-powerful, divine beings who hold all the answers to our lives.

But if we step back and look at the actual mechanics of energy, the reality is much more grounded.


Spirit guides are not gods. They are simply other spirits, and they come and go. While they can be helpful, they are not the ultimate authority on your life—you are. Today, let’s look at how these energetic relationships actually work, how you might be calling them in without knowing it, and how to get back into the driver's seat of your own space.


You are in charge of your spirit guides.
You are in charge of yourself, not spirit guides.

The Astral Billboard

Most of the time, we are not consciously aware of our guides, nor are we aware when we are asking them for help. This process happens automatically on an energetic level.

Think of it this way: when you are stressed, overwhelmed, or facing a spiritual challenge, your system sends out a massive distress signal. You are essentially posting a billboard on the astral plane that says, "Assistance Needed."


Spirits answer those calls. An agreement is formed, and a guide enters your space to assist. But because this happens unconsciously, many people end up walking around with an open door, letting entities crowd their space without realizing it.


Your Information vs. Their Perspective

Here is a core truth I have learned from thirty years of reading energy: you do not always need guidance from other beings.


Every spirit has its own perspective and its own set of information. When you rely too heavily on a guide, you are running their information through your physical equipment. But true spiritual maturity is about accessing your own innate wisdom. It is always best to get your own direct information in the present time rather than relying on an outside viewpoint—even if that viewpoint comes from a guide.


You don't need a middleman to run your own life.


Updating and Cancelling Agreements

Because these relationships are based on energetic contracts, you have total sovereignty over them. You are allowed to change the terms. Just like a software update or a business contract, you can update or completely break off agreements with your guides.

If a guide has been hanging around since a childhood trauma, or if their energy is making you feel crowded and ungrounded today, that agreement is outdated. You have the power to tell them it's time to move on.


How We Handle Guides in a Session

When you sit down for a reading with me, my primary focus is always on you and the specific real-world issues you want to resolve. However, if the presence of a guide is cluttering your field or holding you back, I will absolutely address it.


During the healing portion of our work, I handle guides in two operational ways:

  • Moving them out: I will assist in clearing the guide completely out of your space so the static drops, allowing you to access your own clear information.

  • Updating the contract: If the guide still has a functional purpose, I will help you rewrite the agreement. We essentially let the guide know that their access to you is now limited strictly to what is appropriate for you in the present time.


You are the spirit in charge of your body. Let’s clean up your astral contracts and get you back in full ownership of your space.
