Transcript
Automatic transcript. May contain errors.0:00Hi, my name is Lewis Howes and welcome to the Daily Motivation Show.
0:12You also talk about how we have guides. My girlfriend, who's amazing, she'll always tell me, she's like, you know, your angels are always watching you. Yeah, she's the spiritual being, right? She's like, I have, there's angels that are always supporting me whenever I'm in trouble. I'm like focused on my angels. I'm like, where are these angels? Like, how do we know they're here? Who are these guides? Like how can we tap into this belief that there are, whether it's our ancestors, spiritual beings, whatever it may be, are here with us, are leading us into a path of love. What I write about in my book is what I believe.
0:45And I always have a big disclaimer that says this is an opportunity to crack you open to believing something new. And if it's not for you, you choose how you choose to perceive this. So not only do I talk about spirit guides and angels and deceased family members, but I also talk about your higher self. So if this is too woo-woo for you, start to tap into what is the voice of my higher self, that voice of my inner guidance system. And that wisdom that I believe in is my true nature. I believe that we all have guides, ancestors, family members, teachers, light beings, energy beings that are supporting us in a form that is able to step in, able to channel through us when we write books, able to, to be there in those darkest moments, pick us up off the floor and hold us in discomfort and guide us to business opportunities or babies or whatever it is that we're looking for.
1:37And it's always available to us, that guidance, but we just, we cut it off. We block it. Why do we block the guidance? Fear is the reason we block it. Fear. Fear of what? It's not even fear. It's that false based perception that we've built up around ourselves from those traumatic events, right? So we have these traumatic events early in life and they continue to build and build and build. We build up a world of false perceptions. I am this body. I am Gabby Bernstein. I am Lewis Howes. I've got the School of Greatness. I'm a New York Times bestseller. I can't trust people. We create these beliefs.
2:08And you believe you're separate from others. You believe you're better than or less than or not good enough. And all those stories, all those false pretenses are what many spiritual practices call the ego, right? And that fear-based perception of yourself is misaligned with God, with love, with spirit, with angels, with guides. And when you clear and undo those patterns of fear and start to claim the pattern of love, that's when you are hooked up, super attractor. Unstoppable. Unstoppable. Invisible doors open for you. It doesn't matter how low you are when you're starting this, you will go way further than you could possibly have imagined.
2:48What's the difference between spiritual guides or guides and intuition? You could call it the same thing. Your guides are your bridge from your fear-based thoughts back to your love, right? So if you pray and say, God, guide, higher self. Angels, whatever. I give this to you. Figure it out, right? I don't know I'm going to get through this time, but I give it to you. That's how we surrender. People are like, I don't have to surrender. I don't want to let it go. I don't know how to through prayer. Okay. Prayer is the conduit. And then when we say that prayer or that intention, whatever you want to call it, and we allow ourselves to give it over to a higher power of our own understanding, a guide, God, spirit, grandma, whoever, then we're, we're taking that difficult experience.
3:34We're handing it over and then we relax. Yeah. Because we think, okay, it's not on my, my shoulders anymore. It's like taking our ego out of ourself and putting it over here and saying, Someone else has got to handle it. Give it over. Help me undo this. And then their job is to pay attention. What's going to show up for us? And so pay close attention. How do we pay attention? Just be aware, stay calm, and stay chill, right? And be conscious of how things start to speed up or the synchronicities that begin to happen around you. Or if you are like, you know, guides, I want to see a sign. And you're like, I need butterflies.
4:04And butterflies are everywhere. I'm getting thousands and thousands of emails. And they're just like, Gabby, every single sign I've asked for is coming to me. and like it just speeds up ask for a sign today if you're having a difficult experience say guides uh what what would your sign be don't think just say it just say it don't think uh an eagle and now if there's an issue that's happening in your life just say to yourself silently today at the end of this podcast just say thank you guides thank you universe whatever you both right for showing me my eagle to remind me that i'm on the right path

Author Gabby Bernstein explains spiritual guides as our bridge back to love when fear blocks intuition. She details how trauma creates limiting beliefs that we are separate and not enough. Bernstein encourages clearing these patterns by surrendering problems to the universe and watching for signs. She believes we all have ancestral, angelic and higher self guides supporting us, but our egos of false perceptions cut off inner wisdom. Bernstein advises getting ego out of the way so divine timing can speed up and synchronicities manifest answers. By relaxing into trust instead of overthinking, she says the frequency of alignment allows invisible doors to open. Bernstein uplifts asking for signs today to affirm you’re on the right path.
