How To Know If Your Spirit Guides Are Guiding You

March 8, 2016 by Bob Olson 43 Comments

This is our 3rd episode in the new format, and I sincerely thank you for all your supportive feedback. Today we’re going to delve into some pretty deep questions like, Where Are My Spirit Guides When Things Go Wrong? Discover the 3 angles to consider when your spirit guides seem to be missing in action. And learn the 4 ways our spirit guides communicate with us.

Later in the show, I know you’ll love Jessica’s story about her after-death communication with her ex-fiance—his ability to communicate is extraordinary. And Tammy asks why her children have had dream visitations with their dad but he has yet to show up in her dreams—a very common question that I’ll answer.

Finally, I share my experiences at a 5-day past-life regression workshop presented by Dr. Brian Weiss in case you want to attend the next one. And I share a true story from my own life that taught me why it’s important to stay in the present moment. I’ve been enjoying hearing your stories and questions and hope you’ll continue to share with us on Afterlife TV. Enjoy the episode! ~ Bob Olson, Afterlife TV

PS, Don’t miss the very special GIVEAWAY opportunity mentioned in the show! And gratitude to my wife, Melissa, for her gorgeous photography for this video.

    Here’s my quit smoking story:

    I began smoking in Ernest in early 1963 because my girlfriend, later to become my wife smoked. Well, I don’t blame her completely, as I might have started otherwise, because that was the culture at the time. Beginning sometime in the early ’70’s I quit smoking on seemingly about a half dozen times….. each lasting for weeks or even months while my wife continued (even today). The last time I tried to break the habit I was into maybe something like 6 weeks of not smoking.

    Then one day I came home for lunch from the office as was my usual routine. But this day, as I finished lunch, I spied a pack of cigarets my wife had left on the counter, I think by mistake, as she was not into tempting me to begin again. Or was she? 🙂 Anyway, I thought, “what the heck, one cigarette can’t hurt anything” and it would be so good to have another puff before never having another. (I had been down that road before) So, I went over to the counter, took out a cigarette and looked for a match to light it. There were no matches to be found. But no problem, there was the electric stove burner to turn on for the light – I had done this many times before. So I headed to the stove to get my light, but as I was walking toward the stove the electric power went out. I should mention the loss of electric power in Anchorage was quite rare.

    I placed the cigarette back into its package and have never ever been even slightly tempted to smoke again. That occurred in about 1975.

      Hi Charlie,

      Oh my god, that’s such a great story. I love it. Thanks for sharing, but please please please share it with everyone by recording it for the show. You can simply read what you wrote to me–most people do. And you get to record it over and over before you send it. But with that in mind, people prefer a mistake or two because it shows you’re a real person who makes mistakes just like them, so don’t try to make it perfect. I hope you will. Just go to https://www.afterlifetv.com/story

        Bob – I don’t have a voice transmission capability/application on my computer, so I can’t share this verbally. That said I do enjoy and appreciate your program each week. I have had a few other interesting spiritual experiences, so I am a believer but not quite a knower because for me the afterlife is so hard to “know” to be true. I’m surely not alone with this outlook? Thanks again for your investigations!!

    Hi Bob,
    Thank you for another uplifting episode, it gets better every week! This is better than watching the news on TV. I feel so energized after listening to your positive messages.
    Still enjoying looking at your wife’s amazing pictures as well.

    Bob, I can’t help but feel that your dog actually protected you and your wife, or anyone else such as a child for that matter, from stepping in that trap. The fact that there were no long-term after-effects is a clue that this could have been a meant-to-be, guided by angels, sort of experience.

    Loved your book. Thank you for what you do!

    Hi, Bob; have to say i really like your new format! Side note: A friend of mine was diagnosed with a rare form of blood cancer in December; been doing the whole Chemo thing to no avail. He’s now at home in hospice and they’ve given him about a week. His grief transitioned to the 5th stage, acceptance, rather quickly but I know, deep down, he’s afraid. So, to try to alleviate this fear, I’ve given him your book – I really think it will help him during this final transition here.

    Thanks,
    Ric

      Hi Ric,

      Well that was a very kind thing to do for your friend. Any amount that he can reduce his fear of death will positively alter his experience. And I appreciate that you thought so much of the book to do that. I’m so very sorry to learn of your friend’s diagnosis. Be gentle with yourself and give yourself some extra self-care. A good friend of mine, Cheryl Richardson, wrote a book titled, The Art of Extreme Self-Care. Check it out. You and your friend will be in my thoughts and prayers.

    Speaking of coincidences – or are there any? – I watched this episode just as I am struggling with raising my vibrations. After some very depressing years and a traumatic experience, I am working really hard on getting me and some loved ones back on track. What I find very interesting is that I am much more sensitive to people´s negativity now. I am an optimist myself but I get upset sometimes if others drag me down. Loved the music of this video and the cute dog pictures!!!!!

      Hey Elizaveta,

      You must be empathic. Me too. It just means we absorb other people’s stuff by feeling their pain or joy. Melissa calls me Sponge Bob. For empaths, we just need to be extra careful about who we hang out with, what we watch on TV and listen to on the radio, even what we read. Thanks for the feedback. I love the music too, and the black Labrador swimming with the green toy in her mouth is Libby.

    Hi Bob, Bravo on the new format! I was afraid I’d be disappointed bc I LOVED the old show. But I’ve had many aha! moments as to why you made the change. YOU are so wise and have so much to contribute rather than primarily being the great host.One illustration, from the story of Jessica and ex-fiance, is how your investigative self was able to find and convey so much more meaning and insight than I did while listening. Appreciated the teaching story with Libby.
    Thank you! Keep the wisdom coming!

    I enjoyed the show! What really resonated with me when you was talking about the negativity of the news. I like to keep informed but need to counter that with a lot of affirmations and meditation.

    I also enjoyed the mention of ‘coincidences’ that occur in our lives. It’s amazing to contemplate the ‘coincidences’ that occur and what I have gained from those experiences. I believe spirit guide efforts were involved in all those coincidences where one or many of us benefited.

    hi Bob – I love your show always – maybe the new format is even better. 🙂 I am always interested in learning more about Spiritual stuff. I am doing well recently with communicating with my Spirit Guides. One aspect for me though is Not Coming out of the Closet. I don’t have to do this as a job so that helps me. Recently I decided to be More Abundant in my life – especially with Money. thanks Bob for your great effort ! 🙂 Paddy McKeag – I am on your email 🙂

      Hi Paddy,

      Thanks for your feedback. One way I’ve brought more abundance into my life is by making the environment in which I live and work more harmonious and more reflective of my desires for a world that nurtures me. I did that about 4 years ago and was astounded by how the Universe responded in terms of abundance and joy. Good luck to you.

    I just finished the March 8th podcast. I had been putting off listening and now I know why!
    I really needed to hear about raising my vibrations. I meditate, but can use your suggestions ANY time. It is difficult to go into a meditative state at work. 🙂
    I need to learn to live in the moment and I appreciate that message also. Your story about Libby made me cry as I felt her pain and the anguish that you and Melissa felt also.
    I love the new format.

      Oh that’s wonderful that the message came for you at the right time. I like what you got out of it.

      I know, the Libby story was hard to hear until you find out later that she’s okay. I wonder how many people had to stop listening before it ended. I never would have told that story if it didn’t end well. A lot of people said they liked it, so I’ll do another in the next episode. Thanks Anita!

    Hi Bob;
    I want to thank you for all the shows you bring us all.I really appreciate all the time and work you put into all the interviews you do but I just had a recent experience I never had before.I do meditate every day and I do have psychic experiences on a regular basis.
    I spend a good part of every day on my couch because I am disabled and experience chronic pain daily.I was sitting watching tv and I could feel an Angel on my right.I didn’t see him but the feeling was so strong a picture formed in my mind that he was huge.I have 8 ft. ceilings and he was hunched over.He’d have to be at least 10 ft. tall.His size scared me but quickly I calmed down.
    I want to know if anyone else has heard about or had the same experience ? The only thing I kept feeling was something big is coming.I know a lot of things are happening all over the world on a daily basis and it isn’t getting any better.I would appreciate any answers or opinions you might have.Thanks again.

    Great show!!!!!

    This time what resonated with me was the impact ‘spirit guides’ have on our lives.

    I have been trying to document past incidents before I recognized guides and their help. However, shortly after you started talking a whole list of ‘new life-changing’ things, I have not documented before came to my mind. A lot of things occurred because of just one or two life-changing decisions that occurred that seemed like ‘my forced destiny’ at the time.

    Thanks for your shows!

    HI Bob,

    Just finished listening to you and this segment was great.
    I have had many dream visitations and I’m not a heavy sleeper either.
    I think that if you ever had a dream visitation you would remember it.
    It’s nothing like a normal dream. It’s visual and very powerful and you will
    never forget it.
    Great segment!
