A spirit guide is someone who lived on Earth, died an has chosen to come back from the other side to help and counsel on earth.
Spirit guides operate on a higher vibrational level then we do here on earth.
They don’t have more earthly lessons to learn. They don’t even have to be here anymore. They chose to guide others through this lifetime.
The difference between an angel and a spirit guide is that angels are beings that have never lived on earth.
Spirit guides come in different forms. Human form. Alien form. Mythological creatures. Any type of being you could imagine.
They have some things in common. They’re willing to help guide and teach those on Earth who have asked for help.
