My own belief is that we all have souls who look in on us, help us, guide us along the way. These are souls that we have had past lives with, souls that we asked to help us in this life before entering.
I have had four guides help me at diffrent times. They are of diverse background and ethinicity. I have found that one has been with me from the start and the others come when I need their particular guidance.
You must meditate and ask for your guide or guides to greet you. Names are not important and do not ask for "proof". Also, you must go into this with some level of faith that they are there for you. How many sessions will it take? You will know when they come to you:))
Love and light,
