"When you decide to work with spirit guides, you change the rules that govern your life and allow it to become easier. Through these suggested practices, you'll begin to feel the support that the Universe intends for you." - From the book

Author and psychic Sonia Choquette has worked with spirit guides for decades, believing that they are available to all. However, while everyone has the *potential* to be guided, these beings must be invited in order for their help to be activated in our lives.

In her book Ask Your Guides: Connecting to Your Divine Support System, Choquette serves as a cosmic tour guide, preparing readers to navigate the wide world of spirit, including angels and your Higher Self. She explains the difference between Guardian Angels, Archangels, and the Ministry of Angels while describing what it is like to live with angelic influences.

In addition to angels and your Higher Self, the author introduces eight different types of spirit guides:

* Spirit Guides of the Nature Kingdom - Also known as elementals, these guides are spirits of earth, water, fire, and air. They are often known as gnomes, sprites, sylphs, devas, and salamanders and each provide a particular energy depending on the element they're associated with. For example, Choquette says that fire elementals-also known as salamanders (which are not the same as the reptile)-love being watched. In fact, if you ignore them by walking away from a fire, they could burn the place down!

* Runners - These handy guides help you find misplaced or lost items and connect you with things you seek. According to the author, Runners are indigenous souls who once inhabited the area where you reside. For example, Americans often have Native American Runners while those living in New Zealand would have a Maori Runners. They help you find bargains, parking spaces, and even tables at restaurants when you don't have reservations.

* Helpers - These beings are souls of those who have crossed over, often showing up when you're stumped, blocked, or discouraged. They assist with specific tasks, special projects, or hobbies and are especially helpful when they had some level of expertise when they were alive. By helping humans, they are raising their own vibrational frequency in the afterlife.

* Healer Guides - According to Choquette, Healer guides come in two forms: Those who have been healers in past incarnations and seek to help you with healing and those who come from high energetic frequencies but may never been in human form.

* Teacher Guides - Unlike Runners or Helpers, Teacher Guides aren't concerned with the mundane activities day-to-day life. Rather, these beings are devoted to helping us discover life purpose, karma, and soul lessons.

* Animal Guides - As part of the teaching world, animals help us connect to the natural world and offer advice based on their unique characteristics and behaviors. They often appear in the dream state, but also speak to us through actual encounters and synchronistic events.

* Joy Guides - Often mischievous, these guides are inclined to show up when we're bent out of shape, immersed in self-importance, or taking life way too seriously. They soften hearts and satisfy the inner child, inviting generosity, acceptance, and playfulness.

* Light Beings - These high-energy beings are here to assist in raising personal and planetary vibrations.

Choquette also discusses negative entities and how to neutralize them, as well as consulting various divination methods for work with spirit guides.

Written in her characteristic engaging style, Ask Your Guides: Connecting to Your Divine Support System invites us all to take advantage of the spiritual support system that God has designed for our growth and well-being. Obviously, no one can say for sure if the spiritual kingdom is divvied up as Choquette describes, but it's a fascinating proposition that there are spiritual guides waiting to provide help and insight for every situation, if we but take the time to ask.

Since this is the field that I work in, I usually read as many of these types of books that come out, to see what others are saying and teaching.

I was very pleased with the material that I found in this book, "Ask Your Guides."

You are not alone! There are Angels and Spirit Guides that are always with you. And, in this book, Sonia Choquette teaches you how to prepare, meet and communicate with your Angels and Guides.

Each of us has a support team from higher realms. By following the simple instructions and guidance in Sonia's book, you too, can learn to work with your own "Divine Support System" to enrich your life in many ways.

Sonia writes in a style that is very easy to read. Her instructions are simple and straightforward, leading one gently into communion with the Angels and Guides that are always by our sides, waiting to help and guide us through this journey called life.

I especially liked the fact that she points out that contact with our unseen friends can be very subtle. There are so many ways that our Angels and Guides can communicate with us. You may not see a flash of light, hear a booming voice or have your Master Guide show up in your living room. But, if you follow the methods she presents with love and a desire to communicate, you too, can connect.

This book by Sonia Choquette was a very unusual one for me to read; I am a novice at things like angels, spirit guides, and other divine messengers. I found this book gentle, easy to understand, and a great comprehensive introduction to the various types of spiritual beings. The author also covered things like FAQs about spirit guides, how to prepare to contact spirit guides, names of (and naming) spirit guides, and so much more. It also covered issues such as common objections or problems when beginning to learn about this area, such as negative entities, and myths about spirit guides.

It definitely is a New Age book, but a very grounded and very helpful one. The author is so sincere and approachable that I felt as though I was having a trusted friend explain things to me in a way I could understand.

I would think that everyone who was open would find something to learn here, but I can say for certain that beginners will understand and be as comfortable as one can be with this area when learning about it for the first time.

I enjoyed and felt comfortable by "Ask Your Guides" and would highly recommend it.

Sonia Choquette: Ask Your Guides

In this book, Sonia not only discusses the various angelic influences on our lives, but also goes into detail regarding the different roles that spirit guides can play in our lives, from "runners" who help us with practical details (yes, like finding a parking space!) to those who help us in a teaching capacity to transcend our egos and become more consciously aware.

I bought Sonia's book about a year ago after a psychic reading in which I was introduced briefly to one of my guides, and it was extremely useful in helping me meet and interact with the various spirits who form my guide team. I would certainly recommend it as an excellent overview of this subject. However, I'd also recommend that you read a variety of sources in this regard. This is mainly because interacting with spirit guides can be like interacting with people on the physical plane - we all have different ways of communicating with others, and what works for one person may not work for another. I certainly found it helpful to read about the different approaches that others have used, and to integrate these into a system that works for me. Ultimately, what matters is developing a strong and clear connection with your guides, and this can be achieved in multiple ways. Apart from Sonia's work in this regard, I've also benefited from the wisdom of Andrea Hess, Slade Roberson and Erin Pavlina. Currently, only Andrea has a book available, but I would encourage you to also visit her blog, as well as those of Slade and Erin.

When it comes to making the decision to buy a book like Sonia's and invest the time and effort into making a connection with your guides, possibly the most important questions needing answering are: Does it "work"? And is it worth it? The answers are: yes. And yes. It may feel strange at first to attempt to connect to your guides, especially since many people worry when they start whether they are really connecting or just making it all up. It is important to remember here that, because our minds bridge the physical and spiritual worlds, our guides use our thoughts and imaginations to connect with us. We have also been used to our guides presence since they've been communicating with us all along - we've just called it "a feeling", or "intuition". At the start it can then definitely feel like we are making it up because it seems so "normal" to us - there are no big booming voices from above! As you persevere, though, you will be able to tell the difference between communication from your guides and your own thoughts as they do have different energy signatures. As you learn more about guides from books like Sonia's, you'll have personal experience that convinces you that it "works". And in terms of it being worth the effort... well, the proof is in the pudding! Your life will be enriched by having access to a group of spiritual beings who love you, support you and guide you towards your highest path and purpose.

Sonia Choquette has managed to capture the essence of spirit guides and the role they play in our lives in a manner that is easy-to-read and comprehend. In this book, she describes the various roles of guides and methods of harnessing their input and energy to make progress in your day-to-day life as well as your spiritual journey to Self. This is an excellent resource to which you will refer often.

What touches me most about the book is that she repeats many things that I have heard from other people whom I consider spiritual teachers. It served as a confirmation that what I had heard and experienced was true and common to all, even if unacknowledged.

Choquette describes in pleasing detail the guardian angels, archangels, ministry of angels, and numerous types of spirit guides, offering examples of interaction with each throughout the book. She encourages you to learn to trust in your spirit and what it has to offer as you develop your intuition. While reading, there will surely be some points at which one raises their eyebrow and says, "Hmmm... really?" However, if you follow her techniques, your spirit will guide you to truth.

The words in this book flow into your spirit like a welcome drink of cool water in the summer, one that your soon-to-be recognized guides will undoubtedly sip with you as you read. I know mine did.

This is the kind of book that you will not let anyone borrow! My copy is written, highlighted,and marked all over the place. I have read it three times already and still find useful information that i did not pick up on the previous time around. The book is a complete class on how to contact your spiritual guides, how to talk to them and how to summon them in when you need them the most. Through the meditation provided by Sonia, right before going to sleep i asked that my spirit guide reveal itself to me through my dreams. I dreamed all night of an angel called Mathew. Since then I have had many confirmations that Mathew not only is my guide, he is my protector and my connection to the universe. This is the best spiritual awakening anyone can ever experience. My life has been impacted in the most wonderful way since I have made my connection to Mathew. I don't think I would have understood it had I not read this book nor would I have made my contact with Mathew in such a wonderful way. All I can say is that everyone I love will get a copy of this book for christmas. So don't be afraid of what's "out there". Embrace the fact that you were meant to find this book so click "add to shopping cart" and listen to your sixth sense...it is talking to you right now. Your spirit guide is waiting to meet you!

If you want an explaination of how to connect to your angels, spirit guides, other higher entities and your higher-self buy this book and read it. Sonia does a terrfic job of filling in the details of how to work with all of these entities on a daily basis and lead a blessed six sensory life. This book is especially good if you have ever attended any of Sonia's classes in person.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading `Ask your Guides' by Sonia Choquette.

Sonia has an enjoyable style of writing which is light, balanced and full of examples to demonstrate the information being presented.

The structure of this book gives clear and concise explanations of the different types of spirit and guides in each chapter, and exercises for the reader at the end of each chapter to practise on the topic just read about (which I had good results with).

A wonderful book to begin connecting to spirit and guide energy, and taking it further to utilise the support and guidance they offer to us.

This is a wonderful resource that Im sure I will refer to many times in the future.

This has to be one of the best books I've read on getting in touch with the "spiritual support system" that surrounds us every step we take through life. I've read several books by other Hayhouse authors, and seemed to consistently struggle to develop a clearer and deeper connection with my spirit guides/teachers and the angels around me. I came across Sonia's book while doing a random Amazon search, and was honestly a bit hesitant to buy it since I knew nothing about the author. I suppose it was the subliminal "push" I got after coming back to this page for the fourth or fifth time that led me to get it, and I couldn't be more delighted that I did.

Though Sonia uses a lot of scenarios, case studies, and personal accounts (pretty much like many other authors of this genre), she still provided far more information about the many types of angels and guides around us than any other author I have read yet. As I worked my way through the book, absorbing the information and meditating on it as often as I could, I actually DID feel closer to my guides! Imagine my surprise when a spirit guide whom I've felt close to for years finally told me his real name...all this time I had addressed him by a nickname I conjured up that was comfortable and familiar. Fortunately he didn't seem to mind, though we are both relieved that I am a much better listener than I was before. I have also come a lot closer to sensing the presence of angels around me and this awareness is perhaps one of the most beautiful gifts Choquette could ever give me.

The book is very readable, highly informative, and does actually provide you with instruction on how to get more in touch with your guides, angels, and your higher self. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their spiritual connections, and I've even urged several people I know to read it. I was so attached to this book that I actually put off reading the last chapter for several days just because I didn't want it to end (as silly as that may sound). It will warm your heart, strengthen your skills, and renew the faith those who had lost their way (like myself). :)

This is a transforming and empowering work and it has opened up my life in so many ways! I am so
grateful and the joy that has been brought into my world since reading and rereading this book cannot be completely expressed. I have recommended it to many people and I hope it touches them in the way it has me.
