No Candles, No Crystals, Just 5 Fun Ways to Connect with Your Guides

Don’t get me wrong — I LOVE candles and crystals. But connecting with your Spirit Guides doesn’t have to be all rituals and expectations. In fact, it can be playful, relaxed, and downright fun!

If you’ve been feeling disconnected from your Guides or think the only way to connect is through elaborate rituals, this post is for you. I’m sharing five fun, accessible strategies to help you establish a deeper, more personal connection with your spiritual guides — turning the experience into one of joy, curiosity, and discovery.

Connecting with your Spirit Guides doesn’t have to be all rituals and expectations, it can be playful and fun!

1. Embrace the Power of Playfulness

Children have an effortless way of being present and playful, and that naturally keeps their energy high. You can tap into the same energy. Laugh at yourself, dance in your living room, or do something delightfully silly just because it feels good.

Think about activities that spark joy — a mini dance party, singing along to your favorite song, or playing a board game. Play raises your vibration and opens the door to a closer connection with your Guides. Remember, they love seeing you happy!

2. Play with Your Guides

Connection doesn’t always have to be serious. Try a little energy game:

• Close your eyes and invite your Guides to step closer. Notice how the energy around you shifts — does it feel warmer, lighter, or buzz with excitement?

• Now ask them to step away and notice the difference again.

This simple exercise makes your connection tangible, playful, and interactive. It’s a fun way to get to know them, just like meeting a new friend.

3. Engage in Creativity

Creative activities naturally relax you and open intuitive channels. Painting, knitting, scrapbooking, dancing, or journaling can all put you into a state where guidance flows effortlessly.

You might be deep in a project, feeling joy or excitement, and suddenly — ping! — an idea or insight from your Guides appears. Creativity is a bridge that helps you tune into their messages in a relaxed and joyful way.

4. Have a Regular ‘Meet-Up’ with Your Guides

Consistency strengthens connection. Some clients schedule “Monday Morning Business Meetings” with their Guides, while others enjoy morning tea or quiet check-ins.

Even 10–15 minutes a week creates familiarity and builds rapport — like hanging out with a newly-met friend. These little rituals make your Guides’ presence feel normal, natural, and fun.

5. Listen During Mundane Chores

Some of the clearest messages come when your mind isn’t busy overthinking. Folding laundry, washing dishes, or even tidying up can be the perfect background for noticing guidance.

Personally, I hear my Astral team most clearly while washing dishes by the window. The combination of relaxation, little mental effort, and a view outside makes connection effortless and enjoyable.

Connecting with your Guides doesn’t have to be complicated, solemn, or rigid. Play, create, and leave space for magic to slip in.

Bonus Tip: Make Signs a Game

Asking for signs doesn’t have to be serious. Turn it into a playful treasure hunt. Ask for a feather, a certain song, or a number pattern — and watch how often they appear. Your Guides love playing, and this lighthearted approach makes connection joyful instead of pressured. I wrote more about it here
