Spirit Guides are entities that are with us at all times through our physical life. They watch, teach, heal, and help us any way they can and are constantly communicating with us in ways that we don't even recognize. When our conscious or gut is telling us something this is our spirit guide or guides. Spirit guides are persons who have lived many former lifetimes, paid their karmic debts, and advanced beyond a need to reincarnate. Many devotees believe that spirit guides are chosen on "the other side" by human beings who are about to incarnate and wish assistance. You and your guide planned your life on earth before you incarnated. You live the life and your spirit guide helps you along the way. There are many ways to contact your spirit guides. A few are through astral projection, meditation, or lucid dreaming.
