Different Types Of Spirit Guides - The Gatekeeper Guide
Updated 2025.06.18
Do you sense Spirits when they’re around?
Can you see those in Spirit in your dreams, out of your peripheral vision with your eyes closed, or in everyday life?
In the spiritual world, mediums and sensitives are like beacons of light.
Little light towers, scattered about the earth, portals of energy that Loved Ones, Spirit Guides and Angels can use to communicate with their loved ones still on the earth plane.
Whether you are actively using your abilities or not, because you’re reading this post, it’s safe to assume you’re a light tower on this giant map.
You're a portal - and there are energies that are drawn to you.
The light you give off creates an opening for anyone on The Other Side to come through.
Spirits have many reasons for why they may be coming to you, and even if Spirits are not coming to you - other energies may be drawn to you.
People, animals or even certain vibrations.
This is where a Gatekeeper Spirit Guide can help - Gatekeeper Guides help manage the energy coming into your energy field.
They assist with maintaining your energy boundaries and can even facilitate organizing those in Spirit who you connect with.
You have a Gatekeeper Guide and can request them to step forward.
Their role is similar to a Protector Spirit Guide, but the main way they differ is that they facilitate a flow of energy between you and the Other Realms.
They simply help organize what and who gets through and when.

4 Steps To Meet Your Gatekeeper Guide
1. Get into a gentle, meditative state
Inhale and exhale. Light a candle or put on some relaxing music.
Place both feet on the floor, sit down and place both hands, palm up on your lap. Rest your gaze.
Take some deep breaths.
Imagine energy coming up from the earth, flowing into your feet, and visualize yourself breathing this earth energy up through your body.
Imagine this earth energy swirling up your legs, hips, torso, shoulders, neck and head.
2. Ask for your Gatekeeper Guide’s name
Ask telepathically in your mind.
“Gatekeeper Spirit Guide, please tell me your name.”
Notice what you hear, notice any images you see in your mind’s eye. You can often trust the very first thing that pops into your head.
If you don’t get a name right away, wait for their name to be revealed to you shortly.
3. Ask for your Gatekeeper Guide to step forward in your mind’s eye
While resting your gaze, visualize your Gatekeeper Spirit Guide coming forward.
Notice their gender, what they’re wearing and any colored lights around time.
4. Give your Gatekeeper Guide a job
Internally, in your mind, tell your guide what you need from them.
What types of Spirits, energies and vibrations do you need help with metering?
What vibrations, energies or Spirits do you want to allow in your energy field?
What would you like left at the gate?
Make sure your Spirit Guide knows who is and is not allowed inside the gates of your energy field.
These are your energy boundaries and they can help create firmer boundaries.
If you are already a practicing medium, Gatekeeper Guides can also help the Spirits coming through line up in order, encourage them not to talk over one another and help you sort out which spirits come to your sessions - as they work only with the highest energy and Light energy Spirits who have crossed.
You may notice an energy shift right after practicing these steps.
Call your Gatekeeper Guide forward whenever you're not sure how to discern who is who spiritually or if you’d like to refine what is getting into your energy field.
