Spirit Guide Contracts: Soul Agreements
BY NICOLE LAU
Your Sacred Pre-Birth Agreements
Before you were born, your soul made agreements—with your spirit guides, with other souls, with the universe itself. These soul contracts outline what you came to learn, who you came to meet, what you agreed to experience, and how your guides agreed to support you. Understanding these contracts reveals the deeper purpose behind your life's events and your guides' unwavering commitment to you.
Your spirit guides are not random assignments—they are chosen partners who agreed to walk with you through this lifetime. They witnessed your soul's planning session, helped you design your life blueprint, and committed to supporting you through every challenge and triumph you chose to experience.
This article will teach you about soul contracts with spirit guides, how to access and understand these agreements, and how to work consciously with the contracts that shape your life.

The Bottom Line
Before you were born, you and your spirit guides made sacred agreements. You chose your lessons, they committed to support you, and together you designed a life that would serve your soul's evolution. These contracts are not fate—they're possibilities chosen from love and courage.
Your guides honor their agreements completely. They never abandon you, never judge you, and always support your highest good. Understanding your contracts helps you see the bigger picture, trust the process, and work consciously with the plan your soul designed.
You are not a victim of your life—you are the author. Your guides are your co-authors. Together, you wrote this story. Trust it. Live it. Fulfill it.
Before birth, you chose. Your soul was brave. You selected lessons. You picked your guides. They agreed to support. Contracts were made. Sacred and binding. You forgot when you incarnated. But guides remember. They honor every agreement. Trust them. Trust your contracts. You chose this. For your growth. For your soul. It's all perfect. Even when it's hard. Especially then.
