Speaking with Your Spirit Guide
| December 11, 2008 | Posted by admin under Guides, Souls, Evil & God, Using Meditation |
Our spirit guides are entities that are no longer (or have not been) part of the physical realm. Guides posses knowledge that can greatly aid us in our journey through life. Not only can they aid us, but they can also provide companionship when we are not sure where to turn. Our guides are always waiting to contact us, and likely you have already spoken with your guide (we actually have potentially many guides and can “borrow” guides), but were not aware of it. Our guides are waiting for us to initiate a contact so we can have an open communication with them. The following introduction will get you started.
Sit down, preferably at the end of your bed or against a wall, back straight feet pulled up near your chest but relaxed and feet flat on your floor, head up but not right against the wall. Personally I like to sit up when I meditate. With the top of the head facing the heavens the crown chakra is unobstructed. If you do prefer lying down, that is fine.
Imagine tree roots coming out of your feet and extending down into the ground. These roots continue to burrow into the ground almost to the earths mantle. Use whatever visualization works, as long you envision roots going from the soles of your bare feet deep into the earth. Those roots then branch out, rooting you to the earth. Then envision another root coming out of your tail bone and also burrowing into the ground, same as above, and rooting you into the ground.
Now imagine green light coming up from the earth through these roots as you breath in, filling your pelvis with green light on each breath in. As you exhale imagine this green light moving up your spine and out the top of your head. Do this for about 20 breaths.
Next imagine gold light coming from above into the top of your head with each deep inhale. The gold light moves through your body along the spine and out your feet into the earth on each exhale. Do this also for about 20 deep breathes.
Then imagine on each inhale gold light coming into your head and going to your pelvis and green light coming up through your roots also to your pelvis. Then, as you exhale push this green-gold light up your spine out the top of your head. Do this at least 15 times.
Then imagine a big gold egg shape – about the size of a phone booth. Step into this egg. This gold shell creates a protective aura around us. Imagine for a moment this egg is a totally positive ball of energy that protects you and nourishes you.
Make sure you do all of the above before trying to communicate!
Now that you have done this you should be feeling very relaxed, and like you don’t want to open your eyes, but you can if you want.
Say in a quiet voice that “I am willing, able and ready to meet a spirit guide.” Say that “I want to speak with my spirit guide and I seek their counsel.”
Talk with your guide, and at the end thank them. Ask them also if there are any other guides that you should speak with.
A FEW THINGS TO NOTE: You may hear a physical voice but likely not. He/She will speak to you in your mind. Some guides are easier to hear than others. If you are having trouble communicating with the first guide that presents itself, ask for another and give your reason. The guide will not be offended. After doing the meditation most of your conscious thoughts will have subsided, but a few will flutter back into your head. Just push them aside and try to listen to with to your guide.
You may feel at first like it is just a trick of your mind but you will soon realize that it is not…he/she will say things that you know are not your own thoughts. Also, we generally think in our own voice, so having a different voice in your mind will make it easy to see you are not just talking with yourself.
Every time I talk with a spirit guide or angel I am left with this amazing feeling of being filled with “tingly” energy, almost like the butterflies we get when we are around someone we love. It is a completely positive experience.
IF YOU FEEL NOTHING HAS HAPPENED do not worry. You may need to some more meditation or clear some internal blockages. I will soon post more exercises that will aid you in this. These will include love and gratitude exercises as well as exercises to clear your chakras.
Well now I’m excited! Previously I had talked to my Spirit Guides, asked them to look out for me, and generally just put out my feelings, hopes, and wishes to them, in hopes of having their deeper wisdom to navigate me through this life safely. But this means I can learn to hear their responses! I’d love to get advice from them. Thanks so much for sharing. I can’t wait to try this out. Woo hoo!
They are entities just like us (but on a different plane), and we can acutally converse with them. Just like us at times certain guides will be busy doing their own business and work, but we always have a guide by us, or have access to many. And you can hear their responses if you initiate contact. They want this to happen.
Often they may have an accent or give you a sensory feeling (a smell of their perfurme or even a cigar is common) to let you know that they are something apart from you. But the dialogue will likely take place inside. they also may show you a picture (by flashes or on sort of the movie screen of your mind) of them or something that is significant to you or something you wanted to know.
Let the experience come, don’t force it. If you need some further help it, or have questions, let me know, and I will put up some further posts that will likely help everyone.
This blog is of particular interest to me and I would be interested in your response. When I was a little girl, my Grandmother used to tell me when I needed spiritual guidance to pray to a dead relative. In that I had no known (to me) dead relatives at that age, this seemed like a weird thing to do.
In adulthood, I have received various forms of communication, which is truly difficult for me to describe here, mostly while I am asleep. During the day I think about what concerns me that I wish to have an answer to and right before falling asleep I meditate on this…and almost without fail, I awaken the next morning literally being told the answer or “just knowing” what to do.
Over the past two years my daughter and I began researching our family history, which has been one of the most illuminating experiences ever, especially the treasure trove of ancestors I have uncovered.
Of late, I have become convinced that it is any one of this multitude of long gone ancestors that are responding to my requests…something else I “just know.” This is like going full circle with my Grandmother telling me as a child to pray to the dead relatives.
I could give specifics if requested, but that is not the purpose of this comment today. What I would like to put to you is this…the spirit guides…perhaps are they truly everyone’s ancestors “at work” in the spirit world?
In that I have only known about the majority of these people as of late, I think they have been there all along, just now being given faces and names. As such, even if one does not have a vast knowledge of their lineage, that does not mean the ancestors are not assisting them. I very much welcome your take on this.
