Meditation can be a great way to meet your spirit guides.  Those experienced with meditation may sit quietly in sacred space in their home, office or in nature or they may choose to play spiritual music.  Others, however, may experience difficulties staying focused and need the benefit of guidance during meditation so that the voice and words lead them towards the purpose of their meditation.  Below are a few guided meditations I found on YouTube that include a variety of styles, music and voices.  I hope you find one of them helpful.  From time to time, I will post more, so check back often, or subscribe to my blog at the bottom of the right column and get notices in real time.

Bright Blessings!

In my previous post, we created a form and chose a name so that we could connect to our Spirit Guide. The next step is to actually communicate with our Guide.  "But", you ask, "if I don't sense my Spirit Guide, how can I communicate with them?" Well then, let's begin there!

Sensing Your Spirit Guide

This exercise will enable you to sense the energy of your Spirit Guide. Seat yourself comfortably in chair, bench or on your bed.  Ask your Guide to come sit beside you. At this point you may or may not feel

I get a lot of messages and questions from frustrated folks that try so hard to meet their Guides and don't ever get validation that their Guide(s) are there.  So, here is a different approach you may find helpful.  You are going to make up a Guide and then treat this Guide as though it were really there. An "imaginary friend" if you will.  Hang with me and hear me through.  The purpose of this exercise is to allow you to have a sense of control and something to identify with instead of just hanging wondering what you should expect.  Also, your Guides will actually be helping you with this exercise so you will be co-creating a form to assist in building a functional link you to your Guide.

Getting Started

To get started, you need to be very clear with your intent. It is not our intent in this exercise to create a "thought form" which in simple terms is a manifestation of energy created to serve a particular task.  Instead,

Once a person begins communication with Spirit Guides, one does need to make certain it is a "Good Guide".  Always remember that a Guide should be there to "GUIDE" you, NOT bully your or manipulate you.  If the guide you are interacting with seems to be all about what's in it for them, or urges you to do negative and inappropriate things,then by all means you need to break the communication with that particular spirit, because it is NOT a Spirit Guide, but rather a low level spirit entity.  Basically it is a poser attempting to prey on your naivety and hoping that it won't get busted.

What sort of warning signals should you look for? 

If the guide does a lot of ego stroking, be wary.  Examples of this would be any of the traditional relationship manipulations:

It is true that part of being a Psychic or Medium is communicating with Spirit Guides.  However, the great news is ANYONE can communicate with Spirit Guides and even better we ALL have our own personal Spirit Guides that stand at the ready to be of service to us .  People often say their Spirit Guides don't talk to them but that isn't true.  It is more a matter of knowing how to recognize when they are talking to you.

So how do we establish communication with our Spirit Guides and live a "Guided" life?

• First of all, pay attention to your dreams.  Before we incarnated, we had a team of Guides that were in place to support us on this Earth journey.  Knowing that we communicate on the spiritual level but become denser and less capable of communicating with spiritual beings once we came to Earth and in fact, forget completely about them, a safety mechanism was built into us to insure constant access --

I've been working a temp position that involves a 40 minute commute.  I generally allow about 20 minutes extra on the drive so that I arrived in plenty of time to find parking and get my day pass from the security desk.  Yesterday, things just didn't click and I found myself running about 15 minutes behind.  Halfway there, I realized that the lot I park in is pretty small and would likely be filled up by the time I got there.  That triggered a round of angst because that lot is the only one that takes a credit/debit card for parking fees and I had no cash on me. As I spun myself up, I caught myself, took a deep breath and grounded and turned to the power of positive thinking. I WOULD find a parking space on my preferred lot.  Immediately I got the number 86.  I wasn't certain what part of the lot would have spot 86 since I had never parked in it but I took comfort and drove on.  As I pulled into the lot, I immediately spied an empty spot on the second row and you guessed it, it turned out to be 86!  I was so thankful.  It so happens there was another spot nearby that would have been easier to maneuver my car into but I wasn't about to take any chances.  I parked in spot 86.  And today, when I got to the lot, guess what spot was available again? Yep, spot 86!  Thank the Guides!  You are greatly appreciated!
