The first step in working with your guides is contacting them. Your guides are eager to help you and simple meditation techniques are the easiest way to make your first contact.

 

Find a quiet place, you can light some candles and incense, and get comfortable. Clear you mind and relax you body.

Some of us have special "places" we go each time we meditate, whether it be a forest or a beach.  This is a wonderful place for you first contact, as it is a place of comfort and peace to you. Otherwise you can create a space in especially for meeting you guide, or just keep you mind clear and open.

You will feel or see the presence of you guide. Some guides take human form, some are just light. Each one is unique. You may see or feel the presence of serveral guides. This is completly normal. Once you see/feel the guide/s are present get used to their energy.

Sit and enjoy the peacefulness of their presence.

 Now you can begin to ask them questions.

You can ask thier name, or if they have a message for you.

You can also ask for them to touch you. ( Mine taps me on the shoulder when she has a message and I need to make contact with her. ) 

You may feel just feel that peaceful energy again and know it is time.

When you feel you are done, thank your guide/s.  Slowly come out of you meditative state. Open your eyes and note how peaceful you feel, and know that you can now contact you guides whenever you want.

 

 

 

 

 

First, dim the lights.  You can play some soft meditation music if you like, but it is not a must.  Light a candle, whichever color you prefer, I use purple.  Slow your breathing, noticing the rhythm, the movement, the sound.  Relax, feet flat on the floor, arms loosely at your side, on your lap...wherever they feel comfortable.  Close your eyes.  Starting at your feet, tell each body part to go to sleep.  Relax every muscle as you go.  Once you are relaxed, picture yourself walking down a quiet dirt road.  On the right sid eof you is a forest, you can hear the birds singing their delightful songs.  On the left is an open meadow where the deer are feeding on the flowers.  They stop and watch you as you go by, but they are not frightened of you.  They almost nod their head as if to say hello.  As you are walking along, you notice a trail leading off into the woods.  You step off the road and onto the path.  As you follow it, you see the sun dancing through the trees, making beautiful shadows on the ground around you.  The squirrels, chipmunks, and other wood creatures scurry back and forthin front of you.  It is warm, it is calm....this is a peaceful place.  You notice the path turns and you hear water rushing.  The path has taken to following alongside a stream rushing past you.  The sound of the water is so relaxing, you almost want to stop and sit.  Instead you continue to  follow the path.  You come to a point, where the only way to continue is to cross across  a fallen tree.  You step up, knowing you will not fall, and cross steadily.  On the other side the path continues, and so do you.  It leads you to a rock ledge.  It is not very high, only as high as the tops of the trees that are growing below.  You then notice that someone has carved steps into the ledge, and you begin to descend.  You enter a cool mist, and your body feels as light and airy as a feather floating down.  Eventually, the mist clears and you find you are at the bottom, and the path begins again.  After a few minutes of walking some more you come to a clearing.  In this clearing you see a circle made of large stones.  They look very inviting....go ahead....step inside.  How many stones are there? Are they large stones towering over you, or are they smaller stones?  Are they flat, carved?  What color are they?  After looking around you decide to sit a while.  Take a seat in the middle, close your eyes.  Listen to all the sounds, feel the sunlight warming your whole body.  You feel yourself glowing with happiness and peace.  Without opening your eyes, you become aware theat someone has joined you.  Don't speak, don't open your eyes, just enjoy the presence.  When you are ready turn to see who it is.  This is a spirit guide. Do they have a message for you?  Now is the time to ask questions.  What is their name? What do they look like? Do they have a message?   After you are done talking be sure to thank your guide for his/her time, and assure him/her that you will return.  Be specific if you can.  When you are ready leave the circle and go back to the forest.  You will follow the path back, up the ledge, down the river and back onto the dirt road.  You notice the sun has started to set.  When you are ready, open your eyes, you are back in your chair, and you feel calm and rested, and now have the wisdom given to you by your guide.  Don't forget to ground and center!
