Hiya everyone, I would like a bit of advice over spirit guides..I have always believed that I had "something" but have never really known where to start to develop it. I feel that maybe by connecting with my guide it could help me along..but the question is, how do I do this? Does someone else have to help me or can I do some exercises to help? Sorry if it sounds silly but I am new to the development side of things! Rach x |

Rach, Please don't ever worry that any question will be silly, we are all here to learn and if you dont ask you will never know the answer. Now I remember distinctly a meeting your Spirit Guide Meditation on the site somewhere - I have been looking for it for a wee while but can't find it  . As soon as I do find it I will bump it up for you, Love Nova xxxxxxxxxxx  |

Thanks Nova, Do you think meditation is the place to start? I have never tried it before so would like to have a read up on it. Thanks Rach x |

Definately Rach - we all find different ways to meditate - I personally need the full works to switch off. I have my incense burning, I usually use Nag Champa, some meditation music on and then just empty your mind. A good friend said to me to imagine a vacuum sucking up all your thoughts until your mind is empty, The only other things I can advise is that you are sitting comfortably and most of all relax. Make sure you ground and protect first too (you will find a full explanation of grounding and protecting on the menu at the side), I hope this helps. Please let us know how you get on, Love Nova xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx |

I, like Nova, just know we have a meet your spirit guide meditation here somewhere, an I have one on a sister site (or maybe even in my email) that I can go and find.

Hi Rach, Well I am darned if I can find the thing I was looking for. I have a meditation, but it is a guided one, and if I post it up here, it will confuse the heck out of you, because it is written so that it can be cut and paste into a chat room in tiny lumps .... However, I am hoping that we will be doing some development cirlces in the chat room once Nova and I have figured out how to cross the time zone boundaries and include everyone in the group that wants to participate, and I think that a meeting your guides one will be one of the first things we do. In the mentime, have a think about this - you can do it without any experience at anything whatso ever..... Most of us that walk the lightened path and hope to serve spirit and connect also have an inner sense of calm when in the great outdoors or with animals....The animal and nature energy that is around us wherever we are is amazing, and can be a lot easier to connect with when you first start out than trying to get them upstairs to come down the alley and talk to us. Native American Indian cultures faith's (and for that matter most of the indiginous peoples of the world) foundation is on honouring and respecting mother earth and listening to the messages that present themselves to us in our day today lives. So it would stand to reason that we should all be able to learn to work with spirit animal guides. OK - so how do we do that? Well to start off with you don't need to do anything so focussed as sitting with a candle, you can simply take a walk outside and pay attention to things that present themselves to you. To make it easier, you could say a short dedication to your walk bfore yous tart, but it s really not vital when you are starting out. Remember you are not hoping to have a conversation with anyone or anything in spirit, merely asking to be shown anything that is relevant to you. You should try and make am ental note of things that stand out to you on your walk and repetitions almost certainly are a pointer in the direction for you at any given time. I have two wonderful little books by a chap called Ted Andrews called Animal Speak & More ANimal speak - they work a little like a dream dictionary, in that you look up the animal that seems to have popped up out of nowhere and you can see the native american indian symbolism and see how you can apply it in your life. Why not have a go.....the weekend approaches, can you find half an hour to go for a walk in the park? Even if nothing jumps out at you, it will be good for you to be outside in the fresh air, and will also indicate to your guides that you are interested in taking steps in regard your development - and therefore giving them the green light to move closer. You don't have to do this walking on your own either, you only have to be calm and still on the inside and pay attention to you whats around you. I used to walk in the woods, and then sit on a bench with a cup of coffee from a flask - autumn is one of my favourite times of year to be outdoors, there is so much going on in nature as they all get ready to go to sleep for the winter. If you're not comfortable with that, you could say a little prayer at bedtime and say to spirit, please send me an animal totem, (you can even be specific and say, send me a frog - or whatever LOL) send it three times tomorrow so that I don't miss it. You can make this little request extra special by dedicating it to those you love on the earth plane and asking those you love in spirit to help your guides. You might think its a bit odd, but you wait and with time spirit will send you these little clues,and you will laugh at their ingenuity - I have had butterlies in december (I like to challenge my guide sometimes, he has a great sense of humour) they through as a song on the radio, an ad on TV and a ladies earings falling out on the tube right in front of me. Of course if you request a certain animal for yourself - that comes from your inner intuition too - so look up that animal and see what its gifts and messges are for you. Give it a go if you like, you can come back and share what you get too if you like, and I of course will look up your animals for you in my lil books (or anyone lse reading htis and wanting to have a go).  |

The way I met my guide was on a meditation walk. If you would like me to give you the info then just holler and I will type it out for you. This one may not suit you but hey you gotta try first lol. But you should realise that you may not meet your guide for years if ever, or you may meet him at the first meditation you do. Let me know if you want me to type out the way I did my med.

Hi Polly If you want to type it up and put it under Meditation Exercises then (if you don't mind) even if it is not what Rach is looking for I think plenty of other members might like to try, Love Nova xxxxxxxxxxxx |

Hi Everyone, Sorry for not replying straight away, as Im sure you all know how busy things can get in day to day life - the time just slips away! I am a bit unsure if now would be the right time to try and start meditation as there is a lot of things and stresses going on at the moment and I dont feel as though I would be able to relax properly to concentrate. But I may give it a try when I have a nice peaceful hour or so to myself this week - and Ill let you know how I get on! Thanks Rach xx |

You mentioned a frog in your reply to Rach and I laughed, only because I have never seen a frog in the 5 years living in Spain. I have asked for a feather which I was given, I have asked for a shiny new coin - I found that on the kitchen floor when we came in from being out all day. Anyway I decided to ask for a frog!!! Yesterday afternoon whilst making dinner I was looking out of the kitchen window daydreaming as usual. I looked down into the yard and thought to myself ugh that looks like a cucaracha (cockroach) and went for the spray - this stuff is lethal! I opened the back door and shook the can (keeping my eye on the 'thing' I bent down to spray it and lo and behold it jumped ..............it was the tiniest frog that I have ever seen - and I've seen a lot in the UK as we always had ponds. It must have been an inch long. I called John to take a look and he said "where on earth did he come from" (no ponds around here). Just thort I would let you know Rach that it does really work haha.

Hi Rach! i completely understand where you are coming from. I could never really understand how to connect with my guides (let alone find true time to meditate)! And when I did meditate, meeting my guides wasn't exactly on the top of THEIR agendas! I began to ask them everynight as I went to bed to present themselves as they felt I was ready and in time they all did. all within a period of a year. I learned that there were 4 predonminent ones. I can feel that there are more, but I also feel for myself, that there are many "part-timers" in my case at this time in my life. guides that are in-steppers that are here for a particular time frame to help me through specifics. As simple as I am and and as Simple as my life is, I know that what I must learn is complicated. It's just gut feelings mostly. So give that a try, at night before you fall asleep, ask them to come to you as they feel fit and they will, I am certain. Maybe not tomorrow, but eventually, and very, very clearly! Martine |
