Have you been hearing the call of your spirit guide? They are trying to reach out to you and aid you on the tumultuous journey that is life. A spirit guide, in Western Spiritualism at least, is a spiritual entity which acts as a guide or protector to a person.
These spirit guides are linked to someone since birth.
But how do you connect with your spirit guide through meditation? Well, that is what I aim to answer in this article. I am going to help you connect with your spirit guide. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in and get started!
How Do You Connect With Your Spirit Guide?
Through meditation you will be able to connect with your personal spirit guide. As you meditate you will be able to enhance your connection with your guide and walk closely beside them on your life path.
Before you start meditating and attempting to contact your spirit guide I recommend that you have a notebook and pen handy. This is so that you can write down your thoughts and experiences after your meditation session.
Just make sure that you set between ten and fifteen minutes aside to prepare for the meditation.
Step 1 – First things first, you need to find a nice quiet place to meditate. Somewhere you are not going to be distracted by your cell phone, exterior disturbances, or people you are living with.
The space you choose to meditate needs to be somewhere that is calming, safe and comfortable to you. On top of that you need to have inner calm and peace before you can meditate in your safe place.
Step 2 – In your quiet meditation spot you now need to move your thoughts away from your inner dialogue and thoughts. Settle your thoughts. Do not think about what you need to do and don’t focus on your worries. Allow the sparks of inspiration to come forward in a quiet state of mind.
If you want to get to a place like this, a place where you have absent thought you may want to watch the lights behind your eyelids. Simply become a spectator in your own mind.
Step 3 – When you have thoughts popping into your mind, it might be a good idea to focus on your breath. Your breathing should be steady and calm. Breathe in deeply through your nose, and out though your mouth.
Imagine the air that you are breathing in is nourishing the very cells of your body and allow yourself to physically and mentally relax further. Allow your worry to slip away with each breath.
Step 4 – In your mind’s eye you should now picture golden rays of light around you. Allow yourself to feel the warmth of these rays.
Imagine these lights coming from above and shining through your head as you are filled up with this warm and energizing light. Welcome this light and allow it to revitalize your mind and body.
Step 5 – In this quiet and relaxed state, think about the things that you are grateful for, all that you love about yourself and things or people in your life. In this positive self loving place you can now open yourself to communicate with the energy around you.
This loving and grateful energy is where your spirit guide lives. This is the time that you can contact them.
With the inner recesses of your mind filled with love and gratitude you are finally ready to enter your sacred garden. This is a safe space within you which is for healing. It is where you can finally contact your spirit guide and connect with them.
What Happens When You Meet Your Spirit Guide?
In this section I am going to talk about getting to know your spirit guide once you have reached a place of love and gratitude. So, without further ado, let’s dive right in and get started!
Recognize Your Sacred Place
When you finally meet your spirit guide, there are a few things that you need to bear in mind. Firstly, in your mind you need to picture a gorgeous garden, magical, and spectacular in every way.
In this garden you can be healed, reach a deep inner calm and get the answers to your questions that you need.
Ask Your Spirit Guide To Reveal Themselves
Now that you are in your sacred place, you can ask your spirit guide to come forward. Ask with your mind filled with the feelings of expectancy and love. Think of it as if you are meeting a dear friend.
Note who your guide is, every detail that you can remember. There are no right and wrong answers to this question. Now, you can ask them for their name.
Understand And Befriend Your Spirit Guide
Now you can start to get to know your spirit guide, within the sacred place of your mind. You can ask them questions or just observe them and the garden around you. It might be a good idea to take note of this interaction and how you feel.
