Contacting Your Spirit Guide Through Meditation

Each and every one of us has spirit guides whether or not we are aware of their presence. Many of us have felt at times that we are being protected or guided by a presence without being able to define it any more clearly than that. Being able to find and contact your spirit guide is not only exhilarating but helps in gaining insights and clarity which in turn can make our life path a little easier as well as giving us greater direction and purpose.

Contacting Your Spirit Guide for Beginners

It is possible for everyone to make contact with their spirit guide but for most of us, unless we have strongly developed psychic abilities, it will take a little time and effort. Think of it this way – all the ‘phone lines are in place, all you have to do is pick up the phone, dial and speak. But at this point in time you don’t know how the handset works or the number to dial.

There is a short cut route of using a skilled medium to act as the bridge between you and your spirit guide. The medium will be able to pass on any message that your guide has for you as well as being able to answer many question you may have for your guide. A session of this kind can be highly beneficial but has nowhere near the same amount of satisfaction or power of being able to contact your spirit guide directly yourself.

Additionally, unfortunately there are many individuals out there who are happy to take your money but are actually unable to deliver the goods. As you have no way of proving whether the medium is passing real or manufactured messages there will likely as not always be some element of doubt in your mind. When you make direct contact with your spirit guide this uncertainty will disappear especially as you become more and more adept at communication.

Finding Spirit Guides through Meditation

You will need to learn to meditate. That may sound like a simple statement but learning to do this will take at least weeks and possibly months. You will also need to meditate on a very regular basis, daily if possible. Learning spirit guide meditation is a whole subject within itself and there are many books, courses, classes and other resources for guidance.

Some people learn to meditate very quickly. Spirit guide meditation is often explained as emptying the mind which is completely misleading for beginners; emptying the mind is impossible. Focusing the mind on one particular thing while learning to screen out all the other mind noises and chatter is a much more accurate description of meditation and makes it seem more achievable.

Once you have learned to meditate, contacting your spirit guide will be much easier. When your mind is quiet and uncluttered you will be able to ‘hear’ your guide more clearly, much as you would be able to hear some-one speaking softly in a room once the TV, radio, kid’s chatter and traffic noise was turned off.

As you meditate, focus on the intention of meeting up with your guide. Contacts with spirit guides are made in different ways. Don’t expect to be able to see and hear your guide as if they were standing in front of you. Although this happens for some people it is more likely you will sense their presence and certainly this is likely to be the case in the initial stages of contact. Another form of contact is that thoughts, images and words may suddenly come unbidden into your mind. When I first made contact with my spirit guide something a little unsettling occurred. My hands resting in my lap suddenly felt huge, my shoulders became twice as wide and I felt as if I had grown several feet and my head was scraping the ceiling. This occurred time and again and although I grew used to the sensation it took me a while to realize that I was somehow experiencing my guide through his physical size and form. Once I accepted this then the rest followed easily.

It helps if you have questions for your guide. Make these simple and unambiguous. Such general, large questions as ‘what shall I do with my life?’ will seldom elicit any satisfactory answers.

Sometimes, answers to questions won’t always be immediate but may come days or even weeks later, sometimes when you are least expecting them.

Crystal Meditation for Contacting Spirit Guides

Many people use crystals during meditation to aid the process and they can be particularly effective for contacting your spirit guide. To return to the telephone analogy, think of a crystal as an amplifier which removes static from the line or boosts the signal.

More than anything else, be patient. Some people find it helpful to keep a journal of meditation sessions so that things that have cropped up can be referred to later. Some of the answers you get may make little or no sense at the time you receive them. With time and effort, spirit guide communication will get easier and messages clearer. Keep at it, the benefits are well worth the effort.
