Meeting your Spirit Guides

Meeting and working with your Spirit Guides

Did you know that each of us has a team of spirit guides who help us on our life path? They are with us through all our lives surrounding us with love and come in many forms. For example, you might have a highly evolved guide who has had many previous lives, or a wise ancestor who has passed over into the spirit world and who is assisting you now.

Guides can work with us in many ways or might have a specific role, some are serious and some have a fabulous sense of humour! Guides can help in many ways such as helping us find our true life path and direction and are always in the background encouraging you!

Here are a few simple tips to form a stronger bond with your guides.

Meeting Your Spirit Guides

There are lots of ways that you can do this, but two simple approaches are through visualisation and automatic writing.

A visualisation for meeting your Spirit Guides
- Sit down comfortably somewhere quiet and take three deep breaths, breathing out any tensions from your body and mind.

- Close your eyes and see yourself walking into a beautiful garden with a bench at the centre.
- See yourself sitting on this bench and ask for your guide to approach you and sit next to you.
- Ask your guide any questions you may have. Then thank your guide for coming and see yourself leaving the garden.
- Feel yourself coming back into the room and back into your body. Slowly open your eyes.
Write down the information you get from your guide as this helps you build a relationship with them. This is great for actually seeing who your guides are.

Automatic writing

Automatic writing is a process where you use writing to channel information from your guides. It’s great for getting very specific information.
- Again, find a quiet space where you can sit down with a pen and piece of paper. Take three deep breaths and breathe out any tension.
- Start with a simple question such as, who is the spirit guide working with me at this moment in my life?
- Empty your mind and write the answer that immediately comes to you without censoring it. Ask as many questions as you like.
- At the end, thank them for their help and clap your hands loudly three times to clear the energy and ground yourself.

Reaffirming your Integrity

Reaffirming your personal integrity

As a part of the ONE, every thought and every action we partake in, has an effect on the world around us. Awareness of this brings with it consciousness of our impact on the people in our lives. Considering the full ramifications of our actions can be an important part of our spiritual growth. Being more conscious requires effort, but once we have made it a habit, it becomes second nature, and the easier it is to find ourselves in easy alignment with our integrity.

Our thoughts are the seeds of our actions; without getting obsessed with monitoring and controlling them, we can perhaps choose one thought per day and simply notice if we are in alignment with this experience of integrity. When for instance, we are holding negative thoughts about someone, we risk trapping them in negativity. We should let go of the negative thought and replace it with a wish for healing on that person's behalf.

In the event of us having something difficult to express to someone, it would help to take the time to consider how we would feel if we were to find ourselves in the other person's shoes. When we modify our approach by taking someone else's feelings into account, we bring benefit to that person and ourselves simultaneously. The more we do this, the more we reaffirm our integrity of our relationship to the world.
