Before I start, I would like to say that
the only time I actually used this meditation was the before I
became a witch. I found other ways to talk with my guide
without doing this meditation again. Over the years
though I have shared this with others. For the most part
each person has been able to meet his or her guide. (there
was one exception but I still believe this is valid for most
people.)
As always you will need to
find a place you will not be disturbed and dress for comfort. Ok
Now you have to sit or recline in a comfortable manner with your
eyes closed. Relax let all tension flow from you. See
a white light surround you, pouring down over you, swirling
around you or just appearing. Feel it's protective energy
around you and know that nothing that means you harm can pass
though it without your permission.
First just have the light
flowing over your skin your being then slowly expand it to a
circle. Watch the circle grow but remaining as strong.
When you feel that it is large enough then stop the expansion.
There will be enough room for both you and your guide
in the circle.
Now that the circle is as
large as you wish it to be mentally call out to your guide, asking
for it to approach but not to enter the circle. At this time
your guide should appear just outside the light. Don't be
surprised at what appears. It could be human
animal or other. Guides are not limited to forms such as ours.
They appear in forms that we can accept and that influence the
lessons that they are here to help us learn.
When the being appears ask it
to enter the circle as long as it means you no harm. If it
is not free to enter the circle, send it away and send out the
call again. Your guide should be able to enter the
circle freely. Once your guide enters, well, here come
the fun part - getting to know your guide
Start off by asking
it's name. Some will give it, some won't, and some, like my
current guide might tell you just to pick a use name.
Make note of your guide's features and and what it's
presence feels like. Basically you question and get acquainted
like you would anyone else that you have just meet and are going
to spend time.
Eventually come slowly
out of the relaxed state bringing the circle of white light into a
protective covering that surrounds you. why not give yourself a
little extra bit of protection. A side note: you can
use the white light on a daily basis as a means of protection and
can even layer it if you wish. So what happens when
you come out of the trance and have trouble hearing your
guide speak? Well you can always go back into this place
whenever you wish to speak with it. Permission to enter the
circle will not be needed again.
So what are spirit guides
anyway? Well, if you want me to prove what I am going
to say I couldn't to it, but this is what I feel. Most of my
information, except how to meet them, comes from feelings visions
and information I have received from my guides over the years.
I do question everything I am told by them, wanting to
know the why much to my current guide's exasperation. Here
is what I believe to be true. If it is of value or it be
tossed, well that is for you to decide. I believe that guides are
spirits who may or may not have spent time on this plane. We
are born into this life to learn certain lessons and achieve
certain goals. Unfortunately we tend to be a forgetful lot and
can't remember why we are here. Some of us make the same
mistakes lifetime after lifetime. That's where the guides come in.
They know what our goals were for this lifetime and like a
good friend reminds us when we get off track. They can start
nagging and if we really start ignoring them they can throw up
there hands in disgust and let us stumble through on our own.
So why do guides guide us? Well it is my belief that we take turns
as guides and the guided, helping each other grow and learn
through our lives. It's part of being responsible to those you
love. And on that note I shall end.
