Did
you know that you have spirit guides around you, ready to help you
face the various challenges that exist in your life? Have you been
hoping to meet your guides, but aren't sure how? Or perhaps you think
you won't be able to connect? Perhaps the meditation outlined below
will help.
Before you begin your meditation, you will need to ground yourself
to clear out any energies that might keep you from relaxing completely.
Also, you will want to shield yourself for protection throughout this
meditation. Techniques for grounding and shielding can be found in
last month's Spiritual Connections.
Now that you're ready, sit in a comfortable chair with your feet flat
on the floor. To help your body relax, breathe in, hold, breathe out,
and hold again, each for a count of 3. Do this a few times until you
are completely relaxed, then simply breathe deeply and slowly. Close
your eyes, and let your mind clear. If you have stray thoughts pop
in, acknowledge them, enclose them in bubbles, then let them float
out of your head.
Imagine yourself in a lush, green valley. Take a look around you,
and acknowledge what you see. Are there trees, birds, flowers, other
plants? The sun is shining, and warm on your face -- notice the beautiful
color of the sky, and whether or not there are a few puffy clouds.
As
you walk through the valley, you come to a gently bubbling stream.
Taking the path along the stream, you come to a bridge, where you
cross to the other side. The path now continues into the trees on
this side of the stream, and you begin to hear the sound of a waterfall
somewhere up ahead. You soon come upon a magnificent waterfall, with
a large, gentle pool at its base.
Take a moment to look around you once again. Notice how peaceful it
is here -- the soothing sound of the water is relaxing, and the beauty
of nature surrounding you is uplifting. Enjoy the peace that you find
here.
As you are enjoying this place that you have come to, you notice that
someone has joined you. You turn to face the newcomer, and realize
that this is one of your guides. Notice the details of your guide's
appearance. Is your guide male or female, or perhaps neither? How
is your guide dressed? Can you identify features that indicate your
guide's race or nationality? Perhaps your guide does not present himself
in a human form. Each guide chooses an appearance based on what he
believes you will accept and understand, or perhaps based on what
he will be teaching you.
Now that you have seen your guide, it is time for the two of you to
meet. If you would like to, you can sit on one of the large rocks
at the edge of the pool, and dangle your feet in the water while you
talk to your guide. Thank your guide for coming to meet you, and ask
your guide's name. In some cases, your guide may choose to not provide
you with a name, but most will. You can also ask your guide's purpose,
and any other questions that you might have. Your guide may also wish
to share some information with you during this time.
Once you have finished visiting with your guide, thank him for sharing
this time with you. As you leave the clearing, walking back along
the path, notice once again the beauty and peace of your surroundings.
Take that back with you as your return to your chair, and complete
your meditation. Allow the peace and beauty to become a part of you.
You can use this meditation whenever you want to speak with your guides.
The one who wants most to contact you, or share information with you,
is the one who will come through. In some cases, you may meet more
than one guide -- just know that your guides will present you with
what you need at that time.
Remember, just as with shielding and grounding, there are many variations
to meditation and meeting guides. No one method is better or worse
than another; personal preferences play a large part in what works
best for each individual. Feel free to change your place of meditation
to surroundings that suit you best. I do recommend that you are near
water in your meditation place, however, because of water's qualities
of life and renewal.
Next month, I will present more information on guides, and why they
are part of our lives here on the earth plane. In the meantime, enjoy
your Spiritual Connections!
