Do you remember having an imaginary friend when you were a child? This may have been your first experience of a spirit guide.

Often children will see imaginary friends when they are lonely or sad. A Spirit Guide comes to remind them that they are not alone. It is when we are in times of need that we will break through the feeling of separation. Just think for a moment about how often ‘other-worldly’ beings appear in our spiritual traditions, and many cultures invoke the guidance and protection of their ancestors, or animal spirits. All these experiences tell us there is a greater oneness to which we belong.

1. Form Your Intention

To help you connect with your own spirit guide, try this introductory meditation. Firstly, name your conscious intention out aloud....."My intention is to connect with the spirit of harmony."

2. Relax Down

Sit comfortably in a straight backed chair. Close your eyes, and take your awareness to your breathing. Be aware of your belly rising and falling. Slowly breathe in and out....in and out.... let all stress and tension fall away. Take a few moments just to focus on your breath....in and out.... Push your heels firmly into the earth to ground your intuitions.

Journey to meet your spirit guide

• Visualise yourself walking up to a door and opening the door.
• As you open the door you move into a room filled with light.
• As you walk through the light you feel it on your face, flowing around your body, warming you, uplifting you.
• Walk through the light until it starts to clear and you come out at a pathway.
• Follow the pathway as it twists and turns.
• See wildflowers and trees around you.
• Hear a bubbling brook off into the distance.
• You continue walking until you come to a great, big, beautiful old tree.
• Look at the tree, say hello to it.
• Go and sit underneath the tree and relax.
• As you relax, invite a spirit guide to join you.
• Focus in your mind's eye on sensing the spirit guide, sensing its presence.
• What does it feel like?
• Does it feel male or female?
• Is it old or young?
• Do you know this person well or not at all?
• How do you feel about the spirit guide?
• Does the spirit guide have a name?
• Ask the spirit guide if it has any message for you?

Say goodbye to the spirit guide and say goodbye to the tree. Walk back down the path. Walk back through the door and into your chair. Take a deep breath and relax. You can meet with your spirit guides at any time that you need them.....

When I died, February 23, 2003, I met my spirit guide who told me I had to go back to my body.(I had accidently fallen off a ladder, 40 feet onto brick, head first.)The voice was so real. Me looking at my body on the ground from the roof top was real. The voice was that of Methias, my spiritual guide. He lived in Ireland in the 1790's and was a Healer and Humanitarian. He told me to go back.(At the time, I had lost 7 loved ones in 1 year to various diseases, accidents and one suicide.) After that experience, I have been looking for spiritual minded people to talk with.(Most people think I may be a little nuts, but, so what!)
I need another spiritual soul living on this planet in helping further explore the realms of spiritualiy and life after death.
I live in St. Helena, Ca(in the Napa valley).
I gets lonely listening to other's about thier "woe's". I need more intellectual stimualtion with those of like minds as mine in furthering my discovery about "the other side." Any suggestions?

Hi,
In 1990 I went on a vocational trip with University to Spain, one evening after being out with Friends I taxi'd back to my appartment but had to walk down the street. I heard very clearly in my head my grandpa telling me to be careful as I was going to get attacked. I kept my guard up until I went through the door of the appartment block and I then relaxed and bam as I went to switch the lights on I was attacked by a gypsy.

I would really like to connect with my guardian Angels and my spirit guides. I feel my horse around me who was put to sleep in January 06, mainly when I am riding my young horse who is nearly 4.

I would really like to develop my spirituality more
