| Whether you have been communicating with your Guides or Patron Spirit/Deity for quite some time, or you are just learning, I have found this to be a very useful excersise. If you are new to the practice of coniscously communicating with your Spirit Guide, please make sure you know his/her touch and/or sound first. If you do not know how to do this, buy a book in regards to the subject or check out this link, join Spirit Circle and learn for free (there is a TON of original and extremely helpful information here. I stronly recommend you check out Spirit Circle. To get more information on Spirit Guides and other Spirituality topics, click here. Sit in a room without distraction, unplug the phone, no TV, radio, etc. Make sure you are dressed comfortably. Sit on the floor, on a cushion or pillow or in a chair if that's not comfortable. How much ritual, if any you put into this is up to you. You may have a candle or candles lit, you may have insense burning. It's helpful to some, but not necessary. Sit comfortably and relax. Surround yourself with and the room with the White Light of the Divine Spirit of All. Some picture it as a golden sparkly light. Use what feels right for you. Know that the light will cleanse the room (remove the negative energies that can build up with every day living). The light fills your space with love and protection, know that you are safe. Call your Spirit Guide, Totem Spirit or Patron to you. If you're working with your guide, make sure that familiar touch. You're totem you'll know by it's signal, whether it be it's sound, touch, smell, or the energy. If it's your Patron you call, you will know it's there as well. You may feel comfortable stating your purpose if you're working with a Spirit Totem or Patron. A simple, "I've called you here in perfect love to practice my communication with you" is sufficient. You don't have to say it out loud. Sit for a moment and just be with your Guide/Totem/Patron etc. Take a minute to attune to it's energies. You may receive messages during this time, maybe not. When you're ready, say, "Please touch me." Take a moment to note the feel of the touch, where it touches you, is it hot, cold, tingly, etc Attune with the energies of you Guide/Totem/Patron through it's touch. Record that, thank your Guide/Totem/Patron and move to the next one. If you don't feel anything (assuming you've taken enough time) it's ok, just move on. Next say, "Please make a sound for me." What you hear may be with your physical ears, but most likely it will be in your head. It can be a word or words, a knock, an animal sound (especially with Totem Spirit Animals) bells, etc Take time to observe and listen to this sound. Attune with the energy of your Guide/Totem/Patron through sound. Really pay attention to the characteristics of the sound. Is it something you can reproduce with your voice or hands? If so, why not try? When you're ready, record the experience and give your thanks. Next say, "Please share a smell with me" What do you smell? Is it something that you're familiar with on the physical plane? Take a moment to breathe it in, attune through smell, record and give your thanks. Next say, "Please share a taste with me" What do you taste? Take a moment to reflect upon the taste, attune through it, record and give thanks. Next close your eyes. Stare softely at the blackness there and say, "Please make a picture for me" (you may feel more comfortable laying on your back and looking at the ceiling. Some people have a hard time keeping their eyes closed.) If you see a picture, it may be of the Guide, Totem or Patron or it may not. Record it, and give thanks to the Guide, Totem or Patron. When you're ready, thank your Guide/Totem/Patron for being there and communing with you today. Then ground and center your awareness. Keep your records in a journol and refer to them. Did you seem to receive better impressions from your Guide/Totem/Patron in some areas more than others? That's ok. Perhaps you will want to repeat this exercise from time to time. There are times in our lives when we're not receptive or we block certain things. This exercise helps you learn the other signals that your Guide/Totem/Patron will use to get through during those times. :) Medea Moonfire 2000 |
