Note to Intuitive Reiki Students - NEVER do this or any other spiritual activities with out first asking for protection or saying a prayer that the light of Christ surround you, your home, and your consciousness. If you do not believe in Christ (whether it be Jesus, Buddah, Krishna, etc...) Then ask your guides to find the stongest protector guide you have to guard your energy while you do these exercises. There are "mischevious" spirits out there who would love to be your guide and experience life through you.... It is for their own selfish reasons and are no help to you at all. So please be careful and if you have questions, ask me or Marla. It's worth it. ONce you have your protection down you are safe to roam the astral plane with out worry. The most important thing about asking for protection is that you WHOLE HEARTEDLY BELIEVE. I have some people who don't believe in beings that can guard them so they use color... It works for them. I use Christ. :)
SPIRIT GUIDES & AUTOMATIC WRITING
Hold on for you are never alone,
Hold on to your dreams as they will carry you home,
Hold on do not give up on hope,
Know that you are cared for and are much loved,
Know that you are in the arms of the angels,
Safe and protected and being prayed for,
In their arms they will carry you,
Through the darkest times as they are always there for you.
Each and every one of us has spiritual helpers who guide us in our every day lives. Some of these spiritual helpers stay with us from birth while, others come and go through out the different stages of our lives. These spiritual helpers are our spirit guides.
We have teacher guides, animal guides, Native American guides, nature guides, healing guides, runner guides and many other types of guides who assist us in every thing we do. Our spirit guides may be our loved ones who have passed over, loved ones from previous lives and other spiritual beings who have volunteered their time to help and guide us. When it is my time to leave this world then I would love to come back as a spirit guide so that I can continue to help and guide others.
Unlike angels who have never lived a life on the earth plane, spirit guides are people who have lived before and have passed over. People who have lived before and who would like to serve God by helping and guiding us. Each of us can have up to 30 – 40 guides at any given time in our lives. The number of guides we have is ever changing depending on our situation at the time. As I said before you will have guides who will constantly be at your side from birth, while others may enter your life and then leave once their work is done.
Both our spirit guides and our angels loved to be called upon to help and guide us, as to serve us is to serve God. They want you to ask them for help and guidance. They want you to communicate with them and to share your thoughts with them. They want you to know that they are there for you any time you need them. I see my spirit guides and angels as part of my family, as once you get to know them you grow to love them deeply and would never be with out them.
The Various Types of Spirit Guides and Angels
There are countless types of guides and angels who assist us on a daily basis. Below are just a few of our wonderful spiritual helpers. Please feel free to do your own research to find out about the other guides and angels we have helping us.
Ascended Master Guides
Ascended Masters are spiritual beings who have lived earth lives before. They have lived through many incarnations and have learnt all the life lessons that they needed too. They have passed all of the tests that God had set before them. Ascended Masters have also worked through all of their karma and have learnt to forgive both themselves and others.
Ascended Masters have had every kind of human experience and have fulfilled each of their life purposes. These spiritual beings have evolved to a much higher vibration and a far higher frequency. They have passed through ascension which means that they do not have to return to earth again – as they have completed the life course that God has set for them. They are now highly evolved beings whose purpose is now to teach us how to live in light and love.
When we pass over and once we have learnt all that needs to be learnt we then begin to evolve. We continue learning and working on our spiritual paths. We have the choice to be born again and live another earthly life, the choice to become spirit guides or continue with our spiritual work in the spiritual realms and move to higher enlightenment.
Ascended Master Guides have the important job of helping us to reach higher levels of spiritual consciousness. They help to teach us truth, love, wisdom and forgiveness. They help to guide us on the right path in life; they offer us sound advice and guidance and teach us important lessons that need to be learnt. These beings are of such a great vibration that they hold deep with in them, powerful energy such as God’s powerful energy.
Ascended Masters are also incredibly wise as they have learnt a great deal and have worked long and hard to get to where they are now. These beings are of pure heavenly light and they radiate love and light to the earth. They try to help us to live in God’s light and help with our spiritual journey.
Runner Guides
Runner Guides are spirit guides who help us in our everyday lives, with our daily chores and in every situation. They are called Runner guides because they love to run a head of us and make our way easier by doing chores that will help. They love to see us happy and not stressed.
Runner guides love to help us in any way that they are able. All you need to do is ask for their help and they will be only too happy to help out. Runners are spirits who want to feel appreciated and to be helpful. These spirits are closely connected to the earth and with nature. Runners are spirits who want to help make our daily lives easier and more fun.

Deceased Loved Ones Guides
Our deceased loved ones Guides are as their name suggests – our loved ones who have passed over and who have decided that they would like to continue watching over us and guiding us. We all have guides who were once our loved ones who have passed over.
Some of these you may have met before such as a mother, brother, father, best friend, grandmother, aunt or uncle, cousin or teacher. Others you may have not met as they may have passed over before you were born or they could have been connected to one of your past lives. People from your passed lives do like to stay with you and help you in this life time.
These guides like to show us that they are around by sending you smells, items, songs, thoughts and other signs that will be personal to them and that you would recognize. For example your grandfather used to smoke a certain type of tobacco in his pipe. You find that you can smell this very same tobacco around you when there is clearly no one smoking in the room or near by.
Or your mother’s favourite song keeps playing on the radio or you get it stuck in your head and keep singing it. It could be that you find that you keep thinking about your deceased loved one, keep dreaming of them or you feel as though they are around you. These are all ways in which our loved ones who have passed over send us signs that they are watching over us.
You can ask your deceased loved ones for guidance or help at any time as they can hear you – even if you ask them in your heads and not out loud. Do be careful though when taking their advice as our loved ones do not change in spirit. They are exactly the same people they were when they were living. For example if when your sister was still alive she was terrible at giving relationship advice, then do not ask her for her advice on relationships once she has passed, as she will still give you the same terrible advice.
In a nutshell our deceased loved ones still have the same personalities and traits as they did when they were living. Just because they have passed over does not mean that they will suddenly change and give you accurate advice that is never wrong. This is why when performing readings or if you are seeking accurate guidance that you know will help, you should always call on your highest level spirit guides. I will explain more on these types of guides next.
Highest Level Spirit Guides
Our Highest Level Spirit Guides are guides who vibrate at the highest level and vibration. These guides have been in the spiritual realm for a very long time and have evolved into beings of light. Our highest level guides are be both angels and spirit guides, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, Mary, Archangels, Guardian Angels, Your Higher Self, Nature and Animal guides and angels, Native American Guides, Ascended Masters and other guides of the highest vibration.
These guides are wise and powerful and want to guide and help us in any way that they can. These types of guides will always give you accurate advice that will help you. These guides are the ones to call upon when you do any spiritual work or need any guidance. These guides want only the very best for us and are guides who are filled with Heavenly light.
If you would like to call on your Highest Level Spirit guides for help, guidance, advice or before doing spiritual work then just say,” I call upon my highest level spirit guides, please……..”
Joy Guides
I love Joy Guides as they are just so cute and helpful! These guides look like cherubs – the ones you get on Valentine greeting cards shooting tiny arrows into hearts. These guides are playful, fun loving little angels who love to help us remove stress and relax more. Their job is to help us not to be so serious and to help us to relax and enjoy life more.
These little cherubs are like happy playful children. They are childish, fun, exciting to have a round and help to shower our lives with laughter, fun and presents. If you are working too hard then your joy guides will try and get your attention so that you stop and have a rest.
A good example of this is: Once I was working extremely hard on one of the lessons for Psychic Friends. I had been working for hours and was feeling tied and drained. I kept getting writers block and just felt tearful! I knew my guides were telling me to stop and have a rest, yet I did not listen and just kept on working.
Half way through my work I noticed something moving out of the corner of my eye. I looked towards the large French doors in our dinning room and right where I sat. There on the other side of the glass was our neighbour’s gorgeous little cat Solo.
He tapped at the window with his tiny paw as if to say, “Please play with me.” My heart felt all warm inside as I saw his big bright eyes staring longingly at me. “I can not play now Solo I have got work to do, maybe a little later.” I said out loud to Solo.
Solo was not having this and he continued to tap his little paw on the glass. I looked down at him and laughed. I could not resist but tap back on the window and play with little solo. I then went out side and sat on the ground. Solo jumped on my lap and I cuddle him and chatted away to him. About 20 minutes later when I went back in doors and continued with my work I noticed that the break had done me the world of good. I felt strong and ready to do my work again. What happened was my joy guides had sent Solo to me to help me to rest and take a break.
Other times they will make my internet connection stop working, make the phone ring only to find that no one is there when I answer, make someone keep turning up on my door step ringing the bell or send me lots and lots of tiny sparrows who will tap on the glass with their beaks, chirp real loudly, hover by the glass of the French door flapping their wings for several minutes to get my attention, hop about and play right next to me - some times there can be at least 25 of them at once out side the window.
Our joy guides also like to help us to stop rushing about all the time. They want us to take things slow and enjoy our day. They will do little things to help slow us down such as hiding our keys (hide and seek) or other items, sending a bird, person or something that will distract you and stop you from being in a rush.
Joy guides are like little children. They are playful and love to keep us on our toes and have us play with them. If we are feeling sad or upset then our joy guides will draw something funny into your life to help make you liven up and laugh.
These little guides love to shower us with special gifts and presents. They help to drew positive energy and gifts into our lives. These gifts may be in the form of actual gifts such as winning on a scratch card or getting a bonus, someone bringing you a gift or you find money lying on the street.
Or the gifts could be in the form of helping you find the best deals when you go shopping, finding the exact colour wall paper you were looking for, helping you to not miss your bus or to find that lost earring, making the sun stay out while you do the school run and then, it pour down with rain as soon as you are in doors again, help your very low gas tank to get you home or near a garage before you run out of gas. They love to send us gifts that will help to make our lives easier and happier.
Each day say this little prayer to ask your joy guides to shower you with their precious gifts. Remember to always thank your joy guides for the gifts they bring and to appreciate them.
“My beautiful joy guides I would like to thank you for all the wonderful gifts and presents that you bless my family and I with each day. Your gifts are all greatly appreciated. Please continue to shower my family and me with gifts and presents each day. Thank you.”

Animal Guides
We all have a wide variety of Animal Spirit Guides around us. These can be our beloved pets that have passed over, pets from previous lives as well as animal spirits that have chosen to guide us in this life.
Each animal guide offers us a different type of help for example: Our beloved pets who have passed over, will offer us comfort in out times of need, they will be there for us when we are feeling afraid or need a friend to talk to. We may have a wolf spirit guide who will be wise and teach us great lessons in life, he will help us to see different situation more clearly and with an open heart.
We may have a bear spirit guide who will help us with our parenting skills and with feminine problems. She will help us to be good parents and help our children to behave and to head down the right path in life. Our animal guides can help to send us healing, support, love and inspiration.

Below is a list of the various types of spirit guide animals we have…

They also teach us not to make the same mistakes in life that we have already made – mistakes that are connected to greed, anger, aggression, fear, thoughtlessness, negative thoughts and deeds, pain, bullying, deceit, lies, shame, and insecurity.

A journey animal guide – A journey animal guide is a guide that helps us move from one phase of our lives into the next. This guide will stay with us through each cycle of our lives and help us to move in to the next cycle – you see our lives are made up of cycles. This is like the different chapters in a book. Each chapter is a new cycle. They say that we go into a new cycle of our lives every 9 years or so, although I personally believe that the cycle changes can happen when we have learned all the lessons need for that particular cycle.
The journey guide will help us learn the lessons needed for each life cycle. They help us to stay on the right path and if we are lead astray then they will bring our attention back to the right road again. These guides come to us when there are massive decisions to be made or when our life hits a cross roads. They are our faithful travel companions and give us support. They guide us in the best way that they can so that we move forward on the life path that is right for us.

Teacher Guides
The teacher guides are guides who were once teachers, or people who were professional in specific field when they lived on the earth plane. These guides have chosen to dedicate their time in helping others who are still living.
You can call upon teacher guides to help you any chosen field or area of your life. There are teacher guides to help you with maths, with computers, with cooking or spiritual work and psychic development (I call upon my spiritual growth and psychic development teacher guides to help when writing lessons.)
There is a teacher guide for every area or situation that you need guidance and help with. They love to be helpful and to lend you a helping hand. You can even call upon someone famous who has passed over and who you had a great respect for know that they teach the subject you want to learn
“I call upon my highest level ……………(what area you need help in eg, maths, spiritual, health care, cookery, teaching etc) teacher guides and I ask that you will please help me with learning / teaching ……………… Thank you” (Make your little prayer personal to you – this is just an example.)
Learning to See Your Guides
The first thing we need to do to help us see our spirit guides is to rediscover our imagination. The reason for this is because as an adult we are too quick to judge what we see. We put our experiences down to imagination or silly day dreams. Children readily and easily see their guides as they do not judge what they see. They accept it and are comfortable with it.
One of the saddest things is when a parent tells their child to grow up and stop living in a fantasy world, or to say that it is all in your imagination. Because children do not judge what they see they can easily and readily see their guides. They spend many hours playing happily with their guides – their imaginary friends
I remember when I was a young girl about the age of 5-6. I had an imaginary friend named Julie. She was the same age as my self and had shoulder length blond hair. I could see and hear her as clearly as I see and hear my family and friends. I loved spending hours of fun with Julie. I could talk to her about anything and she would not judge me. I even used to beg my mother to set a place at the table for Julie.
At first my mum put up with my new found friend but as time went by and I got older, she told me to stop being silly as Julie is only in my imagination – she is not real.
I did as my mother said and each time I saw Julie I told myself that she is only in my imagination. Of course you can guess what happened – Julie left and I never saw her again. For years my family and I talk and laughed about my imaginary friend Julie. The truth was that Julie was not just an imaginary friend but one of my spirit guides. Because I pushed her away by believing that she was all in my imagination, I stopped seeing her and having that wonderful bond with her.
It is so sad yet so true for many people out there. So many of us have met and spent quality time with our guides, but as soon as we are told to grow up – we stop using our imaginations, which in turn puts up a block that stops us seeing our guides. It is actually not stopping us from seeing them but, instead of believing what we see – we judge it and pass it off as our minds playing tricks on us.
Re-awakening Our Imaginations
Below are a few short exercises that will help you to re-awaken your imagination. They are fun exercise and are easy to do.
For those who have a very strong imagination this exercise will be easier. For those who find it hard to use their imagination, this exercise may take a bit more work – but once you learn to re-awaken your imagination you will find it to be a satisfying and rewarding experience.
Find somewhere nice and quiet where you will not be disturbed. Sit or lay down in a position that you feel comfortable in. Close your eyes and take in 3 deep breaths slowly. Put on some soothing music and light a candle or two if you feel it helps to relax you.
Once you feel completely relaxed imagine that you are walking in a beautiful field. Take note of what is around you. What do you see? Are there any animals in this field? What type of animals are they?
What is the weather like? Is it hot, cold, snowy or raining? If it is cold then feel the crisp cool feeling on your skin or if it is hot then, feel the heat of the warm sunrays as they swirl around you.
What tastes or smells come to you? Are there clouds in the sky or not? Take every thing in – in as much detail as you can. Remember this is your vision, your imagination so anything can happen.
Now move away from the field and go to a place where you feel happy and content. Where are you now? What do your surroundings look like? Who and what is there? Take every detail in and make your vision be as clear as you can.
Now try to imagine yourself in 10 years from now. What would you like to be doing in 10 years from now? What do you look like and where do you live? What job do you have? Try to imagine what you would like your life to be like in 10 years from now. Take as long as you like to imagine this and add in as much detail as you can.
The Memory Exercise
Find somewhere nice and quiet where you will not be disturbed. Sit or lay down in a position that you feel comfortable in. Close your eyes and take in 3 deep breaths slowly. Put on some soothing music and light a candle or two if you feel it helps to relax you.
Once you are completely relaxed try to go back to one of your favourite memories. Re-live that memory. Try to remember how you felt and re-live those feelings. Re-discover that special time in your life. How did you feel? What was the memory about? Who shared this memory with you. Go back in time and re-live that happy memory. Take as long as you like on this exercise.
The Circus
Find somewhere comfortable and quiet to sit or lay down. Close your eyes, take in 3 deep slow breaths and quiet your mind. Once you feel completely relaxed imagine that you are going to the circus.
Who are you going with? Are you going on your own or do you have someone with you? Imagine that you are standing out side of the large circus tent. What colour is the circus tent and is it one or more colour? Does the tent have patterns or is it plain? Now enter the large circus tent.
What do you see? Is there a lot of people there? What types of animals or acts are there? Find somewhere to sit as the circus is about to begin. Where about in the large tent are you sitting? What does the person who is sitting on your left look like? What does the person who is on your right look like?
Now the conductor walks onto the stage. What does he look like and what is he wearing? He introduces the first act. What is the first act? The first act begins. What is it and who all are involved. Imagine what this act would be like and enjoy the show.
The first act is now finished and everyone claps. Did you enjoy that act? The conductor re-enters the stage and introduces the next act.
Do the same as you did above for the next 5 acts, each time taking in as much detail as possible, creating your own acts and performances. Making the experience be as real and personal to you as you like. This is your vision – your day dream so anything can happen.
Below are a few other things which you can do to help re-awaken your imaginations.
Be more creative as when you do creative work it helps to fire up your imagination. People who do a lot of art work or other creative work are more likely to see their guides. You do not have to be a creative person to do creative things. Who knows you may even surprise yourself.
Try to day dream as much as you can. Remember that in your day dreams you can be any where you like, be who you want to be, have the life you dreamed of. Day dreaming is free, fun and highly imaginative. If you do not have a strong imagination then, day dreaming is the perfect way to strengthen your imagination. Also the more you day dream about things you want to happen in your life, the more energy you send out – which helps make your dreams become a reality.
Try to train your mind to be more open to the impossible. Stop putting things down to your imagination. If something strange or unusual happens then do not judge it. Trust what you see and what comes to you. Train your mind to believe in what you see and feel instead of putting it down to your imagination.
Try practicing asking your guides and angels for help - even if it is only for little things and remember to also put the effort in. Try to also over come any guilty feeling of asking for help. The more you ask your guides for help, the more they will work with you and the stronger their presence will be. Try each day asking your guides for one or two little things.
Ask for small things at first like help getting the kiddies to school on time or for help finding a lost object. Once you have got used to asking for little things then you can start asking for help with bigger things. The more you ask for their help and accept their help, the more you will feel them working in your life. You will begin to notice just how much they are in your life and always have been.
Each and every day spend just 5 – 10 minutes listing your blessings and the things you are grateful for. Thank your angels and guides for their help in your everyday lives. For example: Each morning when I walk home from dropping my little ones at school, I will list all the things that I am grateful for.
It is always important to try and pick a specific time that is the same each day to talk to your guides – almost like making an appointment to see them. To give you a better idea of what I mean here is my list for today (10/12/2010).
I would like to thank my heavenly father, my heavenly fathers angels, the Archangels, my spirit guides and angels, my higher self and spiritual helpers for all the guidance and protection that you offer my family and I each and every day. Thank you for your constant love and support, for all the wonderful gifts and blessings that you bless us with.
(These are the words I use but you can use your own words. Make your grateful list be personal to you.)
* I m grateful that I got Monique and Kristi to school on time today, thank you.
* I am grateful that I managed to find Monique’s school top that was lost, thank you.
* I am grateful that you helped remind me about the lunch boxes last night, thank you.
* I am grateful for your help in preparing this lesson, thank you
* I am grateful for all the bargains I got at the shop this morning as it has saved me a lot of money, thank you.
* I am grateful that Kristi was so good this morning and did not play up when getting ready for school, thank you.
* I am grateful that my family and I get to work and school and back again safely each day, thank you
* I am grateful that it is such a lovely day and I do not have to walk in the rain, thank you.
* I am grateful for my friends and family and the home you blessed me with, thank you.
* I am grateful that Donna found her missing cat, thank you
* I am grateful that Maureen is feeling much better and that the operation went well, thank you.
If you do this exercise each and every day you will begin to notice just how much your angels and guides help and support you in your every day lives.

Your guides want to help you to be happy and content with your life and with being you. They are dying for you to ask them for help and guidance. They want to be of service. This next exercise is designed for you to create a connection to your guides, for you to share with your guides your concerns and worries, to help you to ask for their help and work with them to make your life happier and easier.
Sit down with a pen and paper in front of you. Take a long and hard look at your life and where you want your life to go. Look at what is working in your life and what is not.
What you do next is write a letter to your spirit guides and angels, telling them all about yourself and your life. Share with your guides your hopes, dreams and goals. Share with your guides how you are feeling and if you feel you need help or guidance then ask them – they will be more than happy to help you.
If there is anything that you would like to tell your guides and angels, or if you would like to thank them for being apart of your life – then now is the time to do it, just write a letter to your guides and angels that is genuine, from the heart, personal to them and yourself. Let your guides and angels know that you would like for them to work with you. Let them know that you are grateful for the help and guidance.
Once you have finished writing your letter to your guides and angels then, close your eyes and take in 3 deep breaths slowly. Say out loud or in your mind, “I call upon my spirit guides and angels. I have written a letter to you and I hope that you will enjoy reading it.” Then read out the letter – either aloud or in your mind (as they can hear you.)
Once you have read your letter you can either keep the letter somewhere safe or burn the letter and sprinkle the ashes in your garden or somewhere that is special to you. Your guides will get your letter and they will appreciate receiving it. This is a wonderful way to help you bond with your angels and guides. You can also repeat this exercise when ever you feel you would like to strengthen your connection to them.
When writing or talking to your guides and angels you can always be yourself. They love you unconditionally and they love you for who you are. They will never judge you or abandon you. They want to help and guide you always. They are always proud of you and they respect your wishes. Your guides and angels will always try to help you the best they can – where they can.
Please remember that our guides and angels can not make things happen as they are not aloud to intervene in our lives, they can only help. For example;
I once did a reading for a man who was desperately looking for work. While doing his reading I advised the man to ask his guides for help as they wanted to help him. I also advised him to not give up searching for work as I felt that he would find work with in the next 3 months. I told him that there was a job waiting for him, all he had to do was ask his guides for help and continue searching for work.
Four months later I received an e-mail from the man and he was angry and disappointed. He said that he had asked his guides to help him find a job yet still he was out of work. Straight away his guides came through to me and told me that the man had not gone out looking for work.
His guides told me that he just stayed at home expecting his guides to deliver the perfect job. They told me that there is a job waiting for him – he would be working there now but because this man did not continue searching and just left it all to his guides – he had missed that wonderful opportunity. His guides had prepared the way for him and were ready to guide him to the perfect job.
I replied to the man asking (even though I already new the answer) what he had done to find work. He replied saying that he had been waiting at home for a phone call or letter saying there was a job available for him – you see he expected that his guides would do it for him. I then told him what his guides had told me and said to him that his guides will help him but he needs to put the work in too.
Guides and angels are here to help us were they can. They can pass on guidance and advice and help to make little things happen, they help guide us in the right direction, but we need to know that we have to put the work into it too. We can not expect things to just magically happen if we do not put the effort in trying to help ourselves. I never heard back from that man again so I do not know if he took my advice or not. I do hope that he has found a job and is happier in life now.
Another example is…
I had a friend who was suffering from bad depression. She would sit at home each day crying because she felt so depressed. One afternoon she visited me and asked me to perform a reading for her. While doing her reading her guides came through and said that my friend needs to see a councillor or someone who can help her in with her emotions.
Her guides told me to pass on to my friend that she needs to fight the depression as she is a stronger person than she realises. They told me that her depression was linked to her husband as she was unhappy in her marriage (which I later found out was true).
Her guides also told me that she should leave her husband and be on her own for a while to re-find her self. They said that they would help her but she needed to be willing to help her self too. They told me that if she left her husband then they would support her and make sure that she was well cared for and had enough money to get by. I told my friend everything that her guides had told her.
Unfortunately my friend never took the advice of her guides and almost a year later she was still very depressed - to the point where she did not want to live anymore. She was so unhappy in her marriage and most of her friends had left her as they found it too depressing to be around her.
The reason that she was still so very depressed was because she did not take any of the advice her guides passed onto her. She was still living with her husband and had not tried to help herself. She kept asking her guides to help her yet she was not willing to help her self, and then felt let down by her guides as she could not see any changes in her life.
If she had listened to her guides, taken their advice and tried to help herself then, she would be a much happier person today. My heart does go out to her and I hope that someday she will find happiness.
How many guides do you have?
Each and every one of us has many different guides that come in and out of our lives at any given time. Each person has different amounts of guides in their life. Where one person may only have a couple of guides, another may have up to 30 or 40 guides. Some guides work more with us more than other guides depending on our life’s situation at the time.
This next exercise will help you to find out how many guides you have. Please do not give up if nothing comes to you the first time round. Keep practicing and you will soon see some results.
Find somewhere comfortable to sit or lay down. Try to be completely relaxed and feel comfortable. Take in a few deep breaths slowly. Try to calm your mind from the days chatter. Once you feel completely relaxed take in a few more deep breaths.
Ask your spirit guides to please tell you how many guides you have. Say out loud or in your mind,“My spirit guides I call upon you now. Please tell me how many guides I have. Thank you.” Then wait and see what comes to you. Do not judge what comes just accept it and be thankful.
Please know that when finding out how many guides you have, you will either see a number in your minds eye, hear a number being said out loud or in your mind, you may feel several taps on your foot or hear several bangs or noises at once. Our guides talk to each of us differently. You need to just trust what comes to you and have faith that you have communicated with your guides.
It is extremely important to always remember to thank all of your spirit guides each time you work with them or ask for their help. Like us they like to feel appreciated and respected. Remember if ever you are unsure of the answer you received then you can always ask your guides for conformation – they will be happy to give it to you.
What are your Guides names?
Find somewhere that is nice and quiet and where you will not be disturbed. Have a piece of paper with you and a pen. Sit down and make sure you are in a comfortable position. Take in a few deep breaths slowly to help completely relax you. Try to calm your mind of the days chatter.
Ask your guides to please tell you what their names are. Say out loud or in your mind, “My spirit guides please may you tell me what your names are?”
If you found out that you have more than one guide then, on your piece of paper write down the number of guides you have. For example if you have 3 guides then write,
1.
2.
3.
Ask your spirit guides to take it in turns to tell you their names. Each time you find out one of their names write it down until all names are found. Like above you need to trust what comes to you. You may hear a name being said out loud or in your mind, you may see a name in the air or in your minds eye.
You may hear someone in the street suddenly say a name – just at the point when you asked your guides what their names are. Our guides talk to each of us differently. You need to just trust what comes to you and have faith that you have communicated with your guides.
If you feel unsure whether the name you heard are your spirit guides name, then ask your guides to please send you conformation. They will send you conformation through signs. When I first did this exercise I kept hearing the words John the Baptist. I thought this was not possible so continued to do the exercise. Still the name John the Baptist kept coming to me, so I asked for conformation that John the Baptist was one of my guides.
I received plenty of conformation through signs when out and about as well as on the telly and computer. Our guides are happy to give us conformation if we feel that we need that little bit of extra proof. I have many guides around me and I know of a lot of their names. The guides who work closest with me and who have been with me for many years are named, James, John the Baptist, Jesus and Brother Bear. I also have a Chinese guide who works with me quite a lot named Kiawan (I think spell).
To help make it not too confusing – as all your guides will want to give you conformation all at once, ask your guides to please take it in turns giving you conformation of their names.
For example; Say you have 3 guides and their names are Pam, Tom and Sally and you would like conformation of their names. Ask Pam if she could please be the first guide to give you conformation. It may take a day or two but keep asking until Pam gives you conformation of her name.
You will receive conformation through signs such as seeing a van drive past with that name on the side, or you may see a sign post with the name. Hear it on the radio or see the name appear on telly. You may find that you keep hearing the name through out the day – these are all signs of conformation.
Once you have received conformation from Pam then ask Tom to give you conformation and so on – until you have received conformation from each spirit guide. Remember to thank each one for their help and their time.
Sensing your Guides Presence
Sit or lay comfortably so that you feel completely relaxed and settled. Take in a few deep breaths slowly to help completely relax you. Try to calm your mind from the days chatter and try to feel the vibrations in your room. How does the vibrations in your room feel? Do you notice any differences? Try to see if you can feel the vibration of your spirit guides.
You may not be able to see them but they are there. Spirit Guides have vibrations just like angels do. Trust the feelings and thoughts that come to you. Trust what you feel and do not judge it.
Ask your spirit guides to please help you to feel their presence. Ask each spirit guide to come through one at a time and share their presence with you. For example: (Using the guides from above) Say out loud or in your mind, “Pam I call upon you now. Please help me to feel your presence. Are you standing behind me? Are you standing in front of me? Or are you standing to the left of me, or to the right of me? Please help me to feel your presence now. Thank you.”
Once you have felt what Pam’s presence feels like then thank her and ask Tom to come though and share his presence with you. Take note of what each spirit guides presence feels like as each will be different. This will help you to identify each spirit guide when they are around you.
Write down in your journal your experiences, thoughts, feelings, visions and any other things that come to you during this exercise. Write down each spirit guides name and what each individual spirit guides presence felt like. It is so important to write it all down even if it seems insignificant.
Seeing your Spirit Guides
Find somewhere that is nice and quiet and where you will not be disturbed. Lie down and make sure you are in a comfortable position. Take in a few deep breaths slowly to help completely relax you. Try to calm your mind of the days chatter. Ask your spirit guides to please help you to see what they look like. Again ask your guides to take it in turns.
For example: (Using the guides from above) ask Pam to come through first and show you what she looks like. Once you have seen what Pam looks like then, thank her and ask Tom to now show you what he looks like and so on.
Close your eyes and trust any images or thoughts that come to you. What do you see and how do you feel? Do you see a person in your minds eye or do you see an animal? Do you see bright colours or lights? Do you see a feather or a heart? What pictures come to you? Try to take in as much detail in as possible and try to see these images as vividly as possible. At the same time try not to over concentrate as this will block out any genuine images. Just totally relax your body and mind and trust what ever come to you.
Keep practicing this exercise until you feel comfortable with what comes to you. You may find that you see many different things at first, but then one image should keep coming back to you each time you do this exercise. The image that keeps coming back to you is a vision of how your spirit guide would like to show themselves to you.
Please remember that you will not see a full blown spirit appear in front of you (though if you are very lucky then you might see a spirit appear). You may see a person or animal in your minds eye or you may sense what your guide looks like.
You may see a feather or see a tiny bird, or a bright colour ball floating above you. You may see tiny specs of glitter floating around you or you could even see heat waves or a flash of light – it all depends on how your guide would like to show themselves to you.
Write down in your journal your experiences, thoughts, feelings, visions and any other things that come to you during this exercise. It is so important to write it all down even if it seems insignificant.
If ever you feel lonely or feel as thought you would like conformation that your guides and angels are with you, then all you have to do is ask your guides and angels to send you a sign and they will. You may find that you keep finding tiny white feathers lying around, or find tiny hearts, birds or see angel shaped clouds. Your angels and guides will always let you know they are with you by leaving you little signs – especially signs that keep repeating themselves.
For example:
When ever I feel down or lonely or just need conformation that my angels and guides are with me, I always ask them to please send me signs. I will then find that I keep finding tiny white feathers appear. Some times I will keep finding tiny hearts and heart shapes appear in unusual places or I may feel my guides and angels around me. I love receiving these signs as it brings me great comfort and lets me know that I am never alone.
Automatic Writing
Automatic Writing is a beautiful way in which you can connect with your spirit guides and angels. It is very simple and easy to do and does not take much time or effort. It may take a few attempts but keep up with it and before you know it, you will be having written or typed conversations with your guides and angels.
What is Automatic Writing?
Automatic writing is when a spirit works through you to pass on messages in written form. The spirit who is communicating to you will use your hand, pen and paper to pass on messages to you – they work through you to pass messages on. You can use a pen a paper to do automatic writing or even your key board and computer.
I perform automatic writing all the time when I perform readings for people or even preparing the lessons for this course. I would sit down and begin to write a lesson or perform a reading and before I know it I will be typing so fast with out even realising what I am typing. When I go back and read what I have written I am always surprised at how much info came through and can not even remember writing some of what I have written. What happened here was that angels and spirit were working through me to prepare each lesson or reading that I was performing.
How Does Automatic Writing Work?
When performing automatic writing one needs to quiet their mind and be in a complete state of relaxation and calmness. You also need to be on your own in a quiet environment where you will not be disturbed.
It is important to clear away any of the days chatter from your mind. It is always important to ask for protection for your self and your home before performing automatic writing. You can do this by calling upon the Archangel Michael and asking him to only allow spirits of the highest vibration to pass on messages to you.
This helps to block out any spirits who may be up to no good or who are negative. Once you are completely calm and relaxed then your mind goes into a kind of trance. It is then that your spirit guides and angels come to your side and work through you in your writing.
As mentioned above, I find automatic writing is extremely helpful to me – especially when performing readings for people. I will sit down by my pc and lay my fingers on the key board. I then ask my angels and spirit guides, as well as the angels and spirit guides of the person whom I’m performing a reading for to please come through.
I ask them to please help me to give the person an accurate and helpful reading. I ask my angels and guides, as well as the angels and guides of the person I am reading for, to work through me to help answer that persons question accurately and with as much detail as possible.
I will then calm my mind and block out any thoughts or mind chatter from my day. Once I feel completely relaxed I then close my eyes and concentrate on the person questions. I will then find that my fingers being typing so fast that it is hard to take in what I am writing. I do try to not look at what I’m writing but just trust what is coming through will be accurate. This is a perfect example of automatic writing – which I feel most psychics do even with out realising it.
When performing readings I will not only use the automatic writing but also hear words, see visions and symbols, pictures, have feelings, thoughts and sensations, and at times have spirits come to me with messages for the person I’m reading for. All the above is what helps me to give a person an accurate and helpful reading. These are all ways that our guides and angels talk to us and pass on messages.
I do not just use automatic writing when performing readings. At times when I am home alone I will sit down at my PC or with a pen and paper in front of me and ask my guides to come though and help answer some of my own questions. I have learnt so much form my guides and angels.
I learnt through automatic writing that one of my spirit guides is John the Baptist. I have also been given good advice on which path I should take in my life, and have had many of my troubling questions answered, as well as received messages from some of my loved ones who have passed over.
Automatic writing is a wonderful way of truly connecting with your guides and angels. You can do automatic writing either with a pen and piece of paper or on your PC – typing. It is entirely up to – find the method that you feel works best for you.
Automatic Writing Exercise
•1.) Find somewhere quiet to sit down. If you wish to type then sit at your pc with your fingers on the key board, if you wish to write then sit with a pen in your hand and a piece of paper in front of you. Get your hand in the writing position on the paper.
•2.) Make sure that you will not be disturbed
•3.) Put on some soft music and maybe light a candle or two if you feel this helps you to relax.
•4.) Call upon the Archangel Michael and say a little prayer of protection. Ask the Archangel Michael to only allow spirits of the highest vibration to come though. Below is a short prayer I usually use...
“Archangel Michael, I call upon you now. Please may you stand by my side and keep my family, home and myself protected through out this exercise. Please only allow spirits of the highest vibration to pass on messages to me. Thank you.”
•5.) At the top of your page or paper write down your question, and then ask your guides to please help to answer your question. If you wish to communicate with a loved one who has passed over, then ask that loved one to please pass messages onto you now.
•6.) Sit quietly and calm your mind. Try to push a side any chatter or thoughts from your day. Try feeling completely relaxed and know that you are safe as the Archangel Michael is by your side protecting you.
•7.) Once you feel completely relaxed and have calmed your mind then write down what ever comes to you even if it sound like gibberish.
Do not read what comes or judge it – just let it come and trust that what came to you are accurate messages. You may see pictures or symbols in your mind, you may hear words being said, you may have strange feelings or sensations come over you, or you may find that your hand just writes on its own. Just write down what ever comes into your mind – even if it is doodles.
•8.) Once you have finished writing and nothing else comes to you then thank your guides and angels for passing on messages to you. Thank the Archangel Michael for his protection too.
•9.) Put your paper somewhere safe or in your psychic journal or if typing then save it into a folder. Do not throw it away or delete it if you feel it is insignificant or a load of gibberish. It will be important to you at some point in your life.
You may find that it takes a couple of attempts before messages start to flow through. At first you may only receive a word or two or maybe even a doodle. Do not get disheartened or throw it a way. Keep it and keep the faith too. The more automatic writing you do the more messages that will come though.
If you read what you have written and you find that there are obscene words, depressive content or words that expresses a lot of anger and fear, then burn or delete the written work – as this may mean that a negative spirit has come through and passed on negative information.
