I have been in contact with my spirit guide for about a year and some months now and am writing a book about my experience and how I developed/strenghened my contact. I am wondering what everyone else's experiences was like meeting there spirit guides whether they are animals, persons, family etc.
I can not tell you what my guide is. (it) won't like it and it will leave me. But It has shoed me much things and I have learned much from it.
I have a couple spirit guides so far. They're quite recent. I have the feeling I'll meet one who's been with me for a while soon. It's all about taking the journey to get there at this point. So far only animals.
I tried to invent mine at the age of 16, but even for me it was too far-fetched and I gave up on the idea.
I think fingermouse hit the nail on the head, yeah there imaginery friend(s) ...But, haha There is something more to it than the childish term may suggest. Many people are taught things about themselves or situations from these spirit guides, leading them to a better life. I deffinetly believe spirit guides are some sort of energy/entity that comes from another place other than in you and manifests itself in you. They tend to leave for many reasons and come back. If I were in a "blocked" state due to stress, or simply in a toxic state i wouldn't see my guide or if I did it would be fuzzy and the messages unclear and informal. From my experiences they don't directly tell you messages, such as "your doing this wrong", they tend to give me an impression which I am supposed to investigate. They don't necessarily give you things hand to mouth, when it is for your benefit they make you work for your gifts. I have found if they want to please a person other than you, there more likely to come right out with what they want you to do, think or act upon. It was Easter morning this past year when I was awoken by my spirit guide at the bottom of my bed wearing a bright yellow, off white dress. She then motioned to the closet. I haven't looked in the closet at my parents in over a year and knew I didn't have any clothes in there to wear, especially not for Easter. As I went to the closet I kept saying "there's nothing there" I opened the door and out stood a yellowoff white shirt, pressed. I put it on and went downstairs to meet with the family when my mother told me she put the shirt in my closet the night before so I could wear it today. Spirit guides come from a place called "imagination". Our social programming has taught us that imagination isn't "real". As to why we all think this I have come to disagree. Imagination is our own creation of thinking but maybe it is the only place "real" things come into reality.
So..... How does one "un-block" oneself? I ask because I don't seem to have any spirit guides. Several years ago I went through all the "asking/ritual/meditation" stuff I could find about contacting spirit guides and nothing. People I've been associated with are of the belief that "everybody has spirit guides" and I'm silently saying "Ummmm.... No not every body does" because I'm not finding/seeing any. Unless they would for some reason manifest as real animals, those I got. Back to my original question though, I'm in a real "toxic" atmosphere and feeling stressed constantly, have felt "blocked" from dreams for years (I don't really have them either) this blockage probably exists in waking life too...... Yet I still retain some empathic ability that I can't shield. (thus much of the "toxic" stuff) If this is beyond the scope of your experiance, I fully understand.
I meditated on getting a spirit guide for atleast 3-4 months trying every week probably 3-5 times a week. Then I stopped meditating for awhile, probably 1 year. I then did spirit guide meditations again for a month or so. Then another year passed as I attempted enjoying meditating. To tell you the truth I found my spirit guide very informally. I saw a actress that really stuck into my head as beautiful. This actor then was embodied by my spirit guide. I really thought this lady was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and was something that i could focus on. My guide used something I was already focused on to communicate with me. It was something that was easy to see, pleasant to the eye. spirit guide (the correct name?)I mean spirit guide sounds like the wrong name to call it. When your just meeting your guide its more like a psychic friend. As you get to know this being and they do guide you then perhaps they would be called spirit guides. My spirit guide I would more call a love guide. I mean her name is amour. Forgot to add that just because you want something doesn't mean you get it right away, even if you go on a guide quest. It took me two years till I found her.
The conscious/subconscious/unconscious mind states are intricately complex and woven together, perhaps it may be more of a flowerily explanation of the subconscious as you’ve become more identified with your “True Inner Nature” vs. an outside entity and this new awareness allows realization you’re not the body/mind but that which lies beyond the mind, therefore one begins to listen/operate through the intelligence arising from one’s innermost being.
I have recently been reading and working on touching contact with past lives and spirit guides... can you tell us more about spirit guides/psychic friends? And how beneficial has Amour been for your life?
