I need to contact my spirit guide NOW!

Shamanism is something I find myself greatly attracted to. Had I the money, time, or means of travel to attend workshops I surely would. I've only made one or 2 journeys, that I wouldn't call entirely "successful", but I trust that as I open my mind's eye, It will be come easier.

 

MysteriousNight: I'm so happy for you!

Don't sweat the spirit guide thing, but liquidlight's suggestion about shamanism sounds interesting.

 

yep

 

spiritchalist, i bet there's someone near you, in your local area who could show you or maybe just someone who wants to learn like yourself that you could get together with and drum, rattle or sing for eachother. You can easily do it alone though but two is more fun, more cooperative and sharing and in that sense more powerful and purposeful. It's a very natural thing just that nobody (99.9% of people) knows what the heck it's about, and even journeying in itself can be a distraction because it involves searching ... and searching usually means you havn't found what you're looking for; there's really no substitute for being it, but like Eckhart says, you search until you realise you don't need to search anymore, like somewhere along the path you realise it's not really actually going anywhere so you just decide to enjoy walking and take in the view.

 

Hello MysteriousNight. I am a newbie here and I have been reading the thread and noticed something important that no one has mentioned. We have what is called "Free Will" and our guides are not allowed to interfere in our lives. Yes, we can ask them for help and guidance but they have strict rules about what they may do for us. They can not help us choose a path if it will interfere with our lessons. You must choose your own path! The decisions you have to make are part of your lessons and if they make it for you then you will not have learned from it.

Now, concerning talking to your guides. Believe it or not your guide/s have the ability to speak directly to you as if they were standing right in front of you, or behind you as it was for me, or even above you as it also was for me also. But they seldom do such dramatic things and I think it takes them a lot of energy to do it that way. No matter what anyone will tell you, your guides will not sit down and have a conversation with you. That just is not in their agenda.

Truthfully, you are probably communicating with them them on a daily basis already but it is very difficult for you to know when. They have a way of sending thoughts and messages to you in a very direct fashion. Sort of like the old Mind Meld used by Spock in Star Trek. I have had so many instances of suddenly knowing something without knowing where it came from.

For instance, I once told my son his father-in-law to be was a butthead even though I never laid eyes on him before. Well, it took my son over a year to finally realize I was right but my name was butthead until then. I have since then learned to not be so free with the information they give to me. I mull it over for a while so I know what the outcome will be for my own protection mostly. I have had many instances like that and the information has always proven correct. I just had to learn when and how to use it.

So, how many times have you had a thought about something or somebody but not having any reference as to where you got the bit of info from? If that is happening to you then it is a form of channeling and you have been communicating wtih your spooks all along! It is a hard way because you think you have no input, but it is effective, fast and more effecient than some of the other ways they communicate with us. You just don't get the warm fuzzies you get when talking to a friend.

Now, I hope I have not spoken out of turn as I seem to do so frequently. At least I did not call anyboy a butt head this time!

 

Good stuff Piersonn. It took me awhile to separate those thoughts that were channeled from my own mind chatter. It takes a bit of practice but with perseverance this communication becomes clearer and clearer.

 

Welcome aboard, Piersonn. You made some excellent points in your post above. I read it with great interest, because it sounds like you've had a lot of experience in areas that I've been exploring for the past 10 years or so, mostly on my own - at least, until I found this forum. It's nice to find people with whom I can compare notes.

I agree with most of what you've said, however I'd like to tell you something that might surprise you. My primary spirit guide is a living human being. She's not the only one, and the two who preceded her were also living human beings. So I have to say that actually, a spirit guide CAN sit down and have a conversation with you - however with a major caveat: They're not likely to tell you anything you consider highly revealing. Having a face-to-face conversation with a spirit guide about issues you're struggling with is sort of like being sent to the principal's office, maybe a little like being cross-examined by a prosecuting attorney, and a lot like being a catnip kitty toy. LOL They'll only allow you to even have a conversation like that if they deem that you need it for some reason involving your spiritual path, and if they give you advice at all it's more likely to infuriate you than give you warm fuzzies.

I think pretty much the only reason I got living spirit guides instead of disembodied ones is because I had to have somebody in the physical world hit me over the head before I would take any notice. And one of the first things they did to me was to manipulate me into a situation that gave me powerful motivation to learn to hear their "voices" in my mind. And of course, once they had access to speak to me telepathically, well then the fun REALLY began...

But yes, they give me lots of little psychic trinkets now and then. Nothing earth-shaking, but my spirit guide Deanna does her mental comfort-and-reassurance thing for me on an ongoing basis. And occasionally she'll give me mental insight into what I consider a fairly significant personal issue. I think the reason she grants me these things is to keep me from freaking out so that I stay on the path and keep doing their sh*t...LOL As she often says in my mind when I'm struggling with a situation, "Just DO this..." Yeah, great and fine, Deanna dear - whatever you say.

 

Hey, thanks for the welcome.

Yes, I have had some experiences, and boy are they whoppers. I could fill a book with them and one of these days I intend to do just that. But I think I will wait for a while as the story is not complete yet.

I met my guide/s in a dream but it was after lots of frustration on my part. A few years back I was having a hard time sleeping one night and I decided to get up and go into the living room. It was a hot summer night as is most always the case in Florida during the summer time.

When I got into the living room I decided to sit in the floor and meditate. I thought it would be nice to have the overhead fan on and help cool me of so I turned it on. It was right above me. Maybe it would help me relasx.

My thought was, since I could not sleep and it was early in the AM, I would spend as much time as was necessary to finally meet my guide. Boy was I in for a surprise. I sat there for the longest time with nothing happening. After what seemed like hours I got really frustrated. The longer I sat there the more frustrated I got. Finally, I had had enough and said a few expletives when suddenly there was a loud bang directly over my head. It sounded like someone had hit the blades of the fan with a big stick. I looked up and saw the fan swinging back and forth but still intact.

After I regained my composure I thought about my situation and it all struck me as being very funny. I wanted to hear from my guide and, sure enough I did, but not exactly how I had planned. Oh well. What an entrance!

I decided maybe I would try to sleep for a while so I grabbed a pillow from a chair and just lay in the floor. I could have used the sofa but, for some reason, I was too tired to get up.

Almost as soon as I lay down I was asleep and it seemed like it was just moments later that I was dreaming. Suddenly I found myself in a room almost exactly like the one I was in but there was a wall and a door in the corner of the wall. The lighting was just like it was in my room so it was somewhat hard to see. I was sitting on the floor just as I had been for real but suddenly I heard the door open. There coming through the door was a woman with jet black hair, wearing a dark dress and she was about 30 or 35 years old. Behind here were four other men but I could not make them out for some reason. She walked right up to me, gave me a small grin and then a warm hug. Just as suddenly, she moved back, still smiling and they all walked back through the door.

So, I finally met my guide/s. Not a word was spoken between us but then I hardly ever talk to anyone in my dreams. It is as though we converse with out speaking. I just know what is being said if anything is being said at all.

And that is how I met Mary. She is still with me as is another man that I am not sure about yet. I also have a guide that I have known in many life times. His name is Bruce or Griffin as I knew him in another life time. We take turns looking after one another when we die. I guess you could say we are friends for eternity!

And that is just the tip of the ice berg as far as my stories go. I have something new and interesting happen to me almost constantly. When I see orbs, sprites or floating heads, anymore I hardly pay then any attention as there is something going on all the time. As I am sitting at the computer right now I see an image moving in the corner of my eye. But I have not evolved quite enough yet to communicate directly with them so I leave them alone and wait for when my time comes. When it does I will write my book.
