Learn How to Connect to Your Spirit Guides and Receive Guidance From Them!
Connect to Your Spirit Guides
We each have access to guides who were once human and then crossed over to the other side. They are available to help us with life questions and challenges and offer loving guidance to us on our path. They know what it is like to be faced with problems and they offer guidance as a way of assisting us on our journey. Spirit Guides love to share what we need in order to live a richer, happier existence.
You can learn to turn down the noise of your busy mind and the opinions of others and to turn up the wisdom of your spirit and work with your guides to unlock not only your true potential but ultimately, your happiness! Try the Free Meditation below to help you connect to your guides!
Free Guide to Connect to Your Spirit Guides
If you are really wanting to connect to your spirit guides, learning to surrender will help. Surrender is really the key to any kind of meditation practice. Once you understand that the first step to connect to spirit guides is to release your tight hold of your personal identity and your perceptions of the physical world, then you will shift into the proper state of consciousness needed to open to a higher state of awareness. Reaching that higher state means you are tuned in, tapped in and ready to receive messages from spirit or your higher self!
Reaching Zero State to Connect to Your Spirit Guides
There is no right or wrong way to meditate in order to get to that higher state or frequency. Some people use drumming, some use dance, some meditate quietly. The real key to becoming a good receiver is that you must reach that zero point, the point where you are completely empty. In this state, you won’t have any attachment to anything or anyone. There is no wishing for anything or desire for anything (you release the mentality of “I want”). You don’t have any hate or love for anything. You must reach the quiet state of calm and peace. It’s a place of halfway (picture the middle of positive and negative- the zero point).
In order to connect, you must set your intention and when you first start out in meditation, you can use the hands to help you connect.
Energy Hand Shake Meditation to Connect to Your Spirit Guides
I call this meditation an “energy handshake.” This is a great meditation to connect to your spirit guides!
Sit in a comfortable chair and close your eyes.
Take 3 deep breaths in and out, each time, your shoulders dropping.
Place your right hand, palm up into the sky at about heart level and visualize your guide or angel taking your right hand.
Then place your left hand, palm up to the sky at about heart level and visualize your guide taking your left hand.
Now in your mind’s eye, visualize your guide’s face.
Is it male or female, old or young?
Ask their name.
Simply feel the energy between the two of you.
You will feel a difference from one guide to another, just as you do when you shake hands with other people.
At this point, ask your guide or angel a question.
You can do this verbally or in your mind.
You will know when they answer because you will hear the answers immediately.
Only ask the most pressing question and then close down by thanking your guide.
Finally, sit in quiet for a moment and reflect.
Open your eyes and move your hands and feet when you are ready.
Practice Being a Receiver
As you become more of a receiver, enter your meditation with an open heart and have no judgments or expectations. Then simply allow the feeling and images to emerge. This is a really great practice for building up your awareness of energy. It helps you understand what it takes to connect with another’s energy as well.
How to Connect to Your Spirit Guides and Those on the Other Side
This practice is something you can do with people here in the physical form, but this is also the basis behind connecting with spirit. In order to connect with spirit, you must become egoless and detached. You must be so empty that you reach a place where all the small stuff doesn’t matter. Once you attain this, you will realize that you are connected to everything because you will have access to a higher state.
What does it mean to have access to a higher state?
Here’s an example. Lots of people ask me why it is that some people can hear spirit or communicate with deceased loved ones and why others cannot. Well, it simply comes down to, are you willing to be a receiver? Are you willing to become quiet enough and reach that zero point so that you can be a clear channel for the divine information that you have access to at all times? Are you willing to set aside all the beliefs you have about yourself? How about your beliefs about the physical world? This is the adjustment that’s required if you want to connect.
Emotions Can Block Our Connection
Sometimes we are so emotional or want something so badly that we cannot tune in. Our emotion and desires cause the block or “static” that doesn’t allow us to clearly hear, feel, or see the other side. It’s not like the other side is even that far away. It’s all around us. We breathe it in. It’s a part of who we are. It’s simply a matter of being quiet enough that you can resonate with it.
Spirit sometimes utilizes friends or mediums because people may be too emotional or want a connection too badly. They are not resonating in their spirit, and therefore, they will not be able to hear the messages clearly. This proves true for when we are in a state of wanting as well. Wanting causes suffering and that comes from the ego.
Spirit Uses It’s Own Way to Communicate
You must be completely calm, still and peaceful in order to hear the other side. Trust me, they want to communicate with you, but they cannot get through to you if you are clouded with perceptions and beliefs (especially about HOW they should be communicating to you). They are not here in the physical, so they must communicate their messages in other ways… ways that we may not expect.
Have No Expectations When Trying to Connect to Your Spirit Guides
You must approach meditation or being with the other side with NO EXPECTATIONS for anything because trust me, it will be a surprise in how they connect with you. And this is part of the process of your expansion. It’s often why we have the soul contracts that we have with people who pass away. They promise to always stay connected with us, as we are all a part of this learning process.
Our greatest challenge is to learn to resonate at that calm, peaceful state so that we can connect. That is the biggest form of self love that you can offer yourself. It tells the universe that you love being a part of this experience and that you acknowledge your spirit. If you are clouded with emotion and desire, it’s like you are throwing off the connection.
Think of connecting to spirit like using a telephone
Emotion is static. You cannot hear the other side clearly if there is static. Realize that you are the one in control of producing the static. You can choose to throw off the connection or not. Spirit(s) are already resonating at a peaceful state. They often feel the challenge of wanting us to know that they are close. The biggest gift we can offer them is to be a clear being so that we can receive their messages of love. Know that they are always beside you. They will always be available to offer you knowledge, guidance and love. All you have to do is learn to tune in! It’s as easy as turning the radio dial to the right station!
