I wanted to share my experiences, thoughts and feelings on the subject of Spiritual contact.
Usually spiritual contact will begin to happen to an individual soon after they have been 'prepared' for it. This preparation can be in the form of a series of emotional, physical and mental challenges and changes that occur - not sleeping, eating correctly, emotional mood swings and just generally feeling lethargic for example. Lots of spiritual changes start to take place, some that are in line with what the induividual can cope with, for others it can be overwhelming.
The best piece of advice I can give to anyone who is experiencing a hard time in their life is to use the spiritual help available, really use it, spend the time getting to know your spirit guides and guardian angel (it doesnt happen over night so keep working at it) this at least will help ease some of the pain.
For example in my own life I tend to have visitors who stay too long when they come to visit almost every day. I put in a request to my guides and also Archangel Michael for them to leave within a certain time (sometimes 30 mins if they are loud lol) 99.9% of the time it works, unless there is another spiritual reason they need to stay - which is always fine as I know I am meant to help them in some way. I just 'know' when its time to ask for some help.
Guardian Angel Contact
I first tried this simple exercise when I was experiencing some heartache in my own love life and found it helpful. Lay down on top of your bed, not under the covers and quietly collect your thoughts and still yourself. Now ask for your guardian angel to step into your aura and ask them to touch your arm/head to let you know they are here, you can say this any way you wish, positively of course lol then wait - you may feel a warm sensation or a light touch on your skin. Keep your mind free from thoughts as you do this. Once you feel it simply ask their name, and accept the first name that they give you, its sometimes simply just put into your mind - mine is called Mellissa - and provided the name just 'appears' in your mind, then you can be sure that is it. If you have to think about a name - it probably isnt it. The main thing to do when doing this exercise is to be relaxed, confident and understand yourself as being able to communicate as a spiritual being.
In order to help you, you can utilise the help of your guardian angel in many ways, you can ask them to talk with the guardian angels of others - which I did many times. For example ask your guardian angel to talk with the G/angel of someone you are having problems with, ask them to help you sort things out. Due to you wanting to help yourself with problems, that is where a lot of support will begin to happen as self reliance is a positive spiritual law.
Spirit Guides
Many people ask me how to contact their spirit guides, the first rule of thumb is to know there is no right or wrong way to actually do this, it simply comes from a variety of ways and influences. Some people experience gifted abilities as a child others tap into this as an adult, regardless of this we are all given the chance to evolve spiritually enough to open ourself up for contact.
Find your own balance and self awareness first, and let this flow. If you need some help then find an excellent spiritual mentor who will share their knowledge and experience without bias or ego. Before attempting contact you can say a prayer, or simply ask to be protected with white light and love (visualising white light coming down on you like a shower, I do this while I am in the shower in the morning). Until you get confident to tap into your guides without even thinking about it, its a good idea to ask for protection, as until you feel proficient contacting them you can take steps 2-3 times per week to protect yourself spiritually cleansing your energy talking and thanking your guides for communicating with you and burning sage/sea salting your home.
Be confident and relaxed, light a white candle and sit upright in a comfortable chair. Close eyes and take some deep breaths, take note how your energy feels and say your prayers of protection now. Simply state that you want to meet your guides and to help the process you can visualise yourself in a lovely comforting place, this can either be in beautiful garden, a lovely room or even at the beach, the main effect of this is that the place make you feel happy, warm and loved - you can add as many comforts as you like - flowers, beautiful comfortable chair/bed. Try to feel the feelings that make you feel happy when you are there, smell, touch and taste the surroundings around you keeping them completely to your choice and liking.
Now ask for your guides to come forward to you - you may hear them or feel them first, and it may take a few times to do this exercise before you do that's okay and remember not to push things, just keep it naturally flowing. Eventually you will be able to see and hear them and you will be able to talk to them, ask their name - (they can be family members who have passed over, young/old, male or female guides, also they could be from a past life you had. The more you open up and do this exercise the more proficient you will be at conversing with them and thus ask for some help for yourself and to be able to help and gain insight for others.
Finally remember one thing to always follow your own spiritual development and have the confidence to trust in yourself always!
My next blog will be focusing on Energy and intution.
