RE: spirit guide
Hi All
I feel that it also comees down to being content with yourself, meditation helps you to connect mind body and soul which is important when meeting guides, you don't need to be perfect just at ease with being with and by yourself, if you get what I mean. I have been lucky where I have always been able to sense guides and animal totems when they are near, but I have had years of doing it, but I know that it isn't easy, I had a tough time of it when it first started.
Allowing yourself that space each day to relax and take time out just for you is like a shining beacon to guides and they want to see you making that space and time as it shows commitment on your part in your learning. Meeting your guides is not the be all and end all, just the start really, they can bring you on a magical journey of self knowledge and spiritual awareness that can seem frightening at times but which will always leave you with a sense of wanting more and feeling more at peace each day.
With love
M!
RE: spirit guide
Hope you don't mind if i cut in but i'm really interested in this?
I've been told by one person that a have a woman as a guide, and someone else told me that i have an indian as a guide. The second person said that my guide had changed because i was attuned to Reiki 2. Either way i would love to meet my guide...actually i feel i 'need' to know someones there as things are so bad with illness in my family.
I've tried everything even begging saying that i need support and guidance..but nothing!
I am now starting to think that iam actually trying too hard and i've stopped.
The problem is though, i'm very frightened of the thought of 'seeing' my guide. I would rather see them in my minds eye.
I thought that i saw a figure in the corner of my eye almost a year ago, and i've slept with the light on ever since. I know this sounds stupid but it's a real fear i have.

I always start my meetings by climbing a tree, its always the same tree as it takes me to a safe place where i know only my friends can visit. Once i have climbed the tree the places change and so do the people depending on who i call for. your guides will show themselves when they feel you are ready for them.
the first time i ever saw my guide they gave me no name and no identity, they were cloaked and had a hood that covered their face. the second time i got a physical figure but no name. so next time i see her i hope i can ask for her name.

Hi Aura, you will find that you have many guides who come and go according to your development needs. You may meet some, or one, or even none if it is not yet time to do so.
As you said, you may have been trying too hard. Sometimes we get so caught up in asking and expecting that we miss the very subtle signs that are sent our way.

And therein lies your problem. Think about it - if someone you wanted to introduce yourself to was liable to have the screaming heebies when you so much as said 'Hello', then wouldn't you be a little cautious in your approach? 🙂
I'm not mocking your fear - it's very real and many people have similar fears - but until you begin to understand and clear that fear, you will block any attempts to get through to you. So - what exactly are you frightened of? Is it because of something that perhaps happened when you were a child? Or is it based on films and TV images?
To help, I would read up on this subject. Try Gordon Smith's books - he is very open and honest and describes how and what he senses so it may reassure you. Also, you may wish to go along to a spiritualist church with a friend. Messages only are given - no spirits obviously hopping around!
As Amethyst and others have said - your guides will show themselves when you are ready for them and not before. Trust yourself and them, Aura.

RE: spirit guide
Thanks for all the continuing discussion - it's fascinating. Sarajo your meditation is beautiful. I'll continue in my quest and will put my ego 'to bed' as a lot of you advise.
