Spirit Guides, where are you?

[saffy]

I've talked about my spirit guide before and now, I'm not sure what's happening.

I have seen my guides right before going to sleep or in meditation and it has been a long time.

I'm sure they are they, but having lots of trouble making contact now. The last "known" one was a little boy and I really never understood his presence, but nonetheless, he was there.

I'm sure I am not ready for the next one, but does anyone have any other ideas as to how I might be able to make contact again?

This seems like a silly question since I already know, but support here may help. Thanks



(sorry, I just look for reasons to put those up now)

Saffy,
My first thought when I read your post was to try some writing. Write out a question for your guides and then write down whatever comes to mind for an answer. Sometimes I find it hard to visualize, and need validation in other ways. Maybe this will help you know that they are there with you, even if you don't see them.

Hi Saffy-kins

I agree and concure!

If connecting with visuals isn't working writing is AWESOME! I've never had problems with visual's until working on channeling my Soul Name. I did it with writing.

I've been amazed at some of the things that have come through writing. I've hard different takes on how to connect and write. Some people say drawing some spirally type loopy things over and over until you just start writing. This never worked for me either.

So I began writing questions and waiting for the answers similar to what Caroline Myss has you do when connecting with Archatypes.

This was an amazing break through for me! Maybe try this.

I've never tried that, great idea. I would never have thought of that one.

when i write i just ask my angels/guides to write through me,,,, oh man, you think i can ramble here,,, you should see my journals!

yeah, sometimes we all have those 'quiet' times. sometimes we get busy with other things and the contact gets cold, but it can always be rekindled. i've found that when i meditate and talk to them, they come back. i let them know that i've been busy or whatever the case may be, but that i don't mean to neglect them, ya know? then i just ask them to join me in my meditation and they usually do. it sounds simple, but it works. these ladies have great ideas, too, though. i may have to try the writing, actually. i like that idea.

[saffy]

Very doable ideas...great minds, eh. thanks guys

I never thought about journaling with my guides. That is an amazing idea. I know one of my guides by name and he comes around when I need him but not unless I ask, or he feels if I need him. Is that normal? Then again, what is normal about these wonderful things right?

Saf, we all go along different paths in life, even our guides, everything is changing and is change in itself. I am glad people are bringing up old topics, that helps us figure out where we are from where we were,,, and makes me want to read over some old ones too!

I love to write with my guides or angels, it is very enlightening when I do. I would suggest anyone drawn to it, try it... Just get yourself into that relaxed state of mind and ask your questions... I used to draw a lot too and it would be like a meditation for me and I would just get guidance that way,,, in my mind. It sounds weird, but sometimes its like a conversation in my head... Most of the times though, I can tell you happen and have happened when I was quiet or meditating. It is my belief that if we are always doing something, listening to something or what not, then thats where our focus is. If we turn off outside distractions and noise and listen then thats when we get messages...

I have my ups and downs, but it seems like each down moment, is smaller and less frequent and just becomes like a way of life.. Like in the car, I listen to my ipod occassionally, like an audiobook or even less occassionally music, but mostly i just drive and am quiet, messages come to me like that too. I think we are so "plugged in" and "turned on" in an electronical sort of way that all of that noise just keeps us from being able to hear and feel our messages

Just my ramblings hehe

How do you know if it's your "ego" or actually your guide?
Sorry...this is a question Nathan and I have been trying to figure out since we started reading Eckhart Tolles "A New Earth".

I see my spirit guides in my minds eye but can't seem to communicate wtih them. And I have gotten specific message - like after my father died and that was November and it was just about Memorial Day and I was resting and I kept getting this thought "go to the cemetery" 3 times. Well, finally went to the cemetery and unbeknowst to us the people we purchased my father's gravestone from had placed the stone and never called us. Pretty cool huh?
