I met my first Spirit Guide....

[♥Starlene]

When was the first time you met your spirit guide? What inspired that moment? I am curious to know....

[devikpani]

wow Star i thought of same question & thought of asking everyone,but u made it. hip hip hooray.

[♥Starlene]

Hehehehe, must be the same birthday we share..... So when was your first experience with a spirit guide of yours?

[spirituallygiving]

Well, I wanted to meet mine so I did a meditation. I had been thinking about it a lot for some reason, so did a meditation. While doing it, suddenly the image of a boy popped into my head. He looked at me so excitedly and I remember thinking..."but...but you're a kid." Hah!

It's my brother from a past life, one of my teachers confirmed it for me to give me some confidence I'll bet He has grown since the first time I saw him...weird! But I call him Josh and have conversations with him about this and that. I often doubt that he is real, and I wonder if he is really my guide or just another child who likes to hang out with me and made his presence known.

Funny: when I moved into my new cubicle at work, there was a toy car there...no one knows where it came from. I have a funny feeling I know hahah!

Something interesting: I used to always see children only.
The day I received my Reiki Master/Teacher attunement, I was working on my teacher shortly afterward and saw a man who identified himself as "your teacher." I have never seen anyone like him...he's a very large man, pale, pale skin, bald with designs on his face that look like Henna or something! He wears a flowing robe, it reminds me of Greek times or something. Anyway, trying to figure out where he is from.

I also met a reiki guide of mine, a small and humble tibetan man on that day. Looks like I'm starting to see more than kids!!!

Good question!

[Peace]

hmmm.......not sure i've actually MET any, but do communicate with them and they with me.... have even heard one a couple times. still working on it, though. i will one day and will surely share. lol.......

[devikpani]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm i have not met them yet,will let u all know when i meet them.Im very eager to meet them too.

Several of mine have shown up multiple times when I've been having a reading or receiving a healing. I did see one once very briefly when I was getting a sound healing/shamballa treatment from my old roommate. All of a sudden in my mind's eye I could see a bluish purlple being in a long robe sitting behind me treating my head.

Otherwise I haven't really "met" them but I know they are there

[Sloan]

I've always known my grandmother was around to guide me. I often feel her presence. And I've felt the presence of others but not been formally introduced yet; even seen them very similar to how Christine describes it but not "met". Hopefully soon!

[katnips]

I think some of my guides showed up in my dreams as a child ;)however, they were animal spirits The first time I realised I had met my guide, she even told me her name...I did not realize it, just know what she showed me saved me
I met my reiki guides , with a guided meditation from my reiki master, before my reiki 1 attunement..and met another while I was being given the attunement...amazes me, I'm sure there are more I will meet

I met my two spirit guides, Nora and Asanora, during a psychic channeling. That was February 3, 2001 and my entire life changed. Awesome!

I'm starting way before, but it will fit in, you'll see. A while ago, I had an apartment and me and my girls knew we had a friendly ghost. She would turn the stero on and off at various times of the day and night. We never felt scared. We started calling her Sarah. And we lived happy.

The day I gave birth to Sara, we had picked out 3 or 4 other names we wanted. But when the lady came in to get info about pictures (apparently you have to have a name) she asked what to call her. Without a thought I said Sara Taylor Rose. I have no idea where this came from. Stacey looked at me like I was crazy, but said, whatever you want to name her is fine. So another Sara.

Then, probably 2 or 3 years ago, I was lying in bed and doing a lot of thinking. I was probably meditating without being aware. But anyway, I saw in my minds eye, this beautiful lady with long dark hair and told me she was my guide and her name was Sarah. He told me she would only be with me for a little while. After a while, she said she had to go but someone else would be along. I have been waiting to see who she is going to send. But I know she is still around me.

On my first Reiki appointment, I asked my practitioner who my guides were. I told her in no uncertain terms that I wanted to know my guides...I wanted names, descriptions, concrete facts. I couldn't see 'em, but I knew my reiki practitioner could. (OK, I was kind of "testing" her....I was more than slightly skeptical at first.)

She gave me what I thought was her standard speech, "Joanie, your guide was a Young Native American woman, very pretty, giggly, long braids...says you need to lighten up, have more fun in your life....she's always with you...yada yada yada...." OK...so how do I know she's with me all the time, I asked my practitioner. She continued, (as I was thinking..yeah...right..suuuure...) Joanie, your guide is telling me that if you hear wind chimes off in the distance, that is her. If your in the grocery store, and you hear laughter in the next aisle, that is her....oh, now she is saying something about...Feathers?"
Whoah! Hold it a minute...that got my attention.

Feathers? Ten days earlier, I had been under general anesthesia, and when I was waking up...I saw an angel with humongous wings, tons of feathers, standing over me, sheltering me with it's wings. I had not told anyone my experience, since I figured it was just all those good drugs they gave me. Actually, I didn't think about it much until that day at the metaphysical shop when the practitioner mentioned it. If that wasn't cool enough, when I went home that day, I found a feather on my bathroom floor! But wait, there's more.....

Next month, when my insurance company paid all my doctor bills for that surgery....guess how much the anesthesiologist got paid?

$444.00 I kid you not!

[yogagurl]

wow, very cool!

[♥Starlene]

I met my first guide when I got a reading from a lady that I knew and she told me all about two of them, and a third one that is a red tailed hawk. I sometimes see him (the hawk) around, his name is Chester... The other two are around sometime, one is like my business partner, she inspires me and puts things in front of my path to guide me.... It's sort of cool, when I get one of those "things" laid in my path, I always get chill bumps like,,, ok,,, your being guided to do this...

The other is a healing guide, she helps me when I am doing Reiki and attunements...

Then there is Grandmother, and Two Trees, and gosh a whole list of spiritual beings that just seems to have floated in my life at some point or another since. It's like when the door was opened for me, it FLEW open... kaboom....

There are others, I sort of feel like there are Goddesses, Gods, Angels etc... There are a bunch of spiritual beings out there to help us,,, like us, they are all part of the one source, only we are the physical manifestation of that source and they are the Angelic/Spiritual Guide/God/Goddess... etc manifestations of our source.

I have recently been introduced to a new guide named Astar, I know funny name,,, but ya, there I go saying something synchronistic is "funny".... But anywho,,, Astar is helping me organize myself and allow some new energies integrate in me. I am seriously going through some major life changes, and for the good now and Astar is one of the reasons that is happening.

Guess this is where the whole interest in others guides is coming in for me too

well i can honestly say i saw my father n law in my kitchen hes been dead now for over 10 years he was staring straght at me and i did know why i kepy seeing him thinking only he wanted to say somthing to me, and then i hada angel reading to find out if there was a messege and he was just telling me how grateful he was i was in his sons life and i was emtional when i heard that and touched cuz i never ever met the man he died be fore i met y husband.
i also saw what i think and was told was my daughter quardian angel i remeber her so clear she was very young will shoulder length hair and a white robe or aura all around her i saw her as i was looking over at my daughter one night she was laying on the couch and i glanced and her angel was standing towards her looking at her it was really a sight to see, that was y first angel experince

[yogagurl]

wow, very cool!

[Anamere]

That is a really neat story, High.

It's interesting because when my children would smile as newborns (which I always really thought was just gas) I used to whisper in their ears "tell those Angels you can't go with them... I need to keep you here with me." And I'd hug them a little tighter.

Makes me think it probably was an Angel. Very sweet.

[katie14]

That is a really great story. Thanks for sharing!

[nathangela]

I have never met or seen any of my guides.I was told at the "Mind ,Body,Spirit"expo by a psychic that my guide was named fredrico and he was like one of those ranchers from Spain with a long mustache that he was twirling on the ends.He said Fredrico was jumping up and down for him to let me know he was there.I wasn't getting a reading....the guy just walked up to me and told me.He also told me I had several attachments as well.So I walked away going "geeze great thanks....attachments...that's all I need".I 'm unsure about it all but he told my friend her guuides mnames(which she already knew.He also gave us both crystal wands.Ok sorry to babble!

[saffy]

All babbling and rambling allowed here. It is great to hear about everyone's experiences.
