How to connect with your spirit guides

I want to offer you this exercise to find out what your guide has to say to you. This is also a good way to connect with your higher self and to simply relax and recharge. All you need to do is spend five minutes (or more if you'd like) in the morning and evening meditating. Just go somewhere quiet and allow yourself to relax. The easiest way to do this is to sit or lay down. Breathe in slow and deep, imagining a cleansing white light entering you that comes from your guide. The white light fills you. When you exhale, imagine all of the negativity in your life being pressed out through your feet and going into the center of the earth and burning up. Do this a few times until you feel some sort of shift or change in you, no matter how small. While you do this you can say one or two affirmations that you create for yourself. Make them short and simple so that they can get into your subconscious and out into the universe. Something like, "I am connecting with my guide!

"I am in a loving and passionate relationship. I'm pursuing my goals. My life is peaceful, and all is well. I send positive energy to those around me."

While you meditate imagine a circle of white or gold light surrounding you. Only goodness and soul lessons can come through this protective circle sent by your higher guide. You are safe at all times within this circle. You can also imagine this protective light around anyone you love. Whenever you feel off balance or bad in any way, just imagine your protective circle all around you. It's kind of like being inside a huge egg. Your energy can cleanse itself and it will help to keep out "psychic attacks" and ward off "psychic vampires." You can repeat to yourself, "I am safe at all times within my protective circle of light. Good things come to me daily because I deserve love, success, prosperity, happiness and health."

After you've done this, and have your eyes closed, allow any pictures, scenes, words, feelings... anything to come through. When you're done make some notes and circle anything that looks promising. I can guarantee the more you practice this, the more spirit can come through to guide you and offer you the answers you're looking for. It's so much more meaningful when we can get the information from our guides ourselves.

Good Luck!
