Welcome to Gaia! ::

Currently, I am aware of 2 guides. The one to my left takes on the form of a blue light. I mostly see her in meditations. The one to my right usually appears as a mostly grey coloured timber wolf. He appears more in my dreams.

Ocassionally, a white squirrel pops in and sits on my shoulders to natter in my ear before taking off again. He was a guide I had through highschool and college. I dubbed him "Squirrel Bait" or "Nuts" for short. Before him, it was Shyenna a figure dressed in hooded dark robes and cloak. She was the first guide I met when my uncle first taught me how to meditate.

When I first learned how to contact them it was through meditation. My uncle started me off with the usual breathing excercises anchoring light and silencing the brain chatter, then I went to a quiet place within my heart and asked to meet my guides. That was how I met Shyenna and squirrel bait.

When I started learning about auras and how to sense how far my aura extended I started feeling squirrel baits weight on my shoulder and eventually the blue light and grey wolf.

Dreams and just being in a tranquil state usually are the best times to sense them. But some people may not be meant to see their guides, depending on their purpose here on earth, but what methods have you tried so far?

that is cool. Sounds like it might be guides, but they will let you know.

I don't know how your friend is showing you how to meet your guides, but I have learned to let them come to you. If this is a repeat to something you have already tried I am going to appologize in advance but I will offer it anyway for anyone else who might like to try.

The next time you meditate, start off by doing your breathing exercises and what ever method you use to relax all of your body. You can imagine light coming down or physically tighten and relax each muscle 3 times starting from your head going down to your toes.

Then imagine going into your heart area (chakra) look at your heart and imagine there being a door there. Open it and walk through into a little clearing of a wooded area. To one side a small clift with a bit of a waterfall coming over it and into a pool of water and behind the waterfall you can catch sight of a cave. In the middle of a clearing is a fairly large rock with a flat top that looks like it would make an excellent place to sit. Once you have had a bit of a chance to look at the scenery go sit on the rock. Quietly anounce you are here to meet those guides who would be best suited to assist you upon your life journey, and wait.

This is where patience may need to come it and don't judge or fear what you see and be prepared to expect the unexpected. But the idea is to let the guides come to you. Some might peak at you a few times or circle above your head or wander around the edge of the clearing. Don't try talking, reaching or rushing towards them. Just sit quietly and let them come to you and let them make the first contact. The only time you should get off the rock is if another door or stairs appear. But let that image come to you on it's own and don't force it to appear.

It may not work the first time, but hopefully it will give you some insight as to what might be around you. And there is a reason I say don't judge or be fearful of what you see. Usually the form of a guide will take on a shape that is familiar to us, but also identify its purpose. Human costumes are easy enough, flora, fauna and scenery (for one of my friends the clift was what spoke to them) may require some research, and the same goes for colours, lights/darkness, shapes and forms.

I hope that helps
if it does let me know ok.
If not we will try something else.

ok, the first time i tried the meditation, no one/nothing came and i sat on the rock for what seemed like eternity, but the second time i tried a night later.. first i sat on the rock for a while and it seemed like nothing was going to happen, but then, just as i was about to come out of the mediation i saw a blueish/grayish figure (is that normal?) we talked for a while..well, not really talking, but communicating...erg, can't explain- telepathy kinda.. and the longer we communicated, the more the light seemed to fade and the figure became clearer and more defined. eventually it (i'm pretty sure she by the voice) left and i came out of the meditation and it had appearently been like a half hour which is way longer than my ususal 10 minute meditations (i know, kind of pathetic redface but i can never seem to hold it for longer than like 10 min ) and i was so excited!! thank you so much for the mediation suggestion!

I've contacted my spirit guides many times, although now they're more cosmic and wave-like so it's more odd to comunicate with them now (also I haven't been meditating nearly enough lately!! rolleyes ).
But my most vivid & first expirience contacting spirit was with Mama wolf. When i was first begining my quest I had recieved a figurine from someone. Of a mama wolf and her cub. Later that night i was relaxing and met my spirit guide. she was very nurturing and wise. to help me have something physical i asked her to embody the mama wolf in my new figurine and she did so kindly. She helped me grow and develop spiritually, my first guide that I knew of.
Since then i've moved on in a sense but occasionally I'll talk with her. She's always there for me if i need her. A kind and loving mother i can turn to in times of despare. I can feel her energy now and it's great.

what I've learned, i my expirience is that you can first feel them. sense them. but it's ALWAYS a loving, caring, wise, and teaching energy that comes through. Like the energy of a compassionate friend or parent. They're usually willing to comply with you when it comes to what they look like. Ask them to show themselves in a way they want to, but that it comforting to you as well.

Hope that was some help. If you have any questions about spirit i'd love to help. That's the one thing that I'm really good at.

Namaste,

My ancestors have always been close to me, and have watched over me.
I have a Gaurdian Angel whom my mother met. I was traveling to Canada,
with some other missionaries. There were only three of us sissters.
I bid farewell to my family and boarded the plane.
18 months latter I came home with thoes same sister missionaires.
My mother watched as we came off the plane. this was before 9/11.
My mother kept asking me where the 4th sister was.
I told her thier was only three of us total.
She then told me thier was a pretty red haired sister, who hugged her
and told her not to worry, that she would be with me the entire time
I was a way. She was anxious to meet the young woman again and see how
her mission work went.
I was perplexed. and explained that thier was not a red haired young woman
with us. My mother then got tears in her eyes, and said.
"she is your gaurdian Angel, I just know it."
well I can't argue with that, now can I.

Also I have a Spirit guide who takes the form of a Silver Wolf.
I have had him for One year now.
