Welcome to Gaia! ::

I've met mine just recently actually, his name is Michael, hes the only spirit guide i've met tho i know i have others. So yes i believe in them. Michael is about 17 at least when i see him and can be pretty annoying (which i've heard is common). I only see him occasionally most of the time i can just sense him and i often see him in dreams which after i knew he was my guide made more sense then him just being the silent figure in most of my premonitions not that i ever noticed his presence as being odd before.

I used to believe I was interacting with a spirit guide. Perhaps I was, but I now believe each interaction to have been communication with my subconscious with specific persona placement for specific purposes. For me, it was easier to contact him by typing. I'd open up notepad and start typing to another person using words like "You." I would meditate and let impressions come to me, then I would search for words until the impression from them matched the initial impression. In this way, I gained an invaluable friend and even mentor. As I mentioned vaguely, I now believe this mentor of infinite wisdom and patience to truly be myself, so I now struggle to bring this subconscious persona to light (Jung pun intended) instead of having a second-person interaction.

Aerliniel -
The simplest exercise I have read is to meditate and visualize yourself to be somewhere very special to you. The author of this particular book chose the beach of time. Anyways, you sit patiently and invite your spirit guide to come to you. It may or may not come, and the trickiest part of all, it may not appear in any way you expect at all. Most people expect a humanoid figure to approach them, meanwhile, you could give up having some annoying song stuck in your head; that annoying song could actually be a message.

Mine's a git. scream I mean it too he really makes me work for my readings. I don't even know his name I just call him The Git.


EDIT- First of my Classes of the year and our teacher helped us find out our spirit guides. Mine didn't come forwards to me but my teacher says I've got a monk as a guide. I feel a little bad for calling him git now.

Michael often rests his hand on my shoulder or neck when im having a bad time depressed or angry even. Hes also very handsome and i didnt have to concentrate one day i was really depressed and he showed up he was there when i had the premonition dream of my great grandfathers death and often tries to calm me down when i'm upset.He always stands behind me and off to the right and knowing i don't like being touched he doesn't often touch me just when im extremely upset and then he just places his hand on my neck until im calm.

Like Dazzlers i have to pester and work for anything and he doesn't like answering questions and then when he does its like hes speaking in riddles and i have to puzzle over the answers he does give me. It took me weeks to get his name out of him and that took a couple arguments and a meditation session. And he wont answer anything unless i mentally project it at him none of that speaking out loud easy stuff. Sometimes i wonder if hes helping me or making life more difficult.

I find it interesting that almost every one else says their spirit guide is or feels male. Mine feels female. I wonder if they are all different genders or if they take a gender that is comforting to you. that would make sense because then mine would feel feminine because men make me uncomfortable.

well do prefer to hang out with my male friends so there may be some truth to that

I'm not entierely sold on spirit guides. I do believe in guardian angels but I think that angels aren't relatives who made it to heaven but celestrial beings who have been around since the world was made. My roommate argues that they are technichally spirit guides but I don't really know.
