Have you ever had deep longing to connect with a wise, intelligent and compassionate being that could support you, either with your deepest spiritual goals to your everyday life?

In this article, I will introduce you to the idea of communicating with a spirit guide and to ways in which you can establish a relationship with your own spirit guide, (or a group of spirit guides) from the most simple steps to some that are bit more advance for the beginner.

This will come as steps like learning how to set up a sacred space where you can communicate with your guide, to learning how to allow and be receptive to their message.

So, if you’re eager to begin, let’s dive in into the wonderful world of communicating with high-level spirit guides.

What You’re Really Cultivating for Achieve This Connection

Inner Stillness and Intuitive Listening

In order for you to start even realizing the presence of a spirit guide, it is important that you cultivate a sense of inner stillness. By that I mean learning how to calm your mental chatter, your mind that always jumps from one thought to the other in order for you to create space to be receptive to your guide’s messages.

This task can be achieved in many ways. For example, you can develop a simple habit of mindful meditation. Even five minutes a day can do wonders in order for you to develop this kind of stillness and receptivity.

In order for you to start even realizing the presence of a spirit guide, it is important that you cultivate a sense of inner stillness.

The mere presence of your guide can result in calming your mental body. In my case when I started connecting with my guide, I would start by simply asking a question and setting my awareness in such a way that I would pay attention either to images that might come into my mind, sensations in my body, and even essence of deep inner peace.

You can also ask your guide to help you in facilitating a calmer and open mind. After all, your mental body functions as an energetic entity that your guide can work with.

Energetic Clarity and Boundaries

I want to stress here an important a point here in terms of connecting with any sort of spirit guides. For a beginner, it is important for you to understand that communicating with a guide, it’s like approaching a person in the physical world that you just met for the first time.

You need to proceed with caution, and this is not to instill fear in you, but simply to make you aware of the fact that sometimes being a sensitive person to the unseen world can invite any type of entity.

So, whenever you decide to connect with the spirit guide, you should have already cultivated your intuition and discernment.

This means that when you are calling to connect with your spirit guide, be mindful of how your body feels and your energy. If the connection with a being makes you feel heavy, or your energy field feels contracted, that is a sign that you need to stop reaching out to the said being and firmly demand for it to depart.

So, whenever you decide to connect with the spirit guide, you should have already cultivated your intuition and discernment.

Remember, you have a physical body (something a spirit lacks) and this is your biggest protection along with your capacity to use your mind’s intention when it comes to any sort of interaction with the spirit world.

Heart-Led Receptivity and Trust

Trusting something that you cannot see with your physical senses can be daunting for the beginner.

In my case, when I started connecting with my first guide, I would sit in front of my computer, and after asking a question and by suspending my disbelief, I would allow myself to type anything that would come into my mind.

Trusting something that you cannot see with your physical senses can be daunting for the beginner.

This surrender, lead me to pleasant surprises, especially when my guide’s predictions would come to pass. Of course, the topic of predicting the future is a tricky one and my guides from the first one to the consecutive ones would always tell me that the future is not written in stone, and they only offered predictions at the beginning stages of me communicating with them for me to build trust that what I received and our connection was real.

This also became apparent when I started offering small readings to my friends, and received positive feedback that what I offered had value for them.

Keep in mind that you don’t have to reach out to your guide only to ask profound questions. You can call them every time you need support, even for the most mundane tasks. This, instead of creating a formal type of connection, will eventually cultivate a friendship that will be far more important for you than a formal conversation that takes place only within the bounds of a ritual.

5 Transformative Steps to Connect with Your Spirit Guides

1. Create a Sacred Space That Reflects Your Inner Clarity

It is wise when you engage in the work of connecting with a spirit guide to set a space that will assist you in supporting your connection to the spirit world.

For me, when I began connecting with my then spirit guides, I had already dedicated a corner of my room to where my computer was to do my work.

It is wise when you engage in the work of connecting with a spirit guide to set a space that will assist you in supporting your connection to the spirit world.

In my experience, whenever you connect with your spirit guide using the same space, will lead that space gaining the frequencies and energies that this connection brings forth. What this means is that your workspace becomes steeped in the energy that your guide is transmitting to you whenever you’re communicating with them, thus preparing your energy field for the connection even before the communication starts.

2. Become Present by Letting the Body Lead

Breath, Body, and the Gateway of Sensory Awareness

Before every session of communicating with your spirit guide, I would advise you to prepare yourself by doing some breathwork and relaxing your body.

The former can be achieved with the simple practice of taking three breaths, the first from your chest, the second from your belly, and the third from both parts of your body at the same time.

Before every session of communicating with your spirit guide, I would advise you to prepare yourself by doing some breathwork and relaxing your body.

The latter can be achieved by a simple visualization of blue light entering your feet and gradually moving up your body, intending to relax each part of your body that this light goes to.

Doing both, it’s a way to prepare your energy body that is deeply connected with your physical one. Thus, by consciously working with your physical body, you inevitably shift your energetic one to become receptive to the work at hand.

3. Activate the Central Channel: Embody the Bridge Between Earth and Spirit

A Grounding and Uplifting Energy Practice

You can, of course, take a step further beyond just working with your physical body to prepare your energy one.

A good way to prepare yourself to connect with your spirit guide is to practice the following technique that will balance your chakras.

Your chakras are energy centers set along your spine, and when aligned, they can help you build a strong connection with the spirit world.

So, after you have prepared your physical body with the techniques that I described above, you can imagine light coming through the top of your head and filling up your spine. Then you can imagine from the soles of your feet energy coming through them, moving up through your legs and entering your spine mixing with the light that came from above.

Your chakras are energy centers set along your spine, and when aligned, they can help you build a strong connection with the spirit world.

This technique helps you to have a balanced experience by inviting the grounding energy off the earth and mixing it with that of heaven, so that you approach your communication with your guide in a grounded manner.

4. Call In Guides with Clear, Aligned Intent

Speak to Be Heard—Clarity as a Portal

When working with the spirit world, it is necessary to set a strong sense of boundary between you and the other.

When connecting with the guide for the first time, it is important for you to set clear intentions on how this interaction will take place. Speaking out your intent verbally using affirmations like “I now invite a spirit guide from a place of divine love, wisdom and for my highest good” which affirms your values, sets your energy frequencies to attract only beings that vibrate at the same frequency.

When working with the spirit world, it is necessary to set a strong sense of boundary between you and the other.

Spirit communication is set based on frequency matching. When you are clear on your values and coming from a balanced emotional state, your vibration will attract the like.

5. Practice Receptive Awareness and Let the Dialogue Emerge

Let the Signs Speak Without Forcing Them to Make Sense

I often find in my current practice of communicating with my spirit guide that verbal communication lacks the richness that a nonverbal one coming from my guide can offer.

What I mean by that is that before words formulate in your mind, your guide sends you packages of frequencies of energy, codes that can manifest in more subtle ways before they turn into words.

These energy transmissions can be felt as shifts in your energy, emotional states of expansion and opening, and even physical tinkling.

Your guide might not share words all the time, but sometimes a space of quietness that is so rich of potential that your mind cannot comprehend but you will feel this space’s positive effect on your being after the session has ended, when synchronicities and realizations will present themselves for the days to come.

These energy transmissions can be felt as shifts in your energy, emotional states of expansion and opening, and even physical tinkling.

So, the bottom line is to trust whatever your guide is giving you in any shape or form, and you will be surprised and the gifts that you will receive.

Deepen the Dialogue – Integrative Practices Beyond the Basics

Try Intuitive Writing to Gently Connect with Your Guide

One of the earliest ways that I started communicating with my spirit guides was intuitive or automatic writing. I would simply sit in front of my computer, ask a question and record through typing everything that would come through.

If that feels something that you would like to try out for yourself, you don’t need a fancy computer to do so. You just need and notebook a quiet space where you can work and an established connection with your guide.

Make a habit of recording messages from your guide each day. Even a paragraph is enough. After six months of practicing intuitive writing and when you look back at what you have recorded, you will be astonished by the depth and accuracy of the info that you received.

Create a Gratitude Offering for a Respectful Connection

Over the years, I have developed the habit of offering my gratitude to my guides after the session. From their part, they start a transmission with the same way of greeting and also end it in the same way, maintaining a sense of politeness and good faith.

This type of mutual expression of respect builds a friendship rather than a cold transaction.

Attune Your Living Space for Subtle Shifts

As I mentioned before, where your communication with your spirit guide takes place is important for the success of the session. That space needs to be prepared, especially when you are a beginner and also when you are in beginning phases of establishing a connection with a guide.

For me, what helps is play relaxing music, or music that will lift the energy of the room that I am working in energetically. Me, being also attuned to the three degrees of the Usui Reiki system, gifted me with symbols that I can use to clear and balance the energy of the space that the communication takes place.

But, to not overcomplicate things, you can just keep your space clean and have around things that have deep personal meaning for you. Even a white candle and a quartz crystal can do wonders in lifting the energy of a space where you will be connecting with your guide.

Conclusion

Cultivating a relationship with a high level spirit guide is a profound spiritual practice on of itself.
