Work with our spirit guides is a creative process. It involves learning to tap into the subconscious mind in a consciously controlled manner. In other words, it’s about accessing that which connects into our subconscious whilst in a conscious state. The subconscious mind is the source of our subtle perceptions. It registers everything we encounter – physical and spiritual. It’s about processing this information and these perceptions and interpreting them in new ways.
Accessing the subconscious is the key to more direct spirit contact. There are many ways to do this such as in dreams, through hypnosis and of course, through meditation. Of all of the many ways, meditation is one of the most effective means of awakening our perceptive abilities. When we close our eyes and withdraw our senses from the world around us, we enter another realm of life entirely. It is more fleeting and fluid than our physical world, but it is just as real. It is a world where we can dream, ponder the future, unveil mysteries around us and discover our spirit guides.
Meditation is not actually the difficult part – the process is quite simple. Seeing is the problem. In learning to shift the manner in which we perceive the world, we use an altered state of consciousness. We have all experienced altered states of consciousness at some time. This happens when we become engrossed in a really enjoyable book, when we are out jogging, when listening to beautiful music. Through meditation, we learn to shift our consciousness in a controlled manner.
Creative imagination is the key to opening the doors to true spiritual awareness, energies and spiritual beings. Energy from the more ethereal realms must take the form of images for us to recognize them and work with them. Remember that ultimately spirit is but sparks of light. I would like to caution you to not confuse your imagination with unreality. Through your imagination, you can create a new awareness of reality in form, colour, sound.
Enhanced psychic ability and spirit perception can be developed and used by anyone. Its development does not require higher morality any more than does the development of greater physical strength. Nor does having enhanced psychic ability and spirit perception imply that you have a high moral character or spiritual development any more than having great strength reflects it.
The psychic senses exist within us all. For most of us, however, it lies dormant. We either ignore it or refuse to develop it. Although it is a skill that is learned, just as we can all learn to read, for some it is easier to develop.
I would just like to mention here that diet plays an important part in connecting to the spirit realm. For instance some foods vibrate at higher levels than others, in just the same way as we as human beings vibrate. It takes more energy to digest food than anything else that we do. If our energy is taken up with digestion it will be less perceptive of the subtle energies surrounding us. And the reason for this, is that whilst your body is working on digesting your food, it is more difficult to raise your own vibrational energy. I recommend that you do not meditate directly after having had a meal. If you are going to meditate, it’s advisable to rather eat something light and preferably no meat. Increase your water intake. Water is a conductor of energy and it allows the attunement to occur without our becoming short-circuited by its higher intensity.
