Guest: How can I meditate and identify my own guides?
Your question is about how to identify your own guides, and we want to be sure that you understand that your guides have been with you since long before you began this physical life. They are your creative development team. You see, each of you are much more like a group project than you are a solo venture. And when you begin to dive into those deep waters from which you emerged in the first place, you will begin to feel that you are encountering entities outside of yourself. But the secret is, all those beings and guides that you have are a part of who you really are. The confusion results from this limited physical point of view that you have assumed for this physical lifetime. As non-physical beings we are not limited by a single point of view, or by a single identity… and neither were you before your venture into physical life.
But you got to be physical by asking, and by focusing your attention intently on the physical life plane. So to reconnect with the broader aspects of who you really are, you just have to reverse the process. So the first thing to do is to ask. You can say “I want to reconnect with my own broader, nonphysical self and my spirit guides, my guidance team, ‘Mission Control’.” (LOL) And the next step is to defocus, to let go of your grip on that limited physical identity that you think is you. That is the essential practice of meditation.
You are you, but you are so much more, you see. And when you let go in meditation—asking to connect with your nonphysical source—it should get quite busy in there after a while. When you let go in meditation of who you think you are, you will begin to become aware of ideas, blocks of thought, images, or perhaps even voices such as our own, which seem to come from outside of you. But law of attraction will not allow anything to come to you that does not already exist within you; you are just so much more than you think.
Relax and allow information to flow to you in whatever form it will take. Ask questions. If you do not ask questions of us we assume that all is well. (It is.) If you will spend 15 or 20 minutes in the morning, or at some quiet time during your day, just listening for answers, they will come. Your angels and guides, friends and nonphysical associates, are always with you and eager to participate in your life experience in whatever way you will allow. But you are the captain of the ship, the pilot in command, and we will not interfere in your life without your asking.
Give yourself time. Rome was not built in a day. And trust your inner guidance to let you know when you have established a firm connection. You have to grow into it: It is an organic connection. And while sometimes we like to use the analogy of tuning in a radio to a radio station, it’s more like your body is the receiver and you have to grow into the receiving configuration. And as with all forms of yoga, you will benefit most when it is practiced every day.
It is our intention that each of you should have this connection so you may receive wisdom, guidance, and encouragement from your friends in the nonphysical. We certainly look forward to speaking with you directly as each of you is capable of making this connection.
Namaste,
~Twelve
