It all comes down to awareness, choice, and action. Being aware of what is available opens the door to choosing to make request followed by the willingness to listen and act upon the guidance. This is a conscious activity that is ongoing, transcending dimensions and lifetimes. Choosing to access is one of the most powerful things you can to to smooth the moments of living and access the inspiration necessary to lift you out of limited thinking and experience.
The tools by which you can make contact with your “guides” include: meditation, guided journeys, accessing intuition, automatic writing, Divination (tarot, runes, angel cards, I Ching), pendulums, muscle testing, oracles, readings, psychic senses, shamanic journeying, dreams, vision quest, silence and listen, invocation, sound, intention, etc
One can consciously access guides and more with growing ease. Remember to use conscious protection and maintain a high field of energy as you travel. Utilizing post experience cord cutting and cleansing will keep your own frequency intact. Utilize, setting your field, casting your circle, the violet flame, the protective cylinder of light, the crystal shield, mantra, intention, amulets, smudge…
Call spirit allies by setting intention, invocation, chanting, invitation, summoning, etc.
Ask for help and then be open to what comes. Be specific, or just ask for generic comfort. Call for protection. Call for inspiration. Call for direction. Call for pathway support. And then, listen and watch. The contact is often subtle. Learn to catch the nuances and act upon them with faith and trust. Acting on the guidance is a fast way to insure even more profound awareness. You are not alone. Know that…and then act on it. Create your dimensional community now. You will be glad you did!
Here are some basic guidelines when working with spirit guides:
- Know who you are working with
20 Questions of great use with spirit guides…What is your name? What is your purpose? What do you have to tell me? What are you? Where are you from? Have you ever lived in a physical body? Have you lived on Earth? Do we have any past-life associations? Do you guide anyone else who is in body? Do you have an area of expertise, and if so, what is it? What is the best way to contact you? How will I recognize you in the future? Where are you? Are you physically near me at all? Are you ever “not with me”? How do I know you are “real” and not a figment of my imagination? What is my life's purpose? What is the meaning of life? What should I be changing in my life? What can I specifically be doing to improve my health, balance, and overall life? Why are you my guide? And why are we meeting now, at this point in my life?

FINDING YOUR POWER ANIMAL
Lie down on your back. Cover your eyes. Get comfortable, but not so comfortable you will fall asleep. Make the intention that this journey will connect you to your animal ally.
Do Exercise 1 to reach a meditative state. Do any of the protective exercises you feel drawn to do. If you have a drumming tape, play it. Choose the shortest selection, five to fifteen minutes. Or have your partner guide you through Exercise 1 and start drumming if you are using live music.
In your mind's eye, picture a very large tree, with roots digging into the earth and branches rising up high in the sky. This is the world tree. Imagine this picture on the screen of your mind as a window.
Open the window and step through. You are standing before the world tree. Look for an opening near the tree. It can be in the roots or in the trunk or next to the tree, like a hole or dark pool of water.
Enter the opening and explore the tunnel. It is like the birth canal into the next world. You may feel you are ascending to the upper world or descending to the lower world.
Follow your intuition. Look for a light at the end of the tunnel. Go out into this new world. Take note of the scenery and what you encounter. Treat everything with great respect and reverence.
An animal guide immediately greets you. It may speak directly to you, or more likely show you things through a journey. Ask any questions you have and wait for the answers. Follow your instincts and inner voice. If you are not greeted by an animal guide, any animal you see more than four times that appears friendly is your power animal.
Try to make contact with it. If unsuccessful, you are not ready for contact and can try again later. Return to the trunk of the world tree, the middle world, by the same tunnel you came down.
Return your perceptions back to the room. Make and speak the intention, “I release all that does not serve,” three times. This releases any unwanted or harmful energies you have picked up on your journey

- When you need or desire support or insight or information, speak your name and pay attention. It may be a thought or a song or a book that catches your eye or a phone call or a person that shows up, but an answer will come. Keep asking for help and enjoy the results.
- Begin to notice your world more. Look for animals that happen to come into your awareness field. Keep a log of your sightings. You can intuit their meaning or you can visit the Internet for information.
- Knowing how your life has gone so far, consciously choose to trust that there is much more than meets the eye. Just giving attention to the “random” more is a testament to the Multi-verse that you are ready to co-create your life consciously.
- Allow yourself to visit your bookshelf. Select a book based on a “feeling”. If you have a concern or question, ask it, and then let the book fall open. Read what is there. Coincidence? I think not.
- Spend more time in nature. Take “awareness walks” during which you watch everything, listening to guidance as it comes. Then trust it, and act upon it.
- You are not alone, no matter the forms of your life. This universe is aligned to your well being. Trust this. Use it often!
