Spirit Guides?

[sincerebliss]

Do you frequently talk with your spirit guide(s)? Do you have more than one spirit guide and what experiences have you had with your guide? I'm very interested in your replies.
Thanks Bunches,

i dont personally, friend of mine does, but i have yet to get in contact with any sort of guide, read a few books on channeling and opening up to guides and nothing written within worked for me, /shrug mayb it will for you.

I have three spirit guides that i commune with every day. there are several others that i call to for specific aid or knowledge . My path being nature based , I talk to most things simply going about daily duties and chores.
I suppose it's a matter of what you're seeking and how far you care to open to all that is around you.

My First Spirit Guide actually showed up to prevent me from committing suicide back in '91. I had been on a unknown pathway for years searching trying little this and that and basically had decided nothing worked and nothing was real. I wanted to pass on and leave this life of sorrow and pain. What i learnt was just the opposite. And he's guided me most of the way everyday since. Surely there are ups and downs , that's why it's called life, but to throw it away is seen as a waste of incarnation to me .
Intuition from what is shown in journeys and through meditation is the key to my communication with spirits and guides.

I usually turn to my gods for guidance, but I do have a grandmother from a life I lived in Hawai'i that comes in now and then to give me guidance. I'm cautious about spirit guides because there are malign spirits as well as good ones, but once you establish the ground rules (always question any advice that seems against your path), then they can be a great help. I also ask my Higher Self for guidance through deep meditation.

My grandmother spirit guide told me that I was swept out to sea when I was about 16 and was lost. She gave me her name and when I looked it up in our Hawaiian English dictionary, it essentially meant (paraphrased): searching for a lost child, which I thought was interesting! And the area I was shown in the vision she gave me, I described to my husband who lived in HI for many years and he went searching on the web and pulled up a picture of the exact place I'd been shown.

So I honor my grandmother spirit and listen when she comes in.

I havent had much dealings with spirit guides in a while.. I had one lower level guide that would always come around when i needed him but when i left australia for cali he said he wasnt coming with me as i didnt need him anymore and he wasnt going to leave his family members who were still alive and needed him.. since i have been back in aus i havent had any contact with him and I havent taken time to contact other guides that i may have.. I think once things here have settled i will take the time to contact my guides but for the moment i just dont seem to have the right frame of mind or the time.. Blessed Be ~Morrigan~

I have two spirit guides as of right now. One is a male, and the other a female. I do not speak to them as we speak to others, it is more that I feel them, I communicate to them and hear them communicate back through feelings, inclinations really. When I need an answer to a major question, or if they themselves feel I am in need of some guidence or teaching, then it becomes like a waking dream, a vision, where our higher, true selves come together for a short period. I believe truly that is one or both of them that actually raised me, because all my life I have been communicating with them, though when younger I did not know what they were. They gave me the wisdom and guidence to be who I am, to come through such tough times as a child and still be a sane and capable adult. If I had not had them, I would be as crazy and evil and abusive as all the rest of my family, I firmly believe that.

I have one spirit guide that I'm aware of. He is a male entity. I've had conversations with him, usually when I "drift off" into lala land while doing a mundane task or am really in need and he'll just "appear" (not by sight, but by voice - and this is strictly in my head, I don't actually hear a voice as you would hear another person talking). I have also talked to my Goddess in the same fashion. It's not every day... but then, I kinda shut down for a bit, and am just now opening my spirituality back up. And now, they are there, pretty much whenever I want to talk. All I have to do is reach out to them.

You might try letting go and meditating... ask your spirit guides to join you. =)

I have an old male native american spirit guide whom I believe I may be a decendant from.The things he and I talk about have been right on the money. I usually see Him when I am very uncertain about something important.I have seen him on other occasions and think that its when I am in very emotional situations.

I have a few spirit guides. They all take animal form because I am afraid of ghosts and such. One is a coyote, one is a white tiger (this one I speak to everyday about anything and everything) a horse, a buffalo, and a deer

I have two I think of as spirit guides, both are male.I talk to them every few days, maybe about once a week. One, I am pretty sure was my lover in one of my Egyptian past lives (I've had two) I first meet him about a year ago, maybe two. I didn't do anything special, I was just outside listining to music, and I was really depressed about my love life in general...then suddenly I wasn't. I was very aware that someone else was with me, I could actully feel him just being there and comforting me. Slowly through dreams and mediation I was able to find out more about him. The second is alot more elsuive, I met him while I was agian depressed over love, I was mediating to clear my head, and suddenly was drawn to go somewhere I'd never gone and met him there. He really helped me to "fly" and to regain my magick after I went through a big phase of my life where I felt "as empowered as a candy wrapper." I don't actully "see" my spirt guides, I only see them in my mind when I want to speak to them or when they are around, and if I see them physically at all they take the form of animals, but that isn't often. I've always heard dire warnings that if you see your spirt guide in a phsyical form, your in terrible danger, but this dosn't seem to be true in my case. Most of the time they are protecting me, like if I am walking down a dark street, but nothing horrible happened. Maybe it dosn't applie to an animal phyical form...I dunno. Anyway thats my experience. My advice for anyone seeking theirs...tell the universe that you are looking but don't force it. Let them come to you. :floating:

I have one male spirit guide or, maybe, he's my picture of Divine :) I think I "made him up" ;) few years ago and recently, his presence is getting stronger and stronger for my senses every day. He's very kind and at the same time, playful. I picture him (in my visions, meditations and such) as tall guy in grey robe, with long white hair and face of a man in his... I don't know, forties? My best witchy friend, Beth, can sense him also, as well as my boyfriend, Hetobe. I shudder every time when Grey is near - he vibrates on a very high level and radiates a wonderful, loving energy. I wouldn't be the person I am without Grey! :D

I don't know who my Spirit Guides are. I've tried methods, but I realize that I simply wasn't focused enough when I tried them. After going along more on my path, it seems it doesn't really matter much that I need to know them, although it would be interesting to find out. I usually ask for help guidance and protection. I usually don't have any problems. If I've met my Spirit Guides, I didn't know or don't remember.

Although about a year back I remember having a dream about two people who I thought were twins (male and female). In the dream they were helping me on a journey. The male was into some sort of Buddhism and was calm and the female didn't show any interest in that stuff and seemed more determined to help me. But it could've been just a dream. Who the hell knows?

Sometimes I hear from Athena, but I'm not sure if she is the actual Athena the goddess, or if Athena is the name of my Higher Self. Probably both, LOL. I've done some Higher Self work with my First Degree, and well last time I saw my Higher Self as me dressed up as Athena, with the Shield, spear, and Greek style robes. I feel like I can do anyting when I put that "outfit" on. I hear from Athena mainly when doing tarot or praying.
