I've met many of my guides, but two of them seem to be regulars for me. The first guide I met and saw was a Franciscan Monk. I recall waking up in the wee hours of the morning to a very bright white light in our bedroom. Standing in the middle of this white light was the monk, and he looked at me and asked me if I was ready to start my spiritual path.
I was a bit surprised at seeing him and still half asleep, didn't really know what to do. I recall pinching myself--honestly!- to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I wasn't. It hurt.
So, I murmured a "Yes" to him and at that moment the husband, still sound asleep next to me in bed, rolled over and snored rather loudly--scaring me, and I turned to look at him, turned back and the monk was gone! However, it was not to be the last time I'd see him.
** WOW! Yeah, i'm quite literally too scared and DON'T WANT TO SEE ANYTHING! From a young age, my mum (who is a bit of a hippy git) has always said, if you don't want to see anything say it and you won't see anything... AND that's what i've done for a long, long, long time lol. Sense of knowing, i'm happy with. I'd be ok with dreaming.... that appears to be less scary.
I also have another guide, whom I call Joe. Joe comes to me a lot--again while I am asleep and also while I meditate. I do sense him other times too, but I've only ever seen him while sleeping or meditating. He has helped me to get to the Akashic Records often, and he also helps me with my astral traveling.
** I've been told a few times that I have 4 guides and they all hang out. I kinda like to think they are just hanging around waiting for me to ask for their assistance. I mean, that would be awesome lol. Probably not the case!
Ah the Akashic records! I wouldn't mind accessing them! Just having a little flick through to see a few things, or at least 'tap' in and out!
As for the astral travel - I know what it's about, not sure if i've only experienced it a few times.... And it was literally from my bedroom and walked around the house and outside my house.... It's a start I guess.
I have other guides too--but those two seem to be my main companions.
As for my intuitive side, that is different. If a spirit is trying to get my attention, I notice it first with a sign. Sometimes I get a fluttering buzz like sound in my ears. When that happens, I KNOW there is a spirit trying to contact me and so I'll relax and invite them 'in'. Sometimes they just appear to me--especially if I happen to be around moving water. A waterfall, in the shower, running the tap, that sort of thing. And, generally, when they appear to me this way--I will actually see them--but they are usually a bit 'see - through'. They are generally fully dressed, (though I've also seen some naked
), but everything is sort of faded and light.
** What you've described is truly an amazing gift! Again, i'd be completely freaked out by the experience! I've read or discussed with people / friends that you can ask for a sign, like touched on the face so you know they're around ...
I also at times only hear them and won't see them, or I feel them only. They may actually touch me--(I've had one male spirit kiss me on my cheek and another one slap my behind!
). I also have spirits that will move things on me, turn the tv on or off and chang the channels on me--while I am watching tv and also in the middle of the night. they turn the volume up and down, open doors, all kinds of things.
**I hope you can ask the spirits to behave! lol!
Sometimes I daydream and see a 'movie' like thing happening - generally for people I know , but sometimes with people I have never met yet--but then in a few days times - weeks at the most, that exact same movie will come to be---everything EXACTLY as I saw it in my mind.
** Lots of amazing gifts, and thanks for sharing! I'd be comfortable just having that flow of intuition and 'knowing' feeling. Bit too scattered at the moment, BUT I will get there eventually. I just have to chip away slowly.
I often will hear people I know say something (and they aren't really talking yet) and then a few minutes later they actually do say the exact thing word for word. that is a bit unsettling, because I often answer before they even say the phrase I know they will say. That has happened for me since I was a child. I don't really know why it happens or how--but I've gotten more use to it now.
I don't know how to explain it any more or how to tell you to even develop such a skill, save to tell you I think meditation, practice and trust in yourself that it will happen can help.
** Yeah, mediation does appear to be the key, and I guess just lots of reading and discussions with people who are knowledgeable / on the same wave length as me... helps a lot.
I have always done creative visualization, even before I knew what I was doing could be called that. That was another skill I always had since being a kid. So, I have to be careful of my daydreaming!
