| Meeting your Guide |
| In this meditation, you are going to meet a healing guide whom you can trust and rely on. Find the time to be alone and undisturbed for half an hour. Relax yourself completely and let go of the day's tensions and cares. Mentally take yourself to a place somewhere in nature .. a forest, the seaside, a flower-filled meadow, a lake shore, a cove .. whichever appeals to you. See in front of you in this pleasant place a veiled object, full of mystery. A puff of wind comes along and blows away the covering and your guide is revealed to you. Take whatever image comes and begin to dialogue with it. Ask your question and wait for an answer. If one doesn't come immediately, be patient. The answer may come in words, through intuition or telepathy, as an image, or even as a song or an instruction to read a book or magazine article. In these guided meditations, the specifics are not as important as making the contact. Whatever springs into your mind is the right answer, because you are using a process to contact your own inner wisdom. Your guides are within the realm of the deepest part of your being, which is connected to all reality everywhere at all times and places. Question tips .. 1. Articulate a question you wish to ask your guide. State the question as clearly and precisely as you can. Vague questions produce vague answers. The more specific the question, the more specific the answer will be. 2. Choose a question that cannot be answered by a simple yes or no .. the purpose of the first effort to contact a guide is for you to get to know this realm of your inside being. 3. Stick to your present situation and avoid broad generalities. Don't ask, "How can I get well?" or "What's the matter with me?" Instead, phrase a question specifically, as in "My upper right arm is stiff and painful. What can you advise me about this condition?". 4. Choose a question that does not require a prediction. This is usually interpreted as trying to "test" the guide. Simply asking for guidance is always good. State the subject about which you wish guidance. 5. Be willing to trust your guide and to accept whatever form will appear to you. 6. Remind yourself to pay attention to the guide's appearance. You will ask your guide for a name or a symbol by which you can recognize him or her in the future. When you have met your guide, introduce yourself, and asked your questions, notice the details of the place so that you can return here whenever you like. Fix it in your memory. When you get the answer to your question, thank your guide and say you will look forward to further dialogue in the future. If you do not get an answer, or if the answer seems to make no sense, accept that also and try again later. Remember, you are learning a new skill. If you are asking about pain or illness, ask your guide what your pain is trying to tell you. Ask what its deeper meaning is. Before leaving, make an appointment to meet with your guide again at a set time. Follow through on this with another meditation. |
