You have a team of spirit guides waiting to support you. The only catch is that they cannot help you unless you ask them first.

Carefully chosen and recruited just for you, spirit guides are beings that are completely devoted to your growth. Many have had lifetimes here on earth and just like you they have their own eclectic bundle of gifts, wisdom, and experiences.  Perfectly suited to your highest calling, their only job is to support you and guide you as much or as little as you wish. In my client sessions, I have found that most people have approximately six guides in their inner circle, calling in new ones, as they need them.

Here are 11 simple ways you can develop your relationship with your spirit posse right now:

1. Ask clearly

Our spirit guides can guide us with anything from finding a car park to healing a broken heart, from experiencing more joy to finding the right job, from meeting your future partner to getting through your darkest hour, from finding the courage to step into your highest calling to letting go of the past. No request is too big or too small, too specific or too broad. But because we live in a world of free will, in order for them to step in, first we must ask.

2.  Be unattached to the outcome

When I started working with my spirit guides I spent a long time waiting for them to appear in black and white before I took them seriously. I wanted a personal relationship, to see and feel them like I would a friend or family member. I wanted to know their age, their background, their personality, and hair color. I wanted them to pop over for dinner and share a bottle of red. The moment I let go of what I thought the experience should look like (e.g. that they should be a buddhist monk vs. a heavy metal singer, should I see them or hear them, should I receive their guidance in my minds eye or through another person), the more my relationship with my guides deepened. Let go of how your mind thinks they should be and open yourself up to receiving their guidance in ways beyond your expectations.

3. Do a ‘Meet your spirit guides’ attunement meditation

Our spirit guides are always at the ready to connect with us, however tuning into their frequency is sometimes not as easy as switching on the TV (at least not at first). Putting dedicated time aside by doing a meditation or spirit guides attunement like this one is a great way to make initial connection with your guides.

4. Create a spirit guides guidance box

Find yourself a small special box for you to communicate with your spirit guides. On a small piece of paper, write down a question or something specific that you would like their help with. Fold the piece of paper up and put it in the box.

5. Ask for a sign

Pick a particular object that you want to receive as a way of communicating with your guides. It could be anything from a symbol like a star or a red rose. The first time I did this I chose a peach feather. Within 60 minutes I found a peach feather on waiting for me on my front door.

6. Create a sacred space

Create a sacred space for you to connect with your guides every day. It could be a window ledge, your bedside table, a pinterest board or the whole corner of a room. Put some time aside every day to connect with your guides. Just like any relationship in our lives, in order for it to grow, we must invest quality time into it.

7. Intuitive writing

One of my favorite ways to connect with higher realms is through intuitive writing. Start by clearing a sacred space by lighting a candle and sitting down with your journal and two different colored pens. With the first pen write your question. Then take the second colored pen, asking your guides to answer and let the response flow from your hand to the page.

8. Call in your team

If you are undertaking a particular endeavor, don’t be afraid to call in the best guides for the job! For example, if you are writing your first book you might recruit a guide who has written books or poetry of their own. If you are going through a particularly hard time you could call on a wise teacher guide to help you work out what the situation is trying to teach you. For example, when I write I call in my favorite Sufi poet and divine mother. When I was working in advertising, before a big presentation I would call in one of those exuberant old school ad men to help me sell in my concepts, and it worked every time!

9. Don’t micromanage them

Just like in the workplace, the best leaders are the ones that are clear about the task at hand and then trust that the team have the skills to get the job done. Your team of spirit guides are the same. Be clear on what you would like them to guide you with and then trust that the job will be done. No micro managing, no doubting, just trust that the work is being done.

10.Keep a spirit guides diary

Keep note of any guidance, visions, dreams or intuitive hunches you receive. Connecting with your spirit guides requires you to notice and trust the intuitive guidance when you receive it. In writing things down it gives you a black and write record of what is so often intangible.

11.Sweet dreams

Sleep is a wonderful way to connect with your spirit guides. Before you go to bed ask your guides to come to you as you sleep. When you wake in the morning grab your journal and start writing the messages that you received in your dream. Regardless of whether or not you have a conscious memory of it, be open to the idea that the information will come when you put pen to paper. Jot down anything that pops into your mind, regardless of how much sense it makes.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

A few simple tips for taking control by letting go of control:
Realize that you really have no control over the future.
Know that things happen in their own time.
Treat yourself on stressful days.
Let go of people who stress you out—if possible—or set boundaries around the ones who do

Sandy’s Spiritual Journey

Sandy believes we are all spiritual beings having a human experience.  We are co-creators with Spirit/God (whatever name you give).  You can connect via meditation and thought.  Although Sandy was raised as a Methodist and was active in that church for many years, she shifted to a metaphysical world-wide renowned Religious Science church in 1995 and continues to grow spiritually.   She has taken many classes in astrology, numerology, Chinese Medicine, Herbs, Reiki 1 & 2, Science of Mind 1 & 2 and many more.

She loves to attend the metaphysical celebration fairs twice a year, reads spiritual books frequently, and listens to a variety of speakers on Hay House Radio, as well as watching the Long Island Medium, and attending local psychic and speaker events.   Sandy’s spiritual gurus include Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay.  Her latest favorite psychic medium is John Holland who connected with her Mother on the other side in November, 2014, in a very loving way.

Her purpose on this page is not to sway your religious beliefs as she believes everyone is on their own path.  This page if for those who are interested in this area and wish to learn more and for Sandy to share spiritual insights in hopes that it might bring inspiration and help to you.

In 2015, Sandy had the amazing fortune of having a scientific hand analysis done (this is not palm reading).  She has many gift markings, like creativity and intuition.  Her life purpose is to be a resourceful, spiritual teacher; to help people through challenges using her creativity, communication and intuition in speaking and writing.  Part of that communication is in providing information on this website.

To listen to a number of well-known speakers on Hay House radio, go to www.hayhouseradio.com and look over the daily schedule as speakers over hour-long talks that change frequently and repeat through your computer.  You don’t need to sign up in advance or join, just tune in and gain insights.   Louise Hay founded this station as well authoring many books and movies and creating the Hay House bookstore.  She healed herself of cancer and is flourishing in her 80’s.

 Dyer’s latest book, I Can See Clearly Now is recommended for its autobiographical recounting of  lessons Wayne learned throughout his life.

 Women are rising.
Wild, windswept, born of ocean, aflame with light,
rooted as trees, we are rising.
We are re-wilding ourselves.
Emerging from Earth, clad in moss and bark.
We are unrecognizable, except to each other.
We move in the shadows of forests
and the deep, cool undercurrents of streams.
We reach out our arms to the mountains.
Dare to stand, cracked and dry and dust-whorled like deserts.
We green ourselves with grasses,
root ourselves in moist soil.
We are wondrous.
We are rising.
We are wild.
~Mary Reynolds Thompson
