Want to learn to tune into your Spirit Guides? Below is the technique I use for readings and for my own purposes.

This process may be of use to you if your psychic ability is already developed somewhat.

If you’re in the process of developing your psychic ability, be aware that this collection of techniques uses a combination of clairvoyance and clairaudience, so if you find my technique really difficult to use, try developing your clairvoyance and clairaudience in conjunction with this process (there are a few exercises included in the articles I just linked to on clairvoyance and clairaudience.)

Step one: Clear your mind clutter

Intuitive information comes in when your mind is quiet. If your mind is racing, or if you’re stressed or distracted, then you need to clear all that in order to connect with Spirit. The best way to quieten your mind is by meditating for a minute or two. When I have many thoughts buzzing and racing around my brain while I do a reading, it feels like the information coming through is like light trying to come in through a window, but heavy curtains are blocking it and things are in the way. Intuition is always there in the background but it needs an opening to come through. Meditating is like removing the clutter, opening the curtains and letting that light (the intuition) come in.

If you don’t know how to meditate, here’s how:

Choose a quiet place to meditate and sit in a comfortable position. You can sit in a traditional cross-legged posture or you can sit in a chair. Make sure your back is straight – this helps to prevent your mind from becoming sleepy. I don’t recommend that you lie down to mediatate as you can fall asleep while you’re doing it.

Sit with your eyes closed and turn your attention to your breathing. Breathe through the nostrils, without trying to control your breath, just notice the sensation of the air going in and out of your nostrils. Focus on this sensation. As you’re doing this, your thoughts will continue to arise, but bring your attention back to your breath.

This is actually super hard to do, which is why I recommend regular meditation so you can practice. People often connect with their Higher Self or intuition through meditating. Of course, this occurs because the mind usually becomes clear in the process and there are gaps in your thoughts for intuition to slip in. Some people think that meditation is the best process for connecting with Guides. Meditation is actually just part of the process which prepares your mind to receive intuitive insights. But it’s not the whole process. You need a technique to receive the information as well otherwise you may just be sitting there with an empty mind for a while.

So, now that you’ve been meditating for a couple of minutes and your mind is reasonably clear, the next step is:

Step two: Raise your Vibration

What’s all this about vibration? Your vibration is the state of your energy right now. It’s how you feel and what kind of place you’re in. Before you raise your vibration, there is another step:

Firstly observe your vibration by going inside and observing how you feel in yourself for a few moments of stillness. It’s good to have a ‘before’ and ‘after’ and feel the difference in your vibration after you do an exercise to raise your vibration. Note that if you’re in a really dark place or you’re feeling a great deal of anger, upset or stress, it may be very difficult to raise your vibration sufficiently to connect with your Guides. But if you’re in a normal mood and feeling all right, the following exercise works fine:

Create a surcharge of energy by inhaling to the count of four, hold your breath to the count of four and then exhaling to the count of eight. This raises your vibration and is a great little exercise to use to raise your vibration before connecting with Spirit. I do this three or four times, then observe how I feel once more. Afterwards I feel more energized and ready to connect.

Step three: Ground Yourself

Next, visualize the energy of your root chakra (you can see the root chakra as the energy centre between the legs, look at the image below). Imagine it as a tentacle going down through your legs, down to your feet, out of the soles of your feet and shooting through the Earth right to the Earth’s core. Then imagine the tentacle wrapping around the Earth’s core. This is a really important step for grounding – it creates your intention to keep your energy grounded in the Earth plane while you’re exploring the spiritual realm. If your energy shoots off into the Ether without that grounding to the Earth’s core, then you may feel light-headed or unbalanced.

Step four: Open your Chakras

From Erin Pavlina, I learned to open up my chakras, so that I can create a field of receptivity to whatever wants to come through. I just visualize the colour of each chakra, from top to bottom, expanding to about one to two metres outside of me. I begin with the root chakra. Depending on how quick I am, it can take a few seconds or maybe 10-20 seconds to will the energy of the chakra to expand. Then I do the same with all the seven chakras right up to the crown chakra. I don’t bother with the chakras on the hands and feet – only the main seven. At this point, I start feeling the sides of my head tingling and sometimes I can feel it on the top of my head too. You might feel some tingling if you have clairsentience as one of your gifts, or you may not.

Step five: Set your Intention

What is your intention for connecting to your Guides? Do you want to meet them for the first time? Do you want to see what they look like? Do you want to receive information about your life? Do you want to connect to someone else’s Spirit Guide to relay messages to them? Make sure you set that clear intention. I’d recommend that you ask to receive the messages that they want to give you and let go of any attachment to what you want to hear or perceive.

In readings, I always ask my Guides to connect me with a client’s Guide team, or to their Higher Self and I ask to receive the information that the client needs to hear right now. If you like Ascended Masters and Angels, feel free to call on one of your choosing to accompany you as you do this.

Step Six: Choose a sacred meeting place

Then, the next step is meeting your Spirit Guides in a sacred place of your choosing. When I meet my Guides for my own purposes, I sometimes see myself on a beach with all of them. Sometimes I’d find myself on a golf course (I have no idea why, as I’ve never played golf). When I lived in the mountains in Spain, it’d be on the top of a mountain and I’d fly there. You can choose anything – a board room or a beautiful garden. This can be a conscious choice or you could just close your eyes and see what comes to mind as a nice setting. The first time I met with one of my Guides was in a beautiful garden. It was a tropical garden filled with beautiful flowers and a stone bench which I sat on, waiting for her. She came to meet me.

Step Seven: Journey there in spirit

Then imagine a route to this place where you’ll meet your Guides. It can be a staircase, an aircraft or a lift taking you up to this place. Some people say that you should always go upwards in the lift, not downwards, but I don’t know if that matters. When you meet your Spirit Guides, you may hear, feel, sense or see a message or some sort of energy from them, or you may not. Don’t give up straight away if you don’t sense anything from them or don’t get a visual picture of what they look like. Try again and just keep developing your clairvoyance, claircognizance and clairaudience. The reason why lots of people give up their psychic development is because of impatience.

When I’m doing readings, I journey to my sacred place by flying in spirit from where I’m sitting, to a place that to me always looks like some sort of conference centre. There is always an entity who meets me, I tell her whose Guides I want to speak to, using their birth data and name, and she takes me to a board room where their Guides are present. I always get one guide who greets me initially. The Guides these days present to me clairvoyantly and clairaudiently – so I can see what they look like and get messages verbatim. You may also recieve messages through claircognizance or through clairsentience.

Do bear in mind that the above process is a habit; a practice – not a switch you flick once. I work as an intuitive/psychic and I still have to continue practicing (through readings) otherwise I can get rusty, so keep at it. I recommend you do the exercise once over while reading the instructions so that you can memorize the steps to some degree. Then it becomes second nature to you after you’ve done it several times.
