Spirit guide meditation: A cosmic road map of spirituality

Spirituality is all about reaching higher consciousness. While trying to connect with the universal energies, it’s essential to decode what the universe conveys to us. The medium can be nature, an animal, an incident, a lucky number, a dream, a guardian angel, or even another human being. You just need to be open to listening. 

Imagine, you get into a fight with your partner and before hitting the bed, you realize that you need to strengthen your relationship with your partner. Cut to the next day, while going to work on the train, you find a seat next to someone reading the book ‘5 Love languages’. A book that is providing practical solutions to improve communication in relationships.

Now, you might call it just a coincidence. But if you think about it, the universe is trying to tell you something. The universe sends you a signal via a spirit guide that tries to communicate with you in several ways. It could be your favorite motivational song, your favorite number, helpful people bringing opportunities to you, or even a Guru.

Spirit guide meditation

There may be many spirit guides in your life, but you must be ready to listen to the universal truth they are conveying to you. Spirit guide meditation makes you capable of receiving and understanding these signals from the universe. 

By incorporating the technique of listening and creative visualization during meditation, you can strengthen your ability to perceive your spirit guide messages.

-Sit quietly in a meditative position, closing your eyes while concentrating on your breath.

-Take a deep breath up to the bottom of your Solar Plexus, pause for a couple of seconds, and then release. Repeat the deep breathing cycle at least 20 times.

-Visualize beautiful landscapes, mountains, trees loaded with fruits, lawns, rivers with crystal clear waters, flowers, and beautiful living things coexisting peacefully.

-A place where trees meet the lake, imagine a bench, and you are sitting on it, listening to the jungle.

-Listen to all sounds, from the environment, without categorizing them into good/bad, wanted/unwanted, pleasant/irritating sounds.

-At first, you may superficially hear the sounds, but you will come across more subtle voices trying to communicate with you as you start tearing the layers one by one.

-With fearlessness and acceptance, listen to the wind flowing through the trees, the birds’ chirping, and even to the flapping sound of the butterfly wings.

-You can see a shape forming at the other side of the lake, looking directly at you. As you observe it more, it takes a form of a specific animal, which will be your spirit animal guide.

-As it will approach, thank it and try to listen to what it’s saying with an open mind. It will directly speak to you, or it may transmit the feeling to you.

-When you feel that they are done communicating with you, thank them and the universe for its message, and slowly return to the present world, concentrating on your breaths.

-Open your eyes, and try to note down whatever feelings you have, whatever message, emotions you have received from the universe through the spirit guide…

Ways to improve communication with your spirit guides

Often, the universe tries sending messages to us, but being busy and mundane, they get wasted on us. Part of receiving guidance from the universe is being able to recognize the message from your spirit guide. Taking some time for yourself by meditating, being more attentive, more present in your everyday life, you can easily communicate with them.

-It’s all about practice. More you stay alert to look out for the signs from the spirit guide; it becomes easier to recognize those cryptic memos. Every day, remind yourself that your spirit guides are sending you messages. Even during the challenging times, or when you are in between taking major life-altering decisions, this will help you receive guidance from the universe.

-Improve your intuition. With the practice of recognizing and analyzing clairaudience (by hearing, what is inaudible), clairvoyance (perceiving things that aren’t visible to the normal eye), claircognizance (to acquire psychic knowledge without knowing), and clairsentience(the ability to feel energy or aura), we can sharpen our senses, making them ready to receive the signals from the spirits. 

-Swamiji says, “Meditation is the direct hotline with the divine, without any middleman in between.” Developing a regular meditation practice helps to establish and strengthen your bond with your spirit guides. May it be a daily Mantra chanting, yoga class, visiting a temple, or attending a spiritual gathering. These spiritual practices will help you to create more intimacy with your spirit guides.

If you are stuck somewhere, just ask your spirit guides for a sign, and they will respond to your call. With some trust in your spiritual power, gratitude, and childlike curiosity, do the things you genuinely enjoy, and the guidance will be just around the corner.

Connecting with the universe via spirit guides is an art of subtle communication and self-exploration. To feel the presence of your spirit guide, you don’t have to be a psychic or a medium. With concentration, practice, trust, and meditation, you can make it happen.

Your spirit guide is waiting for you to establish that connection. Follow the above simple steps for meditation and open up the conversation between you and the universe. Feel free to email us your questions at info@chamundaswamiji.com
