These are seven steps that you can take to connect with your spirit companions.
First,
Become aware of your breathing to help move your mind away from thinking.
Just notice your breath in and out.
Feel your breath entering your body.
Feel your body itself.
Now drop your awareness from your head down to your heart.
You can tap down from your head to your heart.
You can place your hands on your heart space or also you can think of someone you love and once you're full and feeling that love for them you can release them to focus on your heart space.
Feeling love flowing from your heart is the most accessible way to enter this mystical relational state.
Now sense God's presence in this intensified consciousness of love.
God is with you to support and surround your experience.
The love you feel in your heart is both your love and God's love.
God is love and this is the face of God being you.
This is how God's presence feels in the language of your mystical heart space.
Reflect on who you would like to meet and talk with.
You may be drawn to a spiritual master such as Jesus or Mary or a spirit companion or a deceased friend or relative or other beings of light and love.
Take your time to decide.
If you are not drawn to any one spiritual being in particular you can do this.
See yourself in your favorite resting place in nature.
See a path leading up to where you are and notice someone coming up the path too far away to identify.
As they get close you may recognize them as the guide you have been waiting for.
Seeing in the eye of your mind and with the feelings of your heart isn't just playful fantasy.
Instead it creates a space for non-physical beings to enter and participate in the conversation with you.
The key is to let this picturing process happen spontaneously so that new information comes through.
Now begin the conversation.
Assume your guide is present.
Greet your spirit friend.
Call them by name or ask their name if you don't know it already.
You might say why you want to meet.
You might ask how the other feels about it.
Learn about your spirit friend by asking them questions.
Trust the first image,
Words,
Or feeling that come to you when you speak and seek your spirit companion and talk with them.
The first response is nearly always the most relevant and the more you know about your guide the easier it is to feel close.
If you feel any distance with your guide you can think about their life or what you know about them.
This will help you feel more heart-to-heart with them.
After you've become acquainted you can bring up whatever you like.
When the conversation feels finished or has given you all you can handle feel free to end the encounter.
Say what it meant to you.
Thank the other and say goodbye for the time being.
Continue to sit quietly.
Reflect on the encounter.
What did you learn?
When you feel complete return to your everyday consciousness and resume the rest of your day in the glow of your luminous conversation.
