Become aware of your breathing.
Feel your breath going in and out of your nostrils.
Now feel your breath gently moving in and out of your chest.
Follow your breath into your heart space.
Rest your consciousness in your heart.
If you need more help to be there,
You can tap down from your head,
Down the side of your face,
Your jaw,
Your throat,
And then to your heart.
You can also place your hands on your heart space.
And you can think of someone you love.
After you feel the love flowing to this one you're thinking of,
Release them to focus on your own heart space and letting that love flow from within you.
If you feel even a fleeting pleasurable feeling or a sense of love in your heart,
Focus on that.
Let it intensify.
Sink down into it.
Let it ignite.
Let it ignite.
Let it ignite.
You can sense God's presence in this intensified consciousness of love by knowing that God is love.
The love you feel in your heart is both your love and God's love.
This is the face of God being you.
That is how God's presence feels in the language of your mystical heart space.
So this love you're feeling is God's presence.
And God is with you to support and surround your experience.
Now let this divine love and light expand out to encompass your whole body.
As it does,
Then let it radiate out in arm's length all around you.
So you are filled with and surrounded with God's loving presence.
Now take a little time to reflect on who you are.
Now take a little time to reflect on who you would like to meet and talk with.
A spirit guide is a reality given to you by God,
But shaped by you.
For instance,
The spiritual master Jesus will come to you in any form that connects you with you.
You shape the form such as the traditional appearing Jesus,
A feminine form as Christ Sophia,
Or an Eastern,
Western,
African,
Or any other cultural appearance.
The appearance of the guide is only for our benefit.
The reality of the presence of the being of light is what transforms us.
Aim for the highest level of spirit guide you can.
You may be drawn to a spiritual master such as Jesus or Mary,
A spirit companion or friend,
Or even an evolved deceased friend or relative,
Or other being of light and love.
Take your time to think about this and decide.
The most helpful spirit guides are evolved beings who are wise,
Compassionate,
And often amusing.

Now that you may have some idea of who you would like to meet,
Set your attention to meet that spiritual companion.
Intention is a spiritual practice.
You might say,
I want to connect with my spirit guide,
Or however you want to phrase it.
And keep this thought in your head and heart,
Repeating it as often as needed,
If you sense yourself drifting from it.
Now that you've set your intention to meet your spirit guide,
You might reflect some more about how you picture them.
See their clothes,
The way they stand or sit,
Their facial expression.
Picture them as vividly as you can.
What feelings or thoughts are stirred up in you as you do?
Describe your relationship with this spiritual being or what you hope it will be.
All of this picturing creates a space for non-physical beings to enter and participate in the conversation with you.
Now that you've set your intention to meet your spirit guide,
You might reflect some more about how you might feel.
Now assume your guide is present,
Whether you feel it or sense it or not,
And begin the conversation.
Greet your spirit friend,
Call them by name or ask for their name if you don't know it already.
You might say why you want to meet and ask how they feel about that.
You can learn from your spirit guide by asking them questions.
Trust the first image,
Words or feelings that come to you when you seek your spirit companion and talk with them.
Sometimes the answer comes even before the question is fully formed.
The first response is nearly always the most relevant.
Bring up whatever you like.
Don't be shy.
Ask your spirit companion to touch you.
Be aware of an itch,
Tingle,
Pressure or sensation anywhere on your body.
This touch can be very helpful.
It can remind you of your friend's presence.
It can help make real their presence and it will help you access them again the next time you want to talk.
So don't be shy.
Ask your spirit companion to touch you and be aware of where the sensation occurs.
When the conversation feels complete or has given you all you can handle,
Feel free to end the encounter.
Say what it meant to you.
Thank the other.
Say goodbye for the time being.
Continue to sit quietly.
Reflect on this conversation and this connection.
What did you learn?
What did you feel?
What did you experience?
Finally,
When you feel complete,
Return to your everyday consciousness and resume the rest of your day in the glow of your luminous conversation.
