Spirit Guides are spiritual beings assigned to us before our birth. They come in to assist us with our soul’s ascension during this lifetime. Their goal is to help us live our best life, and because of this, they know us each exceptionally well. 

You may have known a Spirit Guide of yours in a past life.

If you study the Akashic Records clues to confirm who your Spirit Guide is, may be seen in visions when you journey to your past lives.

When you become aware of having some invisible support in your life, then usually, the next step is meeting and identifying that support. 

Knowing who is guiding you in The Spirit World can help you feel more comfortable with the spiritual guidance you do receive, so you are more likely to see it through - rather than wishing you followed it later on.

If you are getting spiritual guidance, now is a great time to start meeting those from whom this information comes.

So below, I have listed four ways to meet and connect with your Spirit Guides. 

In addition to what’s below, most people also usually want signs or evidence from their Spirit Guides. In the end, I’ll discuss how to get tangible feedback that your Spirit Guides are real, and indeed watching over you.

4 Ways To Meet Your Spirit Guides

#1 - Meet your Spirit Guides in a lucid dream

One of the easiest ways to meet your Spirit Guides is to open up to dreamwork, either consciously in meditation or unconsciously through a dream. Almost anyone can open up their ability to lucid dream by using the tips mentioned in this article:

Most people find that cultivating a restful evening routine, makes for a more productive dreamscape. 

Setting the intent to have your Spirit Guides reveal themselves in a dream the night before, can also increase your chances of remembering the dream. A lucid dream with Spirit is very similar to a visitation dream, in that it feels more vivid than a regular dream, and you can direct it to some degree.

#2 - Prayer to connect with Spirit Guides

Saying a mantra or setting an intention opens up the floor with a verbal invocation to connect. It calls down a channel of light. I’ve seen it happen in many readings and group channels. 

Use a prayer for mediumship like the one here, or one you create, when you place your hands palm up on your lap and call down your Spirit Guides. 

Once there, Spirit Guide energy often connects at the heart area. Many people find that when their guides are present, their heart area feels more relaxed and open.

#3 - Meet your Spirit Guides with hypnosis

Many people have success meeting their Spirit Guides during an energy work session with a Shaman or a Reiki healer. 

Energy work sessions can create a safe zone; some need to get into a somewhat spiritual trance, allowing them access to the other realms. You may see symbols or images of your spirit guide in these places, usually right in the center of your mind’s eye.

You can also use music to get yourself into a hypnotic state, such as drumming music, or Heart Chakra opening music, such as mentioned more below. 

#4 - Connect with Spirit Guides Meditation

You can also connect with your Spirit Guides in meditation. 

Exhale in and out several times. Bring your feet hip-width apart, and let your shoulders rest back. Visualize a channel of light beaming down next to you from above. 

A figure appears there, who is it?

You may get a name, what is it? You may also see a symbol very clearly. What is it?

Once complete, bring your attention back to your body, and ask for a sign of confirmation from your Spirit Guide. 

Can’t connect with Spirit Guides? 

Try the above again, usually up to three times each. With enough focus, it often facilitates the opening of the energy centers enough so you can sense more and perceive more each time you practice.

A few extra tips which open a connection

Self-energy work training

I also find doing energy work, such as getting trained in Reiki, or Shamanic practices, opens up the energy centers, making it easier to sense Guides. 

I’ve also found that music can help a person connect to their Spirit Guides. 

Music to connect with Spirit Guides

To connect to your Spirit Guides clearly, the mind-body-spirit must be in alignment. This often starts with getting the root of your energy field in balance, which activates your Root Chakra. Thus, earthy, rich music, like drumming, can often open the Root Chakra, creating a gateway or an energy flow, opening all the other Chakras.

If your Root Chakra already feels open, I suggest moving onto music that activates the Heart Chakra. 

This is where most spiritual energy flows, with the open Heart Chakra, clairsentience is more energetic, and sensing your guide is more natural, and thus communication flows more efficiently too.

My favorite musical track for opening the Heart Chakra is Clair de Lune by Debussy or any Heart Chakra-tuned meditations by Meditative Mind.

Ask for a sign

Once completing your connection, you can ask to have the name, symbol, or sensation you received reflected back to you as confirmation you met your guides. 

Without telling anyone what sign you asked for, wait about a day, and see if it appears. 

If it does, you’ve fully met your Spirit Guide. It feels fun to get winked at by the Universe and keep in mind that once you receive your tangible sign, your Spirit Guides may show it to you again as a way to get your attention when they’d like to tune in. 

If that happens, use the tips above, recall what worked, and reconnect with your Guides at any time.
