Spirit Guides

This Lesson was Given to me by a Very Close and Dear Friend ( Kelek Erbus) and since I have had alot of questions about spirit guides I thought I would post this lesson hoping it will help you to understand more about spirit guides and Invoking your Spirit Guide.

Benevolent Guides:

Many people believe they have spirit guides. Some refer to theirs as angels
or guardians. Regardless, if you believe you have one, a spirit guide is there
simply to guide, not as an entity that you need to give yourself over to. If a
spirit guide has a negative influence on your behavior, then chances are good
that it's not a spirit guide at all, but something else entirely. These are some of
the more commonly found types of spirit guides:
Ascended Masters:

These are guides often found by people who do energy work, such as Reiki. A
ascended master who appears as a spirit guide is often a being that led a physical
life and has moved on to a higher spiritual plane -- for example, Buddha, Krishna,
even Jesus. Ascended masters usually work with collective groups of souls -- in other
words, if you've got an ascended master hanging around you, you're not the only one
he or she is helping. Their primary focus is that of helping all of humanity. It's not
uncommon for an ascended master to have access to Akashic records. Also referred
to as Master Teacher guides.
Ancestral Guides:

An ancestral guide is one who can claim some sort of kinship with you, such as your
dear Aunt Tillie who died when you were ten. It may also appear in the form of a long-
dead ancestor. In some schools of thought, these entities are seen as reincarnated
guides, because they are the spirits of someone who loved us during their physical
lifetime, or who had some sort of blood connection to our family. Some people,
depending on their religious upbringing, may see these types of guides as guardian angels.
Common Spirit Guide, or Teacher Guide:

A typical spirit guide is archetypical, symbolic or representative of something else. For
example, you may find your guide appears in the form of a warrior, a storyteller, or a wise
woman, and they have appeared to you for a purpose. Typically, that purpose is to teach
you and guide you along a particular path. They may also introduce you to other archetypes
along your journey, and help out with problem solving, based upon your needs. They are known
to provide insight by way of dreams or meditation, and may only hang around as long as you
need them, then move on.
Animal Guides:

Although many people claim to have animals as spirit guides, often these entities are more
companions than anything else. It's not uncommon for a deceased pet to linger around,
keeping you company through the grieving process. In some spiritual traditions, such as various
Native American or shamanic paths, a person may have an animal totem, which provides
teaching and/or protection.

~~ Seven Spirit Guides~~


This is just a basic lesson to explain your spirit guides and what those spirit guides represent and are for as well as how to meet them.

The first spirit guide represents yourself. This guide may appear to you at other times, he/she may often be your primary guide overall. This is the guide that should be informing you of problems with your life in general and helping you through it.

The second spirit guide represents your emotions. This guide is to warn you away from negative emotions and guide you to happiness.

Your third spirit guide represents your body. This guide is to encourage you to take good care of your physical body; exercise, good hygiene, and healthy diet.

Your fourth spirit guide represents your mind. This guide will encourage you to think and to learn.

Your fifth spirit guide is your earth guide. This guide is to help keep you both grounded and sensible.

Your sixth spirit guide is your guide to the spirit world. This is the guide that may guide you through certain meditations or projections, he/she is also who you will most likely find when it's time to move on after this life is over.

Your seven spirit guide is your protector. This is the guide that will warn you away from danger and try to keep you safe.

These seven guides can be met in a meditation. You don't need to be in a deep meditation, just get comfortable and relax. Take five second inhales followed by five second exhales. Visualize a place that makes you calm and relaxed, like a field or forest, it could even be the school gym if that's what you like. Visualize yourself there in front of a wide circle, standing just outside it and looking inward. Continue to meditate, don't forget those five second breaths. Wait for the first guide to appear. When it does, ask him/her for a message. What and listen. When ready, step to the side(left/right, your choice) and wait for the second guide. When he/she appears ask for a message then step to the side again. Continue doing this until you have met all seven of your guides.

I suggest you keep a pen/pencil and a piece of paper as well as a solid object to place the paper on all nearby so that as soon you are done with the meditation you can write down everything that happened. If you can get comfortable near a computer or laptop, you could use a word document instead of writing utensils. This way you won't forget the guides nor the messages, those messages are to help you through this life in some way.

All the information may be considered private or public according to what you want.

To share my experience, here's what I found when I did the meditation.

My first guide was a silver dragon, my brother in a past life. My second guide was a wolf, my grandpa in a past life. My third guide was a panther, my sister in a past life. My fourth guide was a mantis, a close friend in several lives. My fifth guide was a wolf, my father in a past life. My sixth guide was a raven, another close friend of mine in several lives. My seventh guide appeared as a pillar of light with the outline of a draconic humanoid figure, my best friend and the commander of my army in my very first life. They are all both my family and friends in this life. Most of these guides I had met before doing this meditation, the only one that was new to me was the seventh guide.

The only message I received was from my third guide, the panther, and she told me that I need to work out more. I do good by practicing my martial arts and even better by teaching others, but I've set aside the rest of my normal workout routine to focus on that. So we agreed that a daily alternating routine would be good. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays I'll stick to my normal routine, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays I'll focus on martial arts. My fifth guide, my wolf father, told me to listen to the panther so that workout routine is one I'll be sticking to until I've joined the military at which point the military will be telling me when and where to do what exercises(at least until I'm out of boot camp).

And that's pretty much it. When I did this meditation we had a vanilla scented candle lit to help us relax and we did this meditation as a group with my mother-in-law walking us all through it, she's the one who taught this method to me.

Good luck and I hope this works for you too.

This Lesson was also passed to me by Kelek Erbus and I am sharing it with you today hoping that it will help you learn and understand more about Invoking your Spirit Guide.

~~Invoking your Spirit Guide~~

Before undertaking any task, especially spell-casting, it is important to know that your Spirit Guides are there to help. Unfortunately, the Spirit Guides will only help you to a certain degree unless you ask for more. Here is how you can do that.

1) Play some soft meditation music that will help you to relax and clear your mind of negativity.

2) Visualize yourself in a safe and secure place where your Spirit Guides can meet you.

3) Clear your mind of all images except that of your Spirit Guides.

4) Request your Spirit Guides for help with the corresponding purposes in the following order:

First Spirit Guide- is for your self image or appearance.(Self-Guide)
Second Spirit Guide- is to help balance your emotions.(Emotion-Guide)
Third Spirit Guide- is to help keep you healthy.(Body-Guide)
Fourth Spirit Guide- is for your mental growth and learning.(Mind-Guide)
Fifth Spirit Guide- is for advising and encouraging.(Element-Guide)
Sixth Spirit Guide- is your Guide through the Spirit World.(Spirit-Guide)
Seventh Spirit Guide- is your protector.(Safety-Guide)

If you know their names then that can help you in requesting their help, if not then refer to them by the name listed to the right of the description. If you'd like you can also refer to them as ''Guide of my ***'' instead. So, for example, the first one would be the Guide of my Self, second would be Guide of my Emotions, etc.

If you need me to tell you what to say, then say the following, but coming up with your own personal greeting, request method, and show of gratitude may be more effective since then it is all coming straight from you. Here's what you can say if you can't think of anything for yourself at the moment;

''Spirit of my Self, please help me to begin my tasks.
Spirit of my Emotions, please help me to be balanced.
Spirit of my Body, help me to stay fit and healthy.
Spirit of my Mind, help me to learn and grow.
Spirit of my Element, advice and encourage me, help me to do right.
Spirit of my Spirit, guide me in this life as you will guide me out.
Spirit of Safety, help to guide and protect me.

Guide me with your wisdom, guide me with your knowledge, help me to stay safe and learn what I need to learn. Help me to stay balanced, help me to stay strong, help me with all the following tasks at hand.''

You can then follow that last line by listing some things you need/want help with. This is a good way to start your day or to make sure your Spirit Guides will help you with the specific job/spell/whatever that you are about to do. At the end of the day, or at the end of the specific task, say this;

''Spirit Guides of mine, thank you for your help. Thank you for your wisdom, your guidance, your protection, and your aid. Thank you for your knowledge and for allowing me to accomplish the tasks I had this day.''

And you are done. Never forget to thank your Spirit Guides, even if you do forget to request their help. Knowing that you are grateful may encourage them to be even more watchful without your requesting their aid.

Keep in mind that you don't have to do anything as long or fancy as what I listed. You can keep it short and simple, but it is good to list the Spirit Guides as individuals.

Thank you for reading.
Hope this helps. :)

Wow, this was very helpful drakken thank you ima try to contact someone now ;D

Thank you for that post, Drakken.

One question - I know that you need to invoke your spirit guides in a particular order; but do they show themselves in any particular order?

Thank you for this lesson Drakken.
In the past, when I feel overwhelm, afraid, feeling in danger, confuse, hurt, I would call upon my deceased ancestors and the Blessed Virgin Mary to help me and guide me during my troubled times. Upon doing so, either I felt a sense of reassurance, protected, loved, relieved and other different feelings resulting from my "prayer". I even do this when I feel any of my children are lost their ways or just need guidance. Is this the result of invoking spirit guides?

That was a very good lesson..

Yes aileen it is and Thank you everyone for reading it and responding. I am so glad that so many of you are enjoying and learning from my lessons

Pwalls, when you invoke your Spirit Guide they come in the order that you invoke them.
