We recommend that you begin and end each lesson with a short meditation of ten minutes duration, as your body and mind need to be calm and relaxed to achieve the best spiritual/psychic results.

Most people have two Spirit Guides or Guardian Angels throughout their life, from birth to death. One usually represents itself as a female and the other as a male.

The female or yin energy often comforts, heals and gives guidance from a feminine perspective, while the male guide often protects, advises and gives support from a stronger yang energy. These Spirit Guides are often entities that you have known in past lives, family members who have passed over to the astral realms or unrelated volunteers who wish to help and experience the conditions you are going through in your current life.

Your Guides are never judgmental about your behaviour or actions, as they understand your motivations, very clearly. However, they are there to help you become more Divine in nature, so it is worthwhile listening to their loving advice, as it may save you a lot of unnecessary heartache.

Try to consciously and regularly talk to your Guides. Make friends of them. Ask them for advice and ask them to direct you in practical ways, eg. find parking spots in busy areas, locate an article you are searching for at the shops, direct you to the right people for certain tasks. When you truly make contact with your Guides you do not ever have to be lonely again. They are there for guidance and support any hour of the day and night.

Many Teacher Guides will come to you, for short periods in your life, to educate you about certain aspects of your physical or spiritual journey. There are Teacher Guides who specialise in Art, Music, Dance, Mathematics, Healing etc. and are always available for higher inspirational help, as all Guides have access to the Akashic Records and the Universal Consciousness.

Call upon them to help you with specific and complicated tasks. For example if you need to fill out your Tax Return papers, ask for an Accountant Teacher Guide, to help you work intuitively, with the task. If you are involved in creative artwork such as painting, ask a Spirit Guide to come and help to inspire you. Who knows you may have Picasso or Michaelangelo turn up to inspire you!

The Archangels who oversee Creation and never incarnate on Earth, are located on the Silver Level, connected to the silver chakra. These angels, such as Michael, Uriel, Ariel, Raphael, Azriel etc are always willing to come to you for guidance, protection and comfort. Call them in around you, when needed. Just send out a mental request and they will be there. There are amazing stories of angels who have prevented muggings, robberies or aided those in need.

Remember these Archangels are always willing to help you. Do not feel that they are somehow, too important to deal with your everyday issues. You are important to them! (Use Exercise 1. To achieve this, after first establishing contact with your own Personal guides.)

The Masters are also Spirit Guides that can come to you with advice and guidance. Again, remember these Ascended Masters are always willing to help you. Do not feel that they are somehow too saintly to deal with your everyday issues. Your worries are important to them!

On the Lower aspects of the Fourth Dimensional Planes are the un-evolved, less spiritual beings who often attempt to contact humanity for their own selfish purposes. Some of these beings may attempt to manipulate and frighten you, although their initial contact may appear friendly. These lower astral spirits have been known throughout history as poltergeists, ghosts, shades, spectres, etc. When they are around, you will normally feel cold, apprehensive, often nauseous or smell a rancid aroma.

It is important when attempting spiritual work, to fully protect yourself. Ouija board gatherings and unprotected seances will often bring in these un-evolved lower astral beings. We advise you never to participate in any unprotected psychic gathering. However, if you do have any problems with the lower astrals, call on the Masters and Archangels, particularly Archangel Michael, to send them away. People of different religions can call upon their own cultural/religious guardian figures. However, please remember that the Masters and Archangels are non denominational. They will help everyone!

It is essential when you are contacting Spirit that you ALWAYS USE A COMPLETE PROTECTION TECHNIQUE for your own safety. This has been discussed fully in Class 5

Remember, your Spirit Guides - guide you, they never command or demand ! You have absolute free-will to live your life, as you please. This is one of the purposes of incarnation on planet Earth - it is a Freewill planet. A loving Guide will help and occasionally nudge you to better behaviour, but never tell you how to live your life.

If a Guide appears to be telling you to do certain things and you are not happy about it - send the guide away. You always have the power to do so and the Higher Guides are never offended by this action. If you ever feel frightened - call in your Own Guides and Archangel Michael (or other appropriate religious guardian) to send these entities away and they will soon be gone!

Write down what you have experienced and think of how you can make greater contact with your Spirit Guides in the future.

Note* The more often you contact your Personal Spirit Guides the more clearer, quicker and stronger the contact will become. At first you may just see them indistinctly or not hear them clearly, but with practice, the contact will become stronger. Soon, you will be able to mentally converse with them, whenever you like. But again, it needs practise, practise, practise!

Exercise 2.

We advise you to make the initial contact with your Guides when you are in a calm, relaxed state and try to contact them, at least several times a week. Often when a person becomes upset or under stress, they find the contact difficult to make. This is when you need to be able to relax yourself thoroughly and protect yourself, then reattempt contact.

Remember when you are upset - you separate yourself from Spirit, they don’t separate themselves from you!
