Connecting with spirit guides - is it for everyone?

[Astro Arcana]

I've tried a few guided meditations to connect with my spirit guides, but I haven't had any luck. I don't see or hear anything. Is connecting with spirit guides something that every psychic is able to do, or is it more specific to certain abilities? Are there different ways to connect that aren't so visual or auditory?

 

[Anne Marie]

Short answer: yes—connection is learnable, but the channel differs. Many psychics are clairsentient (feelers) or claircognizant (knowers), so if you don’t get movies-in-your-mind or clear words, nothing’s wrong—your signal may be felt or known.

: Try these non-visual, non-auditory ways to connect—practical, step-by-step

Reframe first

• Don’t force images or voices. Ask for guidance in your primary sense: feelings, body cues, “just knowing,” symbols, or synchronicities.
• Use a simple opener/closer: “Only guidance for my highest good. Thank you, I now close this session.” (Boundaries help you relax.)

Methods (pick 1–2 and repeat for a week):

1. Automatic Writing (10 minutes)
   
   • Prompt: “Dear Spirit Guides, what do I need to know today?”
   • Write continuously without editing. Expect short phrases, themes, or feelings more than complete sentences at first.
2. Body Yes/No (Somatic Clair)
   
   • Establish a baseline: Ask for a “yes” and notice micro-sensations (expansion, warmth) vs. “no” (tightening, leaning away). Then ask your question.
3. Claircognizant Walk & Talk
   
   • Gentle walk, speak your question softly, then five slow breaths. Notice sudden knowing or a thought that lands with calm certainty.
4. Oracle/Tarot Dialogue (1–3 cards)
   
   • Ask one clear question. Pull, then describe aloud what you feel/know about each symbol. Ask for a real-world confirmation within 48 hours.
5. Dream Incubation
   
   • Bedtime: write one question, place the journal by the bed, say: “Meet me in dreams with a symbol I’ll remember.” Record immediately on waking.
6. Pendulum or Sway
   
   Calibrate yes/no first. Keep questions specific, then corroborate with another method (journal or card pull).
7. Synchronicity Log
   
   • Invite a “calling-card” sign (e.g., white feather, specific number). Track occurrences and context for a week; patterns teach your guide’s language.
     
   • Troubleshooting
     • If it feels silent: shorten sessions to 5–7 minutes, try a different time of day, or do light movement first. Soft daylight > harsh lighting.
     • After-images aren’t guidance. Keep a soft gaze, blink normally, and favor feeling/knowing over staring.
     • Consistency beats intensity. Same chair, same time, small daily reps.
