Talking to Spirit Guide for Beginners
*If anyone does this different, please explain because I have moved to asking my deities mostly and don't know many who do this*
I'm not new to spirituality but spirit guides are something I've only been into for about three years. My old coworker explained that she turned to her guide for decisions daily that she made and I was flabbergasted. Anyway, I figured I would post about how I communicate with my guides now that she told me how she did. I haven't known more than three people that do so I'm curious if anyone else does. I tend to use a pendulum until I started following a deity and a goddess.
To start my sessions with sitting down because it takes a lot of energy (from me when other spirits want to come through). I will start to meditate to get me into the mind space, deep breaths and opening my mind, Imagining an open box or a large open space, the void. Once I am calm and my body is relaxed, I will hold my pendulum in my fist and imagine a ball of energy in the closed hand. Opening my hand after a few seconds to a minute (your choice), I will place my nondominant hand palm up and then holding the end of the chain with my dominant hand. Dangling the pendulum at least a few inches from the middle of the palm, you want to start kind of like a Ouija board.
Mentally or physically ask to speak to your guide and your intentions on talking, be firm that you only want to speak to your guide. The pendulum should start spinning in a circle by now. You can start by saying hello and then asking for them to show you yes and no. Left to right/Up and down are typical directions that will mean yes and no, it changes person to person. Diagonal swinging can mean maybe, and circle could mean idk or ask again.
The questions have to be yes or no unless you manage to get those answers to be different objectives like "Yes is gym and No is watching a movie". Always say Hello and Bye, asking for the pendant to swing in a circle ending the session because it can act like a Ouija board. Practice makes perfect. Practice balling your energy, with caution because you will get tired, and basic yes or no questions will get you used to the feeling of using energy.
