Hello Spirit friends! I hope you are all well and that Spring has Sprung all around you(: I’ve discussed this topic before but wanted to get a little more in detail with some specifics. Don’t worry, I’m not getting into a Ouija Board or anything like that although those never were intended for what they have become now…. What I will be discussing are THREE ways to set the tone or mood if you invite contact while remaining truly genuine with the Spirit World.

You can meditate, pray, listen to calming music, go out in nature, and all those wonderful things but I am going to share how to get that all organized so it comes together for you. If this sounds kinda confusing, think about when you make reservations somewhere. You have to plan ahead these days, right? Of course you do. Gone are the days of just stopping at a hotel for the night on the hopes of seeing a vacancy sign. Restaurants too or at least some. Nobody likes to wait forever for a table! Think also when you have company over for whatever reason. Don’t you prepare in some ways for their arrival? You may clean your house, cook a meal, get the extra bedroom set up, etc. Yep— that’s us. Planners for activities such as those. Our daily routines involving some prep work even though we seem like robots as our day ends or begins! The schedule is still there everyday.

Just like with making spiritual contact, some prep work should be considered. Once you have these three aspects in place, the contact will come but be prepared that you must have patience over time. Let’s begin with what I know to be true in regards to the unseen world we are learning more about all the time:

~~~1. Clear Your Space/Grounding

~~~2. Set Intention/Purpose

~~~3. Invite Universe In and become Grateful (God, Source, Angels, Spirit Guides, deceased others, etc.)

We’ll start with number one. Think of all these as you would with a close friend or family member. You’d welcome them into your home or greet them when out someplace— get the idea? Afterwards, you’d thank them or say your good-byes until next time so just imagine the Universe in the same way without most of the physical attributes. Try to find a nice, quiet space where you won’t be disturbed for just a few minutes a day. That’s all really. You can try any methods you like or play around with some ideas for a bit until feeling comfortable. Dimming lights, lighting some candles, using essential oils, saging (previously blogged last week) or anything that will get you becoming more aware. You don’t need to go outside but it can help. I love going by my favorite oak tree in the backyard or by our small waterfall feature but whatever works. It’s YOUR time and practice but be mindful of your actions always. Don’t forget to BREATHE and take some long, slow breaths or maybe close your eyes. I sit with my hands to heart but try what you wish.

Your intention can be anything you feel that day. I have a general one by just asking to grow closer to those guiding me everyday. Remember to only ask for the spirits of goodness and light to surround you during your time. Being specific is also great as they gather your thoughts for manifesting right away. It may not come as you’d wish or when, but is always for your greater good overall. You can even just talk as you would with a friend. If your purpose is real, they will hear you. Give your troubles over to the Universe as I surrender my day all the time. Ask for good feelings that will balance your head, heart, AND gut if you’re feeling stuck. Whatever comes to mind is fine, you are not being judged and there is no wrong way to communicate. You can sit a few minutes or even longer.

The last one is the invitation but also the gratitude. I ask to remain guarded, guided, defended, and protected everyday. Rebecca Rosen uses this and she is a wonderful medium whom I reference in my book. I have also used some prayers from Gabby Bernstein as well. You can say any prayer you like or even some you learned as a child. It really doesn’t matter. Just remember how important it is to remain humble throughout any type of spiritual work you do. Sure, if you forget to say “thank you Universe for guiding me this day” they aren’t going to be upset but isn’t it nice to do anyway? We all want validation and to be acknowledged so they do too! The guidance is always there waiting for us to tap into but we just need to ask. Be becoming consistent and persistent, you will notice a difference with your thought patterns, compassion, and just overall mood. I know how I feel afterwards and it’s like I was truly lifted up for the day! That might not happen for you but subtle shifts can lead to bigger ones if you practice these steps.

It becomes part of your daily routine just like brushing your teeth! I also know how I feel when I don’t start my day with that connection. My day becomes more about drudgery and timelines that make me feel sluggish and uninspired. You can end your day the same way. Thank the Universe with whatever came into your life— even the little things. Not everything is always an AHA moment and in fact, most aren’t. Let me know your thoughts on these ways of making Spirit more active in your life. I would love to hear your feedback on this practice or if it is serving you.
