How to Meditate

Location

Find somewhere quiet and relaxing. If you have an altar, near there will be fine. Light a candle and some incense if you wish.

Try to use the same place each time, as each time you use it the energy there will grow making it easier for you to connect.

Turn off any distractions such as the phone and the TV.

Also make sure you are warm enough

Your Posture

Sit or lie comfortable. Do not cross your arms or legs. Keep your back straight and place your hands on you thighs. Close you eyes and relax

Getting Started

Relax all of your muscles and concentrate on your breathing –with each outward breath relax further and further

Grounding/Centering

Visualize the energy of the earth coming up through the soles of you feet and out through your head into the stars

Then visualize the energy from the stars coming down through your head and out of your feet, rooting you to the ground

Protection

Say a few words asking your guides and deities to protect you. Remember to tell them what you want protecting from

Imagine yourself enclosed in a ball of silver light

Opening Up

Firstly try singing a song, (in your mind or out loud) to raise your spirit. If you use the same song every time it will become your "theme" tune to link with spirit

If you use them, imagine each chakra opening up like a flower. Do not open the crown chakra fully.

Be Aware

Watch for any images entering your mind or colours. Listen to see if you can hear anything. Be aware if you get any tastes in your mouth. Sense if there are any unusual smells that weren't in the room before. Feel if spirit touches you physically. Be aware of any way spirit may talk to you

If they do contact you talk to them. Ask them questions & treat them as a friend

If you feel overpowered by them, ask them to step away.

Thank You

When you are done, thank the guides for coming and ask them to depart

Close the Chakras

Visualize each chakra closing once more. Do not shut them completely
