Consulting Your Spirit Guides (Secret No. 7)

This week as part of our highly creative bloggers Next Chapter Book Club we are taking a look at: seeking out role models and advisers, reading about inspiring lives, and guiding others. (Side Note: This post is from a few years ago)

CHALLENGE #1 Searching for a guide (in the flesh):

My story - Short Version:

Never had one.
Always wanted one.
Dreamed I was one.
Became one.

*Update - I now have a spiritual mentor/guide in the flesh and her name is Francesca De Grandis.

Long Version - How to Find Your Spirit Guides:

I never actually found the "perfect guide" in the flesh, but I did find several in the spirit world. My recommendation, for those of you searching for your spirit guides, is to start out by working with a deck of tarot or oracle cards. My deck of choice was the Greenwood Deck, a Celtic Pagan deck created by Mark Ryan and illustrated by Chesca Potter. The two cards featured in this blog post were the ones that kept cropping up for me over and over again. But it was the Ancestor card that proved to be my greatest guide, acting as a gateway into the spirit world. By following (metaphorically/symbolically) the trunk and roots of the trees pictured in the card, down into the ground and beyond, I was able to access my main spirit guide, Annie.

Update: Nowadays I would definitely work with my own hand painted oracle decks!

How To Connect with Guides to Help Others:

When I give readings, I connect with the greatest guides there are, The Divines. I didn't start out by giving readings, I worked up to it over many, many years of practice. I suggest you find what methods work best for you, whatever allows you to quiet your mind (monkey-mind), open your heart, and become humble in the presence of Divine Beauty, with the realization that you are merely a channel and a messenger. Your job as a guide, is to remain open and connected, so that you can deliver healing and insightful messages in a non-judgemental, comprehensible and clear manner.

Interview with Clair Senses Teacher Ann Melanson

Ann Melanson

I am an everyday, ordinary person like you, who happens to be in touch with her intuitive, psychic ability. I have to put one foot in front of the other everyday, knowing that I am here for a greater purpose.

My greatest area of opportunity is remembering to ask you permission to voice the messages I receive after I have met you. I get random messages about different people all the time, sometimes the timing is not so great, like in the middle of making dinner for the family, and the angels are quite adamant that the messages are delivered then and there, so off I go to send an email or text message to someone or another, while the purpose at hand becomes postponed. Angel messages are always full of love, hope and beauty, I think, why wouldn’t you want to know what the angel’s messages are for you?? BUT… I understand that not all of you are ready to hear these messages…so I have learned to not just blurt out that your grannie says "Hi" from the other side… or that you have a bit of a dark side you have learned to overcome…, or any other such message I receive upon coming into your energy field.

More about Ann: Ann began her career working as a free-lance makeup artist/esthetician working with such names as Schwarzkopf, Christian Dior, and CBC Television. Knowing that her life was destined to encompass a spiritual theme, an opportunity presented itself to obtain her Reiki Level II new moon soul therapy by Ann Melansonthrough a well-known Reiki Master of the Usui tradition. Using her gift of intuitive ability, she continues to enlighten many people using methods such as Angel Card Readings, Psychometry, Reiki, Past Life Regression Therapy and Chakra Balancing. Ann believes in the empowerment of women, and the expression of individuality through love, understanding and enlightenment. She shares her living space with 3 children, a life partner, and many furried and feathered outdoor friends. Ann can also be found at www.wisewomanuniversity.org/melanson/

Wise Woman University is a sacred distance learning environment for the reweaving of the healing cloak of the ancients. Ann is a Wise Woman Mentor of Clair Senses Soul Therapy. Within this 4 week course you will learn how to listen to the daily messages from the Divine through opening your 4 major Clair-Senses and putting them to use in your daily life.

CLAIR SENSES SOUL THERAPY COURSE GOALS:

  1. Learn how to interpret a 3-card spread for a reading by using the Clair-Senses
  2. Develop your strengths by trusting the messages you receive
  3. Bring about positive changes in your life by acting on the Clair-messages
  4. Understand the power of intention

fairyFIVE THINGS THAT MAY BE BLOCKING YOUR INTUITIVE GUIDANCE

1. You need to be grounded, and clear-headed. Meditation, breathing, focusing on rising above your fifth-sensory world to raise your vibration. Having a quiet mind is key to receiving Divine messages of wisdom and love. Spend time outdoors with Mother Nature. Continue to nourish your body with fresh fruit and veggies, drink nourishing infusions to clear your body's filters of negative energy.

2. You are not asking for help! Your guides/angels/higher power cannot interfere due to the law of free-will. You need to quiet your mind, and ask for your messages from the Divine to be delivered with love and clarity, and in the highest good of all involved.

3. Your questions/prayers are being answered but in unexpected ways. Open your clair-senses and be patient while the Universe works out the details. Be aware of your sixth sense by asking yourself: what do I hear (clair audience), what do I feel (clair sentience), what do I know (clair gonizance), and what do I see beyond the physical (clair voyance).

4. The answer you seek offers challenges that you are not ready for yet. The message you seek may require confidence, maturity, courage beyond what you have mastered to accept and move forward with. You may not be ready to take action. The messages may also be delivered from different sources over time allowing you to digest the information in a way that allows you to cope. Sixth sensory living and spiritual growth go hand in hand so let go and have faith and your answers will come.

5. Your living space is muddying up your aura with clusters of clutter and unnecessary objects that hold negative energy. Clear away your space, donate items of value that hold negative energy whenever you see or hold the item(s). No matter what the monetary value, it is not worth giving up your psychic health for. Clean up and clear out your drawers, closets, cupboards and storage areas and you will experience a feeling of lightness and well being. In doing so, your clair senses will have an open channel to your sixth sensory living.
