Hello and welcome to the meditation on spiritual guides. So what I'd like you to do to get started is to get yourself comfortable, either seated or lie down. Take a deep breath and prepare yourself to welcome in a very loving presence. Miracles are a natural and constant occurrence in everyone's life, they are part of a divine scheme. Sometimes they are sought, but very often they are not. And we can recognize miracles and the grace from which they flow very often in our relationships.

After all, spirituality is about relationships with ourselves, our families, our friends, our colleagues, and our community, our environment, our world and our God. challenges and relationships can basically be traced to hurt. You either hurt someone or you get hurt and this discord can often mess test itself in the external world as difficulties in health, finances, career, lack of spiritual growth or even in the relationships themselves. This is because our experiences in the external world are essentially a reflection of our own internal world and the makeup of our internal world is heavily influenced by our relationships with others this is why We encounter custom made life situations to heal which are designed especially for us. In the face of those situations we can experience true love. by forgiving and seeking forgiveness from those we have hurt in that process our hearts flower and we begin to experience grace once again.

Another way to say is the greater you love the greater your experience of grace and miracles will be. So let's let ourselves go and expand into the world of love and the flow of miracles and grace. What I would like you to do now is to imagine yourself above some beautiful place, a healing place, a sanctuary place. As I count backwards from five, using the words down and deeper. I'd like you to drift down to this place and into a very deep and peaceful state of calm and peaceful relaxation. Number five, feel yourself going down, down drifting deeper and deeper.

For drifting down, down drifting deeper and deeper. Three drifting down and down deeper, deeper to drifting down, down deeper and deeper and one drifting down. deeper, deeper and deeper. If you are now in your sanctuary place, I just ask that you imagine yourself being there as if you were actually there is every detail that you notice? I'd like it to take you into a deeper and deeper place of calm and peaceful relaxation. So you can become calm, peaceful and deeply relaxed, calm, peaceful and deeply relaxed.

Calm peace. Relax, relax. As you continue to gently breathe, and to relax. I'd like you to call up the image of your spiritual guide. in whatever way it comes to you. Perhaps it's a religious figure like Jesus or Buddha Or maybe it's a friend or an ancestor or someone who has crossed over to the other side.

Maybe it's an animal or color or a sacred object. Perhaps it's a feeling sensation like warmth or tingling, feeling of deep peace whatever it is, welcome in it was an open heart of gratitude and recognize that that's it Real and as your guide presents itself to you, I'd like you to take a few moments to welcome it in and acknowledge its presence. While you and your guide have each other's attention, I'd like you to take a moment and I ask for assistance in any area of your life where you need help take just a moment to listen for an answer. It may come in word or pictures or feelings and sensations or insights and a tool, intuitive flashes, symbols. Colors are in whatever way is just right for you. So take a moment and learn how your guy communicates with you.

Just continue to breathe, internalize. And as you do, I'd like you to become aware The connection between you and your guide is permanent and goes with you from this day forward. And you can invoke your guides assistance just by asking and willing yourself to do so. Take another deep breath and enjoy the presence of your guide and when you are ready There's absolutely no hurry. But when you are ready you can slowly open your eyes and gently drift back in to the conscious world.
