My Spirit Guides

Mary Ellen

I first encountered Mary Ellen as a teenager. I did not know her name until much later. However, I was very aware of her presence just the same. It was she who saved me from falling into an open drain hole. I was out for a walk, not really paying attention to my surroundings when a loud decisive voice ordered me to ‘Stop’. Two steps ahead, somebody had removed the grate off a drain hole.

For many years, I could only hear a female’s voice belt out various verbal warnings.

“Watch out,” a voice warned, saving me from being struck by a car.

Mary Ellen physically appeared to me years later. I had just woken up to discover a yellow beam floating in the room. The beam morphed into a beautiful dark haired, fair skinned lady of approximately forty. She wore a golden yellow gown with a matching bonnet. Her clothing style would be of the early 1900’s. She looked smiling at me. “Hello,” she said. I instantly recognized her voice.

“What is your name?” I asked.

“Mary Ellen,” I understood through telepathy.

Dan

One evening, I was busy reading a client at the Capri Restaurant. A male spirit guide kept reappearing. After being interrupted three more times, I stopped the reading.

“Excuse me Sir, I need to stop your reading for a few minutes. An unfamiliar spirit guide is trying to communicate. Please sit quietly. I need a couple of minutes.”

Now the guide was hovering slightly above the table top in midair. He displayed himself from head to shoulders. A flame-like golden aura surrounded his white silhouetted body. This balding, blue-eyed male was roughly fifty years old. It took time to focus on his fair facial features. He spelled his name out one letter at a time mid-air D A N. After Dan’s amazing introduction, he vanished for a couple days.

Dan regularly appears to me in full color or black and white. I’ve seen him wearing jeans, a shirt, a jacket and cap. Other times he wears a robe. I noticed him wearing glasses. Glasses are scholarly on the other side – nothing to do with vision problems.

Dan has been my main teacher over the past several years. I see and hear Dan. Awake, asleep or meditating. He spells letters, words and numbers out in midair. Telepathy is often used during our communication.

On occasion Dan has rung my door bell, early in the morning, when I‘m partially awake and lazing about. I have jumped out of bed struggling with my housecoat, running down the cold hallway and getting to the front door, just to find no one there, not even a footprint in the fresh snow.

Climbing back into bed and shutting my eyes, I could see Dan’s smiling face.

“Forget it Dan, I don’t do mornings!”

Occasionally my phone will ring once waking me. The telephone caller ID displays several zeros or nothing. Closing my eyes, I can see Dan grinning.

Experiences with My Guides

The following stories contain a few encounters, which I’ve had with my Spirit Guides.

The Stadium

Astral travelling happens when the soul ventures out of its earthly body, while remaining connected by the silver cord of life. This can happen while asleep or awake. These journeys can be either spontaneous or planned.

While sleeping, I spontaneously astral travelled. I found myself on the other side, in an empty ancient open air stadium. My spirit guide Dan was walking down a field with me. The communication was telepathic, which is a strong connection of thoughts, felt intuitively.

Dan and I started heading off the field and up the stairs. I suddenly noticed nine stones, the size of billiard balls, flying in midair towards me. These were racked in the traditional triangular formation used to start a pool game. Out of fear, I fled back to the safety of my body. Seconds later, I awoke, hearing and feeling the stones hit my spine from the bottom to the top.

I went to see my chiropractor the next day. I explained to him what had happened. He was shocked to find my back perfectly aligned. Prior to that day my back was never straight.

Crystal Ball

While gazing into a crystal ball, I’ve seen a couple of interesting things. I’ve seen an eagle flying about the crystal ball. One time the grim reaper appeared.

One afternoon I was gazing into my crystal ball, desperately wanting to know how I could succeed as a psychic medium, when Dan appeared! He had glasses on and was sitting at a desk. I focused on him, watching intently as he picked up a long pen. He started writing sentences on pieces of paper. I tried to get a closer look, but I was unable to read what he was writing.

The Book

I awoke from a dream. Dan appeared to me in a vision. He was smiling while holding my book half open, as if he had been reading. He seemed pleased with the contents. The book cover seemed plain and incomplete to me.

Dan showed a boardroom with 3 men dressed in business suits. They were intrigued with my book, which was in the middle of a table. Ten months earlier I had seen one of these men shaking my hand.

The X-Ray

I had stepped on something, which seemed to be embedded in my foot. Days earlier a Doctor had ordered X-rays. While on the X-ray table, I was shown “X” and “S,” which meant there was a something wrong.

The following day I was reviewing the film with a physician.

“Dr Green, my heel has a shape on it, which is shaded differently.” I pointed this area out to him. “Could this be glass in my foot?”

“Glass would look different. This is probably entry point scar tissue, which we’re seeing. Let’s wait a week and see if it gets better. I really don’t know if anything is in there. I’d rather not dig into your foot without being sure.”

After returning home, I decided to soak my tender foot. I shut my eyes, while relaxing. Through a vision, I was shown to get a tea bag and soak it in hot water. I was to put it on my foot.

I retrieved my prune soaked foot from the water and dried it off. I limped into the kitchen and boiled some water. After heating the water, I steeped a cup of tea. I returned to the living room with a soothing cup of tea and a hot compress. I sat down and gently placed the tea bag on my foot.

Suddenly my foot ached. I closed my eyes and watched numbers being presented, as a count down “4”,” 3”, “2” and “1”. Upon removing the compress, two pieces of glass were sitting on top of the tea bag. One was the size of a peppercorn.

“Is there any more?” I asked Dan the reply was “0.”

The Dentist

At the dentist I was having two teeth pulled. Spirit kept displaying the two teeth. One had a big black mark and the other was pure white. I assumed one tooth down and one more to go. Suddenly my dentist stopped working and pulled off his mask.

“I have good news for you. The shadows on the x-rays showed both teeth needed fixing. After repairing the first cavity, the other tooth is fine. Sometimes x-rays can be misleading”

Spirit Guides

Spirit Guides are highly evolved perfected souls from heaven. Our guides are not angels or loved ones. They know the lessons we need to experience to perfect our souls.

Everyone has at least one spirit guide. They can change at different points in our lives. Extra guides come and go when assistance is required. In certain situations guides and angels work together.

Relationships with Spirit Guides are individual. The soul has unique levels of development much like learning to talk. There is no pace, time frame or frequency during development. Communication with Spirit Guides can happen while meditating, waking or sleeping.

Guided meditation works well for beginners, freeing our minds and altering our energy. Meditation allows us an easier connection with Spirit.

Early Communication with Spirit Guides

Communicating with guides is different than our conversations with each other. Spirit Guides may be awkward and hard to understand at first. Some people may wonder if they’ve lost touch with reality.

Early communication with guides can be very subtle and go unnoticed. An example of this would be driving in an unfamiliar area without a map and you arrive at a set of lights. Deep inside something is telling you to turn right, even though you planned on turning left. After choosing to ignore the message you turn left and end up back tracking to the right.

Let’s say someone is trying to nail down a time frame on finishing a project. “Yes, we should be able to complete this within seven weeks. Sorry, I meant seven days.” The word “weeks” had been unintentionally blurted out. A conscious effort is made to correct the statement. Seven weeks later the project was complete. Most of us are unaware of this early subtle contact with guides.

The first message could be a meaningless letter of the alphabet or a number shown repeatedly. This is like flashcards shown randomly. These are used as a tool to see if you are paying attention. Later on, the flashcard scenario may be packed full of information. This becomes a way of downloading knowledge on future events. Another comparison would be the black numbers, which were used to count down the start of old films, on a white screen.

Once you establish a relationship with your spirit guide, there will be boundaries. Guides have their own protocol on how they choose to assist you. Calling upon your guide doesn’t guarantee answers or an immediate visit. Sometimes a flood of information is received. Other times only part of the answer is supplied. There will be frustrating times, when no answers are revealed. Spirit gives us what we need, not necessarily what we want.

Communicating with Spirit

While guiding a group of beginners into meditation, at Mystics Metaphysical Shop, an unfamiliar Spirit Guide joined us. She was standing in front of me. I felt distracted.

“Excuse me, Spirit, Why are you here?” I silently asked.

“To help the others see,” the guide whispered. I went on to lead and complete the meditation with her.

I saw some of the interactions that some group members experienced during their meditation. After the meditation, I was preparing to lead the group discussion. I knew most had something interesting happen. I allowed each student a brief moment to share their experience with the group. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed movement. The pendulums on display were moving in a swinging motion. There was no air conditioner or fan in the area causing this movement.

“Could I ask everyone to look over at the pendulum display? Those pendulums are being manipulated by energy. There is a lot of spiritual activity in here, let’s experience it.” We quietly watched the swinging pendulums for awhile.

“The power of Spirit is amazing. Let’s go around the circle and share what we experienced during meditation.”

“Yvonne, I heard you let out a shriek during meditation. What happened?” I asked.

“Out of the blue, this guy was sitting there looking at me, resting his head on his hand. He was right in my face.”

“Did he say anything?”

“No, I just wasn’t expecting this. He seemed to be sitting there, waiting for an answer.”

“Debra did you experience anything?”

“Yes, the face of an elderly lady with wrinkled yellowish skin appeared. It was hard to see her eyes with all the folds and creases.”

“Your guide is a very old soul,” I replied. “Did anything else happen?”

“Yes, I’ve always suffered from ADHD. This was the first time in my life that I have sat still. I have never been this relaxed, even while medicated.”

“Possibly your ADHD may have been mistaken with spiritual restlessness.”

“Jason, what was your experience?”

“My deceased brother was sitting by a lake. He invited me to stay awhile. We sat there watching the ripples in the water.”

“You realize you’re deceased brother isn’t your spirit guide. During meditation we can meet up with loved ones. Sandy, do you have something to share?”

“A hand was presenting a bouquet of flowers to me. After a couple minutes, I could see the face of a smiling man wearing a fedora. He carried a pointer stick and drew the name Michael in the sand. I asked him if his name was Michael and he nodded yes.”

“Angie, you seem disappointed. What happened?” “All I saw was color swirls and felt peaceful.”

“Don’t worry. Seeing color is part of this experience. The rest will eventually follow. Gary, would you care to share?”

“I floated around watching the others meet up with their guides. After a while, an eagle flew by me. I was shown a special feather, which will be given to me. I went on to participate in a spiritual ceremony.”

“Maxine, tell us your experience?”

“I could see a ballerina dancing and twirling about, but nothing was ever said to me.”

“Maggie, what happened to you?”

“When I shut my eyes everything went black. I took the time to relax.”

“Your third eye is undeveloped. With practice and perseverance this will change.”

Spirit versus Ultra Sound

When I’m working with clients their guides are always present and usually visible to me. There are times when I can’t see their guides. Instead I am flooded with information, which is similar to a fast paced slideshow. I find this particular type of connection more helpful.

Sheena had come in for a reading. I connected with her guide immediately. Relevant information pertaining to Sheena’s future was being disclosed.

“Laura I need to ask you something.”

“Sheena, please wait a minute, allow me to start first.”

Sheena’s guide was smiling while displaying an embryo enclosed in a lit up uterus.

“What is the arrival date and gender of this baby?” I silently asked her Spirit Guide. I received a letter “S” and a number “7” drawn in mid air.

“Is September 7^th the arrival date?”

Instant chills entered the crown of my head. Then continue to circulate throughout my body. This happens when I hit things bang on.

“What is the sex of the baby?” I silently asked her Spirit Guide. The display of her womb lit up in pink.

“A girl,” I quietly questioned and I felt the chills again. “Congratulations Sheena, you’re pregnant!”

I watched her jaw drop in total surprise and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Are you sure I’m pregnant? We’ve been trying for years.”

“Your baby will be born on September 7^th.”

“Do you know what I’m having?”

“A girl,” I replied.

Sheena’s spirit guide was giggling happily.

“Sheena do you still have a question for me?”

“No, you already answered my question about a baby. Is she healthy?”

I went to Sheena’s Spirit Guide who displayed the letter “F” for fine.

“She is fine.”

A couple months later Sheena was on the phone highly upset and crying.

“I had an ultra sound this morning. The technician told me the baby’s a boy. I’ve spent weeks working on a nursery for a girl. I went on a shopping spree and purchased many expensive outfits for her. Can an ultra sound be wrong? Could you be wrong?”

I closed my eyes and went to Spirit.

“Dan, please help us. What sex is this child?” Right away, pink was shown.

“Are you sure Dan?”

A newborn baby was shown, bundled in a light pink blanket. A tiny hot pink ribbon was tied to her dark curly hair.

“Thank you Dan.”

“Sheena, I still see a girl.”

“What about the ultrasound? What if you are wrong?”

“I’ve been shown a girl. I stand by my word.”

Sheena was still extremely upset even after I reassured her. Four months later I received a call.

“Hi Laura, I had a baby girl last week on September 7^th. We called her Amanda.”

The Guilty One

Verbal communication does happen. Usually it is short commands such as “stop” or “look behind you.” Guides have been known to lip-synch.

Sophie came to me with a difficult family situation. Several of the family members were accusing each other of stealing. Upon connecting, Sophie’s guide was displaying a hand stuffing papers into a pocket. I was trying to grasp the details being relayed. I stopped in total frustration halfway into the reading. Sophie’s Spirit Guide stood in front of me with a stern look on his face shaking his head.

“May I have your name?” I asked.

“Sid,” he telepathically replied.

“Sid, I need your help. Can you tell me who’s guilty?”

Sid had his head turned sideways and had lip-synched something.

“I can’t understand this way! I couldn’t see your lips. Can you repeat yourself?”

“Father,” he whispered in a raspy voice. “Thank you, Sid.”

“Sophie, your Spirit Guide Sid just told me “Father” in plain English. I heard him with my own ears.”

Mother Stands

Tyler had come to see me for a reading.

“Laura, I keep seeing the face of a man. He randomly appears, when I’m relaxing with my eyes shut. I don’t know him. Do you think I’m seeing a ghost?”

“No, ghosts don’t appear that way. This male is your Spirit Guide.”

“That’s odd.” “Why?”

“Last week, I found my elderly mother standing on top of her bed, looking contently at the ceiling. She’s been confined to a wheel chair and unable to stand for many years. In a panic, I quickly helped her back into bed. My mother insisted a pretty lady wearing a long blue gown appeared to her. Did she experience a ghost, spirit guide or is this dementia?”

“Your mother’s spirit guide appeared.”

Departure Dreams

Elderly friends have called me after experiencing these dreams. While sleeping some people visit the other side, prior to death. The person is approached by their spirit guide in a beautiful setting, such as a park.

An invitation is extended, such as “I have the perfect place for you. Would you like to stay awhile?”

An elderly widow had a familiar man, whom she couldn’t place, proposed to her.

“Mildred, will you marry me. I already have a beautiful dress for you to wear.”

“Not right now,” she replied.

To accept the invitation would likely mean passing while asleep. To decline the offer, one should realize the time is near. Some people are very firm about needing to get back to something right away. Others find themselves among people who have been gone a long time. They are mingling with them and enjoying themselves.

Spirit Guides Use Codes

Spirit does use codes such as “Y” for yes or “O” for no. Other common codes seem to be “X” for wrong or problem and “S” for is. When I’m correct “S”, becomes visible in midair. This is similar to someone nodding their head in agreement, while listening to someone speaking. I can see these codes with my eyes open or shut, while conversing with others.

The Boyfriend

Wendy had come in for a reading.

“I’m having trouble with my boyfriend Justin. Is our relationship going to be okay?”

With open eyes I viewed a big “0” drawn in midair. I went on to ask her guide, “Is their relationship over?” Letter “Y” was with a lit up background, which meant yes.

“Wendy this relationship is shown to be over.” “Has Justin been telling me the truth?”

I closed my eyes and “X” was displayed with a dark background.

“No.”
