Today was a very productive day for me. My husband was away camping this weekend (I DID NOT want to go, nothing there except a bunch of dirt and mosquito's that seem to always love my blood type) and he got home this afternoon. Since he was "kid free" this weekend after he unpacked his stuff, he played with the kids out in the backyard and I stayed inside. So what did I do when I had a 1/2 hour to myself?

Well, you would think that I would read one of the new books I got today.... you would think I would just sit on the couch and zone out..... or how about come online and just play on the computer?? Nope. Here is the scoop. At Christmas time, my husband was nice enough to buy me a new bath robe. It was blue with darker blue polka dots, and its fuzzy. I decided to wash it with a load of laundry. Most times I put these type of things in with the towels, but I guess I was not paying attention and washed it with HIS clothes. Fast forward to today. There were TWO shirts that were COVERED in fuzz balls because of this, and i have just had them sitting on my dresser. Yes, SINCE CHRISTMAS. So today in my 1/2 hour of "spare time" I actually used one of those fuzz removers and fixed them both. Then I decided to take a pair of my husbands shorts and sew the part that had come apart. Like a zipper part, but its Velcro. My husband notices what I am doing and starts to laugh. He can't believe that I going to 'attempt" to sew/fix these as he has never seen me sew. I told him if it works, he can't make fun of me. I made sure I did a good job (I am NOT a sewer, but I think I can mickey mouse it enough it should hold) and managed to stick myself THREE TIMES with the darn needle! (amidst laughter from my husband and my eldest wondering why I would do that to myself)

Well, I just noticed as I came and sat down, who is wearing the shorts I just fixed? Yep, my husband! So he has to keep his mouth shut about me and my sewing abilities as its obviously good to get me by!

Now onto spirit guides. I wanted to for the last week or so give you some sort of meditation abilities to connect to your guides for those of you who tried and were not successful. I will also in the next day or so touch back with the comments from that night and answer some of the questions or thoughts.

Now I was at Sylvia Browne's lecture over 2.5 years ago, but really remember this experience. She had us all sit with our eyes closed and out minds open. She wanted use to use a ribbon of light and start slowly at our feet, moving upwards and wrapping this ribbon of light around and around our bodies, moving into our organs and using this ribbon of light to wrap our organs and continue up till we got to our heads. Then she wanted us to see this path, surrounded by flowers, there were purple ones growing up along the path, there were hills of flowers all around and we were surrounded by trees. As you walk along the path, it slowly curves to your left. You come to the bend and as you come around the corner, there is the most beautiful waterfall you have ever seen, and you can hear the sound of the falls. Standing at the falls is your spirit guide. You look over and they give you a smile and you feel the touch and warmth of their embrace yet they don't touch you. You just feel at peace with them and know that this is your guides.

Now doing this exercises and visualizing it in your mind is really helpful and you will immediately be able to take in the description of your guide. Almost like its a memory of something you have remembered from before. A person you seem to recognize. Most people who have trouble with this exercises do so because they second guess what they think that they see.

Just let it come to you and don't worry about being right or wrong.. just go with it and see what happens.

For those of you that try this exercises, I would love to hear what happened for you. If you were successful with meeting with your guide or if you still had any problems/blockages. I know that even typing out what I just wrote, when I explained about your guide going to be standing there, I saw mine and felt tingles up and down my spine and arms. (the loving embrace) and just typing this now get the same loving feelings.. its great. Not everyone will experience that the first time, and might take practice. Those of you who have already opened your mind to your gift and just starting to use it might feel something, others might need practice.

For those of you who comment about your experience in the comments section, your entered to win a reading from myself. Its the bypass prediction. I will announce the winner WED to give everyone enough time to try this.
