Magick Mondays - Finding your Spirit Guide Astrally (The Way I Used)

Finding your own spirit guide can be tricky but is worth it considering the options that will open for you. A spirit guide works as a kind of translator or moderator when talking with entities or helps protect you during your magickal endeavours.

Firstly you will need to be able to Astral Project, to do this lay down and imagine yourself emitting a white glowing light from your body and get yourself into a drowsy state. You should be completely relaxed and comfortable, free from distractions and alone, so as not to interrupt the meditation. Lie on your back, close your eyes and clear your mind . The aim is to achieve complete relaxation for the mind and body.

Let your mind approach sleep, but do not lose consciousness and visualise a body part like a hand or a toe, until it becomes clear in your mind. Keep visualising it until all other thoughts fall away. Using your mind flex the body part without doing it physically, just flex the one in your mind. Broaden out your focus so it can visualise the whole body, and while keeping the focus steady and consistent move a larger body part like an arm and keep going until you can move any body part in your mind.

This is now a heightened state and your body will begin to vibrate. Do not fear these vibrations it is normal, succumb to them and your Astral form will begin to leave the body.

Imagine in your mind the room you are currently in and like with the body part keep focus until its clear . Then using the previous technique manoeuvre your astral body until you are stood up. Turn around and look at your physical self, it can be unnerving but keep focus and look around the room. you are now on an astral plane and this is called an out of body experience.

Secondly you will need to go to your Astral temple, if you have not already got one you do this by astral projecting and ascending to the astral plane, this might take practice but once mastered opens up a whole range of magick to you. Find a place on the astral plane you want to build your temple and begin building. You can use whatever materials you want as long as you can visualize it and see the process as its happening. You could add columns and pillars or windows. This is your space design it however you want. Your personality and like should shine through in the design. Once the outside and the structure is complete you can begin working on the decor of the temple. Visualize and create the flooring, any furniture you want, an altar and even storage for tools. Seating is important for when you are meeting with other entities or astral spirits. It can take more than one sitting and the more elaborate ones can take a long time to build up

Once you have a temple walk around in your sanctuary and call out

“Come, I welcome you, hidden entity, my guide, come and sit with me.”

Sit in your sanctuary and see if your guide approaches. If the entity fails to appear do not worry, try again on a different day and eventually the entity will make itself known to you. Once contact has been established you will be able to converse with and evoke said entity outside of the astral worlds.
