In a nutshell, Contact
Your Spirit Guides provides you with all the information a person would need in
order to establish and maintain contact with their spirit guides. I should know. I’ve been channeling and working with my
spirit guides since 1980. Back then
books on metaphysical/new age subjects were not as numerous as they are today,
nor as easily available. I grew up in
Waukegan, Illinois and back in 1980 there were no new age bookstores near
me. Amazon and ordering over the
internet did not exist. My method for
contacting my own spirit guides was slowly and painstakingly developed over a
period of approximately 3 years through the process of trial and error – mostly
error. How I wish I had this book back
then! Life would have been so much
easier.
Now, all within the pages of a single book is all you
need to help you contact your own spirit guides. Asandra is a respected professional medium
who shares her personal approach with us.
Many books exist that offer a particular approach to a goal and I never
give them my endorsement unless I’ve tried the author’s approach and found it
to work for me. This is the first such
book I can fully endorse because the method that Asandra discusses is pretty
much the same method I use. I have
received many emails over the years from a wide variety of people asking me if
I’ve read a certain book and asking me what I think of the author’s approach or
method. Most of the time I have to
suggest to the person that they use their own best judgment. Just because one author’s method doesn’t work
for me, doesn’t mean it won’t work for someone else. The method outlined by Asandra is simple, it’s
direct, and I believe it has universal appeal no matter what your preconceived
notions or walk of faith may be. You
will find this book to be highly useful.
In addition to the book there are 24 cards that are
attached at the back of the book on perforated card stock. They consist of simple, but colorful
geometric shapes and each has a number and a title. The interpretation can be found at the back
of the book. These cards are to be used
in order to receive a message from your spirit guides through these cards. So, even if you are unable to establish
contact with your spirit guides right away using the method outlined here, you
can at least begin using the cards. I
found them to be very insightful. In
fact, the first reading I did for myself really surprised me, but not until
three days later, as I received the exact same message from a friend who had no
idea I was seeking guidance regarding that topic. Her words were literally the same as the
interpretations to one of the cards in the book. I doubt I shall ever forget that
experience. It not only validated to me
what I’ve always known – that spirit guides often speak to us through the
mouths of others if we’re unable to directly tune into them; but, the
experience also validated the cards to me as being a viable tool for connecting
with spirit guides and receiving higher guidance.
The book contains a set of 24 cards. The cards measure 4 1/8” X 5 ½”. They are perforated and rectangular so be
sure to bend the cards along the perforations prior to carefully pulling them
apart or you could tear them. What I did
to mine was to give them a slight trim with a paper trimmer. I trimmed off the very edge of every card,
along each side to eliminate the tiny ridges created by the perforations. Then I took a corner rounder (I’m a
scrapbooker so I have these tools just laying around my house, for those who
don’t, I ***highly*** recommend the Personal Trimmer and the Corner Rounder by
Creative Memories) and used it to round the corners, which really helps in
shuffling. Card images are reminiscent of
mandalas, are multi-colored, presented against a white background. The images are not near the edge of the cards
so trimming is easy. You don’t run the
risk of trimming off part of the image. The
card number and title appear on each. The
card back is a geometric pattern against a purple background.
Asandra discusses establishing sacred space from which to
conduct your spirit guide session, methods of tuning in and focusing, but what
I really appreciated about her approach was that throughout her book she
reiterates the importance of calling upon spiritual protection first, before
attempting to establish contact. I have
a page at my site on how to contact spirit guides (if you google “contact
spirit guides” my page comes up as Number 1) that attracts a lot of
people. I have been contacted by quite a
few who attempted to contact their spirit guides without first calling upon
some form of spiritual protection. BIG
mistake! They end up attracting
something that isn’t a spirit guide and then have a difficult time sending it
back. If you take NOTHING ELSE from
this book, do come away with this:
ALWAYS invoke spiritual protection FIRST, and this is even if you are in
regular contact with your spirit guides and have a session every day. I cannot stress the importance of spiritual
protection enough.
For those of you who are interested in channeling, each
chapter concludes with a channeling session with Asandra’s spirit guides. I found these sections to be quite
interesting and for many, I believe, the channeling sessions will answer a lot
of questions people have about spirituality in general.
Contact Your Spirit Guides is very well-written and is easy to read. The information within each chapter is
presented in a clear and organized manner that makes reading the book very
fast. The author does suggest you read
the entire book before attempting to contact your spirit guides and this is
because important information is contained throughout the book. There is no fast, easy, or short-hand way to
contact your spirit guides. Just like
anything else worth having you need to work for it.
One more thing – contacting spirit guides requires two
things: repetition and patience. You simply cannot rush the process, mainly
for two reasons. Spirit guides were once
people just like you and I. They often
retain some of their personality they had while living. Therefore, some spirit guides, like mine, are
chatty, while others may be shy and reserved.
Depending on the personality of your spirit guides, they may start communicating
immediately, or it may take quite a few attempts before you sense
anything. Also, do not be surprised if
one or more of your spirit guides turn out to be animals. That’s really an animal totem spirit, not
exactly the same thing as a spirit guide, but when you open yourself up for
spiritual communication and if you have one, they often do come forward with a
message or just to let you know that they are with you. In the end, just like with any other skill,
practice makes perfect. Even if you do
not sense, feel, see, or hear anything during your sessions, please do not give
up. The payoff is tremendous and is well
worth the wait.
Contact Your Spirit Guides is a wonderful contribution
by an expert in the field of mediumship who has been generous enough to share her
expertise with the general public. I do hope you take advantage of this
wonderful opportunity and purchase this book for yourself. You may even end up purchasing a few copies
for like-minded friends, as well.
Blessings,
Nefer Khepri, Ph. D., R. M-T.
