How to Meet and Work with Spirit Guides

Ted Andrews shares in this book some fun ways of increasing your non-physical awareness through diet (eating high-vibration foods like vegetables, and fruits - lemons, oranges, pineapples, papayas), fasting occasionally, bathing in salt-water, through acupressure and gently massaging two points at the back of your head, and stimulating hui yin point (at the perineum) while your tongue is placed at the room of the mouth (this is actually a part of Microcosmic Orbit practice, as well as moola-bandha in yoga).He then mentions varieties of scents that assist in spiritual perception - from frankincense that raises the vibration, to lavender that he says has been worn by individuals to see spirits and stimulate greater awareness of their presence, rose for spirit guides of love and joy, gardenia and wisteria, popular among the occultists to attract nature spirits and guides of creativity, healing and inspiration.He then shares exercises for relaxation, meditation and visualization for raising your personal vibration (see yourself as a light). One of the exercises he suggests for raising the vibration is the Middle Pillar exercise from Qabala, based on Golden Dawn tradition. This is followed by The Mystic Marriage exercise which activators and aligned the upper four chakra centers of the body and increase the flow of energy to them, enabling greater use of intuitive and Higher Self capabilities, which in turn facilitates recognition of spirit guides. (On the other hand if you have your own favorite way of increasing your awareness of the spiritual realm according to your affinity and beliefs, you may as well do what you feel most comfortable doing). Upon this you visualize your inner sanctuary, a place where you feel comfortable, safe and protected and where you will initiate communion with spirits.This book then contains techniques that involve mediumship, inspirational and automatic writing, even ouija board (many would advise to leave ouija boards alone), scrying with the crystal ball. Among the spirit guides, the author suggest you can contact guardian angels, archangels, all kinds of angels, nature spirits. He shares the method of working with archangels using the signatures base on the Golden Dawn technique of tracing the Hebrew letters of the name on the symbol of the Rose-cross.The author then shares techniques for connecting with nature spirits, honouring spirit totems and animal spirits, this time through a combination of Golden Dawn and shamanic journeying techniques. And then we come to discarnate entities, ghosts and hauntings.Appropriately, there is a chapter on important precautions where you are advised to use discernment. When you are involved with spiritual beings who contribute to your well-being you experience increase sense of joy, vitality, creativity, inspiration, energy, and you feel a sense of inner peace. if the energy you sense unsettles you, then discontinue contact.If you prefer non-occult way for working with spirit guides, you may like better Sonia Choquette's book "Ask your Guides".

I'm 53 and returning to occult studies after decades of being in the "punch-a-clock, 9-to-5" working world; and raising a son. My feeling of Ted Andrews is that he was knowledgeable and sincere and certainly dedicated to esoteric studies. Because of his extensive studies of animals and energy, I purchased this book. It is small and an easy read. It doesn't have an abundance of foreign or non-English words. He doesn't try to explain a whole philosophy, he sticks to the point. This book is about how to approach this with ease, gentleness and confidence. Some old texts on this subject lead you to believe that if you don't sit in the exact middle of a drawn pentagram and light candles in the four directions and sit there at 2 am, you're going to get possessed by the devil or something. Ted explains connecting to your spirit guides in a way that really just opens up your confidence to understand the energies and unseen forces that are operating all the time -- TO OUR BENEFIT. The practices are taken from ancient texts but made simple and are powerful for getting in touch with your energy and exploring the energies of those who surround you or want to connect/communicate with you. It's a good book to read if you are concerned about someone you know who might be interested in this. I like the book and for the price and content, would recommend it to others.

This is a good book as are the others by Ted Andrews. However, if you think that you're just going to read this book through once and lay it down and meet your guides that is not the case. This is something that takes a bit of work and a lot of concentration/meditation. It is a good read, with some useful information just beware that it's not an easy or simple task.

Although I have been know about the spiritual guide for a while, I am always searching for more concrete information about it so that I can understand It more deeply, and work with it.It is hard to trust many of those information online, And plus, did a little research about the author and know more about him, I feel the urge to give it a try.I have been reading this right after I purchase, and it is fascinating. I have gained great amount of insight about this subject area. It is simply understandable, Clear, and have guides and exercise where it lists all the steps out for the audience too; well illustrated picture in it as well. I found this book useful.I recommend this book to people like me who wants to gain more insight.

I wanted the book with the cover that was pictured and got something completely different instead. I think it was an earlier publication of the book. It’s a good book, but I wanted the one pictured because of the added edits that were made to it.
