Needed items: salt (2 cups), 1 white candle in sturdy holder, matches or lighter, notebook and pen (optional)
Make sure you have privacy. Give at least a two hour window or opportunity. It's easier, if first, you remove all ties to the human plane if possible. Take a shower and afterwards use no cologne, hairspray, etc. Choose a room in your house, or outside, and make it as clean as possible to work in. Turn off the phone, have no outside interferences.
Pick a spot on the floor and set up candle and have notebook and matches next to you. Take the salt water and sprinkle a circle around you and your tools. Once the circle is cast DO NOT cross out of it. The purpose is to protect you when you raise energy. If you move around the circle, move clockwise. Sit down and get comfortable. Speak or think a small protection verse such as "Please protect me in my sacred circle" elaborate as you wish. Light your candle and first, study it's flickering (have windows and door shut so when it flickers you know if there is spirit energy) When you feel relaxed enough, concentrate on contacting your guide. Don't push yourself to hear anything. It may come as a whisper or thought. If you make contact, ask questions. Take notes! When you feel ready to end the discussion thank your guide, ask them to stay with you or visit often.
Blow out the candle and using your power hand "chop" a opening in the circle and say something like, "I open this circle and thank all the energies that protected me on this night". Afterwards, reflect on what you learned and get a good nights sleep. Feel free to first read or watch TV to reconnect with the human plane. Don't get discouraged if it doesn't work the first time.
I do hope this helps you on your journey to find your Guide!
