Communicating with your Spirit Guide

Your spirit guide should be considered a friend, but they are so much more than that. Spirit guides are wise counselors and should be treated with a great deal of respect. I have heard of many cases where people who have long been in contact with their guides have lost contact for long periods of time because they had not followed proper etiquette and treated their guides with the respect they deserve.

In a course I recently signed up for about contacting spirit guides (see the second column about 2/3 of the way down the page), the teacher explains that spirit guides are most likely the spirits of those who have passed on who volunteered to help out the living. As such, they are people too, and they are prone to some aspects of human weakness. You wouldn’t be too happy if you were trying to help someone and they were completely non-responsive.

Always remember that when you are communicating with your spirit guide it should be done with a tone of respect and cognizance of the incredible opportunity available to you. Remember that the vast majority of people out there have never made contact with their spirit guides, and they are probably much the worse for it.

Types of Psychic Powers

There is not just one “way” to be psychic, there are many types of psychic powers that can present themselves to you during the course of your journey. Here is a short list of some of the most common types of psychic powers:

Diviners - These individuals have a gift for the ability to associate events and personal traits to common objects (like tarot cards, runes, I Ching Coins, etc), and identify what is likely to happen in a person’s life. A skill in divining is one of the most common types of psychic abilities, but that is not to say that they are any less gifted than anyone else.

Clairvoyant – A clairvoyant is a person who can “see” images of a far off place or time. These kinds of psychics tend to be reclusive or secretive about their skills because they would be considered loony by most of the world if it got out that they could see things others couldn’t. This is one of the rarest types of psychic abilities, and one that takes a great deal of time and training to nourish.

Clairaudient – A clairaudient is someone who can hear voices from a different place or time. This talent is similar to clairvoyancy, and is often shared by mediums and telepaths.

Medium – A medium talks to spirits, often with the help of a client, or a group of mediums who can help channel energy. These kinds of psychics often share a number of related skills, and have a vast storage of energy from which to draw, but are often unable to practice their art alone. If you find that you have premonitions of deceased individuals, it is likely that you have some skill in the art of mediumship.

Telepath – A telepath is someone who can read the mind of another individual. This is another relatively common psychic skill, though again, the depth to which you can train your mind to perform this task is wide and deep. I have personally met people with this type of psychic ability who could read the minds of specific individuals without them even being in the room, and can cause other psychics to have visions of them at any time or place. This is a powerful skill.

Dreamwalkers – Dreamwalkers are individuals who have the ability to receive messages through dreams. Often times, these types of psychics practice astral projection and lucid dreaming, giving them extra control over what happens to their spirit while they are asleep.

There are many more types of psychic powers, and this is by no means a complete list. I speak in great detail on this subject in my free newsletter and ebook, and the Psychic Institute course also finds this to be important.
