Spirit Guide Media

If you are a Catholic, perhaps mummy taught you to pray to a guardian angel to watch over you while you sleep. If you are Chinese, perhaps you have burned incense to please the house gods. Regardless of your cultural orientation, there would really be some sort of angel, demon, nature spirits and whatnot to live within your midst. Many people worship spirit guides in the hopes to get favor from them. Yes, most of them are viewed as guardians while there are also those who are sent to stir up confusion among men.

But what really are spirit guides? Why do many people fervently believe in them that they spend too much each year just to gain favor in their eyes? Why do people bother to even communicate with them at all when in fact, a man’s fate lies in their hands? Take a look at a brief exploration of the “The Other Side”.

Spirit guides were here as early as the time of Jesus. Even Jesus himself is considered to be an ascended master in the point of view of spiritualist. Ascended masters usually work for the benefit of humanity. These beings have led physical lives, such as Buddha and Krishna, who have been enlightened. Saints who have also experienced enlightenment can also be classified as ascended masters.

However, not all spirit guides were once humans. They can be energies, cosmic realms or those who have lived former lives and are about to incarnate in due time. Even animals are viewed as spirit guides. Although they are more of a companion, some people attest the presence of their pet’s soul especially during the first days of their death. Native Americans are firm believers of spirit guides. You can find plenty of fables and tales and how they have aided the lives of their believers.

Then again, spirit guides won’t be of use to you, unless you have opened your perception to them. There plenty of ways to communicate with spirit guides. One of them is through clairvoyance, meditation, dream time, visualization and the like. Meditation opens up your chakra. This way you can readily communicate or channel with your spirit guide.

Communicating with spirit guides is not for the faint of heart. Try to think about the number 1 for two minutes. If you can block away other thoughts like “Oh, I forgot to turn off the lights” at first try, that would be impressive. But as chains of thought interrupts our mind, deep meditation can be a hard thing to come by. But don’t worry; you can take spirit guide classes that will teach you how to channel your thoughts properly.

Finally, you have to have a lot of patience, perseverance and practice to be able to make contact with your spirit guide. Yes, it is a lot of work, but the rewards are amazing. Where can you get guidance, advice and warnings for free? Still doubtful? Take the time to try it and believe.

Paranormal activities get such attention because they are so unbelievable but all of them seemed so true. Alien stories, ghosts and cryptids are always attention grabbers when featured in the media. Cryptids are one of the many paranormal activities that have puzzled the minds of great men. If you have hunted for ghosts, attempted to contact your spirit guides, there are people too who have spent their lives searching for these unknown creatures.

Perhaps you have watched the documentary of the Loch Ness monster Discovery Channel or the mysteries of the Big Foot. Big sums of money were invested to unearth evidences but still to no avail. In contrast, there are people who earned a living by featuring cryptids. You can find the Yeti in J.K. Rowling’s  record-breaking book series and more recently about werewolves in Stephenie Meyer’s Twilight. Apart from these two, here are additional cryptics you should know about:

The Loch Ness Monster. Sightings of this famous lake monster  have attracted worldwide attention over the years. Nessie as it is more affectionately called is a 20-foot long sea serpent that resides in the fresh water lake in Scotland. Some people say that it has horns, which relates it directly to primitive whales. But without a decaying body to study or a single photograph, Nessie will remain a favorite subject of cartoons, movies and interesting discussions.

The Bigfoot. Known to roam the territories of Oregon, Washington and Alaska, these big creatures have remained a great mystery for years now. Cryptozoologist believe them to be descendants of the Neanderthal with their eight-foot height, furry body and enormous feet. Some report to have sighted them in family groups making a sort of calls, but none if it were confirmed.

Werewolves. These mythical beasts are highly respected by the Native Americans. In fact, plenty of legends and tales surround the mysteries of these human evolving wolves that can only be killed by silver.  Although they are more popular to be mythical creatures, the cryptozoologists still don’t exclude them as paranormal events. Although the human to beast transformations makes it a candidate for a hoax, they justify it with alien characteristics.  It may sound crazy, but others theorize them to be alien experiments on humans. And, there is also another one that says, werewolves are in fact, the Bigfoot themselves.

The Yeti. They are the Himalayan version of the Bigfoot. Instead of black or brown fury hair, you can classify the Yeti as Caucasian with its all-white shaggy fur. It is slightly smaller though at 6 feet but they too have appeared as early as the 19^th century

The Chupacabra. These red-eyed cryptids are known to suck the blood of goats, hence they are called goat suckers. The most common sightings were found in Puerto Rico, but there are also rare incidents around the Americas, Russia and even in the Philippines. Apart from its blazing red eyes, the chupacabra also has a mouth full of deadly fangs.

These creatures will forever remain as paranormal events unless cryptozoologists find evidence that prove their existence. In the meantime, the world will enjoy hearing about the amazing tales and legends that surround these paranormal events.

Paranormal events remain a popular subject among the media. The great mysteries behind such events easily catch the attention of the viewers making directors and producers millionaires in no time. Charmed didn’t make it to No.1 for nothing. However, this list contains none of those girl powers and the attractive witches of Charmed. Ghost hunting has long evolved from candles to EMF detectors which make things more exciting and more convincing to watch. Here are the top paranormal shows you should start replaying:

Ghost Adventures. Ghost stories should not be scary all the time.  If you are fond of Scooby Doo, then this will definitely suit your taste. With beefy men screaming like a bunch of high school girls every time they see a sort of ghost, you can’t help but laugh out loud at their reactions. Well, ghosts really give people the scare, but most of us expect big men to have that macho effect. If you want to look into the realms of the ghost world, this is a good find, minus the screaming of course.

The Othersiders. Cartoon Network made a great change by casting kids to do ghost hunting. It’s like Dexter’s Lab again, with the kid’s high-end ghost hunting equipment. The story is somewhat similar to the Ghost Hunters, only with a younger cast. The Othersiders are composed of five teens willing to uncover the secrets of the spirit guides.

Destination Truth. Here, a team lead by Josh Gates goes around the world to investigate truths about paranormal encounters. They interview locals and gather evidences around and bring them back to the United States for analysis. The team is split into equal groups and will try to experience the phenomenon first hand. They use thermal heat cameras and capture sounds. Sometimes they arrive at hoaxes or something really paranormal.

Ghost Adventures.  If you want some live ghost action, then this show can give you that. Zak Bagans, Nick Groff together with Aaron Goodwin explore the most haunted places around the world. Three men lock themselves up in the location documenting the trip with just their cameras. This show can really send you goose bumps when they start fighting ghosts and ward off spirits in many encounters.

Paranormal State. This show has a lot of positive and negative reviews but many people love it for its spookiness. Ryan Buell and his fellow students embark on a journey to help people with possessed family members. Although sometimes the effects are too good to be true and Buell himself is too self-conscious, the show still became the third most watched series in its network. Forget about the controversies surrounding the paranormal activities and Buell’s own demons. If you’re looking for a scare of a lifetime, you’ll simply have it in this show.

Paranormal shows become phenomenal not just because people want to enjoy being scared and experience spooky stuff. Perhaps there is something hidden inside them that wants to reach out with the “other side” to the unknown and occult world of the spirit guides.

People have tried to communicate with spirit guides throughout the ages. Ancient Egyptians have performed complicated rituals on a daily basis just to please their deities. Their belief in the spirit and afterlife is deeply rooted that monuments that testify to these beliefs still attracts millions of people each year.

The Chinese communicate with their deities through spirit writing while the Japanese finds every way possible to be in harmony with nature. Spirit guides can take many forms. They could be enlightened human beings such as Buddha, reveled animals such as wolves and horses by the Native Americans or just stones, creatures or simply as energies.

But why do people are so keen to have a good connection with spirit guides? Do they really exist or just a part of human’s endless imagination? Many have doubted spirit guides for years. However, take the time to have a look at the benefits of having a spirit guide than none at all.

Spirit guides are mediators. Yes, they are able to aid or hinder man’s effort for a better life, career and overall wellness. But, that will only happen if you open your thoughts to them and really ‘allowed’ them to do something for you. Some spirit guides have lived as humans. This is the very reason why they are sympathetic over human undertakings. They want humans to have good health, good relationships ad be successful in life as this also rebounds in their future incarnate. It’s like, if they helped you out, they will have a better incarnate in the future.

Meditation also means they can send in people to affect your lives. Guides also interact with each other and since they can benefit from good results in men’s lives, they kind of set up everything for the good of all. Have you experienced being penniless and you go around asking everyone in the office to give you a $20, even begged your parents for it, but they can’t do nothing at all? Then all of a sudden you run into an old, old friend back in grade school and suddenly he treats you to lunch, gives money for your kid because you have been too kind to teach him assignments back then? People sometimes attribute such events to coincidences. But if you have a good connection with your spirit guide, to be able to find unlikely people when you are in trouble is their own way to help you out.

They can send you warnings. Not all of us can work with our subconscious minds. But with an open chakra and a spirit guide actively guiding our lives, it can send us warnings through dreams, insights and sometimes gut feeling. Spirit guides also facilitate learning. In every trial or success, they keep people spiritually awake, meaning you have to be aware of the lessons you can derive from those experiences. Learning the lessons first hand can make your life so much easier the next time the same situation comes around.

So try your best to open up your mind to ensure you get help from your spirit guide. Learn how to meditate, appreciate dreams, listen to your gut feeling and they will help you in each and every way they can.

Meditation is one way to get away from the stress of everyday life, overcome depression and of course, get connected with our spirit guides. However, meditation is not as simple as being in the traditional cross-legged position and breathing in and out. Meditation is a serious business but again with good rewards. Whether you are taking that to get away from the hustles and bustles of life or to get acquainted with your higher being, here are some basic steps to say Namaste to a better life:

Set a routine. Treat meditation as a spur of the moment and you’ll get into none of your goals. It takes time, practice and a proper schedule for you to have an effective meditation. Carefully plot your sessions each day for 20-30 minutes preferably in the morning. You can gradually increase these sessions once you get better and better at it.

Pick up a solitary place. You don’t have to travel to faraway forests to be able to set your mind free. Any place is a good meditation spot as long as it is quiet enough to get you concentrating. You can be sitting on a chair, on your backyard, on the porch with no loud TV’s, mobile phones that might ring any moment or buses that can cut your concentration into pieces.

Choose a good position. The lotus position is the most ideal way to meditate. However, first-timers rarely make it through without suffering a strained knee and lower back. Try to have flexibility exercises to prepare for this stance. For your first sessions, try to sit on a pillow for a more relaxed and comfortable position. You don’t have to be on a lotus right ahead but make sure to straighten your back to avoid dozing off during the process.

Be calm. One way to concentrate is not to get stiff. Try to relax and care about nothing else but your breathing or your mantra. Adjust your posture from time to time to get better alignment, but try to limit your movement. Also relax your face muscles as this too can get stiff over time.

Focus. Block away your thoughts by focusing on your breathing or your chosen mantra. Try to count 1-10 while you breathe. Mantras can be anything from the “aum” word or something like “I want to see my spirit guide”. You can even practice meditating with your mantra while doing daily chores. Some people like to meditate while washing up, doing the ironing or even slight more “out there” things like going through their daily hair removal routine! In fact, I came across these no no hair removal reviews in which the reviewers both talk about how they find their tedious beauty tasks to be much more enjoyable if they meditate at the same time! Don’t be too conscious of your time either. Even if you have set aside 20 minutes, going over your scheduled time is much better. Another way to concentrate is by imagining the calmest places you want to be. It could be on a faraway beach, in the meadow and even in the outer space!

Finally, remember to meditate with an empty stomach. Studies show that digestion interferes with the positive effects of meditation and you will more likely fall asleep if you meditate right after lunch. So, remember to be at the same place at the same time, relax in your chosen position, concentrate the best way you can and no food please. Happy meditating!
