Help with self-hypnosis, contacting your Spirit Guide?

Question

Recently I did hypnosis to contact my spirit guide, I did the breathing, became relaxed and followed the visualization the hypnosis gave me. I was sitting on a bench and asked my spirit guide to come to me. I did have someone appear that identified herself as mary beth and gave me great advice. But how do I know that my imagination didn't make this up? Please share your experiences and how you distinguish imagination from actual spiritual contact.

Answer 1

When I have contact with spirit it usually comes in different shapes and forms. I dont always see spirit but know who/what they are and can hear their voices, or know if they are male or female by sensing energies.

Ive never seen an angel, but i wonder if the female voice i always hear over my left shoulder when doing readings is an angel, she tends to help me make sense of what spirit is trying to say and she guides me through it all.

You will know if it is your imagination or not.

Often though we are unable to ask our guides for personal help - it defeats the puropse of our abilities, but on the rare occasion when we are letting our guard close they will help us directly so that we are still able to guide others that are in need.

You shouldnt need to distinguish spirit from imiagination, spirit will come to you in whatever way they can so you always need to be aware that they are there and follow their guidance.

Answer 2

their is no such thing as spirit contact its all imagination

Answer 3

I seemed to contact a guide a few years back. He came as a voice in my head, but I also had an image of him. I am a Christian, but I was going through a lot of rough stuff. I also had a very intense panic disorder... which I still have, but have calmed.

Along with the seemingly good voice, a bad voice also started to come to me. It would say terrible things, and the two voices would always fight. The good one would always make the bad one go away.

I still don't know what kind of spirits they were. You have to be very careful and build trust before you start taking advice. Mine gave me a lot of good advice, too, but he said things I didn't trust.

Who knows if it's just our imagination? I don't know.

My imagination is one of my greatest qualities, and it's very possible that I made it all up.. a friend in my head, because I felt so alone and didn't have anyone to talk to.

People have told me that good spiritual contact is distinguished by a peaceful feeling.. but also, even more important, is the way you feel when the spirit stops talking or goes away. If you feel bad when they leave, then it is a bad spirit, and good if it is a positive spirit.

Good luck!

Answer 4

I am serious when I say contacting a spirit guide isn't done through self-hypnosis, it's done through self-delusion.  Please believe me when I say I am not making fun of you either.

Despite a complete lack of evidence or reason to think they exist, you begin with the preconceived notion that spirit guides are real.  Then you are going through a series of rituals and processes in an effort to convince yourself they're real.  If you keep this up eventually you might actually begin to believe it.  That doesn't mean it's real though.  it just means that through deliberate ritual you have convinced yourself it's real.  This would be true no matter what you are trying to convince yourself of.

Answer 5

If you are a professing and practicing Christian, you will not delve into activities like these. There are many others, like spirit of the glass, etc. These are activities you may be curious about, but of which you may not know enough. Actually, you are playing with evil spirits already, and you may come to the point that you become possessed, and you would not know anymore how to get out of it. Try going into a very dark room, and say all those mantras, and you may get the surprise of your life, bec. somebody you never heard before is right there inside the room and talking to you. In reality, evil spirits are all around us, even at this very moment, and they are just waiting for the chance to enter the most inviting or the weakest in us. Go ask your priest or pastor and you'll be more informed.

Answer 6

¡It was your...imagination,of course, -- your FEAR!

         agoraphobia is multifaceted ¿what  "sort" of....fear do you...feel exactly,for sure...some bad experiences!!

So maybe you can face it...again and again,I am completely agree with Peter D...you can be confused...too fast,just don´t be!

    i was reading your best answer,so.....after being there in Deutschland -- Army,being in Munchen and....after watching and "feeling" DACHAU you still believe in spirits,it was as REAL as you saw..."HIM"!!! (Feels -- there is nothing to be afraid of..)

    p.s. cognitive therapy is the best thing you can ..DO(facing your ...demons)

Answer 7

you have a strong peaceful spiritual feeling that can last for weeks or days or just for the moment. You feel like your floating on air on a natural high and nothing can harm you . I believe we have angels with us always.

Answer 8

Well what I did was I first established (still establishing) a relationship with my guardian angel ( angels dont pertain to a certain religion) after a few days of really being aware of it and talking to it and getting to know how it communicates then I asked him (mine comes to me as male) to help me locate my spirit guide. I did this in school so if it worked there im guessing it can work anywhere haha. I got into a meditative state and asked my guardian angel to be with me and protect me on my journey. I asked him to not let any evil spirits and spirits not for my highest good to come past me. I thanked him and then I asked that my principle or leading spirit guide make contact with me ( I dont know why I said principal or leading, This excersise came to me as I was  going a long so i believe it came to me through my guardian angel or spirit guide) After I asked it to make contact with me I let the question go and just cleared my mind. Then an image appeared of a woman. I believe this is my spirit guide. That is the only time I made contact with her. I have been trying more but I dont get an answer :)  I know it will happen when im ready and when it is the right time :)

      I am not wiccan but my friend is and I just want to say that it is a beautiful religion! PLease message me if you have any questions or want some other expercises I know :)

                   Love Light and Peace :)

Answer 9

The best piece of advice I can give on this is to stop worrying about the "is it real or not."  You seeking insight or guidance, does it really matter if it comes from a spirit guide, or if it is a metaphor created by your imagination? I doesn't really matter.  

The insight and guidance are the parts that your looking for.  your not a scientist trying to prove/disprove a spirit guide.

Sounds like you got some great advice, and if it is a great as you say, does it matter if it came from your imagination, your higher self/divine wisdom, or from a spirit guide?

Your looking only at the destination (spirit guide or not), look at the journey (the advice, wisdom, and insight)  You will learn far more from the journey than the destination.

cheers,
