LS---My only advise to you regarding guides would be...ask and be open to receive. Because they are definitely there for you! We just have to be prepared because it can be quite overwhelming to some people.
My first experience with a guide took place about a year and a half ago. I asked for guidance and protection...then proceeded to relax my body with the intent of having an OBE. I then found myself in the vibrational state and exited into a tunnel. I thought wow this feels great.....then I noticed that a presence was behind me and had their arms wrapped around me in a protective manner. It wasn't a tight hug...more like I was being shielded in some way. I completely panicked...I thought...who is touching me?
Someone is touching me...who could it be!!!!Oh my God!!! I then ended up back in my body!! I wanted to kick myself later because I asked and I received...and I bailed out!
Another experience I had took place where I was sitting up in my body and could feel someone working on my throat chakra...It was so strange...It was like they were massaging my neck...and it scared me...I then said to this presence...Oh just go ahead and take me with you...(I said it to them like I was being forced against my will!).....I then felt two hands pick me up under my arms (like you would a child) and they moved me up a few inches and then layed me back down in my body...I then opened my eyes.
So the point of telling these stories is...maybe you need to examine yourself to see if you have any fear centered around actually receiving guidance. I know in my case they have tried many different approaches because I get freaked out so easily! I feel so silly because when I am in a waking state and thinking about it...it seems like such a wonderful thing....then when they actually show up to help I get overwhelmed. All I can say is...whoever is helping me has a lot of patience!! LOL
