and are there any spells/chants for gaining respect?

hmm no1 knows??

I guess it depends on each person's belief system as to how simple of how complex an answer you might get.

I'll start off with the simplest method, the one least tied up with religious or ritualistic nonsense.

From your heart, with full and positive intent, just ask the universe, pray, make a verbal request, however you want to do it, for your spirit guide to make itsself know to you.

Then wait patiently for as long as it takes - minutes, hours, days, weeks. Be open and set no expectations, your guide may come to you in a way that you might not expect, or may be someone or something you did not expect.

If your intent is true, a spirit will make itsself known to you.

Lastly, be careful what you ask for. You might just get it!

Blessings,
James.

what do you mean by that??

[James S]

It can mean two things...

If you wish to be guided by the spirits, be prepaired for all that it can bring you. Sometimes they like to push us to become more than we are.

Be precise about what you ask for. The spirits don't deal with vagueness, as that shows a lack of resolve on our behalf. Let what you want be very clear in your mind.

Consider the man who asked for a Ferrari only to have the next door neighbours kid leave his little red toy car on the man's front step.

The universe has a sense of humour, and its not afraid to use it

Hi Kris,

I have always found meditation to be a fantastic way of interacting with my guides, and I have met most of my spirit guides in this way.

You simply set the intent of wanting to meet your main guide, before you even go into your meditation.  Go to a nice meeting place in your meditation before you meet - maybe a lovely garden setting or a seat by a lake.

The most important part in this method is to trust whatever thoughts or impressions come to you during your experience.  I know people who in their first try only had a colour impression or feeling that someone was there - GREAT!  You got something.  Pat yourself on the back for being open enough to receive that much.  When you try again next time, ask for the same guide, and you may be surprised at how much clearer they become.

Also, I have a friend who finds that her new guides slowly build up their image around her.  So at present she has been telling me of a new guide which has come in.  So far she feels it is male, and gets the colour purple with him.  You may find that your guides build up an impression in stages like this.  Many others I know of, who use this technique, find they have someone present completely first or second meditation.  Remember it is a very individual thing, and depends on many factors.

Good luck!

Would thought's alone work? or do request's need to be verbal?

I don't have a huge amount of privacy living in a house of people who would call me an imbicile for romotely believing in something like this let-alone trying it

Thoughts work perfectly for me. Just say the request in yor mind while in trance, and don't think about it after you finished your work. Just forget about it and it'll give best results. At least that's my experience.
