Writing To Your Guides
|
|
|
by Sonia Choquette, Ph.D. |
|
|
In addition to talking to and speaking aloud what thoughts they pop into your mind, another direct way to communicate with your guides is through writing. Your hands are direct conduits of your heart, the place where your guides speak to you.
To start, it’s best to pick a specific time of day to write to them and write only then. If you have questions or issues that come up before your writing session, jot them down in a small notebook and save them until your appointment. Don’t be surprised, however, if by writing time, answers have appeared.
Choose a time when you will be relaxed and uninterrupted. Unplug the phone and choose a place where you can shut the door to ensure privacy. Notice that I said privacy, not secrecy. Contacting your spirit guides for assistance is your right as a spiritual being and you can do so in private without censorship or interruption and without explanation to others.
This is a very important point in assuming your spiritual maturity. Many times clients have told me they need to hide their efforts at contacting their spirit guides from their intimates, such as spouses, family, even children because they would not approve and negatively judge them.
As a spiritual being, you do not need another’s approval when growing your own soul and seeking guided support to do so. If you are working to connect with your guides and are at risk of encountering negative reactions from others, it is self-loving and healthy to protect yourself and your efforts by keeping your pursuits discreet. But private is different from secret. If you try to contact your guides with an attitude of doubt and secrecy, you are at risk of attracting low-vibration and not the high- vibration guides who can serve you.
I hesitated about saying this, but my guides insisted I do because it’s a common issue and I am asked about this often. Just be practical when setting the stage to connect. There is no need to advertise your intention to those who wouldn’t be receptive enough to understand and respect your effort, just as you don’t advertise writing in a journal. Just quietly find undisturbed time and work in deserved privacy.
SETTING THE INTENTION
To ensure that you make contact with high spirit guides and not freelance entities that will do you no good, it is important to set your intentions.
You can do this in several ways. First, start by saying a short prayer asking your angels to protect you and only allow high-vibration guides to enter your frequency as you write. You can also light a small votive candle to indicate the light of your spirit, intending only to receive guidance that supports the highest good of your spirit.
You can also write your intention to only connect with spirit guides that are on a very high and loving frequency and will assist your soul’s growth, or you can simply state out loud that you intend to work only with the highest vibration guides possible and block out all lower frequencies from this exercise.
Once your intention is set, you can begin writing to your guides immediately. State your questions one at a time.
The first question my students ask me is whether to use pen and paper or a computer. Out of habit I used to say always use pen and paper because it’s more organic and bypasses the brain. But then I ran into people like my husband, Patrick, who has terrible handwriting, which stresses him to write, or my daughter, who has dyslexia, which confuses her. They both find writing on a computer easier. Now I say write by hand unless it causes you stress; if so, use a computer as long as you can flow with it.
When writing to your guides by hand you have two options: either use your dominant hand to write the question and your other hand to write the answer, or mentally change channels and use your dominant hand for both. Do what feels best; the key is to write quickly and get into flow. Just know the guides will show up when asked and whichever method you use is a matter of how you best give up control. Your guides don’t care. Of course, using a computer eliminates and conflict.
Once you’ve set your intention and started to write, introduce yourself and ask for guidance in this way: “I am Sonia and I am asking my spirit guides for assistance and support at this time.”
Be polite and respectful and remember you are asking for guidance and not turning your life over for the spirit world to run. Word your questions appropriately, avoiding “should I” questions, but asking “what guidance can you offer on this (fill in the blank) subject?”
Approach your guides gently. Don’t bombard them with too many questions at once. Stick to three or four at first and don’t get hung up on such requests as “who are you?” because guides often work in groups in response to writing. I will address who your guides are in following chapters. Just intend to summon the highest guides to complete your writing exercise and leave it at that.
Keep your questions simple and direct. Your guides are intimately connected to you and far more familiar with your struggles than you know, so there is no need for details. For example, you might write: “I am struggling with finding satisfying work. I feel blocked and frustrated. What guidance can you offer about the nature of my blocks and what steps to take to move forward.”
The guides are smart. Trust them to know what you’re seeking far beyond your words.
After you write your question, put up your pen for a moment, open your heart, and listen inward. Trust your body and relax. Then, holding the pen loosely, begin writing again when you feel the urge. Don’t think about your hand being taken over. Your guides will gently nudge you to write, although there were times when my guides were so enthusiastic and I was so open that it felt like a great force had taken over. But usually, at least in the beginning, the urge to write is subtle. Subtle or not, you will feel an urge to write; when you do, begin.

Sonia Choquette, Ph.D.
Psychic, Healer, & Author
|
 |
Sonia Choquette is a world-renowned and highly spirited six-sensory author, story teller energetic healer, and intuitive teacher who specializes in helping others recognize that we are all endowed with a sixth sense that we can count on.
A masterful and humorous teacher committed to strengthening intuition in our daily lives, she is the bestselling author of seven books:
Diary of a Psychic,
The Psychic Pathway,
Your Heart's Desire,
The Wise Child, True Balance, Your Psychic Pathway to New Beginnings,
Your Psychic Pathway to Joy,
and numerous audio editions.
A highly trained six-sensory intuitive and life guide, with an extensive background in Eastern and Western mysticism, Sonia was educated at the University of Denver and at the Sorbonne in Paris, and holds a Ph.D. in metaphysics.
She says, "I am comfortably and competently intuitive because I was encouraged at all times to be awake, aware, and guided by my sixth sense. I grew up in an environment that treated the sixth sense as the first and most important of our senses. I view it not only as natural, but actually essential to successful navigation in life. Intuition is a gift that we all have, that we can all experience, that we can all trust and that we all need!"
In working with people for more than 32 years of almost daily one-on-one private consultations, Sonia insists that the sixth sense is natural to us all, but dormant in most. Whether we call them "hunches" or "feelings" or as she does, "vibes," everyone has them, but unfortunately most people dismiss or ignore them to their detriment.
As we try to adapt to the world we now live in, Sonia emphasizes that trusting our vibes, our sixth sense in action is "no longer optional. Awakening and strengthening our sixth sense is becoming more and more fundamental to our ability to live harmoniously with ourselves and others in the new world order."
Paying attention to the sixth sense-learning to listen to it, to trust it, to train oneself to call on its guidance-are the challenges facing six-sensory people trapped in a five-sensory culture.
Approaching human potential "from the inside, out," Sonia offers a unique brand of grounded and practical techniques for people to use in order to activate their most sense and let it lead their everyday life. Her mission, in other words, is to help people to "trust their vibes."
She guides them in how to build a psychic scaffolding to support their sixth sense so they can be more brilliant and effective than they've ever thought possible.
She teaches that our sixth sense's primary function is to guide our soul's growth and keep us connected to our path and purpose-without its direction, we lose our way.
In her first book, The Psychic Pathway, Sonia introduces us to our 'vibes." In her latest book, Trust Your Vibes, she shows you how to master them.
Sonia's own path has encompassed bestselling books published in more than 23 countries, speaking and conducting workshops around the globe, thousands of grateful clients, and a home in Chicago that she shares with husband Patrick Tully, daughters Sonia and Sabrina, and a poodle named Miss T.
