Calling Your Guides

This is one method I came across to help get in touch with your spirit guides:

You do chakra cleaning/balancing by running energy through yourself or a while until cleaned (a month, week, ???). Then do a meditation like the following:

Ground and center. Run energy through your body from the earth. Run energy down from the sky until it fills you. Go to the crown of your head (that is, your attention). See if anything/anyone is there. If not, call your guide to you. See it/he/she coming from a long way off. As it/he/she get's closer, identify it. Thank it for coming. Ask it for anything thing that you want. Ask it if it has anything to tell you. When finished, thank it and bid it goodbye. See it go away.
