​​Part 1: Spirit Messages

​​Connect with Guardian Angels, Archangels, Spirit Guides, Animal Guides, Nature Spirits, Ancestors, Departed Loved Ones, and More

Introduction

Many people innately feel that certain realms contain an entire world hidden away just beyond the reach of the five senses. Snippets and blimps of that world will sometimes subtly come through, although they will rarely manifest in a physical, observable form. More often than not, the other side will communicate in ways that are noticeable on the inside by those who receive, usually via intuition. More overt messages and even visible symbols from that other realm do materialize, but it’s only through higher understanding and practice that you’ll be able to truly tune into such frequencies. At that higher level of understanding, you’ll realize that messages from beyond aren’t as rare as you once thought.

These spiritual messages can carry important insights that can provide guidance, reassurance, comfort, wisdom, or even communication from your departed loved ones. Such signs can be instrumental in helping you surmount life’s hurdles, such as grief, uncertainty, and various other challenges. By understanding these signs, you’ll be able to strengthen your bond with your ancestors and heritage while also harnessing strength from the elusive realm of spirits, universal energy, and all the unseen forces that keep life churning along. 

This book will serve as your comprehensive yet detailed guide, empowering you to detect and interpret these subtle signs from beyond. It will provide you with theoretical knowledge about spiritual messages in all their forms, from the very basics to advanced spiritual and psychic communication. You will also be acquainted with an exhaustive list of signs, messages, and symbols, including their appearance, power, and meaning. 

Beyond theory, this book will delve deeply into the practical side of spiritual communication, teaching you about various sources of these messages and techniques that’ll help you read into them. You will find that spiritual messages occur in nature all the time and are waiting for you to unlock their meaning through techniques such as meditation, clairvoyance, mindfulness, and plain old intuition. By reading through the following chapters, you’ll have become more grounded, spiritual, and reflective. The meditative practices and other techniques you’ll become familiar with will also be valuable tools on your overall spiritual journey toward inner peace and balance, propelling you well beyond just the ability to receive spiritual communications.

Rituals, ancient symbols, guardian angels, psychic powers, and nature spirits are only some of the topics that will be covered. The practical exercises you’ll learn about will be of interest and use to all spiritually curious individuals, whether they’re complete beginners or have already dabbled in esoteric waters. Even though it exists mostly beyond the natural human senses, the hidden spiritual world that you’ll dive into through this book harbors valuable lessons and benefits that will undoubtedly translate into your everyday life. Understanding what these messages have to teach can help you resolve emotional and spiritual problems. Still, it can be just as valuable in your other pursuits relating to work, relationships, health, and much more. As you’ll soon learn, spirit messages are not entirely different from most kinds of regular, worldly information. Yet, they require perceptive adjustments on your part if they are to be properly understood.

​Chapter 1: Understanding Guides, Angels, and Beyond

To develop the skills needed to identify and interpret spirit messages, you must first acquaint yourself with a few essential concepts in this area. These are spiritual connections that manifest in people’s lives through various means, and they include a range of phenomena that sometimes most closely resemble spiritual entities that dwell in the world beyond. Such forces can be described as spiritual connections because they are the ones that usually come through and act as kinds of intermediaries between living people and other, unseen realms.

Spirits communicate through various forms.

This chapter will provide you with a theoretical foundation to help you understand all the essentials of spiritual communication presented throughout the rest of the book. These include many different sources of spirit messages, including spirit guides, animal guides and totems, angels, and more. Across this book, you will find a mixture of concepts from different cultures, religious practices, and historical periods, all focused on communication with spiritual beings and the realms they inhabit. This opening chapter will also explore the basics of how communication with these forces functions before you can move on to practical steps in the following chapters.

Defining Spiritual Beings

There will be a number of different spiritual beings discussed in this book, which are the usual sources of spirit messages that come through from the other side. They all play different roles and can emit unique messages that carry meanings specific to these spirits and the way they relate to you personally. Needless to say, these spiritual beings aren’t something that’s readily visible to humans, but they represent interpretations of unseen sources of spirituality and wisdom, as described by various traditions across the world. 

Understanding what these beings are and how their messages manifest in your life is essential to learning how to become more in touch with what they have to offer. These spiritual beings will be explored in more depth in their respective chapters later on, at which point you’ll be learning about their nature and the practical ways of receiving their messages. The basic overview below will give you a definitive introduction to these concepts, which will also help you determine in advance the spiritual beings most likely to relate to you and your goals in spiritual communication.

Guardian Angels

Guardian angels are a type of spiritual guide that should be a fairly familiar concept in most cultures. Their defining characteristic is their personal relationship with the living person whom they protect and guide in life. According to most traditions, they are assigned, usually at birth, and while they might step back at times, they will be present at least in spirit throughout your life. Guardian angels are your benevolent allies who want you to be on the right path, and there can be more than one at work. 

The protective dimension of their role is perhaps their most famous aspect, as guardian angels are believed to do their best to protect people from physical and other harm. Their spiritual messages are usually supportive and reassuring, as the feeling of their presence reinforces the idea that people have someone above who’s looking after them. Their love and support are unconditional, even though they might sometimes take a backseat for reasons that are difficult for mortals to comprehend. 

Guardian angels also transcend religion and, in various forms, they show up in almost all worldly traditions and orbit around you throughout your life regardless of where you were born. They are subtle spiritual beings that will hardly ever show themselves and will rarely communicate directly. Cryptic messages can come in through numbers or certain objects like feathers, but most of the time, a guardian angel’s message will serve the simple purpose of reminding you of their presence. This alone can be a source of great reassurance and security. 

Archangels 

The main difference between guardian angels and archangels is that the latter are a more universal group of celestial beings. This means that they aren’t assigned, and they will rarely have a personal relationship with a person. Instead, their protection and guidance are bestowed upon all human beings. Archangels also have identities that are clearly defined. Some of the most famous ones include Raphael, Michael, Gabriel, Uriel, Chamuel (Samuel), Azrail, and Jophiel. The level of reverence for these and other archangels varies across religions and Christian denominations, with Michael, Gabriel, and Raphael being the most commonly invoked in rituals. 

These beings are the direct subordinates of God and, as such, they wield enormous power, with each of them having particular associations and skills, as you’ll learn in detail later on. One of the most important strengths of the archangels is their omnipresence and apparent omnipotence, which means that they are able to communicate with many people across the world simultaneously. This accessibility is what makes archangel invocations very popular in all manner of spiritual practices, including communication. When you learn how to understand their signs and messages, archangels will become a source of strength, courage, inner peace, guidance, inspiration, and much more.

Spirit Guides

Serving as an umbrella term, the concept of spirit guides can be taken as referring to each or all of the spiritual beings discussed in this book. One of the later chapters will discuss what that means in more detail, but the main purpose of the term “spirit guide” is to separate those spiritual beings that guide and communicate with people from the many other entities out there. Angelic creatures, animal spirits, departed loved ones, and other beings discussed here are textbook definitions of spirit guides because people can understand them to a much greater extent than paranormal and other phenomena that defy human understanding.

One way to classify spirit guides would be to separate those that show themselves in the physical world and those that do not. Animal guides, for instance, exist in forms that humans can readily observe, unlike angels. There are many forms that spirit guides can assume, with this book focusing on the most well-known and important forms. Beyond classifications, spirit guides are a rather simple concept, as the term simply describes entities, energies, or spirits that exist to assist and provide guidance to living souls. Apart from guides, these spirits are also intermediaries that allow people to feel the touch of things beyond their physical realm. Some spirit guides are constantly present, while others show up at particularly decisive points in your life. 

Animal Guides

Animals play at least some role in most religions, but certain traditions give these creatures immense spiritual importance. Concepts like “spirit animals” among numerous indigenous peoples in America or reincarnation in Eastern traditions are prominent examples of the importance of animals in spirituality. Abrahamic religions and their scriptures also abound in animal symbols and anecdotes. Still, the idea of animals being imbued with spiritual essence, at least in the West, can be tied mostly to Native American traditions. For many Native American tribes and nations, animals were given spiritual importance within the larger context of reverence for nature. This includes the firm belief that nature teaches and guides people.

Your spirit animal guide can be any animal that you’re particularly attracted to.

Animal guides can be as diverse as the animal kingdom itself, and, as a larger concept, animal spirit guides are universal in a similar way to archangels. However, different animal spirits carry unique symbolism and meaning, and one person’s energy is usually strongly attracted to a specific animal guide. This attraction is felt in the distinct inclination you might feel toward a particular animal, such as an eagle, and how often this animal appears in your dreams. It can also be an animal that you frequently run into, seemingly by chance, while you can’t help but feel that there is a reason or meaning behind these encounters. There are many ways to determine which animal is your guide, which will be covered later on in this book.

Nature Spirits

Similarly to animal guides, nature spirits or guides nurture the connection between humans and their natural surroundings. These guides are closely associated with things like healing, energetic purification, grounding, balance, and tranquility. They can also be referred to as elemental spirits. Nature spirits come in various forms, including beings that you can’t see, such as fairies or inhabiting aspects of nature that exist in the physical world. The latter includes parts of the world other than animals, such as trees. 

Nature spirits also relate to the four basic elements of water, fire, air, and earth. In all forms of spirituality that focus on connecting with nature, the elements are an absolutely essential component of countless rituals. The importance of the elements cannot be overstated because they make up the entirety of the universe that humans inhabit. The elemental spirit of Earth, for instance, will lend its power to plants while that of water will inhabit the rivers of the world.

Ancestors

Ancestors can be a source of strength even without direct spiritual communication because they often inspire while also eliciting a sense of belonging and continuity that transcends a single person’s lifetime. For this and other reasons, ancestors and heritage, in a broader sense, have been the objects of spiritual exploration in virtually all cultures in history in some form or another. This sense of connection that stretches back in time provides meaning and an affirmative existential context for an individual, titillating the fundamental human desire to belong to something greater. 

The role of ancestors in terms of spiritual communication can be to guide an individual or an entire community of people. The latter role is the reason why groups of people tend to gather around a shared heritage, acknowledging ancestors as a common thread that binds the community together. Strengthening and exploring your roots can be an immensely empowering pursuit, whether by reading, learning through oral tradition, or any other path. Spiritual communication will only intensify this process and allow you to harness the inspirational power of your ancestry on a much deeper level.

Departed Loved Ones

Departed loved ones are one of the most frequent points of interest for people diving into spiritual communication, especially beginners. The deeply personal bond people feel toward the departed loved ones they knew in life means that these spirits can provide a special kind of guidance and reassurance. Such connections can also be sought as a means of attaining closure and resolving residual emotional issues that you didn’t get to address while your loved one was still alive.

Despite some negative connotations attributed to them by popular culture, the spirits of the departed aren’t ghosts or malicious paranormal entities whose purpose is to torment the living. On the contrary, connecting with these spirits can provide comfort and important insights essential to improving your life. However, connecting with the departed should not interfere with the natural grieving process. It’s about nurturing a spiritual and intuitive connection with someone you care about while processing the fact of their departure in an emotionally healthy manner. As counterintuitive as it might seem, establishing a connection with the departed can help you process grief. There are many other potential benefits to this form of spiritual communication, which only you can know based on your personal needs and your past relationship with the person in question.

What Is Spiritual Communication?

While spiritual communication is an expansive term, like many of the concepts that will be studied in this book, in essence, it’s all about how the universe speaks to you. When you consider the universe as a system of different realms that are all intertwined by certain energies, you’ll begin to realize that there is a particular language at play that you can learn and understand. It’s about realizing that you, as a creature with a degree of your own spirituality and imbued with universal energy and life force, are constantly being guided and influenced by the invisible touch of other energies. In the context of this book, these energies take the form of spiritual beings or guides. 

It might be a difficult concept to wrap your head around at first, but it’s rather straightforward in essence. One way to look at it is through the concept of prana, which originates in the traditions of Hinduism and related religious practices on the Indian subcontinent. The idea of prana permeates yogic traditions, alternative medicine, martial arts, and some of the biggest religions in the world. You can consider prana to be an invisible energetic thread that intertwines all things in this universe, whether living or inanimate. It flows through you, other beings and objects, and all layers of reality. Because of its omnipresence and interconnectedness, prana is seen as a fundamental force of life that keeps the whole universe churning along.

As such, every person has one physical and one spiritual or energy body. According to Eastern teachings, the energy flowing through you vibrates at a certain frequency and converges at seven important centers in your body. These centers are known as the chakras, arranged vertically in a particular order and stretching from the base of your spine and up to your head. You will learn more about your energy body and chakras in the next chapter, but remember that the sixth chakra (Ajna or the “Third Eye”) governs intuition. Located around your forehead, this chakra is all about perception beyond the five senses, especially through intuition, which is why it’s such a popular concept among psychics. Because of this, you can consider your sixth chakra to be responsible for spiritual communication.

The vibrating frequency of your energy body is also noteworthy because these vibrations have a significant impact on the attraction or deflection of certain energies when they meet in the universe. Your frequency can affect how much you’ll attract or project negativity and positivity, the kinds of people you’ll find agreeable, and the kinds of spiritual beings that will be most likely to speak to you.

The Role of Psychic Abilities

In their broadest sense, psychic abilities include an expansive range of extrasensory powers that allow people to exercise some form of sensing beyond the usual range of the human limits of the five senses. These abilities aren’t always related to spirituality. They can include supernatural methods of affecting the physical world through powers such as telekinesis or simply perceiving the physical world beyond visual range. There are countless other examples of psychic powers, but the one that relates most closely to spiritual communication is mediumship or any similar ability.

Everyone can try their hand at developing basic psychic abilities and, with enough practice, develop these skills to a certain level.

https://www.pexels.com/photo/a-woman-engaged-in-fortune-telling-6944681/

A powerful medium or psychic is someone who possesses the skills necessary not just to receive and interpret messages from the realm of spirit but also to contact the other side. While psychic abilities are integral to advanced spiritual communication, not everyone will have such powers, and some people are naturally more predisposed to developing these skills than others. This is why a wide array of spiritual techniques, practices, and rituals are meant to enhance the ability of regular people to detect and understand spirit messages. With that being said, everyone can try their hand at developing basic psychic abilities and, with enough practice, develop these skills to a certain level. Psychic power is a mighty tool that will play a central role in all of your spiritual communication efforts if you choose to hone these abilities.

The “Four Clairs”

You’ll learn more about the “four clairs” through the rest of this book, but the basic principle relates to the kinds of psychic abilities that are all about powerful intuition. All human beings possess at least a moderate level of intuition, and some are undoubtedly gifted in this regard. However, your intuition is a lot like the capabilities of your physical body, which means that it can be improved and strengthened through exercise. One way of doing this is to be mindful of and understand the four clairs. As per established practice, the four clairs include the following:

Clairaudience,

usually described as hearing voices, refers to your ability to receive internally audible messages. Of course, clairaudience is vastly different from hearing voices as a consequence of mental health issues. These inner voices that transmit messages via clairaudience are characterized by calmness and familiarity, never causing discomfort.

Clairvoyance

works similarly to clairaudience, except that it refers to visual messages instead of vocal ones, which usually come in the form of images. These messages can be specific images, scenes, or landscapes, and they are usually metaphorical in the sense that they serve as pointers toward a meaning that you will decipher.

Clairsentience

is about recognizing feelings and what they mean. Feelings are an essential medium of spiritual communication, so there is always a lot to unpack in the things you feel. This is the most common of the clairs by far since virtually everyone is born with some ability to feel emotions or internal sensations, even in their most basic form. Deciphering the messages that come in through feelings requires introspection, which is one of the pillars of strong intuition.

Claircognizance

can be summarized as knowing. In a way, this clair refers to the information you can gather from your intuition, interpreting that information and drawing valuable, rational conclusions from it.

As you can see, the four clairs all feed into each other in some way and come together into one whole. That one whole is your intuition, and the four clairs are just one of the ways in which professional psychics and spiritualists categorize and systematize the practice of intuition. Each of the clairs can be improved and developed individually or along the other clairs, which you’ll learn about in the next chapter.

Myths and Misconceptions 

Across popular culture, urban legends, and media, there is an abundance of misconceptions and myths surrounding communication with spiritual realms. Due to various ghost stories and legends popularized through things like horror movies, spirit communication is often wrongly conflated with the paranormal, especially in a negative sense. The spiritual beings discussed in this book should not be seen as ghostly caricatures that haunt the realm of the living for nefarious purposes. 

Communicating with spiritual beings is about tuning into an invisible realm that exists on its own plane of reality and learning to decipher the few signs and messages that come through. Intuition plays a major role in this communication, and your expectation should not be to conjure up ghosts or any other phenomenon traditionally considered paranormal. Instead of summoning entities for personal gain or any other reason, you’ll learn to observe, listen, and understand. While these spiritual beings will hardly appear to you in a physical sense, your skills in spiritual messaging will allow you to intuitively feel their presence.

Spiritual communication is still an undertaking that should be taken seriously and never underestimated or conflated with simple entertainment. This isn’t because spirit messages pose any kind of danger. The practices associated with it don’t always have to be too serious, but spirit messages should be respected because they can carry tremendous meaning and value. The messages that you receive from the spiritual realm will seldom be frivolous or pointless as long as you learn how to fully comprehend them.

Another common misconception is that attempts to receive spiritual messages are dangerous and invite trouble. These fears stem largely from media and popular ghost stories, especially concerning spiritual communication, as approached in this book. Paranormal activity, whether sought or uninvited, has been known to cause discomfort and other problems for people from time to time, which is why it’s important to distinguish the spiritual from the paranormal.

Other popular misconceptions state that spirit messages can only be received by using special tools such as Ouija boards. As you’ll learn later on, communicating with particular spiritual beings can benefit immensely from things like altars and other props that can enhance your efforts, especially in rituals. However, the Ouija board is more associated with the paranormal and relates closely to communicating with the dead, which is just one aspect of spiritual communication. It also doesn’t rely on intuition, meditation, or most spiritual rituals that will be covered in this book. Ouija boards started as a game and were marketed as such until popular culture and occult spiritualists in the United States gave them a whole new meaning. Intuition, meditation, and psychic abilities are much older and more established methods of contacting the spirit world, and Ouija boards are far from being a necessary part of the process.

Many people also equate spirit guides strictly with concepts like guardian angels, which needlessly narrows down the concept. It’s the perception of each person having only a singular guide that watches over them and provides guidance. In reality, spirit messages come from many sources and can be found throughout the world, pointing to a much broader system of energies and unseen forces that work together or separately to provide a whole range of messages. While it would be a simplification of the concept, it would be fairly accurate to see spirit guides as a team of unseen forces, some of which might stick with you personally while others will come and go throughout your life.

Similarly, some people falsely see spiritual communication as a highly esoteric and exclusive practice that only a gifted few can unlock. In truth, you don’t really need any special abilities to receive such messages, especially on a simpler level. More than special esoteric abilities, spirit messaging is primarily about knowledge and your ability to listen on a deeply intuitive level. 

Being contacted by the other side also doesn’t necessarily require you to enter some kind of special mental state, such as deep meditation. Spirit messages can and will come to you in your normal, wakeful state, even though meditation plays a major role in honing your ability to hear, see, and understand more of what you’re receiving. The messages will also come in your dreams, or they can come in when you’re out and about, running chores or working. There are very few rules on when, where, and how a spirit message might arrive. The only rule is that you must know what to look for and how to read it.

Furthermore, it’s important to understand that being in contact with any kind of spiritual guide is not about relinquishing control of your life. These beings aren’t there to overtly intervene in your life and make your decisions for you. Their messages and wisdom are subtle signs that can help you make the right call, choose your direction, or simply feel more peaceful and balanced. At most, spiritual messages will gently nudge you in the right direction, but you will always have to remain at the steering wheel. 

Overall, it’s important to manage your expectations and also put your mind at ease. Spiritual communication will not immediately solve your problems, but it also won’t summon a frightening ghostly entity to terrorize you or anyone else. Like meditation or standard religious practice, communicating with spirits is primarily about finding peace within yourself, becoming more grounded, and firmly interlocking your own spirit with the greater cosmic interplay of energy and spirits. Whether you want a more personal spiritual connection with someone who passed away or the universe itself, there is nothing paranormal or dangerous about these practices. There is also no obstacle to any beginner who might want to use these teachings to live a more spiritual existence. 

​Chapter 2: Getting Started with Spiritual and Psychic Practices

Before you delve into the practical methods of reading spiritual messages, it’s important to understand the value of laying down a strong spiritual foundation. The best way to do this is to learn about your energy and how you can develop your spirituality in a broader sense that relates to more than just spirit messages. This entails learning about basic spiritual practices like meditation, breathing exercises, and visualization. It also means strengthening your intuition by developing the four clairs.

You must be in tune with your own spirituality to be more versed in the spiritual realm.

https://www.pexels.com/photo/woman-sitting-on-brown-stone-near-green-leaf-trees-at-daytime-1234035/

You don’t have to be a spiritual guru to read spiritual signs and messages, especially if you use the techniques that will be discussed in subsequent chapters, but spiritual work can only enhance the process. The more harmonious your energy and the more spiritually balanced you are, the more the spiritual realm will be unlocked to you. This chapter will provide you with an introduction to general spiritual work, elaborate on the four clairs of intuition, and provide you with a few exercises that you can adopt into your daily routine. Spiritual work like meditation has a plethora of well-known benefits to mental, emotional, and physical health that will be a welcome addition to your life regardless of your efforts to communicate with the spirit world.

The Importance of Spiritual Foundations 

For about as long as human beings have been able to think, they’ve been expressing interest in the spiritual side of their lives. Countless cultures and civilizations have all contributed their customs, interpretations, and traditions to the larger human effort to explore spirituality. As such, spiritual work is an incredibly broad term that can entail any number of practices that you find most agreeable. The native religion that’s prevalent in your place of birth certainly offers many avenues toward the exploration of your spirituality, but in the age of information, you can learn about and incorporate many other traditions and teachings to enhance your spiritual life. 

There are a few foundational spiritual skills that are worth mentioning, which you are encouraged to explore in much more depth. Apart from developing the four clairs, it’s a good idea to explore various forms of meditation while also learning about the power and importance of visualization. Both of these concepts play prominent roles in some of the foreign practices that have recently gained a lot of traction in the West, such as yoga. Furthermore, spiritual protection and psychic defense are also worth studying to strengthen your spiritual foundations even further. 

In terms of meditation, it’s up to you to decide how deep you want to dive into its techniques. Meditation is a very broad term that includes anything from basic and beginner-friendly mindfulness exercises to advanced yogic practices that involve tremendous effort and knowledge. Fortunately, there are many ways to approach meditation, at least in its basic form, without being a yogic master or studying Eastern traditions in depth. A couple of simple exercises that will soon be discussed will help you in that regard. The main benefit of meditation, particularly with regard to spiritual communication, is that it will make you more present and aware. On top of that, it strengthens and cleanses your energy, reducing interference from unwanted sources and making spiritual messages clearer. 

Similarly, visualization is another concept that’s simple in principle yet instrumental in all manner of spiritual practice, especially when it comes to communication. Visualization is a powerful exercise in mental strength, usually incorporated into meditation and various rituals. One of the key goals of visualization is to create, shape, direct, and otherwise modify the energies that pass through you or originate within you. It has a lot to do with the power of intention and focus to manifest certain intentions from your mind into the real world.

Overall, there are many ways to purify yourself spiritually and strengthen your energy, and the best approach is to adopt a routine that best suits your goals and lifestyle. You can do this by strengthening and fortifying your energy or simply by achieving a higher degree of balance and inner peace. Regarding spiritual communication, your goal should be to reduce any factors of stress that negatively affect your energy to minimize interference. In the process, you’ll sharpen your intuition, increase awareness, and establish a firm energy base for more sensitive work, such as spiritual communication. 

The Energy Body 

There are many ways in which spiritual practitioners have tried to explain concepts such as universal and personal energy over the centuries. One of these interpretations concerns something called the energy body, which is one of the foundational concepts in all sorts of esoteric, meditative, yogic, and other practices. Your personal energy can also be interpreted through the well-known concept known as the aura. 

Being an expert on what your energy body is won’t be a fundamental prerequisite for reading spiritual messages, but it will go a long way toward helping you lead a more spiritual life. The tips and exercises that will be discussed later in this chapter will be much easier to understand if you first get a basic idea of how your personal energy works, what it is, and what components it features. 

If universal energy can be described through concepts such as prana, then the energy body represents you as a concentration of energy that exists and vibrates at a certain frequency. This vibration, susceptible to positive and negative changes, works as your personal energetic signature. It determines how you and your personal energy interact with the universe and many other forms of energy you’ll come into contact with during your life. These include the energy of other people, objects, spaces, creatures, or pulses from other realms. 

There are a few different interpretations as to how your energy body can be broken down and defined, although they all describe the same thing and usually involve some description of a system of various parts. For instance, you can see your energy body as having five layers, which are known as the “subtle bodies.” The five subtle bodies of your energy each refer to a certain domain or aspect of your energy, including your physical and etheric bodies, emotions, mentality, and spirituality. One of the main goals of energy work and spiritual exercises is maintaining a fine balance among these layers and having them work as a harmonic whole. When in balance, the layers come together into a strong and healthy energy field around you, which can also be called your aura.

The chakra system is similar to the idea of the subtle bodies or layers in that it also places great emphasis on balance and harmony. Since the seven chakras are defined as energy nodes or points where your energy converges, they can also be seen as important channels of communication between your physical and energy bodies. As both prana and your own energy need to flow smoothly and continuously through the chakras, spiritual practices such as yoga and meditation attribute great importance to unblocking the chakras and keeping them clear.

Keeping your sixth chakra (Ajna) clear is especially important for spiritual communication because of its strong association with intuition. This so-called Third Eye is what will allow you to see and intuitively derive meaning from spirit messages. For this reason, there will be a number of exercises throughout the remainder of this book that will focus on either strengthening your Ajna or using its power to enhance rituals and see the messages from spirit guides with more clarity. 

Practical Spiritual Exercises 

The following tips and exercises are all about strengthening your spiritual foundations and getting acquainted with basic spiritual skills. Developing these skills will help harmonize your energy and improve your overall well-being in your daily life, so they represent a broader set of skills that don’t relate solely to spiritual communication. Some of these practices can also play direct roles in rituals and exercises that relate specifically to receiving and decoding certain kinds of spiritual messages. 

Breath Awareness 

Breath awareness or mindful breathing is a staple of meditation and yoga, especially pranayama yoga, which is built around “breathwork.” This is because, in yogic tradition, the function of breathing is seen as the most basic way of channeling the energy of prana through one’s body. This means that altering your breathing in certain ways or paying attention to it for the purposes of meditation can significantly affect your energy. 

In practical terms, breath awareness works well as an overture to any spiritual exercise or ritual because it’s a way for you to enter a state of relaxation. Basic breath awareness is as simple as it sounds since it just entails an intense focus on your breathing process. It’s the simplest form of mindfulness, which aims to drown out background noise and distractions while making you completely present, attentive, and relaxed. This can work with any object under meditative focus, but breathing is the simplest method.

Simply find a peaceful and quiet place and make sure that you are as comfortable as possible by wearing loose, soft clothes and taking a simple meditative position. You can sit normally in a comfortable chair or on a soft cushion on the ground, where you can cross your legs, straighten your back, and let your hands rest on your thighs or knees. Begin by shifting your attention to your breathing without trying to breathe manually or automatically. How you breathe is not important. The goal is to become aware of your breathing without reading too much into it or trying to alter it in any way. 

Make yourself the observer and focus on how air moves through your nostrils or how your lungs inhale and exhale. Stay focused until nothing except your breathing occupies your attention. You might find this to be more difficult than expected, but if you maintain such focus for long enough, you’ll enter a state of basic mindfulness, and mental clutter will fade from your mind. With enough practice, you’ll be able to practice mindful breathing without hiding away in a quiet place, allowing you to enter a state of relaxation when you’re doing chores or running errands.
