So one thing that may frustrate some people is the answer to their question "How can I see my spirits?"
The answer always seems to be "MEDITATION!" which is true <3
So....let me give you some advice!
There are a TON of guided meditations on Youtube. I highly recommend these for those starting out. This gives you instruction WHILE you meditate, which helps a busy mind focus on one thing. If you don't have access to youtube because you are in the mountains and want to give this a shot, here are some other hints.
1. AWAKE MEDITATION:
This is when yo are awake. This could even be while your eyes are OPEN. Some may be very confused by this, but sometimes I can only mediate with my eyes open lol!! That takes practice.
2. Sleeping meditation:
This is going on the lines of lucid dreaming. Takes practice, but here is a tip. Lay still and DONT MOVE. You will want to itch....you will want to move...DONT. Keep your mind awake, but your body asleep. When your breathing evens and your chest becomes heavy, that is when you know your body is asleep. You will see colors swirling, just watch and have fun!
3. Sitting meditation:
Ok well.....this is the one that most people have difficulty with. OK...clear your mind, close your eyes, and just LISTEN. Listen to the sounds around you. If you are in the city, listen to the cars, try to pick out how many you can hear, listen to the air conditioner go on and off, try to hear the birds, etc. Just...breathe....
