In this week’s blog post I will be taking a closer look at Upper World Guardians – our spirit guides when we journey into the Upper World. This week, I’ll be focussing on what Upper World Guardians are and how you can find one. In the next blog, I’ll look at what we can do with our Upper World Guardians and explain how they can help us in our everyday lives.
How can I get an Upper World Guardian of my own?
The easiest method is to go on a shamanic journey – set your intention to meet with an Upper World Guardian and ascend into the Upper World (see my previous blog, Journeying for Newbies, for more precise details on how to do this, if you are new to shamanic journeying). When an Upper World Guardian presents itself to you, simply ask it if it is your Guardian and keep looking for another, if they respond negatively or float away.
What is an Upper World Guardian?
They are an enlightened being of pure Sami energy and a manifestation of infinite consciousness. They most often appear as angelic figures of light.
Could I see a spiritual teacher or god?
Yes, indeed, depending upon your religious background, it is not unusual to meet with a personification of the Christ or Buddha consciousness, for instance.
Do you have an Upper World Guardian?
Yes, I have a few. My primary Guardian looks a bit like an angel. The features of his face are indistinct, as he just seems to be composed of light. I also regularly visit an Orca, one of the cetacean Guides you can find in the ocean of the Upper World.
So, I can have more than one Upper World Guardian?
Yes, as with Animal Spirits, you might well find that different Upper World Guardians appear to you, depending on the question you ask, or the specifics of the healing you require. More than likely, however, you will develop a special rapport with one or two Upper World Guardians in particular. As you grow and strengthen your friendship, the gifts of the Upper World will become clearer.
How do you communicate with your Upper World Guardian?
As with your Animal Spirit, the more you work with your Guardian, the better the level of communication between you both. Do not expect your relationship to be quite the same as the one you hold with your Animal Spirit – there is a definite sense of the infinite and otherworldliness to the Guardians. Be prepared for their responses to be even more abstract.
Can an Upper World Guardian cross over into our world?
As you build a rapport with your Upper World Guardian, you’ll find them a comforting presence in ordinary reality too. When you first find them, you will marvel at how often you will be reminded of them. A traditional reminder is finding white feathers appearing in your path. You might also see increased angelic representations in all sorts of media, gently reminding you of their presence. Take notice of such things and revel in your new connection.
