Contacting spirit guides is as old as civilisation itself. Shamans dating back to at least 50000 B.C. ritualistically contacted nonphysical entities. The Mystery Schools of Ancient Egypt Greece Persia Rome and India also dealt with contacting spirit guides. Every major religion acknowledges the reality of discarnate entities or spirits whether they are called saints angels the Holy Spirit and so on. One of the purposes of this book is to demystify this process. The media's depiction of spirit contact has led to the false assumption that anyone who establishes this contact must be in great danger. In reality this communication is natural relatively simple and a wonderful growth experience. Spirit communication removes the fear of death and bereavement and results in a form of spiritual empowerment. Contacting our spirit guides can help us: * Develop our intuition and other psychic abilities. * Increase our ability to love ourselves and others. * Become more aware of the workings of the universe. * Establish better contact with our own Masters and Guides and Higher Self to facilitate our own spiritual evolution. * Protect us from negative entities and/or other forces in the universe. * Access the wisdom of the ancients. * Establish and maintain our own physical mental emotional and spiritual health. * Overcome bad habits and fears. * Eliminate the fear of death. * See into the future. * Master the art of out-of-body experiences. * Learn our true karmic purpose.
