When feeling your own guides trust your own intuition.
I have a lot of my ancestors who participate. Let your mind open and you will feel who they are. You see them with your soul. I find that when I concentrate to much on "seeing" them I lose the message.
I think people are misunderstanding the Power surges.
They do not drain you but they scare you the first couple of times it happens. I feel honored to be able to feel the incredible energy coming through me to help others.
The guy that I am dating is very supportive for me on this spirtual journey. He has not had classes but his heart is so kind and tender. I had him do a REIKI session on me the other night. When reaching the Sacral I starting shaking and felt incredible blockages coming out. Back surgery and C section in that area. The power surge in reverse.
I see one of your guides but more importantly what do you see?
Love and light.
