"Any Spirit who has adopted the role of protector is your guardian. They are the easiest Spirits to call."

Most people believe in a guardian whether it be guardian Angels, or other protector in the metaphysical realm. 

In Chapter 9, Penczak discusses the various protection methods we can invoke in times of crisis or simply feeling intimidated by a situation. 

He also speaks more broadly about the role of guardians in our lives and what protection is offered and what protection is off limits.

"Everyone works with a power animal. We all have an animal nature."

In this chapter, Penczak discusses power animals and totem animals. 
How are they the same? How are they different?

Familiars are a big part of a Witch's journey. Penczak tells us that black cats are not the only familiars!

Listen in and see where your animal lay within you. You may be surprised
to learn of an animal that you see all of the time but never thought . . .why?

"Spirit Guides are like long-lost friends. In fact, they probably are lost friends, beings we have known in this world or the next who stay behind the veil."
                                                                  ~Introduction to Chapter 7

In this chapter Penczak gives us a sample of questions to ask our Spirit Guide(s).

Where did you come from?

Did I know you before?

What is my life mission?

Building a relationship with a Spirit Guide is no different than meeting a new friend. Just because they have been around you doesn't mean you know your Guide. Get to know them and enjoy this journey of discovery!

Wouldn't it be awesome if you had people you could reach out to during difficult times or just when you're lonely? We do! We have many allies just waiting to meet us. We just have to reach out and begin the journey to meet them.

In this chapter, Penczak, discusses the various types of Spirit Allies and how to discern between spirits that we encounter on our spiritual quests. Not all of them will have our highest good in mind.

Do you experience strange phenomenon in your own home, work, or space? Penczak discusses the difference between malevolent spirits and helpful spirits and how to rid your personal space, home, or office of unwanted energies.

We are doing one of the exercises in Penczak's book - Journeying

PLEASE do not listen if you are at work, driving, or in any other position that requires you to be fully present in your working mind for your safety and the safety of others.

This is not a DEEP meditation, your brain waves will slow down especially if you meditate often.

If you are new or kind of new to meditation, here are a few things to keep in mind:
 It is normal for your mind to wander.
 It is normal to tingle in your feet or hands.
 It gets easier with practice. :)

I will be guiding you today so that will make it easier for your working mind since it will listen to my voice and your imagination and sub-mind can speak to you in images.

Ready to fly?

Get your meditation station ready - add crystals, candles, incense and since we do not have music, pick a meditation piece.

In this chapter Penczak goes into detail on the various methods we can use to "tune in to the right frequency. . ." 

There are many different methods to tune into the right frequency and tapping into your inner psychic. Altered states of consciousness, tools like the pendulum, tarot and more.

We will discuss the ways to altered states that are safe and easier than most would believe.

Lots of info in this one! Ready for the journey?

"EVERYBODY on this planet has a support team . . ." 

Even if you have never really been 'religious' or 'spiritual' doesn't mean you did not have a spiritual support team. You may not have recognized their presence but maybe you did and dismissed it as something else.

Having allies beyond the Veil makes life a bit easier because you learn through your Ally's experiences and guidance. Having Allies won't change the difficulty in life, just give you tools to navigate those dark and trying times. Even minor irritations. 

I laugh with my Guide. I know he knows me well and is not offended or put off by my Capricornian sense of humor. Through my own experiences, I've learned to trust my allies more and more. 

Working with Spirits takes time, but it is well worth the journey.

In this chapter, Penczak takes us through specific examples of the differing forms of Spirit:

Deities
Elementals
Interdimensional Beings
Animal Totems
Devas
Constructs...and more.

This is a longer episode than most but listen in and get a wealth of differing examples of Spirit through the eyes of various cultures and belief systems.

Do you remember the analogy of the Angel and Devil on opposite shoulders?

In this chapter Penczak discusses our inner Guides including, of course, our Higher Self.

"If you think your unconscious self as your lower self, your deep intuitive natural wisdom then there is a counter, or balance - a Higher Self. The Higher Self is a fully conscious and aware aspect of our being." Exerpt

How is the relationship with YOUR Higher Self?

This book is amazing!

I read this book back in 2011 so I am excited to read it again. Sometimes when you read a
book once and you go back several years later, it seems something stands out that didn't
before. Or something you didn't necessarily comprehend prior suddenly becomes crystal
clear.

If you are just embarking on a relationship with the Spirit world,  this is one of the best books to read. It has lots of exercises and rituals you can use to start your journey.

"From ancient Egyptians to modern-day witches, King Solomon to Native American shamans,
individuals throughout time have possessed the power to work with the spirit world.
But it's not necessary to be a Tibetan holy man or ghost hunter to communicate with the
other side. Everyone has friends beyond the veil . . ."
