Acquiring and working with a spirit helper has many benefits: Psychic/spiritual healing powers, wisdom and guidance and protection of all sorts, including protection from negative influences or entities- protection from serious accidents, illnesses, and injuries, as well as all general misfortune. Ultimately, relationships with helping spirits is a means of self empowerment, which leads to wholesome happiness, and living up to your full potential- which is limitless.
Remember that the spirits are always watching- they want to help and will always hear your call. Acquiring a spirit helper boils down to the intensity of your desire to work with one, and your dedication to self empowerment. You must be willing to put your effort forth. The amount of energy you put in to it, is equal to what you get out of the relationship.
To acquire a helper, you must make an effort- demonstrate your dedication and show the spirits that you are worthy of their help. HOW you do this is irrelevant- again, what matters is that you make an effort to prove you are dedicated to self empowerment. You must show discipline. I started by doing a basic cleansing ritual/meditation every morning- dedicating my time and effort towards a power practice.
Here are some suggestions to get started- some recommended areas to apply your effort:
-Routine meditation
-Go out of your way to brighten peoples day-give gifts and offer support
-Clean up your diet
-Exercise more
-Read empowering books or articles
-Go out in nature and practice listening silently- looking for signs or messages from the spirits
-Try fasting, or sleep deprivation.
-Entheogenic use and surrender during the trips
These are all common ways of demonstrating or expressing dedication and commitment. Another way, and perhaps the most common among indigenous cultures, is through dance.
Dancing for a spirit helper: Dancing is a powerful method of attracting spirit help. You would begin by possibly playing some music, and intending for a spirit to come forth. You would begin to move slowly, and sort of giving your body over to the spirits - or perhaps to the dance itself. Letting your body move where it wants to move, without judgement or interference. Letting your inhibitions go and surrendering to the moment. It may not happen in the first session, but eventually a spirit would come through- perhaps it would come in a vision, a sound, a thought, or feeling. There are no rules or set standards. THe idea behind the dance is that you are allowing the spirit to express itself through you- allowing it to move your body as it pleases. This requires some level of surrender. When a spirit has come to you, you will know. There will be no doubts- only utter amazement and gratitude.
