When talking about their inner guides, dreamers may choose
various names in accordance with personal background and experience. Dreamers may speak extensively about their
inner-guidance, but have they remembered to give a sign of gratitude? And why
is this important.
Giving thanks to your spirit guide for information shared in
dreams, prayers and meditations is a way of rewarding them for a job well done
and ensuring future contact. It is much like when your children or loved ones
listen to and follow your advice. You are much more likely to share more. Seeing
them experience success from your guidance is a reward. The same example holds
true for spirit-guides.
Tallulh Lyons and Kathleen O’Keefe-Kanavos are in constant contact
with their spirit guides. They combined their personal experiences and shared on
the International Association for the Study of Dreams (IASD) online Symposium.
The goal of this symposium is to share cutting-edge research and information on
dreams, spirit guides and Dreaming-with-Others
for research. This information is shared with medical practitioners, students
and the world community of dreamers.
For example, Tallulah Lyons is currently in dialogue with an
inner guide she addresses as Eli. He is an ancient black man who appears in her
dreams. On her weekly radio show, Kathleen often refers to her callers’ inner
teachers as ETs (Eternal Teachers) who “phone home” for help during times of
crisis. Members of the cancer dream
circle in Atlanta with Tallulah have talked about the Inner Healer, Inner
Guide, Inner Adviser, Eternal Teacher, Creative Spirit, Holy One, Mystery,
Source, Presence, and Universe, as well as many specific names.
Kathleen is often in conversation with Dr. Jules, her female
medical spirit-giuide who is also described in detail in her book Surviving Cancerland: Intuitive Aspects of
Healing.
In his classic book Guided
Imagery for Self-Healing, Martin Rossman, M.D., addresses the fact that
there are many theories about the source of inner guidance. He advises , and
Tallulah and Kathleen agree – that there are three proper responses for helpful
guidance:
1.
express gratitude
2.
take action
3.
and integrate the energy into waking life.
If you wish to connect with inner-guidance through dreams,
perhaps thanking your guides before going to sleep may be a way of opening the
lines of communication and manifesting an action by imagining it already
completed. Just say thank you and then sleep on it.
