Notes on Discerning Entities

For the following practice, be aware of these points:

• Ask if the entity is it your advocate. If it isn’t it will probably go or ignore you
• Ask your advocate for help, and check the results
• If your advocate suggests something that you disagree with, ask how such advice would be useful
• Question your advocate and discuss any course of action before taking it
• Do not give yourself into the hands of any entity without challenging it’s identity and intentions
• Do not assume a passive or unquestioning attitude

‘Finding Your Guardian Advocate’

1. Close your eyes, relax, be still
2. Focus on your energy field & aura around you, expanding and contracting it until you are comfortable
3. Bring to mind a place in nature where you are completely at home and happy
4. While remaining in your own space, experience that place before you
5. Say “in the name of the source of life, I call upon my guardian advocate to please meet me here”
6. Without trying to direct or imagine a result, sense, see and feel what happens next
7. Stay neutral & attentive. If someone or something shows up, ask them “are you my advocate”
8. You may not have a clear sense of their features, but tune in to the quality of how they feel
9. Ask “how am I to address you?”
10. Ask “if you are my gaurdian advocate, please give me help/advice about (whatever is troubling you)”
11. Note this advice, apply it if it feels appropriate and see if it is useful. This helps build trust between you.
12. Thank your guardian advocate for showing itself. Return to your own place and time and reestablish your ordinary consciousness

Repeat this meditation till it becomes familiar. If you don’t find your advocate first time, don’t give up.

In further meditations, get to know your advocate more. You may also find others willing to befriend you. It is possible to have more than one advocate.

If you experience something that frightens or challenges you, stay within your energy field and make the perimeter of your aura crackle with sharp, warning light (like an electrical fence) call your advocate and don your mantle.
