The Guide

It’s a warm summer’s night. The alarm sounds, meaning it’s time for bed. Yes, I have an alarm for bed with a title, ‘go to bed or you’ll be exhausted in the morning’.

I engage in my usual bedtime routine. Himalayan Salt lamp lit, White Sage burning and sleep music softly playing in the background, while I lay in bed. I often speak to God but mostly at night before my body shuts down in to sleep mode.

I say to God at this time, thank you for a blessed day, for all you have done and continue to do for me. My prayer tonight God, is to carry me, Joey and the people I love in the palms of your hands. Keep us all safe during the night and may Archangel Michael wrap us tightly in his wings. May we all wake feeling fresh and ready for a new day. I love you. Amen.

My body is so fully relaxed at this stage, so at peace with no stress or care in the world. It’s just me and the bed, ahhhhh, zen.

I dose off and soon I feel myself drifting into a light sleep, then a deeper sleep and no sooner after that, REM sleep hits.

I suddenly wake to what feels like someone has just woken me. I am slightly shaken but not afraid. Instead, I feel wonder and warmth. I look around the room and all is as it seems. I feel the need to pee, so I get out of bed to use the bathroom and then make my way back to sleep.

The bed is still lovely and warm. It doesn’t take me long to fall into a really deep sleep again. I know I am asleep but why does this feel so real? I can’t see her face but I can see the shape of her body. I can see her move through her polkadot dress. She walks towards me and looks at me but I still can’t see her face. The mind baffles.

I ask, who are you? And with such a delicate voice she says, “it’s me. Do you not recognize me? I have been with you since the very beginning, Charmaine.” Are you who I think you are? She murmurs, “yes it’s me.” I gasp for air. Suddenly, I feel her hand hold my hand and at that very moment, I feel the air fill my lungs. A sigh of joy.

Joy, because I have been yearning for this moment. She says, “I know you have and that is why I am here. This is our gift to you for successfully breaking generational curses by following our guidance. You did it! Your whole Spirit family is proud of you. My being here is your answered prayer and just our way of saying, well done and keep going! I must go now.”

I shout, no please stay, I have so much to say and ask. Please stay a little longer. “You know that is not how it works. Just know we are always here and everywhere you go. Watching over you, guiding you and protecting you. May this bring you the extra comfort and further clarity knowing that we are all connected. Keep shining the light within you.” As she completed this sentence, she walked away so gracefully and then disappeared into the darkness.

I suddenly wake again to what feels like someone or something has just woken me. I sat upright in my bed and asked, was that a dream, gosh it felt so real? This time I did not use the bathroom. I just wanted to quickly fall asleep again, so this dream could to continue but it didn’t.

A one off dream. My day one Spirit Guide came to see me. What a gift!
