    "This excercise activates the upper four chakra centers of the body. It increases the flow of energy to them and it enables greater use of our intuitive and higher-self capabilities. This in turn facilitates recognition of our spirits guides. Take your time with this exercise. Pay attention to the sequence. This is what helps induce the altered state which enables us to see spirits more easily.

1. Bring your attention, your conciousness, to the area between the eyes. This is the area called the third eye. It is the seat of our intuitive perceptions.

2. Envision this area as glowing in brilliant, crystalline light. As you inhale, see and feel this area warm and brighten with this light. Hold for a count of 10.
Exhale slowly, and repeat 3 times.

3. Now, as you inhale, draw the light backward, from the brow area, through the head, to a point near the crown of the head. This is the area of the crown chakra. This chakra awakens higher self-conciousness and union with the spirit realm.

4. As you visualize this ball of light moving backwards, also imagine a bridge of light being formed between the brow and the crown chakra. See and feel it as warm and shimmering with energy.

5. Hold the focus of light in the crown area for a count of 10, and exhale slowly.
Repeat 3 times. Feel the warmth and energy filling your entire head.

6. Now bring your conciousness, in the form of that brilliant light, down to the throat area. See it as a rainbow bridge extending from the crown center to the throat. Here is another major chakra, or energy center. This center is aligned with our creative will and the ability for clairaudience--hearing spirits.

7. As you inhale, feel this center come alive with crystalline brilliance. Hold the breath for a count of 10, as with the other 2 centers, and then exhale slowly. Repeat 3 times. Imagine and feel the energy and light intensify with each breath.

8. Now draw the conciousness and energy down from the throat to the area of the heart. See this as yet another extension of the rainbow bridge. Feel the area of the heart warm and begin to radiate with crystalline energy,

9. Inhale, holding for a count of 10. As you hold your breath, feel the energy intensify, and as you exhale see and feel the link that has been formed with the other three energy centers. Exhale slowly and repeat at least 3 times. You have now activated the higher centers of perceptions.

     This exercise is a guidline. Adapt it to yourself. Remember that it is breathing and visualization that stimulates the higher faculties associated with these centers into activity.
