Okay, I keep saying that I want to be able to be in contact the with spirits and spirit guides, but when I actually come close to it, I am saying out loud not n0w because I am so freaked!!!

This past Wednesday, early like 1:45 am, I awakened, but not opening my eyes and felt someone touching my hair/head and it sent chivers down to my toes.  My first thought was what the heck and then I said to myself not now, I am too tired and need sleep, please don't bother me anymore and then looked at the clock.  I have also felt someone touching my hand right before I was drifting off to sleep.

So is this my imagination at work or is this a time that they come around?

How can you become brave enough to figure this out or open your mind even more?

I think that "they" can come around at any time, but that you are more open to being aware of their presence in the middle of the night when you're tired, or have been drifting in and out of sleep, or have had your mind opened a little bit more during dreaming.  That's been my experience, anyway (although I can fell the touches during the day as well).  If you're being touched by spirits, in all likelihood they're not there in any way to hurt or frighten you (when they are, it's a different sensation entirely!).  You said that you wanted the contact; they're just letting you know that you now have it.  Consider yourself blessed.  (However--something I have to work on, too--there are protection rituals/exercises that you can and should do too.  Most spirits are benign presences, but every so often you run into a trouble-maker--just like with the living!)

Take charge!  Can't say it strong enough - Take Charge!  This is about you, not about spirit.  If spirit entities coming to you in the night are your spirit guides, they can be told to come when you are awake.  Then, you have to make a time that is comfortable for you.  It is like making an appointment - same time, same place to go into meditation and meet/greet your guides.

By taking charge you can use the techniques that connect you with your own loving spirit guides in attunement and leave the others alone.  You will form a real partnership that allows for trust and confidence in your guidance.  It is up to you to make this happen, so that the fears can be released.

Start with tools of your own consciousness (visualization, meditation, affirmation) to strengthen and empower yourself.  Then as you do the medication techniques you can feel empowered and in charge of your own mediumship.  It is important to be your own boss in this talent.

Spirit is giving you good advice, you need to let them know that you have a life here and they and you need to work time into your schedule for spiritual things and that they can't interfere with your sleep or other aspects of your life and stick to it. If you have to be forceful in telling them, like you would a wayward child. They are here to help you be all that you can, and you have to chose to go down that road, if you aren't ready for it let them know that you can't handle the touching and to please knock it off til you can and suggest something that you think you are ready for like seeing them in dreams, or hear them say something... But it has to be right for you. Take it at your pace and like spirit said take charge. it's your life, you wouldn't let anyone here get away with it. Best of luck to you!!

Wow,I need to read more and learn a whole lot more.  I guess in some ways, it would have been easier to have had this happen as a child - lol then I could just write it off as a bad dream.  I started saying a prayer over my boys regarding surrounding them with White Light, I guess I should say it for myself too   .  

Do you think this could be the start of something, since I occassionally hear a voice calling for Mommy and now the touches?

Spiritalk, you are so wise - Have you ever thought about writing a book?
