There are just as many different guides as there are different protégés, with different methods, preferences and strenghts. I know visualising a special place to meet up with guides is a method that works wonderfully well for some, but to be honest, I never had any success doing so up til now. It may be that visualising is not exactly my forte.

I do however have more success with connecting through feelings. I simply hold within feelings of gratefulness, joy and love that rise in me as I think of my guides, assuming that they always monitor my feelings and thoughts, that they listen and understand, that they are loving and there for me no matter what, even though I may not always be aware of their presence. Then I talk to them from within, send them thoughts and feelings. Sometimes I simply rest in these feelings, without any word.

At first, I had no real mean to tell whether they were really around or not, but I do have reasons to think that they were there nevertheless. And since like you, I had this genuine desire to get in touch with them, I think we worked together on opening channels of communication over time, during meditations… So maybe you could ask your guides to help you open the best suited channels for you to get in touch with them.

It may be visual, it may also be completely something else. For instance, when they want to let me know that they are around, I may start feeling a soft breeze, sense a scent, or hear a brief high pitched `signal` in one ear. Sometimes these seem to be in reaction to a thought or feeling I had while `talking` to the presence I felt around… It is really like a form of communication, although it is not at all visual, and it is certainly not as if we were chatting around a cup of tea, but still…

That said, as CFT explained, many guides or higher aspects choose to work through subtle means… It may seem less exciting than a chat in the astral around a cup of coffee, but in fact subtle hints aren’t boring at all when we start paying attention to them!

And although it is likely to be very different from one person to another, your guides may already be showing up in your dreams. They may be hard to recognize as theymay not introduce themselves as your guides, but some of the persons you meet in dreams, who seem familiar but are unknown to you in the physical, may be guides indeed (or higher aspects). They may also take on the appearance of someone else you know in the physical, based on how you sense they are. For instance, a guide or a higher aspect whom you sense as a teacher may appear as an old teacher you liked back in school…

You may also explore all kinds of other means such as the tarot, the pendulum, the ouija board and so on, if these appeal to you…

One last thing :
``Is it that I have done something to tick them off??``
I doubt that
