When we set up Spritual And Psychic Development, it was not only to outline the many different ways of harnessing your psychic abilities and developing emotionally and spiritually, it was also to discuss our own experiences in ways which may help others.
Over the years there have been many comments here. Usually people like to share their experiences, or ask others for help on their spiritual journey. But sometimes we are drawn to particular comments. And so I think it is time to discuss a few on these pages.
The responses I personally was particularly drawn to were on the post How To See Your Spirit Guide In The Mirror, so I’ll talk about these today.
Several commentators to that article were already happy in the knowledge that they had a spirit guide. They needed no reassurance from looking in a mirror. The feeling that their guide was with them was all they needed. They had absolute trust.
There was also the question :
do you do it in the dark or when the lights are on?
Which could be taken many ways 
But as to seeing your spirit guide in the mirror, it makes no difference really - dark or light. Although you may be a little hampered if there is no light and you want to physically see (rather than psychically sense) your guide.
Some people have difficulty looking in a mirror in a dark room. It feels kind of ‘creepy’. To those people I say, you can see your spirit guide in bright daylight, so you really do not need to turn off the lights if it makes you feel better to be in full light.
However, although being afraid of the dark is almost an instinct in many of us, once you know your spirit guide is with you, it really will not matter be in the dark. You will feel secure in the knowledge that you are beig taken care of.
However, the response to the article which really drew me in was made by ‘anonymous’, who said:
when I look into the mirror, I didnt see my own face. I see a horrible broken one. I’ve experienced this like twice. can someone tell me what’s going on? I’m freaking out.
I felt I had to answer this resonse in more depth.
But before I begin, I must remind you I am not a qualified psychologist, nor a physician of any kind. My answer to the comment must therefore be taken as my personal feelings only (and, in this case, using a friend’s experience - she gives her consent).
My friend is spiritually aware. For some time, she has been happy in the knowledge that she has a spirit gude and he is caring for her. However, fairly recently ‘life’ got in the way and she sidelined spiritual development for a while. But one day she was casually looking in her mirror (not even looking for her spirit guide), when the face peering back at her appeared to be ‘broken’. This happened on a number of ocassions.
And yes - she did ‘freak out’ a bit…
So we discussed her experience to try to get to the bottom of this. I asked her the following questions:
- Is there any chance your mirror is warped in some way?
She answered ‘no’. My friend is an attractive woman. She usually enjoys the experience of looking in the mirror, particularly that particular mirror, as it ‘makes her figure look really good’ :) So no - the mirror wasn’t warped.
- Was she looking in the mirror at a particular time of day - when the sun was going down, for instance, or when a cloud passed overhead and overshadowed her view?
Sometimes, yes. But she had realised this could be the reason for the ‘broken face’ she saw. So she had looked in the mirror in bright sunlight, as sunshine makes her feel happy. But she got the same ‘broken’ effect.
And that was the key….
My friend, like many of us, feels happier when the sun is shining. Going for a walk in the sunshine and feeling the warmth on her face usually makes her feel relaxed and at one with herself. But recently even this hadn’t been having its full effect.
She was feeling ‘low’. Her self-esteem had hit rock bottom and nothing she was doing was making her feel well - in mind, body or soul.
These are difficult times for most of us. Many of us put spiritual and psychic development on the back boiler as we get on with trying to cope with the strains of ‘everyday life’. My friend had done just that. Problems in her life had taken over and she had lost her sense of self.
As we talked, my friend realised what had happened to her. And once she recognised the problem, she knew how to deal with it.
Despite the calls on her time, she made the time to meditate and get back in touch with her spirit guide and with her sense of who she was; as a person in this physical realm and as a spiritual being.
She got back in touch with her soul. And she realised that she needed to nurture the broken face she was seeing in the mirror, rather than reject it.
For my friend, nurturing the broken face was a spiritual task, helped by her spirit guide who helped her see the way forward.
And to her surprise, this was not just about developing spiritually, but about taking care of her physical being. After all, although (I believe) our soul can encompass many physical beings, there is no point in putting the body we have now ‘on hold’ and waiting for better luck next time around.
In order to nurture our physical being, we need to give it sustenance - physical, mental, and emotional, as well as spiritual.
This could be in very simple terms. Watching our diet, doing some excercise, taking breaks during our working day. Even a night out with friends can help to make us feel better on all levels.
As to problems we are facing in this physical realm - they won’t go away just because we neglect ourselves.
Whether you have a problem with money (who doesn’t right now?), or at work, or with a partner, you need to be physically, mentally and emotionally as strong as your physical being allows to cope with this.
That’s not saying that we have to be ‘the best of the best’ in order to get through difficult times. We also need to know that noone is perfect and that some of us may face very difficult problems in this physical life.
But we are all here for a purpose, whatever that may be, and we owe it to ourselves to take care of ourselves as well and as best we can.
And to do that, we can go inside ourselves and listen to what our being is telling us. In the quiet we will know. We don’t need to force this, or call upon a spirit guide we may not have seen yet to help us with our task.
Our spirit guides are there, helping us, whether we are able to acknowledge them or not.
When we are ready, we will be able to sense them in some way. All we need to know is that they are there and Trust in this.
This way, we will learn to help that ‘broken face’ we may see in the mirror. It is only broken in the sense that we are struggling right now.
Once we get in touch with ourselves again, we will realise that this wasn’t scary, but a sign we need to take care of ourselves more. That’s all
I hope my response here has helped some of the commentators who responded to the original post How To See Your Spirit Guide In The Mirror.
Coming to terms with who we are and how we can help ourselves is something we often reject. But it is very important to all of us, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and (yes) physically. This will helped our own spiritual healing and make us stronger at all levels.
