I'm just really confused about how to find them. I mean, for years I've known that there's been a prescence by me, watching me (yes sounds like a horror flick but bear with me, it just feels like someone's with me when I'm alone). But I've never figured out how to contact them or anything. I can't AP, I gave up that a long time ago, honestly I'm a little bit scared of such a prospect. I was wondering if there were any strategies one could use to find him/her/it. I've tried with lucid dreaming, and for some reason my dreams have only once or twice involved people I don't actually know. So if there are any other ways I could try, or if somebody could ask their spirit guide (though you'd probably get something like "sleepyhollow's guide thinks she's overeager"), then I would be very grateful. Thanks!

There are a few ways, probably the most efficient and direct of which is deep meditation.
You would want to make use of your best trance induction method, and do it reasonably well. Go deep.
Then, (mentally) state that you would like to contact your spirit guide. If it helps, try and create a mindscape to hold a conversation within.

Just what I would've said, Chain. In addition, when I was having trouble getting to deep meditation not too long ago, I created a hypnosis CD to hypnotize me into the deep trance levels of the mind. If you like, I could post a script here for you to record yourself speaking, then listen to.

Thanks very much, Master Orion, but somehow I don't think my voice is very calming... . I will try that, although even light meditation poses a bit of a problem for me. I can't seem to get my head to shut up, or rather, stay focused.

Ah, yes I as well have that problem. I find that if you just let your mind drift off until it's content, you can generally get a reasonably good trance.

Sleepy, I'm not clear on whether you want me to post the script or not. Would you like me to?

Oh, sorry. Well, I'm actually making some progress trance-wise as opf late, but I believe Inari would still like you to post it. Sorry again about the unclear response.

Okay. First off, I apologize that it has taken me such a long time to get around to posting this. To use this script, record yourself speaking it in a slow, calming, almost drowsy voice, as if you are gently trying to wake up as a child, or are really, really bored. If you don't like the sound of your voice on recordings (I know I don't), you can try asking a friend or relative to record it for you.
At times when I write [Pause] in the script, just leave a few moments before reading onward. The other bracketed commands throughout are pretty straightforward. And now, without further ado, the script:
Now for the script:
Take a deep breath. [Pause.] Let it out slowly, calmly. Relax. [Pause.] Take another deep breath. [Pause.] As you release it, feel all the tired, used, stale energy leaving your body. As you inhale, feel new, clean, bright energy coming into your body. Filling your body. Filling your mind. [Pause.] Take another deep breath. [Pause.] Let itout slowly, feeling all of your worries, tensions, and anxietes flowing out of your body. [Pause.] Relax.
[Fifteen seconds of silence.
Okay, I want you to feel your body begin to relax. Start with your feet. Feel each one of your toes begin to relax. [Pause.] Feel the relaxation gradually drift through your feet, relaxing your feet.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Allow your calves to relax. Feel all the tension drain from your calves. Relax them completely.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Feel your thighs and your buttocks relax. Let them go loose and limp. Let all of the tension slip away. Relax them utterly.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
The entire lower half of your body is now completely comfortable and tension-free. Warm. Light. Relaxed. [Pause.] Now begin to relax your stomach. Feel the tension drain away from your stomach muscles. [Pause.] Allow your chest muscles to relax. [Pause.] Feel a warm sense of relaxation rise up from your back and spread past your shoulder blades and up through your shoulders. Let your shoulders go completely loose and limp.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Allow that warm feeling of relaxation to drain down into your upper arms. Down through your lower arms. [Pause.] Feel your hands and fingers relax and go limp. Let the tension drain away from them completely.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Now feel the relaxation spread out across your face. Let your facial muscles go completely relaxed and limp. [Pause.] Feel the tension filter out of your head and neck muscles. Your head and neck muscles are now completely relaxed.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Your entire body is now utterly relaxed and at ease. You feel warm and drowsy. Your limbs feel very heavy and tired. You are very sleepy, so sleepy.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Imagine a staircase going down somewhere just in front of you. [Pause.] Imagine that you are walking now, walking down the stairs, as I count backward from ten to one.
Ten. Walking down, down, down, down. Nine. Walking down, down, down, down. Eight. Walking down, down, down, down. Seven. Walking down, down, down, down. Six. Walking down, down, down, down. Five. Walking down, down, down, down. Four. Walking down, down, down, down. Three. Walking down, down, down, down. Two. Walking down, down, down, down. One. Walking down, down, down, down.
[Fifteen seconds of silence.]
You are now very relaxed. Very sleepy. Very deep. In a few seconds you are going to go even deeper. [Pause.] Continue to walk down the stairs as I count backward once more from ten to one.
Ten. Walking down, down, down, down. Nine. Walking down, down, down, down. Eight. Walking down, down, down, down. Seven. Walking down, down, down, down. Six. Walking down, down, down, down. Five. Walking down, down, down, down. Four. Walking down, down, down, down. Three. Walking down, down, down, down. Two. Walking down, down, down, down. One. Walking down, down, down, down.
[Fifteen seconds of silence.]
You are now very, very sleepy and relaxed. Perfectly safe. Perfectly at ease. Very, very deep. [Pause.] You feel a bright warm light filtering down from above and filling every part of your body and mind. This light protects every part of your being. You are perfectly safe, perfectly at ease.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
And as this light flows through you, you can feel yourself becoming lighter and lighter. You feel as light as a cloud, as a feather. [Pause.] You feel so light that you could just float away. Just float away, up into the sky. Up, up. Further and further.
[Ten seconds of silence.]
Now you begin to descend again, and all around you, you see your mindscape. This is a place of total peace, of relaxation. You will only ever feel positive emotions while you reside here. [Pause.] Anything that you could ever want will manifest here. You can have ... do ... experience, anything. You may stay here for as long as you want. And as soon as you feel ready to leave, you will find that you are able to return to the world outside.
Feel free to alter this script as you like, or add to it as necessary. Enjoy it!

No problem! I was planning to try it on the weekend, if I can find my mic.
