What you will need for this exercise:

• Your mind in a relaxed state
• A quiet environment

Before we try to communicate with spirits, we must shield our energy and call in our guides.

1. Using your mind, call out to your loved one using the person's birth name and birth date.
2. If you do not have this specific information, you may also think of the person.
3. Fill your head with warm memories about the person and replay them over and over in your mind.
4. Once again, call out to the person with your mind by thinking of their name three times.
5. Ask the person to visit you in a dream.
6. Write down the initial date that you asked for your dream visit. You can send your loved one a mental request each night before bed.
7. When you get your dream visit, write down the date.
8. Take note of how long it took for the person to send you the dream visit.

Once you receive your dream visit (it could take a day or several days), send your loved one loving thoughts of gratitude. Leave the door of communication open for them to visit in a dream state at any time. Thank God for the divine spiritual connection you have with your loved ones.
