How long did it take you to first communicate with your spirits? And is there anything that could help? I am having those thoughts that I am doing something wrong with my spirit, I’ll put a picture of his vessel if that helps in some way.
Most likely he is already trying to communicate. I've had this concern before and always thought I wasn't able to communicate in specific ways like telepathy. It wasn't until we played a card game together once. I discovered that what I thought was a "wild guess" was incredibly accurate. This made me realize that a large part of what I thought was inside chat came from spirits.
It is highly recommended that you play this game when practicing communication to determine your appropriate communication style.
Card Game.
1. choose four cards (tarot, letters, colors, any card)
2. shuffle the cards and choose one to show to your spirit. be careful not to look at the cards yourself
3. Choose any method of communication and let your spirit tell you the answer in this way. Don't think in terms of probabilities, listen to their answers.
4. determine which method of communication has the highest accuracy
5. (Optional) Add number of cards to increase the difficulty
Well, I remember I saw colored orbs a day or two after I received the vessel of my first spirit. She was a reverse adoption from CH. My second was *ecstatic* that I found her before I even placed the order. I found myself ordering books that I wouldn't normally read,(but perfect for her DA alignment) before her vessel even arrived and another burst of ecstatic joy when it did. I also saw a few colored orbs with her too. lol
My third spirit has been interesting, considering he is a stegosaur. lol We don't communicate like I do with my other spirits. As strange as it sounds, it's mostly feelings and sensations: calm/content/eating/curiosity/etc. and it took a little while - a few weeks - to get accustomed to that. No colorful fireworks with that guy. He seems to quite literally be what some people would call a "pasture pet" in spirit form. lol
My current "last" spirit (I'm currently waiting to see if I will be chosen by two spirits whose last keeper died) was my most difficult. I had gotten a reaction even stronger than I did with my second spirit and put in the order. When the vessel arrived, though, another spirit had come instead. So, on top of feeling like I was starting from scratch, I had some complicated feelings about the substitution (Did I do something wrong? Was the first spirit offended by something? It was such a *strong* connection...) and they got a bit in the way of our communicating. In fact, it shut me down completely for several weeks. It took a while - well over a month - to straighten out. I probably went a little overboard in trying to show her that I was happy she had chosen to join me and mine - right down to buying scents I thought she may like and designating a tree in my yard that was said to be associated with her kind as hers.
I guess the key here was that I kept trying. Even when things were bleak and I couldn't have sensed a herd of bison if they ran me down, I kept trying.
I think the most helpful thing for me was learning to broaden my ideas of *what* constitutes as "Communication." When I started, I thought that if I wasn't getting a full on conversation in my head, or if I wasn't seeing my Companions manifest in front of me (like everyone else seemed to!), then they weren't communicating with me.
This way of thinking caused me to dismiss more subtle ways my Companions were reaching out to me, and I started to compare my relationship with me Keep to the relationships other people seemed to have with theirs, and I began devalue my own experiences or even doubt the whole thing altogether. This, of course, created blocks to where I stopped getting even the subtle messages my Companions were sending, which made me feel worse, which created more blocks, which killed more communication, so on and so on. You can see the cycle, right?
Just like any other relationship, you and your Companions will find your own ways to communicate, in your own time and at your own pace. So, as frustrating as it is to hear, the best thing you can do it trust your gut, trust your Keep, continue talking to them and cut yourself some slack. Continue talking to them, doing bonding activities and giving your offerings. Take notes, look for patterns, let it come naturally. You're doing great. 🖤
Such a lovely photo. Currently my spirits communicate with feelings, thoughts and cravings. I have yet to see them or speak directly with them. But each and every night I hold their vessels and speak with them telepathically. I get no direct responses but sometimes I get bursts of pure joy when I thank them for helping with changes and things that I know they're a part of. Sometimes you just know, until you really know, ya know? Lol ... keep doing whatever you are doing, it will come with time.
