Just My Thoughts

Christina M. Meide

In September of this year, I came across  Rachel Keene's website and was intrigued by the fact that she could do Spirit Guide drawings. I decided to have her do a drawing for me before setting up our MP3 interview with her. I paid through Paypal and sent a photo of myself, then received an email from Rachel letting me know that I would have my drawing in 10 days or less. True to her word, my drawing came in the allotted 10 days and I came face to face, in a matter of speaking, with my main guide, Sakeina.

I'd like to introduce you to Sakeina. As I tuned into your picture, she came forward almost immediately - and so my job was easy! Sakeina is your main guide working with you at present, and always has been. I am also aware there have been 3 other guides (2 males and another female) who come and go at times when you need them, but Sakeina has been with you since birth. She is an ancient soul and has been here in many incarnations, but none in modern times (when I say modern times I mean she tells me she's been spirit side through choice for the past 749 years!) You have been here with her before many centuries ago. She is the closest person to you in your soul group. She is very protective, and keeps you from physical harm, especially in your dealings with the paranormal. Think of her as your gatekeeper or defender - she will always be there for you. Her energy is serenity itself, but whenever you are provoked by someone, you will feel her protecting you!

She is beautiful and I feel very honored to know that the two of us  made a pact sometime before my birth for her to help guide me through this earth plane this time around.

While I waited for my drawing, I awoke one morning with the idea to design and wood burn pendulum boards. There was no particular reason as I had never had luck using a pendulum, but the thought nagged at me. So, I began designing and burning. These boards can be found in our website Mall.

In a rare moment of down time, the Night Watchman and I took the girls and Jake (our adopted neighborhood son) to the Meskwaki Powwow. There were many beautiful handcrafted items for sale, but the only thing that caught my eye was a pendulum which is believed to be blue lace agate with what appears to me as an eye in its natural rock design. It was $6.00 and I just couldn't walk out of there without it. On the way back home, I came up with a board design especially for myself and proceeded to draw it and wood burn it.

After receiving my drawing of Sakeina, I felt the urge to sit down and try my specially designed board and hand picked pendulum. Imagine my amazement when it began to actually move with predetermined directions from me!!! It was slow at first and a long struggle to get messages, but I kept at it. I had read at one time that it can be difficult for our guides to match our energy vibration, but the more we practiced, the better it moved.

At first the messages only made bits of sense, but were always filled with words of encouragement and love. After four or five sessions, everything began coming through in clear sentences letter by letter. I was becoming familiar with Sakeina's pendulum movements as she was beginning to tap into my energy more easily.

I was curious about Sakeina and also curious if I had any other guides helping me along as well. Rachel had stated that she was aware of three others - two male and one female - so I asked Sakeina. She willingly and patiently gave me my guides, where they were from and what they helped me with from Spirit.

Sakeina originated from Egypt and is my main guide. Next was Tom from the U.S. and he helps me share Spirit with others. Then came Nisokva who is a male from Bulgaria and he helps me shape this website. Last, but not least, came Mother Pativa from the Ukraine who helps me with divination. She is the one who put the idea in my head to make the pendulum boards.

Needless to say, the Night Watchman could watch me use the pendulum, but had his doubts on whether I was moving it myself or not. We were in the process of finding out who his spirit guides were and what they helped him with from Spirit. With Sakeina's permission, I handed the board and pendulum over to the Night Watchman for him to try for himself.

It worked for him as well, but was slower as Sakeina had not had any practice merging with his energy.

However, we did get his guides as well as a message for him from Angie Christie's guide, Running Cloud. This message was "Believe" and then the word "fledgling". The Night Watchman was convinced as he was getting the words himself and knew that he was not moving the pendulum.

When Running Cloud spelled out "fledgling", the Night Watchman had no idea what that was. This surprised me as his vocabulary is larger than most, but he had never dealt with birds. I explained to him that a fledgling was a baby bird about ready to fly. We looked it up in the dictionary to determine if there was any other meaning and it also stated "an inexperienced person." The Night Watchman had a good laugh over this.

The following day, I emailed Angie to tell her what had happened. Angie's response surprised me. She stated that "though you would have no way of knowing this, fledgling is a term used in the Spiritualist Church over here when someone new gets up on the platform." Of course, Running Cloud would know this term as he accompanies Angie when she does her evenings of clairvoyance at the churches.

After that, just out of curiosity, I decided to see if I could find out who Angie's guides were. I only knew of three that Angie has told me about over the years. It turned out that she has eight guides and the three that I know of were part of the eight. Doing this also prompted the question of whether or not we could have more than one main guide defined as guides we've had since birth. The answer was yes, and Angie has two main guides.

The real clincher here was when I asked where Running Cloud originated from. I was told "Plains". This kind of threw Angie for a loop as she had always believed Running Cloud to be Lakota Sioux. It turns out that he was actually from the Blackfoot tribe. I searched the internet after Angie told me this and discovered that they were Plains people and thought to be magnificent buffalo hunters. Shortly after I had discovered this information, I received an email from Angie telling me that Running Cloud told her that he'd been killed by an arrow or a lance while fighting another tribe for the buffalo.

I really couldn't ask for much more proof than that, and knew that I was receiving correct information while scrying. At one point, in the middle of Sakeina giving me instruction, I was given a very clear message from Peter to Margaret. Margaret is Angie's good friend and her son, Peter, passed on at the age of 17.
