Can you see your Guardian Spirit?

Please do NOT copy/distribute my works without permission. Thank you.

Close your eyes.

Imagine the staircase in your house; walk up and down those stairs ten times, slowly.

At your tenth time*1, turn around to look behind you.  There you will see your guardian spirit.*2

If your psychic power is too weak you probably won't be able to see it.
But if your guardian spirit has strong power you might still be able to see it even if your own power is weak.
If your guardian spirit's power is too strong, however, all you might see is just darkness.


-----------------------------------------------------
*1 I think it means when you've finished climbing the stairs for the tenth time and you are at the top of the stairs. It's not very clear even in the original text. (Edit: someone reported to me that she saw it after she climbed down the stairs for the tenth time and was at the bottom of the stairs.)
*2 The Guardian Spirit -  Shugo-rei (守護霊) in Japanese; sort of an eastern counterpart of the Guardian Angel.

why it is a darkness you see when the guardian spirit power is too strong? ain't those thing a good entities? i prefer that it should be a blinding light you see...

Hi Saya, how are you? Still in Taiwan? Finally catching up with the stories on your blog again ^^

I kinda want to try it since I could see the staircase from my room--and my mom said that our family has been protected by some kind of guardian. But still, it gives me the eerie feels. So maybe next time XP

Doesn't anyone sometimes get some whisper or feeling that he/she should not go there/stop/don't do that? I got some of those sometimes. People say gut feeling. I remember when I was a kid, I was walking home and some how I felt that I should stop. So, I did. Then, the next second, a metal object felt just couple of feet in front of me. I call it instinct or my radar.

Hope it dosn't have a secret like the ability to see ghost ritual.

I would like to try this. But for some reason when I close my eyes I can't imagine anything.

But when my eyes is open like this I can imagine the stair on my old house perfectly.

My current house didn't have stair though. Can I use other stair then? Because my old house have been remodeling by whoever live there I'm sure. It's almost 8 years since we sold it...

This is my first time commenting. I'm sorry for my poor grammar m(_ _)m

Dear Saya-san, this is an interesting ritual.
I tried after reading this post, but found that imagining doing stuff is not as easy as I thought. I imagined the staircase at my childhood home. I kept getting distracted by other items/rooms near the staircase, and my speed of going up and down was not consistent.
Predictably, I failed. But maybe I will try again later tonight when I'm more relaxed.
Wonder if anybody got positive result from this ritual.

i see two things...
one look like an old man
the other look like tiger but it's more like barong (kind of balinese tiger mask)

btw my mom tell me that our grand grand grand graaaaaaand papa have some contract with spirits to guard our family for a few generation.

could it be that one of them is a spirit who made contract with my ancestor (too lazy to write it again)? or just happen to pass by?

My friend has countless encounter with spirits and one of them was extremely cheeky and very fond of teasing people.When she was at work ( she has to work very late ) and often received phone calls but of course no one answers.There was one time when she was in the toilet and she kept hearing s.o singing some sort of tradition folk songs, an old one that elder usually listens to - she was very annoyed since she heard it so many times already that she said " i'm trying to take a dump here. can you keep the f* down ? '' and it works hahaha. I know it's not really relevant but yeah xD

What do you do if you do not have stairs in your current home?

Also you imagine yourself walking up and down the stairs, not physically going up and down, correct Saya-San?

Reading PJ's and Anonymous's posts, I'm not sure whether to be envious or glad that my ritual did not work :|
But I really like the idea of a Guardian Spirit. It's a good feeling to know that we are being watched over and protected.
Fatalystic said…
I don't have stairs in my home. >.<

I find that I'm terrible at imagining stuff. I've tried doing something like the "can you see ghosts" ritual (yeah, the fake and potentially dangerous thing), but the image of the house fades after I take a few steps or so.
FA19Hon said…
The thing about these rituals (Same as the one with the ability to see ghosts one), is that since we know what we *may* see, our mind is preconditioned (If that's a word, or is it predisposed?) to see something. That being said, what I saw looked like my mother's description of my grandfather.
blackrealm said…
If dangerous see it? or its ok because its our guardian spirit?
inevitably clumsy said…
I'd try this, but I'm really graceless (clumsy) and I'm bound to fall off the stairs if I try that ten times.

If I do have a guardian, they would probably facepalm at what I'm doing lol
PJ said…
@nunu

it's something that you should not be envious about.
but if you do have sixth sense, just be thankful for whatever is it :))
Sadae said…
From the perspective of western magic, I advice you trust your intuition. If the figure you see "feels" wrong, it is. If it says things that sound too good to be true, they are. Remember: they can only harm you if you let them! True guardians will be honest and will never try to manipulate you.
nunu said…
Haa.. noted, @PJ :)
sardine god said…
This is pretty and I'd love to try it, but yesterday before I wanted to try it I counted my stairs first so I can have a clear image. My stairs have 13 steps. It's nothing except if you're an overly superstitious person but I might give it a try soon. :D Thank you Saya for the recent updates!
noino said…
I tried but I'm not sure if it worked right because I would loose track of the times i used the stairs both times part way through and though my stairwell has 12 steps (on the main part) I would always reach the top or bottom around 8.
I did turn and "see" something but I can't be sure.

The scariest part is that when i tried a second time at one point, I'm not sure if it was on the tenth or i had gone over, but on my way down something felt really "elastic" like i was being pulled by something and everything around me was black and dark and I felt really uncomfortable like something was severely wrong so I stopped and turned and looked up the stairs and nothing was there. WHen I opened my eyes i felt really off, empty sort of, I feel better now and i'm going to say a prayer but it was concerning.

@the anon who said they saw a woman with long hair in a white dress and a bloody face

I did this on my sister and she said during the 7th~8th time she went up she saw a woman with long hair wearing a dress (but she couldn't make out the face) and at some point she saw her in the living room, but at the 10th time she was at the top again.

My sister asked me if she was sure it was supposed to be a guardian spirit because she said when she saw her she felt scared like she needed to run down the stairs.

I did the same thing but around the 7th~8th time all i could see was a flash of bright light XD and it was hard for me to imagine going up stairs LOL maybe i'll try later again (~-u-)~
CRRobbins said…
I just tried this out.

It was very difficult to create a mental image of the staircase.

I used the stairs at my parents home in which I was raised. It is daytime and I went to a quieter spot here at work to attempt it on my break.

On my 2nd or 3rd time going up/down the stairs I started seeing a woman in white holding her own head, eyes wide open and bloody with her mouth agape. I can say for sure that my imagination was getting in the way, because I was not seeing her anywhere in relation to the location, just the flash of the imagery in place of the stairs. On the 4th or 5th time on the stairs she regained her head and upon closer inspection was mother, as she appears in pictures fromt he 80's. At about the 8th time up/down I looked through the railing on my left and saw what I would have to say was most likely a werewolf. This time it was actually in the location, but I still chalk it up to imagination, it wasn't there on the last 2 times.

I think this is best tried in a quiet location not long after you have actually seen and perhaps used the staircase you are going to envision. It might also be good to clear your mind for some time prior to trying it so that random things don't get in the way.

I may just have trouble concentrating my thoughts though. I will give it another try using the conditions above and see if my results are better.

Guardian Spirit musn't be a good spirit, doesn't it?

I tried this--and I see a headless man that brought his head.
sardine god said…
I'm reeeally sorry for posting twice but, I just read the comments above. I still haven't tried it, but judging from other people's experiences, I think we should meditate or empty our minds before trying anything. Sometimes what comes out is what we wanted/expected to come out. Well, that's just my opinion.

Still, I'm still hesitating to try this lol :>
~桔子~ said…
Thanks for the interesting post, Saya san :)

I would really like to try this but I live in a multi-storey apartment and I don't have "my own" staircase. Can I imagine walking down the multi-storey staircase? Wonder if it would work this way.
JammyWhoo said…
Eh... I dont have a staircase in my house :-/
knightmare said…
I didn't need to do it ten times. I was on my fourth time "going up" the stairs when I saw my guardian. IDK if there's something up with this ritual thing or he just doesn't want me to look like an idiot when I can just call on him to make his presence known. Oh well :)
Anonymous said…
Are You sure if that's your guardian spirit? Or just something which attracted to you and following you.... Well, just saying
knightmare said…
@Anon from 28 April 2014 14:38

yep, I'm sure it's my guardian spirit. I know what he looks like, and even if I don't see him, I can identify his presence if he's nearby.
potato girl said…
i tried this and saw a bland dark figure of a man. but i wonder why he's standing beside me. is it because i ended up down on the stairs? D:

and the figure that appeared here has also been creeping me out ever since i was a kid. it's like following me. D:
Vya Ansyah said…
Well i tried

I saw a girl that realllyyy looks like me. She smiled and she looks very kind. If its rly my guardian, i'll be very happy :D
Anonymous said…
Ano..... Saya-san.... i wanna ask, are we suppose to do that at night time or daytime??? i'm just asking......
Anonymous said…

Unknown said…
I don't really know what's so special about stairs..
But the first time I see my Guardian Spirit was on a rainy day, at night, while I felt tired and lonely and crushed.. When I ascend the stair, I see a girl at the top and she smiled warmly at me
Adeleine said…
D: Why is my guardian a dark shadowy figure and I landed at the bottom too. D: Is this a bad omen?

I tried it just now.

I closed my eyes and focused on myself climbing the stairs of our house 10 times. On my 8th time I started to feel my head vibrating and then I had goosebumps all over my body. On my 10 time I was on top of the stairs and I saw nothing but darkness but I was still feeling vibration and goosebumps. When I descended I was sort of blinded by a flash of white light and I saw eyes. I immediately opened my own and that was it. It felt amazing!
Unknown said…
i tried this. Because i moved away into a new house which ain't stairway, so i try myself to imagine our old house. And i have some of "not good" thing there, so when i imagined myself to climb for the 3th times, there were a woman who usually appears whenever i have a thought about "ghost" or "spirit creatures" because i used to see her,so i ignored her till i climbed for 8th times, I DID SEE IT! Like a big (not fat, but tall and big) guy wears surplice all black, can't saw his face, but he really stands next to her.
darkcloner said…
So i tried this at night, it was quiet hard to imagine a stair and walk up and down but i did it until 10 times anyway and then i look up behind, there stand a figure like a little girl with black aura surrounding her. Then i tried imagine it again on 2nd try, when it was around 4th when i was going down, i saw her again, i open my eyes and decided to try again, not for long when i was climb up for 2nd, i saw her for the 3rd time
I really am not sure if she is my guardian spirit or anything, i guess my mind is just playing tricks on me lol
B. said…
I have been well aware of my guardian spirit for about five years now- from his appearance to some details from his past life, even, that he has revealed to me over time. He is so evident that I've had multiple people encounter him in dreams or mention him and it's to the point that if someone claims to have any degree of psychic ability, I ask them to describe him (For those curious, he is a rather handsome man of smallish-average build in his thirties, with a darker complexion, shoulder-length thick black hair, well-kept facial hair, wears small gold hoop earrings, and has a tendency to wear loose-fitting shirts and embroidered vests in rich colors) . That's how I know if they're legitimate.
Sure enough, when I did this ritual, I looked back and he was just standing there, only visible from the waist up with darkness all behind him and beneath him, with a mildly amused, calm expression that just read, 'Who else did you expect?'

It was strangely reassuring, as always, to remember that he is there.

Unknown said…
Been a while since I read this post, roughly 3 years ago, and I've tried it around that time. I guess it's time to share my own experience.

Well, I tried it by envisioning my old house, since my current house doesn't have a stair. Walked up and down the stairs, and I think it's on my 8th or 9th cycle that I saw a tall man. I'm 187 cm tall myself, and this guy lumbers over me, probably around 220 cm or so. He wore a black long coat with a plague doctor mask and some kind of top hat. All in all, pretty interesting. I'm 1/3 European, so maybe my ancestors were plague doctors, I dunno.
Very interesting! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! :)
