Have you ever felt like someone was staring at you—and when you looked up, you locked eyes with them?
If so, you might already be more in tune with subtle energy than you think. You could even have the natural ability to communicate with the spirit world.
The interesting thing is that most people don’t realize they already have this ability. Instead, they brush off these magical moments or try to explain them away.
But the truth is, you don’t need divination tools like Ouija boards, pendulums, or tarot cards to communicate with spirit. What you do need is presence. By grounding your energy, calming your breath, tuning into your body, and raising your awareness, you can start building a strong, natural connection with both yourself and the spirit realm.
How to connect with the spirit world?
There are 7 steps which you need to safely and quickly talk to the spirit world. Each step focuses on elevating your frequency so that you can communicate with spirit.
The seven steps to communicate with spirit are as follows:
Step 1: Relax and ground your energy
Acknowledge our current state of mind brings a higher level of awareness. Find a quiet spot where you can relax without interruptions and close your eyes. You can sit or lay down for this exercise. Simple observe your thoughts, the frequency, the type of thoughts, and allow them to flow. Do not try to suppress them or change them in any way.Do this for a couple of minutes before you move on to the next step.
Step 2. Focus on relaxing the breath
Quietening the mind is critical in reaching higher states of awareness.Once we have checked in with our thought, we want to quieten the mind by focusing our attention on the breath.Begin by observing the breath for a couple of minutes and allowing it to flow naturally. Notice how you breathe. Is the breath relaxed, steady, fast, deep, or shallow?
Then begin the following breath exercise:
Take a couple of deep breaths in, and on the out-breath, make any sound that feels good to you. Allow the tension to leave your body.
Continue breathing through your nose and slightly contract the back of the throat so that there is a light sound and restriction of air.
This type of breath is called Ujjayi Pranayama and is a quick way to relax the body and calm the mind.
Keep taking slow deep breaths and allow the chest and belly to naturally expand on the in-breath and contract on the out-breath.
Repeat as many times as necessary, until you feel relaxed or calm.
Then allow your natural breath to resume.
Step 3. Feel into your body
Connecting to the feeling we trigger our clairsentience (sense of feeling). The next step involves connecting to our feelings and the energy within our bodies. Whilst allowing our breath to flow, we begin scanning our body, notice any signs of tension, and feel into these areas. You may feel a throbbing sensation, tingling or changes in temperature. Simply observe these and allow them to be. Then slowly expand your awareness to your whole body, from your feet to your head. Fully immerse yourself in the experience and allow this healing energy to replenish your body.
Step 4. Expand our energy field
Allows your soul to perceive beyond the limits of the body. Whilst you bathe in this delightful energy, allow it to expand beyond the confines of your physical body. Send this energy out to either side of you and feel your expansive nature. Remain there as long as you wish.
Step 5. Connect to universal consciousness
Raise your awareness to the spirit world and allow yourself to blend with spirit .Whilst feeling into your essence, allow your energy to flow upwards, a breath at a time. See yourself move out of the crown of your head and shoot upwards towards heaven or the universe. Envelop yourself in the pure white light. Allow the light to replenish your body and become one.
Step 6. Become one with the spirit realm
Allow the spirit realm to communicate with us. Whilst remaining in this blissful state, enjoy and observe consciousness at play. Allow this experience to naturally unfold.
Many people see different colours, images, hear sounds or feel the presence of multiple beings.
See if you can sense any of the following things:
- Can you sense a presence?
- If so, is it a male or female figure?
- What were they like as a person?
- Does it feel like any member of your family?
Step 7. Return to the body
Bring your awareness back into the body. When you ready shift your attention inwards, back into your body. Then with each breath start moving back down towards your head. Enter through the crown of your head and become aware of your body. Your heart, your belly, your toes and your hands.When you are ready open your eyes.
Remember that although the steps to communicating with the spirit realm are easy, not everyone can instantly reach these altered states of awareness. Although some people can connect to a spirit communicator on their first try, this is not always the case.
By repeating the exercise, you are raising your vibration connecting to the spirit realm.
Over time you will notice improvements in your mediumship and will receive more impressions through the 8 clair senses.

FAQ about Communicating with Spirits
Can anyone learn to talk to spirits?
Yes, anyone can connect with the spirit world. Some people may be more intuitive to start with, but everyone can develop their psychic senses with practice and patience.
Is it safe to talk to spirits?
Yes, it is safe to communicate with loved ones in the afterlife. You’re not opening yourself up to anything scary. You’re simply tuning into loving, peaceful energy that’s already around you.
Do I need things like Ouija boards or tarot cards?
Not at all. You don’t need any special tools. All you really need is you—your energy, your breath, your focus. The 7 steps in this guide are more than enough to start building a real connection with the spirit world.
Why do I need to raise my vibration?
Think of spirit as being on a higher frequency, like a radio station. To “tune in,” you need to lift your own energy. That’s what the breathwork and grounding are for—to help you feel lighter, calmer, and more open to spirit.
How long does it take to connect with spirit?
It’s different for everyone. Some people feel a connection right away, while others need a bit more time and practice. Don’t rush it—just keep showing up and the connection will grow naturally.
How will I know if a spirit is near?
You might feel like someone’s with you, or notice tingles, warmth, or pressure in your body. Some people see colors or images, hear soft sounds, or just know something is there. Everyone experiences it in their own way.
What if nothing happens when I try?
That’s okay! It doesn’t mean you’re doing anything wrong. You may just need to raise your conscious awareness—and practicing the Sitting in the Power Meditation is a great way to do that.
the 7 Steps to Communicate with Spirits
As you’ve seen, talking to spirits doesn’t have to be complicated or mysterious. With these 7 simple steps, you can start building a stronger connection with your own energy and the spirit world around you.
Spirit communication isn’t spooky or weird—it’s actually the opposite. It’s all about love, connection, compassion, and becoming more aware. When we tune into the spirit world, we’re stepping into a peaceful, calming space where we can feel closer to ourselves and those who’ve passed on.
We’re all made of energy—just like our loved ones in spirit. The only difference is that they no longer have a physical body. When we connect with them, we’re not just reaching out to “the other side”—we’re connecting to our higher self and remembering that we’re all part of something bigger.
This kind of connection is special. It helps us feel the presence of spirit, understand who they were, what they loved, and what messages they might want to share. It’s a beautiful reminder that love doesn’t end—and we’re never truly alone.
