I think maybe start with a journal as to what got you interested in spirit keeping. Another idea is to begin meditating, or sitting quietly if you don't meditate, which works well for psychic development and bonding with your friend. Establishing a daily quiet time helps a lot and I found that spirit keeping is a life style change.

There are spirits and living entities who can help. I also suggest a spirit, or living entity, for protection. I'm not really familiar with the CH encyclopedia but I'm sure there's a spirit who can help with development and give you protection.

Good luck with whatever you decide.


Life is more amazing when enriched with spirits. <3

Hello.

This article is a very good place to start. Especially the bit that talks about how we don't need to be psychic to be a spirit keeper.

One standard thing is to spend quiet time closely together with a new bound spirit companion , say 5-15 minutes daily, for the first 30 days. And to invite them at the start of each day to help you with your day.

Both things help with forming the bond. (Later on you can read up on goal setting and tasking.)

Hello and welcome to CH! I’m also one of those that is not very sensitive and in tuned psychically. Others had given some great advice. My daily routine is talking to my spirit family every chance I get, it can be as simple as saying good morning/night or telling them what I’m doing or feeling at the moment. It is like I’m just talking to myself but with full knowledge that my spirit family is there and listen. If I’m very presence, like during meditation, and very open to communication, sometimes I can hear their voices, but this is rare.

I'll second what everyone else has said: Check the encyclopedia. Check the forum.

Don't be afraid to ask questions- especially if you think that they are silly and/or stupid. You have to start somewhere and we've all been where you are.

Just remember that if you decide to bring home a spirit friend that it is not "only a spirit" . That is the equivalent of saying that your beloved and cherished pet is "just an animal" or your parents are "people you know".

Spirits come to us of their own free will to be our friends and companions. Treat them as such. Some will be those friends whom you feel like you've known forever starting from day 1. Others will take some time. Like any great friendship, spirit keeping requires some level of commitment and effort.

Spirits are unique individuals. Like people they have their own likes, dislikes and personalities. You can have multiples of one type of spirit (2 unicorns for example) and they will be completely different. From looks, to personalities, to interests.

Never doubt that they do want to be with you. If they did not, something would've happened to stop you from getting them.

One last bit of advice: Spirits are like potato chips. You can't have just one! x*D x*D

Hello and welcome 🤗.

Everything that was linked for you already is great information about spirit keeping. I just would like to mention, if you are absolutely deaf and blind to the spirit world, might be good start to experience with spells that enhance your skills. Meditation and learning to be quiet is a good place to start and especially written reflection goes a long way too….but slow to begin with if you get a companion and you can’t communicate at all.

Usually, we all do it simultaneously, spirit keeping boosters & bonding spells from the shop, picked along with your first spirit plus we all do our little efforts to get connected with our spirit friends. Telepathic is reasonably easily developed and most spirits are easily connect through that style.

As for which spirit to pick as your first one is really your own choice. There are lots is pointers in those links that was already shared here.
Wish you the best. Can’t wait to hear about your first spirit choice in few weeks time. 🥹
