Okay, I'm not sure if this is the place to post this since I'm still fairly new... but I thought I'd try it here...
Anyway, I'm personally interested in contacting or interacting with (in a more tangible way) my Spirits Guide(s) and also maybe contacting my grandmother that has passed on. I feel like she's either become a guide of sorts or just hangs around near me because I'm the only family member that has a mentality that is open enough for her to make contact with. In the past I've been a little wary of the concept of "seeing dead people" so to speak but have since had some experiences that have made me a little more open. I have only seen things so far and never communicated with anyone. Also, it hasn't or doesn't happen very often but at least I now know it's possible and not so scary.

Since I'm beginning to ramble a little and don't want to confuse anyone I think I'll leave off here and just ask for insight and maybe suggestions if anyone has any. I appreaciate any and all thoughts on the matter.
Thanks!
Have you tried to meditate on it first? I find that sometimes when I need to talk to someone and don't want to try a Shamic journey alone (I always pair up with someone so they can be a kind of rock that I get back to), I meditate and try to see them. Plus I believe that there are rits that help you see your spirit guide, but sadly I don't remember them. However they may be in my BoS, I'll have to check!
