1) We have all four elements within us, but if you mean which one you are most in touch with, you simply feel the pull.
2) Spirit guides can be invoked by meditation and lucid dreaming. By calling out to them while doing so, they can give you an answer; they are always around you but they can only reply, as they cannot interfere with your life if you don't give them permission. When you become more aquainted with them you can hear heir voices in your head without the meditation part.
Thats one opinion. Theres no arguing scientificaly that we have all of the elements inside us. But yes, whatever element you are pulled to would be the one that you would want to take the time to invest in honeing at that time. You could close your eyes and imagine 2 red doors in your mind and wait for them to dissipate or turn green so you may pass through the doorway to the spirit realm which looks different from person to person. A meadow full of wildflowers on a midsummers day or full moon night. A great hall. Once you have crossed over you would ask only to speak with good spirits to answer your questions. The spirits will come forward. The one up front to left will be your guide and you can talk to them and they will answer your questions. Then open your eyes.
The best way to meditate depends on the person. I am horrible at "normal" meditation (the kind found in most books, classes, ect on the subject) but I do great with Qigong which has a great many variations, but is generally a moving meditation. If you have any questions on it message me and I would be happy to answer them.
Meditation is really "deep thinking", making contact with the subconscious.The subconscious is much more powerful than the conscious. Many years ago I witnessed a "hit and run" incident, but could only tell the police that the car was "dark" colour, and I thought the make was a "hatchback".
After meditating, my subconscious brain had "seen" everything!
I was able to tell the police the colour and make of the car,that it had a male driver and a male passenger, and the full Registration Number. The culprit was arrested, and I received a letter of thanks from the police.
Meditation, done properly, is very powerful!
