Ultimately, your spiritual guide is your Higher Self.
Spiritual guidance comes to us through a person so we can more easily identify with it. Remember the movie Contact when Jodie Foster meets her father in the other dimension. He says he takes the form of her father so she will be more comfortable.
It is beautiful you see your guide as the form of a child. It is our inner child of delight that we all seek once again, and is available to us in deep meditation.
Sit still, close your eyes, take regular breaths in and out. Concentrate on observing your breaths. Keep positive thoughts in mind and love for at least one other person or pet.
Enjoy the peace as it washes over your mind and body and know you've reached the home of the spiritual guru, where you can ask for the guidance you seek. Then after your meditation write out the instructions in your journal to follow through on.
