Erin,

It seems to be that 50% of the time when I ask my guides to help me find some lost item they very sagely (or, I'd say, rather cheekily) suggest that perhaps what is lost is something that I no longer need. They tell me to look at what I lost and the timing of it's loss for deeper meaning. ;-) LOL!

That being said, I generally find that, rather than memory loss on my part, it is playful behavior on the part of elementals (ie. fairies, gnomes, earth sprites etc.)

One method that I have learnt which often helps bring an item back is to walk in a counter-clockwise circle three times, stomping my feet and saying very loudly: Return my item to me now. Return my item to me now. Return my item to me now.

The strength of your will, your firm intention that something return to you, is the key component.

It helps to say the name of the actual item, lest the tricky little beings return something that they absconded with months ago, that you no longer need and have forgotten all about.
