Well there is Longchenpa Guru Yoga at least within Longchen Nyingtik. Do you have a (Nyinmga) lama who teaches the Longchen Nyingtik?

Hi thank you for your reply, no I haven't, but I wish to connect with an authentic teacher of the omniscient ones liniage, and no better way to do this but guru yoga of the omniscient one . To choose him as my chosen deity guru, his non restricted books have seeded much in my mind, I feel great devotion and dedication to him and his teachings, I wish to choose him as my guru yoga yoga practice to not only manifest a connection with his liniage but to mostly pay devotion. This has manifested in the heart to do this, so if you know of any please let me know. Thank you

It's called Thig-le Gya-chen. It is the yang sang or "even more secret" of the Longchen Nyingthig'S four Guru yogas. It is the Guru yoga associated with practicing threk-chod and thod-gal when doing this in a traditional step by step order, as in three year retreat.

LongChen Nyingthik is a quite popular cycle, taught by many Lamas throughout the world.
You should locate a teacher who teaches this lineage, and take Ngondro transmission. The whole of ngondro is actually really a guru yoga practice.

Tigle Gyachen would be something you would practice later on, most likely, under the instruction of a qualified teacher.

In the meantime you can recite prayers like this one.

Prayer to Longchenpa (Adapted from the Words of Mipham Rinpoche)
by Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche
The primordial and spontaneous nature of luminous awareness
Is unchanging and of one-taste with all the victorious buddhas.
To you who have perceived this directly, Omniscient Lord of Dharma,
Drimé Özer, I pray!

With your brilliant, stainless insight you have clearly and unerringly understood
The meaning of the supreme vehicle in its entirety
And are possessed of the pith instructions of profound key points:
To the collection of your speech—fine explanations all—I pray!

The lion's roar that is the beautiful speech of buddhas and bodhisattvas
Has prophesied that you, protector, will awaken
And be renowned as the guide Rirab Marmé Gyaltsen.
At that time may I and all parent beings gather
At the place of your enlightenment as youthful bodhisattvas,
And, having enjoyed the nectar of your true words,
Receive a prophecy of our very own —
That we too will attain the ten powers!

Thinking to alter the prayers of the one who was Mañjuśrī in person, Mipham Rinpoche, just a little, I, Maṅgala Śrībhūti (Tashi Paljor, Kyabje Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche), wrote this supplication. May it serve as a cause for the sun of the wisdom lineage to rise and open the lotus blossom of our hearts!
