(Madisyn Taylor)
We may have become accustomed to asking for help from the unseen world whether from angels, guides, or ancestral spirits but sometimes we may forget to close our connection afterwards with a thank you. When we connect to these energies for assistance, it is much like a phone connection. Forgetting to close the conversation with a proper "goodbye" is like not hanging up. While that line is still connected, others can have trouble getting through, while in the meantime, batteries are being drained. Saying "thank you" is a way of releasing our concerns into trusted hands and getting out of the way so that the universe's divine order can work on our behalf.
As spiritual beings, we may talk about "staying connected," but our connection needs to be with our source. We can plug in and recharge, but we run on batteries in between, and every connection we make utilizes some of our personal power. Even being surrounded by people that energize us has its limits, and at some point, we will feel ready to go off on our own to do what is ours to do. Instead of trying to be constantly connected, we can turn to these beings for help in a way that is more like placing an order. We contact them, ask for what we need, and then say thank you and goodbye.
Beings of light don't require our gratitude; it is an energetic acknowledgement of trust and release that benefits us. When we bring ourselves to a sense of being grateful, we affirm that what we have asked is already done. Then we can move forward with confidence to do the things we are meant to do, while knowing that all will be well.
My Thoughts:
I love Tarot cards and have several packs that have chosen to be with me, but I have a temperamental relationship with the one I use most of the time. We often do not see eye-to-eye in specific readings. Now, I’m not too sure if a lot of the time that is all down to me simply not wanting the reading to be correct, especially if it is a personal one. When the answers are not what I expect I tend to question the cards, and this is where the problems start.
I will go back to basics and ask of them questions that I know the answers to, usually in a three card ‘past, present’ future’ layout. The past is set in concrete so the response to a simple question should be one I can relate to, but when I am having doubts about the information that they are provided that is not the case. It is as if the cards are playing with me, showing me that they are not prepared to take things seriously if I am going to mistrust them.
This is when I know that both of us needs to be cleansed before we will ever be able to get anywhere. The simplest way is to spend time under a full moon, for me that means spending a little time in the garden, usually with a glass of wine when it’s nice or a mug of something hot when it’s not, as for the cards I will sit them on a window ledge for the night. That done we can all start again.
