Shhh…
Are you listening?

In
our busy, crazy lives, we all feel disconnected and lost at times.
One of my
favorite ways to feel more connected…is by communicating with my Angels. I do
it everyday, throughout my day.
And I always pause, quiet my mind and listen
for their response. For me, it is not like having a live conversation with a
store clerk. I usually prefer to be in my quiet time to hear their
messages clearly. I do not usually “see” my angels with my human eyes, yet I do
at times sense a “presence”.
I may be in meditation, out in nature,
working in my garden ….or even in my dreams.
But before we get in too deep, I
need to mention that I always start and end my day by connecting to divine
energy and getting grounded into the earth. (You can see articles on these
topics on my blog at dianergy.com).
And, I want to emphasize that even though we do get scared/lost/overwhelmed
etc…. we are always surrounded by Angels…. you are never
alone! All you need to do is “Ask” for help… in any way that makes sense to
you.
The angels are always listening, but only take action when you ask for
help. You can even ask for a message/sign/symbol like a feather, song,
repeating numbers (11:11) or a rainbow if it calls to you. But be careful not
to turn the into a game… or a need for cognitive proof. This is a sacred
activity, that I rely on daily.
There are so many angels that I can talk
about with you. Yes, we can talk to our Angels and interpret their responses.
But for many, that can seem really tricky and even daunting at times. So, I
will start with one of my first and still favorite decks of Angel Oracle Cards:
“Messages From Your Angels” by Doreen Virtue. There is no need be
afraid or intimidated by these tools. Using Oracle Cards is very safe. They are easy to
use and they communicate to you through images, words and your intuitive
feelings. Yes, we all do have a sense of intuition or “gut” feeling. It is just
a matter of acknowledging your intuition, practicing with this divine gift and
learning to trust it.
Here is an example of a card from the deck - Archangel Michael . His message is “I am with you, giving you the courage
to make life changes that will help you work on your Divine Life Purpose”
This
image is from my deck of oracle cards App on my iPhone. But you can also get
them as physical, hold in your hands, cards. I have both kinds of decks. The
ones on my phone are very convenient because they are always with me! I use
them regularly to do readings for myself… as well as doing reading for clients.
Just to clarify—Oracle Cards can be easier
to start with than Tarot for some people (myself included). This was all
new to me and I needed to feel safe when I started. {Tarot cards are
fine, too, if you have an interest. I, of course, started with Angel Tarot
Cards!}
Since I was initially feeling pulled
in the direction of Angel Oracle Cards, I jumped in and started to learn.
Those of you who are already familiar with Oracle and Tarot can experiment with
a variety of decks and digital or physical decks to see which ones meet your
needs the best. You can also start by getting reading from others if you do not
want to purchase your own decks.
Angel Oracle Cards are always uplifting and
positive with inspiration and guidance to support you on your unique path.
These decks usually jump out (lol) and choose you. Just listen to your
repetitive messages and what you are being called toward. If it doesn’t feel
good to me, I just walk away. Once you choose a deck, it comes with
instructions on how to use it. Familiarize yourself by looking at and touching
each card so you see all the cards in your new deck.
Before you use your deck to do a reading,
you can clear the deck with an intention, prayer, selenite crystal etc. Look
deep into the imagery, read the words on each card (as well as the information
booklet) to get more familiar with the cards. After you practice using these
cards on yourself, try them out on a friend or family member you trust. Or even
do a card reading for your child/grandchild or pet. Enjoy this experience, and
I hope it brings you peace, answers and insights for moving forward. And
remember, always Thank Your Angels!
Expect Magic and Miracles…Diane
