Don't Be Afraid to Ask

When spiritual artists create portraits of angels, fairies and guides, they are usually shown, being helpful, rescuing and giving words of comfort.

Nothing would make them happier than this, yet too often it does not happen until it is too late.

More than likely, if these artists painted your spiritual helpers as they spend most of their time, you would see them wringing their hands and shaking their heads with disappointment.

Your silly belief systems have convinced you that only those with special abilities and talents have the right to speak to these beings. 

It is actually those of you who have the least (or so you believe) aptitude for psychic vision and communication that these guides wish to contact. 

You do not need to hear a voice in your head, or see an angel or fairy in front of you to receive guidance and help. 

Know your question or problem. Ask it. Then sit in silence. You may get an answer, a word, a vision or idea. You may see a physical sign. 

Take a breath. Focus on your heart and take the action you feel guided to take. 

Even mistakes lead you further down the path. Don't get frustrated if you seem to misunderstand what your guides are telling you. 

It is like learning a foreign language. You cannot do it in one day. Talk to your guides daily. Ask for little things to practice this communication. 

Do not assume that no one is listening because your dreams have not yet been realized. 

Your requests are always answered. In most cases, the one who is not listening is you.

Your Weirdness Is Your Gift

If you want to know what spiritual gifts you possess, look no further than your weird quirks and strange tendencies. They will lead you to the treasures within you.

Are you dreamy? Have your teachers told you to stop daydreaming and pay attention? Close your eyes. Allow your dreams to take you where they will. You may discover great ideas, make unique connections, have strong psychic abilities or be able to develop them.

Are you meticulous? Do you have an eye for details that others might miss? You may be able to read things in people by noticing subtle shifts in their energy, posture or expressions. You may also have artistic or musical skills.

Do you constantly experience pain? You may be picking up the pain of others. You may be an empath, healer or both. Be sure to clear your energy often with meditation or healing work. You do not need to carry the burdens of others. You might want to investigate a healing profession if it moves you.

To you talk over people or finish their sentences? Perhaps you are trying to shot out the thoughts you can hear around you. You might be telepathic. Cultivate your listening skills and see what happens.

Are you fidgety? Your body may be trying to catch up with your rapidly changing thoughts and ideas. You may be processing the energies of others. Dance, walk, rock get into the flow of the energy and see what comes to you. An invention, a poem, perhaps a song?

You do not have quirks because you are weird. You have quirks because you are civilized, and you must stifle your natural energies. Do not suppress them. Get away by yourself and explore them. We never cease to be amazed at all that you are capable of doing. It's time for you to be amazed as well. ~Silas
