Angelic Being & Astral Realms

This is your card reading for Thursday, August 25th/16.  Your cards skimmed together out of the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your cards are 'Angelic Being' and 'Astral Realms'.  Cheryl Lee's messages for the cards are:
~Angelic Being~
"Your Angelic Being has been with you since the day of your birth, and will continue to be with you when you cross through the veil and return home.  Your angelic guardian is asking you to look for signs and synchronicities.  They are trying to communicate with you now. In a whisper of gentle guidance, you may hear your name being called, or feel the subtle touch of a feather or a tender tickle.  You may see a sign on a billboard, a magazine or even on TV. Keep your awareness open to the message they are bringing you."

~Astral Realms~
"You have a strong connection with the astral realms.  Usually, we visit these realms while sleeping and that is where we meet with our guides, teachers and even other souls who have moved on from the Earth plane.  For you however, this connection is allowing you to connect while you are awake, either when meditating or working with your intuition.  This is truly a gift, as the information you receive here can aid both you and others through life. Spirit is calling you to begin using your gifts in service to others, in the way that feels right for you."

My message for you today is this:
The message is clear the you are to pay very close attention to what your intuition is striving to communicate with you at this time.  You will likely not achieve this by dropping into the energy of desperation ("I just HAVE to get the message!!!"); but rather by dropping into the vibration of allowing and receiving and awareness ("I am open to receive the message in whatever way you communicate it to me, and I will trust what I receive.")  When you are trying to 'force' communication, you place yourself in a vibrational space that actually may hinder your receiving the information being offered.  Relax into it and then trust, allow, receive and believe.  Often times, Spirit communicates with us in unexpected ways that we couldn't script if we tried!  
I shared here previously, how I had asked my Guides and Angels for validation that I was meant to take a very important, specific step on my spiritual path in February 2015, and I received that undeniable validation on March 1st/15. When I went down to my sacred space on that day, simply to get something from that room, I found a supple red leaf standing at the remains of a previously burnt incense stick on my incense burner.  Now...this was MARCH 1st, in Alberta, and we were in the throes of winter, with snow on the ground and cold temperatures!  Where had this red leaf, that was not dry and crunchy, but that was supple and soft, come from and HOW could it have possibly found it's way into my sacred space, which has the door closed all of the time, with the only access to the outdoors being the window that is screened and was locked closed because it is winter?  Add to that, that my primary Spirit Guide is named Red Leaf!  I began to sob, knowing that this was clear and certain communication from my 'team' that I couldn't deny!  The beauty of it was overwhelming, and I KNEW then that I was being told that the important step I had taken was a Soulful one for me, though not necessarily the easiest one; as it carried with it responsibility. When I had asked for validation and support from my Guides and Angels, I then let go of any expectation of how it would occur, and merely remained open and aware. And the way in which they shared their message was a beautiful gift to me!  I placed that supple red leaf in a small glass jar that is displayed on a shelf in my sacred space, as a reminder that Spirit works in mysterious ways, but is always there for us to support us. (That red leaf is now dry, and shrivelled up, though still red in colour...which speaks even stronger to the mystery of how it 'happened' into my sacred space on that day, in a place that I could not help but notice it.)
So...pay attention, dear ones... How is Spirit striving to communicate with you today?
Blessed be...
