Pick a Number – A Simple Exercise
When you are learning to work with your guides, it’s incredibly helpful to know what signs they are sending you. When I started working with the tarot formally and walking my path, I wanted to be sure that what I was hearing and seeing was what I thought. So many signs and things that had always been around me, but if I was going to share my gifts with others, I needed to be sure that I wasn’t just creative? I still remember Christopher Penczak telling me that as long as I was questioning if I was crazy, I wasn’t. I’ve always loved that.
Through years of study and working to improve the bonds with my guides, I worked with many different exercises to help me figure out if I was hearing them and seeing things as I thought I was. I always tell people that one of my favorite tools was oracle cards. I would ask a question looking for an answer, and when something came up that I disagreed with, I learned their voices. I would argue with what I was seeing and hearing. It was an excellent way for me to figure things out.
Today I have a simple exercise for you to work with. Choose a bag that you can use for this exercise. I find tarot card bags are excellent for this exercise. Grab a piece of paper and write down the numbers from one to nine on individual pieces of paper that you can put in the bag and shuffle. You want to keep them all the same size. From this bag, you will choose a number that you will be looking for from your guides. The reason that I have you write down the numbers and choose them from a bag rather than just thinking of a number is to help involve the energy of your guides. As you select your number, ask your guides for their assistance in choosing a number that they will send to you as a sign to help you know that they are with you. When you have your number, choose a specific amount of time that you will work with that number. Maybe it’s for that day, and perhaps you want to use it for a week. Your energy is really important, and the decisions you make help bring your energy to the number you and your guides are working with. Look for the number and watch how many times it comes up. You may find that it happens more frequently the more often you do it. It’s a great way to help you see signs from your guides and to help to open that door of communication.
Have a magickal day!
