Who are your team members?

The team that I would like us to consider today is our own personal spiritual team.  This is the team that most often gets neglected; however is the most powerful team of all. 

We all know that the benefits of being on a team include having:  increased knowledge; increased influence; increased power; increased resources; increased energy; increased connections; unlimited support; etc.  This also applies to our spiritual team.  These team members can move mountains to bring us the resources we need to continuing living our life's purpose (the plan). 

The first group of team members to consider is "mentors", people who have gone before us and can offer us insight, information, courage, etc.  You may have already engaged in an in-person mentor or two in your journey thus far.  Now is the time to add mentors from the spiritual world. 

There are those who have gone before us who are waiting on the other side for us to invite them to help us now.  These can be people that you've known and have passed away.  They can be deceased relatives.  They can be those that you have admired their work from years or centuries ago while they were here or are simply drawn to them for some unknown reasons.    

My first experience of creating my spiritual team was several years ago when I first heard about a master mind team.  That's when I learned that it was possible to add anyone to your team, regardless if they was alive or had passed on.  Although I did dabble in this a little bit at the time, I now realize that I did not fully comprehend and understand the incredible value of adding those who have passed over as team members.  I was still thinking that I could do everything on my own and didn't need anyone's help, spiritually or otherwise.  Plus I was a little skeptical about it working for me.

So how do we add someone to our team that has already passed on?  Well, first consider who you are attracted to.  Who do you like reading about or whose work do you find fascinating?  Are you a history buff and love reading about certain people in history?  Or simply ask yourself the question, "Who would work well on my team based their experiences, knowledge and characteristics?"  And then listen and see what ideas or thoughts pop into your mind.  You can also meditate and ask the question of who would work well on your team. 

Once you have decided who you would like to add as a team member(s), simply ask them to join you.  You can do this either verbally or with your thoughts.  It really is that simple.  You can communicate with them using creative writing which is writing a question on a piece of paper and then just allowing your hand to write whatever comes next.  Or you can meditate and communicate with them inside the meditation. 

Also, they will communicate with you through your intuition, thoughts, songs, signs, other people and messages that you will receive.  So be alert to all that is happening around you.

In Grade 8 I did a book report on King Tutankhamun, an Egyptian King.  I became very interested in King Tutankhamun as well as Queen Nefertiti who is rumored to be either King Tutankhamun's mother or grandmother.  So guess who part of my team is?  Yes, both King Tutankhamun and Queen Nefertiti have made the team as well as Joan of Arc. 

The second aspect of our spiritual team consists of Angels, Archangels and Fairies.  I was stunned to learn that I can call upon Angels to help and support me and realizing that Angels are an extension of God's love.  Even more stunned to learn that they have been hanging around just waiting for me ask for their help.  This has definitely given me a new meaning to the phrase "Ask and ye shall receive."  If you do not know much about Angels, Archangels and Fairies and how they can support us, I recommend that you read up on it as I know you will be pleasantly surprised. 

I have learned that there are different Angels and Archangels to support us with different aspects of our lives, all to help us live our life's purpose.  And they are all available to help and support all of us with anything that we are experiencing right now.  All we have to do is ask. 

We can communicate with the Angels in the same way as described above.  And they will communicate with us as described above as well.  Simply trust that it is real and that you deserve to have this incredible support for you. 

Knowing that we do not have to do it all on our own can also be a great stress releaser and negative releaser which would essentially allow the creativity to flow more freely and open us up to receiving the extra support.  Therefore, a variety of team members is essential to leading a productive, successful, prosperous and happy life as we work towards living out our life's purpose.

So who are your team members or who would you like to add to your team.  There are no limits as to who we can have on our team or how many team members we can have.  You can also invite others to join you for special projects in their areas of expertise. 

The two rules that I do follow in regards to my spiritual team are as follows:

• Each morning I say "Good morning" to my team, addressing each by name, and inviting all to join me for the day and supporting me in whatever ways they can to make my day the best it can be.
• Each evening I bid my team, "Good night" and thank them for the great day, the gifts of the day, and the lessons of the day as I do my gratitude list.

I have learned in reading information about Angels that the only thing they require in return for their support and help is a simple "Thank-you".  So I have also included my thank-you to all members of my spiritual team.  And all I can tell you is that it is working for me and my life has changed dramatically in the last six months.  Right now I am reading Doreen Virtue's books on Angels and highly recommend them.

So my call to action for you today is to:

• create your spiritual team (if you have not already done so) including both Angels and spirits of those already passed on;  
• if you already have a team, expand your existing spiritual team by adding new team members including Angels; 
• for the next 30 days, practice saying "Good morning" and "Good night" to your spiritual team, asking for their support, and including your thank-you with your gratitude list; 
• pay attention and keep track of how you are feeling, your thoughts, your intuition, the messages delivered through outside means, all signs that your spiritual team is assisting you; 
• and have wonderful, spirit-filled 30 days!
