Card: Counselor
From: Archangel Oracle Cards by Doreen Virtue, Ph.D.

On the card: “Archangel Azrael: ‘You are a natural counselor, and many people benefit from your guidance and reassurance.’”

Interesting card for me, today, since just yesterday I mentioned to a friend that I was waiting to publicize my blog until I gained some more confidence. I know that I have felt many times over the years that I have helped someone feel better – how about you? Have you felt that you have a gift of guidance and reassurance? I bet you have.

I think we all have a desire to help, although the ways in which we do help can differ quite a bit. Even a smile from a stranger is enough to help someone through the day. So take a chance the next time you’re in public - flash a smile at someone and see how they react. One of my favourite things to do when I’m out for a walk is smiling at the people walking towards me. Oftentimes, the person is a senior citizen who is pleasantly surprised at my ‘hello!’ and my smile. And I tell you, what a great sight it is to see when a person with a blank or glum look on their face smiles back at you and their whole face lights up. I know that the little smile I gave them has brightened their day. I’d like to think that it tells them that someone cares, and it has made their day better. I have been on the receiving end of many random smiles, and they have undoubtedly brightened my days.

Sometimes, people just need a little reassurance that they are worthwhile, or that they are doing the right thing. Even a little reassurance can go a long way, and it has a snowball effect. Its effect reverberates into the different levels of our mind, body and soul. If someone is lacking self-confidence, a kind word of reassurance can go a long way in increasing their self-worth.

So, I ask again, because I think I know the answer: Do you think you are a natural counselor?

Have a great day!
