Gratitude and Forgiveness Spread

Yesterday I was asked a question about atonement in a comment on another post (The better side of the Five of Swords) and in answering it, I was reminded of a spiritual spread in my new book, The Soul’s Journey.  I thought it would be nice to share that spread here.

It is a three card spread and the positions are as follows:

1.  What should you express gratitude for in this relationship?
2.  What do you need to apologize or atone for?
3.  What should you forgive?  (Or, what do you need to forgive yourself for?)

I realize that at first glance, this spread may seem like it is merely a relationship spread; it may not seem particularly spiritual.  However, incorporating appreciation, atonement, and forgiveness in our relationships and in our everyday lives truly is an important step along a journey of enlightenment.
