You should always thank your guide’s for their help and wisdom. Something simple will due, the most important part is acknowledgment and gratitude. “Thank you, Higher Guides, for hearing me and showing me the way”, or something of the sort is just fine.
You can also try writing it down or speaking it out loud to make it more real or tangible to you, and the universe. Your words are your greatest powers.

Psychic Connection With Spirit Guides
Being more in tune with your spirit guides is really a matter of looking within and asking for their help from a place of love and truth and compassion. You want to set your intention clearly and thank them for whatever guidance they offer you. Then you need to listen and look for signs.
One effective way to gain a deeper psychic connection with spirit guides is writing with your spirit guides. After meditation on your question or problem (you can do a psychic meditation), begin writing anything that stood out to you in your mind’s eye or anything that may have popped into your head while meditating.
You may even find your guides speaking directly to you as you write if you notice a switch between first person and second person; or, in some cases, even a change in handwriting.
Your psychic connection is so strong with your spirit guide if this happens, that you are actually channeling them. Trusting your instinct and the universe is the key to making a strong psychic connection with your spirit guides.
