Empowerment

Your card today is drawn from the fractal art deck, 'Divine Guidance', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is the 'Empowerment' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"This card shows a gentle, yet powerful opening and energy flow of the third chakra---the power centre.  Through your own willingness to stand tall and be all of who and what you are meant to be, you naturally vibrate a dynamic energy that has a positive and empowering effect on others.  Through your own acts of self-kindness and self-love, you have given yourself permission to shine a gentle and loving strength.  This is exactly what the world needs right now.  You are giving the gift of self-empowerment to everyone you meet."

My message for you today is this:
This card is the #17 card in this deck.  According to Doreen Virtue's 'Angel Numbers' book, the #17 means: "The angels applaud you for staying positive and optimistic. They say that your optimism is warranted, as your affirmative thoughts are coming true.  Keep up the good work, as you're on the right path!"
The third chakra, known as the Solar Plexus chakra, located in your midsection, is the energy centre of, 'I can'.  The color associated with this chakra is brilliant yellow and you can see that golden color in the fractal image above.
As I lay my hand upon this fractal art card, the first word that came to mind is 'glowing'... When we are in our power people often describe us as 'glowing', because we are shining and sharing our Light!  Seeing you 'glowing' can serve to inspire others to want the very same for themselves!  Lightworkers are often uncomfortable with placing themselves in the 'limelight' or being the centre of attention.  Perhaps that is what will be asked of you in order to truly shine your Light, and perhaps not.  To stand in your power simply means to own who you are, to acknowledge all that you are and to honour yourself!  You may or may not be asked to take on a tangible leadership position, but it does not take standing on a stage and speaking in a public forum to impact others with your self-empowerment!  Our means of expressing ourselves out into the world are as varied and unique as we are, and THAT is the real beauty of self-empowerment!  
Blessed be...
