Amazonite ~ Personal Truth

This is your daily card reading for Thursday, July 10th/14.  Your card today was drawn from the 'Crystal Ally Card Deck', authored by Naisha Aishan.  Your card is the 'Amazonite ~ Personal Truth' card, and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"When Amazonite appears in your cards, it is reminding you of the importance of expressing your personal truth through your words and actions.  If you live your life according to your truth, you will gain a sense of trust in yourself and your own motives.  Your path of growth in this world will become clearer when you cease living your life to please others.
The current situation will not be resolved or freed to move until you state your truth.  Have you been hiding your feelings in order to keep from 'rocking the boat'?  Or perhaps you are being asked to take a stand before everyone, declaring your personal truth in order to make it a reality.
Allow the frequency of Amazonite to resonate deep within your heart and throat chakras, stimulating the words and actions that are living within you...know that in declaring your mind and heart, your path will be made clear.
CHAKRA:  Heart and Throat
AFFIRMATION:  I express my personal truth, and step onto the path of the spiritual warrior.

My message for today is this:
Being a 'spiritual warrior' DOES NOT mean going into battle, or being aggressive in living and speaking your TRUTH!   Nor does it imply disempowering another!  It means to stand firmly and confidently in your truth;  'walking your talk'; and being authentic with your words and actions.  When you are in your TRUTH, you are in your HIGHER SELF, which means that you are in the energy of LOVE.  When you strive to be authentic, and to speak and act from your truth you DO NOT come across as DEFENSIVE---quite the opposite!  You present yourself as serene and centered and self-assured.  
Think about the times when you have squashed how you really feel about something that is important to you---and how when you do so, resentment builds inside you---until finally you EXPLODE out what your true thoughts and feelings are, often to the surprise and bewilderment of whomever witnesses this.  Now, think about how differently this would all play out if you were just authentic about how you felt to begin with?  You would be presenting your TRUTH from a place of calm, rather than like a raving lunatic!  Which do you believe would be more readily heard and received?
Also keep in mind that, expressing YOUR truth is not meant to negate another's TRUTH. It doesn't mean that we need to CONVINCE another of who we REALLY are, but rather that we honour ourselves by EMBRACING and presenting ourselves authentically.  When you live in your TRUTH, your life flows with ease and grace, so do your best to live in your TRUTH.  The energy of Amazonite is presenting for you today to assist you with this, and to encourage you to 'lead with your heart' as you communicate and share yourself with the World.
Blessed be...
