Voice

I'm backkkkk!  
Deep, deep, gratitude to the beautiful Souls last week who presented as my students, but of course, were also my teachers!  I feel so very blessed for the time we spent together---powerful, enlightening and empowering on so many levels!  
I say 'Thanks', I say 'Amen'...
I am also in gratitude for my dear friends, Patti and Lynda, who assisted me with the markets I attended as a vendor this past weekend---your presence and beautiful Spirit are so appreciated in my life and I am proud to have you stand by me and be a loving support at these events!  Thank you, from my heart!  I just love ya!

This is your daily card reading for Monday, September 22nd/14.  Your card today floated out of the 'Return of Spirit' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your card is the 'Voice' card and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"Let your voice be heard!  You are a beautiful and wise being of the Divine, made to bring forth your individual truth and expression.  No more holding back.  No more staying small. You are being called now to use the gift of your words and the power of your voice.  What you have to say is important.  What you have to share is needed.
You could be finding yourself being asked to step-out in front of groups to talk or you may be finding that situations keep coming up where you are being given an opportunity to be vocal about what you think, believe, or feel.  For many of us, this does not come easily. Often, we have had past experiences which discouraged us from expressing ourselves openly.  It is time to begin to heal those old understandings and allow yourself to be seen and heard.  
Each of us has a unique expression.  Whether you are being asked to sing, chant, pray, speak, or teach---it is your voice that needs to be heard.  This can also be related to simply stating what is true for you in your relationships.  It could involve stating your point-of-view, needs, or desire---regardless of how different they may be.
It's time to remember who you are.  You are a spark of God.  Stand up for yourself.  Stand tall in what you believe.  Speak from your heart and your words will always be heard.  Your voice is a gift and it is meant to be shared.  You are about to empower yourself in a way that you have not experienced before.  You will notice that by taking this step of being vocal, you fall more into alignment of what you are really here to do."
(Lynda...as I was typing this, I thought of you!!!)

My message for you today is this:
I love the synchronicity of the Universe---there are NO coincidences!  Just as I was ready to begin typing your message, my phone rang and it was the organizer of an Expo that I will be a vendor at on November 29th, where I will be speaking about the Akashic Records! Awesome validation!
As I lay my hand upon the 'Voice' fractal art card, the overwhelming energy was one of self-empowerment!  Speaking your truth means coming from your heart and doing so with the underlying energy of Love---Love for yourself.  To stand in your own power NEVER implies disempowering another---true self-empowerment allows for others to be self-empowered, also---it is not a competitive energy.  Use your voice with confidence and compassion, to ensure that you will be best heard.
Also, during the course that I was teaching last week, my students reminded me about the power of chanting and of listening to recordings of chanting---how doing either can absolutely shift vibration.  Music, in all forms (singing bowls, tuning forks, drums, flutes, etc.), is powerful as a tool to shift vibration.  Our voice can also be an incredible instrument in this regard!  I am grateful for the reminder!
Another thought that comes to mind is that to be most effective in our communication, we must choose our words CONSCIOUSLY.  This is what you are doing when you speak from your Heart and consider what you say before you say it.  Words are energy and they have their own vibration.  In matters that are important to you, be aware of that, and consciously choose your words!
The 'Voice' card has presented for you today, because you are being called to use your voice at this time, for the greater good of all.  This may mean that you are given just the right words to comfort a friend or family member at a time when they needed those words.  It may mean that you are meant to express yourself in a public forum.  It may mean that you share words with a stranger in the check-out line at a store, that impact that person in a way that you could not imagine.  It may mean that you lead a chanting circle or ceremony. The opportunities are infinite.  How will you use your Voice?  You are being called to do so consciously and as only YOU can!  
Blessed be...
