Freedom & Speak Your Truth

This is your card reading for Thursday, July 9th/15.  Your cards flew out of the 'Divine Guidance' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  Your cards are 'Freedom' and 'Speak Your Truth', and Cheryl Lee's messages for the cards are:
~Freedom~
"It's time to come out of your shell.  This shell, which did serve you in the past to provide protection for your tender heart, is no longer needed.  The time has come to begin to allow yourself true freedom.  This world and your soul both need you to let your light and your heart shine.  Allow the past to be the past and move forward in this present moment.  Do this is small steps at first if you need to.  Moving away from your protective shell means allowing others in---on a deeper level than you have been able to allow before."
~Speak Your Truth~
"It is time to speak your truth.  You no longer need to hold back what you have to say for fear of what others may think.  You are being asked to speak up and share your feelings, your wisdom, and whatever is on your mind.  When you have something to say, yet hold your words back through fear, you create a blockage in your energy and life.  Speak up.
What you have to say is important and worth being heard.  If you are a public speaker or have a desire to speak publicly, this card encourages you to use your voice and claim your power."

My message for you today is this:
Your cards today are a beautiful compliment to one another.  It has come up so much for us in 2015---in what I am calling the year of 'conscious action'---that we are meant to be expressing ourselves in an authentic and Soul inspired way.  The energies of this time not only support, but encourage us to do so!  This is due to our spiritual maturity and evolution that urges us to share who we ARE with the world for the betterment of All.  We have come to the understanding that to be SENSITIVE is a gift, rather than a detriment.  Humanity, as a collective truly is moving toward acceptance of individuality rather than conformity.  Yes...we are doing so gradually, but if you look around you you will see the ways in which change HAS been occurring, even incrementally.  You can do your part to effect this change by having the courage to be vulnerable by choosing to speak your truth and also by 'walking your talk'.  Stop hiding from the World!  This does NOT imply that you should IMPOSE your viewpoints and ideologies on others, but rather that you be open and willing to SHARE them when opportunities arise to do so.  Due to the prevailing SHIFT that we are in, you will find that you become increasingly uncomfortable whenever you fail to do so.  Whereas you may have been able to 'bury' or withhold your true feelings in the past, in order to ensure that you remain anonymous or 'safe'  or even in order to conform; you will now find that there is an undeniable urgency within you to express your TRUE SELF.  You are not imagining this! The spiritual growth that you have accrued compels you to be true to yourself in every way!
When you do so, you inspire and encourage others to do the same for themselves.  You are indeed free to speak your truth and to share yourself with the world!  While this may not have been the case in the past (both in this lifetime, as well as in past lifetimes) it IS the case for you now...  Embrace this time and opportunity.
Blessed be...
