It Is Safe For You To Love

This is your card reading for Friday, July 24th/15.  Your card was drawn from the 'Romance Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue, because Venus is moving into retrograde in relation to Earth (which happened last in Dec. 2013)---so the focus will be on relationships!
Your card is 'It Is Safe For You To Love', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Open your heart to give and receive the highest energy of all...
This card indicates that you've been protecting your heart from hurt because of painful relationship experiences.  However, the angels can only bring as much romance as you'll allow inside.  If you have a shield around your heart, how is love to get in? A closed heart repels the sensitive partner you're trying to attract.
Following your inner guidance will protect you and simultaneously allow you to feel loved and loving.  Trust your intuitive senses with respect to other people's trustworthiness, and open your heart to those who are kind and gentle.  Ask the angels to bring caring individuals (including a romantic partner) into your life, and they'll do so...provided that you listen to and follow their guidance."

My message for you today is this:
This message is not only in regards to romantic relationships.  We have the blessing of experiencing 'soul-mate' relationships in a multitude of ways in our lifetime.  Some friendships will be soul-mate relationships, as will some family relationships...a soul-mate relationship is not limited to our partner or spouse.  
LOVE is honestly the highest vibration.  Unconditional Love is the vibration of the Divine. There is no doubt that each and every one of us has experienced deep wounds and hurt in regards to giving and receiving love at sometime in our lives.  Relationships can be very challenging, but it is here that we learn the most about OURSELVES! 
Just for today, choose to look for the blessings (YES...there were blessings!) and the learnings that you have experienced in every relationship that you have been in---even the hurtful ones.  To 'risk' being vulnerable enough to enter into a relationship of any kind really means trusting in ourselves---trusting that we can nurture ourselves and 'be there' for ourselves no matter what.  Therefore, to love deeply is a very courageous and vulnerable act, and an act of true self-empowerment!  To share your AUTHENTIC self is a leap of faith and the greatest gift you can ever bestow upon another.  To be in relationship with another with whom you share that bond is what it means to be in a soul-mate relationship.
Your Soul truly knows and recognizes such people, just as your Soul truly knows and recognizes those who have come into your life for other reasons...  Pay attention to and trust in what your Higher Self is telling you, and honour that.  You are not a victim!  You are so supported and already unconditionally loved for ALL THAT YOU ARE RIGHT NOW by the Divine!  
Blessed be...
