Isolt ~ Infinite Self-Love

This is your card reading for Wednesday, February 22nd/17.  Your card today slipped out of the 'Awakening of the Divine' card deck, authored by Velva Dawn Silver-Hughes.  Your card is 'Isolt ~ Infinite Self-Love' and Velva Dawn's message for the card is this:
"Do you love yourself? Do you completely trust the wisdom that can guide your path? Do you see the beauty in others but not in yourself? Are you ready to fall in love with YOU? Do you really know who you are?  What do you love to do?
Isolt is a Celtic goddess. . .she is associated with true undying eternal love for yourself that can be amplified when you are outdoors in nature among the tree and flower spirits. She can also help you connect with any deceased loved ones whom you are wishing to communicate with.
Our heart chakra is a vital energy center that naturally closes down when it is wounded. Many of us receive wounds through the many different experiences in our lifetime from birth until death.  If our heart chakra becomes clogged with scars from our wounds, then this energy center can't flow properly and you will develop a dis-ease associated with the organs and systems that are in the chest area, arms and hands.
Isolt is inviting you to fall in love with the depths of your soul.  She is asking you to begin looking into the mirror each day and to say one positive thing about yourself for 21 days. This will begin to create a new cycle of deep self-love to awaken within.  Isolt wants you to get a dozen pink roses and put them by your bed.  Give Isolt permission to work on your heart chakra each night to begin removing the mask of self-doubt, self-judgment, lack of self beauty, and any pain connected to your infinite well of self-love.
Our heart is like a rose, it has many petals to open, connecting you to the center of your own origin and finding your path to enlighten yourself and others on this planet Earth.  As you release the pain, fear, and lower energies you will begin to see yourself and others from a higher perspective.  You will be able to see the light within their soul connecting to yours and to the infinite source.
AFFIRMATION:  My true essence is complete and the love that I have for myself is infinite and abundant. Breathe in love and breathe out any negative thoughts that I am storing in my heart.  I am love."

My message for you today is this:
We are in some powerful ascension energies of late!!! This pushes us to 'dig deep' and to consciously examine WHO we are at the deepest level.  Yes...you have already done a great deal of work regarding self-discovery and authentic expression of Self.  Now we are being asked to 'take things to the next level', so to speak.  As Elizabeth Peru states in her 'Tip-Off Global Energy Forecast':  "Doorways of inner truth are now open, as the bridge between heart and voice is clearing this week. . .Integrity and authenticity are on offer. If you wish to embody these characteristics and life values then act today from your heart and see where it leads you."
Be gentle with yourself as you may feel your physical body and your psyche adjusting to the incoming higher vibrations.  Understand that there may well be some 'heart hurt' arising for you to release...perhaps memories of old wounds are coming bubbling to the surface, even though you felt that you had 'dealt with those hurts' already.  Simply acknowledge these old heart hurts as they arise, bless them for the lessons incurred, and further release them. This is NOT happening in order to pull you backwards, but rather, in acknowledgment of how far you have come!  The healing of these old wounds at the deepest level is what will now allow you to speak your Truth from that higher vibrational place of self-love and self-empowerment, rather than from victimhood.  Focus upon the self-love that you have worked to create in your life.  The goddess Isolt has presented for you today to assist you with that.
I have taken the photo of your card today with my Rose Quartz Heart/High Heart crystal singing bowl, and a large piece of raw Rose Quartz crystal that was lovingly gifted to me. I think of Rose Quartz as the stone of unconditional Love, and this includes self-love. Utilize this beautiful crystal at this time to support yourself and to celebrate your growth in striving to reside in self-love.  'You've come a long way, baby!'  It is in nurturing the love that we hold for ourselves that we can then best express our love to others, in all ways.
Blessed be...
