Wind

This is your card reading for Monday, August 28th/17. Your card today drifted out of the 'Crystal Ally Cards' deck authored by Naisha Aishan. Your card is 'Wind', and Naisha's message for the card is this:
"The element of Wind has blown into your cards today to remind you to listen to the voices of Spirit that are speaking. Spirit beings, guides, angels, and your own Higher Self can all utilize Wind energy to carry messages to you. When you quiet yourself and concentrate on the breath of the Wind within you, you open yourself to the guidance of these higher beings.
Wind may be indicating that you need to view the current situation through the higher chakras of the third eye and crown. Perhaps you need to use your mental energies in order to work out a problem. Or maybe you are being asked to open your intuition to receive an answer or new direction from the Spirit world. The energy of Wind may be telling you to 'use your head' in the current situation. When the power of Wind is invoked, you are being assured of a renewed clarity of thought, and an increased ability to use your mental abilities to affect change.
Take some time to invite the power of Wind into your life. Sit outside, and breath the Wind into your body. Utilize the power of deep breathing to create clarity and enhance your connection to the subtle realms. Wind is calling upon you to listen to its voice within your deepest self."

My message for you today is this:
Within her Crystal Ally card deck, Naisha has the Crystal cards organized under the elements of Earth, Fire, Water, Wind and Storm...much like suits within a conventional deck of cards (only there are 5 'suits' in her deck!).  Each element is also represented with a card within the deck, and the Wind element has presented for you today. The element cards are powerful cards within this deck, and we need to really pay attention when they present for us. 
Interesting that, as I type your message for you, my attention has been drawn to the view outside my office window of our large Weeping Birch tree blowing in the wind! The phrase that comes to mind is, 'The winds of change, they are a-blowin'!' I'm not sure where I've heard it before, but it is definitely running through my mind for your message today!  It feels significant to also share that, as I watch the tree outside my window blowing in the wind, there is an ebb and flow to the wind...it is gentle, and then it is strong.  It is important to understand that when we are experiencing some aspect of change within our lives, (and especially change that we are consciously striving to bring about!) there will be an ebb and flow also. The project that you have been working on; the habit that you have been inspired to shift; the relationship that you have the desire to mend; the new career that you are building; all CHANGE is meant to happen in increments---to be experienced in gusts and then gentle breezes---over time. If you understand this, it is easier to go with the flow... 
My daughter often said to me, in her later teen years, when she would see that I was attempting to control some situation that seemed to be out of my control, "Be the wind, Mom..." She was basically telling me to 'go with the flow' regarding things I couldn't change. Sometimes this comment annoyed me, admittedly, but I now understand that this was sage advice!  Is there a situation in your life right now where you need to "Be the wind" and just let it blow on by? 
The other phrase that comes to mind is one that I have displayed in my home..."Just Breathe..."  The element of Wind has also presented for you today as a reminder of how our breath is a wonderful means of shifting our own vibration. Our breath is one of the most powerful tools for healing and shifting our experience that we have, and it is so underused! 
If you have the opportunity to do so today, sit outdoors in a natural setting and just breathe... Relax... Just be... We have been in some intense energies of late.  Just for today, utilize the Wind element that has been gifted to you in the form of your breath. Breathe in peace.
Know that change is ALWAYS occurring.  The element of Wind can be supportive as you undergo change, when you consciously utilize it.  "The winds of change, they are a-blowin'"...choose to hold a positive viewpoint about this today.  All is well!
Blessed be...
