Archangel Michael & Freedom

Note:  I am posting this reading for Tuesday, July 30th on the evening of July  29th, because we will be on the road, travelling to the lake on Tuesday morning...
Your cards today jumped out of the deck 'Healing With the Angels', authored by Doreen Virtue.  The cards that flew out of the deck for you were the 'Archangel Michael' and the 'Freedom' cards.  Doreen's messages for these cards are:
'Archangel Michael':
"This powerful Archangel is here with you right now.  He gives you courage and helps release you from the effects of fears."
and for 'Freedom':
"The angels guide you to freely express your true thoughts and feelings with love."

My message for you today is this:
Wow! Stepping forward for you today is Archangel Michael, the supreme Archangel of protection, and who guides us with our career and life purpose path, and to compliment that, the 'Freedom' card!! Awesome!!! 
Know that the powerful presence of Archangel Michael is with you, and what a BLESSING that is!!  Revel in the sense of FREEDOM that knowing that you are spiritually protected affords you...be FEARLESS as you pursue what feeds your Soul and fills your heart!! Understand that, on a Soul level, you CHOOSE what it is that you will focus upon...
As has been expressed to you consistently and adamantly, the power is within YOU!!! Embrace your greatest desires wholeheartedly, knowing that you have the support of the Universe and your angels... Your Light is shining brightly...what will you choose to cast your Light upon?  The FREEDOM to choose is yours...
Blessed be...


Rewards

Your card today is from the fractal art deck 'Divine Guidance', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  The card that flew out of the deck for you is the 'Rewards' card.  I currently own two fractal art decks and am excited that Cheryl has released a new fractal art deck this month, which I will definitely be adding to my repertoire!  I find Cheryl's fractal oracle cards to be of a very high vibration, and when I lay my hand upon them I can literally feel the energy emanating from them!  Remember that everything that exists consists of fractal geometry, including our DNA!  And, as 'everything is energy', each of these art forms carries it's own energy and message for you, as created through the intuitive gift of Cheryl.
Cheryl's message for you about this card is:
"We have lift-off!  Energetically and physically, things are about to take-off in your world.  Hold on to your hat.  All your hard work is about to pay off.  Whatever your venture is right now, there is a great movement coming.  Things are about to sky-rocket for you.  Good things do come and this is your time to enjoy them.  You have done the work, now it is time to reap the rewards.  Congratulations!"

My message for you today is this:
Consider the first thing that came to mind as you read Cheryl's message for you, above.  I mean the FIRST thing that came to mind, and do not allow yourself to 'change it up' by rationalizing that it may be to big or small to pertain to this message!  No matter the 'magnitude' of the situation or relationship or circumstance that this message relates to, this is an impactful message for you today, if you allow yourself to fully receive it!  You know what I mean...KNOW that you are worthy of the good coming your way, and allow yourself to fully EMBRACE it and to even REVEL in it!  Feel the JOY of it!
Do not limit yourself to believing that this REWARD has to present itself in a certain way...just acknowledge the BOUNTY once you recognize it, DELIGHT in it, and then give GRATITUDE to the Universe for the experience (the Universe LOVES gratitude!)  Keep your expectations positive and let's see what the Universe has in store for you!
Blessed be...

Crown Chakra & Manifestation Power

Two cards jumped together out of the 'Angel Therapy' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. 
The 'Crown Chakra' card has this message on it:
"Pay attention to your ideas, as they are messages of true Divine guidance sent in answer to your prayers."
The 'Manifestation Power' card has this message on it:
"Use your spiritual gifts and natural abilities to attract your desired outcome."

My message for you today is this:
Two complimentary and powerful cards came forward to round out what have been positive messages for you this past week!  In this particular deck of Doreen's, she includes in the guidebook action steps aligned with each card.  I feel it is important to share the action steps Doreen suggests for your cards today...
Crown Chakra Action Steps:
"Archangel Uriel (whose name means 'He who is Divine light') is the angel of Divine wisdom and knowledge.  Sit quietly and say:
     'Archangel Uriel, I call upon you now to clear and balance my crown chakra.  I ask for             your assistance in boosting my belief and faith in the ideas that come to me.  Help me
      in responsibly following through with my Divinely guided ideas.'
Manifestation Power Action Steps:
"Think about a situation you would like to improve; and write, draw, or create a collage that describes the preferred scenario.  Look at this depiction of your desires daily, and don't worry about 'how' they'll manifest.  Anytime you catch yourself worrying about or doubting your manifestation abilities, say:
     'Archangel Jophiel, the angel of beauty, please beautify my thoughts about my desires 
      so that they're completely based in love.'

Not every card in this deck is aligned with an Archangel as these two are...so, once again you have the support and encouragement of Divine 'powerhouses' with you today!  Of course, it isn't necessary to use the exact words indicated by Doreen when you invoke these Archangels to assist you, nor are you restricted to calling them in for the purposes that Doreen has outlined... The Action Steps above are intended as guidelines only, for ways that you can work with these Archangels.  Remember too, the power of your INTENTION...  You have been reminded all week that the power IS within you, and to have faith and trust in your Higher Self.  With these two cards presenting TOGETHER today, that message is undeniable!  While I certainly don't know a great deal about astrological energies, I know that I am sensitive to them, and those who ARE 'in the know' have been indicating that we are in a strong period of manifestation at this time...we are being supported cosmically at this time in bringing our desires to fruition!  So, take the time to discern what it IS that you desire, be CLEAR about what you INTEND to manifest, and call on the Divine support available to you!  I am excited for you!  How will you Shine your Light?
Blessed be...

Honesty

We've had such strong female spiritual figures come forward for you in your cards this week that I decided to draw from the 'Mary, Queen of Angels' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue for your reading today.  The card that was drawn for you is the 'Honesty' card and the message on the card is this:
"I am in touch with my true feelings regarding this situation."

This is my message for you today:
I have been blessed to have felt the warm, gentle, nurturing presence of Mother Mary at special moments in my life.  Her energy is very maternal, and so, not only is her presence infused with unconditional love energy, but her spirit is such that you also feel the strength within her persona.  I have had experiences in my own life where she has leant that strength to me, at times when I could not find it within myself...  Mother Mary is the epitome of 'there is strength in gentleness'...strength is NOT only exhibited through acts of aggression.  True self-empowerment is NEVER reached through seeking to overpower another, as I have expressed many times before...
Mother Mary's message for you today, is one of trusting in that 'knowing' aspect of yourself...this is truly your Higher Self communicating with you.  Be honest with yourself, first and foremost.  Is there some situation in your life where you have been denying or ignoring what your intuition or guidance has been expressing to you?  If there is a scenario currently playing out in your life that is causing you some confusion, annoyance or even anger, ask yourself what is underlying these feelings...this is not to say that your feelings are right or wrong, for they are serving as a guidance system causing you to delve further into WHY you are feeling them.  Mother Mary will support you in acknowledging your feelings, and then she will guide you in approaching the situation from an insightful, self-empowered place, rather than a reactionary, antagonistic stance.
Remember, we have been encouraged all week to step into our power and to really go for whatever brings joy to our heart and fills our Soul, so this is not a message of compliance, but rather one of moving forward in a positive, authentic way from that elevated perspective that best serves us...  When we trust in our Higher Self guidance, it does not mean that there may not still be a few bumps in the road, but we will navigate those bumps more comfortably and with the fortitude necessary in traveling that path, all the while supported by the Universe and Spirit, if we just ASK for that assistance!
Blessed be...

Isis ~ Balance Career and Home Life

Your card today is drawn from the 'Ascended Masters' deck authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Isis ~ Balance Career and Home Life' card.  Doreen's message about the  Ascended Master, Isis, is this:
"Isis demonstrated a perfectly balanced life as a great spiritual teacher and devoted wife and mother (to Osiris and Horus, respectively).  Isis is a much-revered Egyptian goddess who symbolizes feminine strength and power.  She can help you find enough time and energy to enjoy all aspects of your life, if you'll ask for her assistance."

My message for you today is this:
Another powerful feminine figure shares a message with us today!  Wow!  The theme this week has ABSOLUTELY been to acknowledge and accept that we have it within us to orchestrate how we navigate our way throughout our life, despite the circumstances that we may find ourselves in.  When we drop into 'victimhood', we are not residing in our 'Higher Self' energy...this observation is NOT coming from a place of judgment, but rather, as a reminder that we CAN empower ourselves by choosing where we will place our focus and energy at times in our lives.  We all have obligations and commitments in this physical life, but seldom are the circumstances of our lives so out of control that we can't choose to make even subtle changes that will bring some balance to how we approach our days. Although the title of this card states 'Balance Career and Home Life', I see it as a broader message, about finding time to spend in embracing our spiritual selves amid the mundane aspects of our lives.  To a certain extent, we can choose where we will place our energy, and when we take the time to honour our spiritual selves, we only enhance our approach to the other aspects of our lives...everyone around us benefits when we seek to balance ourselves, therefore it is far from a selfish act to seek balance!
With the current energetic shift that we are in, as we move from the masculine, competitive societal dynamic of the past to the feminine, cooperative societal dynamic of the future, it is no wonder that these strong feminine spiritual teachers, leaders and energies present themselves to support and encourage us on our journey!
Blessed be...

Passion

Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Passion' card and the message on the card is this:
"Archangel Haniel:  Trust and follow your renewed passion in your love life and career."

My message for you today is this:
The Archangel who has stepped forward for you today is Archangel Haniel, whose name means 'Glory of God'.  I just love how the Universe works...here we are in the Super Moon full moon energy of last night, and Haniel, who is aligned with the energy of 'cycles',  as well as the crystal 'Moonstone', is the Archangel who is presenting for us at this time!!! Glorious!!!
Haniel is encouraging you to step into your passion at this time...what makes joy and rapture rise up in your heart?  This is what you truly need to cultivate right now...
You have done the work of releasing what no longer serves you and now Haniel is supporting you in pursuing what your Spirit is urging you to embrace.  As stated so often previously, we are in the intense manifestation energy of 2013 and within that energy we are being solicited to walk our Soul's path in a conscious way...'playing it safe' is no longer in alignment with the energies of the planet at this time.  Remember that YOU CHOSE to be here at this time, in part because it is a time of rapid Soul progression, and so, although you may experience moments of discomfort you also have the potential for experiencing moments of extreme growth and elation as you journey forward.  As you reach for your Higher Self and the guidance and support available to you, you best serve your life purpose, which is ultimately just advancing your Soul and making a consummate contribution to society in a way that feels joy-filled.  This is another very positive message of Soul fulfillment for us today...How will you be of service in a way that nourishes your heart and soul?  Ask Archangel Haniel to assist you with this mission.
Blessed be...

Blessed Change & Empowerment

The two cards that came forward for you today are the 'Blessed Change' card and the 'Empowerment' card, both from the 'Magical Mermaids and Dolphins' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.
Doreen's message for the 'Blessed Change' card is:
"A major life change brings you great blessings.  Although you may feel that your life is upside down right now, everything that's occurring is for the best.  This card assures you that the changes in your life are actually helping you leave behind that which no longer serves you.  Your spiritual purpose with the old situations is now complete.  You're urged to stay centered in grace and acceptance..."
Doreen's message for the 'Empowerment' card is:
"You're more powerful than you realize.  It's safe for you to be powerful!"

My message for you today is this:
This is such a great way to begin our week!  Two powerful and positive cards coming forward for you today!!!  We are all firmly in the accelerated transformative energy of 2013, where many of us are feeling compelled to make changes in our lives for our 'greater good', and are then witnessing those changes happening very quickly!  For some of us, change has visited us in ways that we had not expected and would even say that we had not invited!!!  Your message today is to recognize that although you may be in a period of 'chaos', you WILL come out of this and you WILL feel empowered, moving forward.  You are now shifting into that positive!!!  
Intriguing that these cards come to light for you today when we are in full moon energy---in fact, 'Super Moon' energy! Elizabeth Peru, an Australian spiritual leader, whose newsletter I was introduced to by a client, has this to say about the our Super Moon energy over the next 48 hours:
"What a power packed punch this full moon is offering everyone!  Coupled with other significant celestial happenings today, your freedom loving ability to get up and speak out is activated.  Please use this rush to move forward confidently with whatever projects are important to you now.
Being a SUPER MOON (Moon is closest to Earth all month) this full moon is super charged (as was last month's super moon and the one in May.  This is the third and final in a super moon in a row)...
Think back to February 2013.

What were you beginning at this time?  What new approaches to living were you implementing and what seeds did you plant, and then start acting on?
You should see the culmination of these dreams now, as you are able to enjoy the richness of the fruit you began to cultivate six months ago."
I read this report, AFTER pulling your cards for today, but they align so well with what Elizabeth is saying...You can subscribe to Elizabeth's newsletter yourself by visiting her website:  www.deltawaves.com
I have spoken before about how full moon energy is excellent for releasing any old or negative energy that no longer serves us...well here you have an amazing super moon to facilitate that releasement for you, which then allows you to move forward with the new and exciting that awaits, and that you have had a hand in creating!  Embrace the possibilities and the positive empowering energies moving in as you release any energy that has been 'holding you back'!  As your cards have said, even if your existing circumstances feel 'less than comfortable', understand that you ARE shifting toward a better circumstance, and that the 'chaos' had its purpose in moving you forward...
Empowerment means literally that the power is WITHIN you...And so it is!
Blessed be...

Self-Reliance 2!

Your card today is from the 'Healing With the Fairies' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The card that FLEW out of the deck for you today is the 'Self-Reliance' card. The message that Doreen has for you about this card is this:
"You are your own best friend, and you can provide for yourself emotionally and physically."
The affirmation that Doreen gives us relating to this card is:
"I am tuned in to my inner source of direction.  I confidently rely upon this inner source to guide me perfectly."

My message for you today is this:
What is so fascinating about this card flying out for you today is that I have pulled this card for you before (I know this, because I have a file of the pictures that I take of the cards I have drawn for you, so that I can import the image above your reading)! Just imagine the odds of that happening?!?  Most decks have a minimum of 40-ish cards in them, and I own a proliference of decks (more than 20!), so for this card to come forward today means we really need to PAY ATTENTION!!  Remember, there ARE no coincidences!
Each card within a deck, and in fact the deck itself, carries a certain energy...but we have talked previously about how EVERYTHING is energy, and energy does not remain stagnant...it is in a state of motion.  While the 'core' energy of a card will remain the same, there will subtle differences in the card and its messages from day to day, just as there will be subtle differences in the energy that YOU are bringing to the reading from day to day.
Also, although I do this daily card reading as a message for those of you who visit this site and I truly believe that whomever is drawn to visit here will benefit from the message that day, I also understand that the message will be received differently by each visitor, in a way that will best serve that individual.  So...same card reading...same message...slightly different 'take' on it, depending on the circumstances within an individual's life.  Remember that, when you are doing card readings for yourself, the messages about the cards in the guidebook are indicative of the 'general' energy of the card, but that the message that that card is bringing forward for you is unique to you...use your intuition and trust what your guidance is telling you when you first look at the card.  What draws your attention in the image on the card?  Which words, in particular, stand out to you as you read through the message? You get the idea...  I truly believe that this card came forward in part today, so that we could address this...if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me by email on the 'Contact Me' page.  
So...on to the actual message!  All week your cards have really been about trusting in yourself and understanding that all that you need to move forward is available to you, and now, as the week draws to a close, this is being affirmed yet again!   Your spiritual connection is strong and you can rely on this to support you as you take guided action toward your goal(s).  The message is also to be cognizant of those in your life whose negativity may be holding you back...  DO NOT allow this to happen!  As the message above says, 'You are your own best friend', so surround yourself with those who see your potential, and LET YOUR LIGHT SHINE!!!
Blessed be...

King of Fire

Your card today is drawn from the 'Angel Tarot Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue & Radleigh Valentine.  The card drawn for you is the 'King of Fire' card...the suit of fire is described by Doreen &  Radleigh in this way in the guidebook:
"The suit of fire represents our ideas and inspirations.  It's where we feel passion, display amazing creativity, and set our dreams into motion.  This element corresponds to our career, art, adventure, risk taking, and self-development.  Fire can also represent any of our passions..."
The key words listed on your card today are: "Motivational, Idealistic, Ambitious, Charismatic".
The message on your card is:
"Focus, focus, focus!  Communicate with vision, and be a leader.  Advice from someone creative."

My message for you today is this:
The Tarot has long been used as a tool of divination, and has proven to be very accurate, but some have been intimidated by the symbology and 'to the point' messages in the cards.  So, Doreen & Radleigh (Radleigh has more than 20 years experience working with the Tarot) conspired to create a deck using the format of the Tarot, but infusing it with a gentle, angelic means of communicating your messages to you...The Tarot consists of 2 components:  the Major Arcana and the Minor Arcana.  The Major Arcana is comprised of 22 cards that relate to major issues or incidents in our lives. The Minor Arcana incorporates 4 suits representing the elements of earth, air, water and fire, and the messages from these cards embrace the energies associated with that element.
The element infused in your message today is the element of fire, and as you've no doubt guessed, this is not a 'passive' element!  You have been advised this week that you ARE receiving guidance and now you are being encouraged to take action...  What is it that you feel passionate about?  What 'lights your fire'?  You are being advised to take action steps in pursuing your passion and to be open and honest with others about your convictions.  You may inspire others to pursue their passions also, when they see how 'fired up' you get, and how this enhances your life!  Remember that being a leader does not always mean taking center stage...sometimes the best leaders lead by example... You can serve as  a leader in even the mundane aspects of life...
An example that comes to mind, because we are currently in our 'summer holiday' time of year, is that you fully and enthusiastically embrace your holiday situation this summer, whatever it may be for you...  You just relish in the experience of relaxing and giving that rejuvenating experience to yourself, and then you share with a friend how great you felt after spending a blissful time waterskiing or hiking or horseback riding, (insert a joyfilled activity here).  Your friend sees the positive effects that taking this time for self has had on you and feels inspired to make that time for his/herself also...  It really can be that simple...
You've inspired someone to follow their passion in a way that will enhance their life...
This is not to say that you are not meant to take on a more 'front and center' leadership role...perhaps you are...  What is your guidance telling you?
 Personally, I am making the final arrangements today for a spiritual conference I will be attending in Sedona, Arizona this fall.  I am SO excited about this upcoming event and am definitely 'fired up' about it! I will be taking the action steps of finalizing plans for that event today.  
Where has your guidance been leading you?  Today you are being urged to take action steps in a focused way, knowing that you are supported in doing so!
Blessed be...

Brilliant Idea!

Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel Oracle Cards' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Brilliant Idea!' card, and the message on the card is this:
"Archangel Uriel: Yes, your idea is Divinely guided...please take action to bring your idea to fruition."

My message for you today is this:
Wow!  AGAIN with the message to pay attention to and follow the guidance you have been receiving!!!  It's almost as if we're being 'slapped upside the head' with this! (Of course, your angels would never do such a thing! ;-)  Let's just say that we'd better take notice!  Whatever it is that you have been asking for guidance about in your life lately, whether a 'big' or 'small' issue, take notice of your 'gut feelings' regarding the issue, and also REALLY PAY ATTENTION to  messages coming forward for you in various ways... You are absolutely being Divinely guided and trust that this is so...  When you notice and receive a message (which can be sent to you in a myriad of ways), give thanks to the angels for their presence in your life (the Universe LOVES gratitude!).   Remember that the angels are often subtle in their communication with you...and that, because they KNOW you, they will send the message to you in the way that you can best recognize and receive...  Let's say that you are musically inclined for instance...perhaps you are thinking about a certain issue in your life, and just as you turn on the radio a song is playing with words that relate to your issue...PAY ATTENTION!  Throughout your day, every time you glance at the clock it reads in recurring numbers (ie. 9:99, 11:11, 8:88)...there is no coincidence...PAY ATTENTION!
In truth, any time that something captures your attention, beyond the usual attention you would afford it, and you just have a sense that it 'means' something, PAY ATTENTION!
Archangel Uriel, whose name means 'God is Light', has stepped forward for you today to further assist you in receiving angelic communication...  You know that Archangels are a very high vibrational energy that have the ability to bi-locate (be with multiple Souls simultaneously), and so by asking Archangel Uriel to be with you, you are not keeping him from being with another Soul.  Call on Archangel Uriel today to facilitate your perceiving the Divine guidance being offered you...You could use the following invocation, or any words or thoughts that feel right to you:
"Archangel Uriel, I call on you now to assist me in being open to, understanding, and receiving the Divine guidance being offered to me.  I say 'thanks', I say 'Amen'."
Archangel Uriel's aura has been experienced by many as pale yellow in colour and the crystal often associated with his energy is 'amber', so perhaps you'd like to carry or wear an amber crystal with you as you work with Archangel Uriel.  You ARE guided and supported in your life, but due to 'free will', you need to ASK, and then of course, be OPEN to RECEIVE, TRUST what you are receiving and take GUIDED ACTION...
Blessed be...

Trustworthy Guidance

Your card today is drawn from the 'Daily Guidance from Your Angels' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  The card that dropped out of the deck for you is the 'Trustworthy Guidance' card, and the message on the card is:
"You've received a wonderful idea as an answer to your prayers.  This idea is real and trustworthy.  You can safely move forward with it, knowing that we are with you every step of the way.  Ask for and be open to receiving our support for anything that you need related to this idea."

My message for you is this:
This is affirmation for you that you ARE in communication with your Guardian Angel(s) and Spirit Guide(s).  Your card yesterday was from your Guardian Angel, reassuring you of this and then further validation comes for you in your card today!  How can you possibly have any doubt??? Remember that your angel's communication with you is very subtle, and will come to you in various ways...
When you 'hear' communication from your Higher Self, it comes to you in 'the third person', and this is how you can best distinguish it from your own 'thoughts' or what your 'ego' has to say to you... Sentences usually begin with the words, 'you' or 'we', and you just have a sense that 'someone else' is talking to you, even though you are 'hearing' it in your own voice, inside your head.  My guides and angels often refer to me as 'my child' or 'dear one' when they are conveying their messages to me...yours will address you in the way they know you will best receive...
Sometimes you just have a 'knowing' about something and you can't explain why...you 'just know' that you are meant to do something and it feels completely right...Trust in this, as this is also trustworthy guidance from your Higher Self...  Some refer to it as a 'gut feeling'... Always trust in your gut feelings!!
Your guides and angels also like to communicate to you through symbols, such as repetitive number sequences, feathers or items significant to you found in unusual places, cloud formations in the sky that draw your attention, etc...Perhaps a billboard draws your attention to convey just the right words in answer to a question you have been mulling about...You get the idea...
Really, it is just about being open to the communication, and then trusting and allowing it when it happens...having FAITH that you ARE making the connection...
Your card today is telling you that you HAVE received a message recently regarding a circumstance currently happening in your life, and that you need to trust in that message to move forward in the best possible way...you are being Divinely guided and supported...
Blessed be...

Practice

Your card today is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is the 'Practice Makes Perfect' card, and your Guardian Angel has stepped forward with this message for you today.  Doreen's message for you is:
"Practice, practice, practice...that's the message that your Guardian Angel has for you."

My message for you today is this:
Your Guardian Angel is first and foremost making his/her presence known to you today, and reminding you of that beautiful, encouraging guidance and support that is always available to you... 
Guardian Angels are gifts to us from the Creator to support us on our life journey...they align with us at conception and NEVER leave us, no matter what.  They are high vibration beings who have never been in physical form.  They present themselves to us in a way that we can relate to and best receive...as either male or female and in a form that we can recognize on a Soul level.  For instance, one of my Guardian Angels, Isabelle, presents herself to me in Victorian style of dress, with her hair in a high bun and she has a 'school marmish' energy about her...this makes complete sense to me, because the role of 'teacher' has been prevalent in my life, and she is there, in part, to assist me with that.  In truth, your Guardian Angel is neither male or female, but they embrace an image to better communicate with you while you are on this Earthly realm.  Occasionally, people have asked me if a deceased loved one could be their Guardian Angel...my belief system, and experience is that, while they DO visit us, and act as a support system, rather like an 'angel',  to us at times in our lives, they are NOT our actual Guardian Angels...  It takes a LOT of effort for our crossed-over loved ones to lower their vibration to make themselves known to us in our physical world, for one thing.  Also, our Guardian Angels are of a very high vibration, which allows them to be with us 24/7, and to also see what is happening in our lives  from an 'elevated viewpoint' so to speak...
Your Guardian Angel wants you to acknowledge that, as in any relationship, the time and effort that you put into developing that relationship deepens it...  Today, you are gently reminded to take the time to consciously connect with your Guardian Angel...the more you do so, the easier it is to know and sense when you are making that connection.  Your Guardian Angels are held to the same Universal Laws as all angels, and so due to 'free will', they are unable to intervene in your life without your asking them...  In order to make the connection with your Guardian Angel, you must ASK.  It is really that simple...
They DESIRE to be there for you...it is their mission and purpose, after all!  There are various guided meditation CD's available to assist you, but in truth, all that you need to do is to set the intention, quiet yourself, and then trust, allow and believe... When you are connecting, you will experience a subtle sense of serenity and 'knowing', and just PEACE...  There is no doubt that you HAVE ALREADY been in communication with your Guardian Angel...allow some memories of such instances to float back to you...
Today, your Guardian Angel is asking you to engage in the practice of 'consciously connecting', rather than just experiencing random communications...make the time and effort to develop this relationship that is a beautiful, loving support for you...  
Blessed be...

Talents - Rhodonite

Your card today is drawn from the 'Crystal Ally Cards' deck, authored by Naisha Ahsian.
Naisha is the co-author of the crystal reference book, 'The Book of Stones', with Robert Simmons.  I use the guidebook to this deck as a reference tool, also, regarding crystal energy.  Your card is the 'Talents' card, which is aligned with the crystal 'Rhodonite'.  
Rhodonite is pink to tan in color and its energy is that of promoting self love and acceptance which then allows you to share your unique talents and abilities with others for the greater good of all. Naisha advises in her guidebook which chakra each crystal is most aligned with energetically, and also provides us with an affirmation in working with each crystal...
Chakras:  Heart and Solar Plexus
Affirmation:  "In sharing my talents and skill, I strengthen myself and my connection to all that is." 

My message for you today is this:
So, Rhodonite encompasses the energy of self-love, then expressed outwardly through acts of service.  What talents did you incarnate with that can be used to assist others on this life journey?  Rhodonite will assist you in recognizing your individual gifts and abilities, and will lend you the support to utilize these gifts in the path of service.  No being humble here!  Step into your power, and in fact your responsibility, to make your contribution to your world in the ways that only you can!  This is true when you find yourself in challenging times, and in times of great joy, also...  My Mom advised me that, when I was struggling in my life, I could help myself to feel better and stronger by supporting someone else, rather than focusing on my own distress.  Wise words from a wise woman.  The first time I remember hearing these words from her was when my beloved Grandad (her father), whom I had a very loving relationship with, passed away, when I was 14 years old. I remember saying to my Mom that I didn't know how I could cope with his loss, the pain was so deep... My Mom advised me to focus on how I could support my Nanny (what we called my Grandma) through her loss, rather than focus on my own loss...  That's when I began to do my Nanny's hair for her, (I loved to style and cut hair)  and was told that I had an 'eye' for it; and because both my Nanny and I had a love of words and poetry, as well as a love of history, we spent many hours together in discussion about such things...  Sure enough, as I 'shared my talents' and focussed on being of service, my pain became more tolerable.  Perhaps you are great at organizing; or working with numbers; or you are musically inclined; or you have a knack for sewing, knitting, baking; etc...  You get the idea!  How can you best share your talent?  You were given these particular gifts for a reason!  
Rhodonite is here for you today, asking you to acknowledge what it is that 'you are good at' and to then share it with others from a heart-centered place of service...
Blessed be...

Be Willing to Forgive

Your card today is drawn from the 'Angel Therapy' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.
The card that fell out of the deck for you is the 'Be Willing to Forgive' card.  This deck is a powerful deck with action steps, and often prayers, included in the guidebook for each card. 
The message on the card is this:
"Ask the angels to clear your mind and body of past pain in exchange for peacefulness." Archangels Michael and Raphael are strongly aligned with this deck as they are powerful angelic healers and messengers...  For your card today, Archangel Raphael has stepped forward to be with you.  The prayer that Doreen suggests that you use to invoke Archangel Raphael's assistance is this:
"Archangel Raphael, I call upon you now.  I am willing to forgive (name of person, organization, or situation) and release all stored-up anger from my physical, mental and emotional bodies.  I am willing to release pain, in exchange for peace."

My message for you today is this:
We all have people or situations in our lives that have caused us pain...the message for you today is that, in embracing the energy of forgiveness you DO NOT DENY the painful experience but you make a conscious choice not to RESIDE in it.  We embrace forgiveness for our own good...  There is a saying, "I forgive not for others, but for myself."  By residing in a place of pain you disempower yourself and give power to the person or situation that hurt you.  When you hold on to the pain, you affect your physical, mental and emotional bodies, so it serves you to forgive in every way.
It is important to acknowledge that there are many levels of forgiveness, also...  When we have suffered great pain, we are unlikely to leap directly from that place of pain to complete forgiveness...it is a process...  Know that each step you take toward forgiveness is a step in the right direction.  Be gentle with yourself and call on the support of your angels and Archangel Raphael to assist you on this path. It is not necessary to use the prayer above...use whatever words feel right for you...it is the INTENTION behind your words that holds the power for invoking angelic assistance.  CONSCIOUSLY invoke the assistance you seek...breathe in Archangel Raphael's healing energy, and breathe out the unforgiveness or resentment energy.  Acknowledge also, that you may never 'understand' why the painful event happened, and that it is not necessary to do so in  order to embody forgiveness. Our perspective from this Earthly realm is limited.  Give yourself the gift of forgiveness for the greater good of all...
Blessed be...

Support & Trust

Thank you for your patience while I was away on holiday with some of my family this past week!  It was a wonderful time, but I am excited to be back posting!

Two cards dropped out of the 'Healing With the Angels' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue...  It has been a powerful week of strong emotion...Mercury is in retrograde, as well as the New Moon on July 8th, so it is no surprise that two cards with messages that you are not alone on your journey have come forward for you...  You have had the 'Trust' in a previous reading, but by aligning with the 'Support' card, the message is slightly different for you today...
In her guidebook, Doreen has this message for the 'Support' card:
"God, the angels, and the Ascended Masters who love, protect and guide you are watching over you right now.  You are not alone, and you are safe!"
And Doreen has this message for the 'Trust' card:
"Believe in yourself and have faith that God and the angels are with you.  Ask them to help you lose the fears that block you from enjoying full faith."  

My message for you today is this:
Above all else, know and TRUST that, even in times of strife, you are SUPPORTED...
The angels, your own personal Guardian Angels, the Archangels, the Ascended Masters (such as Jesus, Mother Mary, Buddha...) are all there for you to support and guide you in all aspects of your Earthly experience, whether challenging or joyous.  They are powerful gifts from our loving Creator to support us on our life journey...  We need only ask, and then allow their loving energy to surround us and to strengthen us...  Trust that you are unconditionally loved and supported and that you have it within you to embrace all experiences along your life path with grace, if not understanding... Life is often a mystery...
Our earthly perspective sometimes struggles in understanding life circumstances that we encounter...these are the times when the need for FAITH is greatest, as well as the knowing that we are not alone...  The energy of Divine Love is only a heartfelt request away...allow yourself to dwell in its' loving embrace. Take a moment to sit quietly and to envision the white Light of Divine Love encompassing you and permeating you, chasing away any darkness, because darkness cannot exist where there is Light... Feel your Soul being nourished... Reside for a time in that peace, regardless of extenuating circumstances that may surround you.  Give yourself this gift, knowing that by replenishing your Soul in such a way, you are better able to move forward in the way that you are meant to...
Blessed be...

Family Holiday

I will be vacationing in BC with my family from July 3-9, and will not be posting your daily card reading during that time, as I will not always have access to internet...
Look back here on July 10th, for your next daily card reading...

Blessings to you!

Fertile

Your card today is drawn from the 'Path of the Soul' fractal art deck, authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish.  This is the #12 card, entitled 'Fertile', and the message Cheryl has in the guidebook for you is this:
"This is the card of creation and fertility.  Although it can signify the possibility of a pregnancy, it usually appears as encouragement to begin taking action.  Now is the time to start the groundwork for your deepest inner desires, dreams, ideas or plans.  All the conditions are right for setting things in motion; to bring things from the world of thought into form."

My message for you today is this:
I just LOVE how the Universe truly does support and guide us when we are open to it, and how it 'all comes together' in a theme each week for your daily card readings!!!  Yesterday, you were advised to 'go within' and today you are being asked to 'take action', based on your inner desires!   Know that you are supported energetically in taking the action steps necessary in moving toward your goals and dreams...even baby steps are still steps!
The number '12' in Angel Numbers means:
"Keep your thoughts positive about the future, as what you are thinking influences your future.  This is a message to keep your faith and hope strong, because these are strong determining factors right now."
Again...BELIEVE...words and thoughts have energy, so be in a state of trusting that 'all is well' as you take the necessary action, having already spent the time to go within and determine what feels and is right for you...
Blessed be...

To be sure of the road...

Your card for July 1st is drawn from the 'Healing Cards' deck, authored by Caroline Myss and Peter Occhiogrosso.  Your card is number 38 in the deck and the message on the card says:
"To be sure of the road, close your eyes and walk in the dark.  Spiritually closing your eyes permits Heaven to enact the most wonderful guidance in your life.  Say the prayer, 'Open a new road to me today,' and expect the unexpected. When it appears, accept the gift."

My message for you today is this:
To 'spiritually close your eyes' means to go inward and to listen to the guidance from within, rather than to make your choices based on the physical evidence being presented to you.  Choose with your heart and your gut, rather than your head...  Trust in the guidance that you are receiving and that you have, in fact, been praying for, and then follow the path that it leads you down, knowing that you are being Divinely supported along the way...
Blessed be...
