Your card to close out the week is drawn from the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Blossoming' card, which is aligned with the Goddess 'Aeracura'. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"You are just getting started, so have patience with yourself and the process, and do not give up."
My message for you today is this:
The Goddess, Aeracura, (pronounced Air-uh-CURE-uh) has stepped forward for you today to assist you with your aspirations and dreams and also with obstacles that may be deterring you from reaching for your dreams (at least from your perspective!) Aeracura will support you in understanding that we needlessly stress ourselves, at times, rather than accessing the Divine support that is available for us. Call upon this beautiful Celtic and Germanic Goddess to assist you in moving forward with ease and grace. Aeracura says to you...'Keep the faith'! The new skills that you are being encouraged to develop will serve you and your Soul's purpose very well in the future, so just relax into it, knowing that this is all 'part of the greater plan'... You cannot 'push' a flower to blossom...it happens gradually and in its own time...but each unfurling of a petal is a beautiful step toward revealing the incredible potential and beauty of the flower in full bloom! Keep in mind that, in each stage of the unfurling, you are still in a state of 'blossoming'! Embrace the process, knowing that you are fully supported, if you just ask!
Blessed be...
Your card today is drawn from the fractal art deck, 'Path of the Soul', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is the 'Creation' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"You are a creator! When this card appears, it signifies a strengthening in your energetic field to bring those things which you require into physical manifestation. Creation is happening quickly, from thought into form. Be conscious of what thoughts you are having. The time between the thought and its appearance in the physical will be quick. Now is the time to get clear about what you desire in your life. The universal energies are working with you to bring your desires to fruition."
This card is the number 1 card in the deck and the number 1 in Doreen Virtue's book, 'Angel Numbers 101' defines the message for the number 1 as this:
"Stay positive. Everything you're thinking about right now is coming true, so be sure that you're only thinking about what you desire. Give any fears to God and the angels."
My message for you today is this:
Be in the positive, knowing that when you believe that 'all is well', that is the energy that you are attracting to yourself and thereby residing in. As has been pointed out to you already this week, your power is in the present moment...so choose in the present moment to hold positive expectations and the knowing that all that you need is already here for you right NOW! I used to have a favorite saying hanging up in my classroom when I was teaching grade five..."Give the world the best you have to give and the best will come back to you!" I STILL love that quote, and it is appropriate to your message today.
You are a magnificent creation and a magnificent co-creator! Give the best of yourself and expect that you will receive the same in kind. Give any anxieties over to your guides and angels and ask them to assist you with putting your best foot forward. The Universe truly wishes only the best for us...it is our fears and anxieties that block the flow of all the good that is available for us. Choose today to step out of the lower energy of fear and into the higher vibration of faith! You are clearly supported in doing so!
Blessed be...
P.S.... I HAD TO SHARE THIS...
I just now (3:00 in the afternoon) had the chance to log into the daily meditation that I have been doing with Deepak Chopra and Oprah...'Desire and Destiny'...and today's theme for the meditation is 'Creative Me'!!! The 'Creation' card, stating that 'you are a creator' comes forward for you in today's reading, and that is also the theme for the daily meditation!!
Oh the synchronicity of it all! LOVE IT!! THANK YOU, UNIVERSE!
I HAVE ARRIVED BACK TO OUR HOME IN CANADA (AS OF 2 A.M. THIS MORNING)! MY HUSBAND AND I LOVED OUR TIME IN ARIZONA, BUT IT FEELS GOOD TO BE HOME NOW! MY APOLOGIES FOR THE BREVITY OF YESTERDAY'S DAILY CARD READING...I HAD SOME 'TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES' GOING ON, AND IT WAS AN EXTREMELY BUSY DAY PREPARING TO RETURN HOME AFTER A COUPLE OF MONTHS AWAY!
Your card today is drawn from the 'Archangel' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Victory!' card, which is aligned with the energy of Archangel Sandalphon, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Your prayers have been heard and answered. Have faith."
My message for you today is this:
Archangel Sandalphon is one of two Archangels who lived a mortal life on Earth so Divine in nature, that he was ascended to become an Archangel (the other is Metatron). During his earthly existence, Sandalphon was known as the prophet Elijah. Many experience Sandalphon's aura as turquoise in color, and the crystal, turquoise, is said to align well with his energy. Sandalphon works with us to assist us to walk in integrity and to utilize and implement our spiritual gifts. He will help us to stand in our truth, though not from an aggressive, confrontational standpoint but rather in a way that comes from a 'place of service', and is therefore beneficial to all.
Sandalphon has revealed himself to you today to affirm that you deserve the success that you are currently experiencing, or that will soon be coming to you...he asks that you fully embrace the 'present moment' and allow yourself to fully appreciate all that is being offered to you. Know that this victory that you are or will be experiencing is also of benefit to those whose lives you touch! Be assured that 'all is well' and that your commitment and labour have been recognized and are resulting in the success you seek!
Blessed be...
Are we still in Mercury Retrograde? I was unable to upload the pic of your card today, even though I did it as I always do...hmmmm....interesting!
Your card today is drawn from the first deck I owned, the 'Messages From Your Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card today is the 'Arielle' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"New psychic and spiritual experiences are changing the way you view the world and yourself. Allow your spiritual gifts to open---through study, prayer, and meditation."
The hibiscus bloom in the photo above was plucked from one of our hibiscus bushes in our back yard here in Arizona...after the past couple days of rain and the return today of sunshine, there are now a proliferance of blooms on the bush...beautiful!
Your card today is drawn from the 'Universal Laws of Conscious Creation' deck, authored by Lara Solara, Dana Da Ponte and Marlene Chapman. Your card is the 'Universal Law of Present Moment' and the author's message for the card is this:
"The Law of Present Moment states that all power is in the present. You do not have any power in the past, and you do not have any power in the future. The only time and place where you have full access to your power is in the now..."
My message for you today is this:
This deck is a fractal art deck, and when I lay my hand upon it, the message that came forward for you today is that all we ever truly have is the here and now, and when we seek to calm ourselves and to find our 'stillness within' we can only do so by fully embracing and being in the 'now'. In the deepest state of meditation, however that looks for you (working out to rock music; getting 'lost' in playing a musical instrument; dancing with abandon and joy; creating pieces of artwork through painting, sketching or sculpting; simply sitting in silence in nature; etc., etc.,), you are completely experiencing being in the NOW...you are FULLY IN THE PRESENT MOMENT. This card has come forward today to remind you that your self-empowerment resides completely in the present moment, as in those times of deep reflection.
Yet, this Law speaks to something more complex than that...we live in this physical experience and it is necessary to 'plan ahead' and to 'look to the future' in order to create the circumstances that we desire for ourselves. It is not possible for most to be in a deep meditative state at all times and still function in this world that we live in! Rather, use the power of the NOW, those moments of strong connection with SELF, and your true self-empowered state to provide you with guidance as you look to the future and what your greatest desires are for yourself. Allow yourself 'in the present moment', to reside in the energy of what your desired outcome would feel and be like, even if you are not currently truly experiencing that circumstance physically. In this way, you co-create, using the 'Law of Present Moment' and the 'Law of Attraction' to bring into your experience the circumstances that will assist you in manifesting what you desire. Bring to mind something that you desire to pull into your life experience...allow yourself to reside 'in the present moment' in what that would feel like and look like as though you were actually experiencing it now. This makes an impression upon the Universe, because the present moment is where your self-empowerment lies. Then, it is up to you to take guided action when opportunities are presented to you to assist you with the manifestation! You've heard this said so often lately...'Be present'... Be present and aware in order to PRESENT your best self to the world!
Blessed be...
P.S.!!! JUST HAD TO SHARE THIS WITH YOU!!! I LOVE THE SYNCHRONICITY IN THE UNIVERSE!!!
I was reading a posting by Wayne Dyer, who was speaking to his most recent show on Hay House radio and these words jumped out of his posting to grab my attention immediately:
"Remember, the point of power is in the present moment." THAT'S this message that came forward for you in your message today, so obviously it is a prevalent theme at the moment (pun intended)! How awesome! I say 'Thanks', I say 'Amen'!
Your card today is drawn from the fractal art deck, 'Return of Spirit', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card today is the 'Recognition' card, and Cheryl Lee's message for the card is this:
"It is important that we each feel recognized and seen for our hard work and unique contributions we make to this world. This is why the Recognition card has come to you today. The Universe does see you and all that you do. You are being given the recognition, love, and support which you deserve...Whether you are just beginning or are already working on a project or idea, be aware that the actions you take now could lead you to being recognized publicly. This could be on a small scale or with the public at large. Either way, your current efforts will be recognized in the future. No matter what it is you do or how well you feel you are doing it, Spirit is giving you a cosmic pat on the back. You have done well. Now just allow yourself to really take that in--good job You! With the empowerment you gain in feeling recognized and appreciated, you will then be given the opportunity to begin to pay it forward. Every time someone you encounter does something that impresses you, be sure to tell them. Not only will you completely make their day, but you'll be surprised how good it will make you feel as well!"
My message for you today is this:
Notice the reflective aspect in the fractal art image of this card...it is as though to symbolize that what you 'put out there' is reflected back to you, only in a slightly bigger way. That is the message that came to me for you as I lay my hand upon this fractal art card. When we are coming from a 'heart-centered place of service'...that is, when we are sharing our unique gifts and talents with the world from that Loving, giving space, we are not doing so in order to achieve recognition or accolades, yet that is when you will find the greatest compliments and positive comments will come your way from others. They sense that you are 'in your purpose'...that you are 'in your joy'...you radiate that to others and the Love that you are sharing shines through whatever it is that you are doing! You will find that you inspire others to reach for that experience for themselves when they witness it in you! You have been URGED all week to really step into all that you are and the message coming forward for you today to 'wrap up the week' is that the Universe recognizes you for doing so. I know that, for me personally, when I am given recognition for the Akashic Records consultations that I do, for instance, it has been difficult for me to receive the positive comments, at times, because I have felt as though I am dropping into Ego, which CANNOT be the energy that I am in when I am in a 'heart-centered place of service'! I have come to understand that when someone expresses recognition and appreciation for having had a consultation with me, they are reflecting back to me that they have witnessed me 'in my purpose' or 'in my joy' and are acknowledging that, and so now I receive that recogntion with gratitude. I also understand now, that as Cheryl Lee has stated in her message above, "...you will be surprised how good it will make you feel as well", when you honour another with your recognition, and it is not fair to deflect or deny the recognition that someone is expressing toward you. So...when recognition comes your way, embrace it wholeheartedly and celebrate that you are making your own unique contribution to the world as only YOU can! Openly express to others your appreciation and recognition of their contributions, also...
Blessed be...
Your card today is drawn from the 'Saints & Angels' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Confidence' card, which is aligned with the energy of St. Michael, the Archangel. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangel Michael is with you, shoring up your confidence so you can fearlessly face (and even enjoy) the tasks before you. This archangel is protecting you against negativity, helping you to remain optimistic and filled with faith, and ensuring that only people and situations of high integrity come to you."
My message for you today:
Interesting that I had contemplated using the 'Archangel Michael' deck to draw your card from for today's reading and then Archangel Michael presented himself from within the 'Saints & Angels' deck anyhow! Obviously, you were meant to hear from Archangel Michael today! Also 'synchronistic' that I had used the words to 'shore up your confidence' in a reading for you this week and now Doreen's message has the same wording for you...remember, there are no coincidences, only synchronicities! There is a definite theme presenting for you this week! You are being strongly encouraged to step into all that you are, and you have been given the support today of Archangel Michael, who is the Archangel that assists us with our life purpose. Archangel Michael is also known as the supreme protector and so, as you move forward on your path, call on him to keep everything in it's highest vibration of Love & Light. I implement Archangel Michael as my 'gatekeeper' when I am engaged in my spiritual 'work'...for example, when I am doing a consultation/reading for a client, or an event, I call on Archangel Michael and ask that I may be of the highest service to those who present to me and that 'they also be of service to me'... It took me some time to understand that I needed to include the last part in my invocation. In doing so, Archangel Michael can then act as my gatekeeper and bring before me as clients those whom I may best serve while also best serving myself. In my work, I always focus on 'coming from a heart centered place of service', which requires making myself very open and vulnerable. Call on Archangel Michael to be with you as your gatekeeper and protector so that you can CONFIDENTLY allow yourself to be open in the ways you need to be. Remember that, as an Archangel, Michael has the ability to bi-locate (to be with multiple Souls at one time) because he is not in the vibration of a physical body, so by calling him to you, you are not keeping him from being with another. Understand that, every step you take along your path is carrying you forward...do not get caught up in the angst that you are not moving forward quickly enough! Everything in good time! Archangel Michael has made it clear that his support is being offered to you today, but you must ask...angels and archangels are governed by the Universal Law of Free Will, and they cannot intervene in our lives without our permission. Ask Michael to help show you the way and when the next step is presented to you, take that step with CONFIDENCE!
Blessed be...
Lovely full moon in Taurus last evening! I also had the blessing of witnessing a meteor shooting across the sky last night...it was bright and glowing and brief! Lots of cosmic energy about!
Your card today is drawn from the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Yemanya ~ Golden Opportunity' card, and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Important doors are opening for you right now. Walk through them."
Message from Yemanya:
"Like the ocean, life moves in waves and tides. Timing is everything, so when an opportunity presents itself, you must dive in at that moment. Everything that you've done to prepare yourself will accompany you. Yet, if you hesitate or procrastinate, another opportunity will surely come along just as the tides wash in and out continuously. Like the ocean, life is rich with variety and beauty. Enjoy experiencing its various rhythms, and allow all doubts to be washed away."
My message for you today is this:
Yemanye's energy is aligned with the sea...it is believed in Brazilian lore that this goddess created the sea and so on December 31st in Brazil she is honoured in ceremony by tossing white flowers upon the sea and sending tiny boats, which carry your wishes to Yemanye, out into the waters. My son, Jayden, is living in Brazil with his beautiful Brazilian wife, Paula, and my daughter Chelsea, is going to live there in January, so the message today, and the Goddess associated with it, has personal significance to me!
As Yemanye's (the final syllable in her name is pronounced 'jee' or 'jah') energy is aligned with water energy, she has a highly maternal, nurturing way about her. Call upon Yemanye (you don't have to be in Brazil by the sea to do so!) to assist you with bringing your fondest wishes to fruition. Yamanje has presented for you today to acknowledge that this is a powerful time of manifestation for you! You have laid the groundwork and it is key to step into the opportunities that have or will soon be presenting themselves to you! Be open and confident and step through the open door, even if you do not have a complete picture of what may be waiting for you on the other side...that is called 'walking in faith'!!! Have faith!
The Universe dreams bigger dreams for us than we do for ourselves, at times... Do not allow your Ego to hold you back...ask Yemanje to 'shore' up your confidence (pun intended!) and walk through that door, head held high and heart shining brightly!
Blessed be...
Your card today is drawn from the fractal art deck, 'Path of the Soul', authored by Cheryl Lee Harnish. Your card is the 'Treasures' card, and Cheryl's message for the card is this:
"What was once hidden from view can now be seen. Laying within you are many inner treasures and gifts. This is your time of discovery. You have special and unique skills that you have hidden, like pearls in a shell. It is happening now. Stay grounded and clear. The spiral in the card shows the Universal energies are working with you to help uncover what lies within. Understand, however, that once fully uncovered, you will be asked to use these gifts in service to others and the planet."
My message for you today is this:
As I lay my left (receiving) hand upon this fractal art card, I could literally feel energy filling my hand and moving slowly up my arm and into my heart chakra...it was a warm, supporting energy that seemed to infuse me with confidence. I wanted to continue to sit there with my hand upon the card and just take in that energy, but I knew I had to convey this message to you! This is what I just love about fractal art cards...their vibration is so high that the messages and energy held within them go far beyond the words that the author has associated with them! Beautiful!
The message for you today is to honour your own unique talents and to understand that by sharing them, you honour Source energy who gifted you with your abilities with the intention that you share them to enhance all those you shine your Light upon! Acknowledging that you do INDEED have your own individual talents is NOT Egoic! When you share your gifts from a place of love, and what I call 'a heart-centered place of service', you are in your Higher Self and you are in very high vibration. You share your talents and gifts with others, lovingly and generously. You understand that you have been given these talents and gifts for a reason, and so you share them! Further to that, you know and understand that EVERYONE has their own unique talents and abilities and you honour those within them. The highest vibration is when you can give lovingly the best of yourself; honour others for their gifts and talents; and not compare or judge any individual gifts and talents as 'better or less than'...all make a valuable contribution to the mosaic!
Behind every spiritual leader or messenger is a myriad of talented people who support that spiritual leader/messenger in allowing him/her to do what they do best by employing their own talents to make it happen... For some, their special talent or ability is to create sacred space...they have the ability to find just the right space in which to hold an event, and to then organize the space in a way that is most conducive to allowing the event to unfold as it is meant to. For some, their special talent may be in employing social media to advertise or 'get the word out' about an event so that those who are meant to attend will know about it. You get the idea...there is no end to the possibilities! Whatever brings you great joy when you share it with others is what you are meant to share...you are a TREASURE! Make the commitment to share the best part of yourself whenever the opportunity presents itself...do so with LOVE, and with CONFIDENCE, knowing that you were given your gifts so that you could enhance the world in which you live, as only you can!
Blessed be...
We are closing the week with a card from the 'Gateway Oracle Cards' deck authored by the beautiful Denise Linn...I had the great pleasure of spending time with her at the Celebrate Your Life conference in Sedona and she is truly an authentic, loving Spirit! The card that leapt out of her deck for you today is the 'Communicating Freely' card, and Denise's message for the card is this:
"I communicate from the depths of my being...This isn't the time to step back--rather, it IS time to step forward and share from your heart."
My message for you today is this:
Now that you have done the work of being clear with yourself about how you are meant to best express yourself (and trust me...I understand that this 'knowing' is always morphing and evolving), you are being lovingly encouraged to now STEP confidently into doing so!
This does not mean that you need stand on a stage in front of others expounding your now clearly defined gifts and talents, or start your own radio program to share your insights! (Although both are excellent forms of expression for some!) Simply walk your walk and TALK your TALK...conduct yourself throughout the day, as best you can, authentically expressing who you are. Be brave enough to allow others to see who you SINCERELY are, understanding that sharing the best of yourself and communicating that openly can be healing and encouraging for those whose path you cross.
In addition, the energies are supporting you to express to someone what you have been holding back, and to do so from a loving place of self-expression, rather than judgment or fear. Be courageous and be YOU! You are the only one who can do that, you know!
Blessed be...
Your card today is drawn from the 'Goddess Guidance' deck, authored by Doreen Virtue. Your card is the 'Independent' card, which is aligned with the Goddess 'Bast'. Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Your independence is a foundation for your strength and success."
My message for you today is this:
Bast (the pronunciation rhymes with 'last') is an Egyptian goddess whose father is the Egyptian Sun God, Ra...her energies are aligned with both sun and moon energy, which is a rarity. It is said that this goddess shapeshifts in the night to become a protective cat, as she watches over and protects all who call upon her. Her feline qualities encompass being graceful, independent and playful, as well as having excellent nocturnal vision...the ability to 'see in the dark', metaphorically speaking.
Independence is sometimes characterized as 'detachment from others'...that is not what is being alluded to for you today... The message for you today is that, in order to make your greatest authentic contribution to society, you must be clear within yourself who you truly are, and what your gifts and talents are, independent of what others opinions or judgments may be! Do not allow others to dictate how you are meant to best express yourself in your Life...be independent in thought and follow your own internal guidance system! Call upon Bast's energy to support you and protect you as you determine for yourself, independent of outside influences, what best serves your Soul's journey. This is not to say that you completely shut out the opinions of those you hold dear...sometimes our loved ones see greater possibilities for us than we can see for ourselves! What this card is bringing forward for you today is that ultimately, YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOU, and how you will navigate your way through your own unique life experience, so be sure to choose wisely for yourself and to love yourself enough to express that which is YOU authentically!
Blessed be...
